Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods. We were only a couple of blocks away from home when I suddenly saw a cellphone and a credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We always find amazing things on the street and she looks upon them as a movable feasta chicken wing here or a bone there.
I found another cellphone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sister's and that he'd come to pick it up, which he did.
And that was that. No verbal thank－you, no written thank－you, and no “here's a box of chocolates” thank－you.
I didn't have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate(振动) and dance across the kitchen counter.
“Who's this？” someone asked when I picked up.
“Who's this ？” I asked. “Sarah？”
She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card. “Could you send them to me？” she asked. She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles away from my house.
“Hmm, no.” I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasn't at home, they would be in my mailbox.
A day later, when I was out for a run, someone came and took them away. There wasn't even a piece of paper put in the mailbox with “Thanks” on it. In their age of e－mail and cellphone there's really no excuse. Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street a driver's license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me so I called him up. He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.
“I guess I could, ”I replied.
And that was that.
文章大意：本文从自己的亲身经历来说明，现在的人虽然交流方式先进了，但不如以前讲礼貌。
1. What is the relationship between Maggie and the writer?
A. Wife and husband.
B. Daughter and father.
C. Teacher and student.
D. Master and pet dog.
答案：D 推理判断题。 文中第一段最后一句“she looks upon them as a movable feast—a chicken wing here or a bone there”可以看出她喜欢鸡翅和骨头，而且是街上丢的，应该是宠物。
2. How did the writer know Sarah's telephone number?
A. From her telephone's phone book.
B. From her credit card.
C. From her e－mail.
D. From her driving license.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第七段中“her name was on the credit card”我知道了她的名字，那打来电话的一定是失主，由此我推断出她的电话号码，故选B。
3. The writer wants to tell us ________ through the unusual stories.
A．we should return the things we picked to the losers
B．we should learn to appreciate others because of the use of e－mail and cellphone
C．people would learn to appreciate persons who provide help
D．the advance of society makes people lose some virtues (美德)
答案：C 细节信息题。根据“And that was that. No verbal thank－you, no written thank－you, and no “here's a box of chocolates”thank－you.”可知，作者抱怨这些失主得到帮助后居然没有表示谢意。
B
Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people's houses.
Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We've been to a lot of other people's houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn't we？”
“Yes, certainly，” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing' won't it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month. ” So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I'll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.” “How many will that be？” Mr. Harris asked. “Don't invite too many.”
Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitation when her husband saw what she was writing, “Party: 6：30 p．m. to 8：30 p. m．” “That isn't very nice, is it？” he said. “You're telling our guests that they must go at 8：30 p．m..” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6：30 p. m．”
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8：30p. m．. In fact they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨)．”
Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go. When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn't it? Who complained about the noise？” “I did.” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.
文章大意：这是一篇关于Harris夫妇举行宴会的有趣的故事。
4．Why did Mr. Harris and his wife move to another town?
A．They wanted to make some new friends.
B．Mr. Harris changed his work.
C．They wanted to meet a lot of interesting people.
D．They enjoyed going to parties and visiting other people's houses.
答案：B 推理判断题。从文章第一段第一句我们得知Mr. Harris changed his work，所以他们才移居到另一个小镇，也就是B答案。
5．What made Mr. and Mrs. Harris hold a party at their house?
A．It was easy to hold a big party at home.
B．They could ask people to dinner in small numbers.
C．They had gone to other people's parties many times.
D．They liked making friends with others.
答案：C 细节理解题。第二段的“We've been to a lot of other people's houses”告诉了我们他们之所以举办宴会的原因，据此可知选C项。
6．How long would Mrs. Harris like the party to last?
A．From the morning till night.
B．About fourteen hours.
C．About two hours.
D．Till midnight.
答案：C 细节理解题。题目问的是Mrs.Harris预计宴会持续多长时间，而不是实际到几点结束。在Mrs.Harris刚开始写请柬时是写Party：6：30 p，m.to 8.30 p．m.，大概两个小时，即答案选C。
7．When did the party end that evening?
A．At about 8：30 p．m..
B．When the policeman talked with Mr. Harris on the phone.
C．About twelve o'clock
D．When someone telephoned the police station.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知。宴会结束是midnight，也就是午夜12点左右，而当警察出现时，宴会还在进行，故答案选C。
