I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person, I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station. 【1】Why did the writer prefer to walk back to his hotel? A.Because he had no money to buy a ticket. B.Because he wanted to lose himself in the city. C.Because he tried to know the city in this way. D.Because it was late and there were no buses passing by. 【2】The newspaper-seller . A.didn’t know where the hotel was B.didn’t understand what the writer said C.could understand what the writer said D.didn’t want to take the money from the writer 【3】From the story we know that the policeman . A.was kind but didn’t understand the writer B.told the writer where to take a train C.knew what the writer really meant D.was cold-hearted and didn’t help the writer 【4】In your opinion, what was the writer’s real trouble? A.He didn’t know the city at all. B.He couldn’t speak the language. C.He went too far in the wrong bus. D.He followed the policeman’s direction. |

More than half a century ago, there were 4, 000 drive-in movie theatres in the United States, and watching a movie from your car was a popular way to spend an evening. But with the number of drive-ins reduced to just a few hundred, outdoor movies have been popping up across the nation. Going to an open-air theatre has become a modern summer pastime for an increasing number of movie fans. In recent years, outdoor movie screenings have come up in parks, vacant lots (空地) and shopping malls around the nation. On average, about 1, 000 people attend each movie night. It attracts a lot of young professionals, young workers and residents nearby. For some, the outdoor movies bring back the memories of the drive-in theatres of their youths. But for the majorities, they think it is comparable to the atmosphere (氛围) of drive-ins, as they can bring friends, food, good wine, and watch the movie together. The returning of Americans’ love affair with outdoor movies makes Stephen Bastas ever busier. His seven-member crew sets up screens in various locations mostly in the Washington area every day throughout the summer. They are doing pretty well and they hope to continue the trend. And it looks like they are going to.

A.outdoor movies attract more movie-lovers B.summer brings back more drive-in movie fans C.drive-in movie theatres have already disappeared D.watching a movie from your car is becoming more popular 【2】Most people choose to go to an outdoor movie mainly because they can .

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams，as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying，confusion，feeling stressed while looking at difficult questions，feeling blank，sweating，sleepless，etc. Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have. Therefore，it's extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear，so that they can take their examination confidently，finally earning good grades. Here are a few tips on ways to overcome exam fear. There are many students who take studies lightly，leaving everything to be studied at the last minute. As a result，when exams are around the corner，they feel scared，as they don't know where to start，and what to study. So the easiest way of overcoming this problem is to start studying much before the exam. Another common mistake that many students make is that they don't make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding，the chances of forgetting are more. Therefore，it is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it. In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides，that the exams are coming does not mean that you have to sit with your books for the entire day，and students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind. However，they should avoid watching too much TV and addicting themselves to the Internet，in which way，they are more likely to waste time. Apart from the tips above，here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example，before the exam，avoid studying anything new or having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied and how much they have studied，both of which will make you more nervous. During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions，ignore them for the time being，and attempt those you find easier. Once you have completed them，go back to the difficult ones. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
