Twenty-eight-year-old Marissa Parry was returning home from her job as manager of a bar. She parked her car in a lot next to the local railroad station, locked the door, and started to walk the 100 feet to the entrance of her apartment. The entrance to the apartment is at the rear of the building as the front of the building contains small stores. The neighborhood was covered in a sleeping darkness.Miss Parry noticed a man at the far end of the lot, near a seven-storey apartment house. She halted, then, nervously, she headed up the street, where there is a police call box. She got as far as a street l ight in front of a bookshop, before the man grabbed her. She screamed, “Oh, my God, he stabbed me! Please help me!”. Lights went on in the ten-storey apartment house across the street. Windows were opened and voices spoke in the early-morning stillness. From one the upper windows in the apartment house, a man called down: “Let the girl alone!” The man looked up at him, shrugged(耸肩), and walked down the street toward a white car. Miss Parry struggled to her feet.Lights went on. The man returned to Miss Parry, stabbed her again. Miss Parry called out, “I‟m dying! I‟m dying!” windows were open again and lights went on in many ap artments. The man got into the car and drove away. Miss Parry staggered to her feet, and at the time a city bus passed. The man returned. By then, Miss Parry had crawled(爬行) to the back of the building where doors to the apartment house held out hope for afety. The killer found her at the second door, lying on the floor at the foot of the stairs. He stabbed her again—killing her.Fifteen minutes later, the police received their first call, from a man who was a neighbor of Miss Parry. In two minutes they were at the scene. The neighbor, a 70-year-old woman, and another woman were the only persons on the street. Nobody else came forward. The man explained that he had called the police after much thought. He had phoned a friend for advice and then he had gon e to the apartment of the elderly woman to get her to make the call. “I didn‟t want to get involved,” he told the police.1. When happen the murdering in proper neighborhood? ________A. at duskB. at noonC. at nightD. at dawn2.

The author expresses the emotion of ________ to the killing case.A. sympathyB. indignationC. curiosityD. indifferencePassage BI‟m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today‟s children are significantly mor e anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America‟s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation—brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things—and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can‟t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It‟s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn‟t have to ruin your life.6. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people‟s state of mind are ________.A. surprisingB. confusionC. illogicalD. questionable7. What does the author mean when he says, “we can‟t turn the clock back” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A. It‟s impossible to slow down the pace of change.B. The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D. It‟s impossible to forget the past.8. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill50 years ago ________.A. were less isolated physicallyB. were probably less self-centeredC. probably suffered less from anxietyD. were considered less individualistic9. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is ________.A. to provide them with a safer environmentB. to lower their expectations for themC. to get them more involved sociallyD. to set a good model for them to follow10. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B. Children‟s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C. Children‟s anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D. Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.Passage CIt was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat, with a sandy-colored moustache, a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair. He looked at me with an air of surpris ed disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone. …Ah, yes. You‟d better come inside,‟ he grunted. The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent. …You‟d better sit down,‟ he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy‟s education. I mumble something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.The school was made up of one class of twenty-four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen. I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself. Football and cricket were played in the Park, a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The teaching set up filled me with fear. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry — two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I said shyly, …What would my salary be?‟ …Twelve pounds a week plus lunch.‟ Before I could protest, he got to his feet. He said, …Now, you‟d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs the school.‟ This was the last straw. I was very young: the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.11. The headmaster looked at the author disapprovingly ________ .A. because the latter had left his bootlaces undoneB. because the latter looked too nervousC. because the latter didn‟t show due respectD. as an officer look at a carelessly dressed soldier12. After the author was asked a number of questions, he concluded that the headmaster _______ .A. didn‟t like to play the same gamesB. believed the games was very key to a boy‟s educationC. attached great importance to artD. was a game fan13. The idea of Saturday afternoon cricket was even more discouraging because ________ .A. he had to walk a mile to get to the cricket fieldB. he wasn‟t good at playing cricketC. most of his friends would be free at that timeD. he didn‟t like to play little boys in public14. If the author had had a chance, he would have protested _________ .A. at the term offered by the headmasterB. about meeting the headmaster‟s wifeC. against having lunch at schoolD. about playing cricket on weekends15. We can infer that the author ________ at the end of the story.A. coul dn‟t decide whether he should accept the job or notB. had no choice but to accept itC. refused the job though he needed itD. accepted the job though he didn‟t like it 1-5 D C BBB 6-10 D B C C A 11-15 D B C A CⅣ.
