Something interesting happened during the last Christmas shopping hour in London. A poor man，who, though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a big store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with people buying presents and the assistants were dead_beat and wanted to go home. It seemed that all the necessary checks were made before the store was locked ，and the assistants went home to enjoy the threeday holiday.
Unfortunately, the man was still in the store. When he realized that，he decided to make the best of it. In the store, of course, there was plenty of food, drink and bedding. There must have been radios and television sets, which no one could tell whether the man had ever used. When the store reopened, the man was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seemed to have been very happy. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas，so he saw no reason why he should not do the same. Happily enough，he let the police take him away. Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual. It was reported that the man would have to stay in prison for seven days. It seemed, however, the judge was not going to do anything for the store, as he said that the store had become better known through the story in the newspapers and on television.
56．The poor man went into the big store in order to ________.
A．buy some drinks for Christmas
B．go around the store and take a look
C．spend the Christmas Eve
D．help the assistants sell goods

How do you address people in English when you want to talk to them? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.
1．When talking to a stranger there is often no special form of address in English. Usually，if you want to catch the attention of a stranger, it is necessary to use such a phrase as “Excuse me”．
2．In British English “Sir”and “Madam”are considered to be too formal for most situations. They are used mostly to customers in shops or restaurants. While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between stangers, especially with old people whose names you don’t know.
3．When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names；if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr.”，“Mrs.”，“Ms.”，etc. before their family names.
4．There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However，many of these are limited in use. For example, “pal” and “mate” can be used between strangers，but are usually only used by men talking to other men.
60．According to the passage, “Excuse me” is mainly used to ________.
A．address a person you don’t know
B．apologize to others
C．catch the attention of a stranger
D．suggest good manners
61．If John Smith is your friend, according to the passage you should often call him ________.
A．John B．Smith
C．Mr.Join D．Mr.Smith
62．The passage is most likely taken from an English ______.
A．textbook B．card
C．storybook D．grammar book
C
Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal attraction. No matter where you live，you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say Charlie Chaplin’s early films. However，a new type of humour, which starts largely from the U．S., has recently come into fashion. It is called “sick humour”．
Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents. The following “sick humour” will enable you to amuse yourself.
A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on bothering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He was afraid of having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patient’s recovery was slow. On Christmas Day，the man still had his right leg in plaster(石膏). He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day，however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and，sure enough，on New Year’s Eve he was able to hobble(蹒跚) along to a party. To make up for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than it was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still murmuring something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.
63．Which is right according to the text?
A．All the humour stories are funny in spite of different nationalities.
B．One can realize the humour of the stories in his own country.
C．Charlie Chaplin made it difficult to laugh at his action.
D．Almost all the audiences can be made to laugh at some famous comedians’ actions.
64．What does the underlined word “consoled” mean?
A．comforted B．overcame
C．confused D．disturbed
65．What can we infer from the passage?
A．No pains，no gains.
B．Extreme joy begets sorrow.
C．Once a thief，always a thief.
D．Good medicine tastes bitter.
66．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．A new kind of humour came into being.
B．How to cure your legs is important.
C．Christmas is more necessary than anything else.
D．Holding a party is interesting for the westerners.
D
We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard(橱柜) outside a furniture shop. It was
tall and narrow. “Buy it，”my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack(行李架). I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 pounds poorer; and the cupboard, was tied on to the roof rack. It was six inches long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped the traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said，“There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake，I wonder？”
In fact，a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rushhour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right，sir，” he said，“Do you need any more help？”
I was a bit puzzled.“Thanks，officer，”I said.“You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car；first at the flowers, then at the cupboard.“Well, well，”he said, laughing.“It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was, something else.”
My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes，it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
67．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．other drivers kindly let the couple go first, because the husband didn’t drive fast
B．the cupboard cost less than 20 pounds
C．all the cars followed the couple’s
D．the husband, in fact, would rather not buy the cupboard
68．The police will be more polite to those who are ________.
A．driving in the gathering darkness
B．in great sorrow
C．driving with wild flowers in the car
D．carrying furniture
69．What did the police officer think of the cupboard?
A．It was so expensive that it needed their help.
B．It was a big box with some bomb in it.
C．It was a box for a dead person to be buried in.
D．There might be something stolen in it.
70．What did the husband think of this matter?
A．It was very strange.
B．He felt ashamed of it.
C．He took great pride in it.
D．He was puzzled at it.

Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? __71__ The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.

