III．完形填空（共25小题，每小题1分，满分25分。）
The sun was shinning when I got on No.151 bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That's one of the 41 rules. 42 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 43 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin 44 of newsprint to keep their 45 .
As the bus came near the Mile, a 46 suddenly rang out, " 47 ! This is your driver speaking." 48 . We looked at the back of the driver 's head. "Put your papers down. All of you." The 49 came down. "Now , turn and face the person next to you. Go 50 ."
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped 51 a red scarf. I saw her 52 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next 53 from the driver. "Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!"
Our voices were 54 . For many of us, these were the 55 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 56 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn't help 57 . There was the feeling of relief（解脱）, that we were not being 58 . But more, there was the sense of ice being 59 "Good morning, neighbor." It was not so 60 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, many laughed.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn't 61 to. Not a single newspaper went 62 . I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 63 .
When I reached my stop, I said 64 to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was 65 off better than most.

IV．阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Although Americans like to talk about their achievements（成就）, it is their custom（习俗）to show a certain modesty（谦虚）in reply to compliments（恭维）.
When someone praises an American upon achievement or personal appearance (which, incidentally（附带地）, is a polite thing to do), the American turns it aside. If someone says, "Congratulations on being elected president of the club," an American is expected to reply, "Well, I hope I can do a good job, 'or something of the sort. Or if someone says, "That's a pretty blue necktie you are wearing," an American is maybe to say, "I'm glad you like it," or "Thanks. My wife gave it to me for my birthday," The answer to a compliment seldom conveys（传达）the idea, "I, too, think it's a pretty good."
66．The main point of the paragraph is __________.
A．how to praise an American
B．the way Americans answer compliments
C．the importance of compliments in American life
D．what Americans dislike most

As more women in the United States move up the professional（职业的）ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good meal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion（消化）. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state（声明）that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate（提前做…）your travel needs as a businessman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding case inside you suitcase; it will come it extremely handy（方便）for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents（文件）and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful panning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!
74．What's the author's intended audience?（听众，读者）

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. "Last week," said he, "My umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."
"How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant (=business man).
"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No.20 broad Street."
"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one."
The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:" If the man who was seen to taken 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 paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door, In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

Dear Zhang Ning,
A discussion on how to review English for the college entrance exam will be held in the classroom of Class 1, Senior 3 at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Our English teacher Mr Wang will be invited to attend it. Two different opinions are to be mainly discussed:
1．The best way of learning English is to learn a large number of English words by heart and have a good command of the textbooks.
2．We can improve our English by doing a good number of NMET exercises. The textbooks are not important at all.
Please be there on time and give your opinions at the meeting.
Yours,
SunYue
