ATraveling to China is the dream of many people but it is important to be aware that the Chinese culture is different from Western cultures. So before arriving in China, make sure that you understand the Chinese traditions.The eldest comes firstIn China, it is a big deal to respect the eldest one in the family. The Chinese have a great respect for their parents and grandparents. So if you are introduced to someone in a place full of people, always address the oldest person first, and do the same when you are leaving.The host pays the billIf you are invited to a restaurant by your Chinese friends, be prepared to eat and drink for free. And if you invite them, also be ready to pay all the bill on your own. And it is not polite if you don’t offer to pay it in full if you are the host.Be aware of the chopsticks rulesBelieve it or not, there are several traditions and rules involving chopsticks in China. So never stick them straight up to your rice, never drum (敲打) them, or have them in your hands while making a gesture.Check if your gift isn’t on the bad-luck listIf you are offering a gift to a Chinese friend, be aware that there are many items considered to bring bad luck to them, such as clocks, umbrellas, scissors and knives. Presents should be given with both hands and never be wrapped in white.1.Who is the most respected in social life in China?A.A millionaire.B.A senior citizen.C.A wise man.D.A powerful leader.2.Which of the following is considered polite in China?A.Making a gesture by using chopsticks.B.Opening the gift as soon as you receive it.C.Offering to pay the meal in full if you are the host.D.Paying for the bill when you are invited to a dinner.3.Who are the potential target readers of the text?A.Restaurant staff.B.The assistants in the gift stores.

One day, I took a subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. What happened to me next on the subway has taught me much about culture difference.Since all the seats were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. Assuming I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone suspicious. My heart began to beat wildly and I began to panic.I looked around, only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to pull it up, she quickly took it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any notice of the situation. Trying not to cause a scene, I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as much as I could, but she ignored my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to help me.At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap. They didn’t talk; yet this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready toget off, the woman gently handed me back my bag. But before I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.4.What happened after the writer got on the subway?A.The writer’s bag was stolen by an elderly lady.B.The writer stood in someone’s way.C.An old lady asked the writer to sit beside her.D.A stranger offered help to the writer.5.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?A.Feel frightened.B.Feel grateful.C.Feel relaxed.D.Feel ashamed. 6.What can we infer from the writer’s experience?A.The middle-aged woman and the elderly woman were good friends.B.The passengers on the subway were very unfriendly.C.Helping standing passengers with heavy bags was common on local subways. D.There were many thieves on the subway.7.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To warn us of the potential risks in travelling abroad.B.To tell us a culture difference.C.To recommend a travel destination.D.To give us some tips on taking a subway.CImagine walking through an ancient city, then climbing a gate tower to take in a wonderful view of the city and its more than 600-year-old walls. You can hear the city’s heartbeat in the air. This is the Ancient City of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, a place that is most likely to be on your travel plan if you enjoy history or ancient architecture since its history can go back to more than 2,700 years ago.Situated in the center of Shanxi Province, Pingyao is the hometown of Jin businessmen. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the city’s agriculture and manufacturing (制造)industries developed rapidly. Following China’s reform and opening-up in the 1980s, Pingyao struggled with the change from amanaged economy to the market-oriented economy(市场经济). During this time, the city government identified new ways to break through this economic bottleneck.Finally in the winter of 1997, chances came knocking. Through the efforts of the city government, Pingyao earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, which caused the entire world to take notice of the city.Since the city’s fame has risen, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown. Meanwhile the city government has continued to upgrade itselfthrough a proposal that follows the centre of “entrepreneurship (创业), development and protection”.Recently, the city is focused on establishing a sustainable (可持续发展) industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world.8. What made Pingyao popular with tourists?A. Its view and fresh air.B. Its history and architecture.C. Its weather and traditions.D. Its tourist attractions and people.9. What does “chances came knocking” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The city's name was replaced.B. The economy of Ping Yao was rising.C. Ping Yao became known by the world.D. The architecture was rebuilt in the city.10. What measure is taken to further develop the city?A. Preserving more historical relics.B. Learning from other cities in the world.C. Connecting economy with cultural protection.D. Introducing more overseas industries to the city.11. How is the text developed?A. By giving examples.B. By raisingquestions.C. By listing reasons.D. By following time order.DThe Polish take great pride in their culture.Our culture has many different customs and traditions.I will discuss three of these traditions