Like many other single, middle-aged men, he was getting rather set in his ways. Before he left the house in the morning, he would carefully close all the doors downstairs, open some windows upstairs to let the air in, and lock the front door. One summer evening, Jonathan returned home as usual. When he opened the front gate, he immediately noticed something strange. There was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the flowers beds. Then he noticed that one of the white curtains in the front room downstairs was out of place. Jonathan never left anything out of place. He walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. He listened carefully for a few moments but could hear nothing. Inside, the front-room door was half open. Jonathan studied it thoughtfully, wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. He stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. The shadow of a man was clearly reflected on the far wall in the evening sunlight. The man had clearly been standing behind the door since Jonathan's return. Jonathan immediately locked the door. Then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall and set about calling the police. The burglar (盗贼), a tall fellow, tried to climb through a window to get out but Jonathan had expected that. He attacked him with his umbrella, using it like a sword (剑). Three minutes later the police arrived. Jonathan was a little annoyed (苦恼的) that he had to have dinner later than usual, but on the whole he felt quite pleased with himself. 31.

Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Short Answer) Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and give brief answers to the questions. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Letter writing is becoming less and less common as millions of young people connect daily with their friends through the Internet. The Internet is quickly becoming the place, similar to department stores, where people of the younger generation go to talk with each other. Some young people use the phone less and stay online more to keep in touch with others. Professors are of the opinion that the online connection is a positive development for an age group that desires to keep social relations. Today, 80 percent of American young people use the Net, according to Global TGI, a market research firm. By 2010, that number will climb to 95 percent. Although most young people say they still prefer talking by telephone because they can express feelings, many say they spend more time online. There are different reasons for that. First, online communication is relatively fast, cheap, and easy--especially compared to long-distance phone calls. Then there is the awareness that the Internet is a recent development, and, therefore, cool. "Y oung people always have to be up on what's new," says Henkart, a high school junior from California. "Since email is cool, young people want to find out what the excitement is about." 36. Why do many young people still prefer the phone to the Internet? 37. What percentage of American young people will use the Internet by 2010? 38. According to professors, talking online is a positive means of _________________. 39. What are the major benefits of online communication? 40. What is the meaning of "young people always have to be up on what's new"? Part 7 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 41 to 45 are based on the same passage or dialog. Mr. and Mrs. Jones' flat was full of boxes, big and small; trunks (大皮箱); and furniture. The two of them were busy with pencils and paper, checking their list of luggage (行李) when there was a ring at the door. Mrs. Jones went to open it, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged lady outside. The lady said that she lived in a flat beside theirs, and that she had come to welcome them to their new home. Mrs. Jones invited her in. "I hope you'll excuse us for all this mess (杂乱)," said Mrs. Jones, "We are trying..." "Oh, that's quite all right," said the lady. "Do you know, in some parts of this town, neighbors are not at all friendly? There are some streets-and even some buildings-where people don't know their neighbors-not even their next-door ones. But in this building, everyone is a friend with everybody else. We are one big, happy family. I'm sure you'll be happy here." The lady was greatly surprised when she visited the same flat the next time, because she found that a different man and a woman had moved in. On the lady's first visit, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had not the heart to tell her they were not the new owners of the flat, but the old owners, who had lived beside her for two years. All this time she had never visited or even noticed Mr. and Mrs. Jones, her next-door neighbors. 41. Someone knocked at the door when Mr. and Mrs. Jones were ________.
