閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.
At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(飲食)drink last an entire evening.
Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴會). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially－prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.
Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou TV, and carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.
Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader's political chat she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.
1．The main idea of the passage is about ________.
[ ]
A．the Queen's favorite food
B．the Queen' s tours abroad
C．how the Queen keeps her diet during her tours
D．the Queen's trouble with a foreign leader
2．The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ________.
[ ]
A．to show her politeness
B. not to eat much
C．to show her great interest in food
D．to hide her dislike to the food
3．We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ________.
[ ]
A．she has to meet with so many important leaders
B．she has to eat much oily food
C．she has so many reporters to travel with her
D. hosts always present wonderful state banquets
4．What probably is the Queen's art of acting at state dinners?
[ ]
A．Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
B．Drinking Malvern water.
C．Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.
D．Eating much without being noticed.

1．C 本答案較難選出。全文第一、二段敘述了the Queen在afternoon tea parties及在cocktail patties的表現，接下來作者又敘述了在其他幾個場合下，如在the Pacific islands of Tanga的表現，短文第三段Tours abroad are difficult…又告訴我們作者在敘述the Queen。是在外出，因此C項為最佳答案。B項有較大干擾性。全文敘述了the Queen外出時的飲食，而沒有涉及其他。 2．B 本題答案依據短文第四段第一、二句得出。trick的意思是“計謀”，her old favorite trick of talking with her host是指“多說話少少吃東西”。 3．D 從短文中我們可以看出無論是afternoon tea parties還是cocktail parties，還是在其他場合，主人提供的食品非常豐盛。 4．A 從全文我們看出，無論在何種宴會上，盡管the Queen表現出喜歡主人的安排，但她用各種方法吃東西。 |

Scars of Love
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.
He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator（短吻鱷） was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比賽) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下傷疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma （外傷）, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”
You and I can identify with （認同） that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.
56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the alligator and the mother B. the mother and the son
C. the driver and the alligator D. the son and the alligator
57. From the passage we can infer ________.
A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go
B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator
C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms
D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs
58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?
A. To forget the past is to betray. B. We should forget the scars.
C. Wounds are different from scars. D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
