17、36 The alligator (鳄鱼 ) was Mothers fault. She told me to buy something 【 B1】 Mother, as usual, blames me. She says that Ive got more 【 B2】 than brains. Thats not my little brothers 【 B3】 Im envious of my younger brother, Bobby, because 【 B4】 likes him. Last Christmas I gave him a pair of socks. Bobb

18、y was too stupid to understand the insult (侮辱 ). 【 B5】 getting mad, he said to me, “Theyre great and just what I 【 B6】 “. Mother had understood, though. So 【 B7】 year, on Friday, the week before Bobbys eighth birthday, she said, “Why cant you 【 B8】 your little brother? Only a mean person buys a chea

19、p pair of white cotton socks.“ Then she added, “I got 【 B9】 when he was watching a 【 B10】 show on TV. He likes animals. Theyve got 土 turtles (龟 ) on sale. You can buy him 【 B11】 as a birthday gift.“ Feeling annoyed but 【 B12】 , I promised. On the morning of 【 B13】 , I saw the newspaper on the kitche

20、n table. In big 【 B14】 , it announced that turtles were on sale 【 B15】 fifty cents. Then I saw the small print: BABY ALLIGATORS ON SALE. A 【 B16】 began to build in my mind. I imagined what would happen tonight 【 B17】 Bobby opened his present. He would probably run 【 B18】 from the room. It was the 【

21、B19】 gift.

26、n (订票 ) is for SNCF“ ( the French national rail line). “So where is the SNCF office?“ I asked, looking at the clock, which showed we had only 10 minutes before the train left. “There isnt one in Geneva,“ he replied. “The only thing I can do is to sell you two new tickets, and I only have smoking com

27、partment (车厢 ) seats left.“ This was getting worse by the minute. My wife and I had booked and paid for our tickets over the Internet and were now trying to collect them. Nowhere had it warned us that there wasnt an SNCF ticket office in Geneva. Rather than miss our train, we paid for two more ticke

28、ts and spent three hours sitting with several people who smoked one cigarette after another between Geneva and Pads. Fortunately, we were able to get Our money back for the unused tickets without any difficulty through the customer service office at the Gare de Lyon. I have to admit at this point th

29、at not only do I love France and the Franch, I also think that their trains are second to none, anywhere in the world. Having said that, the SNCF Internet ticket- buying process (过程 ) is very French in nature and requires considerable patience. This is where we fell into the “no SNCF office in Genev

30、a“ trap (困境 ). Once youve figured it out, however, it can work very smoothly and is usually more convenient than buying tickets in the US. This is how you go about it. 56 Where did the writer run into a problem with their ticket reservation? （ A） In Paris. （ B） In Geneva. （ C） In the Gare de Lyon. （

31、 D） In a city in the United States. 57 What did the writer have to do to catch the train? （ A） Pick up the two tickets booked for Pads. （ B） Order two tickets over the Internet. （ C） Pay for another two tickets. （ D） Look for the SNCF office. 58 What does the underlined word “This“ (line 6, para. 1)

32、 refer to? （ A） Travelling in the smoking compartment. （ B） Making sure that the train was on time. （ C） Buying two new tickets. （ D） The whole situation. 59 What is the text mainly about? （ A） Customer Service in SNCF. （ B） Customer service in Swiss Railways. （ C） The writers bad impression of Inte

33、rnet tickets. （ D） The writers experience in buying French rail tickets. 60 One of the most popular places in Cuban Miami is a restaurant called Versailles, which also has lots of mirrors on its walls. It has been on Eighth Sweet and Thirty-Fifth Avenue for many years and shares the same name with t

34、he famous French palace. One goes to the Versailles not only to be seen, but to be multiplied (复制 ). This old, cheap, noisy restaurant that serves basic Cuban food is wonderful for the self-absorbed: people who like themselves very much. Because of the bright light, even the windows reflect (反射 ), t

