）Passage OneMy grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart ，because when I was young(and he was old)，he gave me presents ，and seated me on his knees ，and told me stories ，but I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.At school ，when he walked into a room full of noisy boys ，there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes ，that boy went red in the face ，and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor ，careless work ，which was not the best that boy could do ，my grandfather picked up the boy’s book and threw it across the room ，shouting ，“Do i t all again ，and bring it back early in the morning ！”If the boy was late ，or if he forgot to bring the work ，he had to do it again and again ，and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.1．I know my grandfather was kind and gentle ，because________.A ．he was the headmaster of a boys’ schoolB ．he gave me presents and told me storiesC ．he told me stories about how kind he wasD ．he never scolded me2．When he looked at a boy in a certain way ，that boy________.A ．went red in the face and could not return my grandfather’s lookB ．looked back at my grandfather’s red faceC ．changed another oneD ．went red in the face because his shoes were dirty3．My grandfather didn’t like to receive________.A ．worse work than he could do himselfB ．work that the boys could not doC ．work that was not as good as the boys could doD ．the work that the boys did4．When he received poor work ，my grandfather________.A．shouted at the boy and threw his work across the roomB．went red in faceC．threw the book on the floor，and shouted across the roomD．threw the book at the boy5．He was a different man at home because________.A．he didn’t get angry at school as he did at homeB．he was not as gentle as at homeC．he didn’ t throw books about at school like he did at homeD．he didn’t usually get angry at home参考答案：B A C A DPassage TwoAs a reader，I，as many other book lovers do，often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore. The prices printed on book jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.The price of books is now so high that I hesitate before buying a book I love. Many people feel the same way. But I remember that only a few years ago，when I was a college student，I bought several books almost every month，using what was left out of the living expenses sent by my parents，and that was not more than 200 yuan.But now that I am working and the money I earn is only used to support my own expenses，I find I can’t afford many good books.There is a saying，“Book l overs have no money，but rich people have no feelings for books.” This is exactly the case. Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for，especially those books with beautiful hard covers.It is said that usually，the listed price is more than twi ce as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits from selling books. But now there is a contradiction.On one hand，readers who want to buy books aren’t able to，while on the other hand，publishers and sellers suffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in their warehouses. This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual property right protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some book stands.The key to resolve the problem is to cut the price to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.I wish sincerely that in the near future common readers like me could buy the books we want without worrying about the high prices too much.1．The first paragraph of this article tells us that________.A．the prices of some books are too highB．many readers are too poor to buy expensive booksC．the writer is one of those who can’t afford to buy booksD．all the above are correct2．The writer ________at college.A．often bought books when studyingB．was very rich when studyingC．was living a very simple lifeD．hesitated to buying anything but books3．“Book lovers have no money，but rich people have no feelings for books.” means________.A．those who like reading maybe have not enough money to buy booksB．those who don’t want to study otherwise are very richC．everything in the world has been changed to its oppositeD．both A and B4．From the fifth paragraph，we can see________.A．publishers shouldn’t have set the prices of books so highB．booksellers can hardly earn their living by selling booksC．it’s no good for publishers and sellers if the prices are too high D．the high prices of books were set by many factors5．The writer of this article wished________.A．the prices of books could be acceptableB．the prices of books would be lowC．the prices of books would be lowered down soonD．he could buy books without worrying about the prices参考答案：A A D C A。
