C

Snoopy and Lou were robbers. Half a year ago, they decided to plan another bank robbery. It was to be their last one. Then they would give up this business and live a comfortable life. The job was so well done that the judge who sent them to prison for fifteen years each said it was the cleverest robbery of the century, and what a pity it was that their car had used up its petrol not far from the bank.

After they were in prison for a few weeks, Snoopy and Lou decided to escape. Soon they worked out a plan as good as any they had ever made. Even the smallest points were considered carefully. They planned as a team because they lived in the same room, and because the guards, who had a great deal of respect for the famous robbers, left them very much alone. They decided the quickest and safest way to escape was to squeeze themselves along a drain form their present workplace in the prison to a quiet country road on the other side of the prison wall.

The great day arrived, and the pair started along the drain. With great difficulty, they squeezed themselves along for what seemed ages. In half an hour , they could see daylight. When they got out, the men were so pleased with themselves at their success that they sloped each other on the back. It was only then that they realized they were not alone. They looked around, they found themselves facing thirty astonished policemen, who were carrying musical instruments of various sorts. The next morning, the same judge seemed very sorry as he told Snoopy and Lou that the plan of the prison drain system, which they had studied so carefully, was more than twenty years old, and that the quiet country road was no longer there. The drain now led directly to the parade ground where the police band had just finished practicing when the two robbers appeared before them.

64．What was Snoopy and Lou’s plan to escape from the prison?

A．They planned to run away while working

in the prison workplace.

B．They planned to climb over the prison wall, on the other side of which was a quiet country road.

C．They planned to crawl along the drain which led to a country road

D．They planned to get to the parade ground through the drain which was empty when the police band was not practicing.

65．Snoopy and Lou failed in their plan to escape because_________.

A．they did not play well before hand

B．they were not quick enough in their action

C．the policemen had been keeping a watchful eye on them

D．the map of the prison drain system they used was out of date

66．According to this article, which of the following statements is true?

A．When Snoopy and Lou went out of the drain, thirty policemen were waiting for them.

B．When Snoopy and Lou found themselves facing thirty policemen, they turned round and ran in the direction of the country road.

C．The policemen caught Snoopy and Lou by chance

D．The policemen were frightened more than surprised when the two robbers suddenly appeared before them

67．It seemed the judge________.

B．felt very proud to try the two famous robbers for their crime

C．was very angry at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law again and again

D．was sad at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law again

Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend---a bird called Woodstock.

Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world.

When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different form other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed in just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.

Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.

However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night…” Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.

In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.

Snoopy is an insightful, feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.” And “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There’s so little hope for advancement”.

Snoopy has done all the following jobs except ____________.

A. a lawyer      B. a player      C. a clerk      D. a writer

From the passage, we can learn that _________.

A. Snoopy is always a sad dog

B. Snoopy can not speak in the beginning

It can be inferred that Snoopy ____________.

B. is a well-known writer and clerk

Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind.They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion (坐墊)on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory (掛件).

Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!

"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韓國(guó)外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.

Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

1.

Why did Bloomsbury publish the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover?

A. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults

B. Bloomsbury thinks it can attract more readers

C. Bloomsbury knows kidults prefer to chose books for adults in nature

D. Bloomsbury thinks the cover with an adult is better

2.

Being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that _______.

A. it is helpful to solve some social problems

B. it can make people listen to their parents

C. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids

D. it can help kidults feel relaxed

3.

According to the writer, _______.

A. our society is very dull                 

B. kidults have mental problems

C. being a kidult is nothing wrong          

D. some people can never grow up
