Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor,the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had,the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning,the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement,I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune,I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed,the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
1.The underlined part “the pair” in the second paragraph two refers to .
A. the poor couple B. the rich couple C. the angels D. the guests
2.The younger angel was very angry because .
A. the older angel killed the farmer’s cow
B. the older angel treated the two families unfairly
C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live
D. the angel of death took the cow away

A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
C. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.
D. Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.
4.The story tries to tell the reader that .

B. angels are always ready to help the poor
C. angels are always ready to help the rich
D. the young should always learn from the old
1.C
2.B

【解析】
試題分析:本文通過天使對(duì)兩戶人間的不同態(tài)度告訴我們,很多時(shí)候事情并不是像他們的表面的那樣。
1.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段第1行Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family可知來到是兩個(gè)天使。故C正確。
2.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”可知年輕的天使認(rèn)為年長(zhǎng)的天使不公平。故B正確。
3.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后2行Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed,the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.可知他這樣做是為了挽救農(nóng)民的妻子。故D正確。
4.A 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章中多次出現(xiàn)的Things aren’t always what they seem.”文章告訴我們很多事情不能只看表面。故A正確。

The Writers' Strike:Making the Best of the Worst
By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working.With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.
Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV.With a most perfect cast(全體演員), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.
For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock.Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短劇),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.
If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking.If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you.If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .
If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV.Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.
If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch .
A.Friday Night Lights B.30 Rock
C.the Amazing Race D.Saturday Night Live
From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that .
A.two teams won the amazing race
B.football fans enjoy the Amazing Race
C.the Bluths care about their family though selfish
D.30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common
The author writes the passage to tell us that .
A.the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great
B.the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation
C.watching DVD is a good choice during the strike
D.we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes
The passage is most probably taken from .
