     Buster Brown was a thief-and a good one, too, he thought. He'd never been caught
by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any
unforeseen event or emergency.
     Confidently, he stood outside the house of his intended victim (受害者) and read the sign on the front gate
of the house. "Don't worry about the dog-be aware of the owner!" it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.
     The house looked quite normal outside, but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As
he began putting them into his bag, a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster, then wagged its
tail madly and went over to him, licking his outstretched hand.
     "Good boy," Buater whispered. "What a great guard dog you are-trying to lick me to death."
     Satisfied he'd made friends with the dog, Bluster began to wander round the house, choosing items to put
in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques (古董): a pair of silver candleholders, a silver tea-and-
coffee service, etc..His new friend, the dog, sat and watched, as if wondering what was happening.
     "Well,boy," Buster whispered, finally. "That might do. Any more and I won't be able to carry it!" He swung
the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his
hand.
     "You're a very silly person," the figure in the doorway said. As the man came closer, Buster could see he
was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.
     "You should have taken more notice of the sign outside," the man rasped. "I knew about this attempted
robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of
the world's greatest fortune-teller!"
1. Why was Buster so confident?
A. He was not afraid of dogs.
B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone.
C. He had never been caught by the police.
D. The house had no security alarm.
2. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word "exotic" in the third paragraph?
A. Messy and untidy.
B. Rich and expensive.
C. Comfortable and calming.
D. Foreign and unusual.
3. How did Buster decide which objects to take?
A. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.
B. He took only the best antiques.
C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.
D. He looked for silver objects.
4. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?
A. A prison sentence with hard labour.
B. A long prison sentence.
C. A heavy fine.
D. Community service for 20 years.

     "Good evening, everybody!" said the teacher, Donna. "Where is everybody?" That was sort of a daily
joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the
minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was
always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.
     "I don't know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come," said one student. "Maybe watching TV football
tonight."
     "Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there's a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let's get
started, okay? We're on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we're studying participles as adjectives. Students
are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot.
Tonight, we're just going to practice the present participle.
     "The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, 'Grammar
is boring' means that the subject-grammar-causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, 'The movie is
interesting,' we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, 'The roller coaster is exciting,'
we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing
you? Is everyone confused?"
     The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take
a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By
the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
     Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult
topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
1. What do you think the class is about?
A. Going over homework.
B. English grammar.
C. Football.
D. British culture.
2. We can infer from the first paragraph that _____ in summer time.
A. some students are often late for school
B. some students often watch football games with the teacher
C. more students often ask for leave
D. more students often go to school
3. The underlined work "blank" probably means _____.
A. excited
B. interested
C. confused
D. pleased
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Donna was experienced in teaching English grammar.
B. Donna made the students practice using the present participle.
C. Donna didn't use any examples to help the students.
D. Donna made herself understood at last.

     Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this of the Box Bill Tennis Club. It's good to see so
many of you here this evening. I'm sure you're all enjoyed the fine food, and that you are ready to hear our
guest speaker.
     Ladies and gentlemen, we're pleased to welcome our most famous club champion, Billy Rogers, to our
meeting.
     Billy needs no introduction because he is one of the most well-known tennis players in our country.
However, I must mention a few things about him. Billy has won the US Open three times,and Wimbledon
twice. He has won more tennis tournaments (锦标赛) than any player from this country. He has been ranked
number one in the world in both singles and doubles. He has played in the Davis Cup and the Hopman Cup
for his country. His Wimbledon victory two years ago has been called one of the bravest in the modern time.
Had he not been injured, he would undoubtedly have won a third Wimbledon Championship. Billy is regarded
by many as perhaps the finest player ever in international tennis.
     But of course Billy is much more than a tennis champion.
     He is like an ambassador for the sport and for his country. He has done great work to help children around
the world,and his generosity to children's charity funds is well known.
     And of course, Billy is the most successful graduate of our club. He won the club championships when
he was twelve-yes, at only twelve. And Billy has not forgotten where it all started. That's why he accepted
our invitation to speak to us tonight. We're proud to have played a small part in Billy's success.
     Won't you please give a big hand to our own Billy Rogers?
1. Why did Billy Rogers not win the third Wimbledon?
A. Because he had no chance to take part in it.
B. Because he was too old to beat his opposite.

     In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say
keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land
Cruiser.
     "We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We're just saying that we need to think about and
know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted."
     Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and
manufacturing a dog's food takes about O.84 hectares-or l.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a
German shepherd.
     Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter, the
Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping "greener", smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish,
chickens or rabbits.
     The book's playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully "recycled", by being eaten
by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.
     Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resource
s, Robert Vale said. 
     "Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices
which are as difficult as eating your dog. It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to
the supermarket," he said.
     "It's about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. "Once you see where cats and dogs fit
in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the
three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself."

1. The authors gave their book the playful title to _____.
[     ]
A. make it amusing
B. create a vivid image
C. show writing skills
D. arouse people's concern
2. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us _____.
[     ]
A. the amount of consumed land
B. the neglected ecological impact
C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures
3. What does "sustainability" mean according to the passage?
[     ]
A. Going vegetarian.
B. Raising cats and dogs.
C. Using a cloth bag.
D. Keeping a greener life.
4. Who may not like the idea of "recycling" pet animals?
[     ]
A. Manufacturers.
B. Drivers.
C. Animal fans.
D. The authorities.
5. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life?
[     ]
A. Challenging.
B. Inspiring.
C. Inviting.
D. Touching.
