阅读理解。     Three young ladies were receiving trains to be qualified detectives (侦探) by a policeman. To test their
skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑人), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second girl smiled, flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It"s easy to
find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "How would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer. " The
third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM . . . he is wearing contact
 lenses (隐形眼镜)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn"t know himself
if the man wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check
his file. He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect"s file in his computer and returned
with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can"t believe it . . . it"s TRUE! The man does in fact wear contact lenses.
Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That"s easy," the girl replied, "He
can"t wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"1. Which of the following cannot be concluded from the passage that detectives should have?A. They must be humorous. 
B. They must have a strong ability of observation.. 
C. They must be good at memorizing. 
D. They must be good at thinking. 2. How did the third lady know the suspect was wearing contact lenses?A. She sold contact lenses before.
B. She just had the same idea as the first two girls
C. She had been wearing contact lenses for a long time.
D. She wouldn"t want to give the stupid answer.3. According to the passage we can infer that ________.  A. the suspect was easy to be recognized
B. the suspect was caught by the policeman
C. the suspect must be a disabled person
D. the picture was just a side of the suspect.4. What will probably happen to the three ladies after this test? A. All of them may be given more training courses or fired.  
B. The second lady may be accepted as a detective at once.
C. The third lady is good at thinking and doesn"t need any training. 
D. The first lady may be accepted as a detective at once.

阅读理解。     Every object in the world will tell a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful
images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary.
Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman"s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is different about this shoe is where it was
found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in
Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as
the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn"t need
in order to travel lighter?
     Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them
understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a
dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
     The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with
them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies
in backpacks (背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to
the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman.
Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will
ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the
19th century.1.  An ordinary woman"s leather shoes is considered unusual because _______.  A. it was an important clue to life in the past
B. it was found on a famous trail
C. it at one time belonged to a VIP
D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time 2. According to this passage, in the past many people who went to Alaska _______.  A. eventually became millionaires
B. brought with them many shoes
C. had conflicts with the Eskimos
D. were not properly equipped 3. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year"s supplies with them so that _________. A. they would not die of hunger and cold
B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war
C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos
D. the supplies would make Alaska rich 4. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______.  A. she must have lived a happy life
B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose
C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired
D. her other shoes were equally fashionable

     The charm of a city is not the level of its tolerance (宽容), but the humanistic care and warmth it offers
to disadvantaged groups. Last week, Beijing"s urban administration and civil administration departments
began an intensive winter relief camp to persuade people forced to sleep on the streets to move to relief
centers, which was met with a cold response. But the government wouldn"t abandon their efforts to help
the needy.
     Actually, it is not new for people used to sleeping on the streets to refuse to shift to relief centers.
There are three main reasons why they do so. First, the lack of understanding among the staff at such
centers has produced a sense of fear and strangeness among destitute people. Second, a relief center is
less convenient for such people and many of them, such as professional beggars, could even lose their
"jobs". And third, many of them know that they would finally be sent back home, which they want to
avoid.
     Since the homeless are quite defensive, it would be better if officials take a friendly and patient attitude
to persuade them to move into relief centers. The officials have to explain to people that relief centers are more comfortable and convenient.
     Besides, the government could build open centers, which are less formal than the existing relief centers, to provide temporary (临时的) place to professional beggars and garbage collectors, instead of forcing
them to return to their villages and towns.
     A more flexible institutional arrangement could help clear the streets of extremely poor people.
     Since the existing relief system is "non-professional", experts argue that more legal methods and
management measures are needed to deal with professional beggars, especially because persuasion alone
cannot stop them from begging.
     Also, more measures have to be taken to make the system perfect.1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the beggars refused to move to the relief centers?A. The staff at relief centers makes them feel uncomfortable.
B. The existing relief centers are "non-professional".
C. Many beggars do not want to be sent back to their original villages or towns.
D. Moving to relief centers will probably cause economic losses to the professional beggars.2. Which of the following words can take the place of "destitute" in the third paragraph?A. poor          
B. hungry      
C. ordinary        
D. unfriendly3. What can we conclude from the passage?A. The charm of a city is decided by the humanistic care offered to disadvantaged groups. 
B. the existing relief centers are not comfortable or convenient.
C. many homeless people welcomed the winter relief program well.
D. the present relief system for beggars is not perfect4. What is the attitude of the author towards the winter relief camp?A. positive      
B. negative      
C. neutral        
D. not caring about

阅读理解。     The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C.
Manigault, the wife of my mother"s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School
in Camden, New Jersey.
     During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she
listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn"t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.
She took me to the theatre - not just children"s theatre but adult comedies and dramas - and her faith that
I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
     My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at
home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I"ll never
forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis"s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
     Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer
herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My
column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities - and it did-but it
also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the
discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of
published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
     Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favorite niece". Like a diamond, she has
reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.1. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.      
B. She developed her taste for music.
C. She introduced her to adult plays.        
D. She discovered her talent for dancing.2. What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A writer of high fame.                
B. A book of great fun.
C. A serious masterpiece.                
D. A heartbreaking play.3. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ______.A. give her a chance to collect material   
B. develop her capabilities for writing
C. involve her in teenage social activities      
D. offer her a series of writing jobs4. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who _______.A. gave pupils confidence in developing their potential
B. I trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.
D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning
