     Norah had a cottage on a cliff (悬崖) above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because
of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to
sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very
big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken
glass over them.
     Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down
the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit
out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she
could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
     Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to
come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When
they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and
meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but
entertain and listen to them.
     This went on for several years. Norah didn"t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and
relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. "You"re
disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?" said the hairdresser. "Why don"t you try my way of
escaping?"
     "What"s that?" asked Norah.
     "Well," the hairdresser answered, "when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If
it"s someone I don"t want to see, I say innocently, "I"m sorry, but I"ve got to go out." But…

1. The underlined word "gale" can be replaced by _____.A. wind
B. ship
C. sea
D. animal2. We can infer that _____.A. lots of friends cam to visit them in winter
B. few friends came to visit them in winter
C. friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals
D. Norah was a good cook3. How did Norah go to the sea for a swim?  A. She went there by ship.
B. She walked there.
C. She swam there.
D. She went there by bicycle.4. The hairdresser likely to continue to say "_____" in the end?A. if I"m tired, I say "Sorry, can you come next time?"
B. if it"s someone I like to see, I say "How lucky! I"ve just come in!"
C. if it is fine that day, I say, "I"m tired of this, but I"ll show you around the place."
D. if it"s someone I like to see, I say, "How happy to see you! But I was going shopping now ."5. Which of the following is the best title?A. A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea
B. A Visit to Norah

     I saw the old man, with his untidy clothes and messy hair, as he dashed between the rows of the
department store. He was trying to be ordinary but he was hard not to    1  .
     He   2  the saleswoman and with a slight   3_, possibly German, asked where the women"s shoes
were sold. "Fourth floor." She responded in a voice I could hear 10 miles away. "Pardon? Where did
you say they were?" he asked again, apparently    4_. Clearly the old man was somewhat    5  "Fourth
floor, sir," the friendly saleswoman replied patiently, this time so _6_ that customers turned to see what

saleswoman and asked where the women"s shoes were sold. Again he asked her to   11   the answer
and once more he walked away and took down some notes.
     He did this three more times before a department store   12 , thinking him mad, removed him from
the store. But rather than be   13 , the old man departed with a huge smile on his face. Although the
incident was   1, it was not until a year later, during my first year of university, that I gave it any
further   15_. I walked into my language classroom and met my professor. It was that very same man.

   She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is
catching up with the Mona Lisa. 
   1     
     "The thin, wooden panel (面,板) on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since
experts checked it two years ago," the museum said.   2   
    3   "It is very interesting that when you"re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you
look at her and she stops," said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. "It"s because
direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da
Vincipainted the smile in shadows."
     However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.      4   
     In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum
hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two
years later.
    5   
A. Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery
     of her smile.
B. This picture is now so valuable that no one can tell its exact price. Therefore, many thieves
     tried to steal it in any way they could think of.
C. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world"s most famous painting is not easy.
D. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical  state.
E. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold
     to France"s King Francis I in 1519.
F. The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by
     the year, according to the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed.
G. During World War II , French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of
     German forces. Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
