解析：选D。考查名词。temper脾气；appearance外貌，仪表；talent天才，才能；character特性，性格，品质。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
I’ll be the first to admit that I am a technophobe(对技术有恐惧感的人)．Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan?
I’ll always remember my last day at school.My best friend，Jenny，had organized a party in the Sixth Form Common Room.Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks.“I’m really looking forward to this party，Stingy，”she said.Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn’t like to spend money.Actually，it was true.
“There’s lots of money in the kitty(零星凑起的一笔钱)．Let’s go crazy！”Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army.It came to ￡19.90，which was a lot of money in 1982.
Jenny gave me a guilty look.“I’ve left the kitty money in the common room.Can you pay and I’ll give you back the money？”
“Sure，”I replied，trying to look relaxed.“Neither a lender nor a borrower be”was my motto but I didn’t want to look stingy(小气)．I gave ￡20 to the impatient shop assistant.
Well，the party was a great success.So great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day.I was going to live with my uncle’s family until I started university.
I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved.My ￡20 was lost，until I’d heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends.My husband helped me log on and find my school.There she was，Jenny Frost.
“Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie‘Stingy’Jones？I still owe her ￡20！”
“I’m now married with a beautiful daughter called Debbie.” We met two months later and the ￡20 was returned，plus interest(利息)of course.After all，I’m a bank manager now，so loans are my business.
1．Why did Jenny spend a lot of money on the snacks? A．Debbie had money.
B．There was money she could use.
C．She wanted Debbie to stop being stingy. D．She wanted to be crazy.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句可知Jenny攒了一笔钱，所以想要疯狂购物一回。
2．How did Debbie get her money at last? A．Her husband found Jenny.
B．Jenny had a website on the Internet. C．Debbie met Jenny.
D．Jenny put a message on the Friends Reunited website.
解析：选D。推理判断题。由文章的最后三段可知，作者看到了Jenny在校友录上的留言，从而与她取得了联系，并最终拿回了曾借出的钱。
3．Which sentence best describes Debbie Jones?
A．She didn’t like to spend money at school and often uses computers.
B．She sometimes lends money and doesn’t like using computers. C．She sometimes lends money and uses the computer whenever she can.
D．She doesn’t like to spend money and doesn’t like using computers.
