Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

The day began early.

An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise. But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only, and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs. It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short, though crowded, period of noise.

The morning came. Even before the morning, at half-past three o’clock, a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.

The number of the horns was most remarkable! It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns! “How many little boys are there? How many have we?” exclaimed Mr. Peterkin, going over their names one by one mechanically thingking he would do it, as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence, to put himself to sleep. The counting could not put him to sleep now, in such a loud noise.

And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed! Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes, and the ceasing of the horns. Why did not the signal come? Why didi not Elizabeth Eliza stop them?

And certainly it was long before sunrise; there was no dawn to be seen! “ We’ll not try this plan again,” said Mrs. Peterkin. “If we live to another Fourth,” added Mr. Peterkin, hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs.

Alas! Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them. Mrs. Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day, and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before. This accounted for the number of horns.

It would have been impossible to hear any explanation;but the five minutes were over, and the horns had ceased, and there remained only the noise of a singular leaping of feet, explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight, that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drawning of the glorious day, the sunrise, or “the rising of the sons,” as Mr. Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities.

66. According to the passage, which event happened first?

A. Mr. Peterkin noted how many boys there were. B. The Peterkins were awakened by the boys. C. Elizabeth gave the signal to stop the horns. D. Mr. Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had. 【参考答案】B 【考查内容】细节题

【试题解析】本题较难，学生易选错D答案，因为文中的““How many little boys are there? How many have we?” exclaimed Mr. Peterkin”；但是在上一段中“a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.”，可以看出是The Peterkins是先被吵醒的，所以本题选B. 67. What did the 7th paragraph talk about?

A. The palce where the boys blew their horns. B. The time when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them. C. The way how the boys blew their horns. D. The reason why more horns were over there. 【参考答案】D

【考查内容】段落概括题

【试题解析】本题可以定位到第七段，根据最后一句“This accounted for the number of horns.”，意思是“这解释了horns的数量”，所以本题答案是D.

68. The probable main idea of this passage is that _______________.

A. the little boys didn’t carry out the agreement thoroughly B. the little boys didn’t see the signal to stop blowing their horns. C. the little boys blew horns to greet the dawn of July 4th so early. D. the Peterkins enjoyed children’s blowing of the horns on July 4th. 【参考答案】C

【考查内容】主旨大意题

【试题解析】本题是概括全文大意题，根据第二段“An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by

the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise.”虽然后面出现了一些小问题，第七段“Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them.”因此推断出是庆祝这个节日，而且吹号角提前了1小时。

69. Which question is not answered in the story? A. When did the horn blowing begin? B. How long ago did the custom start?

C. Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning? D. How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing? 【参考答案】B 【考查内容】细节题

【试题解析】本题细节题，要到文中找出答案。A，第七段“Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early.”。C，第二段“They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise.”。D，最后一段可以看出。只有B 文中是找不到答案。

(B)

Settling in to life at Oxford When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike(most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize. One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university. International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford 12
