A
Once upon a tie there was one storyteller. After getting tired of telling old fabricated stories, he left his house in search of a real life story.
He reached a village and took a cottage for rent. After wandering in the village throughout the onth, in search of true stories, the storyteller couldn't find one. Disappointed, he decided to stop his search.
The next day, while sitting in the cottage, he suddenly heard a voice—a woan was yelling(吼叫)at soeone. The voice was coing fro the big wall behind his cottage.
He tried to hear the conversation; it sounded like the woan was abusing(辱罵)her daughterinla The storyteller didn't like it but he was happy to finally get his story.
Listening to the conversations each day he added the to his story. Though he couldn't see the characters of his story, he started hating the otherinlaw, as she seeed to be a villain(壞人)．
Now it was tie to finalize the end of the story. But before he did, the storyteller wanted to see the characters once, so he clibed up the wall.
There he saw the otherinlaw sitting in a wheelchair. It seeed she was disabled and that the daughterinlaas resting nearby.
He saw the old lady trying to get soe food lying on the table near her chair. But because of her condition, she couldn't reach it and it looked like the daughterinlaas enjoying the old lady's helplessness. Suddenly the old lady fell fro the chair and started abusing her daughterinla
The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story. He was surprised how different it was copared to what he originally thought it would be.
Truly he had found both a real life story and a real life lesson.

答案與解析：
16．B 根據(jù)第一段“he left his house in search of a real life story”可知，他平常講的故事都不是真實的，而是虛構(gòu)的。fabricated“編造的，虛構(gòu)的”，與iaginary意義相同。
17．D 根據(jù)第六段的內(nèi)容可知，說書人爬墻是為了看一眼故事中的主人公。
18．A 根據(jù)第八段可知，那位老太太由于殘疾坐在輪椅中，她夠不到食物，而兒媳似乎很高興看到她的無助。當(dāng)老人跌倒時，她開始罵兒媳了。
19．C 講故事的人在看到婆媳二人的實際情況后，才發(fā)現(xiàn)婆婆罵兒媳的真正原因，而之前他僅憑在墻外聽得出了錯誤的結(jié)論�？梢姳镜脑⒁鉃椤岸牉樘摚垡姙閷崱�，與C項的陳述相符。
B
y students often tell e that they do not have “enough tie” to do all their schoolwork.
y reply is often a brief “You have as uch tie as the president”. I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough tie” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting soething done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to justify (證明……有理) yself to one of y professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to e was，“That's irrelevant. What's iportant is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had tie to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(妙計), and I have coe to soe conclusions, all relevant to the issue of how uch tie we have.
If you look at the atter analytically, you can identify two parts of the proble: There is, of course, the atter of “tie”， which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that tie, which can vary in intensity. But, as y professor suggested, it's not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product that's iportant.
That led e to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in soeone's office: “Don't work harder. Work sarter.” There's a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can't get ore tie, and few of us can, the only solution is to iprove the quality of the work. That eans devising(想出) ways of getting ore out of the sae tie than we ight otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually eans “hoework”， the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”．
Then, as a sart student, you will seek to iprove those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.
20. Fro the passage, we know that the author is ost probably________.
A. a poet B. an educator
C. a novelist D. an engineer
21. We can infer fro the second paragraph that students still________.
A. have enough tie
B. can eet the president
C. can get soething done well
D. should accept the teacher's suggestion
22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. y students often ake full use of their tie to do all their hoework.
B. I once tried to show yself to y professor by saying that I was wrong.
C. any of us can get ore tie to iprove the quality of the work.
D. Iproving reading and writing skills will benefit students a lot.
23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Not an Acceptable Explanation
B. Don't Work Harder. Work Sarter
C. An Analysis of Our Work Habits
D. Read Better And Write Better
答案與解析：
20．B 根據(jù)第一段首句中的關(guān)鍵信息y students和第三段中的關(guān)鍵信息Once in graduate school說明“我”研究生畢業(yè)后從事的是教育行業(yè)，故an educator符合作者身份。
21．A “我”對自己的學(xué)生說“你的時間和總統(tǒng)的一樣多”，并指出，把“時間不夠”作為沒有完成某事的理由是不可接受的。由此可得出結(jié)論：學(xué)生仍是有充足的時間的。
22．D A項錯在與第一句不吻合；B項錯在與第三段第一句不吻合；C項錯在與第六段第一句不吻合；D項與最后一段的內(nèi)容吻合。
23．B 主要向我們闡述：我們每個人的時間都是一樣的，要想提高學(xué)習(xí)質(zhì)量，只有在改善學(xué)習(xí)方法上下工夫，即不要苦干，要巧干，故B項最能概括主旨。
Ⅲ.書面表達(dá)
假設(shè)你是張林，你的老板r. Whitehead要求你于周六上午去參加一個產(chǎn)品介紹會。你因故不能參加。請你根據(jù)以下要點，寫一封短信向r. Whitehead請假。
內(nèi)容要點：
