阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分) 【福建省厦门外国语学校2013模拟】A A month went by in this manner, but a month was all I could bear.The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went.I had loved that woman – still loved her – too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me.Whatever feelings I might have for her now, I had to see her again.At once.„
I knew Marguerite.Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion.Probably, she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting.But, seeing me back and coming face to face with me, weak as I was, she had sensed that my return had a purpose, and must have wondered what was going to happen.If, when I saw her again, Marguerite had been unhappy; if, in taking my revenge (复仇), there had also been some way of helping her then I might well have forgiven her, and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm.But when I saw her again, she was happy, at least on the surface.Another man had ensured her the wealthy life in which I had been unable to keep her.She brought shame both to my pride and my love; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered.I could not remain cold to what she did now.It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show coldne.Coldne, therefore, was the feeling which I now needed to pretend, not only in her presence but in the eyes of others.I tried to put a smile on my face, and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was staying.„
Prudence saw me to the door, and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer.56.This paage is most probably ______ of a love story.

(二) If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Maachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.
“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a proce the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

(一) There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art.Washington D .C.has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum.Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see.And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.You don’t have to visit the University to see the art.You just need a computer linked to a telephone.

雨) that does fall is all but constant.Even when the sky is perfectly blue, you can be sure it’s going to cloud over and start drizzling again within the hour.And when it does, there is chaos.Trains stop, drains(下水道) block, and buses break down as if this was the first time the local authorities had seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds.So—as with so many things in the UK—it’s up to ordinary people to sort themselves out.No self-respecting Briton will ever leave home without his “brolly” —as the umbrella is affectionately known.A brolly has hundreds of uses, even on rare rain-free days.A real gentleman of London will use his umbrella as a walking stick.A traditional game of cricket can be played using an umbrella as a hat.Nor do you ever have to be afraid of robbers—your umbrella doubles as a defensive weapon.There is no brolly more British than my own.But it’s not from London or Manchester or any where in the UK.It was a gift from my Chinese teacher—in Beijing.How fitting that my No.l symbol of Brutishne—like almost everything in Britain—was made in China.60.The author mentioned her rainy weather experience in Beijing to show that .A.many foreigners have embarraing moments living in Beijing B.the rain in Beijing is usually much heavier than the rain in London C.British people are more used to rainy weather than Chinese people D.both Beijing and Londoners have unpleasant experience with sudden rain 61.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.
