He made a mistake while operating on a patient. He felt sure he was no longer trusted and decided to change his job . One day he learned from the paper that a doctor was looking for a partner (合作者). The doctor, whose name was Johnson , lived in Thorby, a small town in the north of England.A few days later Dr. Turner went to Thorby, and arrived at Dr.Johnsons home early in the afternoon. Though old and a little deaf, Dr.Johnson still had a good brain. He kept talking to the visitor about the town and its people. When they turned to the question of partnership,it was already seven in the evening. Dr. Johnson invited Dr . Turner to have dinner with him in a restaurant before catching the train back to London. Dr . Turner noticed that Dr. Johnson was fond of good food and expensive wines . They had an excellent meal. When the bill was brought, Dr. Johnson felt in his pocket. Oh, dear, he said. Ive forgotten my money. Thats all right,Dr. Turner said.Ill pay the bill.As he did so,he began to wonder whether Dr. Johnson was worthy of trust.21Dr. Turner decided to leave his present job because .A. he had never been trusted B. it demanded too great skillsC. he believed it offered little hope for his futureD. he thought the hospital would like him to leave22The two doctors spent most of the afternoon talking about .A. things of no interest to Dr. Johnson B. things of no importance to Dr. TurnerC. health matters D. food and drink23The story suggests that .A.

Dr. Turner decided to stay at his present job24The words did so in the last sentence mean .A. caught the train back to London B. felt in his pocketC. paid the bill D. said those wordsB Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed ，we couldnt have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力). Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing . I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you cant see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).25The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was _for Father and Son. A. hard B. enjoyable C. boring D. comfortable26The word “quit” in the passage means “_”. A. carry on B. put off C. give up D. pick up27We can infer from the last paragraph that _. A. the writer was very successful in his life. B. the writer reached the top of the mountain. C. though the writer was young, he could understand his father. D. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain.28The best title for the passage is “_”. A. Reaching the Top of the Mountain B. Standing at the Top of the Mountain C. What a beautiful Mountain D. How to Get to the Top of the MountainCom You probably know you should say please and thank you at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people cant hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldnt turn it up too high.Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries and schools dont allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that dont have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesnt make sense(无意义） to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while its okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone.Its Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.29The underlined word volume in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. the type of musicB. the length of a songC. the amount of a soundD. the color of an MP3 player30We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_.A. may annoy others B. will make us tiredC. is bad for MP3 players D. can hurt our ears31If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _.A. the theatre wont allow itB. we may miss part of the playC. others wont hear the play wellD. the actors will get angry32 The main idea of this passage is about _.A. music lovers B. music mannersC. music players D. MP3 earphonesDA man was working on his motorcycle in his yard.Suddenly it started to move.The man，still holding the hand lebars，was dragged through the glass doors，along with the motorcycle，and was thrown onto the floor inside the house.The wife ran in and found her husband lying on the floor，cut and bleeding.She ran to call an ambulance (救护车)The ambulance arrived and they took the man to the hospital.The wife picked up the motorcycle and pushed it outside.There was gas all over the floor，so the wife got some paper towels，cleaned the gas with them，and threw them in the toilet.After he was treated，the man returned home.Not long after that he went to the bathroom，sat down on the toilet and smoked a cigarette.Sitting there，he finished the cigarette and threw it into the toilet.The wife，who was in the kitchen，heard the loud explosion (爆炸声) and her husband screaming.She ran into the bathroom，and there she found her husband lying on the floor！His trousers had been blown away and his buttocks and other parts of his body were covered with burns！The wife again ran to the phone to call an ambulance.The same people came！While they were carrying the husband down the stairs to the street，one of the men asked the wife how the husband had burned himself.She told them and they started laughing very hard.One of them fell and the husband fell，too.The poor husband fell down the remaining stairs and broke his arm.33What did the wife do after the first accident?AShe did nothing except calling the policemen.BShe cleaned the gas with paper towels and threw them into the toilet.CShe took the motorcycle and pushed it into the room.DShe took her hushand to the hospital.34The passage is most likely to be found in_Aa survey Ba textbookCa report Da book of funny stories35Which is the best title for this passage?AWhat a Bad Day for the Husband and WifeBA Mans Worst DayCA Man Had Three Accidents in One DayDA Wife Burned Her Husband and Broke His Arms第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other. 36 It is reported that American parents today spend about 40 percent less time with their children than parents did a generation ago.
