(8分)阅读理解One story about Jack, an Irishman(爱尔兰人), who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy (吝啬) with his money. So he was sent to hell地狱. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan) (魔鬼撒旦), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip(萝卜), hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla(督伊德神). The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary(小学校) school. Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. we went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!"The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment(评价) on our costumes. Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away?Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off.No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.(1)Why wasn't Jack allowed into Heaven?A . Because he made lots of bad things.B . Because he hurt God.C . Because he was selfish and not generous.D . Because he didn't like Heaven.(2)What did Irish children make Jack's lanterns from?A . A large potato or pumpkin.B . A large potato or turnip.C . A large turnip or pumpkin.D . A large turnip or orange.(3)What did we say when we came to neighbors' houses at Halloween?A . "Trick or treat!"B . “Good evening!”C . “Nice to meet you!"D . “I beg you!”(4)How neighbors deal with us?A . They invited us to their house and treat us.B . They always asked us to go away quickly.C . They always called our parents and tell them what had happened.D . They gave us some candy or an apple.23.

(10分)If you go to Finland, you’ll be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high class Benz with a fare (票价) of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then get off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of worry.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends and dine free of charge.With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “pretty advantages”. But the strange things is, all the taxi-passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. As the Finns always act on good faith and always show an attitude of “which is which” and “what is what” in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to take precautions (预防措施) against others?(1)The word “foolish” probably means _____________.A . friendlyB . carefulC . strangeD . funny(2)Why wouldn’t the d river show the least sign of worry? Because _________.A . he is sure that the passengers always act on good faithB . he is afraid to make the passengers angry and unhappyC . he thinks the passengers may be too poor to pay himD . he is sure that the passengers are really in trouble(3)The dining rooms in all big hotels ___________.A . check the guests’ registration card carefullyB . give people meals without payingC . serve their guests free of chargeD . only serve their guests free breakfast(4)What’s FALSE according to the passage?A . No one takes advantages although there are many loopholes.B . All the taxi-passengers come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business.C . Not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.D . Finland is heaven for immoral people because they can always take advantages freely.(5)The sentences “which is which” and “what is what” show that __________.A . the Finns are foolishB . the Finns take things seriouslyC . the Finns are busy making money for the familyD . the Finns never take precaution against others19. (10分) Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses (吻). So, I really doubt (怀疑) whether (是否) there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money to pay the schooling for me. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV, and sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even impossible.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was love between them. She stopped her work and looked up with surprise. Then she bowed (弯下) her head and continued sewing the quilt.I was very worried because I thought I hurt her. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly (几乎不) be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next spring.My mother suddenly got sick seriously and had to stay in the hospital for a one-month treatment. Every morning and dusk (黄昏) after she returned from the hospital, my father helped my mother walk slowly on the country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone them through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they loved each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love was just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.(1)The writer thought his parents' life was not .A . romanticB . greatC . meaningfulD . true(2)Valentine's Day may be a day for .A . parentsB . loversC . classmatesD . friends(3)What do the sentences in the third paragraph show?A . There is beautiful scenery (风景) everywhere in the world.B . There is true life anywhere in the world.C . There is no love without beautiful flowers.D . There is really love between the writer’s parents.(4)What is the best title of this passage?A . Love should appear every day.B . Love means flowers.C . Love is just the thread of a quiltD . True love.(5)The writer did not understand their parents' love until________.A . the next summerB . his mother was deadC . his mother was seriously illD . he himself grew up四、任务型阅读 (共1题;共1分)20.

(共4题;共35分)1. (10分)阅读理解The best known building in Washington D.C. is the White House, home of American presidents since 1800. The U.S. president works here, in the “Oval Office”, but the White House is also a family home.The wife of John Adams, the second U. S. president, used to dry her wet clothes in the East Room. President Truman had a piano next to his desk and President Kennedy's children used to play under his office windows.Next well-known building is the Capitol. The 535 members of Congress meet here to discuss the nation's business. It is easy to get lost in this huge building, full of paintings and statues.From the Capitol there is a great view down the grassy Mall, and across a pool of water to the Lincoln Memorial (in memory of the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln). It looks like a beautiful garden, but you need a good pair of shoes because it is, in fact, a long long way.Most people know about the government buildings of Washington D. C. However, there are also some important museums. You can see all kinds of things. These include spaceships, the dresses of presidents' wives, the largest blue diamond in the world, and the biggest elephant on record (filled with enough materials, of course).(1)The best title of the passage is ______.A .

