The young policeman, Constable Rider, walked more quickly than usual, because of the cold, but he did not consciously neglect any part of his work. His torch flashed on doorways and windows as he looked for anything that was at all suspicious, and when he even thought that anything was unusual he went to try the door and window, probably unheard by the people sleeping in the room just above his head. As he turned a comer, he heard a slight rustling sound—it might be a cat, it could even be a dog, although few dogs wandered about at night. It might be a pair of lovers or it might be anything. Rider saw nothing.

A cat then? Usually if you disturbed a cat, it ran off and jumped, and you heard or noticed something else. By doing a lot of night work, you learned to notice these things, but now all riders noticed was the silence which had followed the rustling sound. So he acted cautiously. He did not flash his torch about the houses near the comer but walked on, and, a little way from the spot where he had heard the sound, stopped and bent his head, as if he was lighting a cigarette. A policeman who stopped to light a cigarette seemed the most unsuspicious policeman in the world.

There was still no sound. There were bushes in the garden of the house where Rider had first heard it and he knew that a man could hide there out of sight. But if he went back, it would ware any such man. So instead he stood and shone his torch at the window nearest him, and as if he had noticed something unusual, he walked towards it and opened the wooden gate, which made no sound at all. He reached the entrance and shone the torch on the keyhole of the front door and as he did so, the rustle came again, this time much more softly. He looked round quickly.

　　  1. What was Constable Rider doing on this very cold evening?

　　　　   A. He was looking for anything out of the ordinary.

　　    B. He was looking for something that had been lost.

　　　　   C. He was being careful not to disturb people.

　　　　   D. He was being careless in carrying on these duties.

　　  2. When he heard the rustling sound, he

　　　　   A. thought that it was probably caused by some animal

　　 B. knew that he had disturbed a cat

　　　　   C. thought that it was caused by the wind

　　　　   D. realized that he had turned a comer

　　  3. As he then heard no more sounds, Rider decided

　　　　   A. that he had been mistaken, and walked on

　　　　   B. that he might as well have a cigarette

　　　　   C. to flash his lamp on a window near the comer

　　　　  D. not to show that he had noticed anything

　　  4. Why did Constable Rider not go right back to the house on the comer?

　　　　   A. He had seen a man hiding there.

　　　　   B. He didn't want to use his torch.

　　　　   C. It would show that he had noticed something.

　　　　   D. There was still no sound from the garden.

四、閱讀理解 （共15 小題，30分）

閱讀下面四篇短文，從各題A、B、C、D 四個選項中選出最佳答案。

I like friends who share my happiness and sorrow,and who possess wings of their own and fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and help me to express my love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say,“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

    When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair, but our friendship was based on the idea that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we felt awful at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and visited many wonderful places. We walked until our despair disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

    For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters to each other in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…” We have never met.

    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理學(xué)家), who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1. In the eighth grade, what did the author do while her classmates started developing proper social behavior?

A. Become serious about her studies.                B. Went to her friend’s house regularly.     

C. Learned from her claamates at school.           D. Wrote poems and stories with her friend.

2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means “______”.

A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared[來源:Zxxk.Com]

D. we parted with each other in London

3. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend       

A. call each other regularly            B. have similar personalities

C. write stories                      D. sometimes dream about each other[來源:Zxxk.Com]

4. In the darkest moments, the author wants to             

A. seek professional help               B. be left alone

C. stay with her best friend            D. break the silence

5. What is a good title for the passage?

A. Unforgettable Experiences          B. Remarkable Imagination

C. Lifelong Friendships                D. Noble Companions

“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.

“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.

The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.

The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!

I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.

“Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”

 “Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.

“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.

“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.

The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”

I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.

1.How would the author and Jenna get along with each other after Christmas?

A. They would be close friends again.

B. They would not speak to each other.

C. They would lose touch with each other.

D. They would go on fighting with each other.

2.The underlined sentence “I was bossy” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.

A. I looked like a boss                               B. I acted as a boss

C. I was fond of giving orders                    D. I was fond of fighting

3.Which of the following is the right time order according to the passage?

a. Jamie became our friend.

b. I felt lonely and unhappy.

c. Jenna, Jamie and I fought a lot.

d. Jenna brought me a Christmas card.

e. I was sorry for what I did to her.

f. Jenna and I promised to be lifelong friends.

A. f a b c e d       B. a c f b d e         C. a b c f e d         D. f a c b d e

4.The author was delighted when she read the card from Jenna because _________.

A. what Jenna wrote was funny                  

B. Jenna would be her friend again

C. she was happy about the coming Christmas

D. she was happy to receive a Christmas card
