AThere are many superstitions (迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder—even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you've seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.②UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house—it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤Black catIn the UK, black cats are generally considered lucky, even though they are connected with witchcraft (巫术). You are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.21.After reading it, we have known ________.A.crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought by walkingunder an umbrellaB.breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God C.number 13 is always lucky in any situationD.opening an umbrella indoors might be considered to be an attack on the moon22.Which of the followings is RIGHT in the UK according to the passage?A.If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.B.Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to with witchcraft.C.Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain ways.D.Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopular.23.Which two superstitions are related to history?A.④⑤B.①②C.②④D.③④24.Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A.Breaking a mirror.

Now the event lasts from Friday until Sunday so that more people can participate in it. More than 200 organizations work together to create thousands of projects each year, Millions of young people across the United States take part in these service projects.Long before the event, people, community groups,schools, and non-profit organizations think of ways to meet their communities’ needs. Then, they plan projects for young volunteers. Projects include bringing food to hungry people, tutoring younger children and helping senior citizens. During the event, young people from the community do things like plantingneighborhood gardens and cleaning up local parks.The organizations that contribute to NYSD believe that volunteering and community service are important activities for people of all ages, but especially for young people.

What makes this aquarium special, however,is not just its size,but also its design. The Atoll Reef is built with an observation passageway that circles the aquarium on four different levels.

Sometimes a killer whale even takes part in the performance!Although Ocean Park's focus is on the water,the theme park has plenty of other activities, too. For people seeking excitement,there are rides like the Abyss Turbo Drop,a roller coaster ride that takes passengers on a 20-storey drop straight down. There are also exhibits like the Dinosaur Discovery Trail and Bird Paradise. Finally, no trip to Ocean Park would be complete without visiting the park's most popular animals—four giant pandas that were given as a gift from China's central government.28.Why is Hong Kong Ocean Park called an educational theme park?A.It provides chances for people to broaden their knowledge of high-tech products.B.It is specially designed to attract the young who are interested in swimming.C.It offers chances for visitors to enlarge their knowledge of marine life.D.It has plenty of activities for people to be volunteers.29.What makes the Atoll Reef so special?A.It allows visitors to watch sea life from all angles with a passageway.B.It has thousands of fish from various species.C.It is the only largest aquarium in the world.D.It holds more than 200 sharks.30.Which of the following activities is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Feeding some sea life in the huge outdoor pool.B.Visiting exhibitions about dinosaurs and birds.C.Taking a roller coaster ride on a 20-storey drop.D.Enjoying the show of dolphins and sea lions.31.

AIt was about midday. I’d left work early in the morning to cash a check. I walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers in there, a pretty unusual number for those central banks.I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face—just sort of a blank stare. I thought he was looking at me until I realized he was staring over my shoulder.I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor. Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol.Whether or not they said anything I ca n’t remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I don’t know. I put my hands up but I just didn’t know what to do.For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing. I remember wondering who was on the other end of the line. Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise deathly quiet.Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on.They jumped back over the counter. One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. The other two swore at him again. Then they left through the door, warning us, “Don’t move. Stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” Then they just disappeared and there was total silence.1.What does the writer mean by saying “…a pretty unusual number for those central banks” in the first paragraph?A.More customers than usual were staying in the bank.B.Less bank clerks than expected were in the bank.C.There were often more than a dozen customers in the bank.D.More banks should be open to serve customers in the city center.2.The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because ________.A.he was feeling upset at that momentB.he felt puzzled and sensed something terribleC.he was required to keep silenceD.he was threatened with a gun by robbers3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The customers didn’t wait in line but jumped the queue because of the confusion.B.All the people in the bank except the writer put their hands up automatically.C.Nobody answered the phone because all the clerks were busy with work.D.the bank workers were forced to fill the robbers’ bags with cash.4.What’s the best title of this passage?A.A Street Gang B.A Strange BankC.A Bank Robbery D.A Horrible AdventureBIn summer, some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt.Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat.River raftingHot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting.When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting.And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline (肾上腺素).Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving.Where to find: River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges.Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water.CavingPeople say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave.It is true.Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat.Now it's time to wear a lamp on your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness.Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling.Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus.Where to find: caving can be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers.Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydration(脱水); and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots.Coastal walking/cycling and beach activitiesFor those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer.With sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline.If you want to be sportier, try beach games, such as soccer and volleyball.It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass.Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan.Tips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are necessary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water.5.What does the underlined words "old hat" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Out of fashion.B.Out of the way.C.A particular fashion.D.A unique style.6.Helen lives in a big city, where is the best place for her to spend weekends?A.A riverbank.B.Underground rivers.C.An urban artificial beach.D.Mountainous areas.7.If you love river rafting trips, you can _____.A.go to the beach B.explore cavesC.do some outdoor activities D.drift the boat downstream8.What is specially needed to explore caves?A.An oxygen spa.B.A professional caver.C.A lamp.D.A helmet.CIt's time to be water efficient!As populations increase across Australia and the rest of the world, demand for water will also increase. If we don’t reduce each individual’s demand for water (both directly and through embodied water) the water situation will become dire.It is obvious that we cannot increase demands for water much more without detrimental(有害的) effects to the environment, society and the economy.It’s all too easy to blame someone else for the water situa tion –“if 70% of water is used for agriculture then that’s what we should target” –but it’s not that easy. We all depend on the food and resources that agriculture provides, and while there are definitely opportunities to increase water efficiency on the farm, the solution will take more than that.We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm, … everyone, everywhere, every time.It's time to become water efficient! This involves reassessing our relationship with water, and learning to use it more sparingly. On the most basic level, it requires a behavioural(行动的)change, and assigning a value to water that truly reflects its worth.We can also unlock economic benefits of being water efficient. There are many real world examples given in the case studies on this site.Everybody has a responsibility to save water, if future generations are to enjoy a similar standard of living to the one we enjoy now. In fact, many of the impacts associated with water use are likely to have an effect on our own lives!.au has been designed to help you respond to the challenge to become water efficient. It acts as a central repository for relevant information and further advice, so that you can actually achieve significant savings. It also showcases those companies with products that will assist you in your goal.9.Can you infer where this passage is from?A. newspaperB. TV programmeC. Radio broadcastD. Internet10.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Water is very important for the human.B. Everybody has a responsibility to save water.C. It's time to be water efficient.D. Let’s save water for our future generations.11.What can we do to save water?A. find more water resourcesB. use less water everywhere, every timeC. realize the importance of saving waterD. unlock economic benefits of being water efficient12.What is not the reason to save water?A. There are more and more people in the world.B. The water resources are limited.C. Agriculture needs more water.D. The water is very important for us.DHow to make a BudgetMost likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner. But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance would put some money in your pocket. For kids and grown-ups alike money is easy to spend. If you aren’t careful, it can be gone in no time.Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn and the sooner you start the better. Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special, creating a budget can help you deal with expenses and plan for the future.

