Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock(闹钟). “Oh no!” he thought to himself. “Another day at that office; a boss (老板) who shouts at me all the time.”
As Frank went downstairs, his eyes fell on a large brown envelope (信封) by the door. He was very happy when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools (足球赌博公司) would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds(英镑).”
Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips (唇) as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. “Please explain why you're so late,” his boss said. “Go and jump in the lake,” said Frank. “I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.”
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar (雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr. Smithson,” one of them said, “we're from Bigwoods Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…”

试题分析:这篇短文为我们讲述了一个关于Frank的故事。Frank在公司里总是挨老板的骂。有一天他收到了一个足球赌博公司的信,信上说他中了很多钱。Frank很高兴,在老板又要责骂他的时候,他毫不犹豫的进行了反击。但是那天晚上两个人来找Frank,说那个足球赌博公司可能寄错了信。
小题1:推理判读题。根据文章的第一句话Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock,Frank醒来关掉闹钟,由此我们可以推断Frank是一个比较懒惰的人。B选项说他是一个幸运的人,由故事的结尾我们可以知道他并不幸运;C选项说他赚了很多钱,由故事的结尾我们也可以知道这不是真的;D选项说他和老板相处的好,由文章的意思我们知道这是不对的。故选A。
小题2:推理判读题。根据文章的最后when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door.当Frank听到敲门声的时候他冲到了门边,我们可以推断出Frank心情很激动,所以他一定是认为他中了很多钱,现在是送钱的人来了。故选B。
小题3:推理判读题。当听到…there's been a terrible mistake…,有一个可怕的错误的时候,Frank感觉怎样。我们首先推断一下这个错误是什么,之前我们知道Frank以为自己中了奖,但现在这个足球赌博公司的人却说他们犯了一个错误,那么这个错误肯定跟他的中奖有关,既然错了,那么也就是说其实Frank并没有中奖,所以这个时候Frank应该是感到很失望,故选A。

Long long ago, there lived two girls named Emily and Tina. Both of them had long black hair and blue eyes. One day while they were playing in the back yard (庭院), Emily heard a tinkling (叮当) sound. She jumped up. “Listen,” she told her twin. They listened. The noise came again.

“Fish stories” are stories of the greatest fish that a fisherman has almost caught, but for some reason, the fish always get away. Usually, these stories do not have much truth to them. One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.
In 1891, a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale. While the hunters were trying to kill the whale, it sank two small boats. One man drowned, and another man, James Bartley, was lost in the ocean. However, after the hunters finally killed the whale, they cut open the whale’s stomach and found Mr Bartley inside. He was not dead!
Several weeks later, Mr Bartley seemed to have gotten over his terrible experience. The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale, it was very hot. The liquid (液体) from the whale’s stomach had turned all of his skin snow white. Mr Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.
Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Not one real fact has been found to prove that the events ever took place described by the sailors. No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr Bartley, and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartley’s experience were explained by other sailors on the boat. Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.
In 1928, after the captain (船长) of the whaling ship had died, one man asked the captain’s wife about Mr Bartley’s story. The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband’s ship was ever swallowed by a whale.
However, this has not stopped James Bartley’s story from being repeated, and many people today still believe that it is true.
小题1:What made Mr Bartley’s skin white?
A.The ocean water.B.The whale’s teeth.
C.The heat inside the whale.D.The liquid in the whale’s stomach.
小题2: Who may have talked to Mr Bartley?
A.A scientist.B.The captain’s wife.
C.The sailors on the ship.D.A newspaper reporter.
小题3:The captain’s wife said that       .
A.the story was not trueB.her husband told her the story
C.the whale was never foundD.Mr Bartley didn’t work for her husband
小题4:Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Here “buy” means       .
A.明白B.相信C.购买D.证明
小题5: In paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 we may know that Mr Bartley       .
A.became a writer laterB.died when he was young
C.told his story to a magazine reporterD.was not even a real person at all

Paul and I live in the same building. His room is on the sixth floor but mine is on the fifth. He’s very careless and sometimes he gets into trouble.
Last Friday afternoon the young man and his friends went to spend the weekend on a wild island. They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there and could do anything they wanted. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down. With the villagers’ help, they swam to the bank. Luckily none of them was hurt. They took a taxi and half an hour later they arrived at our town, but it was two in the night. The young man was hungry and thirsty. He wished to get home as soon as possible. Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key. Of course he could not open the door. Half an hour passed but he failed. He became angry and shouted, “I’ll cut you down with a knife!”
