    Passage 1

    Once an honored man was having a birthday party. His sons and servants were busy welcoming guests. A thief slipped into the house. He hid himself by lying face down on a beam in the ceiling of the hall where the birthday banquet was to be held. From there, the thief could look down upon the guests and see all the gifts of silks, jade, and jewels brought in. He tried to remember where these were put so that he could steal them after the party was over.

    Later that evening, the host was looking at all his presents happily. He leaned over them with his back turned to the thief hiding on the beam. The thief was looking around the room so that he would be able to move quietly when the lights were off. As the thief hung his head over the beam it made a shadow on the floor.

    The host did not show that he had seen the shadow. He called for his servant to set a table for one guest with the best food and drink. Turning towards the beam on which the thief lay, he bowed low and said, “Will the gentleman on the roof-beam now come down to have some refreshments?”

    There was nothing else the thief could do but climb down. His host fed him well. After the thief had eaten his fill, the host gave him a bag of silver coins and begged him to make good use of them. Then the host saw the thief to the door and bid him good night.

    Ten years passed, and again the honored man held a birthday party. Many visitors came to bring him presents. The man was very old by now and could not greet all the

    guests. His grandson met the visitors at the door and invited them to dine with his grandfather in the evening. He then took the gifts in for the old man to see.

    Towards the end of the day a stranger came, bringing gifts of gold and jewels. He would not give his name, but asked to see the honored old man.

    The stranger was led to the old man’s room. The old man did not know this guest and asked for his name.

    The stranger smiled, “I am an honest man. I have learned to live a good life. But it was not always so. Do you remember how you once asked me to come down from the roof-beam and eat your food?”

    The host was amazed. He was even more surprised when he heard how his kindness had changed the thief into an honest man.

    21. How did the thief get into the house?

    A. He carefully disguised himself as a guest.

    B. He followed the servants, carrying dishes.

    C. He broke into the house through a window.

    D. He went into the house without being noticed.

  • 第3题:

    听力原文:W: Did you hear about Mr. William's case last week?

    M: Yes. It's too terrible. As a matter of fact, he should not issue an open cheque in favor of a third party. Anyone who holds it would present it to the paying bank and obtain cash against it.

    Q: What happened to Mr. Williams?

    (16)

    A.He lost a cheque and the thief cashed it.

    B.He opened a cheque account.

    C.A thief stole the money from the bank.

  • 第4题:

    Mr. Scrushy made donations to the black groups probably because ________.

    A. he had close relations with Birmingham's African-American population

    B. he wanted the church to set up more buildings

    C. he was very benevolent

    D. he wanted to get support from the blacks in his trial


    正确答案:D
    Mr. Scrushy给黑人团体捐款的原因在文中有提及,关于捐款文章第四、五段有涉及。第四段提到,陪审团18个人中有11个是黑人,在审判前和审判中他和伯明翰的非裔美国人建立了关系,他加入了一个黑人教会,捐款给他们,与此同时还给其他一些黑人团体捐款。第五段一开头就提出,教堂牧师说他收到Mr. Scrushy的钱款,交换条件是为他在黑人中间赢得支持,而Mr. Scrushy本人则称这个和他的案子无关。从全文来看,Mr. Scrushy多次涉嫌欺诈,他说的话也有欲盖弥彰的感觉。在A“他和伯明翰非裔美国人有密切联系”,B“他希望教堂可以建造更多的房子”,C“他非常慈善”,D“他希望在他的案件中得到黑人的支持”中,从逻辑上推断,D最恰当。
