Part Two Reading and Writing

(第三部分 读写)

IV． Reading comprehension （阅读理解） ：(43%)

A. True or False （判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示)：（6*2%）

In many big cities there are people who can not get work. Sometimes they do not want to work, but sometimes there isn’t any work for them to do.

Some of these people beg（乞讨） for money. Some of them sell boxes of matches（火柴） or cheap pens， and some of them sell flowers.

Andrew Chen never gave money to beggars（乞丐）. “People should work for their money,” he believed. He also believed there was work for everyone, which was not true.

One day when he was waiting for a bus, a beggar came up and asked him for money. The beggar was an old woman wearing very old and dirty clothes. She had no shoes and she was selling some sweet-smelling（香的） flowers. “Give an old woman ten dollars, mister，” she said to Andrew. “I haven’t had a meal for three days.” “I’m not giving you ten dollars,” Andrew said.

“What about five dollars， then, mister，” the poor old woman said. “That’ll buy me a couple of pieces of bread.” “No，” Andrew said.

“Then what about one dollar, ” the old woman said. “I can buy an orange for one dollar.” “I haven’t got one dollar, ” Andrew said. “Now go away.”

The old woman looked at him sadly, and then gave him her flowers. “Here, mister，” she said. “You have these. You need them more than I do.”

判断True or False：

( ) 1. People who cannot find work often sell things in the street. ( ) 2. The woman who was begging sold boxes of matches. ( ) 3. Andrew gave the woman five dollars.

( ) 4. The woman said she could buy an apple for one dollar. ( ) 5. Andrew told the old woman to go away. ( ) 6. At last, the old woman gave Andrew one dollar.
