It might happen to a 47 ,” she continued. “Then, see him ?” Grandma’s finger 48 to a boy with glasses in the photo. “He lived near me. When I was walking home by myself 49 this boy was, too, I said ‘hello’.

B When you enjoy a meal with your friends, how do you pay the bill? Does one person pay for everything? Or do you prefer to split the bill evenly instead? With mobile payments, many young people prefer the latter. Surprisingly, this can cause problems sometimes. Let’s say the bill for your lunch is 63 yuan. You and two friends decide to pay it evenly three ways---this means each person should pay 21 yuan. One of your friends says he’ll pay the full bill first.You and your other friend can give him what you owe(欠). It’s easy to pay the bill this way. You send your friend a WeChat red packet with the exact amount. Your other friend just gives him 20 yuan because he doesn’t have enough money in his account. Your friend who pays the bill might say there is no need to give him the rest, and so the other doesn’t. Guess what ? The friend who paid for lunch probably thinks more highly of you than your other friend. Why is this ? It’s because you agreed to split the bill evenly. Everyone should pay the same amount. Your friend who didn’t pay enough didn’t stick to your agreement(约定). This might make his credit(信用) drop, even if just a little bit. 54. What does the phrase “split the bill evenly” mean in Chinese ? A. 全额支付　　　　B. 分期付款　　　　C. 平均分摊 D. 信用消费 55. How much did the friend who paid the bill actually spend ? A. 63 yuan B. 20 yuan C. 21 yuan D. 22 yuan 56. What did your other friend do wrong ? A. He wanted to save some money. B. He didn’t follow the agreement. C. He didn’t have a good reason for not paying the right amount. D. He knew his friends wouldn’t care if he paid less. 57. What does the story teach us ? A. Credit is important. B. Face comes last. C. Money is a small matter in most cases. D. Mobile payments are useful. C When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music”, it doesn’t mean that he is going to hear a singer sing songs. It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your boss to tell him or her why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that. At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially (尤其) as children. We can all remember father’s angry words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was! In the middle or at the end of every term, some students have to “face the music”. The result (结果) of the exam will decide whether (是否) we will face the music or not. “If...” means parents’ cold faces and the contempt (轻视) of the teachers and classmates. “To face the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you have no choice (选择). 58. “To face the music” means ________________. . A. to hear a singer sing songs B. to do something we don’t like to do C. to go to the music show D. to do something we want to do 59. After the exam, we’ll have to “face the music”. That’s why ___________. . A. we are afraid of taking the exam B. we are afraid of passing the exam C. we like to take the exam D. the exam is not important at all 60. The underlined part “If...” really means . A. if you got an “A” in the exam B. if you got a “D” in the exam C. if the exam was difficult D. if the exam was quite easy 61. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The students who fail in the exam will face the music. B. “To face the music” has a history of more than 100 years. C. The young Americans know what “to face the music” means. D. Only old Americans know the meaning of “to face the music”. D Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or diving in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY, which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself. As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got his inspiration from. He told me that his favourite source(来源) of ideas was a DIY programme on TV. This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK. Each major channel has at least one home or garden makeover show and there’s even a satellite(卫星) channel entirely devoted to the subject. I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain---”an Englishman’s home is his castle” and “there’s no place like home”---show how important our houses are to us. With the current economic(经济的) downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice. But beware! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I won’t be going down to the hardware store. I’ll stick to watching DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea! 62. How does Pete prefer to spend his holidays these days ? A. Travelling and diving. B. Visiting his friends. C Doing DIY work to beautify his home. D. Helping his wife do housework. 63. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3, “This”, refer to ? A. Pete’s new kitchen. B. The writer’s visit to Pete. C A DIY programme on TV. D. Pete’s answer to the writer’s question. 64. Why do British people enjoy making their houses better by themselves ? A. They love to stay at home with their family. B. They don’t care about the cost fixing their houses. C. They value their houses and can save money with DIY. D. They have more holidays than people in other countries. 65. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ___________. A. the author is fond of watching TV. B. the author won’t do home improvement by herself. C. the author was once seriously hurt by hammers. D. British people know well how to protect themselves during DIY 五、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子的意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 66.
