（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）Passage 1I never saw my father or mother. My first most vivid impression of things seemed to me to have been gained on a memorable afternoon towards evening near my parents’ graves in the churchyard（教堂墓地）.“Hold your noise!” came a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. “Keep still, or I’ll cut your throat!”A fearful man with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old cloth tied round his head. He seized me by the chin（下巴）.“Tell me your name!” said the man. “Quickly!”“Pip, sir.” I tried to keep myself from crying.“Show me where you live,” said the man. “Point out the place!”I pointed to where our village lay, a mile or more from the church.The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread.“You young dog, now look here!” said the man. “Where’s your mother?”“There, sir!” said I.He looked surprised, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder.“There, sir!” I explained, pointing to the tombstone. “That’s my mother.”“Oh!” said he, coming back. “And is that your father along your mother?”“Yes, sir,” said I, “him too.”“Ha!” he said then. “Who do you live with supposing you’re kindly let to live, which I hadn’t made up my mind about?”“M y sister, sir — Mrs. Joe Gargery —wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, sir.”“Blacksmith, eh? Now look here,” he said, “the question being whether you’re to be let to live. You get me a file（锉）and food, and bring both to me, or I’ll have your heart and live out.”I said that I would get him the file and what broken bits of food I could find, and I would come to him at the Battery, early in the morning.“Say Lord strike you dead if you don’t! ”said the man.I said so, and he took me down.When he came to the low church wall, he got over it, and then turned around to look for me. When I saw him turning, I set my face towards home, and made the best use of my legs.31. Which of the following do you think the man was?A. A policemanB. An escaped prisonerC. A travelerD. A soldier32. Which of the following statements CANNOT be used to describe the man?A. He was poorly dressed.B. He was afraid to be found by other people.C. He was hungry.D. He was kind to the boy.33.

The boy’s village was a mile or more from the church.B. The boy’s parents were both dead.C. The boy’s brother-in-law was a blacksmith.D. The little boy didn’t promise he would do what the man asked him to do.35. Why did the word blacksmith catch the man’s attention?A. He was afraid that the blacksmith would kill him.B. He was certain that the blacksmith would help him break his chains.C. He thought he might ask the boy to get him a file to break his chains.D.

Those whose children have moved elsewhere, or don’t care? Perhaps a nobody’s Mum, who’s lived alone for years in an old house or bed-sitting room without any help or having friends or relatives around.The local council do what they can: a cooked dinner brought on weekdays, a home help on two mornings to clean up and do the shopping, a district nurse calling now and then. But most of the time they are lonely and unhappy.“Put her in an Old People’s Home. They’ll look after her.”They would if they could. With a garden, a room with the television, good meals, someone to see she’s all right, and, above all, company. There are some very cozy Council Old People’s Homes around.And the flats for the more active, with central heating, a restaurant if they don’t feel like cooking for themselves, a room to get together in, a warden to give an eye.Just what the old folks need —if they can get in. In our town there are two homes taking sixty people together and flats for about a hundred and fifty. And a waiting list of more than a thousand.It may seem unlikely now but it’s on the cards that you’ll be old one day. Maybe one of the lucky ones with a family to live with or helpful neighbors and friends. And maybe alone, cold, even bedridden. With nobody at all to keep you company.So won’t it be yourselves you’ll be helping if you start moving your local council to do something more for those who’ve done their bit for society and now just aren’t wanted?More old people’s flats for the active, more homes where the nobody’s Mum can find a bit of comfort and friendship in their last but unhappy years.36. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Old people are the burden of the society.B. Few people take care of their parents.C. Old people have made contributions to the society.D. There are enough Council Old People’s Homes around.37. In the author’s opinion, who are considered lucky ones?A. Old people who have comfortable homes to live in.B. Old people who have a family to live with or helpful neighbors and friends.C. Old people who live alone.D. Old people who live in the Council Old People’s Homes.38. When the author says that if you start moving your local council to do something for old people,you will be helping yourselves, what does he mean?A. You will be old one day.B. You will be helping your own parents.C. You will find a lot of fun from helping others.D. Old people will thank you.39. What does the phrase on the cards in paragraph 8 mean?A. OrdinaryB. CertainC. RightD. True40. What is the main purpose of the author by writing this article?A. Urging people to help old people and build more homes for old people.B. Criticizing the local council.C. Criticizing young people.D. Giving a description of the Council’s Old People’s Homes.Ⅲ. 用国际音标标出下列单词中划线字母或字母组合的读音（本大题共20小题，每两小题1分，共10分）（注意：使用新式或老式音标均可）41. willingness / /42. announcer / /43. acceptance / /44. apartment / /45. mechanic / /46. bookish / /47. paragraph / /48. loose / /49. enquiry / /50. triumph / /51. sympathetic / /52. immobile / /53. patiently / /54. awkward / /55. stretch / /56. appointment / /57. withdrawal / /58. rarely / /59. transition / /60. acquaintance / /Ⅳ. 完形填空（本大题共20小题，每两小题1分，共10分）Little Grace died in the fall.
