4、然间我听到一个女孩的可怕的叫声。我的心跳(beat)停了一下。我又听到一声喊叫。我心想(think to oneself)“发生什么事了(what is going on)”，接着我看到了！是一只至少(at least) 一英寸(inch)半长的小蟑螂！这是我第一次在真实的生活中看到。以前在图片里和电影(movie)里看到过，因此我知道那是一只蟑螂。我们的老师快速跑去拿来(fetch) 一些纸巾(paper towel)。说实话(to be honest)，我本以为窗户(window)清洁剂不会起什么作用，但我错了。这只小蟑螂被淋了一大滴“窗户清洁剂”，躺在地板上(lie on the flo

9、们的老师不太高兴，她发现她是唯一要善后打扫(clean up)这个脏(dirty)地方的人。大部分人没有意识到(realize)当你踩蟑螂时会发出一种可怕的你不想听到的声音(sound)。因此，你要杀死一只蟑螂时，当心(watch out)那“嘎扎嘎扎”的声音。 42.This Is My SupperMiss Green ate a lot for every meal, and she liked eating meat, especially pork and beef.

14、林小姐，你为什么吃土豆（potatoes）和水饺(dumplings)呢？那页食物清单(list)里没有这些。”“医生，可我是在午餐时吃规定的食物，”格林小姐回答：“这是我的晚餐(supper)。”真有趣！那就是格林小姐更胖的原因了。但从那以后，格林小姐就下定决心(make up ones mind)要减肥，还努力(make an effort to do)遵循医生的建议。 43.

29、. They collected all their soldiers and fought with each other. Brave men were killed, and women and children died because they could get nothing to eat.When it seemed that neither side could win the war, the kings began to talk about peace.

32、 one; if I had, I should have sent it to you.”“Well, well! “said the first king, “We have been fighting about nothing.

34、ut peace)。首先(first of all)，有必要去解释(explain)那两条信息。两位国王都因对方所说的话而生气。第二位国王问道，“你当时说送我一只长着黑尾巴的蓝猪，否则，你那么说是什么意思？”“怎么，”第一位国王回答道，“我只能表示一个意思啊，我是说我希望你给我送一只黑尾巴的蓝猪，或者其他颜色的猪。”（注：or else可有两种解释，一是作为短语，译为“否则”，二是作为两个单独的单词，放在一起译为“或者其他”）第二位国王回答，“哎呀！就是这个意思啊？我没有理解你信息的全部。”他补充说(add)。“真可惜(what a pity)!”“嗯，但我必须知道你的回信是什么意思，”第一位

35、国王补充道，“你说我没有这样的猪，即使我有”。“我的回答很清楚啊。我是说我没有那样的猪；如果有的话，我会送给你的。”“哎呀！”第一位国王说，“我们之间的战争毫无理由。如果我们能在战争开始之前解释清楚这些事情，这场痛苦的战争(bitter war)就一定能避免(avoid)。”于是这场关于黑尾巴的蓝猪的战争被载入(was recorded)两国史册以防止(prevent)此类现象再次发生。 47. A Girls SmileAbout ten years ago when I was a student in college, life was hard for me then. Both my

36、 parents had lost their jobs, so I worked at my Universitys Museum in my spare time.

37、wearing a pretty white dress, also a little red cap.When they came closer to me, I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼).

39、s ago.

40、，当我正在礼品店工作时(while working in the gift shop)，我看到一对老年夫妇推着一个坐在轮椅(wheelchair)里的小女孩进来了。当我仔细看这女孩时，我发现她没有胳膊和腿，只有头(head)、颈和躯干。她穿着漂亮的(pretty)白色衣服(dress)，还戴着一顶小红帽(cap)。当他们走近我时，我转向这个女孩并对她眨了眨眼。我从她的祖父母(grandparents)手里接过钱时，我又回头看看那个女孩，她正在给我一个最漂亮、最灿烂的微笑。突然间她的残疾消失了，我所看到的是一个完美的(perfect)女孩。她的笑容深深地(deeply)打动了我，几乎立刻让我对人

41、生有了全新的(completely new)感觉(sense)。她把我从一个贫穷不幸大学生带入了她的世界：一个微笑、爱和温暖的世界。那是十年前的事了。现在我已是一名成功的商人。无论何时(whenever)我情绪低落(in low spirits)、因烦恼而忧虑时，我就会想起那个小女孩和她教给我的关于生活的教训，因此，我从未丧失勇气(lose courage)。 48.Take Our Daughters to Work DayOn April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Brkain. Started in America and broug

42、ht to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15.

47、好，但实际上，女孩可以像男孩一样做她们想做的任何工作，无论是飞行员(pilot)、护士还是经理(manager)都可以。在这个特殊的日子(on this special day)，女孩可以近距离地观察她们的父母在做什么，这可能会有助于女孩在选择工作时增加自信。学校和许多公司也认为这项活动(activity)很有用。伦敦北部的格林女子中学已经把这一天作为教育的必要组成部分了。15岁的加莱纳就读于格林中学，她去了她妈妈的律师事务所(law office)她发现看她妈妈工作很有意思。她一直有步入法律界的想法，她想可能以后她会像妈妈一样工作。如果家长相信他们的女儿，在工作中、在家里都为她们树立榜样会对

59、“我倒想看看你怎么做。”半个小时后，我们来到了泳池的岸边(bank)。本一只手抓着他那荒唐的风筝，另一只手拿着根圆木。他坐在岸边，脱掉衣服，然后把风筝线(thread)的一端系在一只脚上。然后他把风筝放飞，让风带动它。风筝在泳池上空升起(rise)。“这太棒了(fantastic)!”我大喊道。本对我笑着，然后跳进(jump into)泳池。他一只胳膊抱着他的圆木，向后仰着，让风筝拉着(pull)他游过泳池。“噢，我明白了！”大叫道，“这是一次飞航！” 51. The Colorful WorldThe world around us is full of colors: the grass

60、is green, the sky is blue. What a pity it will be if people can not see all the colors. But there are people who are blind to certain colors.Human color blindness is a strange thing to explain In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones(锥形物)”. They help us to see in bright

61、light and to tell the difference between colors There are also millions of “rods(视网膜杆)”but they are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.
