B．Honest.‎ C．Conservative. D．Polite.‎ ‎47．According to the text，which of the following is NOT true?‎ A．The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.‎ B．The writer’s answer made the student confused.‎ C．In the writer’s opinion，some people in the world are unfit to teach.‎ D．The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.‎ ‎48．We can infer from the text that ______.‎ A．the writer was also a good teacher in school B．the writer often plays with her students beside a pond C．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students D．the writer often accompanies the students on their way home C A Russian，a Cuban，an American businessman and an American lawyer were on a train traveling across England.The Russian took out a large bottle of vodka，gave each of the men a drink and then threw the rest half bottle of vodka out of the window.‎ ‎“Why did you do that？” asked the American businessman.‎ ‎“There’s too much vodka in my country，” said the Russian，“And really we have more than we will ever use.”‎ A little later，the Cuban passed around fine Havana Cigars.Then he threw his out of the window.‎ ‎“I thought Cuba is not a rich country”， the businessman said.“But you throw that very good cigars out of the window！”‎ ‎“Cigars，” the Cuban answered，“are the cheapest in my country.We have more of them than we know what to do with.”‎ The American businessman sat quietly for a moment.Then he got up，caught the lawyer by the arm and threw him out of the window.‎ ‎49．Vodka is a kind of ________.‎ A．treasure B．alcohol(酒)‎ C．food D．medicine ‎50．The Russian and the Cuban both wanted to ________.‎ A．tell the businessman what their countries are rich in B．prove(证明) that they were rich C．ask the two Americans to visit their countries D．make the businessman happy ‎51．When the businessman said “I thought Cuba is not a rich country.”，he meant “________”．‎ A．Russian is richer than ‎Cuba B．America is richer than Cuba and ‎Russia C．You shouldn’t throw that very good cigar away D．Do you have more cigars than me?‎ ‎52．What did the businessman want to say by throwing the lawyer out of the window?‎ A．I want to buy some vodka.‎ B．We have too many lawyers in my country.‎ C．I’ll go to Cuba and do some business of cigars.‎ D．If you need lawyers，come to America.‎ D Some people are never right.They never have good luck. They usually do the wrong things and say the wrong things. And even if what they say and do is OK, they say it or do it at the wrong time. So these people always have problems. They often break glasses. They sometimes miss buses or trains.‎ Mr.Neff is different. He is always right. He is never wrong. He usually has good luck. He hardly has problems. He never misses buses and trains. Even though he really misses them, it is always the fault of the buses and the trains.‎ Mr. Neff knows almost everything. He doesn’t ask questions. He answers questions. He never says “I don’t know”．‎ I don’t know Mrs. Neff. It seems that not many people know her. I sometimes want to know about her. Is she always right? Or maybe she is always wrong? Does she often break glasses or miss buses and trains?‎ Does she have problems? I really want to know!‎ ‎53．What kind of man is Mr.Neff?‎ A．He’s cleverer than other people.‎ B．He does everything better than his friends.‎ C．He’s the luckiest man in the world.‎ D．He is pleased with himself.‎ ‎54．The writer really thinks that ________.‎ A．Mr.Neff is always right ‎ B．Mr.Neff usually has good luck C．Mr.Neff almost knows everything D．it’s the fault of buses and trains when he misses them ‎55．Which of the following do you think is TRUE of Mrs.Neff?‎ A．She perhaps listens to her husband in everything.‎ B．She perhaps doesn’t agree with her husband.‎ C.
