He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The womans umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “Thats my umbrella!”Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry, “Oh, Im very sorry, Madam! I didnt mean it!”Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with herself. “It seems that I had a better result than the other four women.” She thought.21. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _.A. his ticket B. his bag C. his drawing D. his umbrella22. When looking at Mr. Brown with four umbrellas, the woman thought _.A.

How did Mr. Brown get the four umbrellas?A. He picked them on the train. B. He brought them from his small town. C. He bought them in London. D. He stole them from four women.BAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.24. The passage is mainly about _. A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than men C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness25. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow26 Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.27. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true? A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D. All of them see everything in shades of green.CWhen you go to St. Petersburg, the number of attractions can seem overwhelming.

Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives? Picture this: Youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Dont be available all the time, Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Dont check your e-mail every day.Dont reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.32The passage is mainly about _.Athe problem with technology Bimprovements of our life with technologyCthe important roles technology plays in our everyday lifeDmajor changes which will be likely to happen to technology33The writer quoted（引用）what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to _.Ashare a truth about life Btell us what life was like long time agoCmake us wonder what causes such a thing to happenDpoint out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same34Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house? Because _.Athey liked to live simple livesBthey were curious about how people lived without modern inventionsCthey were troubled by modern inventionsDliving in a different time would be a lot of fun for them35What does the underlined word “available” in the 1st suggestion offered by the writer mean?ABusy on line BFree.CBe able to DBe found by others.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.1.
