第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，30分）

（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

While Nick was on the bus, reading his newspaper, the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large envelope into his hands. “Here, take this!” the man said, stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.

Nick sat there, holding the envelope. It felt heavy. There were papers inside, or money perhaps. “I’d better hand it over to the police,” he thought. There was a police station close to his office. But, as he got off the bus, a man came to him. He seemed to be waiting for something. “He wants the envelope,” Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly, and the man hurried after him. Nick started to run, and the man began to run, too. But then, just before he got to the police station, Nick managed to lose the man in the crowds. When he entered the police station, the man was no longer in sight.

Inside the police station, Nick handed over the envelope to a policeman in charge. The man opened it. The envelope was full of money, false money. “Clearly the man made a mistake,” the policeman said. “He thought you were one of the gang (团伙)!”

Nick felt like a hero. He could already see his name in all the papers. He could imagine an interview on television.

“However,” the policeman went on, “I’m afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this. We’re trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don’t want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustn’t say a word to anyone – not even your boss!”

21. The man who suddenly gave Nick an envelope was most probably________.

A. Nick’s friend B. a thief C. the bus driver D. a postman

22. Nick decided to give the envelope over to the police probably because________.

A. the whole thing was strange B. another man was waiting for it

C. he didn’t want the money inside it D. the police station was near his office

23. As Nick got off the bus, a man came to him because________.

A. he wanted to catch Nick B. he thought Nick was a policeman

C. he wanted to give Nick some money D. he thought Nick was one of their gang

24. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Nick had an unusual experience. B. Nick became a hero.

C. A gang of thieves were caught. D. A gang of thieves made a mistake.

B

Does your local town have a nickname (绰号)? If so, what does it say about the area and the people who live there?

Many cities are recognized across the world by their unofficial names. New York is the Big Apple, London is the Big Smoke, and Los Angeles is famously called La La Land.

A project has been carried out to make a survey on how the nicknames of some places came about. The University of Winchester’s Professor Bill Lucas is a patron (赞助者) of the English Project. He explains that unofficial place names often show what people think about a place.

“The name that people create for a place forms a connection with feelings,” he says.

Basingstoke is a town in central England. The local nickname, Amazingstoke, shows the love that locals seem to have for the area.

Swindon, on the other hand, is sometimes called Swindump, showing that some people think it’s a dump (垃圾场). Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals. And Padstow in Cornwall is so closely connected with the local famous person Rick Stein that it’s become known as Padstein.

Some people say that the project may have a practical use. Glen Hart, the survey’s head of research, says the information could be very helpful to the emergency services, for example. “By having the most complete set of nicknames we could help the emergency services（应急服务机构）quickly locate the right place as soon as possible, for people usually remember the nicknames of some places instead of their official names. And this will take the helpers less time to reach the places.” he says.

25. The best title of the passage can be ________.

A. People’s Attitudes to Nicknames B. A Survey on Nicknames

C. Development of Nicknames D. Usefulness of Nicknames

26. The underlines word “locate” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.

A. search B. visit C. mark D. find

27. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. every famous place has a nickname

B. the town Swindon must be a clean place

C. sometimes nicknames can help save lives

D. Rick Stein nicknamed Padstow Padstein