Listen to English as much as possible. You can learn a poem(诗) or a song by heart. You can also learn more dialogues(对话). And practice speaking with your friends as much as you can.Many people find it difficult to listen to English. The answer is to listen as much as you can. However, don’t do too much at one time. It is better to practice listening for five min utes every day. Don’t sit down and listen for an hour at a time. That’s too much! Do choose listening passages that are interesting and not too difficult. Choose(选择) tapes(磁带) on which the people speak clearly and not too fast. Take it easy, at first. Success with simple tapes at the beginning is the answer. Later on you can practice with tapes that are more difficult.Finally, how can you learn to write well? How do you use little words like in, on, of and for? There are two answers to this. First, do some study with new words. Keep a list of verbs like look for, look after and so on. Second, read as much English as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly(正确地) yourself. So, in order to write well, you must first learn to read much.(1)This passage is about English ______ .A . spelling, listening, grammar and readingB . listening, speaking, reading and writingC . taking exams, pronunciation, reading and writingD . pronunciation, reading, listening and writing(2)If you ______ , you can speak well.A . learn more dialoguesB . learn a poem or a song by heartC . practice speaking with your friends as much as you canD . all above(3)Which of the following is right according to the passage?A .

Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.Zoos Do a Good JobIt is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points.Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry.Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of being extinct. But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there'd be fewer kinds of animals in the world.Maria SmithZoos Are UnnaturalIn Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.It is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that we treat other people--with respect.Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it either.Philip Black71. Maria and Philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.72. In Maria's opinion, a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.73. Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.74. According to Philip, cages are not big enough, so tigers and bears look unhappy.75. Philip thinks that zoos don't give the animals food regularly so it is not natural.76. Mafia and Philip both agree that zoos are good for people.77. In the two letters, they are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.B. Choose the best answer: 7'EarthquakeEvery 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people.Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safely in an earthquake.If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run to outside and rush for exits. Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you.When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up.If you are at home and you smell gas, open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.WeatherDifferent weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it's hot and wet in the southern part of the USA. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the middle-west, it is very hot sometimes and very cold sometimes. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists showed that the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. Thewind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But big people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is "good weather" for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.Are you feeling sad, tired or forgetful today? It may be the weather's fault.78. Most earthquakes are too __________ to hurt people.A. strongB. weakC. dangerousD. heavy79.

Her coffeehouse is called Serendipity. Until this fall, Serendipity was a comfortable place to drink coffee and chat with friends. That all changed when Klaus met Cameron Taylor. Taylor is a computer expert. He wanted to bring new technology to West Virginia.Klaus and Taylor decided to turn Serendipity into a cybercafé.

There are now over 1000 cybercafés in cities round the world.Serendipity's cybercafé has four new computers. Customers can use the computers to do many things. For example, they can write business reports, do homework, or play games. They can also use the computers to surf the Internet, send or receive email messages, and find entertainment information. They can do all of these things in the comfort of a coffeehouse atmosphere."We are a favourite place for young professionals and students," Klaus said. "You see lots of people here with laptop computers. Computers and coffee cups, business and coffee beans. They just seem to go together.The cybercafé is also a favourite place for travelers. "Travelers can check their email, send business documents, communicate with their office, and have a cup of coffee at the same time.Adding a cybercafé is not the only change for the comfortable coffeehouse. In the future, Klaus and Taylor want to install video-conferencing equipment. With video-conferencing, customers can have face-to-face business meetings with people across the globe.Serendipity's future plans also include poetry readings on Thursday nights and musical events on Saturday nights.Lots of people seem to enjoy going to Serendipity's cybercafé.
