10．The airliner doesn't go ________ to America. It goes by way of Japan.
A. directly B. direct
C. direction D. immediately
答案与解析 B 句意：班机不直达美国，而取道日本。direct和directly都有“直接地”的意思，但direct用于具体意义“不间断；不拐弯；不转向”； directly多用于抽象意义“直接地”。例如：The measure doesn't affect me directly. “此举措对我无直接影响”。directly还有“立即；马上”等意思。例如：You should go to him directly.“你应该马上到他那儿去”。You should go direct to him.“你应该直接到他那儿去”。故选B项。

9．A 此处表示“我每天检查摄像机，并仔细地留心任何有害的昆虫……”，watch for“留心”，符合题意。
10．C 第一段中说把一根树枝架在摄影棚里，故推断不应该有大的东西进入，所以可能是昆虫或疾病。
11．B 从常识可推知果树先开花，花落之后开始结果，故应选dropped。
12．A take shape为动词短语，意为“成形”。
13．C 句意为“直到摄影棚外头的苹果开始变红时，一切都进展顺利”。
14．C 结合下句可知外面的苹果红了，而里面仍然是绿的。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
One evening I was on my daily evening return from London to my home. I had got into the habit of sitting in the last carriage at the platform, so I could get off near to the station exit at my end. One evening before getting off the train, I found a purse. I opened the purse and thought this must be my lucky day, for the purse contained some ￡80 in cash. Looking further into the purse, I found credit cards, and house keys and a name and address. My first thought when seeing the cash was to pocket it, and throw the other contents away.
Now I am not a basically dishonest person, but had developed a hardened attitude over the years that most people were dishonest in some way, and my own personal experience had been that whenever I lost anything of value, that was the last I ever saw of it. And since I was a construction worker at that time, I had been the victim of a great deal of stealing during my working life.
Almost as I read the name and address, I had a picture of that woman being struck with terror, when she realized she had lost her purse, and could not get into her home, had no money, and, would have thoughts of someone spending on her credit cards, not to mention the trouble of canceling all the cards.
In that same moment I decided to hand the purse over to the train guard. So I told him I would like to see it returned to its rightful owner. He told me it would be sent to the lost property office. I arrived at my station and started to walk the five minute journey to my home all the while feeling very pleased with myself that I was going to bring a great deal of happiness to someone I did not know.
1．The author liked to sit in the last carriage because ________.
A. sitting in the last carriage was safer
B. he was always almost late for his train
C. he could get out of the station sooner after getting off
D. he likes chatting with the train guards there
答案与解析 C 根据第一段的“... so I could get off near to the station exit at my end”可知作者下车后能够更快地出站，所以C项正确。
2．What can we know from the Paragraph 2?
A. The author thinks he is a dishonest person in nature.
B. The author thinks not all the people are honest all the time.
C. The author often lost things in the past.
D. The author always got his lost things of great value back.
答案与解析 B 根据本段可知，作者认为“在某些方面，多数人也是不诚实的”，所以B项所述与之相吻合。
3．Which of the following in the purse attracted the author most?
A. The cash.
B. The house keys.
C. Credit cards.
D. The name and address of the owner.
答案与解析 A 根据第二段，可知作者发现捡到的钱包里有现金时，认为自己那天很幸运，并且打算扔掉其他的所有物品，把现金占为己有。所以根据这些不难推断出最使作者动心的就是钱包里的“现金”，故选A。
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The owner of the purse is one friend of the author's.
B. The author often did some stealing during his work time in the past.
C. The author's feeling guilty at heart urged him to return the purse.
D. The author's house is near the station.
答案与解析 D 根据最后一段第四句“I arrived at my station and started to walk the five minute journey to my home”可知终点站离作者的家只有五分钟的距离，即二者相距并不远，所以D项正确；根据文章最后一句可知钱包的失主并非是作者的朋友，所以A项表述错误；B项所述是对第三段最后一句的误解；根据倒数第二段可知是作者内心的“善良”而不是他的“负罪感”促使他归还所捡到的钱包，所以C项表述错误。
5．How did the author deal with the purse at last?
A. He took it to the lost property office.
B. He put it into his pocket and took it home.
C. He took it to the home of the owner in person.
D. He handed it over to a train guard.
答案与解析 D 根据最后一段的第一、三两句可知作者把钱包交给了乘警，然后乘警再把钱包送到失物招领处，所以D项为正确答案。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
What is America's number one sport? Can I still say baseball? You could make that statement 30 years ago, but things have changed. Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports. But with the popularity of basketball and American football, there can now be an argument on which sport is American's number one sport.
Basketball really took a turn in the 1980's as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level. Of course, basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr. J, but the real breakthrough (突破) came in the 1980's and from there it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 90's. Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition. Today, they had better be ready because there are so many talents in other countries and the competition will be stiff.
Like basketball, American football has always been a favorite of many sports fans and its popularity has grown widely. The ratings (收视率) that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing. They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.
In the year 2050, basketball and American football will have history like baseball's rich history and maybe American national sport. They have been trying for years, but it is not going to happen.
So what is American's number one sport? To me baseball will always be Americans' hobby — rich in history and many memories for people of all ages. If you have any comments on this subject, do give your opinions.
1．The most powerful basketball player in l980's is ________.
A. Larry Bird B. Michael Jordan
C. Jerry West D. Magic Johnson
答案与解析 B 从第二段第二句中“it really took off with Michael Jordan”可知，B项正确。
2．This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. baseball and its history
B. the most popular sport in the world
C. which sport is the number one in America
D. whether basketball is a global sport pastime
答案与解析 C 文章开头提出问题“What is America's number one sport？”后文一直围绕此话题展开讨论。C项正确。
3．The author agrees that American football ________.
A. will have rich history
B. is world's most popular sport
C. has its breakthrough in the 1980's
D. will have the richest history by 2050
答案与解析 A 从倒数第二段可知，作者认为篮球和美式足球都会变得富有历史。A项正确。
4．What does the underlined word “stiff” mean in Paragraph Two?
A. Safe. B. Hard.
C. Crazy. D. Strong.
答案与解析 B 由该词所在句可知，外国也有许多有才能的竞争者，所以竞争变得“hard”。B项正确。
B
We are not very crazy about television at the Daily Apple.
We'd like to agree with the recent report comparing the difference between a TV and a computer: when you use one you turn your brain on, with the other you turn it off.
Your brain may not be the only thing the TV turns off.
It seems that men who watch a lot of TV are more sedentary (久坐不动), eat more food and are generally much fatter.
Similar results have been found for women.
Experts think that watching TV means that not only are you sedentary，but you have to watch food advertisements inducing (引诱) you to eat more.
The food that you are being induced to eat may not be good enough for your health.
If you are a_couch_potato,_here are some suggestions.
?Tape a piece of paper to the back of your remote control (遥控器) or TV Guide, and every time you watch a show, note how long you sit there and what you eat.
?Review the record after a week. This can be a shock.
