“I’d like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please,” she said.
“Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and put it on the scale (天平).
“That’s just under ten pounds,” he said.
“That big enough,” Mrs. Parker said.
The butcher worked out the price.
“At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”
“Oh, I don’t want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said.

III. 阅读理解。
A篇
1. B。根据文章首段的 “Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.” 不难看出Ellen Parker爬楼困难、气喘吁吁。由此,我们得出 Ellen Parker的健康有问题这一结论。
2. A。由文章的最后一段中的 “My doctor told me that I am overweight and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like.”可知,她体重超常,医生建议让她减肥。
3. D。由最后一段的 “I wanted to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like.”可知, Ellen Parker 到肉店去并非是为了买肉,而是要看看10磅肉究竟有多大一块。
4. B。文章第一段提到 Ellen Parker 的身体很虚弱,最后点明医生让她减肥10磅。据此,我们可以推断出她所有的健康问题皆由身体肥胖所致。
5. C。医生给Ellen Parker 提出建议后,紧接着警告说:“ If you don't do what I say,you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.”。所以,假如Ellen Parker 不听医生的劝告,就有患心脏病的危险。
B篇
6. A。从文中第二段第一句话即“He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper.”可得出答案。
7. D。文中讲到第一天死了只羊,晚餐就吃了烤羊肉;第二天死了只牛,然后晚餐就吃了烤牛肉;到第三天死了只猪,晚餐就吃了烤猪肉;到四天农夫死了,Henry 就回来了,他不敢留着吃晚餐,得出答案D。
8. C。本题考查猜测词义。由原文“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “ and you are complaining!”,根据句意,可以猜出complain意为“抱怨”。可知选C。
9. B。由第三段“I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”可得出答案。
10. C。本文主要是讲述作者假期中发生的事, 所以标题也应该与假期有关,紧扣主旨。可能误选D项,但文中并没有讲到Henry和the farmer 的关系。
Ⅳ. 书面表达。

Dear Miss Zhao,

As you know, I’ve made great progress in English with your help. At this moment, I want to say“Thank you”.
I still remember when I began to learn English, I found it too difficult. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t do well in it. I lost my confidence and almost gave it up. As soon as you knew it, you had a long talk with me about how to learn English well. You always encouraged me whenever I made a little progress. Ever since then I have been interested in it and improved myself a lot.
Though I have to say goodbye to you very soon, I still think I am so lucky to be your student. I hope you can relax yourself and keep healthy.
Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Li Lei
