Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 36.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 37 we realized we were 38. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so 39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 42 I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 44 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 46 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 47 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 48 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so 49 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 50 of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this 51. Maybe I was a fool for 52 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 53 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 54 up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Last year we visited Stratford, the place where Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564.
Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the center of England. The countryside around Stratford is pleasant, with its beautiful woods, green fields and quiet rivers.
The first place we visited was the house in the center of Stratford where Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants that Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.
After we had visited Shakespeare’s birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.
We had lunch in a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare’s time. Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare’s plays on the door—the “Hamlet” room, the “Romeo and Juliet” room, and so on.
After lunch we walked across the fields to the old cottage, about a mile out of Stratford, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The cottage is just as it was in Shakespeare’s day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.
When we got back to our hotel that evening, we were tired, but we had enjoyed a wonderful day.
56. Stratford is ______.
A. a church B. in the middle of England
C. a very large city D. a small village
57. Shakespeare was born and buried ______.
A. in the room where he wrote his plays
B. in the house in the center of Stratford
C. in the cottage about a mile out of Stratford
D. in two different places
58. Most of Shakespeare’s married life was spent ______.
A. in a cottage
B. in an old hotel
C. writing new plays and growing flowers
D. meeting friends and thinking about ideas for new plays
B
Larry Santon doesn’t mind driving more than 6 hours from Ohio, America to Stratford in Ontario, Canada to attend the Stratford Festival. The festival is in North America’s largest Shakespearean theater.
Last year, 36 percent of the audience at the summer Stratford Festival came from the States. They, like Santon, were drawn by the high quality Shakespeare productions. In Santon’s words: “Productions at Stratford are larger, they are more expensive; they have more costumes, more actors, and more of everything you ask of a play.” He has tickets for 8 plays for this summer, starting with Shakespeare’s Henry IV.
The festival was founded in 1952 by Tom Patterson, who had dreamed of setting up a theater festival devoted to Shakespeare’s works. The place chosen for the festival bears the name of the playwright’s hometown in England. Patterson’s idea won the support of British actors and directors. A number of famous Shakespearean actors have proudly staged their performance in this small Ontario town.
To the growing population of American audiences, the first attraction of Stratford is for sure Shakespeare and his classical plays. Yet the town becomes a magnet for summer tourists largely because of its second attraction — the town itself. “Stratford is not just a theater during the festival; it is an experience; its beautiful places like the river and the forest are just what holiday makers need to relax in,” said Mr Macknin from Ann Arbor with a copy of Midsummer Night’s Dream in his hand.
59. Which of the following can best describe this article?
A. It is a newspaper report on the summer Stratford Festival.
B. It is a radio program on why Canadians love Shakespeare.
C. It is a tourist guide telling Americans how to enjoy plays.
D. It is a talk on how Shakespeare produced his plays.
60. Midsummer Night’s Dream in the last paragraph CANNOT be ______.
A. the program for the Stratford Festival
B. the name of a video tape
C. a Shakespearean play
D. a special drink sold in Stratford
61. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. You can see at least 8 plays in the Stratford Festival this summer.
B. Tom Patterson wanted the Stratford Festival to take place in England.
C. Mr Macknin has never been to the Stratford Festival.
D. Americans enjoy plays by the river and the forest during the Stratford Festival.
62. The underlined word “magnet (in the last paragraph)” means “______”.
A. a place which can attract tourists
B. a piece of iron which can draw other objects towards it
C. a theater where Shakespeare’s plays are performed
D. an experience which tourists enjoy in Stratford
C
If you prefer doughnuts（炸面饼） to dumbbells(哑铃), you have a high chance of developing diabetes(糖尿病) later in life. But if you wash down those doughnuts with at least seven cups of coffee a day, you are only half as likely as that.
The finding is “quite surprising and fairly dramatic”, says Bill Hartnett of UK Diabetes, although the patients’ group won’t be advising people to drink lots of coffee just yet. While there’s little evidence that one or two cups a day is harmful, some studies suggest that heavy coffee drinkers are unusually sensitive to pain, easier to fearful disorders and can also have higher blood pressure, which increase the risk of heart disease.
The study was done by Rob van Dam’s team at the National Institute for Public Health and Environment in the Netherlands, which analysed the data on 171,111 men and women. The team found that those who drank seven or more cups of coffee a day were 50 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who drank two cups of coffee or fewer a day. This was despite the fact that the heavy coffee drinkers tended to have sedentary (惯于久坐的) lifestyles, which increases the risk of developing diabetes.
“It’s too early to get excited,” warns Edwin Gale, a diabetes specialist in Britain at the University of Bristol. “It may just be that coffee drinkers behave differently,” he says.
Type 2 diabetes used to appear mainly in older people, but as levels of obesity (being fat) have increased in children, so has the disease in common. It’s a serious disorder—high blood sugar levels damage many organs, and can lead to anything from blindness to kidney(肾) failure.
It usually occurs when the body becomes less sensitive to insulin(胰岛素), the hormone that tells cells to take in too much blood glucose. Caffeine isn’t an obvious remedy (补救法) for type 2 diabetes, because its immediate effect is to lower sensitivity to insulin.
63. The main idea of the passage is that ______.
A. coffee is likely to prevent diabetes
B. the way we prevent diabetes
C. old people may develop diabetes
D. dumbbells can keep out of diabetes
64. From the second paragraph, we can probably get the idea that ______.
A. Bill Hartnett can explain the finding
B. one or two coffees a day is harmful
C. heavy coffee drinkers are not sensitive to pain
D. heavy coffee drinkers may have higher blood pressure
65. Edwin Gale’s opinion ______.
A. agrees with that of Rob van Dam
B. suggests coffee drinkers obey some regulations
C. shows the study may be beyond the fact
D. tells coffee drinkers to visit doctors
66. ______ is the root of diabetes according to the passage.
A. The hormone insulin B. Doughnuts
C. High blood sugar D. The level of obesity
67. According to the passage, which statement below is TRUE?
A. Caffeine is a drug to cure diabetes.
B. People who are always sitting have higher risk of developing diabetes.
C. Insulin is an element to cure diabetes.
D. Heavy coffee drinkers have the risk of developing diabetes.
D
Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet
Explanation of Contents
This is the fourth edition of these pages. It is hard to believe, but once again they are new and improved. My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies, and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet. The spirit of altruism (利他主义) that originally built the Internet is not quite gone, though, sadly, through the pressure of time and profit has lessened.
A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline, which is an online biography mounted at this site. The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are:
·It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits;
·It is impossible by simply reading an abstract to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher.
Another change in these pages over previous editions is the “What’s News” page. If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic (学究的), I will have realized my goal.
An Apology
I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages. We are all too busy. I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish. But I love the material and so have, at long last, made some time to update them.
A Reminder to Young Students
These pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet. As a reminder, I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages. If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web, this page is a great starting point, and I keep it as current as I can. The web is in its infancy in bringing good, scholarly content to students. Don’t forget the best, if not quickest, resources are still in your library.
68. The passage is written to ______.
A. introduce the fourth edition of these pages
B. make an apology to readers
C. show off these pages to readers
D. let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages
69. Which of the following is the new addition to the pages?
A. The writer’s apology.
B. Search Engines.
C. A Shakespeare Timeline.
D. Receiving readers’ e-mails.
70. When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines, you ______.
A. will waste some time in finding what you want
B. can easily recognize what the abstract means
C. will often come into the “What’s News” pages
D. will find something special on your computers
71. Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph?
A. The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages.
B. The writer of the passage is very selfish.
C. The web was just created four years ago.
D. Shakespeare researchers should first of all refer to these pages.
E
Around you is a strange and wonderful world that you cannot see. Billions and billions of things live in this unseen world; many many more things live in the world you can’t see. These tiny living things are in the water you drink and in the food you eat. They are in the air you breathe and in the ground under your feet. Microbes are almost everywhere in great numbers.
The word “microbe” means “small life”. And the world of microbes is so small that it cannot be seen by human eyes alone. A million microbes might rest on the tip of your pencil and you wouldn’t know they were there. How then can you know that there really is a crowded microbe world? How can you know there are microbes at all?
You can know there are microbes because you can see them with the help of a microscope. The word “microscope” means “watcher of the small”. The microscope is truly a “watcher of the small”. It makes invisible things appear large enough for you to see them. Without the microscope and the work of one important man, the world of microbes might still not be known. This man wondered about many things and set out to learn more about them. He was not a true scientist. He had not been trained in school to be a scientist. Still, he worked as a scientist in his free time. He observed many things carefully, did experiments, and kept good records. His name was Anton Van Leeuwenhoek.
Mr Van Leeuwenhoek must have said to himself, “How can I see these small things better so that I can examine them more carefully?”
In his day, there were some simple, roughly made microscopes. But Mr Van Leeuwenhoek didn’t think they were good enough. So he set out to make a microscope of his own. He experimented until he could build a microscope that made things appear about three hundred times larger than they really were. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek had made the best microscope yet!
72. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. besides the world we live in there is another world
B. microbes exist in the unseen world
C. the water, the food, the air and the ground under our feet make up the unseen world
D. the number of microbes amounts to many billions
73. The microbe world is ______.
A. a strange world
B. hard for scientists to find
C. a crowded world
D. as small as the tip of your pencil
74. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was a ______.
A. part-time scientist
B. watcher of the small things
C. person trained to be a scientist
D. scientist
75. Mr Anton Van Leeuwenhoek set out to make a better microscope so that ______.
A. he could do careful experiments on the small things
B. he could keep good records
C. he was able to make closer examinations of the small things
D. he was able to see the strange and wonderful world

