(阅读理解)Having returned from her round trip(往返旅程), the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station.“The railway owes me￡12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office.“You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night.So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel.It cost me ￡12.”

Harry was worried.He remembered selling the woman a return ticket.“Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely.“I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside.She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered.There was no sailing on May 22nd.How could he have made such a careless mistake？ He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day.Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child.“You look sun burnt,” he said to her.“Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey？”

“Yes,” she answered, shyly.“The beach was lovely.And I can swim too!”

“That’s fine,” said Harry.“My little girl can’t swim a bit yet.Of course, she’s only three…”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly.“I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother.“I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said.“But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you？”

“Er, well——” the woman looked at the child.“I mean...she hasn’t started school yet.She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam.A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…￡13.50.So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe￡1.50.The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

Passage 2 Questions 1to 5 are based on the following passage:

Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.

As Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing states of the South. The Northern States has ended slavery. Yet most northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South.

Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting r six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom’s Cabin first came in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.

People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War, which lasted until of cease, was made to happen by many things. Yet Uncle Tom’s Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Linclon in 1862. As Linclon took her hand, he said, “So you are the woman who starred the big war.”

1 One of the good things for men in women's liberation is that men no longer have to pay

women the old-fashioned courtesies.

2 In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. "Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily."

3 She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk. "Historically, the man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside — because that's where attackers are all hiding these days."

4 As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.

5 It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, a woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.

6 It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.

7 "Well," my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."

8 "Did what？" I asked, utterly confused.

9 "Took the chair."

10 Actually, since I'd walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.

11 Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.

It can be concluded from the passage that______.

A．men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk.

B．women are becoming more capable than before.

C．in women's liberation men are also liberated.

D．it's safe to break rules of social behaviour.

第7题

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very

important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends. People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal(非语言的) communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out(突出) of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean？A. The home matters greatly to Englishmen

B. The castle is more important than the home

C. The home is more important than the castle

D. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castle

Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes？A.They can make changes in houses in which they live

B.They love houses more than gardens

C.They can own private space like the house and the garden

D.They can keep the private space to themselves and friends

According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means:__________A.you want to spread your towels around you further

B.you want to put your coat on the table

C.you can find no space for your books on the seat

D.you wait to tell others the space belongs to you

The writer tried to get back his space by__________A.moving the case off the table

B.taking all his papers out

C.taking up the space of the man opposite

D.showing the books concerned to the man

How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table？A.He sat in a section for four people

B.He placed his briefcase on the table

C.He was traveling on a train to London

D.He was reading a book
