Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they don't all have the same coffee culture． In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee． On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past． Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends． The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks （星巴克）coffee shops spread throughout the country．The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA． It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans． The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle．Things really began to change for the company in 1981． That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks． Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment （设备）． He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest． Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did． In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing （市场营销）．In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy． The special environment of the espresso （浓咖啡）bars there caught his eyes． Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it． Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA． Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well． Today, there are more than 16, 000Starbucks coffee shops all over the world．However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems． In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years． On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing （竞争） for business in one small area． On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks．（1） The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3probably means．________A closed．B managed．C made．D sold．（2） According to the passage， which is the right order for the following sentences？________a．This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company．b．Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA a﹣b﹣d﹣c．B c﹣a﹣b﹣d．C b﹣d﹣c﹣a．D d﹣c﹣a﹣b．（3） Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？________A Because the coffee in these places was too expensive．B Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same．C Because people like to drink coffee at home with friends．D Because there were too many coffee shops in one place．（4） To tell us the story of Starbucks， the writer did the following except．________A introducing how Starbucks became successful．B showing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successful．C telling what difficulties Starbucks faces．D telling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems．（5） What's the best title for the passage？________A The History of Starbucks．B The Culture of Starbucks．C The Popularity of Starbucks．D The environment of Starbucks．6.

If not, please take with you a compass． But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way during the trip．Suppose you are hiking with your family somewhere in the mountain in Dan Xia Mountain, you need to find the direction of south to find your way back． But none of your family members can read the map and actually knows where the family is． Nevermind． The sun is shining and it's still morning． If you don't know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you'll need to be patient．①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a pla ce where you can mark its shadow．②Try to put the stick as vertically （垂直） as you can． You can check this by making a simple plumb line （铅锤线） with a piece of string （绳子） and weight． You haven't got any string? Ok, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight．③After the stick is put vertically, you can see its shadow on the ground． Mark the end of the shadow．④Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again．⑤Keep doing this until you have m ade several marks．⑥The mark nearest the stick will show the shortest shadow when it is midday, because at that time the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south．⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest sh adow and the stick．⑧That point is south of where you are．⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should choose for traveling．（1） To find the direction， we ought to be patient probably because．________A it is not easy to find a proper stick．B it is not easy to put the stickvertically． C it takes hours to make the marks． D it takes hours to make a plumb line．（2） The passage would probably be most helpful to．________A those who draw maps．B those who get lost．C those who make compasses．D those who likes making marks．（3） According to the passage， which of the following are needed to find the direction of south？________①It is a fine day and the sun is shining brightly．②You are travelling with your family．③You have a straight stick， a piece of string and a button．④You mark the shadow every half an hour．⑤You check the marks on the stick．A ①③④．B ①②③．C ②③④．D ③④⑤．（4） The author tells us how to find the direction of south by．________A telling an interesting story．B doing an experiment himself．C testing an idea by reasoning．D introducing a useful method．（5） In which of the following columns（栏目）can you find the article？________A Family Life．B National Geography．C Experience Sharing．D Science Fiction．第二节阅读填空（共1小题，每题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．7.

