A
The
trouble
started
at
9:30
p.m.
last
New
Year’s
Eve,
in
Newmark.
When
the
fire
engines
(消防车)
arrived
at
the
fire,
a
very
old
woman
was
sitting
in
a
third
floor
window.
The
firefighters
placed
a
ladder
(梯子)
against
the
wooden
house,
and
26-year-old
Marcus
Reddick
climbed
35
feet
to
the
third
floor.
The
woman,
60
years
old
and
very
fat,
was
sitting
with
both
feet
out
of
the
window.
When
Marcus
reached
the
top
of
the
ladder,
the
woman,
afraid
and
nervous,
put
her
two
legs
around
him.
Suddenly
Marcus
fell
backwards
off
the
ladder,
with
the
large
woman
sitting
on
him.
Marcus
landed
first
—
hitting
a
wall
beside
the
front
stairs
—
and
broke
the
woman’s
fall.
She
fell
no
more,
but
he
fell
another
ten
feet
down
the
stairs.
When
the
fire
officer
reached
him,
Marcus
was
unconscious.
Within
an
hour,
a
doctor
told
the
men
that
Marcus
was
nearly
brain
dead,
and
would
only
get
worse.
Doctors
talked
of
turning
off
the
life-saving
machine
and
asked
if
the
family
would
like
to
give
away
his
heart.
The
answer
was
“yes”.
On
January
6,
firefighters
lifted
Marcus’
coffin
(棺材)
—
covered
with
an
American
flag
—
onto
a
yellow
fire
engine.
Hundreds
of
firefighters
from
all
over
the
state
joined
the
procession
(行列)
through
Newmark
streets.
Children
watched
silently
from
school
windows.
The
day
Marcus
died,
his
heart
was
given
away
to
a
young
girl.
His
family
said
that
it
was
the
second
life
Marcus
had
saved.

B
Two
hundred
years
ago,
American
students
went
to
American
schools.
Like
you,
they
studied
math,
spelling
and
geography.
Unlike
you,
they
also
studied
Greek
(希腊语)
and
Latin
(拉丁语).
In
fact,
students
spent
more
than
half
their
time
studying
Greek
and
Latin.
The
same
was
true
for
most
students
in
Europe.
Until
the
seventh
century,
all
educated
Europeans
knew
Latin.
It
did
not
matter
if
they
lived
in
England,
Italy,
France
or
Spain.
If
they
were
educated,
they
knew
Latin.
During
the
seventh
century,
educated
Europeans
began
to
study
Greek
as
well
as
Latin.
Greek
and
Latin
had
been
the
leading
languages
of
the
ancient
Greeks
and
Romans.
All
educated
Europeans
were
expected
to
know
these
languages.
To
educated
Europeans,
the
languages
of
the
Greeks
and
the
Romans
were
important.
The
ideas
of
the
Greeks
and
Romans
were
also
important.
People
knew
that
many
of
their
own
ideas
had
come
from
the
Greeks
and
the
Romans.
To
understand
their
own
culture,
they
must
understand
its
origin
(起源).
They
knew
that
those
beginnings
lay
in
the
classical
(古典文学的)
world.
Today
we
have
so
many
things
to
study
that
few
people
have
time
to
learn
Greek
and
Latin.
Few
of
you
will
study
either
language
in
school.
Yet
the
ideas
of
the
Greeks
and
the
Romans
are
still
important
to
us.
These
ideas
still
help
to
shape
Western
culture
today.
To
understand
our
own
culture,
we
must
understand
the
culture
of
the
classical
world.
25.
Two
hundred
years
ago,
in
American
schools
_____.
A.
there
were
many
educated
Greeks
B.
Greek
and
Latin
were
very
popular
C.
students
paid
little
attention
to
math
D.
students
knew
little
about
geography
26.
According
to
the
text,
Europeans
thought
_____.
A.
the
origin
of
their
culture
was
unknown
B.
the
ideas
of
the
Greeks
were
unacceptable
C.
Greek
was
much
more
important
than
Latin
D.
the
Romans
had
a
great
influence
on
their
culture
27.
Where
does
the
author
of
the
text
probably
come
from
A.
Japan.
B.
Greece.
C.
America.
D.
China.
28.
In
the
last
paragraph,
the
author
suggests
that
_____.
A.
it’s
of
great
value
to
learn
Greek
and
Latin
B.
it’s
quite
difficult
to
learn
Greek
and
Latin
C.
the
culture
of
the
classical
world
is
useless
nowadays
D.
Western
culture
is
quite
different
from
Greek
and
Roman
cultures
C
In
the
autumn
of
1924
Thomas
Wolfe,
fresh
from
his
courses
in
playwriting
at
Harvard
University,
joined
us
who
were
teaching
English
composition
at
New
York
University.
I
had
never
seen
a
man
so
tall
as
he,
and
so
ugly.
I
pitied
him
and
went
out
of
my
way
to
help
him
with
his
work
and
make
him
feel
at
home.
His
students
soon
let
me
know
that
he
had
no
need
of
my
protectiveness.
They
spoke
of
his
ability
to
explain
a
poem
in
such
a
way
as
to
have
them
in
fits
of
laughter.
Besides,
his
students
made
so
much
of
his
powers
of
observation
(观察力)
that
I
decided
to
make
a
little
test
and
see
for
myself.
My
chance
came
one
morning
when
the
students
were
slowly
gathering
(集合)
for
nine
o’clock
classes.
Upon
arriving
at
the
university
that
day,
I
found
Wolfe
alone
in
the
large
room
which
served
all
the
English
composition
teachers
as
an
office.
He
did
not
say
anything
when
I
asked
him
to
come
with
me
out
into
the
hall,
and
he
only
smiled
when
we
reached
a
classroom
door
and
I
told
him
to
enter
alone
and
look
around.
He
stepped
in,
remained
no
more
than
thirty
seconds
and
then
came
out.
“Tell
me
what
you
see,”
I
said
as
I
took
his
place
in
the
room,
leaving
him
in
the
hall
with
his
back
to
the
door.
Without
any
mistakes,
he
gave
the
number
of
seats
in
the
room,
pointed
out
those
which
were
taken
by
boys
and
those
taken
by
girls,
and
pointed
out
the
words
written
on
the
blackboard.
As
I
rejoined
Wolfe,
I
was
totally
speechless.
He,
however,
was
very
calm
as
he
said,
“The
worst
thing
about
it
is
that
I’ll
remember
it
all.”
29.
Why
did
Wolfe
come
to
join
the
author
A.
To
get
some
experience.
B.
To
offer
him
some
help.
C.
To
learn
to
write
plays.
D.
To
make
more
friends.
30.

