About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to  31  too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning,  32 , the clerk said that he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof  33  I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but go to the  34  lawyer.
The lawyer  35  me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred dollar bill to the desk. So we did. An hour later, I went  36  to the desk and asked for my money.  37  I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the  38  hundred dollar bill, the clerk could not say he  39  nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s  40  into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to  41  for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and  42  the clerk insisted that he had given  43  to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, “ I  44  this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don’t hand it  45  immediately, I will be forced to call the  46 ”. The clerk realized he had been  47 , so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“ I don’t know  48  to thank you enough for  49  my money back.” I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “ Oh, don’t  50  me. That will be one hundred dollars, please.”

31.A     carry除了有“搬、運(yùn)”意思之外,還可以指“攜帶”錢、文件等,其他三個動詞不合題意。
32.C     however和but都可作“但是”講,但用法不一樣。在形式上however前后可用逗號分開,而but則不能;從意思上講however連接的前后兩個句子的意思應(yīng)趨向一致,而but引導(dǎo)的句子則與前句構(gòu)成對比。

37.D     since在這里的意思是“既然”,表示原因。
38.D    第一個100美元作者已經(jīng)給了收銀員;這是律師給的第二個100美元。
39.C    此事只有作者和律師兩人知道,當(dāng)然收銀員不知道。
40.C     put…into action意思是“把……付諸實(shí)施”。從上下文可以看出,作者是按照律師的計劃行事的。
41.B     ask for是“向……要”的意思,其他選項(xiàng)不合題意。
42.A     when指的是時間,其他不合邏輯。
43.D     it用來指代上文提到的the hundred dollar bill。
44.B    律師說是看到作者把錢給收銀員的。
45.B     hand in是“上交、交出”的意思,符合題意。
46.A    如果收銀員不按照律師所說的去做的話,他只有叫警察了。
47.C    收銀員此時已經(jīng)意識到中了律師的圈套,只好歸還給作者第一次(放在他那兒)的鈔票。
48.B    作者不知道該怎樣感謝律師。
49.C     get money back收回、取回。符合題意。

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”
In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.
Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.
Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “l(fā)ost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.
11. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.
A. loss      B. wonder    C. lucky thing        D. terrible thing
12. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.
A. he was a man difficult to please
B. she never knew when he was coming
C. she was too busy looking after her children
D. he never stayed long enough for a meal
13. What do we know about James’ behavior?
A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.
B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.
C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.
D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.
14. Maggie felt pleased when _______.
A. she paid James the money that she owed him
B. James gave some money to the children
C. she had to wake James up to catch his train
D. James thanked her for the nice supper
15. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.
A. had been dead              B. suffered from loss of memory
C. had run away from him     D. might appear again one day

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同時的)about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group,  they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked  to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech ,
we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
56.While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they
A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to              .
A. experience the happy time again    B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot   D. remind her of something forgotten
58. What does the author want to tell us most?
A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk          B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C, Women Love to Talk                     D. Men Talk Differently from Women
