“Look here, Watson,” Holmes said after we finished lunch. “Please sit down. I want to talk to you. I don’t know what to do, and your advice is important to me. You smoke your cigar (雪茄烟) while I explain.” “Please continue,” I said, as I lit my cigar. “Now there’re a few important points in young James’ story. One, his father cries Coo-ee before he sees him. Two, he talks about a rat (老鼠). I think young James is telling the truth (真相).” “So why did Mr. McCarthy shout Coo-ee then?” “Well, he was not shouting Coo-ee to his son. It was by chance that James heard. The Coo-ee was to call the person he was meeting. But Coo-ee is an Australian cry, Australians usually say it when they meet to catch attention. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy was meeting someone from Australia.” “I see. But why did he talk about a rat, then?” I asked. Holmes took a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table. “This is a map of Australia,” he said. He put his hand over part of the map. “Now, Watson, what can you read there?” he asked me. “ARAT,” I read. “And now?” Holmes moved his hand. “BALLARAT,” I read. “Yes. That was the word the dead man said. It’s a place called Ballarat. His son only heard the ‘rat’ part of the word. Old Mr. McCarthy was trying to say where his murderer was from, the town of Ballarat. The grey cloak is point No. 3. If James is telling the truth, there was a grey cloak (斗篷). So now we have an Australian from Ballarat with a grey cloak.” “Great!” I replied. “And it’s someone who lives nearby, as the Boscombe Pool isn’t open to the public. Only people from the farm nearby or the Turner house can go there,” said Holmes. “That’s wonderful, Holmes!” I exclaimed. 【1】Who is “I” in Paragraph 2? A. James. B. Watson. C. Holmes. D. Mr. McCarthy. 【2】How many important points were there in young James’ story? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 【3】What does the underlined word “murderer” mean in English? A. Doctor. B. Killer. C. Fisherman. D. Climber. 【4】What was the true meaning of “a rat” according to Holmes? A. A large mouse from England. B. The bad guy from Australia. C. A very old map of Australia. D. Part of the name of a place. 【5】What is the passage mainly about? A. How Holmes worked out the case. B. Where Holmes and Watson had lunch. C. How Holmes studied the map of Australia. D. Who Holmes and Watson saw near Boscombe Pool.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。 If you are visiting England, you will notice that the English have many customs (风俗) and traditions (传统) that are different from those in China. Here’s a guide to visiting England. It provides help for anyone who visit England for the first time. Standing in the queue English people like to form queues. They think it is the fair way to behave. People wait in a queue in shops or at bus stops. People will think you are rude if you don’t join the queue. Please, Thank you, Excuse me and Sorry It is good manners to say “Please” and “Thank you”. If someone is in your way, say “Excuse me” and they will move. If you bump into someone or you are in their way, say “Sorry”. They will probably say sorry, too, even if it was your mistake. Saying sorry does not always mean you are wrong. Sometimes it is a polite thing to say. Meeting a new person When people meet for the first time, the usual custom is to shake hands. The next time you meet that person, you can just say hello. English people don’t usually hug or kiss if they don’t know each other really well. Talking to people English people find it difficult to start conversations with strangers. If you are on buses or trains, they usually sit as far away from other people as possible. If you want to start a conversation, the topic that English people are always happy to talk about is the weather. So you need to be able to say “Isn’t it warm (sunny/windy/wet/foggy) today?” or “Do you think it’s going to rain/clear up?” Avoid topics such as politics, religion or how much people earn! Just behave politely. Remember: When you are in England, just do as the English people do! 【1】__________ 【2】__________ 【3】__________ 【4】__________ 【5】__________ 【6】__________ 【7】__________ 【8】__________ 【9】__________ 【10】__________

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答文后问题。 Once, a student complained to his teacher about his unhappy life. The teacher decided to teach him a lesson. One day, he asked the student to get some salt and a glass of water. The student returned with a glass of clean water and a handful of salt. The teacher asked the young man to put the salt into the glass and drink it. "How does it taste?” the teacher asked. "It tastes bitter (味苦的),” the student replied. The teacher didn't say anything else, but asked the young man to get the same amount (数量) of salt and follow the teacher to a nearby lake. "Put the salt into the lake,” the teacher said. The young man did what the teacher said. "Now, taste the water from the lake,” the teacher said. As the water dropped down the young man’s chin, the teacher asked, “How does it taste?” "Fresh and a bit sweet,” the student said. "Do you taste the salt?” the teacher asked. "No,” the young man shook his head. The teacher sat beside the young man and said, “The pain of life is like salt — no more, no less. However, the amount of bitterness you taste depends on the container (容器) you put the pain in.” The amount of pain in life stays exactly the same. So when you are in pain, the only thing to do is to open up the mind. Stop being a glass, become a lake. 回答下面 5 个问题，每题答案不超过 5 个词。 【1】What did the student complain to his teacher about? 【2】Where did the teacher ask the student to put the salt at first? 【3】How did the water from the lake taste? 【4】What does the salt mean in the story? 【5】What should we do when we are in pain?