Most of us have ever imagined the life on a desert island． We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise（天堂） where the sun always shines． Life there is simple and good． Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you are free to sit around without any work． This is really a beautiful picture, isn't it? However, the other side of the picture is quite the opposite． Life on a desert island is awful． You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never comes．Perhaps there is some truth in both these pictures, but few us have had the chance to find out． We can only experience it in the story like the following．Many years ago, two men spent five days on a coral island and they wished that they could stay there longer． They were driving a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired． During the journey, their boat began to sink（下沉）． They quickly put food, matches, and cans of beer into a rubber dinghy（救生筏） and rowed fora few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island．There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not seem tobe a problem． The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy． As they had brought a gun with them, they had plenty to eat． They caught lobster and fish every day, and they thought they lived just like a king． Five days later, a tank passed by and savedthem． However, they felt sorry that they had to leave．（1）． What kind of life on the island was Not mentioned according to Paragraph 1？________A A simple and good life．B A sort of paradise life．C A terrible life．D A common life．（2）． What did the two men put into the small rubber dinghy？________A Food， medicine and cans．B Food， matches and medicine．C Food， beerand matches． D Food， fish and cans．（3）． In what order did the following events take place？________a． They collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy．b． They put necessary things into a small rubber dinghy．c． They arrived at a tiny coral island．d． Their boat began to sink．e． They were saved by a tank．A d﹣b﹣a﹣c﹣e．B d﹣b﹣c﹣a﹣e．C c﹣a﹣d﹣b﹣e．D c﹣d﹣b﹣a﹣e．（4）． The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph means "________ "．A the boat．B the journey．C the picture．D the rubber dinghy．（5）． What can we know from the passage？________A The two men were sacred because of no water．B The two men became the king on the island．C The two men would stay on the coral island forever．D The two men didn't want to leave the coral island．4. Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452in Italy． He is best known as an artist today． One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa． However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities． He was also a great inventor． Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life． Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars． His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later．By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of f lying． Among his sketches we can see several objects． We consider them as modern flying machines．Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time． He developed ideas for labor﹣saving machines like cutting machines．Leonardo was a strange man． He didn't eat any meat, which was unusual in those times． He never published his ideas and scientific discoveries． He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left．We have very little of his work today． Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings． He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect． No one in his life timeknew how great Leonardo was． We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known．（1）． According to the passage， Leonardo was not only an artist but also________．A a musician．B an inventor．C a writer．D an engineer．（2）． Was Leonardo's most special invention．________A The mirror writing．B The cutting machine．C The machine gun．D The flying machine．（3）． Which of the following statements is true about Leonardo？________A He usually wrote in a mirror．B He didn't eat any meat．C He liked to publishhis discoveries． D He enjoyed drawing flying machines．（4）． What is the purpose of the passage？________A To let us know more about Leonardo．B To introduce Leonardo's great inventions．C To discuss Leonardo's famous paintings．D To introduce a great artist to us．（5）． Where is the passage probably from？________A A science story．B A picture book．C An encyclopedia．D A travel booklet．（1）At________， students are having a painting lesson．A 9：30a． m．B 11：35a． m．C 1：30p． m．D 2：15p． m．．（2）Students should prepare a new part of________ ahead of time as their homework．A TechnologyB BiologyC DramaD Chemistry．（3）Students can learn how to________ according to the information in the table．A make a videoB write a report on DramaC play basketballD surf the Internet safely．（4）An average student need about________ minutes to finish his homework．A 30B 40C 90D 110．（5）The information in the table is mainly for students to________．A take classesB do their homeworkC choose teachersD organize hobby groups．6. Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit ina new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts．Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves． Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys． Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near． But it goes further than this． We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us． People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses． People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair．We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us． Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group． The danger in always staying in our comfort zone （舒适区）is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas． We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference．When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance （无知）, which too often leads to prejudice （偏见） and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons．Move out of your comfort zone． Go and sit next to someone different． And don't just sit there in silence． Say hello． Ask a question． Start a conversation． That's how we make friends． That's how we learn about people． That's how we open our minds to new ideas． That's how we live an exciting life．（1）． From the passage， we know that people prefer sitting by someone who________A is like themselves．B has a sense of humor．C is open﹣minded．D lives an exciting life．（2）．People like staying in their comfort zone because they may________A remain comfortable and special．B be accepted easily and feel safe．C find out more interesting things．D discover differences among themselves．（3）．The underlined word "barriers" in Paragraph 4means________．A doors．B difficulties．C ideas．D rules．（4）． Why does the writer ask us to meet people of different kinds？________A Because we feel safer and share similar tastes and ideas．B Because we can enjoy an interesting and different ideas．C Because we can say hello and ask them questions．D Because we want to live in a society full of humour．（5）．What is the title of this passage？________A Just to be ourselves．B Learn more about the foreign countries．C Live an exciting life．D Jump out of the comfort zone．三. 阅读填空（共1小题，每题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．7.
