The Truth Can Set You Free
I recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadn’t been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.
“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.
“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”
“No, I’m not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to re-register yet.
“So what brings you here?”
He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “Since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”
“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”
He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.
“Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors（肿瘤） are on the inside.” And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.
He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.”
The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes (眉目传情) and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.
4.The author was stopped by the police officer because .
A. he didn’t have a license B. he forgot to re-register
C. he was seriously ill D.he drove too fast
5.The author moved to Virginia probably because .
A. he was homesick
B. he served in the army there
C. Virginia had better hospitals
D. his family could be better cared for
6.On hearing about the author’s cancer, the police officer .
A. said it was an excuse
B. doubted his honesty

D. asked him to show his scars

Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle's nest with four large eagle eggs. One day 1 earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm 2 （locate） in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to
care for the eagle's egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture（哺育） and raise the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 3 , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 4 a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out 5 more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. “Oh,” the eagle cried，“I wish I could soar like those birds.”
The chickens roared with 6 （laugh）,“You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 7 （dream） that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams 8 （know）, he was told it couldn't be done. That is 9 the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after some time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow 10 dreams but not the words of a chicken.

答案：
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A语篇导读：本文是从字典上摘下来的一段关于“figure”用法的英文解释。
1.C细节理解题。文章中figure of speech条的英语注释是: a word or phrase used in a different way from its usual meanings in order to create a particular mental image or effect，即修辞手法。
2.B推理判断题。文章最后的［IDM］ It/That figures! (informal): That seems reasonable, logical and what I expect.的意思是：that/it figures（习惯用法）似乎合理的，符合逻辑的也是我所料到的事情。从后面的答语That’s typical of her(这是她的一贯做法)，可以看出B项符合题意。
3.C推理判断题。词条7：the human shape, considered from the point of view of being attractively thin: doing exercise to improve one’s figure 可知figure 有“身材，体形”之意，watch one’ figure 意为“注意身材（不变形）”，因此，C项符合题意。
