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 sunburnt,"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 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 for your hotel,you will owe 1.50.The law is the law,but since it's me who made the mistake…"

分析 这篇短文中的女士因为售票员给错了她票而指责售票员,结果在售票员与小女孩的对话中得知小女孩没有买票就坐了火车,从而改变了自己被动的局面,让那位女士知难而退.

解答 21.B 细节理解题.根据短文第一段的Shewas quite right,as Harry soon discovered.There was no sailing on May 22nd.How could he have made such a carelessmistake?He shouldn'thave sold her a ticket for that day.她很对,因为Harry很快发现,5月22日没有船航行,他怎么会犯这么粗心的错误呢?他不该把那天的车票卖给她.故选B.
22.A 细节理解题.根据短文第一段的Wonderingwhat to do,he smiled at the child."You look sunburnt,"he said to her."Did you have a nice holiday inJersey?"不知道做什么,他笑着对孩子说:"你看起来晒黑了,"他对她说,"你在Jersey有一个愉快的假期吗?可知他此时不知道该如何做.故选A.
23.D 句意理解题.根据上文可知,那位女士和女儿住宿花了12美元,小女孩的票是13.5美元,如果铁路支付她的酒店费用,她将欠1.50美元.根据字面意思:法律是法律,但因为是我犯了错误…,所以画线句子的意思是:因为他犯了一个错误,她可以不付钱就走.故选D.
24.D 推理判断题.通过短文后半部分描述,可知这个小女孩没有买票就坐了火车,所以如果那位女士再坚持的话,她就得给小女孩补票.故选D.

点评 本文浅显易懂,层次分明,学生很容易把握文中中心内容.答题中注意带着问题阅读短文,一般就能顺利找出答题依据.对于不能直接找到根据的问题注意联系上下文,根据短文中心总结出正确答案.

9.One sixth of undergraduates (本科生) in  Beijing this year have registered at a driving school.The students,mostly from majors such as business management or international trade,will finish there driving courses within 20 days or so.
Training costs have dropped to,2,600yuan for students,according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing.The price is not really low,but students will accept it,seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future.Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job.But a driver's permit has become another factor.
"In the job market,owning a driver's permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student's competitiveness for a good position,"says Zhou Yang,an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.
Cars will become a necessary part of many people's lives in the coming years,and it's difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people's time."Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive.We senior students have plenty of spare time,plenty of opportunities to learn."
Xu Jian,an official at the driving school,said undergraduates were very able and serious,and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn.In this driving school,middle-aged people,young women and college students are the main customers.
To get a driver's permit,a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours'practice before the final road test.
21.The undergraduates are learning to drive because.B
A.they like to drive cars
B.they need this skill to find a good job.
C.most of them will be able to buy cars in the future
D.they want to become full-time drivers after graduation
22.Which of the following is Xu Jian's opinion of students learning to drive?D
A.He decided it was a waste of money and time.
B.He thought they must learn it at school.
C.He thought they would spend three times more time.
D.He agreed that young people had an advantage in learning to drive.
23.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A
A.Students Learn to Drive    
B.Welcome to Driving School
C.It's Better to Learn to Drive at College
D.Students Pay Less to Learn to Drive Now.
6.When thinking about placing a human being in space,one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment.The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time.The fierce heat of the sun can cause serious burns.The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand(扩大) and even burst.With no oxygen to breathe,a human being will die in only a few moments.Radiation from the sun is another risk in space.So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids (陨石).
In 1933,an American flyer,Wiley Post,designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights.It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot's head.Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s.The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post.
Today,astronauts wear very different protective clothing.It lets them move,do useful tasks,and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours.The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU.It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits.
The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand,which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly.
Nowadays,NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars.Because of the gravity on Mars,spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon.The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars.And,they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet.
32.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment?C
A.Lack of oxygen.
B.Fierce heat from the sun.
C.Gases in the body.
D.Radiation from the sun.
33.Which of the following statements is true,according to this passage?B
A.Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts.
B.Astronauts in earlier spacesuits had difficulty in moving,doing useful tasks and so on.
C.EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands.
D.Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars.
34.The underlined word"endure"meansC.
A.provide     B.move     C.last    D.live
35.The best title of the passage might beD.
A.Space explorationB.Astronauts'flights
C.The Advantages of Spacesuits D.The Development of Spacesuits.
7.Our character,(41)A,is a combination of our habits."Sow a thought,harvest an action; sow an action,harvest a habit; sow a habit,harvest a character; sow a character,harvest a(42)C,"the saying goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives.Because they are consistent,often unconscious  (43)B,they constantly,daily express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann,the great educator,once (44)Bit,"Habits are like a rope.We weave a string of it every day and soon it cannot be broken."I personally do not agree with the last part of his (45)C.I know habits can be learned and unlearned.But I also know it isn't a(an) (46)Cfix.It involves a(47)Aand a faithful commitment.
