三、完形填空(每空1.5分，共30分)

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   26    side is much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   27    in good health, or   28    about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   29    damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   30   the title. Therefore, the scissors would   31   before they start,   32    halfway done when I find out the   33    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your   34   . You can only take up one of them; the other has to wait or be   35    up.

In fact that is what   40    is like: we are often   41    with the two opposite sides of the thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   42    we get into another. The   43    may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I   44    remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual   45    may not be a had one.

26.  A. front   B. same   C. either   D. opposite

27.  A. get   B. keep   C. lead   D. bring

28.  A. advice  B. news   C. a theory  D. a report

29.  A. suffer   B. reduce   C. prevent  D. cause

30.  A. on   B. for   C. without  D. off

31.  A. use   B. handle   C. prepare  D. stay

32.  A. or   B. but   C. so   D. for

33.  A. satisfying  B. regretful  C. surprising  D. impossible

34.  A. courage  B. strength  C. attention  D. patience

四、阅读理解(每小题分，共30分)

A

It was starting to get dark and Bobby turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the setting sun’s rays reflecting off something along the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime(一角钱). Never before has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby felt at that moment.

As he held his new found treasure, a warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store he saw.

His excitement quickly turned cold when the salesperson told him that he couldn’t buy anything with only a dime.

He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his ten cents offering. Then he said to him, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”

The sound of the door closed as the last customer left. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel cold and afraid. Suddenly the shop owner came out. There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve long stem, red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner picked them up and placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” The shop owner said reaching out his hand for the dime.

Sensing the boy’s reluctance(勉强), the shop owner added, “I just happened to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen. Would you like them?”

When the man placed the long box into his hands, he knew it was true. Walking out of the door that the owner was holding, Bobby heard the shopkeeper say, “Merry Christmas, son.”

46. Why did Bobby feel that he was rich?

A. Because he found a purse with many dollars

B. Because he found some money on the way home.

D. Because he found some hidden treasure.

47. What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A. Christmas gifts were always very expensive

B. The salesperson’s words greatly disappointed Bobby.

C. Bobby was tired of trying one shop after another

D. The salesperson was trying to cheat Bobby.
