A Pay Rise or Not?
“Unless I get a rise.I'11 have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town .He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all .Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises（加工资）for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead （前额）;his problems seemed endless.Henry Manley had no idea at all why George Strong wanted to see him.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned答案：B解析：题目说的是：Henry Manley早已负债累累。第三段说到公司困难重重，Manley不得不降低产品价格和减少利润。但文章只是说Manley利润减少，并没提到其负债。C正确：
题目说的是：在伯明翰提供给George Strong的工作报酬要好。第一段最后一句话是这么说的：那儿的一家工厂给他提供了一份工作，报酬要好得多。
题目说的是：George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话，他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的：……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作，他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司困难重重。第三段的第二句话是这么说的：“The company was in deep trouble because…”。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的：……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
题目说的是：Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的：他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
题目说的是：George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的：George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住，否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。” -

Finding a Job
At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.Ron was able to take over the shoe shop because______.
A: he got on well with the manager there
B: he knew how to keep the accounts of the business
C: he had had experience of selling books
D: he was young and strong答案：B解析：本文第一段的第一句说到：罗恩（Ron）感到未来在向他召唤：“走出教室，找个工作”，于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
根据本文第一段，他的父亲支持这一决定，并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋，想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”（向往大海），因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病，因而不选。
根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解，这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意，因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。 -

材料题
B
In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe，fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University．I had never before seen a man so tall as he，and so ugly．I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home．
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness．They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears，of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name．
Indeed，his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself．My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes．
Upon arriving at the university that day，I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office．He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall，and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around．
He stepped in，remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out．“Tell me what you see．”I said as I took his place in the room，leaving him in the hall with his back to the door．Without the least hesitation and without a single error，he gave the number of seats in the room，pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls，named the colors each student was wearing，pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard，spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor，and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window．
As I rejoined Wolfe，I was speechless with surprise．He，on the contrary，was wholly calm as he said，“The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all．”
What can be inferred from the passageA.The author was happy to see the test resul
B.What the students said was hardly tru
C.Wolfe would remember forever what the author had don
D.Wolfe felt joyful after he had been teste答案：C解析： -

第13题：
I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person，he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.
I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts，talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him，to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.
After almost two years of time，thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls，I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally，contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart，my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.
Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife，with me-and I found out later，with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically，he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.
Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.
It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.
A．the man was a single person in reality
B．the woman was the man's only girlfriend
C．the man had too many girlfriends on the net
D．the woman had countless online boyfriends
正确答案：C
解析：推断题。题干大意：从第四段能推断出……。根据第四段第三句和第四句可推知，这位男士在网上有许多女友。因此C项是正确选项。 -

D:frequently答案：A解析：本题为阅读理解题，根据下文内容的转折，这里应该是“很少用药”。

本题为阅读理解题，与上半句的“朋友”相对，这里是“对手、敌人”。

本题为语法词汇题。affection名词，“喜爱”;affect动词，“影响”;effect名词，“影响”;effective形容词，“有效的”。
prove“证明”; correct“改正”; create“创造”; prepare“准备”。
根据上下文这里应是“疼痛”的意思。pain“疼”; trouble"麻烦”; destruction “破坏”; damage“损伤”。
awful“极糟糕的”; interesting“有趣的”; successful“成功的”; dangerous“危险的”。

根据下文，妻子应该感到“焦虑”。

A Pay Rise or Not?
“Unless I get a rise.I'11 have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town .He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all .Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises（加工资）for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead （前额）;his problems seemed endless.Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned答案：C解析：题目说的是：Henry Manley早已负债累累。第三段说到公司困难重重，Manley不得不降低产品价格和减少利润。但文章只是说Manley利润减少，并没提到其负债。C正确：
题目说的是：在伯明翰提供给George Strong的工作报酬要好。第一段最后一句话是这么说的：那儿的一家工厂给他提供了一份工作，报酬要好得多。
题目说的是：George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话，他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的：……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作，他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司困难重重。第三段的第二句话是这么说的：“The company was in deep trouble because…”。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的：……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
题目说的是：Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的：他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
题目说的是：George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的：George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住，否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。” -

Too Late to Regret It
When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much .He was natural,warm,and sincere.
I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus , or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm .He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me .Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied（妒忌）me. He wasn't a local , but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with .This was also what my family thought.He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away .However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the oth- er hand,did not do so well at school or at work .I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores。
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June .He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in despair. True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.What did he do to make her happy?
A: He studied much harder.
B: He often took her for a ride.
C: He always endured her insults.
D: He often bought her presents and meals.答案：D解析：本题问“什么时候作者爱上了这个男孩？”文章第一段和第二段提到了作者爱上男孩的时间，即：大学三年级的时候。其他时间与事实不一致。
本题问“他做了什么使她高兴？”本题是细节题。文章第二段中提到“为了要使我快乐，他向他的朋友借钱为我买礼物并请我吃饭。”
本题问“谁建议她与他分手？”文章第五段第一句提到“几乎我所有的同事和朋友劝告我和他分手。”因此选项C“她的同事和朋友”符合题意。
本题问“为什么他离开了她？”文章最后一段提到“他说他无法忍受我，他说他想要回家乡。”显然这是原因所在。所以选项A“他再也无法忍受了”符合题意。
本题问“当得知他将离开她时，她……”。文章最后一段提到“我感到吃惊，我意识到真正的爱只发生一次，但我发现的已经太晚。”由此可见，作者汁这件事情的感觉是痛苦的。因此选项D“非常痛苦”符合题意。 -

Finding a Job
At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.It took about a year for Ron to realize that______.
A: he worked well because he was interested in the job
B: his work at the supermarket was dull
C: being at work was much better than going to school
D: the store manager wanted to get rid of him答案：B解析：本文第一段的第一句说到：罗恩（Ron）感到未来在向他召唤：“走出教室，找个工作”，于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
根据本文第一段，他的父亲支持这一决定，并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋，想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”（向往大海），因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病，因而不选。
根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解，这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意，因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。 -
