20．Three boys and three girls boarded a bus to Lauderdale，Florida，dreaming of golden beaches．When the bus passed through New Jersey，they began to notice Vingo，who sat in front of them，dressed in a plain，ill-fitting suit．
Deep into the night，the bus pulled into Howard Johnson Restaurant，and everybody got off except Vingo．He sat rooted in his seat，and the young people began to wonder：perhaps he was a sea captain，a runaway from his wife，an old soldier going home．
Shortly after a snack，they went back to the bus and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself．
After a while，slowly and painfully，he told his story．He had been in prison in New York for the past four years．Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home．
"When in prison I wrote to my wife，"he said．"I told her that I was going to be away a long time，and that if she couldn't stand it，she could just forget me； I'd understand．We used to live in Brunswick，and there's a big oak tree just as you come into town．Last week，I wrote her again．I told her that if she'd take me back，she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree，and I'd get off and come home．If she didn't want me，forget it and I'd go on through．"
She told the others，and soon all of them were in it，waiting for the approach of the great oak tree．Then，suddenly，all of the young people were up out of their seats，screaming and crying，doing small dances of joy．The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs，20of them，30of them，maybe hundreds，a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind．As the young people shouted，Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home．
56．What attracted the six young people when their bus passed through New Jersey？B

17．I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10years．The course is one of the most popular in the prison．Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in．
One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people，because animals don't judge them．They trust animals in ways they don't with humans．
Yet，they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another．Many admit that their own"animal behavior"is what got them into trouble in the first place．I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom，there is also a lot of cooperation（合作）and sympathy．
Many of the students want to build healthy relationships，and they find that the class helps them．I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining（维持）friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group．
It's clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope．I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane（人道）societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations．One went on to receive a master's degree in nature writing．
Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done．It opens the door to understanding，trust，cooperation and hope．There's a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot，if only they could have access to it．The class helps me，too．I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher．
25．The author's course is welcomed by the prisoners becauseC．
A．they consider animals their best friends
B．they are curious about animal kingdom
C．they feel it easier to get along with animals
D．they are more familiar with animal behavior
26．The author used wolves as an example toC．
A．provide the prisoners with more knowledge
B．explain the cruel side of group-living animals
C．help the prisoners realize the importance of teamwork
D．inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble
27．We can infer from the text that some prisonersA．
A．have turned over a new leaf
B．are required to attend the course
C．are willing to learn working skills
D．prefer humane education to science．

4．University accommodation （住所） offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords （房东）．Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization．The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem．The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students．
Property papers：Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source （来源） of information about private housing for corenters．The offers are from private landlords，agencies and individuals looking for other corenters．They also have a website：www．loot．com．The advantage of using Loot is that there is some economical private housing．The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers．
Renting is another useful paper．The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies．Their website is www．renting．couk．
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies．The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations．If you are lucky to find a good one，he/she will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation．The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters．
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted．These will either be from landlords or from students．Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students．Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation．However，advertisements from landlords can be problematic．
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth．It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students．However，don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source．
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London，some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative．In some cases this might be a good choice．
64．What is the advantage of using Loot？D
A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting．
B．It gives you personal information about other corenters．
C．Their website is designed mainly for students．
D．There are some good bargains．
65．A good agent can help youC．
A．know more people
B．find cheap accommodation
C．get the right accommodation quickly
D．get free information about most accommodations
66．The information passed on by word of mouth is important becauseB．
A．it is better than that found through any other source
B．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C．the final year students always offer better information
D．the landlords have little valuable information
67．Which of the following provides the most reliable information for students looking for accommodation？A
A．University accommodation offices．
B．Family．
C．Noticeboards．
D．Property papers：Loot and Renting．

14．http://www．motivateus．com/stories/the-miracle-granted．htm
The phone ID flashed，"Emergency Vet"．"Oh no"I whispered．I could not lose Merlin now．
Ron and I had tried to have children for a long time with depressing results．I threw myself into my work．Any maternal feelings I had were spent on Merlin．
I couldn't wait to get home from work each night．I wanted to pick up that warm bundle of loving fur and nestle him．I wanted to sing"Rock-a-bye Merlin"，as I did every night as he would put his paws around my neck．
Merlin was my comfort especially at times when I wondered if God was listening．But last night something had changed．Not only did I sing"Rock-a-Bye Merlin"，but I asked，"What will I do after you're gone？"
Although Merlin was 19years old，a senior in the age of a cat，he didn't look or act that way．I didn't want to accept the fact that he was nearing the end of his lifetime．My job at the law firm was so demanding and stressful that I couldn't imagine getting through the day without Merlin waiting to greet me at home．
I dialed the vet's number．I asked for my husband but he already left．Then I took a breath and asked the question that no one wants to ask，"Is my Merlin still alive？"The nurse said"yes．"
Ron came home and said that Merlin had almost no red blood cells left．White blood cells were replacing them．Merlin would need expensive transfusions most likely on a monthly basis．We both knew Merlin was running out of time．I asked Ron to drive me to the vet so I could say goodbye to my little boy cat but he was beat tired and it was late．Ron said if Merlin was still alive the next morning then he would take me to the vet．
The next morning I called the vet． Merlin had survived the night．
After driving to the vet，I went into the examining room．The nurse brought Merlin and placed him on an examining table on his side．His eyes were tightly shut．I thought he died already．I carefully edged my hand to reach his body．His body felt warm，but when I spoke his name there was no response．No response to his name or that I was there and that I loved him．I was extremely sad．
In that examining room I felt helpless．I wondered how many people in an examining room felt as helpless as I did．
Feeling driven to prayer I yelled，"God this isn't good enough．I need to see my Merlin the way I remember him，I need a miracle and I need it now!"
At that moment，God granted a miracle．Merlin's favorite compliment entered my mind．I said，"Merlin，You are Beautiful and You are Gorgeous，do you hear me？"
One eye opened．
I said"Gotcha"．I kept repeating those words．
Merlin opened the other eye and，one limb at a time，got up．He was waiting for that phrase．He wanted to hear that he was beautiful and gorgeous again．
Then I experienced another miracle．
There was no sound in that examining room until Merlin started walking to me．From out of nowhere，or maybe from heaven，I clearly heard a song we sung in church often："It Is Well With My Soul．"I remembered thinking，"Yes，it is well with my Soul．I got to see my little boy cat one more time．"
Merlin walked to me．He put his face in mine，which he had never done before．He rubbed a circle around my face twice．Merlin said goodbye with his face and marked me for life．
Ron appeared shocked that Merlin was up and had walked to me．I said to Merlin，"Tell God you are a good boy and how much we love you"and then handed him back to the nurse．
Tears of gratitude poured forth in memory of a miracle．You see for nineteen years God spoke to me through a special cat named"Merlin．"On Merlin's last day，God proved he heard me when he granted a miracle．That miracle gave me time to say goodbye．
65．Ron's wife couldn't lose Merlin becauseB．
A．Merlin was her adopted child for nineteen years
B．Merlin could supply her with comfort and warmth
C．she failed to give birth to her own biological child
D．she would sing her usual song to no one later in life

