The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teachers belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him. The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again. The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first. A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, “Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till youve found a place to settle in, sir.” “Good idea,” said the blacksmith. The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone. “Sorry I am going, Jude.” said the latter gently.Tears rose into the boys eyes. He admitted that he was sorry. “So am I,” said Mr. Phillotson. “Why do you go, sir?” asked the boy. “Welldont speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.”The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawleys fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.At nine oclock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye.41.

Percy is a performer in a night-club and just before he was due to appear on the stage, it was discovered that he was not in his usual place. There was certainly good cause to worry because Percy is a dangerous snake and he is over six feet long.The search for Percy lasted several days and a great number of people joined in. As Percy could not possibly have gone out into the streets, he must still be hiding somewhere in the club. The searchers found that some of the boards in Percys room had rotted and there was a gap in the floor. It seemed likely that Percy had slipped under the floor and then crept behind a wall where there was a nice warm central heating unit.The manager of the club suggested that Percy might have found some mice behind the wall and eaten them. Since then he had probably curled round the warm pipes and gone to sleep. As a snake that has had a satisfying meal can sleep for several days continuously, a determined effort had to be made to get him out. The hot water was therefore turned off immediately and the temperature in the room fell to zero. But Percy, who has the reputation of being a lazy creature, made no attempt to come out. The manager then tried something else. He placed a dish full of tasty delicacies(精美食品) near the broken floor-boards again Percy failed to appear. With the hot water turned off, it was decided that Percy must be freezing by now, so an electric fire was put into his room to encourage him to come in and warm himself. To help him make up his mind even more quickly, cold air was blown under the floor-boards. Even these measures did not succeed, so there was only one thing left to do. The next morning, the whole wall was carefully knocked down brick by brick so as not to frighten Percy with too much noise. The hot water pipes were gradually laid bare, but, to their astonishment, the searchers found no sign of Percy anywhere.46. Why did Percys mysterious disappearance worry everybody a great deal?A.

How to Find a SnakeCSusan Sontag (1933 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.Seriousness was one of Sontags lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content, beauty over morals”.By conviction she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor published in 1978, after she suffered cancershe argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed(被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.51. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag _.A. was a symbol of American cultural life B. developed world literature, film and art C. published many essays about world culture D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture52. She first won her name through _.A. her story of a Polish actress B. her book Illness as Metaphor C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings D. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review 53. From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that _.A. She was more a moralist than a sensualistB. She was more a sensualist than a moralistC. She believed repressed personalities mainly led to illnessD. She would like to re-examine old positions54. According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except _.A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities.C. “Form” should be over “content”, “beauty” should be over “morals”.D.

An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.57. Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be d
