  本篇大意是:木匠约翰给主人公的妻子做了一个小饭桌,结账时的账单上把成本费17.00、油漆料钱1.50、工价8.00和日期10一起相加,多计价10元,结果被主人发现了,但他并没有直接批评多要钱的木匠,只是诙谐地说:“月底30日做比月初10日做,还要贵些,是不是?”而且只付了木匠应得到的26.50元钱.很明显,本篇比上篇更难些,因上篇中主人公怀特和厂家双方处理的问题是直接的,直言不讳,而本篇中的主人公却是明人做暗事,肚内藏机关,木匠虽然诡谲,主人却更机灵,一眼看穿了木匠的把戏,但他处理问题颇有技巧,既解决问题,不多花钱,又不搞得很僵,双方不快,体现了现代生意场中的交往策略和洽谈风格.我国正在建设社会主义市场经济,这是法制化、规范化的市场经济,反对不正当的竞争.此文有一定的现实意义,文中的内容联系着当代的社会生活,通过英语试卷,同样可以检验学生:的审视能力.

  Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(账单) for the job.

  My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

  “I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.

  John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

  One dining table
10 November 1989
  Cost((成本;费用)) of wood
£17.00(£是pound的符号)
  Paint(油漆)
1.50
  Work, 8 hours (£1 an hour)
8.00
  Tota1(合计)
36.50

  When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

  “Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”

  “Me, too,” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

  “Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be £20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?”

  John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

  “If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”

  I paid him £26.50 and he was happy to get it.

1.Why did John talk about the weather when the writer was looking at the bill?

A Because he didn't want the writer to go through the bill carefully.

B.Because it was really a fine day.

C.Because he wanted the writer to check the bill carefully.

D.Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.

2.Why did the writer say that dining tables would be £ 20 more expensive on November 30th?

[  ]

A.Because it was difficult to make dining tables in cold weather.

B.Because paint would be more expensive.

C.Because the cost of wood would be more expensive.

D.Because he thought John would almost certainly add the date to the cost of the dining table.

3.The writer thought John would ask for ________ if he made a dining table on the last day of November.

[  ]

A.£20.00
B.£46.50
C.£56.50
D.£26.50

4.When the writer gave him the money, John was happy because ________.

[  ]

A.he got what he should get for his work

B.he got much more money for his work

C.he got the money easily

D.he didn't have to add up the costs again

D.John still wanted to get £36.50 for his work in the end

(一)美调运巨弹准备伊朗战争(12分)
一条来自苏格兰的独家消息本周点燃了世界对“第一次美伊战争”的狂想。这条爆炸性消息称,美军已将387枚“掩体粉碎机”智能炸弹秘密运往其位于印度洋的迪戈加西亚基地,这些炸弹的目标很可能是伊朗的地下核设施。发布消息的苏格兰《星期日先驱报》称,美国已做好在数小时内摧毁1万个伊朗目标的准备,一场对伊朗的彻底摧毁正在加速酝酿之中。
  对于这条消息,美国官方没有证实或否认,奥巴马周三最新表态说,要对伊朗实施“有侵略性的制裁”,但这位已被罩上诺贝尔和平奖光环的总统真有勇气按下启动战争的按钮吗?确信这一点的媒体说,迪戈加西亚是美国在印度洋上永不沉没的航母,以往两次对伊拉克作战美国轰炸机都是从那里起飞开赴战场,美国这回“真要动手了”。一些俄罗斯专家则认为,美国承受不起对伊朗开战的代价,最多只是唬唬人。
  《星期日先驱报》“独家消息”称,美国政府今年1月已同一家佛罗里达船运公司签署价值69.95万美元的合同,向位于印度洋的迪戈加西亚岛运送10集装箱军火。美国海军网站上贴出的合同清单显示,这批军火中包括195枚BLU-110和192枚BLU一117重型智能炸弹,这两种被称为“掩体粉碎机”的巨型钻地炸弹专门被用来摧毁坚固的地下建筑,而这些炸弹“最终的目的地”很可能是伊朗。伦敦大学国际研究和外交中心主任丹·皮莱士说,美军显然正在为摧毁伊朗作准备,这些炸弹能在几小时内摧毁1万个伊朗目标。
  路透社上个月曾报道说,五角大楼正努力加快超大型钻地炸弹的部署速度,其中BLU一110能携5300磅重的爆炸物,其爆炸产生的威力是其前身BLU-109的10倍,而BLU一117也是美国海军最先进的改进型钻地炸弹。
  这些太炸弹被部署到印度洋令一些西方学者感到不安。苏格兰核裁军运动主席阿兰·麦金农表示,美国此举“很明显是在敲响对伊开战的战鼓,美国国务卿希拉里最近对伊朗的威胁言论与2003年伊拉克战争之前我们听到的言辞像极了”。
  以色列《国土报》17日说,美国军方正在做战争准备,而最终决定权在奥巴马手中,他或许认为由美国采取行动比以色列采取行动效果更好。俄《晨报》的标题则更加耸动——美国已准备把伊朗磨成粉末

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter.  The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign签字 this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with对---满意 a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
小题1:Why did Ted come home with .a letter last Friday ?
A.Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.
B.Because he did something wrong.
C.Because the teacher was happy with his progress.

小题2:If a student in the USA gets "OK" in his school work, it means       .
A.he gets top scores
B.he gets medium scores
C.he gets extremely bad scores
D.he gets the worst scores
小题3:American parents will be       when their children get a B-grade in their school.
A.excitedB.sadC.angryD.happy
小题4:The underlined words "high expectations" in this passage means       .
A.很高的待遇B.很多的自由C.很高的期望D.很多的关爱

A.the differences between Chinese education and American education
B.Chinese students are better than American students
