第二部分 阅读理解(共25小题;每小题2分，满分50分)

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I’ve never visited the town of Wetumka in Oklahoma. But I understand the folks there celebrate a day every year when they laugh at themselves. They call it Sucker Day and they plan a town festival on the last Saturday of September to celebrate it.

It started in 1950 when a man called himself Morrison arrived there and persuaded local residents to put up money to bring a circus to town. They didn’t know him, but he was a nice enough fellow and they trusted his words.

Businessmen bought plenty of food, drinks, and even they prepared gifts for crowds of people who were bound to arrive. And Morrison sold tickets ahead of time. People in the town were so excited at the sight of a circus in their own town. Children could hardly sleep at night.

On the day the circus parade was to march in the main street, excitement turned into disappointment when nothing happened. Morrison had escaped away in the night with all the money he had got. There was no circus. The good folks of Wetumka were cheated.

It didn’t take long for their disappointment to turn to amusement, however, someone came up with an idea of holding a four-day celebration anyway. And why not? They had all the food and gifts. Calendars were clear, and besides, everyone’s heart was set on having a good time.

They called their party the Sucker Festival. In a display of good-natured fun, people celebrated the fact that they’d been robbed, fooled. And now Sucker Day is an annual event in the town___ a good excuse to come together, to laugh and have fun.

We are going to be fooled sometimes, especially if we easily place our confidence in people. But we shouldn’t give up trusting just to avoid being cheated.

51. After Morrison ran away, the people in the town .

A. searched for him everywhere but in vain.

B. All became angry with him

C. were sorry for their lost money

D. celebrated although cheated

52. The purpose of the passage is to .

A. encourage us to turn disappointment into amusement

B. advise us to experience the spirit of Sucker Day

C. warn us to look out for cheats in life

D. give us some ideas of a different culture.

53. The author’s feeling to people in Wetumka cab be described as .

A. sympathetic B. appreciative C. doubtful D. disappointed

54. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Sucker Day B. A Clever Cheat

C. Poor Folks of Wetumka D. A Pleasant Surprise