and customs.The Polish will say “Dziekuje” (“thank you”) only after receiving their change.What I mean by this is that when you are in Poland,you should wait to say “thank you” until after you have been given your change back.If you do not,you are telling cashiers (收银员) that they can “keep the change”.Often,people visiting Poland will feel that things are very expensive,until they learn that they are giving the store clerk permission to keep the money that would have been given back.Polish people break “bread” with their families during their Christmas Eve meal.The Christmas Eve celebration starts with the breaking of the Oplatek,which is a thin piece of “bread”.In my family,the eldest in the family (my grandfather) takes the big Oplatek and breaks it into large pieces that he then hands down to each of his four children (my aunt,uncles,and father).Then,these family members break their pieces into smaller sizes and pass them out to their own children.Once the last piece is passed down to the youngest,we say a prayer (祷告) and eat the piece of thin bread.Polish people celebrate “Imieniny”,or Name’s Day.This day is more important than one’s birthday.They often name their children after a saint (圣徒) whose day is closest to the date that they were born on.Then their saint’s day that they were named after becomes their “new” birthday.On Name’s Day,families and friends gather together and enjoy a variety of food,drinking,and dancing.As you can see,Poland has a few very unique (独特的) traditions and customs.I honor my Polish culture and will pass it on to my own children because it is important to know one’s own culture.12.In Poland,if you say “Dziekuje” before getting your change,___________ . A.the store clerk will keep itB.the product will be changedC.the store clerk will check the moneyD.the product will be returned to the store13.On Christmas Eve,the author will receive “bread” from ________ .A.his grandfather B.his uncleC.his aunt D.his father14.A Polish person’s Imieniny is________ .A.a day to visit families and friendsB.more important than Name’s DayC.near to his or her birthdayD.a day to honor a saint15.What does the author think of Polish traditions and customs?A.He feels proud of them.B.He shows no interest in them.C.He is worried about them.D.He considers them very funny.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

浙大附中丁兰2020学年第二学期高一英语限时练第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分第一节(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑In my hometown, Oklahoma, the dirt goes everywhere. When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we cover our mouths so we don’t breathe in the dirt. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After church, Papa went to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Faye and I played in the yard. Then the temperature suddenly dropped, and Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, real quick now!”I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. “Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted. “I will warn Papa.” Faye ran towa rd the house. The storm hit so fast that the day turned into night in an instant. Covering my face with one hand, I struggled my way toward our family car and got in. Papa was still out there! I needed to help him find the car. I turned on the front lights, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn(喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.Suddenly, to my great surprise and relief, Papa’s face appeared at the window. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. Af ter Papa shut off the car’s lights, we huddled together in the darkness for hours. I worried the dirt would bury us.Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. We got out and reached the front porch just as Mama and Faye came out from the house.“I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said. “The car’s horn led me to shelter.”“I’m so proud of you,” Mama said to me.Tears of joy streamed down my dirty cheeks because our family had survived the horrible storm.21. When the storm struck, Iris went to the car to_______.A. direct her papa to shelterB. turn to her papa for helpC. warn her papa of the stormD. pick up her papa in the field22. The underlined word “subsided” paragraph probably mean________.A. got upB. died downC. went onD. came along23. What is the best title for the text?A. Love for PapaB. Rescue on black SundayC. Drought in Oklahoma.D. Papa trapped in the stormBI’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to lik e them--to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact. Many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well-level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine mad woman on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t u p to his standards?24. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?A. He’s running his company.B. He’s playing golf all day.C. He’s looking for another job.D. He’s playing computer games.25. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.A. a dilemmaB. my real friendC. FacebookD. Twitter26. The text is developed mainly by________.A. giving examplesB. following the time orderC. listing figuresD. raising questionsCWriting articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had written for television. He employed me, but Tom was not primarily a reporter, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.At first, his idea was that team of critics(评论家) should take care of the art forms that didn’t require specialized(专业的) knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.Tom’s original plan for team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn’t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to connect a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom’s beginning push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write a weekly piece, usually on one film.This way of working suits me well. I wouldn’t have been interested in the more standard film critic’s