Ⅰ.阅读理解
An Italian couple will become the world’s oldest divorces，after the 99-year-old husband found that his 96-year-old wife had an affair(婚外情)in the 1940s.
The Italian man，called by lawyers in the case as Antonio C，was looking through an old drawer when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.
In spite of the time that had passed since the affair，he was so upset that he immediately asked his wife of 77 years，named as Rosa C，whether it was true，and demanded a divorce.
Stricken by the guilt，she reportedly admitted everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision，though her children also did much more work.
She wrote letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s，according to court papers released in Rome this week，which made people know the truth.
The couple are now preparing to split，though the marriage they built has lasted over nearly eight decades—they have five children，a dozen grandchildren and one great-grand child.
The discovery of the letters was the final problem for their marriage which had already run into difficulty—10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons，only to return a few weeks later.
The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the couple’s southern blood—he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia，while his wife was born in Naples.The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio served as a young officer.
The case appears to set a new record，at least for the age of the oldest figures—the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood，both aged 98，from the UK.
That pair ended their 36-year marriage in 2009 when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays.They got married in Elstree，Hertfordshire，in 1972 having both ended previous marriages，before moving to Falmouth，Cornwall four years later. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．To find his wife’s affair，Antonio C looked through an old drawer. B．Rosa C’s lover may be Bertie.
C．Rosa C admitted what she did because she was sorry for her guilt.
D．The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the discovery of the letters. 答案 C
解析 细节理解题。第二段说这个意大利老人在翻看一个旧抽屉时发现他妻子有婚外情这一事实，因此A项表述不正确；倒数第二段说他们的离婚打破了98岁离婚的Bertie和Jessie Wood的纪录，文章也没有提到Rosa C的情人，因此B项不对；第四段说他的妻子为当年的事内疚，承认了一切，因此C项正确；第七段说在此之前他们的婚姻已经有问题了，这一发现只是他们婚姻的“最后一个问题”，因此D项不对。 2．Which word can replace the underlined word “released” in Paragraph 5? A．Advertised. C．Concluded. 答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。第五段是说法庭的这些文书本周在罗马发布了，这使得人们了解了真相，因此该词的含义是B项“发布”，而不是“打广告”“下结论”“表达”。 3．Which of the following best describes Antonio C? A．A childish man. C．A romantic man. 答案 D
解析 推理判断题。第四段说妻子坦白了一切，孩子们也做了很多工作，但这一切都没能说服丈夫回心转意，由此可推断出Antonio C是一个固执的人，铁了心要离婚，因此选D。 4．The marriage of Antonio C and Rosa C . A．may come to an end because the husband sticks to his decision B．appears to set a new record C．may have lasted over 36 years
D．began in the 1930s before both ending previous marriages 答案 A
解析 推理判断题。从文章的叙述看，这对近百岁的高龄夫妇的婚姻因为丈夫执意要离婚而即将走向尽头(A项正确)；他们的离婚而不是结婚创造了纪录(B项错误)；其婚姻持续了77年(C项错误)；D项说他们的婚姻始于20世纪30年代，在结婚之前都结束了先前的婚姻，不符合文章的叙述。因此选A。 Ⅱ.阅读填空
I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. 1 One night，just before Christmas，I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables.I guessed I should have checked it to find out who was the owner，but I was busy at the time.Also，
B．A rude man. D．A stubborn man.
B．Announced. D．Expressed.
I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable，the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台)． 2 I asked him to describe the lost wallet，and after he described it exactly，I gave him the wallet.He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him.He asked me if I had opened it，and when I told him “No”，he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash(现金)． 3 “A reward for your honesty，” he said and then turned and walked away.
4 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet！I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领) it，I might have kept it.But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 5 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
A．He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet. B．Later I thought about it again.
C．To my surprise，he took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me. D．So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned. E．I wanted to be honest，so I didn’t care much about money. F．I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy. G．For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it. 答案 1.F 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.G Ⅲ.语法填空