No matter how attractive it may be, avoid spending your savings. One day, you will thank yourself!13.

AMy father was poor in expressing his feelings. I knew that my dad loved me, but showed me love in other ways. There w as one particular time in my life when this became real to me.I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but gr adually the strain(紧张)on my mom and dad’ s relationship was quite evident. Howev er, I was not prepared for the day when Dad had decided to le ave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced(离婚)family. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t going to happen. T he night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time.I prayed(祈祷) and I cried and I wrote along letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and tha t I would always and forever be his Krissie. As I folded my not e, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard: “ Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.” Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sli pped my letter into one of his bags.Two weeks later, mymother told me that they decided that there were things that b oth of them could and would change and that their marriage w as worth saving. “Well, Dad said that when he read your letter , it made him cry. It meant a lot to him and I have hardly ever seen your dad cry. After he read your letter, he called to ask if he could come over to talk. Whatever you said really made a difference to your dad.”A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, I guessed that it became a secret between us.1. Why did the author’s father decide to leave?A. Because he was poor in showing his feelings.B. Because his wife was always giving orders.C. Because serious problems occurred(发生)in the marriage.D. Because the strain on father-daughter relationship was evident.2. How did the author feel when her father decided to leave?A. ExcitedB. AnnoyedC. DoubtfulD. Upset3. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.A. a man may have to give up a lot to be a real fatherB. a man may have to give in to his wife to be a daddy.C. a man who raises special children can become a real fathe r.D. a man who develops some special talents can be a real fat her.BIt is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the s ame roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not too long ago times people were connected to thei r food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came une xpectedly, dad would kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone wasinvolved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. Whe n the meal ended, most of the family was involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us--- fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holi days. Our fast-paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fo oled into thinking we need, or even must be fast and have wh at the “fast life” gives us. As a result, stress(压力)is leading to many new health problems.The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to address the iss ue of “time poverty” through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a world-wide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and c onnect with our life. We need connection to people---ourselves, our family, our community, our friends,--- to food, to place (where we live), and to life.By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have know n how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural w orld and rhythms around them. And moreimportantly, they have reconnected---they have lived a new connected lifestyle.4.

The other was a very o ld and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service , but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Th en he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to t he flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It cou ld carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled(溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: be fore it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked(漏出)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “ See how capable I a m! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowe rs every day! I don’t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “ I know I’m not ver y useful, but I am only do my best. I’m happy that the gardene r still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “ You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they n oticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to t he garden.8.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago,as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie,I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28.

The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D.

Two - thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle(北极圈), where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport, clothing and food.The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered by its western neighboring Sweden. After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic Wars (1814 - 1818) Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917. when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortlyafter Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic. The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation's wealth lies in the timber (木材) from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water.39.From the passage, we learn that Finland ________.A.lies inside the Arctic Circle B.is next to the countries of northern Europe C.lies east of Sweden D.is entirely covered with forests and lakes 40.In the history, Finland was sequentially(相继的) ruled by ________.A.Sweden, Germany, Denmark and RussiaB.Sweden, Denmark, Sweden and RussiaC.Sweden, Denmark, Russia and GermanyD.Sweden, Russia, Denmark and Russia41.Finland must have been under the control of ___ for as long as one hundred years or so .A.Russia B.Denmark C.Sweden D.foreign countries42.Finland won its complete independence in ________.A.1523 B.1917 C.1155 D.1919CWoman Uses Daughter’s Key to “Steal” CarCharlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned that a woman had mistaken it for her daughter’s car and driven it home—using her key.Kate Anderson became an accidental “car thief” when picking up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University buil ding last week. Anderson found the Toyota Camry (丰田凯美瑞) and used he r daughter’s car key to unlock the car, start the engine and drove it home—without realizing that the car didn’t belong to her daughter.When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed (拖走), but when the police couldn’t find a record of it, then they took a theft report.That morning, after Anderson drove the car home, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway (私人车道) wasn’t hers.
