He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didnt care about my work, and he didnt care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didnt realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket. I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth? She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room. After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情緒) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.1. Why did the author shout at the telephone?A. He was mad at the telephone. B. He was angry with his agent.C. He was anxious about his wife D. He was impatient with the secretary.2. What did the authors wife do after she heard his shouting? A. She said nothing B. She shouted at him. C. She called the agent D. She threw the phone away3. What made the author laugh? A. His own behavior. B. His wifes suggestion C. His changeable feelings D. His wifes sweet kiss.4. What does the underlined word “antics” refer to? A. Smart words B. Unusual actionsC. Surprising Looks D. Anxious feelingsBEvery 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 on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.(配件) Other kidults still enjoy childrens 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 childrens 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(韓國外國語大學(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.5. We can infer from the article that _.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they cant give up their toysB. Bloomsbury knows some kidults dont want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much6. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that _.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to ones parents7. According to the writer, _.A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow upC Almost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, “Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to (傾向于) get retribution (懲罰) against criminals. These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future. These systems also try to deter (威懾) others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. Rehabilitation (悔過) is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the persons behavior and approach so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen. Capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.8. The police around the world usually concentrate their attention on_ .A. how to catch the person who commits crimesB. how to punish the person who commits crimesC. how to control crimesD. how to determine the system of punishment of criminals9. Different purposes of the systems of criminal punishment are mentioned in the passage except_ .A. to frighten criminals and stop them from committing crimes againB. to warn others in society not to commit crimesC. to reform criminals and help them return to societyD. to help criminals get some knowledge of law10. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries including the USA have got rid of capital punishment.B. In some countries capital punishment can only be found in law books, but it is hardly used.C. Capital punishment is only used in extreme criminal cases.D. Some countries including China still use capital punishment第二節(jié)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.
