It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who wa

s lucky to be able to cross the river at that unusual hour by promising to pay some extra money. While the youth stood in the light place searching his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lamp, with the help of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a careful look at the stranger. He was a young man of about eighteen years, clearly country brought up, and was, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough grey coat, which was in good shape, and which had seen many winters before this one. The jacket under his coat was made of leather(皮), and fitted tightly to a pair of strong legs; his stockings of blue must have been the work of his mother or sister; on his head was a hat, which in its better days had perhaps protected the grayer head of the young man's father, In his left hand was a walking stick, and on his strong shoulders hung a leather bag. Brown hair, well-shaped features(身体匀称), bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already travelled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he looked around as eagerly as if he were entering London or New York instead of the little city in New Eng land.

Which of the following statements is true？

A．The boy was rich.

B．The story took place at a cold snowy(下雪的) night in winter.

C．The boatman wouldn't like to send the young man across the river at first.

D．The boatman knew that the young man's name was Robin.

听力原文： In the Netherlands and Belgium children do not have their fun and presents on Christmas Day as we do. They go to church on Christmas Day, and they have their fun on St. Nicholas Day, which comes on December 6. The night before, they fix something to hold their gifts. Sometimes it is a well-polished shoe, sometimes a plate or a basket, and sometimes they hang up their stockings just as we do. St. Nicholas rides a gray horse or a white donkey and so the children leave water for the animal to drink and something for it to eat. They leave hay or oats or a carrot, and sometimes a piece of bread. In the morning, if they have been good, they find that St. Nicholas has left sweets and fruits and playthings for them. But if they have been bad they find only a rod or a switch.

A．6th.

B．8th.

C．9th.

D．25th.

Knitting

My mother knew how to knit (纺织), but she never taught me. She assumed, as did many women of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter. A combination of feminism (女权主义) and consumerism (消费主义) made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now out of date. My Grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me, of red wool. They were the ones we wore under our ice skates (冰鞋), when it was really important to have warm feet.

Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted.

I love breathing life into the patterns. It's true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared old book with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same Germantown wool my grandmother used, in the exact blue to match my daughter's eyes, taking it on the train with me every day for two months, working enthusiastically to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends.

Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that anger will not fix it, that I just have to go back and take out the stitches (针脚) between and start over again.

People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could net pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important, this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit to cover my children and other people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could never buy.

Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.

Why did many women feel that knitting was out-of date？

A．Because their mothers didn't teach them.

B．Because they were influenced by feminism and consumerism.

C．Because they were feminists.

D．Because they were consumerists.

第8题

I admit I am a complete fool about cats, who, for some reason I don't understand, fail to

return my admiration. I will wait minutes for cars to pass so that I can cross the road to address a black and white cat at ease in sunshine on a low wall, either to watch the tip of a frightened tail disappear under a neighboring gate or to be met with the most violent cat curses or, while my hand moves gently over the smooth shining fur, to be bitten or scratched or attacked in both ways at the same time. It makes no difference: I continue my journey with my respect increased. After all, the wisest men of one of the oldest civilizations worshipped the noble cat so why should I be ashamed of following their example？

I have sometimes stayed long enough in one place to be owned by a cat and it is on those occasions that I at last feel sympathy with parents who cannot control their children. I have the firmest belief in discipline, especially for the cat who adopts me and is kind enough to allow me to share her home and provide her with food. She will have a comfortable basket and not sit on any furniture; she will come when called or have no supper; and she will at all times behave towards me with the respect I show towards her. And then what happens？ She refuses even to consider the basket, and, as soon as my back is turned, settles on my favorite chair, daring me to move her on my return. At some unexpected moment after I have sat down, she springs suddenly on to my knees and delightedly ruins my stockings with her claws, complaining angrily, even painfully with the sharpest of teeth, if I bend down to pick something up. I dare not rise to change the television program, however much I dislike it, and she watches dreamily the moving shadows on the screen. She comes not to my call, but when she is ready, hours later, and I am so relieved to see her that her supper is increased in amount. When put out at night (with fierce disapproval) she waits till I am asleep and then cries noisily at my bedroom to come in. An hour later she cries even more noisily at the bedroom door to be let out again.

If I go away on holiday, a neighbor feeds her, who reports on my return on her sweetness, her obedience and perfect behavior. I am the only one that she delights in defying.

Dogs are pleasant animals, friendly, faithful and intelligent. Dogs have proper respect for the human race. You know where you are with a dog; never with a cat, who will be selfish, vain, ungrateful and quite unreasonable. But that's just it. Who wants to know where he is with any living thing？ It is the free, the strange creature of grace and beauty, the independent and unknown, that attracts, not the worthy, respectful, dependable slave.

What is the writer's feeling for cats？

A．She gives them unreturned worship.

B．They are a combination of annoyance and intense admiration.

C．She is quite fond of them.

D．She is ashamed of being their slave.

听力原文： It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger, who had promised to pay an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman got close to him and, with the help of the moonlight, took a careful look at the stranger—a young man of just 18 years, obviously country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town.

He was wearing a rough grey coat, which was in good shape. The clothes under his coat were veil made of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of fat legs; his blue cotton stockings must have been the work of his mother or sister, and on his head was a 3-cornered hat. In his left hand was a walking stick, which hung on his strong shoulders, with 2 leather bags on both ends of the stick. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with light steps, as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day. As he walked along, he looked about his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little town.

(33)

A．Because he knew he would be paid more than what was usual.

B．Because Robin was just over 20.

C．Because he felt sorry for the handsome young man.

D．Because the boat could only carry one passenger.

There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission

decided that the modern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called "baseball". Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first tile American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country — "town ball". "rounders", or "one old cat". Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.

Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knicker-bocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modem baseball. The game was played on a "diamond" infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.

Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball？

A．Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.

B．Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little from today's game.

C．As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called "baseball".

D．The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century
