邯郸市2013年高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷及答案(8)

　　No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail （蜗牛）• Cooked in wine， snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who， ever since their early years，have learned to associate snails with food.

　　As my friend， Robert’s flat is in a large town， he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden arid take them to him. The idea never ap¬pealed to me very much， but one day， after a heavy shower， I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants. Acting on a sud¬den impulse （冲动），I collected several dozen， put them in a paper bag， and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would，of course， be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our surprise， we saw that there were snails everywhere； they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall！ I have never been able to look at a snail since then.
