　　Polly Jones lived on a farm．She had lived there all her life,all twelve years of it．Her father,who managed the farm,had just lifted the potato crop．Prices were high:he wanted to sell the crop as quickly as he could．

　　Polly wandered over the rough field looking for the smaller potatoes that the pickers had accidentally missed．She found one,then another,then a handful．She was pleased．They were delicious once cooked．Then she caught sight of something else．It looked like a piece of coloured stone．Polly picked it up and thought how pretty it was．She could see a pattern on it:a picture of a fish and a part of a leaf．She scraped（擦去）the soil away around her feet and found that she was standing on what seemed to be a piece of pavement（铺路石）．Stuck to another piece of stone was something small and round like a button．She realized it was an old coin．

　　The field was busy the next morning though not with potato pickers．In front of the house where the farm machinery usually stood were several cars and a policeman．A group of distinguished-looking men and women had appeared the morning after her father's telephone call．The local television station had shown some pictures of the field with Polly pointing to the place where she had found her pavement．It was proving to be of Roman origin and was being described as the most exciting thing that had happened in the area since the end of the Second World War．In those days an American airbase had occupied the site of the potato field．

　　A week later about forty students arrived from the local university．That afternoon a truck with equipment arrived．The excavation（挖掘）was officially under way．Permission had been given and the“dig”,as it was called,was expected to last several months．Polly wondered how the everyday work of the farm would get done with so many strange people around and cars coming and going all day long．All the unusual activity had made the cows and sheep restless．Her father said their cows produced less milk．

　　Still,it was interesting and great fun．They had let her keep the gold coin．

　　From then on,Polly wouhl always walk carefully over potato fields．

A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking(搭便车) on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road. The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel(方向盘)!

The car started to move very slowly. The man looked at the road and saw a curve(拐弯处) coming his way. Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life. He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve. Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky(怪异的) car. Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.

Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car. Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!

About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other,“Hey, there’s a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!”

2.According to the passage, what made the man’s experience believable?

“Wolf！”
Lydia Angiyou's five-year-old nephew Paulussie whispered with alarm as he touched her
arm. At first, she didn't believe him.
Angiyou, Paulussie, her another newphew Lueassie, also five, and her youngest son Jessie,
seven, were walking to her mother's house one night last February. Animals were often sighted
near lvujvik--a village of 274 Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay--but rarely on its streets.
The 41-year-old teacher and mother of five turned around. Looking behind her into the
darkness, at first she thought that Jessie was the wolf. But a meter behind the boy was 350kg
polar bern -no wolf in sight--standing on the icy road. Jessie turned and saw it, too, then ran,
screaming, to his mother.
Angiyou felt a rush of blood to her brain. "Get as far away as you can!" she shouted to the
boys as she ran towards the bear. She stopped just in front of it, then faced it quiedy. It made a
move to go around her to get to the boys, who must have seemed like the easier meal.
But Angiyou moved with the bear to maintain her position blocking the children. Finally she
got the animal's attention. In response, it rose on its hind legs to its full 2.5m height. The bear
charged, and knocked her into a seated position. The skin under her nose tore. Falling onto her
back, she screamed for help and kicked at the animal in a bicycling motion. She soon passed out.
Sirqualuk Ainalik, a fellow teacher, had been at his brother's house nearby when Jessie
dashed inside for help. Grabing a rifle, the 33-year-old ran to the road, firing a warning shot into
the air. He then aimed his gun at the huge bear.
With two more shots, Ainalik killed the polar bear.
56. Lydia Angiyou and             children went through the adventure.
A. two            B. three           C. four            D. five

a. Angiyou passed out.

c. Angiyou went to her mother's home.
d. A fellow teacher killed the bear.

A. e c b d a        B. c e d a b          C. c e b a d          D. c e a b d
58. The following are all right except
