AAmerican eat breakfast and lunch quickly if it is not a social, business or family occasion. The evening meal is usually longer and a time for families to gather together. Rushing through daytime meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for rushing through daytime meals is that many people eat in restaurants that are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they, too, can be served and return to work on time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. As with busy people everywhere there is a real difference between meals that are eaten in a hurry and those that can be enjoyed slowly with friends.1.What is not mentioned in the passage? ______A.What time Americans eat dinnerB.Where Americans eatC.The reason why Americans eat in a hurryD.Which meal Americans eat slowly2..Americans hurry at meals because ______A.they are not used to eating slowlyB.they do not like eating outdoorsC.they don‘t have enough time for meals in the daytimeD.they don’t like to eat slowly during their work time3.According to the passage the least busy time to eat in a restaurant would probable be ______A.during the busy timeB.at lunchC.at dinnerD.at either breakfast or lunch4.The passage suggests that the Americans ______A.like eating with friendsB.don‘t take a sleep after lunchC.don’t eat much at lunchD.eat dinner less slowly than lunch5.According to the passage Americans ______A.often hurry in the eveningB.are always late for their workC.eat slower for social and business reasonsD.never eat in restaurant in the eveningBCars are the most important part of life in the United States.

He probably doesn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped to make the United States what it is today.There are many reasons that the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country was a large one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest from of transportation. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed anefficient and inexpensive from of public transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in the other parts of the world. Nowadays there is good system of air service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don‘t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.6.Most Americans feel they are poor when they ______A.are out of workB.don‘t have enough foodC .have no cars D.have no money7..Henry was the first to ______ cars.A.find outB. produceC.sellD. find8."a nation on wheels" means ______A.the nation is producing the best cars in the worldB.everyone in this country owns a carC.there are more cars than trains in the countryD. cars play a very important role in people’s life9.With a car people can go ______ easily.A. whereB.to any placeC.to anywhereD.any place10.The real solution to the gas shortage problem is ______A.to make less carsB.to develop train serviceC.to develop a good transportation systemD.to make gas-saving carsCPeople have smoked cigarettes for a long time now. The tobacco used to make cigarettes was grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking, and soon the dried leaves were transported (运输) to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turks (土耳其人) made cigarettes popular.Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances (物质), tar and nicotine, Tar, which forms as the tobacco bums, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases breathing rate (频率).Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that each package of cigarettes bear (带有) a special warning about the danger of smoking.11.

Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport, clothing and food.The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was con-quered（占领）by its western neighbour Sweden. After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence （独立） and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic Wars （1814—1818）Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation’s wealth lies in the wood from its forest, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water.36. From the passage, we learn that Finland ___.A. lies inside the Arctic CircleB. is next to the countries of Northern EuropeC. lies east of SwedenD. is all covered with forests and lakes37. In the history, Finland was sequently （相继）ruled by ___.A. Sweden, Germany, Denmark and RussiaB. Sweden, Denmark, Sweden and RussiaC. Sweden, Denmark, Russia and GermanyD. Sweden, Russia, Denmark and Russia38. Finland must have been under the control of ___ at last.A. RussiaB. DenmarkC. SwedenD. A country not mentioned39. Finland won its complete independence in ___.A. 1532B. 1917C. 1818D. 191940.Among natural resources, the Finland people benefit mainly from ___.A. coal and oilB. forests and waterC. paper and furnitureD. wood and power industryBIt took me eighteen years to realize what a big influence my mother has been on my life. She’s the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions, and she always has time for her four children. She is also the kind of community（社区） leader who has a seat on the board of every big project. Growing up with such a strong role model, I developed much of her enthusiasm （热情）. I not only came to love the happiness of learning simply for knowing something new, but also came to understand the idea of giving back to the community in exchange for a new sense of life, love, and spirit.My mother’s enthusiasm for learning is most apparent in travel. I was nine years old when my family visited Greece. Every night of the three weeks before the trip, my elder brother Peter and I sat with mother on her bed reading Greek myths and taking notes on the Greek Gods. Although we were traveling with fourteen-month-old twins, we still managed to go to every place we wanted to visit. I have learned about global history, politics and culture, as well as my family and myself.The experiences I’ve had at home and abroad have been spectacular（壮观的）. My mother has enriched my life with her love for learning, and changed it with her devotion（奉献）to humanity. With her endles s love for everything and everyone, I’ve seen a hope and life. Next year, I’ll find a new home miles away. However, my mother will always be by my side.41. The mother’s influence on the author’s life includes the following EXCEPT ___.A. being crazy about politicsB. assistance of othersC. love of lifeD. enthusiasm of knowledge42 The underlined word “apparent” is the nearest in meaning to ___.A. pleasedB. obviousC. crazyD. available43. We can learn from the passage that the author ___.A. will leave his mother next yearB. didn’t use to understand his motherC. has two brothersD. is sure to become a devotional person to society44. Which is the most proper word to describe the author’s emotion（情感）towards his mother？A. Grateful.B. Regretful.C. Proud.D. Pitiful.45. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true？A.

