Moreover 第三局部：阅读理解共20小题，每题2分，总分值40分AI was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, Id be busy 24 hours a day. The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didnt realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didnt go off.Isnt it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “Theyre supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey? The students looked at me nervously.“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note - the first class, ever, to practice writing them. Youre so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today Id like you to write An Excuse Note from Adam to God or An Excuse Note from Eve to God. Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “Id like you to see me in my office.When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. 56. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?A. He reported them to the headmaster.B. He lectured them hard on honesty.C. He had them take notes before lunch.D. He helped improve their writing skills.57.

The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that the students could learn_. A. the importance of being honest B. how to be creative in writingC. the pleasure of creative writing D. how to write excuse notes skillfully 59. The underlined word “forged in the second paragraph means “_.A. false B. copied C. former D. honest60. What did the headmaster think of the authors way of teaching?A. Misleading. B. Difficult C.

B When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:As described: This includes the history of the car as well as its specificationFor example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner, it shouldnt turn out to have had several previous “boy racer owners.Of satisfactory quality: It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problemAlso, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory, because theres certainly an element of wear and tearFit for the purpose:It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the sellerIf any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the right to reject the vehicle and get your money back if youre reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).Once youve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.If the rejection is not accepted, then its up to you to prove your case. Youll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue打官司，起诉for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.If the car is new, its likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.61.
