CSomething bad happened to Sam this morning. He fell over and broke his nose in the school hallway. When Sam looked up, he saw his friends. "Are you OK?" They asked him. But he didn't say anything to them. He stood up and ran to the classroom quickly. Sam put his schoolbag on his desk and went out to the school hospital. On his way back to the classroom he saw his friends again. They were laughing. Sam thought they were laughing at him, so he didn't talk to them for the rest of the morning.At lunchtime, Sam's friends came up to him and asked, "How is your nose?" "Fine!" Sam shouted. "I saw you laughing at me this morning!" "We didn't. We laughed just because Jenny told us a joke," his friends said. "Well, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" "Yes, of course. But next time you should ask us before you assume (假定) something." They looked at each other and laughed happily. They were still friends.(1)What happened to Sam this morning?A . He fell over and broke his nose.B . He didn't catch (赶上) the school bus.C . His schoolbag was lost.D . He was late for school.(2)Where did Sam put his schoolbag?A . In the school hallway.B . In the school hospital.C . On his desk.D . On the playground.(3)Why was Sam angry with his friends?A . Because Jenny told them a joke.B . Because they didn't talk with him.C . Because he thought they laughed at him.D . Because they didn't go to the hospital with him.(4)What can we learn from the passage?A . Laughing can help us relax.B . Not everyone cares about you.C . People with similar traits can be friends.D . We should ask clearly before assuming anything.2. (10分)阅读理解Of course you don't want to be sick in your vacation. So what can you do while traveling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well.A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: shops, parks, churches and temples(寺庙). You may spend most of the days walking around these places. Tourists can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench.Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body need fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, milk and cheese.So remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food.(1)You should_______ while traveling.A . eat wellB . walk all the timeC . do shoppingD . ask your body to do a lot(2)Traveling is usually ______.A . easyB . noisyC . tiringD . dangerous(3)You must________ to enjoy your traveling.A . visit parksB . go to churches and templesC . walk around the placesD . get enough sleep and eat healthy food(4)The underlined word "extra" means ______ here.A . one moreB . more than oneC . usualD . different(5)The passage tells us ______ in traveling.A . how to workB . how to take care of ourselvesC . what places to visitD . When to travel3. (6分)阅读理解It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn't fully accepted abroad. The 2001 film Treatment(《刮痧》)tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who's charged with guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson's disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and areas."We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals," said Wang Guoqiang at a news meeting on Dec 6. "Governments of 86 countries and areas have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation(合作)."One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria(抗疟疾)drug qinghaosu(青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize, TCM became even more famous all over the world.However, all these achievements in TCM don't mean that it's problem-free. Over the years,TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with western medicine."Bringing together with western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential(潜力)for great effects is," said Bernhard Schwartlander,the China representative(代表)of the World Health Organization.(1)The film Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to .A . show TCM is increasingly popularB . introduce the film Treatment to readersC . prove TCM is not fully accepted abroadD . arouse readers' interest in Chinese medicine(2)We can learn from the passage that .A . TCM is not exact in curing diseasesB . 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC . 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMD . Tu Youyou's success contributes to the popularity of TCM(3)Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A . A Report on TCMB . TCM&Western MedicineC . Opinions about TCMD . TCM Treatment Spreads二、任务型阅读。