I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr Jordan. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn’t meet with him. I had to put our interview off. Then, when I felt better I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours, but he was busy. The secretary said that Mr Jordan would call me back, but he didn’t. I gave up trying to do a new interview because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr Jordan, and I called him out. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message, which said that Mr Jordan had suddenly gone out of town on some unexpected business, I was sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco.

考点精讲 考例回顾

3. You wanted justice, so you shall get justice, more than you wanted. （Reading）
The law of Venice says that if anyone tries to kill or murder any citizen of Venice, everything that he owns shall be taken away from him. （Reading）

课文重难点解析
1. If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. (Reading)
注意倍数的表达法。表示“甲是乙的几倍大（高、长、宽等）”时，可用以下句型：
1) A is three (four, etc.) times the +n. (如size, height, length, width, weight, etc.) of B.
The new building is four times the size of the old one.
这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大。
2) A is three (four, etc.) times as +adj. 原级(如large, high, long, wide, etc.) as B.
The new building is four times as large as the old one.
3) A is three (four, etc.) times +adj.比较级 (如larger, higher, longer, wider, heavier, etc.) than B.
The new building is three times larger than the old one.
注意： 用times表示倍数，一般只限于表示包括基数在内的三倍或三倍以上的数。表示两倍可以用twice或double。例如：
This room is twice the size of that one.或This room is twice as large as that one.
这个房间是那个房间的两倍大。
Our total income of 1994 was double that of 1992.
我们1994年的总收入是1992年的两倍。
