However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II.试卷第2页，共10页Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground. 1、The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because . A ．they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB ．they believed disease could be spread in public bathsC ．they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inD ．they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease2、Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing? A ．Approving B ．Afraid C ．Curious D ．Uninterested3、How does the passage mainly develop? A ．By providing examples B ．By making comparisonsC ．By following the order of importanceD ．By following the order of time4、What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A ．To stress the role of dirtB ．To present the change of views on dirtC ．To introduce the history of dirtD ．To call attention to the danger of dirtWhen was the last time you relied on an old-fashioned map to figure out the route to an unfamiliar place? For many, the GPS has revolutionized navigation, making a paper map almost obsolete? So how has this piece of technology developed over its 26 years of existence? On February 14,1989,the first satellite in the US Global Positioning System was sent into space from Cape Canaveral, beginning the start of one of the wonders of the modern world. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is made of a network of around 30 satellites that move around the earth. The system uses a process called trilateration to find out one’sposition. By measuring the time it takes for the signal to reach one satellite, the GPS can determine your distance from the satellite, creating a sphere(范围) of possible locations. Measuring your distance from at least three satellites will narrow your location to the place where the three spheres cross one another, to the accuracy(精确) of about less than 1 meter! The GPS was first invented during the Cold War by the United States Department of Defense. In 1960, the first system, which was made of just five satellites, was put into place. It was initially created for strictly military(军事的) use; however, in 1983, as a result of faulty navigation technology, a Korean passenger plane mistakenly flew into USSR territory(苏联领土) and was shot down. In order to prevent such bad events, American President Ronald Reagan allowed civilian(民用的) use of the GPS.Over the next ten years, the system’s accur acy improved as the network was increased to 24 satellites. And during the first Persian Gulf War, the new GPS was finally used by the military. Now scientists use the technology to track animals to better understand their movement and behavior. Parents who may be worried about their children can also use GPS technology to track them.5、The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “”. A．priceless B．unusualC．perfect D．useless6、The second paragraph is mainly about .A．how the GPS works B．the history of the GPS C．the applications of the GPS D．some problems with theGPS7、According to the text, the GPS .A．has a history of over 100 yearsB．became popular during the Cold WarC．relies on the satellites circling the earthD．was available first during space exploration8、What does the author think of the GPS?A．It is not always reliableB．It has a lot of uses in many fieldsC．It makes our life more peacefulD．It will soon go out of fashion试卷第4页，共10页Four days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack . Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?” “Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.” The staff member’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad. Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing(搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace o f mind.9、After the author’s father survived the heart attack, he . A ．no longer wanted to live B ．was left alone to get full restC．ignored everyone who visited himD．became unpleasant toward other people10、Why did the author take the pointer home?A．It was a type that is known for its friendlinessB．Its eyes made her think it was the best dog availableC．It caught her attention right away and she didn’t want it to be killedD．It was good at getting people’s attention and entertaining them11、From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that .A．more attention should be given to old peopleB．dogs are so loyal that they usually die for their friendsC．the author’s father and Cheyenne formed a real connectionD．friendship and care is much more efficient than the medicine12、Which section of a newspaper is the source of the passage?A．Health B．EntertainmentC．Education D．FriendsThe world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means.

Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place.

I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing(搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind.4.After the author’s father survived the heart attack, he .A. no longer wanted to liveB. was left alone to get full restC. ignored everyone who visited himD. became unpleasant toward other people5.Why did the author take the pointer home?A.

