第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Five thousand square meters of old damaged cars, motorcycles and boats fill this junkyard. For a casual onlooker, this might be a very sad sight. But for Andy, it’s a real treasure. “I’ve been a junk hoarder (囤积者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn’t be thrown away. Around 200 old cars end up in this junkyard every week. Some of them are sold for parts, others get repaired, and still others are beyond repair.”
His father Bobby started the business some 50 years ago and still spends every morning there. The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father’s project, which Andy did not want him to do. “He did basically the opposite of everything I told him and I think he did it just to make me mad. He dumped a ton of money into this car, but in the end it wouldn’t run.” Andy said jokingly.
The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That’s how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular. “There are hundreds of junkyards throughout the United States. I think what’s interesting is that it is a family business. My father and I started the business and we joke very well back and forth and I think that’s what people like. The cars that end up at the junkyard come out with endless surprises. See, this was a junk car and we restored it with a blown motor. Yet I don’t get a chance to ride around it too often. Because despite its shining appearance, the noise of the engine is truly deafening and I worry my neighbors will not put up with it.”
1、What does Andy seem to like about his junkyard?
A．It is very large.
B．It may be a bad sight.
C．It is amazing and valuable.
D．It is his life dreamland.
2、What can we infer from the “one Dean cab” case?
A．The father is ready to follow his son’s advice.
B．The son is impatient and fed up with his father.
C．The father and son get on well with each other.
D．The father and son often disagree with each other.
3、Why is the show Janka Empire popular?
A．There are hundreds of junkyards in the United States.
B．Bobby and Andy run their family business in an unusual way.
C．The show is a series of 5 seasons and 60 episodes.
D．Bobby and Andy can make the junk car attractive.
4、Which of the following words can best describe Bobby and Andy?
A．Devoted and creative. B．Funny and ridiculous.
C．Gentle and respectable. D．Economical and wealthy.

B
As we drove along, my spirits went up again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which I was entering. But though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o’clock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with them.
"Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.
With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation— consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my hands.
“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock— a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “His sister Mary Ann will require watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid
I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remaining one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest — but with her I had nothing to do.
1、Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfield's home?
A．She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confident.
B．She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.
C．She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decision.
D．She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.
2、What job would the writer take in Mrs. Bloomfield's home?
A．A nursery maid. B．A house cleaner.
C．A home cook. D．A family teacher.
3、Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold.
B．The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs. Bloomfield’s words.
C．All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.
D．All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs. Bloomfield herself.
4、From the passage, we can infer that ______.
A．Mrs. Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lot
B．the youngest girl Harriet would be the writer’s favorite student
C．the writer would take on more responsibilities than she should
D．Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children