of
the
following
is
TRUE
of
the
test
A.
It
took
place
on
an
autumn
evening
in
1924.
B.
It
was
a
test
made
for
Wolfe
on
his
honesty.
C.
Wolfe
did
not
feel
angry
when
he
was
tested.
D.
Wolfe’s
students
showed
no
interest
in
the
test.

Matt
Froggatt
used
to
be
an
insurance
agent
(保险代理人)
in
the
City
of
London
but
now
runs
a
sheep
farm.“After
14
years
in
business,
I
found
that
the
City
had
gone
from
a
place
which
was
exciting
to
work
in
to
a
grind
—
no
one
was
having
fun
any
more.
My
break
came
when
I
got
to
know
the
manager
of
a
hotel
with
one
of
the
top
20
hotel
restaurants
in
the
country.
Through
supplying
them,
my
reputation
(名声)
spread
and
now
I
also
supply
meat
through
mail
order.”
Ron
Ablewhite
was
a
manager
in
advertising
but
now
makes
a
living
as
a
painter.“My
painting
began
as
a
hobby
but
I
realised
I
was
getting
far
more
excitement
out
of
it
than
out
of
working.
Most
people
in
their
mid-forties
need
to
get
back
to
work
immediately
—
they
need
the
money.
But
we
had
married
young
and
our
children
didn’t
need
our
support.
We
went
to
the
north
of
England,
and
many
of
our
friends
come
up
and
visit
us
now.”
Katherine
Goodison
has
set
up
her
own
business
in
her
London
flat
making
hats.“My
first
job
as
a
lawyer
(律师)
was
fun,
but
the
hours
were
terrible.
Then
I
left.
A
lot
of
people
said
I’d
get
bored,
but
that
has
never
happened.
I
feel
happier
now.
What
I
love
about
this
job
is
that
I
know
what
I
want
and
I
can
make
decisions
on
my
own.”
Paul
Drinkwater
worked
in
finance
(金融)
for
16
years
before
working
at
the
Life
Centre
in
London.“I
had
been
in
financial
markets
from
the
age
of
22,
but
I
found
the
work
boring.
In
1989
I
gave
up
the
job
and
travelled
for
a
year.
I
was
interested
in
health,
so
I
visited
some
of
the
world’s
best
gymnasiums.
Then
I
was
offered
part-time
work
at
the
Life
Centre
and
I
learned
quickly.
I
never
used
to
feel
in
control,
but
now
I
have
peace
of
mind
and
control
of
my
own
life.”

