Ref. GBS / SW / 4CJ
Dear Sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd. 1 this set（eight books of plays and two books of poetry） at 2 was claimed to be a 'remarkable' 3 : fifteen pounds and fifty pence, 4 postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books in red imitation leather, looked particularly 5 ; so I sent for them. Two weeks later, the books arrived, 6 with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not 7 , so I returned the Dickens books to you, with a 8 for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there 9 on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six-book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I don't read French, these were of no use to me at all. 10 , I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to You at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and 11 all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further 12 . You did not reply to that letter. 13 you sent me a bill for forty-two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two 14 : the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I 15 know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to 16 in the rain outside.
I have no 17 for any more books, and even if I read from now on until the Last 18 , I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.
Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters 19 payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, 20 me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours faithfully,
SIMON ALKER

(1) A 上文Cosmo Books Ltd.在the Morning Mail作廣告銷售《莎士比亞全集》，這句是說該公司以十分優(yōu)惠的價格向訂購者提供這套書.四個選項均為及物動詞，但只有“提供”之意，為最佳選擇. (2) C 引導(dǎo)賓語從句須用從屬連詞，排除B.其余三個選項中只有what表示“……那樣” (3) B 其后的錢數(shù)已表明了全套書的價格. (4) C 廣告在此的意思是這個數(shù)目已包含有郵資和包裝費，說明價格非常低廉. (5) B 作者本來早就想買一套莎士比亞的劇本和詩集，現(xiàn)在又看到裝幀漂亮的紅色仿革封面，自然看起來非常有吸引力了. (6) D together with意為“和”、“連同”.這句是說兩周后我要的書收到了，此外還有別的東西. (7) A 這里指所寄的書中還有作者并未訂購的《狄更斯全集》，此空填動詞 order意為“訂購”. (8) C 這句意思是作者向該公司退還沒有訂購的《狄更斯全集》并附上一張購《莎士比亞全集》書款所須的一張15英鎊50分的支票. (9) B 這是一個倒裝句，there結(jié)構(gòu)中還可以不用be而用exist，live，stand，arrive之類的不及物動詞.此空填arrived表示“(被)送來”. (10) C 四個選項的副詞都可以在句中作插入語.但根據(jù)句意，這里是說作者無論如何也付不起將這些書全寄回去的郵費，故此空填However,意為“無論如何”、“不管怎樣”，用來加強語氣. (11) B 上文中I could not afford to post all these books back to you表明，作者是要該售書公司派人來拿走這些書.四個選項的動詞只有took有“拿走”之意，為最佳選擇. (12) A 這里作者勸阻該售書公司不要再郵寄書來，除非另有通知，即再有訂單，這里notice意為“通知”. (13) B 這里是說該售書公司沒有給作者回信，而是寄給作者一張42英鎊的賬單，故此空應(yīng)填副詞Instead，意思是“反而”、“卻”. (14) D 上文敘述了收到所訂購的書是two weeks later，后又有Two more weeks passed，又來了一套《莎士比亞全集》，由此可知，每兩周寄來一次書，故填weeks. (15) C 從語氣來看，這句是說書多得令作者幾乎不知道是些什么書了. (16) C keep和stop主語不對；lie表示“位于”指平放在某物之上; stand表“位于”指在某處.此處指小汽車停放的地點，故填stand. (17) B room前不加冠詞表“空間”.上文說成箱的書存放在汽車庫，連小汽車都得停留在外地受雨淋，可見汽車庫里沒有空間再存放更多的書. (18) B the Last Day表示“世界末日”為固定搭配.這里是說作者認為即使我從現(xiàn)在開始讀.一直讀到世界末日也讀不完你所送來的書. (19) A 四個選項均為及物動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，都可以作后置定語，但所表達的意思不同：demand要求；include包括；expect期望；inform告知.這里作者是在懇求該售書公司不要再送書，不要再送賬單，不要再送要求付賬的信.故此空應(yīng)填demanding，現(xiàn)在分詞短語作后置定語. (20) D leave sb. with sth.表示將某物留給某人是固定搭配，這里是作者請求該售書公司派車把書運走，僅剩下那套付過錢的莎士比亞著作. |

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺負）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的觀點). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?
1. A．kind B．sensitive C．fair D．generous

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven 29 years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life 30 . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I felt my 31 at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what 32 me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house 33 did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and 34 asked him to leave me alone.
Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, 35 I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely 36 from my mind, reached through the bars (護欄). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched 37 . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me 38 so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39 ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．
In fact that is what 44 is like；we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s 49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不經(jīng)意的） 50 may not be a bad one．
