He developed his love of cigars when he traveled to Cuba as a young man. Later in his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day.

He directly walked into the way of the car. Churchill got hurt seriously on his chest and shoulder. He said he was directly responsible for the accident, telling the police that the driver made no mistake and to let him go.After that, he was just not allowed to drink alcohol (酒). Churchill managed to talk with his doctor by writing a note which read “It is necessary for Winston Churchill to use the alcohol after this accident, especially at meal times”.69.

What a colour may symbolize to a person of the west may be very different to someone in the east. Here are some colours and what they represent to various people of the world.Red is the favourite colour of brides in Vietnam. In this country, red represents fortune, success, and good luck. In China red is a symbol of luck and is used for many celebrations such as weddings and at the beginning of the new year. In India red is a symbol of purity and commitment, and it is used in wedding clothing. In the United States red represents love and is used during Christmas andValentine's Day. Red also denotes speed and power in the west, which is why it is a popular colour for race cars and toy rockets.To the Japanese，Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans，white symbolizes death and mourning. To people of India and in the west, white is a colour of purity.Purple has long been considered the colour of royalty to westerners, probably because only the very rich could afford purple dye(染料) in ancient times. In Thailand, widows wear purple to show they're in mourning. To many Italian performers, purple is a colour of bad fortune, and they often do not wear these colours in front of an audience.In Paris, all garbage collectors are clothed in green, drive green trucks and dispose of waste in green bins. In many parts of the world, green has become a symbol of kindness to the earth.56. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?57. Why is red a popular colour for race cars and toy rockets in the west?A. Because westerners like red.B. Because red represents speed and power .C. Because red represents fortune, success, and good luck.D. Because red is the most suitable colour for cars.58. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 4?A. 王室成员B. 穷人C. 老百姓D. 艺术家59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. White symbolizes death and mourning in Japan, China and Thailand.B. In Paris, only garbage bins are green.C. Red has the same meaning in Vietnam and China.D. Italian performers prefer to wear purple when they give performances.60. In which part of a magazine can we read this passage?A. Music.B. Culture.C. Life.D. Environment.BSummer Programs at Museums.61. When can you join in the programs at the Postal Museum?A. Any day from July 17 to 23.B. Any day from July 29 to 30.C. Any day from August 7 to 20.D. Any day from August 21 to 27.62. Which number can you phone if you are interested in the program about video art?A. 965­0400.B. 654­0930.C. 357­3030.D. 272­0560.63.

In the Air and Space Museum, you can____.A. create a stampB. build a houseC. make a paper airplaneD. explore a future cityCHave you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？People use this eething that they do not do very often. For eeone might say that he tries to avoid (避免) eating sweets because they are unhealthy，but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon”. While many people use this phrase，not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an eoon” has to do with the shape of the moon，not the color.As the moon travels around the earth，it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For eall part of the moon，it is called a crescent moon(新月). A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip (尖端) of a fingernail (指甲). When we cannot see the moon at all，it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon，it is called a full moon. Usually，there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes，however，there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens，the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.Over the next 20 years，there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see，a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the eoon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.66. Which of the following would be a good example of using thephrase “once in a blue moon”？A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do e does eoon.C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shoppingonce in a blue moon.D. Cindy hates to stay up，but she stays up every day. Cindy staysup once in a blue moon.67. Which of the following is another eething that has a crescentshape?A. The letter “O”.B. The letter “M”.C. The letter “H”.D. The letter “C”.68. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?A. Once a year.B. Less than once a year.C. More than once a year.D. At least twice a year.69. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to(所指)?A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape.C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.DDo you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫)，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters.This is because they have the colours much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of black liquid when they face danger. The liquid spreads over quickly, so they cannot be found by their enemies and can quickly swim away. That is why they can live safely though they aren't strong at all.70. From the passage we can learn that locusts____.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colours to protect themselves71. How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?A. They run away quickly.B. They have the colours much like their enemies.C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night.D. They have to move quietly.72. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colours for Animals and PestsB. Colours of Different Animals and PestsC. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and PestsD. Some Animals and PestsE阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。

Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches (拱形门) of McDonald's, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn't had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn't look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Tak e language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed (沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you everthought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people's attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning; as a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people's appetite(胃口). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people's spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colours, is said to lower people's appetite because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green, ” said Violet, Amber's best friend.“Nothing…just feeling…blue, ” said Amber.“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A wii! It's red-hot.”Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the wii and said, “Sounds great! ”21. According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.A. putting your food in a blue dish or bowlB. turning on a yellow light during the mealC. painting the walls of the dining room whiteD. covering the dining table with an orange cloth22. Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.A. it tells other drivers to prepare to stopB. it helps bus drivers stay in a good moodC. it can easily catch other people's attentionD. it is the colour that most schoolchildren like23. Which of the following statements is true?A. Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first.B. Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.C. Amber refused to go to Violet's house in the end.D. Amber didn't catch the school bus and was late for school.24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Colours influence people's daily lives.B. Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.C. Different colours are used for different purposes.D. Colours make daily conversations more interesting.25. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A. Amber was not fat at all.B. Amber cheered up at Violet's invitation at last.C. Violet didn't know how colours influenced our lives.D. Arches of McDonald's are painted gold only to make them beautiful.四、词汇运用(每小题2分, 共10分)根据首字母或汉语提示完成句子26. Have you made a ________ (决定) to go on a vacation?27.

It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the colour of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had noexperience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命) is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号) to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成) to continue with a project.6．A new soldier was called a greenhorn in the ________ century.A．15th B．16th C．18th D．20th7．A person with a green thumb________.A．is good at growing plants B．really has a green thumbC．has no experience in war D．is new in a job8．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ________．A．he sees a dangerous animal B．he can't get somethingC．he reads a sad play D．his friend gets a prize that he wants9．This passage doesn't mention the history of the expression “________”．A．a green thumb B．a greenhorn C．the green-eyed monster D．a green light10．Which would be the best title of the passage?A．Green, the colour of grass and trees B．The stories about the colour “green”C．Green, a sign of approval D．Different meanings of “green”CThe world around us is full of colours—the grass is green, and the sky is blue. What a pity it will be if people can not see the colours. But there are people who are blind to certain colours.Human colour__blindness is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. They help us to see in bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” which are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us the shape but not the colour.Some birds and other animals' eyes have few or no cones, so they cannot see colours. Catsand dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Some insects(昆虫) can even see X－rays. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but we cannot see.Human beings have their favourite colours. Blue is often popular because it is the colour of the sky and sea. Green is the colour which makes us think of grass, field and forest. Yellow is the colour of the sun. Red is the colour of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents, danger and blood. Black is the colour of the night. In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a colour.( )1.
