Thief'.Someone had heard me shouting and called the police, who arrived within minutes.Some passersby helped me restrain(控制住) Peter, who by then had stopped fighting.”The police put Peter into the back of their police car.He soon was accused of breaking and entering, and began a threeyear sentence in London's Pentonville Prison.It was the 34th prison in which he had been incarcerated(監(jiān)禁), but, despite having spent 18 years of his life in prison, Peter somehow remained hopeful that he could clean himself up, stop taking drugs and go on to do something useful on his eventual release.A few weeks later, Will received a telephone call from police officer Kim Smith, who explained that a trial in restorative(恢復(fù)性的) justice was about to take place and he wondered if Will would like to meet Peter, who was waiting for sentencing.Will met Peter again.He says, “I thought I might be able to help him change his_ways.”Will saved Peter's life.“We're great friends, we get on extremely well, and when we meet, we talk about everything,” says Will.“Peter's a fine man.”1What is NOT true about Peter Woolf and Will Riley?AThey are of the same age.BThey hug each other when they meet.CThey talk about everything when they meet.DThey've been good friends since they were children.2In which year were Peter and Will most probably born?AIn 1947.

February 14, 2020;2020.The dog has a royal name: Palacegarden Malachy.After being named Best in Show, Malachy celebrated by nestling his 11pound body inside the silver cup trophy(獎(jiǎng)品)Competition for the top prize was fierce.Malachy beat out more than 2,000 dogs, including a Dalmation, a German Shepherd and a Kerry blue Terrier.But to judge Cindy Vogels, Malachy was the clear winner.“Super dog, and he had a surprising night,” she said.“There are a lot of dogs in a small package.”Peter Fitzpatrick is Malachy's handler and coowner.He says that there will be no more shows for the fouryearold dog.Malachy, he said, will most likely go home to East Berlin, Pennsylvania, to enjoy a quiet life in the country.“He will probably chase squirrels and he'll be pampered(縱食),” Fitzpatrick said.Today, however, Malachy has a packed schedule.He made television appearances this morning and had lunch this afternoon at Sardi's, a famous New York City restaurant, where he ate from a silver plate.Later, Malachy will visit businessman and TV personality, Donald Trump.He will raise a leg to help ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow.Dogs are not the only ones in the spotlight at Westminster.Young people aged 9 to 18 are eligible to take part in Junior Showmanship.In this competition, judges look carefully at the kids, not the dogs.They watch to see how well

boomers(生育高峰期出生的人),and the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.”說明這些人想過一種新的生活。3C推理判斷題。根據(jù)這篇短文的內(nèi)容可推斷出這個(gè)組織的成員相信男女平等。4B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從倒數(shù)第二段“Ellen Cooper,who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998”可知,Ellen

不打不相識:英國小偷與失主成十年好友。1D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“They're now really good friends, but they weren't ten years ago.”可知彼得·伍爾夫和威爾·瑞利并非從小就一直是好朋友,故選D項(xiàng)。2B推理判斷題。由第一段可知現(xiàn)年55歲的彼得·伍爾夫和威爾·瑞利是好朋友,但十年前他們不是,而十年前即為2002年,由此不難推斷他們出生在1957年(2002451957)。3C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“And when Will walked into his bedroom to get something, he was shocked to find an unpleasantsmelling man in front of him.”可知彼得·伍爾夫進(jìn)入威爾的家后并沒有立即被發(fā)現(xiàn),故選C項(xiàng)。4B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段“a desperate heroin addict with a 30year habit who had broken into Will's home to steal whatever valuables he could then sell to buy drugs.”可推斷彼得有吸毒和偷東西的不良嗜好,由此判斷選B項(xiàng)。5A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可判斷威爾·瑞利的勇敢,根據(jù)他幫助彼得改過自新可判斷他的善良,故選A項(xiàng)。(三)【語篇解讀】 一條北京哈巴狗在威斯敏斯特養(yǎng)狗場俱樂部表演中獲得了最佳表演獎(jiǎng)。1C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句可知這條北京哈巴狗個(gè)子不大但是有著很長的毛,因此答案C項(xiàng)正確。2A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的“to enjoy a quiet life in the country”可知Malachy將享受安靜而舒適的生活。3D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的第二句可知答案D項(xiàng)正確;注意此題目是說Malachy在今天已經(jīng)做的事情,因此B和C項(xiàng)不符合要求,因?yàn)檫@是Malachy即將要做的事情。4C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的“It is really amazing, and it's also a real honor to be here”可知Zeitz認(rèn)為參加這次比賽非常值得。5B主旨大意題。文章主要是說Malachy在威斯敏斯特養(yǎng)狗場俱樂部獲得了最佳表演獎(jiǎng)這則消息,因此B是最佳選項(xiàng)。
