     Outside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that
some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined
to find out if she really was a witch.
     They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their
disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old lady's work was
interrupted by the cackling of her hen-a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the
haystack.
     The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a
black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty
to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof-the children were sure that only a witch could
own a black cat with three legs.
     There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking
the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the
old lady fell.
     "We have to got and help her," whispered Amy.
     "What if it is a trick?" replied Ben.
     "Don't be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already," reasoned
Meg. "Come on Amy, let's go." The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.
     Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old lady's face. She had knocked her head
on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. "Go and get Dad," Amy yelled to her brother. "Tell him
about the accident."
     The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that
Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.

1. Were the children hiding in the tree?

A. They wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.
B. They were playing a hide-and-seek game.
C. They wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.
D. They were pretending to be spies

2. Mrs. Tailor stopped sweeping when _____.

A. her front steps were clean
B. she noticed the children in the tree
C. she was ready to take a flight
D. she heard the hen cackling

3. Ben did not rush in help Mrs. Tailor because _____.

A. he thought that she could be necking them
B. he knew that they could not have been in the tree
C. he did not the old lady fall down
D. he was afraid of the three-legged cat

4. Which of these old sayings best suits the story's lesson for us?

A. Make hay while the sun shines.
B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. People in glasshouses should not the stones.
D. A bird in the hands worth two in the bush.

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters（招募者）can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．

The Council on Higher Education Accreditation（CHEA）recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit（授权）schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．

We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g．Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?

Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?

Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．

Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．

56．This passage is probably from ________．

A．a magazine B．a newspaper

C．a text book D．a radio program

57．This passage is mainly about ________．

A．how to get an American education online

B．what to learn in an American university

C．the introductions to schools offering distance learning

D．the advantages of online education

58．What else should be taken into consideration about cost besides the published price?

A．The cost for books and technology requirements．

B．The cost for books and a new computer．

C．The cost for new software and a high-speed Internet connection．

D．The cost for technology requirements and even a classroom．

59．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?

A．Ask the members of CHEA． B．Go on the website of chea.org．

C．Ask Michael Lambert for help． D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．

60 According to Michael Lambert，________．

A．to get a certificate or a license is much easier than to get a degree

B．it’s not fair for the schools to charge extra money beside the published price

C．the level of interaction that an online program offers is quite considerable

D．people’s comments about schools are always unbelievable
