Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is  26   for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same   27  night after night. One would  28   them to know their parts by heart and   29   have cause to falter(结巴).Yet   30 is not always the case.

A famous actor in a  31  successful play was once cast in the role of a noble  32  had been imprisoned(关押) in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act,a gaoler(狱卒)would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.   33   the noble was expected to read the letter at each   34 , he always insisted that it should be written out in full.

One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke  35   his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the  36   of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed(使显露)the noble sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then,the gaoler   37  with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the  38  and presented the letter to the noble. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in  39   as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly,  40   to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then,squinting his eyes,he said, “The light is  41  . Read the letter to me.” And he quickly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.   42  that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied, “The light is indeed dim, sir. I must get my  43 .” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the noble's  44  ,the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the  45   copy of the letter which he proceeded(继续进行)to read to the prisoner.

阅读下面短文并做每篇后面的题目。从在 A , B , C , D 四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

A

Ben

When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago my boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future.” What did he mean? I simply didn’t know. Any way, I decided to go to evening classes. I’m quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

Eve

I haven’t much interest in studying. To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of things. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmers very carefully. I’m particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

Ted

I’m a very active sort of person—I simply love doing things. That’s why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch them a TV, but I do read quite a bit about them. I’m even interested in the history of sports. I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I like dancing a lot. Some people say I’m not very good at it, though.

Joan

I should say I have great interest in studying. I’d rather do this than anything else. Since I left school, I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week,, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way. My latest “craze”—if you can call it that – is foreign languages. I’m learning two, not one!

46. These four people are talking about what they do ______.

A. in their free time  B. at school  C. to be proud of themselves  D. to get some extra pay

47. Among the four people, _______ are considered to have made good use of time in studying.

A. Ben and Eve   B. Eve and Ted      C. Ted and Joan      D. Ben and Joan

Look on the brighter side

EVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2,601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.

But, there's another side. SARS is a reminder of how fragile (脆弱的) life can be. Suddenly, it's not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.

Wang Xinying, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shansi Province, came into contact (接触) with a suspected (疑似) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. “Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I'm going to treasure every single day,” he said.

SARS teaches people to be grateful (感激), not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected (被感染的) patients. As a result, more than 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers.

Xu Bing, a Senior 2 student of Beijing NO.5 Middle School wants to be a doctor when he grows up. “Although they certainly know of the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated (致力于) to saving people's lives. I'm deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes,” he said.

SARS also teaches sympathy (同情). The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on September 11.

And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to deal with this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned great lessons.

(From 21 st Century, April 28,2003)

51. The story of Wang Xiying is given in the passage mainly to________.

A. tell us the hardship of life             B. tell us the fragileness of life

C. tell us the treatment of SARS          D. tell us the joy of life

53. Among the infected patients by SARS, which of the following is most?

A. Students.      B. Doctors and nurses.     C. Workers.      D. Officials.

54. The writer tells us of the bright side for SARS in _______ ways.

A. two          B. seven                   C. four         D. five

Our little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron( 围裙 ), she read it, and this is what it said:

For going to the store for you $ 0.5.

For cutting the grass in the garden $ 4.00.

For cleaning up the yard this week $ 3.00.

For cleaning up my room this week $ 2.00.

For setting the table for meals this week $ 1.00.

For baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping $ 1.50.

For getting a good report card $ 5.00.

Total owed( 欠 ): $ 17.00.

Well, I’ll tell you, his mother looked at him standing there with expectation, and boy, I could see the memories flashing through her mind. So, she picked up the pen, turned over the paper he had written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me, No Charge.

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored you and prayed for you, No Charge.

For all the trying times and all the tears that you've caused through the years, there's No Charge.

When you add it all up, the cost of my love is No Charge.

For all the nights that were filled with fear, and for the worries I knew were ahead, No Charge.

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping up, the full cost of real love is No Charge, Son.

Well, friends, when our son finished reading what his mother had written, there were great big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight up at his mother and said: “ Mom, I sure do love you. ” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “ PAID IN FULL ”

55. What might the mother be doing when the boy came into the kitchen?

A. Getting the supper ready.            B. Repairing the cooker.

C. Washing the dishes.                D. Setting the table for supper.

Snake dishes have become popular in recent years. Snake meat in various flavors (风味) is often seen in restaurant advertisements. It seems that eating snake is now in vogue (盛行), and if you haven't eaten snake yet, you are considered “out of date”. But I wonder whether all of the trends (赶时髦) are worth following.

Some people may defend themselves by saying that snake meat is nutritious (营养的). But these people don't realize that mice and worms (虫) often comprise (包含) a snake's diet, therefore, there are many parasites (寄生虫) found inside snakes. Thus, they may do harm to our health. Besides this, I’m sorry to see that more and more snakes are being killed by man’s cruel knife. According to the English newspaper Shanghai Star, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day.

These figures change us that if we still continue movement against snakes, a vicious( 恶性的 ) cycle will be created (产生). If more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, which will make an increase in mice and worms population, which will result in a decrease of crop output. This will make more people hungry.

Who will see such tragedy (悲剧) happen ?

So let's start not to eat snakes any more because “to protect the snakes is to protect ourselves”.

58. This passage tries to advise people _________.

A. to keep ourselves healthy         B. to protect snakes and not to eat them

C. to protect mice and worms       D. not to eat mice and worms

59. What will happen if we continue eating snakes?

A. More snakes will be eaten.                  B. A vicious cycle will be created.

C. More people will turn blind eyes to it.          D. Mice will damage the crops.

60. The vicious cycle may be like this: _______.

A. more snakes → more mice and worms → less crop output

B. less snakes → more nice and worms → more crop output

C. less snakes → more mice and worms → less crop output

D. more snakes → less mice and worms → more crop output.

Welcome to the traffic news. A message for drivers going north up the M1. A major accident has happened near the gas station named Northampton on the road. A truck and four cars knocked into each other and the traffic is not moving at all. The police are trying to get it in order. Drivers going north have to take the A508. The other side of the road is clear, so no problem for drivers going south. I’ll just repeat that message. An accident near the gas station named Northampton on the M1 is blocking the traffic. Drivers going north should take the A508. Drivers going down the M5 please drive slowly as the part between the airport and the railway station is still being widened. The whole work will be finished in three more days. Then the traffic in this area will be much faster.

That’s all the traffic news for now, and thanks for listening. Next news at 2 o’clock. Until then, drive carefully.
