【題目】At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you’d call a perfect farm. But it was mine.

I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.

I wouldn’t say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some tools, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”

Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!

I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.

【1】Why did the writer buy the Missouri farm?

A. To marry a nice girl.

B. To live a liberating life.

C. To have his own land.

D. To earn more profit.

【2】What was Claudette when the writer met her?

A. A manager. B. A storekeeper.

C. A housekeeper. D. A shop assistant.

【3】What can we learn about the Missouri farm?

A. It was well furnished.

B. It led to a happy marriage.

C. It was 40 acres.

D. It made a successful farmer.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】文章講述了作者在二戰(zhàn)服役后，買下了自己想要的一塊土地，盡管沒有自來水，沒有電但是作者很滿足這種自由的生活，并在這里收獲了愛情。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land.” 27歲，二戰(zhàn)服役后，我夢想擁有一塊土地�？芍髡呦胍獡碛凶约旱耐恋�。根據(jù)題意，故選C。

【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個單詞）或所給單詞的正確形式。
Many English language learners believe that the (great) difficulty with listening comprehension (理解) is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that what the speaker says disappears they can follow. This frequently means that students are learning to listen cannot keep up. They are so busy working out the meaning one part of what they hear that they miss the next part. Or they (simple) ignore a whole section because they fail to catch it quickly enough. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said. And, of course, repeats cannot (ask) for when listening to the radio or watching TV.
Besides, (choose) of vocabulary is in the hands of the speaker, not the listener. Very often, for people listening to a foreign language, an unknown word can be like a suddenly (drop) stone making them stop and think about the meaning of the word, (cause) them to miss the next part of the speech. In listening, it really is a case of “He who (stop) to work out the meaning is lost.”

【題目】I like travelling very much. 【1】 They are wonderful adventures filled with new sights and experiences. And my wife and I have another trip in the planning stages．

We're home now and have settled back into our daily routine of life. 【2】 I find that when I am at home, particularly for a while when we have just returned from a trip, I feel very comfortable. Perhaps it is because everything around me is familiar and the daily routine is so much the same and I can move through it almost without thinking. 【3】 Perhaps it is because we can have meals at home instead of always being in restaurants, although it's nice to let someone else do the cooking, and because I can sleep in my own bed. There are times I think it would be nice to simply stop travelling and stay home．【4】

Yet I guess I am probably a restless soul because I know that after I have been home for a while I will start to think about other places we might go and other things we want to see. 【5】 We will travel again and we feel fortunate to be able to do so. Still, one of the best things about travelling for me is coming home. I'm very comfortable here at home even if it is difficult to say exactly why．