35、he Versailles is a place where you can lunch, but you cant hide. For years I have had the idea that those mirrors keep the blurred image (模糊影像 ) of every- one who has walked past before them. I think the mirrors have a memory. Every Cuban who has lived or set foot in Miami over the last 30 years has

36、, at one time or another, seen himself or herself reflected on those shiny surfaces. Miami is a Cuban city not only because of the number of Cubans who live there but also because of the number who have died there. The Versailles is a shiny place where dead people are buried. The history of Little H

37、avana is written on those walls. This may have been why, when the mirrors came down in 1991, there was such anger against it that some of them had to be put back. The Hall of Mirrors is also a house of spirits. 60 What is most special about Versailles according to the writer? （ A） The blurred images

38、 reflected on the windows. （ B） The number of French customers. （ C） The expensive Cuban food. （ D） The walls of mirrors. 61 What people are “self-absorbed“ ( line 6, para. 1 ) according to the writer? （ A） Those who want to meet other Cubans. （ B） Those who are interested in themselves. （ C） Those

39、who like to lunch in noisy restaurants. （ D） Those who are brave enough to face themselves. 62 What happened to the restaurant in 1991? （ A） More mirrors were added. （ B） Some of its old customers died. （ C） Fewer people went to the restaurant. （ D） Some mirrors were taken off the walls. 63 What can

40、 we infer from the text? （ A） The restaurant reflects Cubans life in Miami. （ B） The restaurant is one of the cheapest in Miami. （ C） The restaurant often holds picture exhibitions. （ D） The Cubans are unwilling to accept any changes. 64 Carefree, happy-go-lucky, and running wild are just some of th

41、e familiar phrases that come to mind when we think about childhood. Most of us have a lovely picture of what life is like for children. What could children possibly have to worry about? In the early l980s, many medical experts believed that children were unable to experience depression (忧郁 ). But th

42、e fact is that children do have plenty of cares. At least 2% of children under 12 struggle with depression and by teenage years this has risen to 5% or 1 in 20. Thats at least one depressed child in every classroom. Depression, whether in grown-ups or children, is poorly understood. Some children ar

43、e more at risk, such as those who are ill or who come from a broken family. But there are also many simpler worries, such as exam fears. Its not always easy to notice depression in children, partly because they are not so able as adults to express their feelings and partly because they are more like

44、ly to act out their feelings with bodily actions. So while some children are clearly sad, quiet, and tearful, others may become troublesome, hurting or fighting with others. If you are worried about your child, you should talk to your doctor and to your childrens friends, too, to try to learn about

45、their feelings. Medicine may be used, although less often than they are in grown-ups. But its very important that efforts are also made to help children understand why they became depressed, how they can deal with the problems in their life, and how they can form a more positive (正面的 ) opinion of th

46、eir world. Support within the family can help problem solving (解 决 ). 64 What was believed about childrens life in the past? （ A） It was full of happiness. （ B） It was hard to control. （ C） It was marked with depression. （ D） It had few health problems. 65 The word “cares“ (line 5, para. 1) refers t

47、o_. （ A） medical treatment needed for illness （ B） interests shared by children （ C） attention given by parents （ D） worries felt by children 66 According to the text, it seems harder to deal with depressed children than grown-ups because children_. （ A） have more exam fears （ B） face more health ri

48、sks （ C） are less able to talk about feelings （ D） experience fewer mental problems 67 What seems to be most important in dealing with depression in children? （ A） To help them understand what the problem is. （ B） To find out the most suitable medicine. （ C） To see the kind of friends they have. （ D

49、） To watch childrens activities. 68 Raccoon is an American Indian name for a small, tree-climbing animal, Raccoons are mainly active at night. They are restless, known for their “bandit s masks (强盗面孔 )“ ,ringed tails, and curiosity. A regular visitor to lakes and rivers, the raccoon lives on fish as well as nuts, fruits, and eggs. One ihteresting thing about this animal is that he always washes his meal. He does so be- cause of the habit of