HealthB. EntertainmentC. EducationD. FriendsCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play inthe dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.8.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsC. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease9.Which of the fo llowing best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. ApprovingB. AfraidC. CuriousD. Uninterested10.How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examplesB. By making comparisonsC. By following the order of importanceD. By following the order of time11.W hat is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirtB. To present the change of views on dirtC.To introduce the history of dirtD. To call attention to the danger of dirtDWhen was the last time you relied on an old-fashioned map to figure out the route to an unfamiliar place? For many, the GPS has revolutionized navigation, making a paper map almost obsolete? So how has this piece of technology developed over its 26 years of existence? On February 14,1989,the first satellite in the US Global Positioning System was sent into space from Cape Canaveral, beginning the start of one of the wonders of the modern world.GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is made of a network of around 30 satellites that move around the earth. The system uses a process called trilateration to find out one’s position. By measuring the time it takes for the signal to reach one satellite, the GPS can determine your distance from the satellite, creating a sphere(范围) of possible locations. Measuring your distance from at least three satellites will narrow your location to the place where the three spheres cross one another, to the accuracy(精确) of about less than 1 meter!The GPS was first invented during the Cold War by the United States Department of Defense. In 1960, the first system, which was made of just five satellites, was put into place. It was initially created for strictly military(军事的) use; however, in 1983, as a result of faulty navigation technology, a Korean passenger plane mistakenly flew into USSR territory(苏联领土) and was shot down. In order to prevent such bad events, American President Ronald Reagan allowed civilian(民用的) use of the GPS.Over the next ten years, the system’s accuracy improved as the network was increased to 24satellites. And during the first Persian Gulf War, the new GPS was finally used by the military. Now scientists use the technology to track animals to better understand their movement and behavior. Parents who may be worried about their children can also use GPS technology to track them.12.The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “”.A. pricelessB. unusualC. perfectD. useless13.The second paragraph is mainly about .A. how the GPS worksB. the history of the GPSC. the applications of the GPSD. some problems with the GPS14.According to the text, the GPS .A. has a history of over 100 yearsB. became popular during the Cold WarC. relies on the satellites circling the earthD. was available first during space exploration15.What does the author think of the GPS?A. It is not always reliableB. It has a lot of uses in many fieldsC. It makes our life more peacefulD. It will soon go out of fashion 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。

AThe private automobile （私家车） has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected in various ways, The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims (受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies (悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formeda similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.21. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.22. What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?A. Patents have paid more attention to their children.B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.23. We can infer from the text that ____________ in America.A. it will be more difficult for people to get new carsB. parents will not allow their children to have their own carsC. the government will encourage people to use public transportationD. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problemsBThe impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don’t.Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part。

Four Books That Will Interest You to Travel the WorldThere’s truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining life experience. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chiris Schlep to help us come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will interest you to travel the world.SEATTLE: Where You’d Go, Bernadette? By Maria SampleMaria Sample’s first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the amusing incidents. Buy it on Amazon. price: $26.60.ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary MantelYou can’t travel to Thomas Cromwell’s England without a time machine, but reading Hilary Mantel’s prize-winning novel is the next best thing.

Buy it on Amazon. price$25.10.NANTUCKET: Here’s to Us by Eli HildebrandEli Hildebrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket.

Buy it on Amazon. price: $30.80.ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess WalterThis book by the popular author Jess Walters is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood.

Its content about loveB. Its plot and laughsC. Its charactersD. Its low price22. Which book has been made into a film according to the next?A. Beautiful RuinsB. Wolf HallC. Here’s to UsD. Where You’d Go, Bernadette23. What is the common point about the four books?A. Its priceB. Its authorC. Its contentD. Its sales placeAre you so sure your mistakes are just mistakes? Or could they be building blocks to a success beyond any you imagined?When my friend Dorothy goes home to visit her family each Thanksgiving, her mother serves the traditional “mistake salad”. The dish was born many years ago. Dorothy explains, when mother was using a cookbook to make a salad. In the process, mother accidentally included half the salad ingredients(原料)from a recipe(食谱)on the left side of the open cookbook, and half the ingredients from a different salad recipe on the opposite page. Everyone enjoyed the salad so much that she continue to serve it every year. So it was really not a mistake at all.Then there was the fellow named Alfred, who invented dynamite(炸药). When Alfred’s brother died, the city newspaper confused the two and printed an abituary(讣告)saying that the dead’s most notable act was the creation of bombs. Surprised to consider that his name would forever be connected with destruction, Alfred sought to leave a more positive fame to humanity. So he set a prize for people who contributed to world peace. Now the Nobel Prize, established by Alfred Nobel, is the most respected award in the world.Everything is part of something bigger, and mistakes are no exception. In his brilliant book Illusions, Richard Bach explains that every problem comes to you with a gift. If you focus only on what went wrong, you miss the gift. If you are willing to look deeper and ask for the bright, the problem will disappear. You are left only with the learning, and you go forward on your path.24.

