Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.【1】Thanksgiving Day is celebrated .A．in spring B．summer C．in autumn D．in winter【2】The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .A．some people from England B．the American IndiansC．Sarah Josepha Hale D．Governor Bradford【3】We can infer from the passage that New England must be .A. in the U. S. A.B. in Great BritainC. in CanadaD. on some island off the Atlantic【4】Which of the following is NOT true?A．Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.B．Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.C．Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks to God.D．There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.【5】The passage mainly tells us .A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebratedC. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holidayD. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places2.As I was leaving to meet Lynne，my roommate told me that I’d better take some money，but I didn’t listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I’d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order. The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said，“Oh！I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate，please？” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.In a few minutes he arrived with some money，but he couldn’t hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now，I think it’s funny too. But at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs （习俗） are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country，you have to learn about their customs，too. 【1】Customs can be ________in different countries according to this passage.A．close to each other B．entirely different C．quite the same D．very similar【2】The writer’s roommate advised the writer to take some money with him to________.A．invite Lynne to dinner B．pay for the tableC．share the cost of the meal D．pay for the restaurant【3】The writer and Lynne________.A．shared a successful dinner B．had a talk for three hoursC．traveled to Saudi Arabia together D．enjoyed their meal without talking【4】Why didn’t Lynne pay the check for the writer?A．Because she thought it was natural for people to pay their own check.B．Because she didn’t have the meal.C．Because she wanted to embarrass the writer.D．Because she didn’t have enough money with her.【5】The roommate laughed all the way home because the writer________.A．was embarrassed when he couldn’t pay his breakfastB．would not listen to him when he left the houseC．telephoned him to bring some books to himD．hadn’t told Lynne the truth3.I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “ If only I had sent my mother to F lorida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “ If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today.. t hat long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There are seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.【1】What is said about the two diseased elderly women?A．They lived out a natural lifeB．They died of exhaustion after the long plane rideC．They weren’t used to the change in weather.D．They died due to lack of care by family members.【2】The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ______.A．he wanted to comfort the two familiesB．he was an official from the communityC．he had great pity for the deceasedD．he was minister of the local church【3】People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _____.A．they couldn’t find a better way to expre ss their sorrowB．they believe that they were responsibleC．they had neglected the natural course of eventsD．they didn’t know things often turn in the opposite direction【4】According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that_____.A．everything in the world is predeterminedB．the world can be interpreted in different waysC．there is an explanation for everything in the worldD．we have to be sensible in order to understand the world【5】What’s the idea of the passage?A．Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B．Every story should have a happy ending.C．Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.D．In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.4.The internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Website(非法网站). Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers(黑客)have broken down security(安全) system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay US$ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However , there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm’s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the Website offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start http://--the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.【1】The underl ined word “fraud” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A．cheating B．sale C．payment D．use【2】According to this passage most people worry about shopping on the Internet because ______.A．a great number of stolen credit-cards are sold on the Internet every dayB．fraud on the Internet happens very oftenC．many Websites break down every dayD．there are too many illegal Websites on the Internet【3】Thieves usually get the information of the credit-card ______.A．because many customers lost their cardsB．by paying money for people working in the information companiesC．because of the carelessness of the customersD．by stealing the information from Websites【4】If the passwords of your credit-cards are not probably kept, _____.A．the bank and the shop will suffer great lossesB．you will not be able to get back your informationC．you might suffer great lossesD．the bank will answer for your loss【5】What’s the best title of the passage?A．How to Beat Online Credit-card ThievesB．How to Shop on the InternetC．Never Use Credit-card Without an Advanced ComputerD．Why Thieves Steal Credit-card Information四、其他阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

