Further二、完形填空Like many other holidays, Halloween has evolved and changed throughout history. Over 2, 000 years ago people called the Celts lived in1is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of Northern France. November 1st was their New Year’s Day. They believed that the night2the New Year (October 31st) was a3when the living and the dead came together.More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1st All Saints Day (also called All Hallows). This was a special holy4to honor the saints and other people who died for their religion. The night before All Hallows was5Hallows Eve. Later the name was6 to Halloween.Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also7that the spirits of the dead would visit the8on Halloween. They worried that evil9would cause problems or10them. So on that night people11costumes that looked like ghosts or12evil creatures. They thought if they dressed like that, the spirits would think they were also13and would not harm them. The tradition of Halloween was14to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some of the 15changed a little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europe some people would carry lanterns made from turnips. In America, pumpkins were more common. So people began16 candles inside them and using them17lanterns. That is why you see Jack lanterns today. These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It is primarily a fun day for children. Children18in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. 19instead of worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house.

People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. T herefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about 10percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old can’t work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age. Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation. they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over18millionpeople in the United States received welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.1 .The author's main purpose to write this article is_________.A. to define what the poverty line isB. to explain why some people live the poverty lineC. to find solutions to the problem of povertyD. to show sympathy for those poor people2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Ten percent of the Americans live a poor life.B. Poor people are those who love below the poverty line.C. The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.D. The poverty line tends to be at the same level.3. More than 40 percent of the poor people are children. This is mainly because__.A. they do not have enough motivationB. they are so young that they are deprived of chances to workC. they fail to get enough educationD. they are very poor in health4. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because___.A. they to not have any motivation to workB. they are not very self-confidentC. they are too young or too old to workD. they have physical and family problems5. We may conclude from the passage that_________.A. better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet foundB. welfare will enable people to be richC. poor people are bound to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to dobusinessD. employment is the best solution to the poverty problemBIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recentstudy, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that____.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue2. What can we infer from Paragraph2?A. China lacks wind and solar energyB. China is the leader of the low-carbon marketC. High-speed trains are a low-carbon developmentD. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests3. To fully develop the low-carbon markets governments can______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation4. We can learn from the last paragraph that business have many chances to _______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge5. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC. To predict a change of the global marketsD. To advocate sustainable developmentCThe income gap between China's rural and urban residents has continued to widen during the past few years in spite of rapidly rising rural incomes, Agricultural Minister Sun Zhengcai said here on Wednesday．The income ratio（比率）between urban and rural residents was 3．28:1 in 2006, against 3．23:1 in 2003, said Sun in his report on the promotion of building a new countryside in2007．Sun also said the net income of rural residents in different regions also varied widely．The income gap is only one of several problems in rural areas, according to Sun's report．While listing the achievements in rural areas in recent years, Sun believed that rural development still followed behind urban development．"We have bigger pressure to ensure the supply of major agricultural products such as grain," he said．"China's urbanization has been speeded up and more rural residents have gone to urban areas," he said．"In this case, more agricultural producers become farm produce consumers, which created more pressure for supply," he said．Another problem facing China's agricultural development is inadequate application of science and technology．"Only 30 percent of scientific and technological achievements have been applied to agricultural production, which is 40 percentage points lower than developed countries," he said．Despite increased government spending in rural areas, the infrastructure is still poor and easily hit by disasters．According to Sun, the government spent 431．8 billion yuan （$59．15 billion）on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, an increase of 80．1 billion yuan over the previous year．China set aside 11．38 billion yuan to promote a new rural cooperative medical care system and 27．98 billion yuan to support the new compulsory education mechanism in rural area to ensure that all citizens shared the fruits of China's reform and opening-up, Sun said．1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．Because of the rapidly rising rural incomes, the income gap between China's rural and urban residents will disappear this year．B．The net income of rural residents in different regions is the same．C．The government has taken measures to develop the economy in the rural areas．D．Because of the rapidly rising rural incomes, the supply of major agricultural products is enough．2．Can you infer the meaning of the underlined words in paragraph 5?A．be made full use of B．be made little use ofC．be not made full use of D．be made good use of3．How much is spent on agriculture, rural areas and farmers the previous year?A．431．8 billion yuan B．511．9 billion yuanC．351．7 billion yuan D．80．1 billion yuan4．Which is NOT the problem in rural areas?A．The income gap B．The inadequate application of science and technologyC．The supply of major agricultural products D．China's urbanizationDAs it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy. Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.1.What places do the Tibetan Minority groups mostly live in?A.Qinghai and Gansu Provinces.B.Tibet.C.Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces.D. Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces.2.What's the Chinese meaning of the word "ridge" ?A.山脊B. 地方C. 屋脊D. 平原3. Why do the people in Tibet often take off one sleeve of the clothes?A.

What do the people often give the important guest in order to show their respect?A. A sheep.B. A glass of Qingke wine.C. Singing and dancing.D. A Hada and a cup of Suyou Tea.5. What's the best title of the passage?A. The Tibetan Minority.B. How happy the Tibetan Minority is!C. We should respect the Tibetan Minority.D. The life in Tibet.四、任务型阅读There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Though in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.周练六答案Keys：一、1-5 DDDAA 6-10CDCBC 11-15ADBBB二、ABCDD CBABC DCBAB CDDAA ：三、（A）CDBCA （B）BBDAD（C）CCCD（D）BADDA四、1.
