I was due to take my driving test at 11:30 am. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 am, my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.

我将在早上11点半参加驾驶考试。天下着雨，当我在9点50快到驾驶学校时，我的心一沉。我的驾驶教练Stan说了些鼓励的话，设法使我放松，但无济于事。

We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit (圈), but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking.

出发去考试中心还有一个小时。我想绕一下考试圈，但是我们被交通困住了，只能慢吞吞地往前开。 We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective (各自的) examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous. 我们在11点到达考试中心。Stan示意我看六个学员和他们各自的考官走出大楼。他们的教练从两个窗户探出头看。我们看着他们开走。他们肯定非常紧张。

Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn't-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.

Stan带我去可能的测试道，指出考官所设的机关。天气变得更糟了，我的心情似乎也更糟了。 我已经无所谓了，几乎平静下来。我们及时回到测试中心，正好六个考试的人回来了。他们刚才的心情肯定糟透了。

I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in to call out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car. I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.

Passage 3

The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as

trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. \really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?\can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.

Suppose someone tells you, \lucky dog\Is he really on your side? If he says, \lucky guy\words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the \be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His

posture (体态)? The look in his eyes？Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

我们在任何年纪都会犯错误.有些错误是与钱有关的.而大多数是与人有关的。“当我真得与海伦分手,杰瑞真得关心吗?”.. “当我获得好工作时,作为朋友，杰瑞真的为我开心吗?或者他是嫉妒我呢?”当我们回首过去,这些疑问令我们不安。但是当我们回首时，已经太迟了。为什么对于我们的朋友---或者我们的敌人我们会弄错呢？有时人们所说的隐藏了他们的真实感情。如果我们不用心听，我们就会错过话语的真实感情。

假设有人说，你是个幸运儿。他是出自真心真意吗？如果他说，“你是个幸运的家伙”，那么是发自内心的。在这些词语里，幸运儿有妒嫉的含义，可能说话的人自己没有意识到。但是 “dog”这个词放在词语里，就把你贬低了。他可能想表达的是他认为你不应得到如此好的运气。

如何来判断对方话语的真正感情呢？方法是要注视着对方，判断他的话与表情是否一致？与语调是否一致？还有体态？眼神？好好琢磨琢磨！花时间考虑对方说话的真正感情也许可以避免再犯错误。

31. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _______ 根据第一段的问题我们知道作者觉得他可能没有真正的了解朋友的真实感情。 A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him

B. feels he may not have \ C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen D. is sorry that his friends let him down

32. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of \第二段，作者使用了例子“你是个幸运儿”来表达 A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly

B. this saying means the same as \

C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words 有时对方说的话就提供了他们真实的感情。

D. the word \ 33. This passage tries to tell you how to _______

短文设法告诉我们在理解人们说的话时，如何避免犯错误。

A. avoid mistakes about money and friends B. bring the \

C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D. keep people friendly without trusting them 34. In listening to a person, the important thing is _______

在倾听别人讲话时，最重要的事情是根据对方的举止，语调，体态来判断对方的话。 A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyes B. to listen to how he pronounces his words

C. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture D. not to believe what he says 35. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would _______ 如果你听从作者的建议，你将能够读懂别人话语的真实感情。 A. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you B. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy you C. not lose real friends who say things that do not please you D. be able to observe people as they are talking to you

Passage 2（12月统考已考）

Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.

为什么巴士底狱对巴黎的市民如此重要？它在1370年查尔斯五世时期建造的。在17世纪以前，它一直是重要的国防。Richelieu大主教把它变成了监狱。它不是惩罚普通罪行的普通监狱。它只关国

王的敌人。巴士底狱的运行是秘密的。犯人关在密闭的车里带进来。而且守卫必须面朝墙壁。不允许说话。最糟糕的是，犯人永远不知道将被关多久。只有国王的亲笔信才能释放犯人。

Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions ( 贪污腐败) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717 ~1718, and another 12 days in 1726. 由国王签发的逮捕越来越少。到它被攻陷的时候，里面多数的犯人是写了反对政府贪污文章的作家。法国著名作家伏尔泰， 1717-1718年在巴士底狱呆了一年，接着在1726年又关了12天。

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.

对那些崇尚言论自由，思想自由的人来说，巴士底狱代表着邪恶。它被攻陷时，里面只有7个犯人。但是，巴士底狱还是遭人们的唾弃。它是国王绝对权利的象征。 36. The Bastille had been a prison _______

巴士底狱自从Richelieu大主教以来就成了监狱。 A. since the time of Charles V B. since 1370

C. before the seventeenth century D. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu 37. According to the passage, which of the following statements is FALSE? 下列哪个句子是错误的？

A. Anyone who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in the Bastille. 任何做错事的事情都会发现自己进了巴士底狱。

B. The Bastille was only for those who were opposed to the King. C. Things done in the Bastille were hardly known to people outside. D. Voltaire was twice put in the Bastille.

38. At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed _______在它沦陷时，巴士底狱只关了几个犯人。 A. a large number of prisoners B. a lot of writers who had been against the government C. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinking D. only a few prisoners 39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?哪句是对的？ A. All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for life.

B. Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more.

C. The King could put people in, or let them go out, as he wanted.只要国王喜欢，他可以随意逮人或放人。

D. At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people. 40. This passage mainly _______这文章主要是大致介绍巴士底狱。 A. tells how the prisoners were controlled by the King B. tells how little was known about the Bastille C. shows the inner workings of the Bastille D. gives a brief history of the Bastille Passage 3 Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

每天几乎每个家庭都至少买一份报纸。一些人甚至订2到3份不同的报纸。但是为什么人要看报纸呢？

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.

五百年钱，重大事件，如战争的输赢，国王被废或被杀等，需要好几个月甚至是好几才能传到另外的国家。口头传述的消息永远是不准确的。通过报纸，现在我们可以看到当天发生在遥远国度发生的事情。

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to