Drink made me feel distant from my misery at home, and I started smoking and drinking on a daily basis. Then my mother left. It broke my heart—I felt like she chose drugs over me. But that didn’t make me stop using them.I relied on weed to handle my pain and anger.I moved in with my dad, but he drank a lot and we argued. I’d avoid going home, staying out with friends instead, drinking and getting high. Before, I only smoked for fun, but now I depended on it to help me through each day.When I turned 18, I went to California and tried to start my life over. But I felt isolated there. I was smoking weed every day. Getting high was all I had, and it scared me. I realized I was just running from my problems. I called my dad and told him I wanted to back home.I can happily say I’ve been off drugs for nearly a year now. My dad has also been sober（清醒的）for several months, and it’s a lot easier for us to get along now that drugs aren’t in the way. I’ve made new friends, too—my best friend is a girl from high school who didn’t do drugs or drink. I still don’t see my mom much, and I don’t know if we’ll ever be close again. All I know is tha t I don’t want to waste my life like she did. I’ll never go back to the person Iwas—I would rather be the girl I always dreamed I could be!”—Megan 18FACT：“Nobody knows how drug use is going to affect them,” Simon says. “You’re playing Russian roulette（一种赌博）.

The attack was not a natural action for food, but out of response when the two sharks swam too close to the great white. The great white has not attacked other fellows, and officials have moved other soupfin sharks to another tank（贮水池） for their safety. These attacks have given rise to calls for the freedom of the 88-pound, 5-foot-3-inch shark. The aquarium houses the shark in a million-gallon tank. However, according to experts, the tank is not big enough for the shark. Its nose is bloody from striking the glass of the aquarium. Great white sharks in the wild have a huge amount of migration, sometimes traveling 50 miles a day. Because the shark is still young, there is possibility of his growing. As it grows, it can become more troubled with the limited space.Aquarium officials say that keeping the shark in the aquarium allows them to study behavior that they cannot study with free great white sharks. With the studied behavioral patterns, scientists believe that they can then help great white sharks in the wild.Since the shark has been on display, aquarium attendance has increased. The one-year-old shark is the longest surviving great white living here. It has been at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for six months. Other great whites have not survived for longer than 16 days.51. A great white shark’s attacking two soupfin sharks is directly because of ___.A. the hunger of the great white sharkB. the limited space of the aquariumC. the fight between them for foodD. their close touch with each other52. The underlined word “migration” probably means ___.A. movementB. fightingC. growthD. freedom53. If the great white shark still stay in the aquarium, it would probably ___.A. be killedB. feed on more soupfin sharksC. stop growingD. feel less comfortable54. According to aquarium officials, what can be learned？A. The great white shark can live longer in the aquarium.B. The great white shark will be set free from the aquarium.C. The great white shark should be kept in the aquarium.D. The great white shark has been used to living in the aquarium.55. What would be the best title for this passage？A. California Aquarium Houses SharksB. Shark Kills Two Others in AquariumC. Ways for Sharks to Survive LongerD.

Many country performers used to attend （参加） the convention to give their performances. Fans would go to Nashville hoping to see their favorite performers. In the end, so many fans began showing up in Nashville that a festival named Fan Fair was born.The first Fan Fair was held in April 1972, in Nashville for four days. Some of country music's biggest stars attended. There were about fifty thousand fans. The first Fan Fair was so successful that planning began almost immediately for 1973. The date was changed to June, when the weather would be better. Over one hundred thousand fans attended the second Fan Fair.Every year brought so many performers and fans to Fan Fair that, in 1982, it was moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Fan Fair stayed at the fairgrounds for another nineteen years.There was always the unexpected during the festival. In 1974, former （以前的） Beatle Paul McCartney attended. In 1992, more than six hundred reporters from Europe, Asia, and South America went to cover the appearance of a popular star, Billy Ray Cyrus, who had introduced a new country line dance. In 1996, Garth Brooks, who made a surprise appearance, signed autographs for 23 hours.In 2001, Fan Fair returned to downtown Nashville as the world's biggest country music festival.

The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff （悬崖） and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear. The coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holdens if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious（失去知觉的）but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. "The dog was very thin and hungry, Steve Tregear said, "It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.It was, as Mr. Holden admitted，“a minor miracle（奇迹）”8. The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was .A. rescuing her ownerB. caught in a hurricaneC. blocked by a rockD. running after a sheep9. Who spotted Judy after the accident？A. A birdwatcher.B.

Surviving a HurricaneC. Dangers in the Wild.D. Coming Back from the DeadDFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural （农村的） and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion （时刻） or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity （兴旺） in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play asignificant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.12.According to the passage, sharing bread______.A. indicates a lack of foodB. can help to develop unityC. is a custom unique to rural areasD. has its roots in birthday celebrations13. What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year？A. TrustB. SuccessC. Health.D. Togetherness14. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by_____.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. analyzing causesD. describing processes15. What is the passage mainly about？A. The custom of sharing foodB. The specific meaning of foodC. The role of food in ceremoniesD. The importance of food in culture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。
