She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.“I suppose I had better go to

26、the doctor,” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem.“Im not at all surprised,” he said. “Its clear what your problem is.” He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you dont do what I say, Mrs. Parker” he said, “then you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.”Elle

27、n was very worried as she left the doctors. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and that it would take time.The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butchers (卖肉的)shop. “Id like ten pounds of steak, please,” she said. “Certainly, madam,” t

28、he butcher replied and went into the cold storage room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale(盘称). “Thats just under ten pounds,” he said.“Thats big enough,” Mrs. Parker said.The butcher worked out the price. “At $4.99 a poun

29、d that will be $45.50 please. Shall I cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”“Oh, I dont want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said. “If you dont want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “why did you ask me to get it for you?”“My doctor told me that I am overweight and must lose 10 pounds. I wante

30、d to see what 10 pounds of flesh(肉)looked like.”51.

What did the doctor think might happen to Ellen?A. She might put on more weight.B. She might stop eating too much.C. She might have a

32、 heart attack.D. She might go to another doctor.BThe hit movie Notting Hill (诺丁山）begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into (撞到)Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision (碰撞), Grant repeatedly says: “I am so sorry. I am so sorry”.His behavior in this scene is ver

33、y British. If Roberts character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well even if the collision was not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when

34、they bump into someone in the street - regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for a while

35、 as we compete over who is the most sorry.Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.How we use “sorry” has changed. Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “What?” to “Whatever!”.Why are Britons so sorry? Mar

36、k Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that our apologetic tendencies (倾向)are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. Another theory is th

37、at we apologize to avoid confrontation (对抗). For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we say “Sorry!” right away.True manners are about being considerate (体贴的),and the modern day obsession (执着)with apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once we

38、re. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.55. The author mentions a scene in the hit movie Notting Hill at the beginning to _.A. introduce different ways of saying sorryB. give an example of British mannersC. show what kind of men are con

39、sidered gentlemen in the UKD. draw our attention to how and when British people say sorry56. Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?A. Americans care less about manners than British people do.B. The fact British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.C. Britis

40、h people care too much about which social class they are from.D. People shouldnt apologize if they are not responsible.57. We can conclude from the article that the author thinks _.A. its unnecessary for British people to be so politeB. the obsession with apologizing shows Britons are truly sincereC

41、. Britons should stick to the traditional use of the word sorryD. the change of how British people use sorry is because of language development58. What is the main point of the article?A. To explore the best way of saying sorry. B. Britons overuse of sorry and why.C. To suggest many British people l

42、ack traditional manners.D. To show how saying sorry has changed over time.CI work in a US factory that produces 4,500 refrigerators every day. There was one worker in this huge factory who always seemed just a little strange. Ive seen him around for years but never paid him much attention. He is sho

43、rt and scruffy (不整洁的)and walks around this big old factory on his breaks collecting aluminum cans (铝罐).Over the years I often ran into him as he walked to his old pickup truck on the coldest days with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets. He would b

44、e there with a garbage bag full of aluminum cans. Hed toss (扔)it into the back of his truck and jump in. Id reach my car and jump in and wed all race to the exit of this big half-empty parking lot.One day I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag, picking

45、 up cans. Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been “down” for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of parts for one of the assembly lines (装配线).As I was finishing, I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all

46、those cans. Id never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he cashed them in at the recycling center.“I give them to my neighbor. Hes epileptic (有癫痫病的),” the can man said.“You mean youve been collecting all those cans for all these years for your neighbor?” I blurted out.“It

47、s not much,” he said. “But I give them to him. He cant hold a job.”Right then and there I found myself looking straight at him. He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red baseball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand. I dont even know his name, but I thank him for the lesson h

48、e taught me.59. How did the author like the can man at first?A. He found the man very kind hearted.B. He didnt like making friends with the man.C. He thought it would be better to stay away from the man.D. He thought the man was strange because he was always collecting cans.60. What does the underli

50、e boss was angry seeing the man always picking up cans.D. The author admired the can man when he knew the truth.62. What does the author intend to tell us with the story?A. Never judge a person by his appearance. B. Helping your neighbor is helping yourself.C Its good to observe, but even better to

51、ask. D. Never look down on a small kindness.DThe loveliest house that I have ever lived in was one that my grandparents owned. This house was called Crosslands and I lived there when I was a child.I had some very happy times at Crosslands. It seemed so big to me as a child. It had a beautiful living

52、 room with a piano in it and a hall area with lots of carpets and antiques (古董). And there was a mysterious drawing room which we only used on Sundays or on special occasions.I used to be amazed by this room because it had the best furniture in it but it was covered up with sheets (床单).It was as if

53、all the furniture was wearing clothes and it seemed ridiculous (荒谬的)to me that we couldn enjoy this lovely furniture all week long.My favorite room was probably the kitchen. It had a lovely red floor, which was always polished, and one big cooker to heat the whole room so it was always warm. There w

54、as also a kind of clotheshorse(晒衣架)above it that we used to hang all our stuff on, and it was just lovely. It was a very warm room and my grandmother used to make ice cream that wed eat there.I spent a lot of time in the vegetable garden, picking peas and eating them. My grandmother used to get real

55、ly cross with me because I would pick all the vegetables and fruit for dinner, but eat half of it before she could start cooking. The homegrown food tasted so fresh and delicious.I went back to Crosslands a few years ago and it was a big mistake. Theyve modernized the house and got rid of those love

56、ly old fireplaces. Theyve also knocked a wall down so the drawing room and living room have become one big modem room. I think what upset me most about going back was the feeling that the house had shrunk (缩小). It had become smaller and my memory of this lovely, large, warm, comfortable house was co

57、mpletely different. It taught me a valuable lesson: we cant always recapture (再体验) the past but at least we can keep the beautiful memories of it with us.63.

60、k it was a mistake to go back to the house?A. The house was in a terrible condition.B. She didnt want to recapture the past.C. She preferred to keep it in her sweet memory.D. The house wasnt what she remembered it to be.EBritish people, writes BBC reporter Denise Winterman, were brought up on the id

61、ea of three square meals a day being a normal eating pattern (模式),but this is changing.Family dinner around a table, according to Winterman, is in decline (衰落)and the UK is not the only country experiencing such change.A traditional English breakfast includes sausages, bacon, fried eggs, mushrooms,

62、baked beans, fried tomatoes, and toast with butter. However, these days most people dont eat a traditional breakfast every day, or even at all. This is because it is very greasy (油腻的). Most people eat a bowl of cereal with milk, or have a slice of toast with butter to start the day.Take a look at a

63、typical British Sunday. For millions of Britons, Sundays have gone from quiet church-going and housework days, to days of happy shopping and socializing. People get up later and eat brunch at pubs. Fewer people bother to cook for themselves.As for lunch, sandwiches dominate (占主导). Today the average

64、time taken to eat lunch - usually in front of a computeris about 15 minutes, according to researchers at the University of Westminster.According to the British Sandwich Association, a sandwich is a popular lunch choice for 75 percent or Britons. People in the country buy about 3 billion ready-made s

65、andwiches a year, meaning each Briton eats about 200 sandwiches annually.Dinner is the main meal of the day, and a time for people to relax and enjoy a cooked meal with friends or family after a hard day at work. But when the first microwave meal came on to the market in 1986, the family dinner bega
