B A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper. “Last week,” he said, “my umbrella was stolen(偷) from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth(价值) in advertising, but I didn’t get it back.” “________” asked one of the listeners, a businessman. “Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket, a piece of paper cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. If any gentleman finds it and leaves it at No.10 Broad Street, he will receive ten pounds.” “Now,” said the businessman, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is very important. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.” The businessman then took a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.” This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was surprised when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours, his own was among them. Many of them had notes with them saying that they took them by mistake, and begging(乞求) the loser not to say anything about the matter. 54．From the first advertisement, we could know anyone who ________ would receive ten pounds.

A. how useless it was to put advertisements B. how to make the advertisements come into use C. why the man wanted to get his umbrella back D. what the businessman did for the umbrella owner C Recently, a new kind of tourism has begun in China, called “special forces style tourism(特种兵式旅游)”. It features visiting many places of interest in a short period, most often on weekends. Most of these visitors are college students, reported China Youth Daily.  Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started her tour in March after being deeply touched by such travels of Xiaohongshu bloggers(博主). “Trapped in school for almost 3 years because of COVID-19, I’m now hungry to take trips,” said Yu.  ① Most of her trips were started from her daily life, such as a chat with friends. “But making a plan carefully for the trip is important,” Yu said. She found lots of information before travelling. That would help save time when travelling and enjoy the places better.  ② Her last trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local places. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy this trip as much as days-long trips.”  ③ Unlike Yu travelling in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral (博士学位的) student in Shanghai, likes to travel far to get herself free from schoolwork. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the famous places in the city. “Such a trip can bring a bright colour to my busy life!” said Chen. ④ “It’s labor-consuming (消耗体力的).Visitors try to see as many places as possible in a short period,” Chen said. In some ways, such trips are not as flexible(灵活的) as days-long trips because you can’t change your plan. “So, enough energy and a clear mind are necessary for this tour,” said Chen.  58. Which of the following examples is a kind of “special forces style tourism”? A. John, a manager in a company, travels to Suzhou with his wife for about a month. B. Lucy, a primary school student, travels to Nanjing with her classmates on Friday. C. Mike, a college student, travels to many places in Hangzhou with his friend on Saturday. D. Mary, a high school teacher, travels to Hainan with her husband during summer holiday. 59. Why does Yu Yinghua use the word “hungry” in paragraph 2? A. To record her love of travelling on Xiaohongshu. B. To express her great interest in going on trips again. C. To describe that she didn’t have meals for a long time. D. To show her pity because of staying at school for a long time. 60. The sentence “But such kind of tourism may not be proper for everyone.” should be put in ______. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 61. Where may this passage come from? A. A comic book. B. A novel report. C. A film review. D. A travel magazine. D Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in 80 Days, has inspired (激励) many people to travel around the world in unusual ways. It has also inspired several films, TV series, theatre productions and even a board game. So where did Jules Verne get the idea from? Jules Verne told a reporter that he had been sitting in a café in Paris one day when he saw a newspaper advertisement for the first ever tourist trip around the world in 1872. In Jules Verne’s story, a rich English gentleman, Phileas Fogg, accepts a bet of £20, 000 that he can travel round the world in 80 days. Phileas Fogg is a man who is very hard to please. For example, he fires his servant (仆人) because he brings him some water to wash in that is 29℃ instead of 30℃. He has a very strict(严格的) routine (惯例) and he follows it to the letter every day. Fogg employs (雇佣) a new servant, Passepartout, and on Wednesday, 2nd October, 1872, they set off on the journey round the world. While he’s in India, Fogg falls in love with an Indian girl, Aouda. The journey ends back in London with Fogg believing that he has arrived a day too late and that he has lost the bet. He tells Aouda that he cannot marry her now, as he’s too poor. Passepartout learns that they have got the date wrong. The party travelled east, so they gained a day. Fogg hurries to his club and arrives there in time to win the bet and the story ends happily. The story is an easy read. The humorous twists and turns of the plot (情节) keep you enjoyable throughout. It is a romantic(浪漫的) adventure story that I would strongly recommend to all my friends. 62. What gave Jules Verne the idea for the story? A. He had seen a film about a trip around the world. B. He saw an advertisement for a holiday trip around the world. C. He had just returned from an interesting trip around the world. D. He had seen a play at the theatre about a round-the-world holiday. 63. What does the writer mean by saying “he follows it to the letter”? A. He follows a routine written down in a letter. B. He writes a letter about his routine every day. C. He follows exactly the same routine every day. D. He has written the routine down in a letter for his servant. 64. Why does Phileas Fogg employ a new servant? A. His new servant asks for less money. B. His old servant boils the water too hot. C. His old servant makes one little mistake. D. His old servant is always making mistakes. 65. What is the writer’s opinion of the book? A. The book is worth reading before setting out on a long journey. B. The book has a very serious message about world travel for readers of all ages. C. The book is only interesting for people who would like to read romantic novels. D. The book is a fun adventure story with romance that everybody will enjoy reading. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）（每空一词） 66. She risked ▲ (touch)the sharp knife to cut the rope quickly. 67.

One day a tall man with a scar (伤疤) on his face arrived. He opened the door of the inn, singing the song I know so well: “Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest — Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!” “A glass of rum,” he said when he came inside. “This is a pleasant inn.” he said. “Do you have many customers?” “Not many,” my father answered. “Well, this is the place for me. You can call me ‘captain’,” he said. Then he asked a man to carry his large sailor’s chest(水兵的箱子) to his room. “I’m a simple man,” he told my father. “Rum and bacon(培根) and eggs is all I want. Here are four gold coins to start. Tell me when I have to pay more.” During the day he went to the cliffs (悬崖) with his telescope and in the evening he sat by the fire drinking rum and water. He asked about sailors every day. We soon understood that he wanted to keep away from them. When a sailor visited the inn, the captain was always very quiet. One day he asked me, “If you see a sailor with one leg, tell me as soon as he arrives.” When the captain drank too much rum, he sang sea songs and told the other customers terrible stories about his violent (暴力的) life at sea. He stayed month after month, but he didn’t give my father any more money. My poor father was too frightened to ask. Everyone was frightened of the captain and his stories. The only person who was not afraid of him was the local doctor and magistrate (治安法官), Dr. Livesey. “If you keep drinking rum like that, you will very soon be dead,” he warned the captain. Taken from Treasure Island 76. What did the captain look like? 77. How much did the captain pay at first? 78. Why did the captain ask about sailors every day? 79.