role, which includes considering every film that comes out. That’s a routine(惯例)that would make me bored in no time at all. The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument——or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public scene? I think that people should choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. There is also such a thing as loyalty(忠诚) to “type” or its opposite. It can only rarely happen that someone who hates westerns buys a ticket for on after reading a review, or a love story addict avoids a romantic film because of what the papers say.So if a film review isn’t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don’t feel I have a responsibility to “right” about a movie. Nor do think there should be a certain number of “great” and “bad” films each year. All I have to do is put forward an argument. I’m not a judge, and nor would I want to be. 27. What can we learn about Tom Senton from the first paragraph?A. He encouraged the author to become a writer.B. He had worked in various media.C. He met the author when working for television.D. He prefers to employ people that he knows.28. Why were the weekly lunches planned?A. To help the writers get to know each other.B. To carry out the work that had to be done.C. To provide an informal information meeting.D. To entertain important visitors from the arts.29. What can be i nferred from paragraph 4 about the author’s articles?A. They are seldom read by readers.B. They are more persuasive than expected.C. They are ignored by stars and film directors.D. They have little effect on public viewing habits.30. What does the author think of his work?A. He should distinguish good films from bad ones.B. He prefers to write about film is he likes.C. He can freely express his opinions.D. He writes according to accepted rules. 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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

外研版⾼⼀英语必修⼀Module2检测试题及答案(2) 第⼆部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分) 第⼀节 (共20⼩题;每⼩题2分,共40分) A At noon I stopped at the traffic light and saw a homeless man walking up and down in the street. It was a hot day. “This will make him smile,” I thought. I turned my car towards a frozen yogurt (酸奶酪) shop. I took a cup and filled it and came to the counter to weigh it. I wanted to add some toppings, something delicious put on the top, but my change was not enough for that, so I asked the lady if she would take a $100 bill. She said she wasn’t allowed to accept a bill that large. So I just paid for the yogurt. As I was about to leave, she said, “Madam, don’t disappoint your child. Please add their favorite toppings.” I turned to her and said, “Thanks, but this is not for my child. It’s for the homeless man in the street.” She smiled with surprise and said, “Oh! That’s really sweet of you. God bless you.” She thought for a moment, and then she said, “I think we can do better than that.” She took a bigger cup, filled it nicely and covered it with colorful toppings. Then she handed it to me and said, “This is from me. Please give it to the homeless man. Let’s treat him nicely.” Now it was my turn to be surprised. I said, “Thanks a lot.” Then I left with a big smile on my face. On the way I said to myself, “Angels are real, aren’t they? I believe them because I saw one today!” 31. The author turned her car towards the shop in order to . A. buy herself a cup of frozen yogurt B. cool herself in the frozen yogurt shop C. ask someone there to change a $100 bill D. make the homeless man in the street happy 32 The lady in the shop at first thought that the author . A. bought something for her child B. was going to do a good deed C. didn’t need to add any toppings D. would be disappointed without toppings in her yogurt 33. We can learn from the passage that . A. the author got a lot of colorful toppings for free B. the author realized that the lady was very kind in the beginning C. the homeless man would probably receive two cups of yogurt D. the lady was so moved that she didn’t take the author’s money B “The British and Americans are two peoples separated by a common language.” — Oscar Wilde Though American English has become much different from British English, more and more British words and phrases are becoming common in American English. Here are some examples. Bloody If there is anything Americans like, it’s a good word to express their great anger. For example, “It’s bloody cold out there! What a bloody and costly failure!” Bloody is now well accepted by most Americans. It’s a way of swearing (咒骂) in America. Chat up The British expression “chat up” for flirting (搭讪) is much gentler than the American expression “hit on”. That may be why more Americans are using “chat up” especially when talking about their own actions. Ginger Before the first Harry Potter book came out, Americans only used the word ginger when referring to the spice (调味品). Ginger has almost always been a color as well as a spice for the British. Now more and more Americans are talking about “ginger cats” and “ginger hair”. Sell-by date More and more American members of the media are using this British term in place of the American term “expiration date” on which something, such as a license, is no longer in effect. American products are also using this term, which is a bit more descriptive than “expiration date”. Spot on In the 1970s, the American expression “right on” was popular, which had the same meaning as “exactly right”, but it has become out of date. Now, the British expression “spot on” has taken the place of “right on”. 34. The British will complain about the cold weather by saying “ ”.A. it’s bloody cold todayB. the weather chats upC. the weather has too much bloodD. what a bloody day 35. According to the passage, “a ginger cat” refers to a cat that .A. enjoys eating gingerB. has yellow furC. smells like gingerD. likes the color yellow 36. What does the “sell-by date” of the products mean? A. The price of the products. B. The rights that the producers should have. C. The date when the products are produced. D. The date after which the products should not be sold. 37. