I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said you could buy tickets at the theatre box any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and the theatre is not good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes. By the time I saw one come, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line at the box office, and I heard one man say he had been waiting for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

1. The man learned from _______ that there would be a concert on Friday.

A. the bus stop　　 　　 B. the theatre box

C. one man in line　　 D. the newspaper

2. He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______.

A. once 　　　　　　 B. three times　

C. twice 　　　　　　 D. four times

3.One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus．

A. forty-five minutes　　　　 B. twenty minutes　

C. fifteen minutes　　 　　　 D. ten minutes

4. The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by _______.

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up his mind to play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology（神话） for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.

1.What can we learn from the text?

A．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

C．“The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

D.Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

2.What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?

A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

B．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

D．Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

3.Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

A．One of Tolkien’s students. B．Allen & Unwin.

C．Stanley Unwin’s son. D．Bilbo Baggins.

4.What is mainly discussed in the text?

A．a famous professor at Oxford University.

B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

C．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

D．The power of the magic ring.

5.Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?

a．He had his “The Hobbit” published.

b．He became a member of the lnklings.

c．He served in World WarⅠ

d．He became an undergraduate at Oxford.

e．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

f．He moved to England to live with his aunt.

A．f-d-b-c-a-e B．d-f-c-a-b-e
