第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节　(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Theme parks and amusement parks will be standing tall this season, not just in the sense of proudly displaying their shiny, brand spanking new rides.
Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio. Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting.
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies,includes some surprisingly touching moments as well.
Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois. The creative company that is building this new coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will make it the world’s tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It’s both a mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and forth and a forcing “dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work. The animated characters are particularly striking in the attraction, which is the capstone of the park’s New Fantasyland expansion.
( )21. How does ride fans feel after riding Banshee
A. Wonderful and excited.
B. Surprised and angry.
C. Disappointed.
D. Hopeless and happy.
( )22. What is Goliath made of
A. Steel. B. Wood.
C. Bamboo. D. Iron.
( )23. How is the cradle design of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
A. It takes guests into the colourful mine.　
B. It has an impressive track record.
C. It brings their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film.
D. It allows the cars to swing back and forth.
B
In the vast and diverse world of animals, there exist odd gestures that often leave us humans puzzled and amazed. These gestures, which may seem strange or unusual to us, are actually fascinating glimpses into the unique behaviours and communication styles of our pets.
Animals want our attention, and sometimes they’re quite obvious about asking for it. Odd gestures are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly follows his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. An extremely bored pet may choose “bad” behaviours to cause a reaction!
Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking (舔) your face. A little dog learns to lick his mother’s mouth to obtain a little food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.
Cat owners also misinterpret their pets’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to comfort herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is whether it goes on for a long period of time.
At some point, you’ve probably told these words to someone who made you angry. Dogs think similarly, avoiding eye contact with anyone who injures their feelings. Another sign of anger: yawning (打哈欠). A yawning dog may not be tired but anxious, not bored but stressed. Similarly, lip-licking—when there isn’t food around to bring about it—is another sign of threat.
You might think your dog is running around the backyard, having the time of his life while you’re away. But the reality is that he’s most likely just sitting in one spot for hours, waiting for you to return with anxiety. Dogs actually prefer to be inside, ideally with their owners.
( )24. If a dog intends to eat food, which action will it take
A. It stretches its legs, yawning.
B. It makes an eye contact with its owner.
C. It licks its owner’s face with a soft tongue.
D. It runs around the backyard, following its tail.
( )25. What do we learn about the gesture if a cat constantly kisses itself
A. It feels amused.
B. It feels stressed.
C. It feels angry.
D. It feels tired.
( )26. When the dog sits for a long time without moving, it reveals 　　　　.
A. the dog is eagerly awaiting your return
B. the dog displays a sign of tiredness
C. the dog is extremely bored to play with you
D. the dog displays a sign of embarrassment
( )27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pets: Lovely Animals
B. Dogs: Odd gestures
C. What Your Pet Is Trying to Tell You
D. What Should We Do with Our Pets
C
In the park, there are 9,485 of them. You sit on them, to rest, read a book, wait for a friend. Or it’s such a day when you have nothing to do, and this is a delicious place to accomplish absolutely nothing. Or you can drift off and muse on the plaque (纪念牌) attached there, representing a story behind the bench, the Central Park bench. You aren’t just sitting on wood. You are sitting on memories.