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. English—a common language B. How does American English develop? C. British English is entering American English D. Differences between American English and British English C Who are your favorite teachers? My classmates and I were asked this question on the first day at the university many years ago. It was a great way to begin my career in teaching—thinking about people in the profession who had the most positive (积极的) influence on me. We were asked to write down our answers. I thought of Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Mary Anne, who taught me in the kindergarten. I thought of Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Kofford, English teachers, and Mr. Kutras, a history teacher, in high school. Then I thought of Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Campbell, history professors, and Dr. Kirk, an English professor, who taught me in college. Then came this question, “What do they all have in common?” My hand went up first and I said, “They all loved what they were doing. They had great enthusiasm (积极性) for teaching.” All of my fellow graduate students nodded their heads. That was the right answer Dr. McSweeney expected. He said, “I ask these questions every year, and I always get the same answers.” He went on to explain that he opened with these questions because they were proved to make things have a good start, and they would make future teachers think about what separates the great teachers from the not-so-great. He said, “We all remember our favorite teachers—the ones who had passion (激情) and enthusiasm, the ones who loved and enjoyed what they were doing. I want each of you to become that kind of teacher. Always remember those special teachers.” It was a statement I never forgot during my thirty-five years in the classroom. 38. According to the passage, an excellent teacher should have .A. much experience in teachingB. a wide range of knowledge C. passion and enthusiasm for teaching D. abilities to ask questions 39. The author thinks that teachers who are liked best by students .A. live a positive lifeB. are mostly women teachersC. teach very wellD. have positive influence on students 40. By starting with those questions Dr. McSweeney wished his students to .A. become great teachersB. enjoy his lesson C. remember him forever D. tell great teachers from common ones 41. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He works in a university.B. He is actually a teacher. C. He likes Dr. McSweeney best. D. He was always the best student in school. D Sitting in her yard in Hartford, Connecticut, nine-year-old Alice Cogswell watched the children playing games. From their faces she could tell that they were laughing. But she couldn’t hear their voices. Alice had been deaf, living in a quiet world since a serious illness took away her hearing when she was 2. The year was 1814, and few opportunities were given to children like Alice. Unable to hear or talk, she didn’t attend school. There were no teachers to teach deaf children across America. In those days, most people believed that deaf children couldn’t learn at all. One day, her neighbor, Thomas Gallaudet, noticed that Alice wasn’t playing with other kids. When he tried to speak to her, he realized that she couldn’t hear. But he couldn’t miss her bright and curious eyes. Placing his hat on the ground, he spelt the letters h-a-t. Alice understood, and soon Gallaudet became her teacher. Gallaudet had learnt about schools for the deaf in Europe. He thought, “Why shouldn’t Alice and other deaf children in the United States have such a school?” Encouraged by Alice’s progress, Gallaudet decided to go to Europe to learn their ways. After 15 months there, Gallaudet returned to Connecticut, together with Laurent Clerc, a teacher from a famous school for the deaf in Paris, France. Gallaudet and Clerc opened the country’s first deaf school in 1817. There were 33 teachers and students at the very beginning, including Alice. They created the American Sign Language, which was based partly on the French sign language and partly on signs the students invented. Deaf students could now learn subjects like reading, history and math, as well as skills like shoemaking and cabinetmaking (家具制造) for boys and housekeeping for girls. 42. Which of the following about deaf children in the US before 1814 is TRUE? A. They were treated as normal kids in schools. B. They communicated with others with the help of a sign language. C.

高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案篇1There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away."You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you.""But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor."A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken.""I can," answered the captain."If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?""There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore.""But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily." 'A fire's fire,' you said," answered the sailor.

She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away.

Reading阅读:Food FirstsHow much do you know about the history of some of your favorite foods? Do you know when people in England started cooking curry dishes? Do you know in which country pizzas or hamburgers were first made? The facts might surprise you.Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In reality, wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years before British ships traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of King Richard I were making curry dishes, and in fact, the word “curry” can be found in an English language cookbook as far back as 1377.As for pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza caught on in Naples, Italy!Finally, let‟s look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food.

