5.五、短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) Today was my father’s birthday, which was so a big day for me, so I wanted to give her a surprise. My father always gave me that I wanted. I told my mother that I wanted to cook a delicious dinner for my father and she was very happy to teaching me. I listened attentive at first as it was the first time that I cooked. However, under my mother’s help, I cooked with great caution. I felt much confident than before. Two hours later, my efforts were paid off. I felt happy that each of my dishes have a different taste and a unique style.

6.I am a graduate student in China, and over the last few weeks I have become friends with Earl, a Western student who is studying Chinese at my university. We have a number of friends in common, so often see each other at various social gatherings. We enjoy talking to each other, and have gotten to know each other fairly well. Last weekend Earl asked me if I would like to go see a movie with him. I said yes, so we had dinner and saw the movie together. After the movie we talked a long time as we walked home. When it was time to say goodnight, he first took my hand and then he kissed me. I was a little surprised when he kissed me, but I was not unhappy because I like him quite a bit. Now, I have started to tell people Earl is my boyfriend. However, when I told one of my Chinese girlfriends about all of this, she said that Westerners are very casual about relationships between men and women. She said I should be careful about letting him kiss me because he probably wasn't very serious about his interest in me. What do you think?

8.Read the passage and choose the correct ones.I've got a brother who is two years older than I am. Sometimes he's OK but other times he is a real pain in the neck. I'll give you some examples. Yesterday I couldn't put the key in the front door because it was dark and I couldn't see where the keyhole was. Did my brother help? No, he just told me how stupid I was. And last week when I came back from the hairdresser's he took one look at me and laughed. "No boy will go out with you looking like that. But don't worry. I can help you. Here, take this paper bag and put it over your head." Have you any idea how I felt?On the other hand, having a big brother can be useful. My parents are not so worried about letting me go out at night as they would be if I were an only child. Another good thing is that all his friends are also two years older and there is one boy who I like very much and who is very good at math so when they all gather at our house, I make sure that I’m there and always have a problem with my math homework that only he can help me with. I hope he can help with more than my homework!选项： A:The writer is good at math.; B:The writer is not good at math.; C:The writer's parents are good at math.; D:The friend of the writer's brother is not good at math.

">11.I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!" Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls. But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!" But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

14.Reading ComprehensionWhy I Came to College? Why did I choose to attend college? I have asked myself many times during the past three and a half months. Did I come because of because of my parents’ influence or because of the goal of my own? After thinking about these questions many times, I have reached the conclusion that it is something that I truly want to do. Originally, my parents did influence my opinions about education in general. From the beginning of my schooling, my parents seemed to assume that I would attend college, and by the time I reached senior high school, I had become used to that idea as well. When I entered senior high school, I attended the college preparatory program there, looking ahead four year to college. Then gradually I became truly interested in many of the subjects. In addition, I felt that I wanted to continue to study those areas .As my senior high school ended, I began to realize why I had this hope. Finally, I began to recognize in my life a strong desire to obtain knowledge. I knew that I would not be to simply end my educational career with senior high school and enter the working world. I truly felt a need to continue learning in order to get a better understanding of the word around me. My final decision to attend college seemed a natural one, and my choice of engineering as a field of study came easily as well.Why does the writer come to college? It is . 选项： A:because of his parents; B:because of his teacher; C:because he wants to find a good job later; D:because he wants to continue to study what he is interested in

16.I had lunch at a village pub. After that I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair. The chair was beside the door. Now it wasn't there! I looked for it. The landlord came in.He asked 'Did you have a good meal?".I answered 'Yes, thank you. I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.'The landlord smiled. He immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned. He had my bag in his hand. He gave it back to me. He said 'I'm very sorry. My dog had taken in into the garden. He often does this!'

17.[单选题]Passage 1 At ten years old，I borrowed a book from the library that had the word “mistress” in the title. Granted，the cover art featured a golden carriage resembling that of Cinderella’s. My mother did not notice this book amid my stack of 20 until I was at home reading it. The book was immediately taken away by my mother when she found it. Then she led me back to the library. I can still remember how embarrassed I was as my mother explained that I needed reading material that was different from that book. The librarian on duty was a middle-aged lady, tall and beautiful. Smiling kindly, she walked from behind the counter and signaled me to follow her. Her walk was so graceful that she could easily have qualified for a part in ballet. “Here you are，” she said. “It’s called I Capture the Castle，by Dodie Smith.” I looked at her and stood motionless for a few seconds. Obviously, it was not the kind of book I was looking for. “It’s very different,” she said, noticing my disappointment. I accepted her recommendation. I took the book home, curled up on our window seat, and started reading: “I write this sitting in the kitchen sink. I can’t say that I am really comfortable, but that is the only part of the kitchen where there is any daylight left. And I have found that sitting in a place where you have never sat before can be inspiring —I wrote my very best poem while sitting on the hen-house.” I was hooked. Absolutely hooked. I wanted to be a writer, too. I also loved to write in strange places. I never told the librarian how much that book meant to me. How it spurred my writing dreams to the point that I took journals when walking through the woods and paused to take notes. Two weeks ago, I drove to meet my mother for a Christmas lunch in my hometown. In an old-fashioned teashop, I caught sight of a familiar figure—it was the very librarian who had changed my life! Sixteen years had passed, but—for a moment— time stood still. There were a few more wrinkles (皱纹) around her eyes, and she seemed to be in a fragile condition while sitting quietly at a table. I rose to my feet and moved excitedly toward her，“You work at the library! You once showed me I Capture the Castle! I’m a writer now! That’s still my favorite book!” The woman paused and smiled kindly, with a blank expression on her face. But then she tipped her head. I at once realized that it was her age or mental condition that had kept her from understanding me. After a while, she rose slowly and a nurse accompanied her towards the door. As I watched her go, I wondered how many lives we change without realizing what we do is significant. For all that woman had really done was lend me a book. But it had captured my world.2. How does the author describe the librarian’s walk when they first met? A She walked with elegance. B She walked with pride. C She walked with calmness. D She walked with dignity. E F