Caitlin LaMorte was the development manager for the Adopt-a-Bench programme which began in 1986 as a way to finance the maintenance of the benches. If you can afford it, it’s simple enough. Pay $10,000 and you get to put a plaque on a bench, saying almost whatever you want, up to a suggested maximum of four lines of 30 characters each. And then it’s there forever. Up to now, 4,223 of the benches have been adopted. While plenty of benches remain unadopted, some areas are sold out. For instance, all the benches facing the lake.
Benches can serve many purposes. Quite often, they’re adopted to remember a relative or friend. Or on occasion, a pet. Increasingly, Ms LaMorte said, “we have more plaques that are happy.” Graduations or birthdays or birth wishes or wedding gifts.
Last year, Karen May figured she would adopt a bench for her children. When her elder son, Theodore, proposed to his girlfriend, Lucinda, he wrote a brief children’s book for her called “Two Red Foxes,” because foxes were a recurring theme in her upbringing (as when a fox sped across the field when her father proposed to her mother). The foxes were stand-ins for Ms May’s son and his bride-to-be. And there was the fact that her younger son, Thornwell, went by the nickname Pup. So there is a bench facing the lake that reads, “Two Red Foxes and a Pup.” People will sit there and not know what it means. But Ms May knows.
( )28. What is the Adopt-a-Bench programme intended for
A. Raising funds for bench care.
B. Placing more plaques on benches.
C. Marketing the unadopted benches.
D. Attracting visitors to the Central Park.
( )29. What does the underlined word “stand-ins” probably mean
A. Relatives. B. Wishes.
C. Symbols. D. Gifts.
( )30. Why did Karen May adopt the bench
A. To remember two red foxes and a puppy.
B. To secure a lakeside bench for family use.
C. To promote her son’s newly published book.
D. To celebrate her children’s special moments.
( )31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Adopt-a-Bench Programme
B. Two Red Foxes and a Pup
C. Benches with Stories to Tell
D. A Creative Gift in the Park
D
Two small white dogs appeared as I arrived at a ranch house a few miles off the highway in Hempstead, followed by John Mendola, a retired police officer. He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named for a deceased dog called Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: They are Princess’s clones.
It has now been nearly thirty years since cloning mammals (哺乳动物) became possible. The technology has mainly been used to produce cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, since 2005, more than two thousand dogs have been successfully cloned. Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues.
There are issues of exploitation (剥削)—both of grieving owners who hope to bring back their lost pets, and of the unseen animals whose bodies are used in making a clone. There’s the issue of supply: the production of tailored dogs in a society when so many good, naturally born ones in shelters are in need of adoption. Finally, there’s an existential issue: Who, exactly, is produced when a dog is cloned Dogs are seen by most owners as a species of individuals, with distinct personalities. We keep them for companionship. As a result, we have placed our ideas of selfhood onto them, giving them preferences, fears, and moods. But, if it is dogs’ individuality that we value, how can we accept the idea that their unique and unreproducible selves can, in fact, be reproduced
As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. Many spoke of the original as simply “special”—but the specific nature of that specialness seemed almost impossible to be explained. Perhaps the desire was less about recreating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal.
( )32. What can we learn about the two white dogs in the first paragraph
A. They were named after a princess.
B. They were clones of a late dog.
C. They were distinct from each other.
D. They were naturally produced by Princess.
( )33. How is the cloning of dogs different from that of other mammals
A. It has higher success rates.
B. It raises more moral concerns.
C. It is technically more challenging.
D. It stirs greater public curiosity.
( )34. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the cloning of dogs
A. Unclear. B. Objective.
C. Favourable. D. Disapproving.
( )35. Why do people desire to clone their dogs
A. To deal with the identity issue.
B. To reproduce the original animal.
C. To recreate a distinctive emotional bond. 　
D. To find out the specialness of the original dog.

