B
A beautiful and very successful actress (女演员) was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture (家具) and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill (账单). At the bottom of it were these words: “ Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”

A. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)
Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures.

First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish . . .
Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.
C. A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)
Meg’s father, a U.S. government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.
Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too late?

D. The Pearl (John Steinbeck)
One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. "No," says Kino. "I will have my chance. I am a man." But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.
This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.
E. The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
It’s winter, 1880—1881, on America’s northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.
This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.
F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）
阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
On November 8,all flags in Finland were flown at half-mast(半旗). People were showing their respect to the victims of a high school tragedy. The day before, an 18-year-old boy opened fire at his high school, killing seven other students and the principal before ending his own life.
The first school shooting in Finland since 1989 stunned the nation where gun crime is rare and people enjoy a high standard of living. While the police are busy searching for the killer"s motives, another issue is creating debate in the North European country - the right to carry a gun.
Finland is one of a few developed Western countries that allow private possession of guns. The right to bear arms is deeply rooted in Finnish culture. Anyone older than 15 can buy a gun from certain shops, and gun clubs are popular places to hang out. The high school shooter was a member of the Helsinki Shooting Club, which has 1,500 members.
Descendants (子孙) of hunters, Finns have survived by hunting and fishing for thousands of years. But today hunting is just done for entertainment. And its land, half of which is covered by forest, provides an ideal site for hunting.
In Finland, there are about 56 guns for every 100 people. That figure is higher than any other country in the world except for the United States and Yemen. In comparison with those two nations, however, Finland has largely avoided bloodshed caused by firearms, at least until last week. However, the recent event proved the need for stricter gun laws.
Petri Oinonen, a gun dealer, said the shooting did not surprise him. "It was only a question of when this was going to happen, not if it was going to happen."
61. The underlined word "stunned " in paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. shocked B. excited C. announced D. stopped
62. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Finland?
A. There was a school shooting in Finland in 1989.
B. Finland has much bloodshed caused by firearms.
C. The ancestors of Finnish people are mainly hunters.
D. Finland has the world"s third rate of gun ownership.
63. According to Petri Oinonen, we can learn _______.
A. the school shooting was really an unexpected event to him
B. Finnish people were asking the question when this would happen again
C. a disaster like this was sure to happen because of loose gun laws
D. nobody knew whether this was going to happen again
64. What would be the best title for the text?
A. School shooting: A disaster! B. Finns, think again about gun possession!
C. Finland, a danger to the world! D. Finns, protect yourselves!
