 Let’s start with the map. This is a map of Port Prime. I downloaded it from the Internet. The big arrow(箭头) is pointing at our house. The house is at the end of Hampton Street. It’s the last house in the town. It’s a new house. A lot of the houses in Port Prime are very old but the houses in this part of the town are all very new.

 My house is big. There’s a big living room, a big dining room, a big kitchen and a big bathroom downstairs. Then there are three en-suite bedrooms on the second floor. I think “en-suite” is a great word. It’s French. It means the bedrooms have their own bathroom. I’m sure French people never talk about en-suite bedrooms. It’s one of those things only English people say to show they are better than others. Anyway, there’s a third floor in our house,too. Mum and dad have their office up there. I don’t go to their office often.

 If you look at the map, you can also see my school next to the park. My school’s called Port Prime Comprehensive or PPC for short. Then there’s the old part of town with the church, the town hall and the train station. There’s no cinema in Port Prime. There’s no youth clubs or youth centre. If you want to do anything then you have to go to Apsworth which is eight miles away. It’s easy to get bored in Port Prime. There's nothing to do.

Taken from The Time Capsule

54. What may Port Prime be?

A. The name of a house      B. The name of a town

C. The name of a street       D. The name of a school

C

 There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用) coffee”. There you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one, so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way, no-money people can still enjoy coffee.

    Now, this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it's a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (劣势的) than us. On the other hand, some people don't think it's a good idea. They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also, how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隐藏) the money and give out (分发) the food?

    This is really a trust issue. In fact it's sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it's also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don't want to work.

 But all in all, hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.

58. Who can enjoy suspended coffee in the country?

A. Every person.   B. The rich.   C. The old.    D. The poor.

59. For suspended fast food which of the following do people worry about?

① Some are just out for a free lunch.   ② Some people don't pay for the meals.

③ The restaurant owners don't give out the food. ④ There will be more and more homeless people.

A. ①②      B. ①③    C. ①③④      D. ①②③④

60. What does the underlined words “trust issue” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是) ？

A. Eating habit.   B. Honesty problem. C. Big decision.   D. Clever idea.

61. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

A. We shouldn’t believe the beggar.   

B. We have to make sure who are homeless.

C. We can trust those enough to do the right thing.

D. What is “suspended fast food”.

In the village of St Petersburg, in the middle of Tuesday night, the church bells suddenly started ringing. The streets were soon full of people shouting “Come out! We've found them!” Everyone went towards the river to meet the children, and no one went to bed again.

At Judge Thatcher's house, Tom lay on the sofa and told their story. He described how he had left Becky and followed two passages as far as his string would reach. Then he was just about to turn back when he noticed a distant spot that looked like daylight. He dropped the string and crawled towards the light. Then he pushed his head and shoulders through a small hole and saw the Mississippi flowing by! He went straight back for Becky and helped her out after him. And then they sat on the river bank and cried for happiness. Then some men in a rowing boat saved them and gave them food. And then they finally brought them home.

Both children took a week to recover. Tom heard about Huck's illness and he went to see him.

Tom was only allowed to stay with Huck for a short while. And he was warned not to talk about his adventures or excite him.

When Tom visited Becky two weeks later, he was talking to the judge about the caves. The judge asked him if he would like to go into the caves again, and Tom said he would. The judge replied:"Well, I'm sure there are others just like you, Tom, but nobody will get lost in those caves again. I've closed the caves with big metal doors and three locks, and I've got the keys.

     Tom’s face turned as white as a sheet.

     “Oh, Judge, Indian Joe’s in the caves!”