I told him that I knew several 47 like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He 48 that maybe there were more private courts in the country thanhe 49 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 50 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 51 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 52 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 53 the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 54 and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my 55 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.【1】A．brother B．teacher C． friend D．neighbour【2】A．happened B．managed C．tried D．wanted【3】A．expecting B．lying C． talking D．joking【4】A．funny B．serious C．careful D．disappointed 【5】A．find B．think C．realize D．see【6】A．indeed B．actually C． exactly D．instead 【7】A．famous B．interesting C．big D．noisy 【8】A．began B．stopped C．refused D．failed 【9】A．problem B．choice C．interest D．work 【10】A．just B．ever C．even D．surely 【11】A．suit B．habit C． river D．pools 【12】A. people B. players C strangers D. friends【13】A．advised B．admitted C． argued D．announced 【14】A．recognized B．realized C．visited D．found 【15】A．how B．whether C．where D．when 【16】A．if B．because C．then D．though 【17】A．doctor B．friend C．neighbour D．player 【18】A．visited B．hired C．designed D．sold 【19】A．smiled B．laughed C．cried D．nodded 【20】A．chance B．pleasure C． turn D．time三、阅读理解1.The octopus’s（章鱼）reputation as a human-killer isn’t simply an exaggeration（夸张）—it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural victims. Some shellfish（壳类动物）and an occasional sick or incautious fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed hunter, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even the largest among octopi is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to swallow a ship, as monster octopi in movies have been known to do, the largest octopus, found on the Pacific coast, weighs around 110 pounds and grows to no more than ten feet in width.The hard, parrot-like beak（喙）of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open shellfish. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. Instead, it feeds by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A shellfish that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to go close enough to these careful creatures to get a good look at them.【1】This passage is mainly about .A．the horrors of the octopusB．the largest octopus in the worldC．octopi and their behaviorD．the octopus’s deadly hunting method【2】It is implied but not stated in the passage that .A．people have unreasonable fears about the octopusB．the octopus is not interested in human beingsC．the octopus is afraid of human beingsD．the octopus is a very cruel sea animal【3】What does the underlined part “careful creatures” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Octopi.B．Shellfish.C．Fish.D．The victims.【4】The hard beak of the octopus is used for .A．attacking deep-sea divers B．cutting up large pieces of meatC．cutting open its victims D．defending itself【5】From the passage, we can conclude that .A．the octopus is not dangerous to manB．people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC．the octopus only hunts its natural victimsD．things described in movies are not to be believed2.One night recently , I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour . A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed . As we passed each other , I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second . I wondered whether he might be thinking , as I was , how dependent we were on each other at that moment . I was relying on him not to fall asleep , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end . Though we had never spoken a word to each other , he relied on me in just the same way .Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works . At some level , we all depend upon one another . Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line . And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively , with friends or even with strangers .As technology shrinks our world , the need increases for cooperative action among nations . In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus , which saved thousands of lives . The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world . We must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control .In my own life , I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility . But , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others . so , while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust .【1】The author considers very important .A．driving alone on a dark road B．independence of peopleC．cooperation to identify SARS virus D．shared trust and cooperation【2】The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because .A．the approaching car was very dangerousB．they both drove their car at a terrific speedC．he might be killed out of the other’s careless drivingD．it was dark and the road was not wide enough【3】From the second paragraph ,we know the author drew the important lesson from .A．only one experience B．many similar experiencesC．a driver on a dark road D．many friends and strangers【4】The need for cooperation increases because .A．peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselvesB．the SARS virus spread quicklyC．terrorism can happen everywhereD．the world has become smaller【5】We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has .A．believed in one’s own personal responsibilityB．counted upon himself alone in everythingC．had no trust in others’ good faith and judgmentD．had a change on his viewpoint of life3.Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I coul d change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）.This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing thei r employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire p eople if you have a conservative （保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”【1】David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because .A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB．he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC．he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes【2】David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A．they make him feel at ease when workingB．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC．he looks handsome in casual clothesD．he no longer works for any company【3】According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A．Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B．Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D．All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.【4】According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Company workers started to dress down about fifty years ago.B．Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.C．“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D．Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.【5】In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT .A．saving employees’ moneyB．making employees more attractiveC．improving employees’ motivationD．making employees happier4.Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing?Paper,No notebooks,no test paper.Nor are there any pencils or pens,which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A“paperless classroom”is what more and more sch ools are trying to achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subjectthey're studying from math to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan (阿富汗) over one year ago."We could touch every side of the country through different sites? from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student."Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.But, with all this technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.【1】What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the critical moment”, mean? A．Pens may not write well at the critical moment.B．Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.C．Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.D．Pens use ink, while pencils don't.【2】In a paperless classroom, what is a must?A．Pens.B．Computers.C．Information.D．Texts.【3】The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that _______.A．the Web could take them everywhereB．the Web taught them a lotC．the Web is a good tool for informationD．the Web better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information【4】The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.A．students B．teachers C．trees D．computers【5】What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down”, mean?A．Break into pieces.B．Stop workingC．Fall down.D．Lose control.四、其他Do you like chocolate? Most people do．Some like it in bars．Others just like big squares of it．Say you just got a box of chocolate．Which piece do you pick first? A study carried out by a professor in the University of Virginia showed that people's choices of chocolates show their personality．If you choose a round piece, you are a person who likes to party．If you select an oval shape, you are a person who strives．You like to make things and push yourself to be successful．Picking a square shape shows that this is an honest and truthful person you can depend on．What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate．This shows you have warm feelings about the past, while dark chocolate means something else—the person who chooses it looks forward to the future．What about white chocolate? Would you like to choose it? , you may find it hard to make up your mind．Those who like chocolate with nuts are people who like to help others．Do you believe these ideas? Can chocolate tell all these things? It doesn't matter．There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolates - they eat it because they like it．【1】What is the best title of the text? （Please answer within 8 words．）____________________________________________________________________________【2】Fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．（no more than 5 words）____________________________________________________________________________【3】What does the underlined word “this” refer to?____________________________________________________________________________【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards the inform ation about chocolate in the text?

