Passage 1

4

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a

few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He

had

rented

a

cottage

in

the

country,

although

he

rarely

spent

much time there. We understood the reason for this after our

arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of

the

windows

were

broken

and

the

roof

leaked,

making

the

whole house damp.

On

our

first

evening,

we

sat

around

the

fire

after

supper

listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many

adventures

in

distant

countries.

I

was

so

tired

after

the

long

train

journey

that

I

would

have

preferred

to

go

to

bed;

but

I

could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.

He

was

just

in

the

middle

of

describing

a

rather

terrifying

experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from

the

bedroom

above,

the

one

where

my

brother

and

I

were

going to sleep.

“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” exclaimed my uncle, with

a loud laugh.

When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom

door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds

of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a

strange

sight

met

our

eyes.

A

large

part

of

the

ceiling

had

5

collapsed,

falling

right

on

to

the

pillow

of

my

bed.

I

was

glad

that

I

had

stayed

up

late

to

listen

to

my

uncle’s

stories,

otherwise

I

should

certainly

have

been

seriously

injured,

perhaps killed.

That

night

we

all

slept

on

the

floor

to

the

sitting

room

downstairs,

not

wishing

to

risk

our

lives

by

sleeping

under

a

roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left

for

London

the

very

next

morning

and

my

uncle

gave

up

his

cottage in the country. This was

not the kind

of

adventure he

cared for either!

21. The uncle seldom spent much time in the country cottage

because ______.

A. the roof of the cottage was falling B. the cottage was in a bad

condition

C. he was used to living abroad D. there was no furniture in it

22. The word “crash” (Line 2, Paragraph 3) most probably refers

to ______.

A. a cry of terror B. a sudden ring

C. a sound of storm D. a sudden noise

23.

When

they

opened

the

bedroom

door,

they

could

see

nothing at first because ______.

A.

it

was

completely

dark

inside

B.

dust

was

blown

into

their

6

eyes

C. something strange blinded them D. there was too much dust

in the air

24.

The

narrator

felt

glad

that

he

had

stayed

up

late

because

______.

A.

he

did

not

miss

the

exciting

stories

B.

he

spent

more

time

with his uncle

C. he had a lucky escape D. he saw a strange sight

25.

Which

of

the

following

can

best

describe

the

narrator’s

uncle?

A. Adventurous and good at storytelling. B. Humorous and good

at making jokes.

C. Good-tempered and sensible. D. Hospitable and wealthy.

Passage 2

You might ask, what is Chinglish, anyway? It depends on whom

you

ask.

Chinese

parents

raising

their

children

in

English-speaking

countries

will

probably

answer:

Chinglish

is a

useful

mix

of

standard

Chinese

or

Cantonese

terms

with

day-to-day

English.

It

is

indeed

convenient

to

shorten

a

sentence such as “I don’t want to go now because it is too hot

and it will be hard to find a parking lot anyway” into “Don’t go

la,

hot

la,

tai

mafan

la.”

For

the

Chinese

high

-school

teacher,
