Reading Comprehension （40分）ARiding was the favourite activity of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third President of the United States. He usually rode good horses.One day, he was riding outside Washington, when a jockey (赛马师) came near. He did not know the President, but his professional eye was attracted by Mr. Jefferson‟s horse. He stopped and said that he wanted to buy the horse, but Mr. Jefferson politely refused his offer.The jockey offered more money for the horse, because the closer he looked at the horse, the more he liked it. All of his offers were refused, which made him angry. He then became rude, but his rudeness left as little an impression as his money, for Jefferson had a very good temper. At last, he hit Mr. Jefferson‟s horse with his whip, getting it to run suddenly. This would have thrown a less skillful rider to the ground, but Jefferson stayed on his seat, and controlled his horse well.The jockey then gave up. He rode with Mr. Jefferson side by side and began to talk with him about politics. Jefferson joined in the conversation. When they got into the city and came close to the gate of the presidential mansion (总统府), Mr. Jefferson stopped, and politely invited the man to enter.The jockey was surprised and asked, “Why? Do you live here?”“Yes” was the simple reply.“Why, stranger, what‟s your name?”“My name is Thomas Jefferson.”Embarrassed, the man quickly left, while the President looked at him with a smile and then rode through the gate.41. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Jefferson and the JockeyB. Jefferson‟s InterestC. Be Polite to EveryoneD. No Pain, No Gain42. Which word can best describe the jockey?A. Professional.B.

We can infer from the passage that __________.A. the jockey had once bought a horse from another strangerB. Mr. Jefferson was very good at riding a horseC.

One January, I had to hold two funerals on su ccessive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “ If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It‟s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “ If only I hadn‟t insisted on my mother‟s going to Florida, she would be alive today.That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It‟s my fault that she‟s dead.”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.46. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A. They lived out a natural life.B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C. They weren‟t used to the change in weather.D. They died due to lack of care by family members.47. The author had to conduct the two women‟s funerals probably because ______.A. he wanted to comfort the two familiesB. he was an official from the communityC. he had great pity for the deceasedD. he was minister of the local church48. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _____.A. they couldn‟t find a better way to express their sorrowB. they believe that they were responsibleC. they had neglected the natural course of eventsD. they didn‟t know things often turn in the opposite direction49. According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that_____.A. everything in the world is predeterminedB. the world can be explained in different waysC. there is an explanation for everything in the worldD. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world50. What‟s the idea of the passage?A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B. Every story should have a happy ending.C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.CThe Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information can even be on sale on an illegal website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they had bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers(黑客)have broken down security system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay $ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for web-only credit-cards, with a lower credit limit. The card can be used only for shopping online. However , there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm‟s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first $ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the website offers advanced security system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The website address may also start with https://--the extra “s” stands for security. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.51. The underlined word “fraud” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. use52.

The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement(graduation ceremony).Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.Our principal, Mr Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyesconvinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smil es fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core(the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn‟t boring for those receiving the di ploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person‟s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.56.