I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming t o you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four d ays Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dolla rs. Correct?”Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but-still not a word.“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect（疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is!”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci（法语: 谢谢）,” she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was over come with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.“For the money.”“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this‘merci’?”“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to beso spineless（懦弱）? Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）-to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”【1】While talking to Julia, the writer expected from her________.A．a protest B．gratitude C．obedience D．an explanation 【2】What shocked the writer was Julia’s ________.A．nervousness in front of her bossB．acceptance of injusticeC．shyness when talking about moneyD．unwillingness to express herself【3】The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.A．to be more aggressive B．to be more careful in her workC．to protect her right D．to live independently【4】At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________. A．his understanding of Julia’s anxietyB．his worry about Julia’s futureC．his concern on the living condition of working-class peopleD．his sympathy for the mental state of those exploited【5】From the story, we can tell that Julia’s employer was________.A．greedy but honest B．ill-tempered but warm-heartedC．strict but forgiving D．none of the above2.Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).Fly on non-stop routesMost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.Choose larger aircraft.Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingThe information may seem repetitious , but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.Store things safelyNever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流).Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedCabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpectedturbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinksFlight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.【1】What is the overall reason for these air safety tips?A．What to do in the event of a crash.B．How to avoid turbulence.C．How to improve safety while you are flying.D．How to avoid injury.【2】The underlined word "those" in the second tip refers to _______.A．smaller planes B．passengers C．larger aircraft D．safety records 【3】The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth tip refers to _______.A．anything the flight staff tell you to doB．general safety adviceC．walking around the planeD．pouring hot drinks【4】Which of the following is NOT true?A．Larger planes have more safety checks and are safe in an accident.B．Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.C．Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.D．Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.【5】The best title of the passage should be _______.A．The Safest Way to Travel B．Air Safety TipsC．Non-stop Routes D．How to Fly a Plane3.Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one color may mean differently in different places of the world?In the English-speaking world, black is the color of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the color of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find color contradictions (矛盾). A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.【1】Yellow is concerned with anger in _______.A．Russia B．Britain C．Germany D．China【2】The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in _______.A．pronunciation B．climate C．logical relationship D．custom【3】Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______.A．black is the color of mourningB．a black-coated worker is employed in an officeC．red stands for beauty and excellenceD．a redcap is a porter in a station【4】The best title for this passage is _______.A．The Origin of Blue BloodB．The Development of the Symbolic Use of ColorsC．Colors that Carry Bad MeaningsD．The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors【5】When some Spanish called themselves "blueblood", they actually meant _______.A．they had heart trouble and their faces looked blueB．they came from a noble familyC．they had blue blood in their vesselsD．they were fairskinned4.So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.【1】The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A．it is one of the most difficult school coursesB．students spend endless hours in readingC．reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD．too much time is spent in teaching about reading【2】The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A．teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB．teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC．teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD．teachers can make their teaching activities observable【3】T he underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.A．inquiry B．observation C．control D．suspicion【4】According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A．children become highly motivatedB．teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC．teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD．reading enriches children’s experience【5】The main idea of the passage is that ________.A．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC．reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD．reading is more complicated that generally believed四、其他阅读下面短文并回答问题。

（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）AParents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives．However, doesn’t it seem that many of us become to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions——we even rebel against them.Why? It may be the so-called “generation gap”. A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, don’t understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. “She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world,” Zhang said. “Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, ‘How was your last exam?’ or ‘Have you made any progress in physics?’” To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily. “Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesn’t completely understand me,” Zhang said. Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.The generation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parentsno longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial things.When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some of us even become afraid to go home after school——a very serious situation for the whole family.1. Which of the following is not included in the passage?A. The causes of generation gap.B.

Things have changed.China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using bags. The rule started on June. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have1caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Anhui have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.5.

Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color,such as red or orange in a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for officers or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange and yellow are warm and that green, blue and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.8.
