9、ertford Estate,Rickmansworth,Middx.25th FebruaryRef. GBS/SW/4CJ Dear Sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd., (21) this set(eight books of plays and two books of poetry ) at what w

They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt
25、at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened. “Who did this?“ my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. “This is all your fault, Kathari
26、ne,“ my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table. But the Whites didnt worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their liv
27、es. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a ne
28、w drivers license(驾照), Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters shared the driving of Sarahs new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in Sout
29、h Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didnt see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to st
30、op in time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that Ive ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose
31、a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amys leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls tears and made a few jokes a
32、t Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “Were so glad that youre alive.“I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a
33、 stop sign. Mrs. White said, “Janes gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death?“They were right. Amy graduated from the University of Ca
34、lifornia and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. Shes also a mother of two little girls of her own, the older named Jane.（分数：9.00）(1).The author of the passage is_.（分数：3.00）A.Mrs. Whites nieceB.Janes school friendC.the Whites cousinD.Sarahs friend fro
35、m college(2).The Whites did not blame Amy for Janes death because_.（分数：3.00）A.they didnt want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her lifeB.Amy was badly injured herself and they didnt want to add to her painC.they didnt want to blame their children in front of othersD.Amy was their younge
36、st daughter and they loved her best(3).From the passage we can learn that_.（分数：3.00）A.Amy has never recovered from the shockB.Amy changed her job after the accidentC.Amy lost her memory after the accidentD.Amy has lived quite a normal lifeCBefore a new type of airplane goes into service, every part
37、of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.The first is called the “tank test“. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure(结构) of the plane has to
38、 be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the stru
39、cture of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it wou
40、ld anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once.
41、 The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilots job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.（分数：12.00）(1).By doing the “tank test“, the engineers can find out_.（分数：3.00）A.the amount of
42、air in the planeB.the strength of the plane structureC.the pressure inside and outside the planeD.the power of the airplane engines(2).What will happen to the plane under the “tank test“?（分数：3.00）A.It will be broken.B.It will be made stronger.C.It will be filled with water.D.It wilt be tested by pil
43、ots.(3).According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?（分数：3.00）A.The plane may explode in the air.B.The pilot may lose control of the plane.C.The engines may be damaged.D.Too much air may get into the plan(4).What might be the most suitable title for the text?（分数：3.00）A.Two Important Te
44、sts on AirplanesB.The Importance of Flying SafelyC.The Danger of Testing AirplanesD.How Airplanes Are Made and TestedDI fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I
45、 loved London. Ive slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think its an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good mannerspeople shut doo
46、rs heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. Youre forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as
47、 a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now Im afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and thats typical
48、ly French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.（分数：9.00）(1).The writer doesnt like London because she_.（分数：3.00）A.is not used to the life there nowB.has lived there for seventeen y
