Dear editor，
How are you I am Michael, a senior English teacher in Linchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jiangxi Province. This letter is written to ask for your opinion.
The other day, I met with a multiple choice exercise. The teachers argued heatedly with __1__ we met. Unfortunately, neither side could convince the other after a fairly longtime argument. There is no doubt __2__ the reference answer C is correct. But I don't think __3__ it is the only answer to this sentence. Personally, I do think A is also a reasonable choice.
What puzzles me is __4__ we should deal with so many multiple choice exercises. But being a teacher, you know, it's very important and necessary to make it clear to students which answer is correct, __5__ is more proper, and which is the best one since they keep asking why and why. I can think of many cases __6__ students obviously know a lot of English words and expressions but can't write a good essay or express themselves freely.
In my personal opinion, what I think is __7__ multiple choice test with more than 75 percent of the total scores in college entrance examination is not a very good and effective testing method. Instead, more subjective testing forms can depend on __8__ he or she really knows or not. I don't know __9__ more subjective testing forms will come up in NMET. Do you think so
I am looking forward to your authoritative opinion. And if you can tell me __10__ we can improve our English both in papers and abilities, I will be very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely，
Michael Liao
答案　1.what　2.that　3.that　4.why　5.which　6.where　7.that　8.whether　9.when　10.how
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Hobbs was an orphan (孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do—painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle's will (遗嘱)，” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “Yes, I see. I'll do that，” said the young man.

A. study abroad

答案与解析　D　根据第一段最后一句可知答案为D项。
2．What does the underlined word “dumbfounded” (in Paragraph 2) probably mean
A. Surprised. B. Frightened.
C. Satisfied. D. Excited.
答案与解析　A　突然有一天， Hobbs收到一笔钱，他自然感到吃惊。而D项干扰性较强。dumbfounded意为“目瞪口呆的”。
3．With the money he got, at first Hobbs ________.
A. planned to have a happy life for a few days
B. decided to give up his work in the factory
C. was to give a dinner to his friends
D. had no idea what to do
答案与解析　D　第二段画线单词后面一句话：“他不知道钱是从哪来的，也不知道怎样花掉它。”以及后文内容可知D项正确。

B. read his uncle's will

What happens to old school buses when they can no longer safely carry kids to school Most go to waste factories to be changed into pieces of metal. But_a_few_of_the_old_vehicles_(车辆)_find_new_lives_in_the_center_of_Africa. Most of those buses end up on the streets of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Kinshasa buses are that yellow colour, which makes them stand out (突出) in the city's heavy traffic, but the buses don't look at all as they did in the United States. In Kinshasa their taillights (尾灯) are almost all missing or broken. They don't obey traffic rules and often race around the city very fast. The buses compete with motorcycles，cars，trucks，and other vehicles for space on the road. They make loud sounds when moving，and they are packed with people carrying loads of goods, such as fish, milk, beans and onions.
However, Kinshasa business people love the old, yellow buses, which they buy from American companies, because the vehicles are strong, reliable (可依靠的) and inexpensive. A used bus sells for about $2, 000 in Congo. A new bus is more expensive. In the United States, a new school bus with all its lights working costs about $80,000.
The fare (票价) to travel across the city is usually about 30 US cents. “Transport is a big problem in Kinshasa，”says passenger Bruce Kingambo. “But the yellow buses help people here get around.”
5．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means “In the center of Africa some old US school buses can be ________.”
A. useful B. expensive
C. free D. new
答案与解析　A　根据文章内容可知，已被报废的美国校车在Kinshasa却被用做很重要的交通工具。故选A项。
6．Before the school buses leave America for Congo, they ________.
A. have broken taillights
B. don't obey the traffic rules and move at a full speed
C. carry many people and goods
D. don't compete with other vehicles
答案与解析　D　根据文章的第二段第一句可知，美国的公共汽车不同于Kinshasa的公共汽车。接下来的几句话描述的是Kinshasa的公共汽车，其中包括车灯大多是坏的，不遵守交通规则，和其他车辆抢道，承载很多人和货物；只有选项D与之不相符，因此可推断这是校车在美国时的状况。故选D项。
7．How many used buses can you buy in Congo for the price of a completely new school bus in the US
A. 10. B. 20.
C. 30. D. 40.
答案与解析　D　由文章倒数第二段可知，一辆旧的公共汽车在刚果价值2000美元，而在美国一辆全新的校车价值80000美元，所以用80000美元可以在刚果买40辆旧公共汽车。
8．What's the main idea of the third and the fourth paragraphs
A. The old, yellow school buses have many advantages.
B. All Kinshasa people love the old school buses.
C. It's convenient to get around Kinshasa on the old buses.
D. New buses are too expensive for Kinshasa people.
答案与解析　A　本文结构比较明确，第一段总述美国的报废旧校车在Kinshasa可以继续使用；第二段说明这些车的缺点；第三、四段说明这些车的优点。B项说法过于绝对；C、D两项是相关细节不是主旨。
