    “How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”
    “He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.
    “Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”
    Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.
    “And then?”
    “Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”
    “But who killed Norman?”
    “Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”
    There was a pause.
    小题1:What may have happened to Aryan?
    A．He was killed by poison.B．He was found missing.
    C．He was poisoned but saved.D．He went away with what he had found.
    小题2:What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?
    A．She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .
    B．She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.
    C．She followed the two men and found what they were doing.
    D．She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.
    小题3:What can we conclude from the above story?
    A．Abbess served the detective.
    B．Emma knows all the people mentioned.
    C．Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.
    D．Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.
    小题4:Which of the following might be true according to the above passage?
    A．Abbess hired Norman to fight against Aryan.
    B．Norman told everything to Emma.
    C．Aryan worked for the detective.
    D．All the people came from the capital.

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    试题分析：Abbess遇上了麻烦，他的生活或生命受到了Aryan的威胁，作为他忠诚的家仆或类似关系的人Norman为主人排除威胁，下毒杀死了Aryan。Norman认为他剥夺了一个人的生命，这本身也是有罪的，因此他选择自己也服毒自尽来谢罪，以此成全主人。该文应该是一篇侦探小说的一个部分。该节选的部分是Emma在对Abbess分析案情。首先要理清人物关系：Emma侦探；Norman和Aryan两个死者，Abbess与两死者间有着某种关系。
    小题1:A推理判断题。从文章第三段He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it.可以知道，Norman从药店买回了毒药并且给Aryan下了毒，再从下文the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.可以知道Aryan已经死了，侦探来查他的死因了。
    小题2:B推理判断题。根据题中when Aryan came back到文中去找相关信息。第二段When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably
    followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.由此处可以知道，Aryan昨天下午
    回来后告诉Norman，说他第二天要去省城见侦探，后来Aryan去了Abbess的房间，并且两人说了
    一些什么事，而此时Norman在外偷听到了他们的谈话。再根据下面一段里Norman做出的反应：
    ①他认为Abbess不会做违法或违背上帝旨意的事。②他要以他的方式来充当一回正义使者。然后
    他给Aryan投毒了。由此判断Aryan在房间对Abbess说的话是对Abbess不利的话。而同时也可以
    推知Norman忠诚于Abbess，他才会去杀死对Abbess构成严重威胁的人。此题根据Abbess当时在
    房间里就可直接排除C、D两个选项。再根据上面的推理，结合A、B两个选项的意思，可以知道
    正确答案应该是B。
    小题3:D推理判断题。根据上题的分析可知。根据第三段里Norman做出的反应：①他认为Abbess
    不会做违法或违背上帝旨意的事。②他要以他的方式来充当一回正义使者。然后他给Aryan投毒了。
    由此判断Aryan在房间对Abbess说的话是对Abbess不利的话。而同时也可以推知Norman忠诚于
    Abbess，他才会去杀死对Abbess构成严重威胁的人。
    小题4:C推理判断题。此题必须认真研读每一个选项，逐个筛选。A从文中Abbess在认真听Emma分析Norman和Aryan的死因可以知道，他没有雇佣Norman去斗Aryan。B从文中可知Aryan死后，Emma作为侦探才介入调查的。因此，B错。C从文中第二段Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. 他第二天早上要去见省城的那个警察，可以判断他可能是为那个警察服务的。再根据D答案所讲的内容在文中根本找不到依据可以判断C就是正确答案。

    I decided to have dinner in the hotel, for I arrived late one night on a business trip. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It seemed to strike home all the more, because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
    My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I inquired as to what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill.  He asked if I knew them and I told him "No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other," and then I departed.
    The next day I entered the restaurant to dine before my departure. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. 
    When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. When they inquired who had done this, the hostess told them they had no idea who I was, just retelling what I said.
    The couple were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying "Love begets(产生) Love" to the amazement of the hostess and waiter.
    I smiled and said "That's nice," and proceeded to order my meal.
    About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess stand and explained that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
    When I told her that they didn't have to do that, she said with a smile "Love begets Love."
    小题1:The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to            . 
    A．suggest love never dies
    B．share an interesting experience
    C．encourage us to help people in need
    D．prove a show of love really makes a difference
    小题2:Why did the elderly couple pay the bill of the two young couples? 
    A．Because they were always ready to help poor people.
    B．Because they were happy to pass the love they gained.
    C．Because they invited the young people to the meal.
    D．Because they didn’t want to take the advantage of the writer’s generosity.
    小题3:What can be inferred from the story?
    A．The love between the elderly couple deeply touched the writer who was single.
    B．The young couples paid the bill of other customers in the restaurant.
    C．The waiter left on purpose and made the writer stay alone to test him.
    D．The writer did all this to prove his belief in love.
    小题4:Which of the following proverbs can best explain the theme of the story?

    Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years， they had been getting along very well.
    Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing， then bitter words， and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob，” John thought.
    Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
    “I’m looking for a few days’ work，” the carpenter said.
    “I do have a job for you，” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbor！”

    I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm      .
    "I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very    , I will do!"
    When it was possible, he would spend an hour     to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,     himself to be the person in the speech.
    "In the beginning, the chickens looked so        , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been        by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me       . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more   and I had a better understanding of the exact      of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
    "You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He        believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not      much.' During the whole childhood,   I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being  at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept     in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared      , therefore I regained my   ."
    Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most   missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can     them by yourself.

    Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable       when I was teaching second        , 10 years ago.
    In May I decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to       ideas of how to       our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day.  I was surprised and      to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I     invited my own mother.
    Finally, the big day arrived. Each child      up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.     it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking       . 
    I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was     if you could keep my mother       while I’m busy.”
    My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy      my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had       the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep       .
    Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s     and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if      was completed. When I came       Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
    I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and    his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t      it.”
    I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had      stopped hugging teachers years ago.
