James felt a rush blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday present.The assistant listened carefully and told him he"d better buy a necklace. He wasn"t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to reasonable price and type(类型), the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o"clock. When, half an hour later, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.

举一反三
I paid a visit to Cambridge last January.  Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.
The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived,which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting,one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.
Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year.
Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town;it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops,pubs,and supermarkets,but most of it is university-colleges,departments,libraries,clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops,cafes,banks and churches,making these as well part of the university.
With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break,better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions,carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.
小题1:The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________
A.bad weatherB.unexpected stops of the bus
C.one passengerD.an accident on the way
小题2:Why is Cambridge called a university town?
A.It has 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
B.There are over thirty colleges in the town.
C.All the students and staff live in the town.
D.The university and town are fully combined.
小题3:It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.
A.boatsB.carsC.bicycles D.buses

Violent winds swept the ocean, and waves thundered to shore, shaking the lookout tower at Pea Island Rescue Station. Surfman Theodore Meekins was on watch that evening of 11 October 1896. A hurricane had struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the tide was so strong that beach patrols(巡逻)had been canceled. Still, Meekins paid close attention to the horizon. This was the type of weather that could blow ships hundreds of miles off course.
Offshore, the ship E.S. Newman was caught in the storm. The captain, whose wife and child were on the ship, feared the Newman would soon break up. He made the decision to beach his ship, then fired a signal, praying that someone onshore would see it.
Meekins, whose eyes were trained to cut through rain and surf mists, thought he saw the signal, but so much spray (水雾) covered the lookout windows that he could hardly make sure. Still, he took no chances. After summoning (召集) the station keeper, Captain Richard Etheridge, Meekins set off a coston signal, a signal made by using lamps of different colors. Together, the two men searched the darkness for a reply. A few moments later, they saw a flash of light to the south and knew a shop was in distress (遇险). Even before the return signal burned out, Etheridge had summoned his men and begun rescue operations.
For the lifesavers, the rescue of the Newman was nothing unusual. Over the years, so many ships had foundered off the Outer Banks that sailors called the region the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Noting the dangerous surf and wind conditions, Captain Etheridge quickly decided the surf boats would be impossible to control. Instead, he decided to use another way to help the survivors.
The crew set off on the long journey down the beach to the scene of the wreck (海滩). Captain Etheridge hoped to fire a line from a gun to the ship’s mast (船桅). After the ship’s crew dragged the line onboard, the surfmen would fire a second line and carry survivors safely to shore.
The surfmen crossed three miles of sand to reach the ship Newman. The water was freezing, and the men often sank up to their knees in sand. Captain Etheridge noted in his diary that “the voice of gladdened hearts greeted the arrival of the station crew,” but that “it seemed impossible for them to do anything under such circumstances. The work was often stopped by the sweeping current.”
Even when the rescue equipment proved useless, Etheridge refused to give up. Choosing two of his strongest surfmen, he tied rope lines around their waists and sent them into the water. The two men, holding a line from shore, walked with huge effort as far as they could before diving through the waves. Nearly worn out while swimming against the tide, they finally made it to the shore.
The first to be rescued were the captain’s wife and child. With the two passengers tied to their backs, the surfmen fought their way back to shore. Taking turns, Etheridge and his crew made ten trips to the Newman, saving every person onboard. It was 1:00 a.m. when the crew and survivors finally made it back to the station.
That night, as the exhausted survivors lay sleeping and his lifesaving crew rested, Captain Etheridge picked up his pen, and in the light of an oil lantern, wrote with satisfaction that all the people onboard had been saved and were “sheltered in this station”—words he would remember for many years to come.
小题1:The beach patrols were canceled because ________.
A.Meekins paid enough attention to the horizon
B.there was too much spray on the windows
C.the winds and tide were too strong
D.there was no ship near the station
小题2:The underlined word “foundered” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “___________”.
A.stoppedB.sankC.sailedD.arrived
小题3:What was the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To warn sailors of the dangers of hurricanes.
B.To create a story describing a rescue at sea.
C.To inform people about Richard Etheridge.
D.To record the details about the Newman.
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The newman was very dangerous before Richard Etheridge and his team members saw the signal.
B.A terrible hurricane took place off the coast of North Carolina and threatened the lives of many sailors.
C.At no other time in American history have so many shipwrecked passengers survived such a violent storm.
D.All the passengers of a shipwreck were rescued because of heroic the efforts of a special leader and his crew.

It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does ------.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply stimulates(刺激)our spending and discourages saving.
小题1:From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.
A.everyone’s incomes rise
B.money will hold its value
C.we can watch our money grow
D.money constantly loses its value
小题2:.In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.
A.inflation maybe still be a problem
B.we have nothing to worry about
C.inflation is no longer a problem
D.we will become richer and richer
小题3:.Under inflation people are likely to ________.
A.go to the bank more often than usual
B.save more money since their incomes rise
C.spend money quickly rather than to save it
D.keep money at home instead of going to banks
小题4:.We can conclude according to the passage that ________.
A.the writer is a government official
B.the writer is worried about inflation
C.the writer encourages people to spend money
D.the writer has become richer because of inflation
小题5:. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?
