I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz(爵士音乐) concert last Friday. The advertisement(广告) in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00.Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返的) trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back(奔回) across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
小题1:The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday ________.
A.from his friendsB.from one of his workmates
C.over the radioD.from the newspaper
小题2:One day the man took________ to get to the theatre by bus.
A.forty-five minutesB.fifteen minutes
C.just twenty minutesD.over an hour
小题3:The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by“________”.
A.worriedB.pleasedC.puzzledD.sorry

A.enjoyment of the concertB.anger for buying the ticket
C.efforts to buy the ticketD.disappointment at the concert

试题分析:
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我为买一张音乐会的票所付出的努力。由于上班的原因我只能在午饭的时间去买票,可去那个城市的班车很不及时,我等了好几天都没有赶上合适的班车;有一次赶上了,到达那里的时候,排队等候的人很多,无奈我只好返回。最后,我打车去那里,到达那里我发现没有人排队,我很高兴。但后来我发现票已经卖完了。
小题1:D考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的The advertisement(广告) in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00.可知,那人是通过报纸上的广告得知的音乐会买票的信息的。故选D。

小题3:B考查猜测词义。根据文章最后一段中的When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line.可知,当我到达剧院的时候,我看到没人排队,所以我感到高兴、轻松。故选B。
小题4:C考查作者的写作意图。根据文章的整体内容可知,由于上班的原因我只能在午饭的时间去买票,可去那个城市的班车很不及时,我等了好几天都没有赶上合适的班车;有一次赶上了,到达那里的时候,排队等候的人很多,无奈我只好返回。最后,我打车去那里,到达那里我发现没有人排队,我很高兴。但后来我发现票已经卖完了。所以作者写这篇文章是为了告诉读者他买票所付出的努力。故选C。

My ears are recently full of praising words from my friends such as, “ Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah,—I ______ to some degree, though I sometimes do want to______ them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his______ and how much they know about football apart from______ goals.

If we close our eyes, falling in deep______, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a______ meaning.

Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another manager, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff instead of opening a new competition. My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts he, the manager, had made to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. As promised, after thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And, what I found out during this interview, left me deep in thought. As it turned out, the    performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement, and was constantly changing the work load and routines. The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident, hated to see a new work day start.
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit. What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had ever worked with. Maria couldn"t do enough and was constantly asking for more and for more responsibility. I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.
Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could. It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like.
小题1:What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph?
A.He is a manager in the company.
B.He doesn"t like his receptionist.
C.He likes to compete with others.
D.He wants to find another position.
小题2:After hearing his colleague"s description of Maria, the writer thought that Maria_______.
A.attempted to settle the issues
B.was a problem to her boss
C.shouldn"t stay in the company
D.could get on well with others
小题3:Why did Maria fail to perform well in her previous job?
A.Her previous job was not suitable for her.
B.She had difficulty responding to her manager.
C.Her boss didn"t inspire her working enthusiasm.
D.Her boss showed no trust in her ability.
小题4:The writer accepted Maria"s transfer to unit probably because he thought that________.
A.she was a ruined employee
B.she would need his protection
C.she would turn out to be a good employee
D.she was a shy and frightened employee
小题5:The writer probably believes that a good boss should________.