高一英语限时阅读训练(二)ASydney — A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked. The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water,” police said. “Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said, “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore. “There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine.” The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment.Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have suffered any fractures(骨折).He was in a stable condition now.Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was too e arly to say what type of shark attacked the boy. “I don't even know if he saw it,” Miller said.Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare. However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban(禁止) on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters. (379 words)1. The report mainly tells us _____.A. shark attacks on humans are on the riseB. sharks attacked humans three times in one monthC. a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beachD. shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney’s beaches2. The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “_____”.A. desertedB. swallowedC. attackedD. packed3. What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?A. It is one of the largest cities in Australia.B. Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.C. There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.D. There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney’s beaches.4. About the injury of the boy we know that _________.A. he was losing much blood when he was dragged outB. he was very nervous when he was sent to hospitalC. he may be in danger of losing his legD. he was injured in the right leg5. All the following are the causes of Australia’s sharks’ increasing EXCEPT that _____.A. environmental protection has created a cleaner environmentB. a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbersC. many shark species are protected in Australia watersD. the film Jaws has made the Great White famousBIt was almost the worst birthday of Abraham Lincoln’s life. On February 11, 1861 (the day before he turned fifty-two), Lincoln left for Washington to become the nation’s sixteenth President. As he left home in Springfield, Illinois, Lincoln handed his son Robert a black oilskin bag, and told him to keep it carefully. He did not tell Robert what was inside.Unknown to his seventeen-year-old son, Lincoln’s newly written inaugural speech had been placed his in the bag. It was to be the most important speech he ever made. And it was his only copy.When the train arrived in Indianapolis — the first stop on the long journey — Lincoln rode off in a special car without his family. Robert walked from the station to the local hotel.When Robert arrived at the hotel, he learned that his family’s rooms were not ready. So he asked that the bag should be held at the front desk. Then he went off to be with friends.On his return, Robert found his father waiting anxiously. Where was the bag? Robert explained that he had checked it at the desk.An angry Lincoln sped to the hall and leaped over the front desk. He began searching through a huge pile of luggage.As puzzled guests looked on, Lincoln dragged from the pile a familiar-looking black bag and opened it, only to find someone else’s dirty clothes. It was the wrong bag. Back he went to the pile.At last he found the valuable bag and the speech inside. Lincoln handed it to his son and said strictly, “Now you keep it!”It was the one and only time, Robert said, that his father had ever lost his temper at him. But with his speech found and his birthday yet to be celebrated, Abraham Lincoln grew cheerful. As Robert proudly recalled, “Father did not scold(责骂).”(313 words)6.

Should we allow the Odeon Triplex Cinema to be constructed at the Havenswood Shopping Center? There is just one large lot left to build on, and the theater would use up all of that space. Some people are excited at the idea of finally having our own movie theater. Others would rather travel ten miles north to the nearest theater to keep our quiet town the way it is. They say it is enough to have Marvin’s Movie Video Rentals in the shopping centre, with lots of recent videos available.There are certainly benefits to renting videos. For one thing, you can view movies when it is convenient for you. You can relax on your sofa,and take a break whenever you need one. You can also talk to others without bothering any strangers seated nearby. In addition, it is a less expensive way to view a movie, especially if more than one person is watching the video.On the other hand, seeing a movie in a theater is a different experience. For one thing, you can see the movie on a wide screen as the filmmaker intended. To be viewed on a television screen, a film must be changed in some way to make it smaller. One way is the “pan-and-scan” method, which involves removing some of the details in the picture. This results in an image that is not complete. The other way, called “letterboxing”, keeps the image the way it is on the big screen, with one annoying exception: because the big-screen version is wide, the same picture on a television screen must be long and narrow, with black strips(带状) above and below it.Another problem is sound. The sound from a television cannot compare to the sound system in a movie theater. Your experience of a movie improves when you can clearly hear all of the sound. Furthermore, at home, viewing companions often talk during a movie, which makes you miss out on what’s happening in the film.Besides, having a movie theater will not mean that you can’t still go to Marvin’s and rent a movie! You will just have a choice that you didn’t have before. Isn’t it time for people in Havenswood to enjoy a little progress? (388 words)14. Who may be the author?A. An editor of a newspaper.B.