A student who is afraid of making mistakesD. A writer who is a good friend of Richard BachMariah, 35, was a single mother. She had four kids under the age 9, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra weekend hours as a waitress. There were times when she lay in bed and cried. She didn’t know how she could pay that bill. But she knew she must find a way to change her life.She knew how hard it was to mop(拖)the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water and wringing (拧)out a mop,”Mariah says. “So, I got a better way.”How about a “self-wringing”mop? She designed a special tool. You could twist in two directions and still keep your hands clean and dry.She set out to sell her mops, but the mops didn’t sell well at the market. Then Mariah met with the media. But would people buy a mop by reading an advertisement? They gave it a try, and it failed. Mariah was sure it would sell well if they let her do the on-camera show. “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great thing,”said Mariah. So QVC let her have a try. “I got on the stage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”Today Mariah is the president of Ingenious designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about hr household inventions is as natural for her it is for parents to talk about their child.Today one of her favorite products is Huggable Hangers(衣架).

It is mankind’s duty and important to treat animals kindly in a civilized society.”As China’s population becomes richer, pet ownership has increased rapidly, but problems, such as pet abandonment and cruelty, are also growing.In recent years, more and more adoption events have taken place all over the country, which indicates an awakening of the Chinese public consciousness to animal protection.“Adopting a pet instead of buying one has been gaining a wider acceptance.”American Edward Dumpe, who has been working on designs for stray animal shelters in Beijing, said, “It surely sounds super sweet and I have no doubt that it must have been the result of great efforts.”“I think it is a good step in the right direction, and should be taken as evidence that Chinese society is becoming more aware of stray animals who should be taken care of and treated with respect.”In real life, “Rabbit-eating Carrot”is fashion designer who has created clothes embroidered(刺绣)with slogans(口号)such has “Please adopt a pet”and images of her cats, with all earnings going to the Qiming Small Animal Protection Center in Sichuan Province.“I didn’t know that there were events like this in China.

Perhaps you write your letters too small. Check on spacing of letters and words, and proper formation of letters. If your letters are small, put more effort into writing larger letters. If certain letters trip you up, practice those letters separately and within words.Write CorrectlyPositioning and technique play a role in how your handwriting looks. Hold the pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers. Hold it firmly enough to control the tip but not so hard that it hurts your fingers. Lighter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation. 38 ___39Letters are formed from several basic strokes(笔划). Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used to forming them. Strokes found in letters include vertical lines, horizontal lines, and circles. Build on those to practice specific letters.Write for a PurposeTeach young children handwriting in meaningful contexts. Use that same idea by picking up a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing. Keep a journal daily with slow, correct strokes. 40 These true and sincere writing opportunities make the practice meaningful.A. Build on Basics.B. Practice makes perfectC. Focus on improving your correctness instead of speedD. Writing at a slower speed also helps you focus on letter formationE. Put a handwritten letter in the mail to surprise a friend or a relativeF. Handwriting requires your brain, eyes and hands to work together to form letters.G. Before you can improve your handwriting, you need to know where you’re falling apart.It had been a tiring journey.

It seems like a perfect solution 61 China’s heavy traffic. 62 some local authorities(权威人士)say the bikes have become a nuisance and one Shanghai district hasconfiscated(没收)almost 5,000 bikes. The unregulated parking has caused continuous problems and 63 (complain). Traffic police had confiscated the bikes because they had been 64 (legal)parked.Shanghai is the world’s largest bikeshare city with 280,000 shared bikes citywide. That number is expected 65 (jump)to 500,000 by this June, according to Guo Jianrong, Secretary General of Shanghai Bicycle Association.Until the turn of the century, bikes were the main form of transport in Chinese cities.

As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, washing machine and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished(惩罚) for it. After he came out of lockup(拘留所), he hated her very much ，and beat her so the woman had to leave him.It was New Year’s Day. Mr. Lang didn’t go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn’t think the police would come and began to gamble.

We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.8.
