Ⅰ.阅读理解
Peter loved to shop used articles.Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them.As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Oh, look, the game box hasn't even been opened yet.That might be worth some money.”
Peter examined the box and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory sealed plastic.And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.
“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens,” the salesgirl said.
“Yes, you're right. People like something rare,” Peter agreed. “I can't imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”
“Don't forget to tell me if you sell it,” the salesgirl smiled.
“No problem,” Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game.But he couldn't find it.Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search.The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game.Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors.He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.
Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.
“Hello.Do you still remember the unopened word game?”
The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”
“I've got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made D|S1,000.Thank you for your suggestion.”He handed her three D|S100 bills.
“Wow!” the salesgirl cried out.“Thank you.I never expected it.”

It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.

As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.

With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.__3__
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.__4__
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction. __5__
A.I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
B.Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.

语篇解读:本文为一篇记叙文,主要讲述了彼得在一家旧货市场买了一个大约四十年前制造的字谜游戏盒,结果发现是值钱的东西,并在网上卖了高价。

A.It was made around 40 years ago.
B.It had game boards in different sizes.
C.It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal.
D.It had little pieces of wood in different colors.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.”以及第四段最后一句 “... around 40 years later.”可知,彼得的字谜游戏盒是大约40年前制造的。由第七段中“Over the years, the game ... using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors.”可知,是不同颜色的game boards,而非不同尺寸的,故排除B项;该游戏是盒装的,而不是袋装的,故排除C项;根据第一段中“used little pieces of wood with different letters on them”可知,小木片上写着不同的字母,而非小木片有不同的颜色,故排除D项。
2.What did the salesgirl probably think of Peter's word game
A.Old and handy.
B.Rare and valuable.
C.Classic and attractive.
D.Colorful and interesting.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“That might be worth some money.”以及第四段彼得的回答“Yes, you're right.People like something rare ...”可知,这个女售货员认为这个盒子是稀有而且值钱的。

B.The salesgirl became Peter's friend.
C.Peter returned the word game for D|S1,000.

4.What is the main theme of the story
A.It's important to keep a promise.
B.It's great to share in other people's happiness.
C.We should be grateful for the help from others.

解析:选B 主旨大意题。综观全文可知,本文主要讲了彼得在旧货市场淘来字谜游戏盒,卖了高价,并给了当初给他建议的女售货员300美元,且一起分享了他的快乐,故选B项。从最后女售货员的反应来看,她很意外,所以此处并不涉及“许诺”问题,故排除A项;女售货员给彼得的是建议(suggestion),而非帮助(help),故排除C项;D项太具体,非故事主题。