As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person.

Text 3

W: Don’t forget to add more cheese, or the pizza will have a very strange taste.

W: But we need to stick to the Italian recipe.
Text 5
W: I could run another three kilometres.

Text 6
M: Isn’t it too much trouble for your parents to make lunch for you every morning on weekdays Why don’t you join me to try the school canteen

W: I like it too. Apart from the beautiful songs and interesting plots, the animated characters from Disney are so fantastic. How vivid the characters are! I really suggest you see Encanto which is rather encouraging.
M: That’s true. Did you remember Mr White showing us one movie called Soul in class The cat in it is so lifelike and adorable.
W: Ha-ha. My cousin has two cats, and one of them looks exactly like the one in that film.

W: Cliff, I have heard you have been to many countries, such as India and Canada.
M: Yeah. I’ve experienced many interesting things abroad. The hora dance in Bulgaria, the snake dance in India and novel Christmas celebration in Canada.
W: What is the hora dance
M: Hora is a traditional Bulgarian dance in which people dance in a circle. The steps used in a hora dance are rather diverse, depending on different types. As for people with little skill, it can be learned in ten minutes. But it took me an extra five minutes to learn it.
W: What is new about the Christmas in Canada
M: The Santa Claus Parade in Toronto is one of the oldest and largest Santa parades in the world!
W: Sounds fun. How many people were there in the parade
M: It was a huge event with over 25 trucks loaded with flowers and 2,000 people taking part in it! It was broadcast live on TV around the world.
W: Wow, it’s unbelievable. I have every intention of trying this.

Today, I’m going to share my experience of how I shaped my body and built my career. Body building was just a hobby of mine in the beginning. I started caring about my body when I was sixteen. What caught my attention was that my physical state was not very well. In my hometown, gyms are only open to people above the age of eighteen. So I had to wait for a month before signing up for the class there then. In the meantime, I learned to exercise at home. When I joined the gym, I could work out with the equipment and ask for advice from some trainers. Little by little, I became very strong. When I was twenty, there was a man who came to me one day, and asked me if I wanted to take part in a photo shoot for a famous fashion magazine. I said no because I didn’t want to become a model, for I was still at college. My dream at that time was to become a bridge architect. Then a year later I won a body building competition, which made quite a few magazines approach me. This is how I decided to turn my hobby into my profession.
第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节　(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Theme parks and amusement parks will be standing tall this season, not just in the sense of proudly displaying their shiny, brand spanking new rides.
Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio. Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting.
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies,includes some surprisingly touching moments as well.
Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois. The creative company that is building this new coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will make it the world’s tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It’s both a mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and forth and a forcing “dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work. The animated characters are particularly striking in the attraction, which is the capstone of the park’s New Fantasyland expansion.

A. Wonderful and excited.
B. Surprised and angry.
C. Disappointed.

In the vast and diverse world of animals, there exist odd gestures that often leave us humans puzzled and amazed. These gestures, which may seem strange or unusual to us, are actually fascinating glimpses into the unique behaviours and communication styles of our pets.
Animals want our attention, and sometimes they’re quite obvious about asking for it. Odd gestures are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly follows his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. An extremely bored pet may choose “bad” behaviours to cause a reaction!
Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking (舔) your face. A little dog learns to lick his mother’s mouth to obtain a little food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.
Cat owners also misinterpret their pets’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to comfort herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is whether it goes on for a long period of time.
At some point, you’ve probably told these words to someone who made you angry. Dogs think similarly, avoiding eye contact with anyone who injures their feelings. Another sign of anger: yawning (打哈欠). A yawning dog may not be tired but anxious, not bored but stressed. Similarly, lip-licking—when there isn’t food around to bring about it—is another sign of threat.
You might think your dog is running around the backyard, having the time of his life while you’re away. But the reality is that he’s most likely just sitting in one spot for hours, waiting for you to return with anxiety. Dogs actually prefer to be inside, ideally with their owners.
(　C　)24. If a dog intends to eat food, which action will it take
A. It stretches its legs, yawning.
B. It makes an eye contact with its owner.
C. It licks its owner’s face with a soft tongue.
D. It runs around the backyard, following its tail.
(　B　)25. What do we learn about the gesture if a cat constantly kisses itself
A. It feels amused.
B. It feels stressed.
C. It feels angry.
D. It feels tired.
(　A　)26. When the dog sits for a long time without moving, it reveals 　　　　.
A. the dog is eagerly awaiting your return
B. the dog displays a sign of tiredness
C. the dog is extremely bored to play with you
D. the dog displays a sign of embarrassment
(　C　)27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pets: Lovely Animals
B. Dogs: Odd gestures
C. What Your Pet Is Trying to Tell You
D. What Should We Do with Our Pets

