阅读理解。     An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with
the pots across her neck.
     One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递

crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."
     The old woman smiled: "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the
other pot"s side? That"s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on
your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them."
     "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without
you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty."

阅读理解。     Driving to a friend"s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just
above my friend"s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was
that most city people, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives
indoors.
     My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him
then. It had touched much of his life.
     I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of
northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot
water. Our group had campfires(篝火) outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside.
The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever
known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
     Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones,
pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
     Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought:
before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk
in the mountains. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and
measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch
the moon.1. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Touched by the moon
B. The pleasures of modern life
C. A bottomless well of silence
D. Break away from modern life  2. The writer felt sorry for himself because________.A. there was too much pollution
B. he seldom enjoyed the fullest moon outsides
C. he didn"t adapt to modern inventions
D. there were too many accidents on the road 3. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?A. No modern equipment
B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moonlight
D. The high mountains4. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.A. show that the writer likes city life very much
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C. explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them

阅读理解。     Trait was an experienced safecracker who never used force -either against people or safes
(保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most
difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two
friends, he took about $330,000 -from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early
in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don’t
need all that much."
     A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Strait was caught by the police. Then he was
sent to Austria’s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial that
he would continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite
the warning, prison officials moved Strait to the prison’s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during
the week before Christmas, Strait disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked.
Strait had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out.
     Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Strait attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of
German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison,
"he explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences
for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
     In prison, Strait persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his
former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I’m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn’t want to
embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions weren’t that bad. In fact the food was better than
it is here."1. The underlined word "safecracker" in the first paragraph means "_________".A. prisoner

阅读理解。     A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen
and each morning he would look in his garden and pick up his hen’s egg for breakfast. One
morning he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman’s garden.
     He was about to go next door when he saw the English-man pick up the egg. The Scotsman
ran up to the English-man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen.
The Englishman disagreed because the egg was on his property(财产).
     They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally settle disputes
by the following actions: We kick each other and we compare the time how long it takes us to
get back up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
     The Englishman agreed to this, so the Scotsman found his heaviest pair of boots and put
them on. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he
could in his stomach.
     The Englishman fell to the floor, holding his stomach and howling in pain for 10 minutes.
Eventually the English-man stood up and said, "Now it’s my turn to kick you." At this time,
the Scotsman said, "Aye Lad, maybe you should just keep the egg."1. What do we know about the hen?_____A. It belonged to the two men equally.
B. It laid an egg every other day.
C. Its eggs were usually cooked by the Scotsman as breakfast.
D. It usually laid eggs in the Englishman’s garden. 2. The underlined word "disputes" in Paragraph 3 means "_______". A. arguments
B. wars
C. plans
D. Debts3. What’s the real purpose of the Scotsman’s proposal (提议)?_____A. He wanted to get his egg back from the Englishman.
B. He wanted to solve their dispute.
C. He wanted to teach the Englishman a lesson.
D. He wanted to find out who was the stronger of them.
