阅读下列短文,并做每篇后面的题。从各题所给的四个选项中,选出能完成所给句子的
最佳选项。
A
Tom walked into a shop.It had a sign outside:“Second-hand(旧的) clothes bought
and sold.”He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop,
“How much will you give me for these?”The man looked at them and then said:“Two
dollars.”
“What!”said Tom.“I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars.”
“No,”said the man。“they aren’t worth a cent more than two dollars.”
“Well,”said Tom,taking two dollars out of his pocket.“Here’s your money.These
trousers were hanging outside your shop.The list price(标价) of them was six dollars
and a half.But I thought that was too much money,so I wanted to find out how much
they were really worth.”
Then he walked out of the shop with the pair of trousers and disappeared before
the shop owner could think of anything to say.
51.At first the owner of the shop thought that Tom ________.
A.wanted to steal the trousers
C.Wanted to fool him
B.wanted to sell the trousers
D.wanted to buy the trousers
52.The owner of the shop ________ for the old trousers.
A.would give Tom two dollars
B.would pay three dollars
C.would pay five dollars
D.would give Tom six dollars and a half
53.The shop owner insisted that the trousers were worth only two dollars because
________.
A.he wanted to sell them cheaply
B.he wanted to buy them cheaply
C.he didn’t like the trousers
D.they were old and dirty
54.In fact,the trousers ________.
A.were hanging inside the shop

B
The customs(风俗) in different countries are rather different.If I have a dinner
with a Chinese host,he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied
it.That often discomforts me greatly.I have to eat the food even if I do not want
to because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate.I
have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party,he often
refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty.This
might be good manners in China but is not in the West at all.In the United States,
it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting
something.Americans have a direct way of speaking.If they want something,they
will ask for it.If not,they will say,“No,thanks.”When an American is served
with beer by the host,for example,he might say,“No,thanks.I’ll take some orange
juice if you have it.”That is what an American will do.So when you go to the United
States,you’d better remember the famous saying:“When in Rome,do as the Romans
do.”
56.From this passage we can see that the writer is ________.
A.Chinese
B.Roman
C.American
D.European
57.When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the plate,the writer felt
________.
A.happy
B.sad
C.angry
D.uncomfortable
58.In the West,people consider it bad manners ________.
A.to refuse an offer
B.to keep asking someone to accept something
C.to eat much at a dinner party
D.to ask for something directly
59.A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by ________.
A.not eating up all the food offered
B.putting more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied it
C.refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty
D.asking for things directly if he wants them
60.“When in Rome,do as Romans do”means ________.
A.the Romans are people of good manners
B.Americans always do the same things as the Romans do
C.you should get used to the local(当地的)customs wherever you go
D.you should learn to do as Romans when in Rome
C
To protect the environment,most supermarkets in China will stop providing free
plastic bags.If you don’t want to pay money to buy them,you’ll have to bring
yore own shopping bag.What kind of bags will be the best to bring? Students in Kunming
Xinying Middle School have some good ideas.Recently fifty-four students of the
school held an activity in which they made their own environmentally-friendly
shopping bags.Most students used old clothes to make their bags.They painted
pictures like the Olympic rings on them.But Wang Shuncheng,a Junior 2 boy,chose
a different material(材料).He made his bag with old newspaper.Is a newspaper bag
strong enough to hold shopping? Wang says it is,“No problem.I put six bottles of
water in the bag,”he said.“It’s strong enough!”
Chen Lisi,a girl,had a more traditional way to make her bag—she wove(编织)
a bamboo bag.It was not an easy job.With her grandfather’s help.Chen spent a
whole afternoon making it.She also wove wool(毛线)flowers on the bag.
Making bags was not all the students did.They had another job:to persuade their
parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags instead of
plastic ones.The school will show the bags so that shops and stores can get some
ideas from the students’ work.
61.From the passage we know that ________.

D.to get their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping
bags

One possible version
Tan Qianqiu was born in 1957 in Hunan province. After graduating from Hunan
University, he taught politics in a middle school in Deyang city, Sichuan province,
He had taught there for 27 years. He looked serious and was very strict with his
students, but he loved them deeply.
When the Wenchuan earthquake happened, he was giving a lesson. At the moment
the school building collapsed, he protected his four students with his body. The
students were saved, but Mr Tan lost his life.
I am deeply moved by his deeds. Mr Tan was an ordinary teacher, but a great hero.
I will learn from him. I will study harder and be a person like him when I grow up.
