AMy wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits at the front and never replies to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape showed that she’d given birth to the child. We even felt a litt le proud at the thought of our extended family.For many months, our only sadness lay in our being unable to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.We greeted（打招呼）her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped from her lips with difficulty. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled（残疾的）son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him very much, she explained.“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she spoke in a low voice. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.31. All the following words can be used to describe the woman except ________.A. poorB. silentC. coldD. shy32. The underlined word “establish” in the fourth paragraph probably has the same meaning as________.A. set upB. add upC. pack upD. come up33. Why did the woman usually keep silence while taking the bus?A. She was worried about her disabled son.B. She had difficulty in expressing herself.C. She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple as a single mother.D. She was only interested in the bus driver.34. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A. The Silent Woman on the BusB. Friends on the RoadC. Going to Work by BusD. Different Kinds of FriendshipBAm I expected to learn both American English and British English vocabulary? Yes，and add to that Australian English．And any other variety that is useful for your needs．If you plan to study in the United Kingdom，or work for a British company, then obviously you will need to spend more time on British English(BrE). If you plan to work in the United States，then you will need to pay attention to American English (AmE).However, let’s make the task a little easier for you．Some differences in BrE／AmE vocabulary are more difficult to deal with than others．(See the following chart.)Besides the categories(种类)on the chart，there is another category which could be described as unguessable，but the words are less important to learn. Such differences as aubergine/eggplant, spring onion/scallion, 1ug／pitcher may be interesting, but you should not give them priority as they are lessCategory BrE AmE35. When a man says “In the fall，my wife bought me a few more pants”, we know that he is probablyfromA. AustraliaB. BritainC. AmericaD. New Zealand36. When someone says “He’s engaged．Don’t bother him，or he’11 get angry．”，in AmE it means“He’s. Don’t bother him，or he’11 get”．A. studying；madB. married; angryC. mad；busyD. busy；mad37. What does the underlined Word “priority” in the passage mean?A. Earlier timeB. Special attentionC. UnimportanceD. No price38. What is the writer’s attitude towards the categories of English vocabulary?A. He prefers British English to American English.B. He prefers American English to British English.C. He pays special attention to only American and British English.D. He believes that we should learn all kinds of English so long as they are useful for you.39. He tries to make knowing different kinds of English words a little easier for us by ____.A. using a chartB. taking examplesC. making the spelling easierD. being humorousCChildren have their own rules in playing games. They seldom（很少）need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game s exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such easy games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for veryimportant reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.40. What is true about children when they play games?A. They can stop playing any time they like.B. They can test their personal abilities.C. They want to pick a better team.D. They don’t need rules.41.

Because he can be someone other than himself.B. Because he can become popular among friends.C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.44. The writer believes that ____________ .A. children should make better rules for their gamesB. children should invite grown-ups to play with themC. children’s games can do them a lot of goodD. children play games without reasons第二节：任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Vince, Jason, Rosa, Danny和Donna各自打算参加学校的一个俱乐部。