24. C　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…A little dog learns to lick his mother’s mouth to obtain a little food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.”可知,如果狗想吃东西,它会用舌头舔主人的脸。
25. B　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,一个判断猫的舔舐是否与压力有关的方法是看这种行为是否会持续很长时间,如果猫长时间地舔自己,可能是因为它感到有压力。
26. A　【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But the reality is that he’s most likely just sitting in one spot for hours, waiting for you to return with anxiety.”可知,当狗长时间坐着不动时,它实际上是在急切地等待你回来。
27. C　【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了宠物通过各种行为和姿势与人类进行沟通的方式,以及这些行为背后的含义。因此C项“你的宠物想告诉你什么”适合作为本文标题。
C
In the park, there are 9,485 of them. You sit on them, to rest, read a book, wait for a friend. Or it’s such a day when you have nothing to do, and this is a delicious place to accomplish absolutely nothing. Or you can drift off and muse on the plaque (纪念牌) attached there, representing a story behind the bench, the Central Park bench. You aren’t just sitting on wood. You are sitting on memories.
Caitlin LaMorte was the development manager for the Adopt-a-Bench programme which began in 1986 as a way to finance the maintenance of the benches. If you can afford it, it’s simple enough. Pay $10,000 and you get to put a plaque on a bench, saying almost whatever you want, up to a suggested maximum of four lines of 30 characters each. And then it’s there forever. Up to now, 4,223 of the benches have been adopted. While plenty of benches remain unadopted, some areas are sold out. For instance, all the benches facing the lake.
Benches can serve many purposes. Quite often, they’re adopted to remember a relative or friend. Or on occasion, a pet. Increasingly, Ms LaMorte said, “we have more plaques that are happy.” Graduations or birthdays or birth wishes or wedding gifts.
Last year, Karen May figured she would adopt a bench for her children. When her elder son, Theodore, proposed to his girlfriend, Lucinda, he wrote a brief children’s book for her called “Two Red Foxes,” because foxes were a recurring theme in her upbringing (as when a fox sped across the field when her father proposed to her mother). The foxes were stand-ins for Ms May’s son and his bride-to-be. And there was the fact that her younger son, Thornwell, went by the nickname Pup. So there is a bench facing the lake that reads, “Two Red Foxes and a Pup.” People will sit there and not know what it means. But Ms May knows.
(　A　)28. What is the Adopt-a-Bench programme intended for
A. Raising funds for bench care.
B. Placing more plaques on benches.
C. Marketing the unadopted benches.
D. Attracting visitors to the Central Park.
(　C　)29. What does the underlined word “stand-ins” probably mean
A. Relatives. B. Wishes.
C. Symbols. D. Gifts.
(　D　)30. Why did Karen May adopt the bench
A. To remember two red foxes and a puppy.
B. To secure a lakeside bench for family use.
C. To promote her son’s newly published book.
D. To celebrate her children’s special moments.
(　C　)31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Adopt-a-Bench Programme
B. Two Red Foxes and a Pup
C. Benches with Stories to Tell
D. A Creative Gift in the Park
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中央公园长椅及其背后的领养计划,人们通过付费可在长椅上放纪念牌,纪念亲人、朋友或特殊事件,传递回忆与情感。
28. A　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…for the Adopt-a-Bench programme which began in 1986 as a way to finance the maintenance of the benches.”可知,该计划的主要目的是为长椅的维护筹集资金。
29. C　【解析】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“When her elder son, Theodore, proposed to his girlfriend…foxes were a recurring theme in her upbringing (as when a fox sped across the field when her father proposed to her mother).”可知,狐狸代表了May女士的儿子和他的未婚妻。由此可知,画线词意为“代表”,与Symbols意思相近。
30. D　【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The foxes were stand-ins for Ms May’s son and his bride-to-be. And there was the fact that her younger son, Thornwell, went by the nickname Pup. So there is a bench facing the lake that reads, ‘Two Red Foxes and a Pup.’”可知,Karen May领养长椅是为了庆祝她孩子的特殊时刻。
31. C　【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了通过领养长椅计划,人们可以在长椅上放置纪念牌,讲述自己的故事并表达自己的情感,使得长椅有了生命和故事。因此C项“有故事要讲的长椅”适合作为本文标题。
D
Two small white dogs appeared as I arrived at a ranch house a few miles off the highway in Hempstead, followed by John Mendola, a retired police officer. He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named for a deceased dog called Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: They are Princess’s clones.
