Then the girl in the restaurant pulled out a gun and shot him dead. Why? People asked to give reasonable explanation for the strange happening. All kinds of suggestions were made. She was able to recognize him as a dangerous prisoner who ran away from the prison; she thought he was to rob her; she misheard what he said; asking for a glass of water had a special meaning for her and so on. All these explanations showed that the gun was used on purpose (有目的) to harm the man. The idea was easily accepted. In fact, the explanation was that the man had an attack of hiccups (嚴重打嗝). It so happened that the girl in the restaurant knew that a great and sudden fear could get rid of hiccups. But she didnt know the gun happened to be loaded(上子彈) that day.1.

He was the strongest of the five but he didnt like to use his head. Of course he couldnt pass the examinations. Suddenly the war broke out. Young men were called on to join the army. His father thought for a long time and at last decided to send him to the military camp (軍營). Soon after that he was sent to France where they fought with Germans. The young man hated the life in the camp: They couldnt be supplied enough food and had to live in the cold and wet houses, sometimes they had to sleep on the hard ground and he was often afraid to be shot. He usually remembered the life in his country and tried to leave the camp. Once he made an excuse in order not to go to the front. Another soldier whose name was Bob reported the captain (上尉) about it. Fred was punished for it. He hated Bob and the captain very much. In a fight he hurt the captain and he was sent to the court (法庭) at once. Have you hurt the captain, Fred? asked a judge (法官) . Yes, I have, sir, answered the young man. But it was a fortuitous (偶然的) accident. Oh? the judge said in surprise. Why? The captain was standing just in front of Bob while I was shooting at the young soldier. So I hurt him by mistake.4.

Two B. Three C. Four D. Five C Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (聲稱) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.9. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _. A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting10. What is a birds “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted. B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other. D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.11. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps to frighten outsiders away. C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps to get rid of their fears.12. How does the writer explain birds singing? A. By comparing birds with human beings. B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds daily life.D. By telling a birds story.D What will man be like in the futurein 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may believe that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity (能力). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change till the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. Meanwhile, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive, for they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (禿頂?shù)?. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes; future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.13. Why is it certain that future man will be different? A. Because all our predictions will come true. B. Because man never stops changing. C. Because man hopes for a change. D. Because man will live a different life.14. Mans forehead will grow larger because _. A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in proper time. C. he had a rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago. D. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on.15. The passage tells us about _. A. how mans life will be in the future. B. what future man will look like. C. the fact that mans organs will function differently in the future.D. the fact that man is growing uglier as time goes on.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。How to be happier in lifeCreate a plan for yourself16 Sometimes its not about realizing the goal（目標）, but the hard work you put to get there.
