A-B,L-M, V-Z. He looked everywhere for them, and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes.
“A man came to the door this morning” said the little daughter, “and he didn’t know how to get from here to Torrington or from Torrington to Wintec, and he was a kind man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine.

查看习题详情和答案>>One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank．There I would 36 the peace and quiet, watch the water rush 37 and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of 38 in the trees．I would also watch the bamboo trees 39 under pressure from the wind and watch them 40 gracefully to their original position after the wind had 41 ．
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind．When used in 42 to a person, this word means the ability to readily 43 from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's 44 ．
Have you ever felt like you are at your 45 point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it．

A measure of hope will take you 52 the unpleasant ordeal （考验）．With 53 for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be．The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to 54 if the final result is worth having．

Are you too old for fairy tales? If you think so, Copenhagen is sure to change your mind. See the city first from the water. In the harbor sits Denmark’s best-known landmark: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the sea people in search of becoming a human in one of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fantasies. From the harbor you can feel “city of green spires （尖顶）”. At dawn or on a cloudy day, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches give the city a dream-like atmosphere. You’ll think that you’ve stepped into a watercolor painting.
Copenhagen is a city made for people. You don’t have to hurry to walk through the city’s center in less than an hour. Exploring it will take much longer, but that’s easy. Copenhagen is the first city to make a street for walking only. The city has less traffic, noise, and pollution than any other European capital.
Churches and castles are almost all remains of the original city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. During the late 16th century, trade grew, and so did the city. But fires in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today is from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Look at one of the spires up close — really close — at the 17th-century Church of Our Savior. Brave people may climb the 150 stairs winding outside the spire to its top. If you are afraid of heights, or if it’s a windy day, you can forget about the climb. But then you’ll miss the beautiful view.
To see people having fun, and to have some fun yourself, cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens. You won’t be alone. More than five million people a year come here. They come to dance, eat, listen to outdoor and indoor concerts, watch ballets and laugh during comedy shows. One tip: Bring a lot of money. About 20 restaurants are among the city’s most expensive. Even without money, though, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the coloured night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.
1．Why is Copenhagen sure to change your mind — that you are too old for fairy tales? Because ______.
A．the Little Mermaid is Denmark’s best-known landmark
B．Copenhagen is a city of green spires and wooden buildings that often appears in fairy tales
C．Copenhagen is like a dream-like watercolor painting
D．Copenhagen is a city where you find yourself in a fairy atmosphere
2．What do you think of the city?
A．A small quiet city which few city travelers visit.
B．An international trade port which is busy.
C．A beautiful ancient city with many travelers.
D．A city where some fairy stories happened.
3．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Mermaid is a character in one of Hans Christian Andersen’s fantasies.
B．The 17th-century Church of Our Savior is high.
C．Mermaid is a heroine in Denmark.
D．Copenhagen has less traffic, noise and pollution in Europe.
4．Which title is the most suitable for the passage?
A．The imaginary fairy city — Copenhagen
B．Not only ancient but modern — Copenhagen
C．City of green spires — Copenhagen
D．A fairyland — Copenhagen

You’d think by now that everyone would be aware of the dangers of cigarette smoking．So why are more women lighting up?
Since 1980, some 3 million women have died of smoking-related illnesses．A new study reports women now account for 39 percent of all smoking-related deaths, a figure that has more than doubled since 1965．
In the early decades smoking was mainly popular among men, and it took nearly 25 years before the gap narrowed and smoking became quite common among women．
Nearly all women who smoke picked up the habit as teenagers－and 30 percent of today’s high school seniors smoke．Dr Thompson says, “We must begin this battle in schools before girls even begin to smoke．We must share with teenage girls that smoking is really harmful．”
18．How many women died of smoking-related illnesses since 1980?
A．About 3 million．
B．About 2 million．
C．About 6 million．
19．What can be inferred from the talk?
A．More and more women start smoking．
B．The number of male smokers is decreasing．
C．Smoking-related illness is one of the major threats to women．
20．When did most of women smokers pick up the habit of smoking?
A．When they entered high school．
B．Soon after they graduate from high school．
C．When they were teenagers．