__73__ These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.
__74__ Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few
extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously(下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.
Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.
Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.__75__

36．B [useless无用的。从上文“I did very badly at school.”可以看出，作者给校长的印象是“无用的”。]
37．A [根据never可判断要选anything。never/not be anything but表示“除……之外什么也不是”。]
38．B [根据上文中的badly可判断出作者的学业很差，做的工作自然也是不理想的，用poor；low不可直接修饰jobs，可说lowpaid jobs。]
39．D [thing事情。爱上一个中产阶级的女孩对作者来说是最好的事情。]
40．B [decide决定。根据其宾语可判断出这是作者作出的决定。admit承认；plan计划；tell告诉。]
41．C [her指上文提到的那个中产阶级的女孩。]
42．A [向女孩证明人们说的是错误的。]
43．D [face正视。让我们正视这件事吧，你做的每件事都是失败的。]
44．C [根据下文中的“my first novel”可判断出作者要用自己的写作来证明别人的话是错误的。]
45．C [come out出版，发行。第一本小说是在上大学时出版发行的。come on继续前进；come in进来；come back回来。]
46．A [根据下文“attended evening classes”可判断出是在白天教学。]
47．C [get a degree in history在历史学方面获得学位。]
48．D [give up放弃。作者考虑辞去工作做一名专业作家。give in屈服；give back还回；give out分发。]
49．C [when就在这时。这时得到一份兼职工作。]
50．B [here is(are，was，were)这儿有。有一个努力工作的男孩。作者对自己目前的状况感到骄傲。]
51．A [从上文可以看出由于作者在学校里成绩很差，过早地离开了学校。]
52．D [famous出名。根据下文“...have been on TV，and have met lots of film stars.”可判断出作者出名了。]
53．B [but表示转折。虽然出了名，但这意味着什么呢？however表示“然而”时，要用逗号与句子分开。]
54．A [just仅仅，只是。表达了作者唯一的希望。]
55．B [根据直接引语可确定选said。我唯一希望的是对那些曾使我灰心丧气的人说：“我信任你。你会成功。”这是作者通过自己的经验得出的结论。]
56．B [细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句：A poor man...found himself locked in a big store...以及第二段第四句：There must have been radios and television sets，which no one could tell whether the man had ever used.可以推知，这个人一定是一个没有什么钱的穷人，因此判断他在圣诞前夕走进一家商店的目的只不过是看一看(take a look)。其他选项所述都不可能是他走进商店的目的。]
57．D [词义猜测题。根据上下文：当时商店里挤满了购买圣诞礼物的人，可推知售货员一定是很累并且想尽快赶回家休息。因此dead beat意为“非常劳累”。]
58．C [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可得出C项为正确答案。enjoy his stay与原文中make the best of it同义。]
59．A [推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话：It seemed，however，the judge was not going to do anything for the store，as he said that the store had become better known through the story in the newspapers and on television.可以推知：是这个穷人被锁在了商店里的故事使这家商店更著名了。B、C、D项均与文章细节相矛盾。]
60．C [根据文中第二段“if you want to catch the attention of a stranger，it is necessary to use such a phrase as ‘Excuse me’”，可知答案为C。]
61．A [根据文中第四段“If you are friends，use their first names”可知答案为A。]
62．A [根据常识可知card(卡片)、storybook(故事书)、grammar book(语法书)里一般不会有这种文章，只有textbook(课本)中才有可能有这种文章，所以答案为A。]
63．D [从第一段第二句“certain funny situations have a universal attraction.”看出A项太绝对；B项的in his own country是错误的；C项的意思与原文相反；而对于有些著名滑稽演员的表演来说，几乎所有的人都能看懂，并且大笑起来，故选D项。]
64．A [从“...the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good.医生安慰他，告诉他有机会能够离开医院过新年。”看出console含有comfort(安慰)的意思。]
65．B [A项“不劳无获”；B项“乐极生悲”；C项“一次做贼，永远是贼”；D项“良药苦口”。从文章的最后他又摔坏了左腿看出选B项。]
66．A [本文通过第一段的引入，说明了当前的一种新的幽默。B、C、D三项都和要表达的主题无关。]
67．D [由第二段可知。其他三项说明的都是文章给出的事实，不是由文中推断出来的隐藏含义。]
68．B [在昏暗的光线中，车顶有一个大柜子，车里有鲜花，车速又很慢，这一切都给人一种送葬灵车的印象，所以警察对他们的车辆彬彬有礼。]
69．C [从第五段警车把他们的车辆领到教堂门口，警察把他们的橱柜当作了棺材。]
70．B [由最后一段可知。作者尽量快地开车想摆脱他所处的尴尬局面。]
71．D 72.B 73.E 74.G 75.C

I have decided to become a middle school teacher，Does it sound ？ I had this dream when I was only a child. I love children. As we all can see，when\ teachers are needed in our country, especially in the countryside. Many parents want their children to be welleducated， they don’t want them to be teachers. Perhaps one of the main is
that teachers work too hard but get too little. In spite that，I am determined to devote all my life to in my hometown.
书面表达
Why a Sense of Humour Is Important?
Humour shows a person’s character. If you can see everything with a sense of humour，you are an interesting person，and people won’t feel bored when they are with you. It also shows that you are a welleducated person.
You are healthy and happy with your sense of humour，for it always keeps you in high spirits, which is good for your health. A sense of humour changes the colour of the whole world for you.
You will also have plenty of friends with your sense of humour. People feel it a pleasure to be with you，for you help them to see things from an entirely different and much brighter point of view. You give people strength and you lighten their hearts with hope.
