Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪漢） has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 36 by tramps to inform their 37 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 38 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite 39 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be 40 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into 41 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not been a 42 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 43 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 44 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him 47 his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The 48 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 49 for him as he walked 50 out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 51 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 52 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 53 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 54 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 55 , whistling as he went along.

【解析】
試題分析：流浪漢們常將他們所使用的特殊符號畫在住戶的墻上，告知同行這家主人是否友好，可否去拜訪．本文講述一個流浪漢根據符號的指引去一戶人家乞討，結果卻吃了閉門羹．后來他發現是符號錯了。
1.A employ使用。這種特殊的符號常被流浪漢用來告知同行是否可以進入該戶人家乞討。put up張貼，據下文，符號是畫在墻上，故不可選。B、c兩項不合文意．
2.C 據上下文是指告知同行。同行不一定都是朋友，故排除D項。
3.B 據上文知，有了這種符號，流浪漢們就可省下做一些不必要的拜訪的麻煩，故選B。put，give與文童矛盾；且put搭配不當；spare詞義不對。
4.D 短語辨析。A在某種程度上B錯誤C隨便說一下D偶然；從后半句came across得知為巧遇by chance。
5.B be dressed in穿著……的衣服。本句意為“他的穿著正像一個流浪漢，破舊的褲子，大得極不相稱的夾克”。
6.C come into pieces指流浪漢衣衫檻樓，幾乎“成為碎片”。
7.C care此處為名詞，意為“憂慮”。流浪漢對自己的窘境似乎并不感到憂慮。failure失敗，屬于“傷心事”之列。
8.D 動詞辨析。A給B得到C設立D進行，做；意為“滑稽地轉了一個圈”。
9.D 據上下文知這里是“研究”，“仔細看”那個符號，想弄清它代表的意思。
10.D 指符號有幫助favorable，提供了好消息。
11.B 對從中得到的好消息很滿意，估計自己會討到東西。
12.C raise one’s hat="take" one’s hat off to sb. 脫帽(把帽于舉一下)致敬。
13.A 名詞辨析。A對話B介紹C爭吵D問候；流浪漢與主人之間的談話。
14.D 形容詞辨析。A開心B害怕C擔憂D難受；看到他悲傷地走出來，我為他感到難過。
15.B 副詞辨析。A高興B悲哀C勇敢D急切；吃了閉門羹之后情緒低落，悲傷。
16.C 動詞辨析。A揮手B搖擺C搖頭D點頭；其他選項詞義不當。
17.A 動詞辨析。A挖B偷C放D看；把手插到口袋里去找東西。
18.D 形容詞辨析。A出現的B移動的C閃亮的D存在的；把現存符號擦去，再畫一個新符號。
19.A 名詞辨析。belongings此處為名詞，指流浪漢攜帶的物品。
20.C pace這里指步伐節奏．流浪漢邁著不緊不慢的步伐，吹著口哨繼續往下家去乞討。

As one approaches
some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a “Slow” sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming,
and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a noteb
ook and pencil in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at the crossing.” “But the sign there doesn’t say “Stop”,” answered Mr. Williams. “It just says “Slow”, and I did go slow.” The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’ll be blowed. I am in the wrong street!”
Which of the following statements is correct? ?
A. Stop signs can be found at every crossroads.
B. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers never have to stop.
C. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers have to stop and then go slow.
D. At some crossroads, drivers needn’t stop or go slow.
What do you think the policeman would do in the end?
A. Fine Mr. Williams. B. Take him to the police station.
C. Apologize to Mr. Williams. D. Give Mr. Williams his notebook and pencil.
Which might be the best title for this passage?
A. Signs at the crossroads B. A careful driver
C. A policeman and a driver D. Policeman in the wrong street[來源:Z&xx&k.Com

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate（交際）with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears（眼淚）in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake（搖）your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod（點頭）and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines（雜志）, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others.

Dear manager,
I am a student of senior three. Last Sunday I went to shopping in your supermarket. Your service was very good, and I felt worried because there are some problem there. First, the windows of the walls are tightly closed so the fresh air cannot move in, that can easily lead to all kinds illnesses. Second, there is large quantities of goods on the third floor, but they are in a mess. It is not easy to find which I want to buy. In addition, the EXIT signs can’t be see easily, so if something terribly happened, it would be difficult for people to get in quickly. I hope you can make some improvements.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(關節) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
1.Which is true about weather forecasting?
A．Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
B．Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.
C．Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
D．People can change the weather forecasting.
2.Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?
A．continuing B．reducing. C．coming. D．disappearing.
3.Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?
A．Some birds fly high.
B．A rainbow appears in the morning.
C．The sunset is mostly red in colour.
D．Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
4.The best title of the passage is _______.
