AOne day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday —ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an o1d 1ady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady’s handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag — the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the o1d lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, she decided to take back the money from the old lady’s hand bag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the o1d lady’s bag, took the notes, and put them into her ow n handbag.When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.“How did you pay for it?” Mr. White asked.“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course” she answered.“Oh?

Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection.When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now.In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard,as we know now, was created.5.

Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of audience, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.9 . From the passage we can learn that the author______.A. comes to know how important it is to make some moneyB. realizes that it is more important to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC. does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD. thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education10 . The author believes the awards he has received ____.A. show that he is a top studentB. show how much time he has spent in learningC. mean that he knows how to learnD. don’t necessarily show he is excellent in many ways11. The author feels fearful that he will be of no use to society mainly because______.A. he is unable to develop himselfB. studying takes too much of his timeC. he does not know how to communicate with othersD. he feels that he is a failureDEver wondered why fresh fruits and vegetables are the first thing you see in stores or why the bread and milk are so far away? Supermarkets spend millions of dollars researching consumer (消费者) behaviour in order to develop ways to make you buy more in their stores.CHOICE magazine takes a look at some of the more common tricks to help you avoid spending more money next time you go shopping.Experts (专家) say turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand.Dr Paul Harrison, expert at Deakin University, says a store’s entry (入口) is not the only important point. “Research in the US has shown th at shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise (逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers.”Research made on shoppers’ in-store movements suggests people travel to some aisles (过道) only. The most common trip to travel in stores is around the outside circle, walking in and out of the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.When you enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shopping area. Although it’s not wise to first put fruits and vegetables into your shopping basket, this department is set to make the shoppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy. People who use the fresh food areas are also likely to spend more money in the store.By set ting up different “marketplace” areas, it feels as though we’ve visited several different stores where we can get everything we need rather than a single big shop. Each of these areas has different lighting and floor coverings. “It’s all about creating a market-like feel,” says Harrison. “Areas making and selling bread, apart from smelling good, give the impression that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘You can trust us because we make food.’”12. Why do people turn to the right when entering a shop?A. People are mostly right-handed.B. It’s easier for them to walk in a circle.C. Fresh food is often placed on the right.D. Shopping baskets are usually on the right.13. What does the research in the US find?A. Most shoppers walk anti-clockwise.B. Clockwise walkers are often big shoppers.C. A store’s entry is the most important point.D. Walking directions influence consuming behaviour.14. As for aisles, what do supermarket managers most care about?A. The ends.B. The middle.C. How long they are.D. How wide they are.15. What impression does a supermarket try to give shoppers by making each area different?A. It is fresh.B. It is healthy.C. It covers a big area.D. It offers a wide choice.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

More than two thousand metres above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish in an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexico city until 1846 when it was taken over by US troops.With a population of 48,953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers.

The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.Of course , as we know , dogs can be used to guard a house , and elephants can be used to do some heavy job. And we can also teach animals to work in factories.

It is important that we look after the Earth. We need it!The Earth gives us a lot of things. We also give the Earth a lot, but some of the things are not good.In nature, when something dies, other animals and plants get food from it. Every animal or plant gives food for other animals or plants. However, animals can’t get food from many of the things that we ‘give’ the Earth. Animals and plants can’t eat metal, plastic and glass. These things will stay in the ground for many, many years.Some rubbish is very dangerous for plantsand animals. In some places, many animals livetogether. One animal makes food for many moreanimals.

AMore than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme(主题) of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal(目标) to get children to eat right and keep moving.“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it's play. If you’re running around with your dog, you're getting exercise. If you w alk up the stairs, that's exercise, But if you’re sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you're not exercising.”The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt." And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more," she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite "splurge food" is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.“A lot of kids look up to(敬仰) athletes, and I think it's important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. "Kids aren’t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He's practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them--they can say to kids, 'If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”1.The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to_______ .A. help kids keep healthyB. train more young reportersC. encourage kids to eat more eggsD. invite kids to visit the White House2.“Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when__________ .A. you don' t hurt yourselfB. you have a special snackC. you never eat French friesD. you eat right and stay active3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. All kids want to be LeBron James.B. It is very easy to form good habits.C. Athletes can set a good example for kids.D. Kids like the messages the athletes give them.BMark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of (尽管) this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his pen-name.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother's tender care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all of his friends and neighbors. He didn't like to go to school, and he constantly ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi (密西西比河). He was nearly drowned (淹死) nine times.After his father's death in 1847, Mark twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing.

Afterwards he became a full-time writer.In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him a great fortune (财富).Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments (投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of their children passed away.At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties.

Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town----Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses toXiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness. In the west we seem to lack the foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.12. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "alien"?A. Unfriendly.B. Familiar.C. Strange.D. Attractive.13. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. The author doubted the so-called policeman.B. The third man could speak English fluently.C. The author followed a student to another bus station.D. A police car took the un-uniformed policeman away.14. Why did the un-uniformed policeman disappear after the author got off the bus?A. He hurried to buy a ticket for the author.B. He went to get a car to pick the author up.C. The author didn't behave in a friendly way.D. The author found a uniformed policeman to help him.15. According to the text, what impressed the author deeply in China?A. Beautiful scenes.B. Terrible transportation.C. Troubles in small towns.D. People's kindness.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一卷第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；，每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman sending milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a sending and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he sent more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next sending”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically（魔术般）appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk sending today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often ,my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk. 1．Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer .A.to show his magical powerB.to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD.to please his mother2．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A.He wanted to have tea there.B.He was a respectable person.C.He was treated as a family member.D.He was fully trusted by the family.3．Why does home milk sending no longer exist?A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B.It has been driven out of the market.C.Its service is getting poor.D.It is forbidden by law.4．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A.He missed the good old days.B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.C.He needed it for his milk bottles.D.He planted flowers in it.BPop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商业) music. It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock-n-roll”; another was “blues”. A more recent development is “folk-rock”. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. It’s a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.5. All of the following forms belong to pop music EXCEPT __________________.A. bluesB. rock-n-rollC. jazzD. folk-rock6. According to the article, the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was ___________ it is today.A. much greater thanB. much smaller thanC. as great asD. as small as7. Which of the following is TRUE?A. No pop music is on a high musical level.B. Much pop music is very artistic.C. Pop music is highly artistic.D. Not all pop music is without artistic value.8. “It is a big industry” means that _______________.A. it makes a lot of musical instruments (乐器)B. it is a big musical and commercial businessC. the pop singers are very hard-workingD. pop music is on a very high musical levelCModern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its own advantages. For example, you can see the country you are traveling through. Besides, modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable and comfortable.Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.9. From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is ______.A. by carB. by trainC. by airD. by sea10. If we travel by car, we can ______.A. make the longest journey enjoyableB. make our own timetableC. travel to a very far place in several minutesD. travel only fifty or one hundred miles a day11.

More than two thousand metres above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish in an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexico city until 1846 when it was taken over by US troops.With a population of 48,953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a large income to the city every year.

My good friend is Diana . she is a rich and proud girl . She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.After a few days, I went to see Diana for some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless."Never mind," Vivien said, "I'm used to it."After school, I tried to catch up With Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she would not listen to me. She said, "Go and join your 'dear' Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones."For the next few weeks, we did not talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, "I'm really sorry about what I did. I'm a spoiled (宠坏的) girl, but I also need good friends just like you. Would you please forgive (原谅) me?" Vivien and I looked at each other and smiled.

The reading is mainly about ______.A. the mistake among the three friendsB. three friends at a schoolC. two best friends at a schoolD. the trouble between Diana and VivienBWelcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you’re not afraid. You’re just out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, there’s nothing out here but some rocks.Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt.So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人).Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong.Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water —leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all.6. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.A. angerB. fearC. surpriseD. excitement7. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____.A. the iceB. animalsC. aliensD. the wind8. What did Ralph Lorenz find?A. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn’t move by themselves.C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.D. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.CHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time when more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, some are turning to fairy tales (童话).It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the stories, they learn to care about others' feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl, who insists she is a princess, is given a difficult test by the Queen. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio, a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.Teaching values is the reason most often given for encouraging children to read stories. These fairy tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that are accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.9. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.D. They can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.10. The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children _____.A. are given a difficult testB. are going to lie to their parentsC. wish to be a princess or princeD. make friends with foreigners11. The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. introduce some fairy talesB. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesC. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. talk about the history of fairy talesDSequoyah was born in the 1770s and grew up in the Cherokee village of Tuskeegee, Tennessee. He was skilled at working with silver jewelry (首饰). One day Sequoyah was advised to put his name on the silver jewelry he made. However, he could not write his name because Cherokee was only a spoken language. Sequoyah decided to learn how to write his name, so he asked one of his customers (顾客) to teach him, who knew English very well. From that time on, Sequoyah signed (签名) his work in English.Then Sequoyah realized that a written language was necessary for his people. In 1809, he started by making small drawings, and then he experimented with creating a letter for each sound in the Cherokee language. First, Sequoyah picked out all the sounds in the Cherokee language. Then he gave each sound a symbol. Unlike English, however, no two sounds shared the same symbol.Sequoyah's work was difficult and took him a lot of time. Worse, those around Sequoyah didn't understand what he was doing with all those strange symbols. Some raised doubts about his work. However, Sequoyah didn't stop working. In 1821, Sequoyah completed his alphabet (字母表). Each symbol in the alphabet symbolized one of the eighty-five sounds in the Cherokee language. By saying the name of each symbol, a person could read the spoken word.Sequoyah taught the symbols to his six-year-old daughter, Ayoka. One day, they went to visit the elders of the Cherokee Nation. Sequoyah asked Ayoka to leave while he wrote down what the elders said. When Ayoka returned, she read out loud what Sequoyah had written. The elders were stunned. Ayoka was able to repeat their words without being present! Sequoyah's alphabet was soon accepted as the written language of the Cherokee Nation.12. Sequoyah learned to sign his work _____.A. so that he would become famousB. when he moved to a Cherokee villageC. with the help of one of his customersD. in order to save the Cherokee language13. What can we learn about Sequoyah's alphabet?A. It was the same as the English alphabet at first.B. It uses at least two letters to symbolize a sound.C. It was created in the early eighteenth century.D. It is made up of eighty-five letters.14. The underlined wo rd “stunned” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.A. surprisedB. thankfulC. regretfulD. worried15. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Cherokee NationB. A gift beyond priceC. A popular languageD.