①comfortable   ②demanding   ③long life   ④full of devotion   ⑤lovely   ⑥religious
A．①②⑥
B．①②③
C．④⑤⑥
D．③④⑤

A．The writer turned to the vet because Merlin was in desperate condition．
B．The writer was so hopeless as to ask a favor of the vet．
C．Ron would accompany her wife to the vet to live up to his promise．

1．Kino，a poor fisherman，has just found a very large and valuable pearl and is going to the nearest town to sell it．He needs money urgently to get medical help for his baby who has just been stung（蜇刺）by a scorpion．Before Kino found the pearl，the only doctor available had refused to treat the baby because Kino could not afford to pay for the treatment．
A town is a thing like a colonial animal．A town has a nervous system and a head and shoulders and feet．A town is a thing separate from all other towns，so that there are no two towns alike．And a town has a whole emotion．How news travels through a town is a mystery not easily to be solved．News seems to move faster than small boys can dart to tell it，faster than women can call it over the fences．
Before Kino and Juana and the other fishers had come to Kino's brush house，the nerves of the town were pulsing and vibrating with the news-Kino had found the Pearl of the World．Before panting（气喘吁吁） little boys could strangle out the words，their mothers knew it．The news swept on past the brush houses，and it washed in a breaking wave into the town of stone and plaster．It came to the priest walking in his garden，and it put a thoughtful look in his eyes and a memory of certain repairs necessary to the church．He wondered what the pearl would be worth．And he wondered whether he had baptized （施洗礼） Kino's baby，or married him for that matter．The news came to the shopkeepers and they looked at men's clothes that had not sold so well．
The news came to the doctor where he sat with a woman whose illness was age，though neither she nor the doctor would admit it．And when it was made plain who Kino was，the doctor grew serious and judicious （明智的） at the same time．"He is a client of mine，the doctor said．"I am treating his child for a scorpion sting．"And the doctor's eyes rolled up a little in their fat hammocks and he thought of Paris．He remembered the room he had lived in there as a great and luxurious place．The doctor looked past his aged patient and saw himself sitting in a restaurant in Paris and a waiter was just opening a bottle of wine．
The news came early to the beggars in front of the church，and it made them giggle a little with pleasure，for they knew that there is no alms （救济品） giver in the world like a poor man who is suddenly lucky．
Kino has found the Pearl of the World．In the town，in little offices，sat the men who bought pearls from the fishers．They waited in their chairs until the pearls came in，and then they cackled and fought and shouted and threatened until they reached the lowest price the fisherman would stand．But there was a price below which they dared not go，for it had happened that a fisherman in despair had given his pearls to the church．And when the buying was over，these buyers sat alone and their fingers played restlessly with the pearls，and they wished they owned the pearls．For there were not many buyers really-there was only one，and he kept these agents in separate offices to give a semblance of competition．The news came to these men，and their eyes squinted and their finger-tips burned a little，and each one thought how the patron（赞助人）could not live forever and someone had to take his place．And each one thought how with some capital he could get a new start．
All manner of people grew interested in Kino-people with things to sell and people with favors to ask．Kino had found the Pearl of the World．The essence of pearl mixed with essence of men．Every man suddenly became related to Kino's pearl，and Kino's pearl went into the dreams，the speculations，the schemes，the plans，the futures，the wishes，the needs，the lusts，the hungers，of everyone，and only one person stood in the way and that was Kino，so that he became curiously every man's enemy．The news stirred up something infinitely black and evil in the town．
46．Why did the shopkeepers look at the men's clothes？D
A．The men's clothes didn't sell well．
B．There were lots of men's clothes in store．
C．They were very concerned about their business．
D．They regarded Kino as a potential buyer of the clothes．
47．The doctor wouldn't admit the woman's illness was age becauseC．
A．the women pretended to be ill．
B．the women had been ill for ages．
C．the doctor was interested in his fees．
D．the doctor was certain to cure her of her disease．
48．Who do the people"with favors to ask"include？C
A．The priest and the doctor．
B．The shopkeepers and the doctor．
C．The beggars in front of the church．
D．The agents of the buyers of pearls．
49．Why did the doctor think of Paris？B
A．The news reminded him of his past experience in Paris．
B．He was aware of what treating Kino's baby meant for him．
C．The woman patient could be sent to Paris for better treatment．
D．He imagined what life would have been had he found the pearl．
50．What would be the best title for the passage？A

B．A lucky fisherman
