When Dave was eighteen,he bought a second-hand car for £200 so that he could travel to and from work more  1  than by bus.It worked quite well for a few years,but then it got so old,and it was costing him  2  much in repairs that he decided that he had better  3  it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly  4   to buy a cheap car,but they all knew that it was falling to pieces,so  5   of them had any desire to buy it.

Dave's friend Sam saw that he was  6   when they met one evening,and said,“What's  7  ,Dave?” Dave told him and Sam answered,“Well,what about advertising it in the paper? You may   8   more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's   9   was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper,which read:“For sale:small car,  10   very little petrol,only two owners.Bargain at £50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared,there was no   11  .But then on Saturday evening a man rang up and said he would like to  12   him about the car.“All right,” Dave said,feeling happy.He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be   13   or not.“Fine,” the man said.“And I'll  14   my wife.We intend to go for a ride in it to   15   it.”

The next morning,at ten quarter,Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door,  16   to wait there for the person who had   17   his advertisement.Even Dave had to   18   that the car really looked like a wreck.Then soon after he had got the car as   19   as it could be,a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out.He looked at Dave's car and then said,“Have you reported this   20   to us yet,sir?”

Ⅲ. 阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.

  There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.

  Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.

  We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

36. ________ are formed little by little.

A. Good habits                   

B. Bad habits

C. Both good habits and bad habits

D. Either good habits or bad habits

37. Generally speaking, it's difficult for one___and easy for them____which should be avoided.

  A. to form bad habits; to form good habits

  B. to form good habits; to form bad habits

  C. to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habits

  D. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits

38. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

  A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.

  B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.

  C. Because it's hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.

  D. Because we are forced to do them again and again .

39. According to the passage, early rising ________.

  A. has something to do with success

  B. is an easily formed habit

  C. is such a habit as should have been avoided

  D. is such a habit as will be kept

  It was only in the eighteenth century that people in Europe began to think mountains were beautiful.  1   that time, mountains were   2   by the people living on the plain,   3   by the city people, to whom they were wild and   4   places in which one was easily   5   or killed by terrible animals.

  Slowly, however, many of the people who were living   6   in the towns began to grow tired of   7  .They began to feel interested in looking for things which could not be explained, for sights and sounds which produce in a feeling of fear and excitement.  8   in the   9   century, people began to turn away from the man-made   10   to untouched country, and particularly   11   places where it was dangerous and wild.High mountains began to be   12   for a holiday.

  Treasure hunts(寻宝)have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues(线索)found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979.The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.

  Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic(逻辑), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight "under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.

  Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth £3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.

67. The underlined word "them"(Paragraph 1)refers to ____.

  A. red herrings                    B. treasure hunts

  C. Henry VIII's six wives     D. readers of Masquerade

68. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?

  A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill.

  B. Stevenson's Treasure Island.

  C. Katherine of Aragon.

  D. Williams’ home town.

69. The stone crosses in Ampthill were built ____.

  A. to tell about what happened in 1773

  B. to show respect for Henry VIII's first wife

  C. to serve as a road sign in Ampthill Park

  D. to inform people where the gold hare was

70. Which of the following describes Roberts’ logic in searching for the hare?

  a. Henry VIII's six wives

  b. Katherine's burial place at Kimbolton

  c. Williams’ childhood in Ampthill

  d. Katherine of Aragon

  e. stone crosses in Ampthill Park

  A. a-b-c-e-d       B. d-b-c-e-a

  C. a-d-b-c-e       D. b-a-e-c-d

71. What is the subject discussed in the text?

  A. An exciting historical event.

  B. A modern treasure hunt.

  C. The attraction of Masquerade.

D. The importance of logical thinking.
