【題目】Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.

“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast.

“And you’ll be sorry that you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll surely be the best lawyer in our town!”

After graduation, George never became a lawyer and Richard was anybody but a millionaire …. Instead, it happened that both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street, while it was hard to make much money from books then, which made the competition between them worse. Eventually, Richard closed down his, dreaming of making a fortune elsewhere.

Now, with only one bookshop in the town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival (競爭對手)。Perhaps he missed him?

George was very interested in old dictionaries, and he had recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was quite delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished — the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading: “Bookends Company has bought ten bookstores from its competitors. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in this country.”

【1】George and Richard were atschool.

A. roommates B. good friends

B. He thought about Richard from time to time.

C. He felt unlucky with no more rival in the town.

D. He was unhappy of Richard’s disappearance.

【3】 George got information about Richard from .

A. a dictionary collector in Australia

B. one of Richard’s competitors

C. some rare edition of a dictionary

D. the wrapping paper of a book

【4】What happened to George and Richard in the end?

A. Both George and Richard became millionaires by selling books.

B. Both of them realized their original ambitions, which were the same.

C. George established a successful business while Richard was missing.

試題分析：文章主要講述的是喬治和瑞查得是互相自吹自擂的朋友，喬治說他會(huì)成為鎮(zhèn)子里最好的律師，而瑞查得說他將成為這里的第一個(gè)百萬富翁，但是最后瑞查得實(shí)現(xiàn)了他的諾言，而喬治沒有成為律師。

【1】C；細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一自然段可知，George和Richard在學(xué)校是一對不健康的競爭者。A項(xiàng)的roommates意思為“室友”，文章沒提到，故排除A項(xiàng)；B項(xiàng)good friends意思為“好朋友”，與文章的意思正好相反，故B項(xiàng)排除；D項(xiàng)booksellers意思為“書籍出版商”，這是他們畢業(yè)之后才開始的職業(yè),故選C

【2】B；細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第六自然段可知，在Richard度蜜月的時(shí)候失蹤之后，George書店的生意更好了，但是有些時(shí)候他坐在下載的，古老的廚房并凝視著臟臟的窗戶的時(shí)候，想起了他以前的競爭對手，難道他想他了？這表明George是不是的回想起他的競爭對手。A項(xiàng)文章沒有提到；C項(xiàng)與文章所陳述的事實(shí)相反；D項(xiàng)文章只是說Richard失蹤，而沒說他死了,故選B

【3】D；細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二自然段But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.可知George了包裹字典的報(bào)紙上的一個(gè)照片才知道了Richard沒有死。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)與本題無關(guān)，故可排除。故選D

【4】D；細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二和第三自然段可知，George說他將是城鎮(zhèn)里最好的律師，Richard說他將成為科爾福德第一個(gè)百萬富翁；根據(jù)文章最后自然段可知，Richard實(shí)現(xiàn)了他的理想，而George依然經(jīng)營他的書店，而不是當(dāng)一名律師。A項(xiàng)意思為“他們兩個(gè)人都變成百萬富翁”，故排除；B項(xiàng)“他們兩個(gè)人都實(shí)現(xiàn)了但是雄性和抱負(fù)”，故排除；C項(xiàng)“George建立了一個(gè)成功的生意而Richard失蹤了”，與文章事實(shí)不相符；故選D

【題目】Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品種)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

【1】 From paragraph 2 we know that __ .

A. animals are as clever as human beings

B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees

C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

D. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children

【2】 Both experiments show that .

A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right

B. Rico can recognize different things including toys

C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them

【3】 Which of the following statements is true?

A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.

B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.

D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.

【4】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. To train your dog.

B. To talk to your dog.

C. To be friendly to your dog.

D. To be careful with your dog.

【題目】A set of textbook designed to help high school student learn about Chinese traditional culture is to be published soon, Beijing Times reported on Monday.

The books are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture. They will be used by students from autumn this year, the report said.

The set contains four classics from ancient times. Two of the works, The Confucian Analects and Mencius, are for 10th-grade students, while the other two, Great Learning and Dao De Jing, will be used by 11th graders.

The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus.

Last April, the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks, especially those used for subjects such as Chinese Language, history, art and physical education.

The guidelines said students’ knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao, the college entrance exam.

【題目】B

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (團(tuán)結(jié)). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

【1】Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.

A. the strength of family unity

【2】We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.

A. started a business in 1975

C. bought a restaurant in San Francisco

D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles

D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.
