7 . Around the World in 80 Days! —By Jules Verne

"We set out for Dover and Calais in ten minutes," Fogg announced. A puzzled grin appeared in Passepartout's round face: clearly he had not understood. "Monsieur is going to leave home?" "Yes," replied Phileas Fogg. "We are going around the world." Passepartout's eyes widened, he raised his eyebrows, held up his hands and seemed about to collapse. "Round the world!" he murmured. "In eighty days," responded Mr. Fogg. "So we don't have a moment to lose," "But the cases?" gasped Passepartout. "We won't have any cases," Fogg replied. "Only a bag with two shirts and three pairs of stockings for me in it, and the same for you. We'll buy our clothes on the way. Bring down my raincoat and traveling cloak, and some strong shoes, although we will do little walking. Hurry up!"

Passepartout tried to reply, but he could not. He mechanically began to make the preparations for departure. Around the world in eighty days! Was his master a fool? No. Was this a joke, then? They were going to Dover; good! To Calais; good again! After all, Passepartout, who had been away from France for five years, wouldn't be sorry to set foot in his own country again. Perhaps they would go as far as Paris, and it would do his eyes good to see Paris once again.

By eight o'clock Passepartout had packed the bag. Then, still feeling troubled, he went down to see

Mr. Fogg. Mr. Fogg was completely ready. Under his arm was a book containing timetables showing the arrival and departure of steam boats and trains. He took the bag, opened it, and slipped into it a roll of notes. "You haven't forgotten anything?" Fogg asked. "Nothing, monsieur." "My raincoat and cloak?" "Here they are." "Good!"

"Take this bag," Fogg said, handing it to Passepartout. "Take good care of it because there are twenty thousand pounds in it." Passepartout nearly dropped the bag, as if the twenty thousand pounds were in gold, and weighed him down. Passepartout and his master then left the house and at the end of Saville Row they took a taxi and drove rapidly to Charing Cross.

1. How did Passepartout react to the idea of the journey at first?

A．He argued with Mr. Fogg.	B．He was quite puzzled.
C．He was thankful to Mr. Fogg.	D．He was unhappy about it.

2. From the 3rd paragraph, it can be inferred that ________.

A．Mr. Fogg had read many books	B．Mr. Fogg was a slave owner
C．Mr. Fogg liked to be well dressed	D．Mr. Fogg had already packed for the journey

3. Passepartout felt pleased about ________.

A．the fact that Mr. Fogg wanted his company	B．the length of time he would be away
C．the opportunity the journey would give him	D．the preparation he made for the journey

4. What surprised Passepartout when Mr. Fogg handed him the bag of the money?

A．Mr. Fogg's attitude to it.	B．The size of the bag.
C．The weight of the money in it.	D．The amount of money in it.

9 . 阅读下而材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

From her lifeguard station at the end of the pool, Jessica noticed clouds forming in the sky. By the time she took a break at 2:30, the wind was picking up and the sky was darkening. The pool manager announced over the loudspeaker that the pool was closing immediately, due to a weather warning. He asked everyone to head to the safety of home before the storm hit.

All of the swimmers had left by 3: 30 except for Jessica's neighbor, eight-year-old Zack Hill. Zack's mother had dropped him off at the pool while she went to work. She had planned to pick him up later, but the storm was coming fast. Jessica decided that she would drop Zack off on her way home. She taped a note for Mrs. Hill on the door of the pool office and headed out.

The minute Jessica and Zack left the parking lot, it was clear that this was no ordinary storm. The wind was very strong, the storm clouds were dark, and the sky had turned a terrible green. The rain hit just as Jessica turned onto her street, Jessica said, “Jack, I'm going to take you to my house. We need to get inside right away, and your house is farther away than mine.”

She pressed the garage-door opener, but nothing happened. The electricity was out. The front door was only a few feet away, but the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to fight their way out of the car and into the house. Jessica held Zack's hand firmly. The door was heavy with the pressure of the wind. Finally, it opened, but it was blown out of Jessica's hand and it hit the side of the house. The window broke into pieces，Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.

注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。

Remembering everything she could learn from her emergency training, Jessica took Zack to the basement.

After a final crash, the sound of the storm grew distant.
