A
Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn‟t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees（卢比）.” Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god ! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
But he still continued to eat the fruit Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You‟re crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can‟t eat so many! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can‟t just eat them like that.” But the silly man said, “No, I can‟t stop! I paid money for them, and now I‟ll eat them up. It‟s my money!”
And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it‟s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won‟t work, and we know there‟s no more hope, we still continue just because we‟re put money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn‟t stop because he didn‟t want to waste the money he‟d paid.
So even if you‟ve lost something, let it go and move on. That‟s better than continuing to lose.
1. The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because _____.
A. he hadn‟t eaten it before
B. he was hungry
C. it was cheap
D. he hadn‟t seen it before
2. The underlined word “condiment” in Paragraph3 probably means _______.
A. 零食
B. 水果
C. 调料
D. 蔬菜
3. Which of the following sentence is TRUE? ( )
A. The man went to India to buy fruit.
B. The man didn‟t want to waste money.
C. The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.
D. India can grow a lot of fruit.
4. From the passage, we can learn that _____.
A. we shouldn‟t waste money
B. we shouldn‟t eat chilies
C. we shouldn‟t buy something cheap
D. letting something go is better than keeping on losing
B
Spending more than two hours night doing homework leads to better results in English, math and science, according to a major study (by Pam Sammons, England) which has tracked（跟踪）the progress of 3,000 children over the past 15 years.
Spending any time doing homework showed advantages, but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night, according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.
The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes（强调）what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.
Pam Sammons, a professor of education at Oxford University, said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school-if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoy their subjects. “That‟s one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better. They put more time in it” .
he added.
I t‟s also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. “Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment, making school work interesting and making children feel supported by teachers.” Sammons said.
It is suggested that children aged 5 to 7 should be set one-hour homework a week, half an hour a night for 7 to 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14 to 16-year-olds.
“Head teachers should make their own homework policy,” the government says.
1. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. In a poster
B. In a magazine
C. In a storybook
D. In an advertisement

A. School could make sure children had a better experience.
B. Children aged 14-16 should spend an hour a night on homework.
C. The study was published by the Department for Education in China.
D. Chinese and Indian children do worse in school work from Pam Sammons.
4. From the passage, we can know that _____.
A. Students should become interested in their results.
B. Students should do homework as much as possible.
C. Parents should encourage their children to do more homework.
D. It‟s head teacher s‟ duty to make their students‟ own homework policy.

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some tradition that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the …Happy Birthday‟song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child‟s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono（和服）. The priest（僧侣）gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony（仪式）, the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional …coming of age‟—the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote（选举）join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake
itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. They key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is “______”.
Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie stars make money in this way. However, I don‟t think this is a good way for tem to make money, because they are not the professional advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most interesting thing about advertising.
1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is “_____”.
A. The Importance of Advertising
B. Making Money through Advertising
C. Advertising Ourselves
D. Advice on Advertisements
2. This passage may be a (an) ______.
A. advertisement
B. story
C. speech
D. report
3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?
A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B. Advertising can make some people rich.
C. People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone.
4. What does the writer think of the advertisement made by Michael Jordan?
A. He thinks it helps to introduce the product.
B. He thinks it is right for him to make money.
C. He thinks it costs too much money.
D. He thinks Michael Jordan is a professional advertiser.

For hundreds Of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people‟s emotions. How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don‟t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals（化学物质）which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains（大脑）and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms”with artificial（人造的）lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people‟s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our be\rains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor（因素）that can affect one‟s emotions?
A. Weather
B. Actions of others
C. Age
D. Personality
2. Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?
A. It is a kind of artificial chemical
B. It makes us worried by affecting our brains
C. It is in the sunlight
D. It is needed by us all to keep fit
3. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?
A. We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.
B. We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.
C. All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.
D. The more vitamin D you have, the happier you‟ll be.
4. What may be the best title for this passage?
A. Why Do We Feel Sad?
B. We Can Hardly Change the Weather
C. People Need More Vitamin D C. The Weather Influences People‟s Emotions

阅读下面短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。

写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。

（每空一词）In classroom, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are the three stages（阶段）of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words”that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…”. Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as med for medicine, using symbols such as% for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate（准确的）by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences.
