At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!
Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas(西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.
Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”
小题1:“A package trip” probably means _________.| A．a free trip | | B．a long journey | | C．a pleasant trip | | D．a trip that includes the cost of all the tickets and services |
小题2:Ann didn’t eat dinners in the restaurant of the hotel because _________.| A．she was afraid that she couldn’t pay for them with her little money | | B．her doctor told her not to eat them | | C．she wasn’t well | | D．she wasn’t hungry |
小题3:Why did Ann buy some cheese, some bread and some oranges?| A．Because they were good for her health. | | B．Because she planned to eat them instead of lunch and supper. | | C．Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant. | | D．Because she is afraid that she couldn’t eat enough in the hotel restaurant. |
小题4:How do you think Jane would feel after she heard Ann’s answer?| A．Angry. | B．Happy. | C．Surprised. | D．Excited |
|
小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:C |
试题分析：本文叙述了Ann在一次去西班牙旅行的时候，由于不小心把自己的钱弄丢了，这严重影响了她的吃饭问题，她认为这次旅行只提供早饭，不包括午饭和晚饭，因为自己的钱不多了，所以她也不敢去看名胜，剩下的两顿饭只吃些水果充饥，把自己饿坏了，最后Jane告诉了她这是一次大包干的旅行，她非常吃惊。
小题1:细节理解题。根据The price of this holiday includes everything!”大包干的旅行，包括吃饭住宿等，故选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据Ann told her about her money problems. 她把钱丢了，所以她怕拿不出钱来吃饭，故选A。
小题3:细节理解题。根据After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.可知她买这些是为了午饭和晚饭吃的，故选B。
小题4:推理判断题。根据因为Ann认为这次旅行只包括早饭，不包括午饭和晚饭所以她听了Jane的话后应该感觉很吃惊，故选C。

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber --- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money .
Vicki Brown , 30 , played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt . Vicki , who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years , told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said : “ I was very nervous . But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 8 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said : “ He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty , called her boss Margaret , 64 , and husband Stan McKale, 65 , who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston , Gateshead , at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man . Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
“ It was about ten to two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘ Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside ?’ My heart missed a beat .”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
“ I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel , so I went to watch . I could not see into the man’s room , but I could see the passage . The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing . Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带上手铐).”

An old man lived with his family. The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, dropping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily(笨拙地) at the tablecloth.
With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became annoyed with the mess.
“We must do something about grandfather,” said the son.
“I’ve had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor,” the daughter-in-law agreed.
So the couple set a small table at the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family looked in grandfather’s direction, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy replied, “Oh, I’m making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.
小题1:Eating was difficult for the grandfather because ________.| A．his son and daughter-in-law didn’t like him | | B．there wasn’t enough food for him | | C．life was hard for the poor family | | D．he was old and weak |
小题2:The couple served the old man’s food in wooden bowls to ________.| A．show how sick they felt of the old man | | B．make the old man’s food more enjoyable | | C．prevent the old man from breaking more dishes | | D．encourage their son to make more wooden bowls |
小题3:What would the end of the story be like?| A．The couple gave their son a good beating. | | B．No more milk was spilled by the old man. | | C．The old man had every meal with the family. | | D．The whole family started to use wooden bowls. |
