Ⅱ.理解
A
Once upon a tie there was one storyteller. After getting tired of telling old fabricated stories, he left his house in search of a real life story.
He reached a village and took a cottage for rent. After wandering in the village throughout the onth, in search of true stories, the storyteller couldn't find one. Disappointed, he decided to stop his search.
The next day, while sitting in the cottage, he suddenly heard a voice—a woan was yelling(吼叫)at soeone. The voice was coing fro the big wall behind his cottage.
He tried to hear the conversation; it sounded like the woan was abusing(辱骂)her daughter­in­la The storyteller didn't like it but he was happy to finally get his story.
Listening to the conversations each day he added the to his story. Though he couldn't see the characters of his story, he started hating the other­in­law, as she seeed to be a villain(坏人)．
Now it was tie to finalize the end of the story. But before he did, the storyteller wanted to see the characters once, so he clibed up the wall.
There he saw the other­in­law sitting in a wheelchair. It seeed she was disabled and that the daughter­in­laas resting nearby.
He saw the old lady trying to get soe food lying on the table near her chair. But because of her condition, she couldn't reach it and it looked like the daughter­in­laas enjoying the old lady's helplessness. Suddenly the old lady fell fro the chair and started abusing her daughter­in­la
The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story. He was surprised how different it was copared to what he originally thought it would be.
Truly he had found both a real life story and a real life lesson.
16. What's the eaning of the underlined word“fabricated” in Paragraph 1?
A. Funny. B. Iaginary.
C. Aazing. D. Roantic.
17. Why did the storyteller clib up the wall?
A. He thought he was strong enough to do it.
B. He expected to find out what was happening.
C. He would like to find a good ending for his story.
D. He wanted to have a look at the woan and her
daughter­in­la
18. Why did the old woan start abusing her daughter­in­law?
A. Her daughter­in­law didn't take care of her.
B. Her daughter­in­laas too busy to help her.
C. Her daughter­in­law pushed her out of her wheelchair.
D. Her daughter­in­law didn't allow her to get food.
19. What lesson can we learn fro the text?

B. A good listener is not soeone with nothing to say.
C. Don't just listen to one's words. Watch what one does.
D. Everybody lies, but it doesn't atter because nobody listens.
答案与解析：
16．B　根据第一段“he left his house in search of a real life story”可知，他平常讲的故事都不是真实的，而是虚构的。fabricated“编造的，虚构的”，与iaginary意义相同。
17．D　根据第六段的内容可知，说书人爬墙是为了看一眼故事中的主人公。
18．A　根据第八段可知，那位老太太由于残疾坐在轮椅中，她够不到食物，而儿媳似乎很高兴看到她的无助。当老人跌倒时，她开始骂儿媳了。
19．C　讲故事的人在看到婆媳二人的实际情况后，才发现婆婆骂儿媳的真正原因，而之前他仅凭在墙外听得出了错误的结论。可见本的寓意为“耳听为虚，眼见为实”，与C项的陈述相符。
B
y students often tell e that they do not have “enough tie” to do all their schoolwork.
y reply is often a brief “You have as uch tie as the president”. I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough tie” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting soething done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to justify (证明……有理) yself to one of y professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to e was，“That's irrelevant. What's iportant is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had tie to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(妙计), and I have coe to soe conclusions, all relevant to the issue of how uch tie we have.
If you look at the atter analytically, you can identify two parts of the proble: There is, of course, the atter of “tie”， which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that tie, which can vary in intensity. But, as y professor suggested, it's not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product that's iportant.
That led e to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in soeone's office: “Don't work harder. Work sarter.” There's a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can't get ore tie, and few of us can, the only solution is to iprove the quality of the work. That eans devising(想出) ways of getting ore out of the sae tie than we ight otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually eans “hoework”， the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”．
Then, as a sart student, you will seek to iprove those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.
20. Fro the passage, we know that the author is ost probably________.
A. a poet B. an educator
C. a novelist D. an engineer
21. We can infer fro the second paragraph that students still________.
A. have enough tie
B. can eet the president
C. can get soething done well
D. should accept the teacher's suggestion
22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. y students often ake full use of their tie to do all their hoework.
B. I once tried to show yself to y professor by saying that I was wrong.
C. any of us can get ore tie to iprove the quality of the work.
D. Iproving reading and writing skills will benefit students a lot.
23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Not an Acceptable Explanation
B. Don't Work Harder. Work Sarter
C. An Analysis of Our Work Habits
D. Read Better And Write Better
答案与解析：
20．B　根据第一段首句中的关键信息y students和第三段中的关键信息Once in graduate school说明“我”研究生毕业后从事的是教育行业，故an educator符合作者身份。
21．A　“我”对自己的学生说“你的时间和总统的一样多”，并指出，把“时间不够”作为没有完成某事的理由是不可接受的。由此可得出结论：学生仍是有充足的时间的。
22．D　A项错在与第一句不吻合；B项错在与第三段第一句不吻合；C项错在与第六段第一句不吻合；D项与最后一段的内容吻合。
23．B　主要向我们阐述：我们每个人的时间都是一样的，要想提高学习质量，只有在改善学习方法上下工夫，即不要苦干，要巧干，故B项最能概括主旨。
Ⅲ.书面表达
