Saturday, May 14 Today I went to see a play at the Globe Theatre—it was Hamlet written by William Shakespeare. The theatre just looks like it was in the 17th century. Most of it is open-air, so you need to hope for good weather! The theatre is wonderful but I don’t think they offer enough space for the seats. I could hardly stand up after the 2-hour play. I’m going to Ireland tomorrow and leaving for home next Tuesday. How time flies! Drinking English tea in American way Wednesday, May 11 Today I went to Fortnum and Mason, one of the famous canteens in London for English afternoon tea. The waiter gave me a huge tea menu(菜单)—there were Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Orange Pekoe, and many others. When I ordered some cake, biscuits and a coffee, the waiter gave me a STRANGE look! London, at last! Monday, May 9 It wasn’t a great start of my tour in London. Yesterday after I got off the plane, I couldn’t find my bags. The airport told me that my bags had missed the plane when we changed our flight in Rome. They were on a later flight! So I had to wait three more hours at the airport. After I got my bag, I took the special airport train into the center of London. There were three other groups of American tourists beside me—I felt like I was still at home! 26.

I could hardly stand up after the 2-hour play.”可知，这个剧院很好，但是作者认为他们没有足够的地方放座位。演了两个小时的戏剧，作者几乎站不起来了。故可推测出，作者认为座位坐着不舒服。故选D。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The waiter gave me a huge tea menu(菜单)—there were Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Orange Pekoe, and many others”可知，服务员给了作者茶菜单，故划线单词是一种茶。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The airport told me that my bags had missed the plane when we changed our flight in Rome. They were on a later flight! So I had to wait three more hours at the airport”可知，作者的行李错过了飞机。它们在晚一点的航班上，所以他不得不在机场再等三个小时。故选D。 29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“There were three other groups of American tourists beside me—I felt like I was still at home”可知，作者旁边还有另外三组美国游客——这让他觉得他还在家里，故可推测出，作者来自美国。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“John Adam’s Blog”和“Home Article Picture Registered”可知，这是一篇博客，故文章是来自于网站上。故选C。 B When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument（争吵）with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 31. What did the teacher do at first? A. She shouted at the boys. B. She called the boys’ parents. C. She walked out of the classroom. D. She brought the boys to her desk. 32. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in paragraph 2? A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Afraid. D. Thankful. 33. Why did the writer give two different answers? A. Because he was unfriendly to Tony. B. Because he changed his place with Tony. C. Because he wanted to have another argument. D. Because he turned around the object. 34. What would the writer probably do after this lesson? A. He would forget the arguments. B. He might shake hands with Tony. C. He would sit in the front of the class. D. He might listen to the teacher carelessly. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Great minds think the same B. Many hands make light work C. Look at things in another way D. Burn the candle at both ends 【答案】31. D 32. A 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在八年级时跟同学产生了一次激烈的争吵，老师让作者和另外一位同学明白，要学会站在对方的角度去考虑问题。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. ”可知，老师先把这两个男孩带到桌子前，故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! ‘Clearly, it was black!’”可知，作者看到的是黑色，而Tony回答是白色，所以Tony的回答让作者感到惊讶，故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We changed places, and now she asked me what color the sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black.”可知，因为作者再次站在不同的方向时，看到这个物体是另一个颜色，所以给出了两个不同的答案，故选B。 34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.”可知，自从那以后作者和Tony成为了好朋友，由此可推断经过这个事情他们会握手言和，故选B。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes”可知，本文通过作者的经历告诉我们要站在别人的角度考虑问题，所以C选项“学会从另一个角度看问题”符合本文标题，故选C。 C ____36____ Paul is a Chinese film director.

Saturday, May 14 Today I went to see a play at the Globe Theatre—it was Hamlet written by William Shakespeare. The theatre just looks like it was in the 17th century. Most of it is open-air, so you need to hope for good weather! The theatre is wonderful but I don’t think they offer enough space for the seats. I could hardly stand up after the 2-hour play.

The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes.