There
is
no
one
quite
like
Stephen
Wiltshire.
Born
in
1974,
Stephen
was
always
different.
36
In
fact,
he
talked
to
nobody,
showed
no
interest
in
school
subjects
and
wasn’t
able
to
sit
still.
Stephen
was
later
told
that
he
had
autism
(自闭症).
He
didn’t
learn
fully
to
talk
until
he
was
nine
years
old
and
he
didn’t
manage
to
pass
his
exams.
37
Art
became
his
way
to
communicate.
He
started
by
drawing
funny
pictures
of
his
teachers,
but
soon
began
to
draw
buildings.
His
eye
for
detail
(细节)
was
perfect.
He
could
see
a
building
just
once
and
remember
everything
about
it.
38
Hours
later,
in
front
of
TV
cameras,
he
managed
to
draw
this
building,
with
the
time
on
the
station
clock
saying
11:20,
the
exact
time
when
he
was
there.
The
television
programme
made
him
famous
overnight
in
the
UK.
39
He
has
become
a
well-known
artist,
published
(出版)
four
books
of
his
drawings,
taken
helicopter
(直升飞机)
rides
above
the
world’s
great
cities
and
drawn
amazing
pictures
of
them,
and
opened
his
own
art
gallery
(画廊),
where
he
now
works,
in
London.
His
drawings
are
correct
and
true
in
every
detail
—
he
always
manages
to
draw
everything
in
the
right
place.
40
In
2006,
he
was
given
an
MBE
(Member
of
the
Order
of
the
British
Empire)
by
the
Queen
of
England
for
services
to
art.
A.
Floating
Cities
was
his
third
book.
B.
As
a
child,
he
couldn’t
make
friends.
C.
Besides,
they
are
also
beautiful
to
look
at.
D.
Luckily,
he
found
one
thing
he
liked
doing:
drawing.
E.
After
that,
many
great
things
have
happened
to
Stephen.
F.
In
1987,
he
saw
a
train
station
in
London
called
St
Pancras.
G.
On
15
February
2008,

英语知识运用
（共两节，满分45分）
第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
In
China,
it
is
quite
usual
to
ask
people
about
their
age.
However,
this
question
is
often
regarded
as
41
in
the
West.
This
is
quite
true
of
42
,
and
even
more
so
if
the
inquirer
(询问者)
is
a
man.
However,
it
is
very
43
to
ask
children
about
their
age.
Since
it
is
not
a
secret
for
them,
they
don’t
44
at
all.
In
fact,
some
45
people
are
quite
happy
to
talk
about
their
age,
46
if
they
feel
they
look
young
for
their
age.
However,
it
is
not
very
47
to
ask
a
direct
question
like
“How
old
are
you ”
48
elderly
people
want
to
talk
about
their
age,
and
perhaps
receive
49
on
how
young
they
look,
they
may
easily
bring
up
the
topic
(话题)
by
50
and
ask
the
other
to
51
how
old
they
are.
In
such
a
52
,
it
is
quite
acceptable
to
discuss
age
53
.
They
normally
expect
to
be
complimented
(恭维)
on
their
youthfulness
rather
than
to
be
54
that
they
look
very
old.
Even
though
55
do
not
usually
ask
people
directly
how
old
they
are,
this
does
not
56
that
they
are
not
interested
to
know
how
old
other
people
are.
They
may
ask
someone
else
for
the
57
,
or
they
may
try
to
bring
up
the
topic
58
,
sometimes
discussions
about
educational
background
and
the
number
of
years
of
working
59
may
provide
some
clues
(线索).
Of
course,
not
everyone
60
that,
so
they
ask
little
about
age.

选做题
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Jim
Knight,
a
schools
minister
(部长)
from
England,
said
that
he
“must
try
harder”
after
spelling
mistakes
were
discovered
on
his
website.
Among
the
misspelled
words
were
foce
(force),
similiar
(similar),
and
acheiving
(achieving)
etc.
Some
authors
have
called
one
of
the
mistakes
a
schoolboy
howler
and
told
him
he
“could
do
better”.
Mr.
Knight
said,
“When
I
do
my
blog
(博客)
I’m
usually
doing
it
in
a
hurry
on
my
phone
and
sometimes
I
forget
the
basic
rule
of
checking
my
work.
Clearly
I
must
try
harder.”
He
was
generally
a
good
speller
but
often
had
problems
while
spelling
words
with
two
c’s
together,
such
as
occurrence.
“As
schools
minister,
it’s
important
that
I
set
an
example
and
live
up
to
the
education
I
had,”
added
Mr.
Knight,
who
studied
at
Cambridge
University.
He
said
the
public
picking
him
up
on
the
mistakes
had
been
a
“helpful
reminder
(提醒)”.
Richard
Drax,
one
of
his
friends,
said,
“It’s
so
easy
to
have
a
go
especially
as
there
is
a
jokey
side
to
this.
As
schools
minister
he
should
be
setting
an
example
across
the
country.
Maybe
he
should
try
to
find
another
job
which
is
not
so
demanding
(苛求的)
on
his
spelling.”
Another
author
Minette
Walters
said
she
didn’t
want
to
be
picky
about
the
mistakes.
She
said,
“He
is
a
nice
man
who
works
very
hard
and
does
his
best
for
everyone.
But
the
school
report
on
this
would
be
that
he
could
do
better.
I’m
not
sure
the
spell
check
has
helped
much
here.”
Author
and
historian
Stuart
Morris
said,
“On
one
level
the
message
he
is
sending
out
is
more
important.
But
I
think
it
is
right
for
anybody
in
a
position
of
authority
(权威)
to
make
an
effort
to
get
their
basic
spelling
and
grammar
right.”
