A

To hitch-hike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. To fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, and a student his scarf. In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver's attention.

When I hitch-hiked 9，500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者). I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply.

But even with careful preparation, you must not assume that the task will be easy. You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of) hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America, my average wait was half an hour, and my longest is two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day: they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.

Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people. On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi. There are also lesser (较小的) risks: you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver. You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.

If the hitch-hiker in the US will remember that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4，500 of those 9，500 miles I hitch-hiked in the States.

16．A serviceman should wear his uniform ________．

A．so as not to look too unusual

B．to attract attention

C．to show he is on duty

D．to put the driver at ease

17．In Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer ________．

A．has sometimes failed to hitch a ride

B．has marched from Aldermaston to London

C．has been successful in hitching a ride

D．has had to wait for long hours for a ride

18．The main idea of Paragraph 4 is that ________．

A．it is dangerous to be in a car with strangers

B．hitch-hiking may turn out to be risky sometimes

C．a hitch-hiker must also learn the art of quick excuse

D．hitch-hikers might come across bad drivers

19．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us that a hitch-hiker should ________．

A．not talk to the driver too much

B．fall asleep to make it a peaceful ride

C．try to make himself pleasant and entertaining

D．not offer to drive

20．A suitable title for the passage would be “________”．

A．The art of hitch-hiking

B．An Englishman's view of the US

C．An English hitch-hiker

D．The joys and dangers of hitch-hiking

B[2012·湖南卷]

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?

This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.

I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.

Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

21. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ________．

A．doing shopping B．having a debate

C．reading a message D．leaving for Wyoming

22．The author's inspiration for the gift came from ________．

A．a photo of a flower

C．a call from the mother

D．a text about Christmas

23．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by ________．

A. the father B．the author

C．William Blake D．Edgar Allan Poe

24．The author made the gift by ________．

A．searching for the poems online

B．drawing the background by hand

C．painting the letters in three colors

D．matching the words with pictures

25．What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To show how to design images for gifts.

B．To suggest making gifts from one's heart.

C．To explain how computers help create gifts.

D.To describe the gifts the author has received.

课时作业(三)

Ⅰ.在日常生活中，我们有许多的规章条例。有的规章制度是无形存在的，有的是显而易见的。人们都在遵守着这些规章制度。

1. A　考查形容词。与下文hurt or bully others 意义相对的应是be kind to other people故选A项。语境为：我们知道，一些事情是明显正确的，比如，善待别人。

2. C　考查副词。与第一句some things are obviously right中的obviously相对应，故选的是同义词clearly。

3. D　考查名词。由常识和下句…tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes可知，规章制度告诉人们如何作出正确“选择”。故选的是D项。

4. A　考查名词。由常识和上句中的crashes可知选accidents(事故)。这里accidents是crashes同义词复现。

5. C　考查形容词。由逻辑推断可知，如果人们遵守规章制度而不用考虑其他事情，他们就很“容易”形成“是非”观。故选C项。interesting有趣的； vital重要的；valuable有价值的。

6. D　考查副词。根据语境中的反义词复现确定答案。句中“tell the truth”与“lying”相对，而与“always”相对的应是“never”。故选D项。

7. A　考查名词。 由常识可知，坚持己见的人有时也会“ get into trouble”，“惹上麻烦”。而“上台(get into power)”与语境不符，“坐牢(get into prison)”是惹上麻烦的一种程度极深的情况，不具有普遍性，所以该项干扰最大。故选A项。

8. D　考查副词。由下文举的例子Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is…to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and…be kind to animals(有的人认为吃肉
