题目内容

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.

“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”

The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.

“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread（散布） a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo（弥补） the wrong.”

试题分析：这篇文章讲述了一个女人向很多人散播了她邻居的谣言使邻居深受伤害，几天之后，她发现这个谣言不是真的，所以她感到很抱歉想弥补她犯下的错。但是，通过邻居让她做的事情，她知道了散播谣言很容易，一旦做了之后，就永远不可能完全弥补错误了。

1.细节题。根据第一段大意：这个女人散播了很多关于邻居的谣言，使邻居受到很深的伤害，后来他知道了他散播的那个事情完全不是真的，所以他感到很抱歉。故选B

2.推断题。A. surprised惊讶 B. excited 兴奋 C. upset心烦 D. pleased高兴根据第四段she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away.这个女人发现所有的羽毛都已经被风吹走了，可推断出，她的感受肯定是不好的。结合题目，可知upset符合文章。A,B,D选项都不符合。故选C

3.细节判断题。根据第一段The neighbor was deeply hurt.邻居被深深的伤害了。故A错误。文章没有提到这个明智的男人不够和善。故B错误。根据第四段After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.寻找了几个小时之后，她只找到了3支羽毛。故C错误。根据文章中邻居让这个女人的做的事情，她知道了散播谣言容易，一旦做了，想要弥补犯下的错误则很难。故选D

4.推断题。根据最后一段It doesn’t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”这个明智的男人说散播谣言不需要花费太多，但是一旦做了，你永远不可能完全弥补犯下的错。这句话在汉语里有个成语是“覆水难收”。故选A

In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.

Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
