(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.
The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”
“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”
“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”
1.Where did the story happen?
A. In New York. B. In Chicago. C. In the West. D. In a restaurant.
2.How did Bob find out that the new man wasn’t his real friend?

e. The new man came to meet him.
A. c-e-d-a-b. B. e-b-c-a-d. C. c-d-a-e-b. D. e-c-a-b-d.
4.According to the passage, we know ____________.

(an excerpt from The all of the Wild)
Buck did not read the newspapers. So he did not know that there was trouble ahead. Trouble for every dog warn strong muscles and warm long hair, from Seattle to southern California. Some men had found a yellow metal in the Arctic darkness, and thousands of other men were rushing there. Those men wanted dogs that were heavy, with strong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in California which was owned by Judge Miller. And Buck ruled over it all. He was born there. and had lived there for the four years of his life. There were many other dogs, but they lived together in the Kennels (狗窝), or inside the house. But Buck was neither s house dog or a kennel dog. The whole of Judge Miller’s lands was his. Buck was king — king over all the creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller’s lands, humans included.
His father, Elmo, a huge St Bernard, had been the judge’ s inseparable (不可分离的) companion. And when he died, Buck took his father’s place. He was not so large — he weighted only sixty kilograms — for his mother, Shen, had been a Scottish sheepdog. He had had a good life and he was proud of himself, for he had not become a house dog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscles, and swimming had made him healthy.
This was Huck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener’s helpers, was not a good guy. Manuel gambled (赌博) and wasted the little money he had. And one time when the judge was away on business, and his sons were busy with an athletics club, Manuel did something terrible. No one saw him and Buck go off on what Buck thought was a walk. No one saw them arrive at the railway station, where Manuel sold Buck to a man who was waiting for him.
Manuel put a rope round Buck’s neck, under his collar. Buck accepted this because he knew Manuel, but when the rope was given to another man, he growled dangerously. And when the rope was tightened round neck, he started to choke and jumped at the man in anger. The man fought him off and forced Buck to lie on his back, and tightened the rope even more. Buck had never been treated so badly in his life, and he never been treated so badly in his life, and he had never so angry. The his strength drained away and he soon became unconscious (失去意识的). He was still unconscious when the train arrived and the two men threw him into the baggage car.
1.What kind of dog did the gold-seekers want?
A.Heavy dogs with short hair. B.Strong dogs with long hair.
C.Small dogs with furry hair. D.Kennel dogs with furry hair.
2.From paragraph 2 and 3, we can infer ________.
A.humans in the house all respected Buck
B.Buck’s dad and mother were not large in size
C.Buck was satisfied with his life in Miller’s house
D.Buck’s muscles made him different from dogs nearby
3.Manuel stole and sold Buck because he needed money________.
A.to support his sons’ club B.to make up for gambling
C.to help with gardening D.to discover more gold
4.The author mentioned the sentence “Buck did not read the newspapers.” twice in order to show that ________.
A.Buck didn’t learn a lot about the information in the newspapers
B.Buck didn’t expect himself to be involved in a dangerous situation
C.Buck didn’t realize Manuel was such a bad guy who would sold him
