题型：不详难度：来源：
After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality (道德). Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

| C．he knew the doctor was a very good one |

| A．be properly treated |
| B．talk with the person responsible for the accident |
| C．recover before he leaves America |
| D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury |
| A．be responsible | B．accuse | C．ask as a price | D．claim |
| A．friendly | B．selfish | C．professional | D．busy |
| A．Going to court is something very common in America. |
| B．One must be very careful while driving a car. |
| C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides. |

eBooks still some way away from students
Twelve-year-old Tang Yin is one of the earliest students to test a digital textbook in China. The boy said he was a little 11 when he received the monochromatic(单色的) flat device in April, 2010, because he thought it should be a “ 12 cool” laptop. But Tan still cherishes(珍爱) his new equipment like “protecting my 13 ,” said the fifth grader. After all, not every student has the opportunity to 14 the eBook, which is worth $294 (￥2,000 yuan), he said.
The 50 eBooks, 15 by Taiwan eBook manufacturer Chuanqi Photoelectric Technology in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, enables one class at Yangzhou Sanyuanqiao Elementary School to be the 16 group of students in the Chinese mainland to replace their regular textbooks with electronic ones. Out of 1000 students, Tang’s class was the lucky 17 .
“Our school could not 18 the project without the company’s donation,” said Yuan Shishan, vice-headmaster of the primary school. 19 the digital book is considered environmentally friendly, because it replaces paper books and saves money in the long run, the price is much higher than most Chinese 20 can afford. Also, some technical defects, the 21 of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the eBook fail to meet the expectations of students and teachers.
“There’s still a/an 22 way to go before the eBook really plays an important role in education,” said the headmaster.
According to Yuan, the annual average income of a 23 family in Yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan 24 book.
The school doesn’t allow the students to take their eBooks to their homes. The devices are 25 after class, and are locked in the headmaster’s office.

“Frank!” I cried in surprise. He couldn’t answer, as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years － to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal. He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the Wests went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running － and paced his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted me in the same way.
小题1: How did the writer know that the patient was Frank?
| A．He was told that Frank was in the hospital. | B．He was invited to study Frank’s illness. |
| C．Frank’s name was written on the door. | D．Frank greeted him in a special way. |
| A．In Mrs West’s house in 1941. |
| B．In an air-raid shelter during the war. |
| C．At the Ruth Hospital about ten years ago. |
| D．In London after he Wests’ house was destroyed. |
| A．those who suffered from illness | B．those who slept in the air-raid shelter |
| C．those who were killed during the war | D．those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids |
| A．to be friendly towards Frank |
| B．to see if Frank’s feet were normal |
| C．to find out if Frank could put on his shoes |
D．to teach Frank to greet peop le in a special way |
A White – bearded ancient man was walking over the hills and valleys of the world．On his back he carried a bag which moved uneasily as if something was trying to escape from it, but he 21 it between his shoulders and walked on．
He was Father Time, traveling forever, and the bag he 22 was filled with Tomorrows, all struggling to get out．
Each 23 at twelve o’clock, he opened the bag and 24 a Tomorrow, just one, with its wings of 25 , and its shining feathers rose with hope．All the rest were kept 26 by Time’s strong hands and pushed 27 in the bag．
Down flew the Tomorrow 28 its lovely feathers, but as it touched the 29 , off fell its blue wings and it changed to a（n） 30 white bird which could not fly．It had become a Today．Everyone knows that Today isn’t as 31 as Tomorrow, for Today can be held in one’s 32 , accepted, unloved, but Tomorrow is full of mystery（神秘）and beauty．It is 33 by all the world．Even those with 34 hope sigh, “Tomorrow may bring a（n） 35 ．Tomorrow’s life will be different．”
Everybody tried to 36 the Tomorrow before it fell to the ground．They thought if they 37 beforehand what the Tomorrow carries, they could 38 for it．So they put great nets on the trees, seeking to catch one 39 it changed his feather．Yet although they tried every means, the birds 40 and flew to the ground as Todays．

The nine-year-old boy was attracted by the sight of my father practicing martial arts the moment he walked into the gym. As my father threw speedy punches(出拳) into the 36 bag－yet was hardly able to move it－the boy walked slowly toward him.
My father, 37 of the boy’s stare, jammed a couple of sharp sidekicks into the bag to end his 38 . He picked up his towel, sat down on a nearby bench, and began 39 his face and hands.
“Hey, mister,” said the boy. My father 40 at the boy, bringing the towel down off his face and putting it around to the back of his neck. “Do you know karate or 41?” the boy asked.
“Actually, I know Tae Kwon Do,” my father answered.
“Cool. What 42 are you?”
“Black belt,” my father said. “You like martial arts?”
“Yeah, and I want to know if you can show me a 43!”said the kid. “Can you show me how to 44 someone?”
My father 45 for a moment before he said, “Come here.” and 46 with his hand for the boy to come 47. His expression was serious.
The kid took a couple of steps closer to my father. Looking slightly 48 .As the boy moved closer, my father quickly 49 his hand straight out, 50 stopped within an inch of the boy’s chest.
The boy, shocked, jumped back in clumsy 51, almost falling over himself. My father smiled, with his hand still outstretched in the boy’s direction. “Give me your 52,” my father said.
The boy inched forward again, 53. My father took his hand and began to shake it 54, as if the two of them had been old friends 55 each other.
“You know, kid,” my father said, “you’ll solve more problems with this move than with any other.
