My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn't at that time.
Last Friday, after 1 all family shopping in town, I wanted a rest 2 catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the 3 coffee shopthat cheap, self-service place with long tables to 4 . I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep 5 , and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in 6 . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, 7 dark glasses and torn 8 , and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What 9 surprise me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.
Naturally, I was annoyed. 10 , to avoid troubleand really I was rather 11 about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took 12 piece of my chocolate. I could 13 believe it. Still I didn't dare to 14 an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more 15 than uneasy. I thought,“Well, I shall have the last piece.”And I got it.
The boy 16 me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,“This 17 is crazy.”Everyone stared. That was embarrassing (令人难堪的) enough, but it was 18 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went redas red as 19 when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just 20 my newspaper.

1.C 提示:do the shopping是一固定短语,意为:买东西。 2.C 提示:下文so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into…表明,作者想要休息的时间是在赶火车之前,故选before。 3.C 提示:由上文…catching the train可以排除其他三项。 4.C 提示:此处with的复合结构作后置定语,修饰place。坐在桌子旁边为sit at。 5.A 提示:keep a place意思是:占一个地方。 6.A 提示:由下文…he had started to eat my chocolate可以判断出这个年轻人就坐在与作者邻近的座位上。 7.B 提示:戴眼镜应用wear。 8.A 提示:由空白前的wearing可以确定此空应填clothes。clothing是物质名词,是“服装”的总称;clothes复数名词指身上穿的衣服。 9.C 提示:此处did是强调词,用来加强主语从句的谓语动词surprise的语气。 10.C 提示:上文叙述了I was annoyed,再从下文to avoid trouble…所表示意义判断,此空应填however。 11.C 提示:feel/be uneasy about sth.意思为:为某事感到不安。 12.B 提示:根据下文的When he took a third piece,可判断此空选B。 13.D 提示:在作者在场的情况下,这位年轻人一再吃作者放在桌子上的巧克力,这实在是一个令人难以置信的事实。 14.D 提示:make an argument是一固定的动词短语,意为:进行争论。 15.D 提示:more… than…在此表示:与其说……不如说…… 16.C 提示:此空应选gave,give sb.a look意思是:对某人看了一眼。 17.A 提示:根据上下文得知,文中的主人翁“I”是一个妇女。 18.B 提示:上文叙述了吃巧克力的年轻人呼喊“This woman is crazy”和“Everyone stared”。此情景令作者感到非常难堪。我们再从下文My face went redas red as his hairwhen I realized I'd made a mistake判断,此空应选worse,表示情况更糟。 19.A 提示:上文中and hair colored bright red at the front已对他的头发所染的颜色有所描述。 20.C 提示:由上文I put my heavy bag down on the floor,put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place及作者对吃巧克力的年轻人发生的误会判断,此空应填介词under,原来作者在无意中把巧克力放在报纸下,以致引起了误会。 |

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。
A
After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack,my world crashed around me.My six children were all under 10,and I was burdened with the responsibilities of earning a living,and caring for the children. I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week,but from Friday nights to Monday mornings,the children and I were alone.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big pretty German Shepherd(牧羊犬)on our doorstep. This dog seemed to intend to enter the house. The children liked“German”immediately and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.
The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner,but with no results.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by,we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas,we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. No way was he going to be left behind.
Monday morning I let him out for a run. He didn’t come back and we were all disappointed. We were convinced that we would never see him again. We were wrong. The next Friday evening,German was back on our doorstep. Again he stayed until Monday morning,when our housekeeper arrived.
This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and more fond of German. We took comfort in his strong,warm presence,and we felt safe with him near us. As German became part of the family,he considered it his duty to check every bedroom to be sure each child was cozy in bed.
Each week,between German’s visits,I grew a little stronger,a little braver and more able to handle; every weekend we were no longer alone and enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted him on the head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. We never saw German again.
