17、yed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I dont know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, theres not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the 5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you wont be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that wont le

18、ave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it wont be much use to you. Actually I dont mind about the money too muc

19、h. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I dont suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of pap

20、ers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasnt even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped

21、 it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. Weve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.Im not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated

22、and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But Ive lost just a little more faith in human natureAnd as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldnt ans

23、wer that question. I wonder if you can.36. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to _. . A. describe the contents of the bag in detail.

25、out human nature. D. They are unable to find the thieves.39. Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warning. B. To express her affection for her valuable bag. C. To call peoples attention to their belongings. D. To complain about the fall of morality. BAlthough many Ch

26、inese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good ,most would admit that their spoken English is poor .Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there

27、 may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive .Others wil

28、l follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous .Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate

29、 following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly .However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doe

30、snt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances（留出余地，体谅）for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening .You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chine

31、se students are reactive rather than proactive language learners .Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor .If you have this proactive outlook ,then yo

32、u will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know .Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.40. What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the pas

33、sage? A. To improve your reading.B. To improve your spoken English. C. To improve your listening. D. To improve your vocabulary. 41. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that . A. dont be afraid of making mistakes .Just speak! B. dont be nervous ,dont be shy .Just write! C. dont be fluency .J

34、ust be accuracy D. dont be shy ,dont be fluency. Just listen and write!42. The text is most probably taken from a . A. teachers diaryB. report on study C. sports newspaperD. movie magazine CTo err is humanTo blame the other guy is even more humanCommon sense is not all that commonWhy tell the truth

35、when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes （戏谑的引语） are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human natureTo err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people dont want to accept the responsibility for the problemPerhaps

36、it is the natural thing to doThe original quote about human nature went like this, “ To err is human, to forgive, divine（神圣的）” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others mistakesInstead, we tend to do the opposite - find someone else to pass the blame on toHowever, taking res

37、ponsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturityCommon sense is what we call clear thoughtHaving common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the planCommon sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a ra

38、instorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshineCommon sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everythingPeople say that in a large company, “the right hand does n

39、ot know what the left hand is doing”And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that its okay not to be totally honest all the timeThere

40、is a corollary（直接推论）to that: if good excuse is “good” even if it isnt honest, then where is the place of the truth?43According to the author, what is a sign of a mans maturity?ADoing things in his own way. BBearing responsibility for his mistakes.CMaking as few mistakes as possible DThinking serious

41、ly about his wrong doing.44Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?AA man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.BA student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.CA companys next move follows a good plan. DA lawyer acts on fine judgments.45What is the authors opinion

42、 about a good excuse?AMaking a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.BInventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.CA good excuse is as rewarding as honesty. DBitter truth is better than a good excuse.46What would be the best title for his passage?A. A Mirror of Human Nature B. To Blame or to For

43、giveC. A Mark of Maturity D. Truth or Excuse DA few days ago I asked my sons governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia,” I said, “Lets settle our accounts.

45、ith Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays. ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars.

47、rs Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽) , Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes.

48、 You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didnt. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well. if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears.

49、 Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife.

52、e all ready for you. Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱) ?Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent?

57、 I had the power of sight for just three days!The first day would be a busy one.

And I should pray for the glo
