They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or fou
23、r minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas. “Only when you have fallen asleep, which is equal to turnin
24、g the television set off, can you get separated from the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”As for the ride itself, the beginning of it is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things are keeping changing out of the windows various houses, cro
25、p fields, attractive bridges, and sometimes even a small accident. Your bus driver may have a unique style of driving and its fun trying experience it the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as an adventurous story. Will the
26、driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food y
27、ou eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know the riding will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement with that. The seat, of course, has become harder for the hours having passed. By now you may
28、sit with your legs crossed, or with your hands in your lap, or with your hands on the arms, or even with your hands crossed behind your head. That is to say that the end comes just at no more ways to sit.46. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus tri

32、ter thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are .A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boringBWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I
33、suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didnt stay at B&B (bed and breakfast) houses,” they
34、said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house w
35、here the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result,
36、 they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road s
37、ign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, their car was soon stopped. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However , to my surprise
38、 the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you”.51. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _. A. learning English in England B. finding places to stay in England C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England to have fun52. I suggested th
39、at they stay at B&B houses because _. A. it would be available for them to practise English B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner D. it would be easy to find accommodation there53. “NO VACANCIES” in English means _. A. no free rooms B. w
40、ith free rooms C. not away on holiday D. no holidays at all54. If you see a road sign that says “DIVERSION”, you will _.

A. didnt really want any more coffee B. wanted the coffee pot taken away C. really wanted some more coffee D. wanted to express my politeness CA child, who has once got interested in a tale, likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same wo
42、rds, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to “tell” a story than just “read” it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce his own as an improvement on the printed text, according to his childs actual situation, so much the better
43、. There is a charge made against some fairy tales, as they probably harm children by frightening them or leaving them sad feelings. To prove it, an experiment has been done to show that children who have heard terrible fairy stories often feel more uneasy than those who have not. As for fears, there
44、 are some cases where children get timid (胆怯的) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition may weaken the pain of fear.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that the stories are not o
45、bjectively true, and that those giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets etc. do not really exist, so children should be taught to learn the reality by studying history, instead of being got fond of the strange side in fairy tales. Those, who prefer to create such stories, are so peculiar
46、(奇怪的) that it is hard to argue with them. If their creative exaggeration (夸张) were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.Not once is a fairy story e
47、ver declared to be a description of the real world, but not every child is clever enough to be aware of it. Parents should choose their childrens “bed-time” reading materials with much care. Only the fairy stories containing positive effect will make a clever and caring child with rich imagination.

49、erested B. great fear can take place in him C. he will like it to be repeated D. an experiment is being done58. The word “sound” in Para.3 can be understood as _. A. fashionable B. forgettable C. available D. believable 59. The author mentions “sticks” and “telephones” to prove that _.A. fairy stori
