阅读理解。
In 1909 an English newspaper offered £1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an
aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race
to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well
known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said,
"He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!"
But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his
doctors told him he had only a year to live. "Oh, well," he said, "if I' m going to die soon, I think I shall
have a dangerous and interesting life now." Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten
kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink
under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly
lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud.
He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer's field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer
rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. "Have you anything
to declare (报关)" The officer demanded.

阅读理解。 When a person passes thro
阅读理解。
When a person passes through the customs (海关) between two countries, he would be questioned by a
customs inspector (检查员). If a person brings in goods of great value, the inspector may ask him to pay
taxes on them. Some people try to hide the valuables they have with them so that they will not have to pay
these taxes. But customs inspectors are hard to fool.
Inspector Joseph Koehler has worked for the US Customs Service for years. One day a group of
passengers arrived on a flight from Belgium.
Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him
pick her out of them ― the woman's baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign
of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid himself of the feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This woman's height didn't seem right somehow.
Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.
The inspector opened them. A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More jewels were found under a
false bottom in one of her suitcases. Their total weight was 3,387 carats. It was one of the largest diamond
hauls (缴获) ever made by the US Customs.
1. From the passage, we can know that Joseph Koehler _____.
A. only asked the women passengers to pay taxes on the valuable goods
B. had worked for almost one year in the US customs
C. opened every passengers' package when they passed the customs
D. found a false bottom in one of the woman's suitcases
2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to"_____".
A. the tax the woman should pay
B. the reason to pick the woman out
C. the woman's baggage
D. the inspector's duty
3. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the woman was fond of making jokes
B. the jewels were of high quality
C. Koehler made great contributions to US Customs
D. US Customs are in great need of inspectors like Koehler
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Koehler was attracted by the woman's beauty.
B. The woman made some changes to her baggage.
C. The job of a customs inspector is dangerous.
D. The jewels were damaged by the US Customs.

Koeler took special notice of the tall woman who was nicely dressed, but she was wearing ugly,
thick-soled (厚底) shoes.

were hollow (中空的). They were opened. Some diamonds fell out on the floor. Their total weight was
3377 carats (克拉).
The young woman broke down in tears. Then she told her story. For years she had dreamed of
coming to live in America, she said. At last she had managed to get the papers she needed to come to
the U.S. Then a strange man called on her. He said he would pay for her trip and give her one hundred
dollars. All she had to do was to smuggle the diamonds past the U.S. Customs (海关). The man gave
her the shoes and also bought her a plane ticket. Just before she got on the plane, he gave her an
envelope. He said that it was the hundred dollars he had promised.
The weeping woman handed the envelope to Koeler. He tore it open. There was only eighteen
dollars. She was cheated. In the end the woman was trialed and sentenced to eighteen months in prison
for her part in the smuggling.

I can enter all the big motor races."
Then he laughed,"I might even end up (以……而告终) world champion."

put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read.
Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with the ducks' feet at once and said, "Whose is
that bag"
Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, "I shall have to take it away from
the owner. Food mustn't be taken out of country."
"Well, then," said the small man with a fat stomach." Hurry up and take it away. We want to go home.
"The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage (车厢).
At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at other
passengers and said, "I hope that they'll enjoy the ducks' feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in
it." Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied over the stomach,
which was not really fat. "I have the rest of the two ducks here," he said. With these words, he got off the
train.

saying, "Hey, man! Foreign food mustn't be brought in."

阅读理解。
Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother's birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that
would be nice and useful but not expensive. A week before her mother's birthday, she went shopping
after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was
selling cheap umbrellas (伞), and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month
before.
She thought, "You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color." So she decided to
buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening, she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch
that she went along to the buffet car (餐车) for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the
black umbrella above her seat in the compartment (车厢), but when she got back, it had gone! When
she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers (乘客) in it, but now there were three.
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very
sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for
her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers
heard it, they asked her for her mother's address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone
had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, "Thank you very much for your lovely presents,
but why did you send me three black umbrellas"
