The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but before he went into the house, he made a short stop. He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due(正当的).He therefore said to the man. “But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me.”“Sir,”replied the lawyer. “Here I have$500,whether you cure my wife or you kill her. I'll give you all this.” The doctor was reassured(使安心) and went into the house. When he reached the woman's bedside, it soon became clear to him that he could do little. She was seriously ill, and though he prescribed(开药方) her medicine, she soon died. He told the lawyer he was very sorry, and then asked for the money which he had promised. “Did you kill my wife? “Asked the lawyer. “Of course I didn't,” said the doctor. “Well! Did you cure my wife?” asked the man. “I'm afraid that was impossible,” replied the doctor. “Well, then since you neither killed my wife nor cured her, I have nothing to pay you.” 21. One day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and the lawyer_____ A. cured his wife B. got a doctor for her C. got some medicine for her illness D. pay$500 to the doctor 22. Before entering the lawyer’s house the doctor stopped for a while, because_____ . A. the doctor wanted to ask something about his wife's illness B. the doctor thought it impossible to save the woman C. the doctor was afraid that the lawyer would refuse to pay him D. the lawyer was too poor to pay his bills 23. Because the lawyer’s wife was seriously ill, the doctor_____ A. couldn’t do much and didn't save her life B. tried his best and saved her at last C. had to do everything he could for her D. had to spend a lot of time to cure her 24. From the story, we know_____. A. the lawyer was very clever B. how the lawyer's wife died C. the doctor was stupid enough to be fooled D. the lawyer was dishonest and that he fooled the doctor B The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day. 25. From the first paragraph we can know that ____. A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere B. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills 26. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain? A. American novels. B. Hollywood movies. C. McDonald’s. D. American music. 27. Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain? A. To protect foreign culture in Spain. B. To earn more money from Spanish films. C. To limit the number of foreign movies. D. To unite the European Community. 28. What do you think Spanish tapas might be? A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant. C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food.

B. 30. C. 15. D. 12. D The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other bran ds are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”. In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use. Most “i” products are targeted at (针对)young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name. But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition(定义),” he says. “However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne. Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年). But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared. 32. People use iPlayer to __________. A. listen to music B. make a call C. watch TV programs online D. read newspapers 33. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________. A. young readers B. old readers C. fashionable women D. engineers 34. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”. A. popular B. uncertain C. clear D. unique 35. The writer suggests that __________. A. “i” products are often of high quality B. iTeddy is alive bear C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long 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。Do you know Australia?