（每小题2分，共30分）AWill it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.1. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.A. no breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. little food for breakfastD. different breakfast or none2. The results of the test show that ________.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person's workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast3. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.A. lose weightB. not lose weightC. be healthierD. gain a lot of weight4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B. Morning diet may not cause one to get fatter.C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.D. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.BA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus.

Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior（行为）, "said a middle-aged man.“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. “That's right," another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please?

AMore than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme(主题) of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” pr ogram to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal(目标) to get children to eat right and keep moving.“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meal s, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it's play. If you’re running around with your dog, you're getting exercise.

Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town----Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed himanyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness. In the west we seem to lack the foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.12. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "alien"?A. Unfriendly.B. Familiar.C. Strange.D. Attractive.13. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.

He went to get a car to pick the author up.C. The author didn't behave in a friendly way.D. The author found a uniformed policeman to help him.15. According to the text, what impressed the author deeply in China?A. Beautiful scenes.B. Terrible transportation.C. Troubles in small towns.D.

甘肃高一高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解E AND EAT HEREWang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again!Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The competition between the two restaurants was on!【1】Something terrible must have happened to Wang Peng’ restaurant because ________.A．he didn’t got up early and prepared his menu.B．he served too much fat and oil in his foodC．the food in Yong Hui’s restaurant is more deliciousD．Lao Li didn’t go into his restaurant【2】The strength of the diet in Wang Peng’s restaurant was that it provided _______.A．barbecued mutton and roast porkB．stir-fried vegetables and fried riceC．sugary cold cola and ice creamD．more energy-giving food【3】The underlined sentence may have the same meaning as ________.A．Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people without being discovered.B．Wang Peng could allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people.C．Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people and got away.D．Wang Peng could not have Yong Hui telling lies, then getting away with people.【4】From paragraph 4 we can know that Wang Peng ______.A．was hard working because went to study in the libraryB．tried to get himself to be more learned(博学的)C．wanted to study the differences between the food that served in his restaurant and Yong Hui’sD．just searched for a better menu【5】Why did Wang Peng feel more hopeful as he drove back home after he came out of the library?

He eats like a wolf.OWNER: We'll see if he's clever as a wolf, eh?HENRY: (having just finished every bit of food) Ah, waiter. (waiter returns) Same thing again, please. Oh, and another beer.WAITER: Again? Everything?HENRY: Yes, that's right. (sees the look on the waiter's face) Anything wrong?WAITER: No, not at all.

I simply don't know.OWNER: Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had issued two notes in this amount ... Anyway, I don't think it can be a fake. People would pay too much attention to a bank note of this amount. No thief would want that to happen.HOSTESS: But he's in rags!OWNER: Perhaps he's a very strange, rich man. (as if he has discovered something for the first time) Why, yes! That must be it!HOSTESS: (hits her husband's arm) And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go and see him at once. OWNER: (to Henry) I'm so sorry, sir, so sorry, but I cannot change this bank note.HENRY: But it's all I have on me.OWNER: Oh, please, don't worry, sir. Doesn't matter at all. We're so very glad that you even entered our little eating place. Indeed, sir, I hope you'll come here whenever you like.HENRY: Well, that's very kind of you.OWNER: Kind, sir? No, it's kind of you. You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit here is a great honour! As for the bill, sir, please forget it.HENRY: Forget it? Well ... thank you very much.

He was going to take them to catch ‘The True North’, the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he told th em, ‘You’re going to see great scenery on your trip. Canada is bigger than the United States. It is second biggest country in the world and as you go eastward, you will see mountains and pass thousands of lakes, forests and wide rivers as well as cities. The idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days is just wrong. It is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you are in the warmest part of Canada.

第一卷第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；，每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman sending milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a sending and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he sent more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next sending”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically（魔术般）appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk sending today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often ,my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk. 1．Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer .A.to show his magical powerB.to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD.to please his mother2．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A.He wanted to have tea there.B.He was a respectable person.C.He was treated as a family member.D.He was fully trusted by the family.3．Why does home milk sending no longer exist?A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B.It has been driven out of the market.C.Its service is getting poor.D.It is forbidden by law.4．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A.He missed the good old days.B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.C.He needed it for his milk bottles.D.He planted flowers in it.BPop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商业) music. It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock-n-roll”; another was “blues”. A more recent development is “folk-rock”. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. It’s a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.5. All of the following forms belong to pop music EXCEPT __________________.A. bluesB. rock-n-rollC. jazzD. folk-rock6. According to the article, the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was ___________ it is today.A. much greater thanB. much smaller thanC. as great asD. as small as7. Which of the following is TRUE?A. No pop music is on a high musical level.B. Much pop music is very artistic.C. Pop music is highly artistic.D.
