    We were a very motley (混杂的) crowd of people who took the bus every day many years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat drowsily (昏昏欲睡地) with our collars up to our ears.
    A small grey man took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
    The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: "And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured "Good morning!" in reply.
    The following weeks we were more surprised. Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
    One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: "Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?" The man nodded shyly and said yes. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.
    The summer went by when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the new day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or – hopefully – on holiday somewhere, Later we were told one of his very close friends had died at the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work. The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, a little bit more grey. Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in a church. Even though no one had talked about it, all those of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.
    小题1:From the first paragraph we can inter that the passengers ____.
    A．had a cheerful trip every morningB．didn't know each other
    C．seldom talked to each otherD．talked and laughed on the way
    小题2: Why were some of the passengers amazed when the old man greeted them?
    A．Because he looked energetic.B．Because he spoke in a loud voice.
    C．Because he was holding some flowers. D．Because they hardly greeted each other.
    小题3:How did the passengers feel when Charlie was not there the next day?
    A．Concerned. B．Pleased.C．Surprised.D．Disappointed.
    小题4: The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph most probably refers to ____.
    A．the reach for his not taking the busB．the death of one of his very close friends
    C．the reach for his looking more greyD．the silence on the bus

    小题1:C
    小题1:D
    小题1:A
    小题1:B

    小题1:细节理解题。根据“we sat drowsily with our collars up to our ears. ”推断，乘客之间很少交谈。
    小题1:推理判断题。由于乘客之间很少问候，所以有人突然向所有的人问候，他们会感到惊奇。
    小题1:推理判断题。根据“他是否得病了”和“希望他是外出度假了”推断，乘客非常关心他。
    小题1:代词指代题。根据“Later we were told one of his very close friends had died at the weekend. ”，此处的it指的是他的朋友去世这件事情。

    When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was   36 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my   37 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re   38  my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in   39  ……”
    He didn’t finish the   40 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was   41 . He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.
    Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade   42  because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being   43  in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this   44 .
    But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my   45  in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to   46  an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest   47  of his knowledge and it would have been   48 to other students. How could I   49  give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
    I know  50  reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like   51  too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up  52_ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is  _53 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
    Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did   54  him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have _55
    him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

    I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I finished my work at 4 o’clock and then went to the post office. Then I stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruit. We’d like to have some fruit after swimming.
    I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter’s school. Over my road was another road, which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.
    Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.
    I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.
    For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out, “I’m here!” when I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. “How are you doing?” he asked. “Not too bad, ”I said. “But my feet and legs feel as if they’re broken.”“We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can.” They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

    Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up（入伍）papers．Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force (RAF)．
    His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate（地产）when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.
    "Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army..."
    "No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy——at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let's leave it at that." His face went red. Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.
    The father glared at Stephen, "No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what's all this about America?"
    "America?"
    "Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration（移民）．"
    The big, silvered head lowered, like that of a bull about to charge．"Don't trouble to deny it."
    "I won't, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research——the sort of research I could do．It would be a worthwhile life for me."
    The father responded exactly as his son had known he would．"You've got a worthwhile life here！You've got an estate to run！"
    "No, Father. You've got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I..."
    "If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours——only think about it, mind you but..."
    小题1:If Father wanted Stephen to take over the estate, the first thing he did would__________．
    A．take a walk with Stephen as usual B．wait till his son graduated from Cambridge
    C．persuade Stephen not to go into RAF D．send Stephen to the Army instead of RAF
    小题2:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Stephen preferred to go into the Navy rather than the Army.
    B．Stephen also received his call-up papers as Roy.
    C．The father didn't like Stephen's idea of going to America.
    D．Stephen was eventually forced to stay to run the estate．
    小题3:After reading this passage, we can infer that__________．
    A．Stephen had never had to defend his desires before
    B．Baden might be one of Stephen's family members
    C．Stephen wanted to fly in RAF and become a pilot in America
    D．if somebody took over the estate, Stephen could realize his dream
    小题4:What do we learn from the underlined sentence?
    A．It looked as if the father was angry when mentioning the brochures.
    B．The father was very angry and wanted to beat his son Stephen．
    C．Stephen was annoyed when his father referred to the brochures.
    D．A big red bull was about to charge at Stephen.

    The story begins with fishing.
    Once a boy and his father went fishing before bass (a kind of special fish) season opened. They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).
    The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
    “Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
    Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
    That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
    And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics (伦理道德)are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
    小题1: What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?
    A．The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
    B．The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
    C．The father lit a match in order to check the time.
    D．They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.
    小题2:From the text we know that the father _____.
    A．disliked the huge fishB．was firm and stubborn
    C．didn’t love his sonD．always disagreed with his son
    小题3:The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.
    A．they might catch a big fish there
    B．he was taught a moral lesson there
    C．it was a most popular fishing spot
    D．their children enjoyed fishing there
    小题4:What does the story imply?
    A．An ethical decision is always easy to make.
    B．It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
    C．It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes
    D．Fishing can help one to make right decisions
    小题5:What kind of the person the father is?
    A．kindB．honestC．optimisticD．satisfied

    Work is a part of living —my grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs , pigs and cattle for meat . Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.
    The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”
    Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me.
    Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It’d sure be a help to me . And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.
    Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.
    小题1:When he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that         .
    A．he had found a good job
    B．he would have something to eat
    C．he would no longer suffer from the Depression
    D．he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect
    小题2:The writer’s grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because     .
    A．he didn’t want them to have a meal free of charge
    B．he had been needing to get it moved