It has now been nearly thirty years since cloning mammals (哺乳动物) became possible. The technology has mainly been used to produce cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, since 2005, more than two thousand dogs have been successfully cloned. Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues.
There are issues of exploitation (剥削)—both of grieving owners who hope to bring back their lost pets, and of the unseen animals whose bodies are used in making a clone. There’s the issue of supply: the production of tailored dogs in a society when so many good, naturally born ones in shelters are in need of adoption. Finally, there’s an existential issue: Who, exactly, is produced when a dog is cloned Dogs are seen by most owners as a species of individuals, with distinct personalities. We keep them for companionship. As a result, we have placed our ideas of selfhood onto them, giving them preferences, fears, and moods. But, if it is dogs’ individuality that we value, how can we accept the idea that their unique and unreproducible selves can, in fact, be reproduced
As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. Many spoke of the original as simply “special”—but the specific nature of that specialness seemed almost impossible to be explained. Perhaps the desire was less about recreating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal.
(　B　)32. What can we learn about the two white dogs in the first paragraph
A. They were named after a princess.
B. They were clones of a late dog.
C. They were distinct from each other.
D. They were naturally produced by Princess.
(　B　)33. How is the cloning of dogs different from that of other mammals
A. It has higher success rates.
B. It raises more moral concerns.
C. It is technically more challenging.
D. It stirs greater public curiosity.
(　D　)34. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the cloning of dogs
A. Unclear. B. Objective.
C. Favourable. D. Disapproving.
(　C　)35. Why do people desire to clone their dogs
A. To deal with the identity issue.
B. To reproduce the original animal.
C. To recreate a distinctive emotional bond. 　
D. To find out the specialness of the original dog.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了克隆狗早已有之,但会引发一系列伦理和身份问题,作者对此也表达了自己的观点。
32. B　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He introduced me to the dogs…They were named for a deceased dog called Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: They are Princess’s clones.”可知,第一段中的两只白狗,是一只已故狗的克隆体。
33. B　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues.”可知,克隆狗与其他哺乳动物的不同之处在于它们会引发更多的道德问题。
34. D　【解析】 观点态度题。根据第三段中对狗的克隆产生的伦理问题和身份问题的分析及最后一段中的“…many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning.”可知,作者对克隆狗持不赞成的态度。
35. C　【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps the desire was less about recreating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal.”可知,人们渴望克隆狗是为了重建与原有动物独特的情感联系。

As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person.

　37　
Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too.
Einstein considered time to be important.
He never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 　38　 He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time.
Einstein liked to joke too.
In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 　39

The Forbidden City is in the centre of Beijing city. It is actually the largest and most significant royal palace complex in the world. A tour of the Forbidden City will allow you to see a large collection of unique and priceless palace artifacts including paintings and jade objects. I believe you will find this trip worthwhile and enjoyable.
Visiting the Forbidden City will also be a great chance for us to catch up, so I’m more than happy to accompany you on this tour. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked: “Are these yours ” “Yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly (胆怯地). “Have you killed the man ” “No, no, sir.” the farmer said in a hurry. “When did you see the dead man ” “About seven last evening.” “Did you see who killed the man ” “No, sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it yet ” “No, sir.” The officer became angry and told the policeman to beat him up and send him into prison. The officer wanted to trap the farmer into the confession (供认), but the farmer didn’t admit he was the murderer.

Paragraph 2:
The farmer was lucky. A few days later, a young man came to the police station with a lot of journalists, saying that he saw the murderer. It was the police officer who killed the man on the snow! He saw the police officer used a knife killing the man late in the evening. He was so frightened and ran away. But the young man thought the farmer was innocent.
