However, today, Chinese people may be leading the world in mobile payment, mainly WeChat Pay and Alipay.Foreigners feel amazed when Chinese people buy everything with their phones. At least, this was the case for Lim Swee Say, Manpower Minister of Singapore.When Lim was waiting in line to buy some snacks at a street stall(货摊）in Shanghai, he saw other customers show their phones and take the food without giving over any cash. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using mobile payment. "Singapore is actually backward（落后）" , said LimThe popularity of mobile payment in China has pushed many foreign countries and agencies to accept them. And several reasons might make this mobile payment spread in the whole world.● Quite a few Western mobile payment services require businessmen to install（安装）expensivemachines before customers can use them. While using Chinese mobile payment, all it takes is a QR code（二维码）and a smart phone.● Nowadays, almost everyone has a smart phone, even teenagers. And the mobile payment has helped people save the trouble of taking wallets with them. It's not only safer, more convenient, but also environmentally friendly.● Most shops in China, fro m a tiny shop in villages to a huge shopping center in big cities, all offer the service of mobile payment. And by the end of last year, Hangzhou Public Transportation System installed the mobile payment machine on 8,000 downtown buses.● With Chinese trav elers throughout the world, it's now common to see the familiar green or blue QR codes in tourist sights around the world.1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．The Chinese people still like to pay in cash today.B．Most Western people feel like the mobile payment.C．Chinese people used the credit card at the beginning of the 21 at century.D．Both WeChat Pay and Alipay are the most popular payments in China.2．How do the foreigners feel when they see so many Chinese pay with phones?A．Interested. B．amazed. C．Delighted. D．Worried.3．What does Lim mean by saying "Singapore is actually backward."?A．In Singapore fewer people like to pay in cash.B．People in Singapore don't know how to pay with phones.C．It is not so popular for people in Singapore to pay with phones.D．There are fewer people in Singapore who like the web payment.4．What does the underlined word "popularity" mean?A．普及B．便捷C．入口D．喜好5．Why does the writer write this passage?A．To remind people to pay with credit cards.B．To introduce WeChat Pay & Alipay.C．To tell us the fact that the mobile payment may spread in the world.D．To persuade（说服）more people to use mobile payment.B14、Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed really hard to get the thread(线) to run smoothly around the needle(针).Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamed that he had beencaught by terrible soldiers whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the prison and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears(矛) raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all kinds of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images(图像) which the conscious part may not know at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves ”.1．According to the passage, Elias Howe was _______.A．the first person that solved problems in his sleepB．much more hard-working than other inventorsC．the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD．the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams2．The problem Howe was trying to solve was _______.A．what kind of thread to useB．where to put the needleC．how to design a needle which would not breakD．how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle3．Thomas Edison is spoken of because _______.A．he also tried to invent a sewing machine B．he got some of his ideas from dreamsC．he was one of Howe's best friends D．he also had difficulty in falling asleep4．What does the underlined phrase “secret messages to ourselves” mean?A．Strange images are used to communicate ideas.B．Images which have no meaning are used.C．We can never understand the real meaning.D．Some specially trained people can know them.C15、China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one﹣child policy （政策）before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.From 2016, two﹣child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two﹣child policy is good. First of all, two﹣child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry an only child girl, the burden（负担）on their child and hiswife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two﹣child policy can guarantee （保证）the number of Chinese population.All in all, one﹣child policy has been out of date. And two﹣child policy is needed and necessary. It can solvethe problems of nowadays （现在）and the future.1．Which country has the largest population in the world?A．America B．Britain C．China D．Japan．2．The underlined phrase “carried out” in Paragraph 1mean s“”in Chinese.A．携带B．取消C．禁止D．实行3．Our government carried out one﹣child policy before in order to ．A．solve the population problemB．take care of two old couplesC．share the burden of taking care of their pa rentsD．argue that two﹣child policy should be put into effect4．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A．One﹣child policy has its advantages and disadvantages．B．It’s easy for a young couple to look after an old couple．C．China is a great country with the largest population in the world．D．For some families，maybe the parents are only child and they also can have5．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Two﹣child policy is needed and necessary．B．Our government carried out one﹣child policy．C．Two﹣child policy is the gift for some only child．D．Two﹣child policy can guarantee the number of Chinese population．D16、What's your pain telling you?Is that pain you feel in your back, neck or shoulders just a short ache from your new exercise menu? Or is there something deeper and more serious at work? Either way, you decide not to pay attention to it."Pain is a warning system; it tells us that something is wrong," says Bradford Butler, a doctor. "Continual pain goes further. It is telling you that a whole system in your body isn't working right. "For many people and their doctors, the first reaction for pain, and sometimes the second and third reactions as well, is to take some painkillers and go on your way."That doesn't solve the problem, " Butler says. "Too often, with back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain or other continual pain, many doctors focus on reducing(减少) the pain rather than finding out the cause. "Imagine this，you wake up midnight with an unbearable toothache，and then visit a doctor who discovers a huge cavity(空洞)but, instead of repairing the cavity, just gives you some powerful medicine for the pain and sends you home.“Left untreated，the pain would get worse and the damage to the tooth would worsen，leading to bigger and more expensive medical process later on，”But ler says.Butler offers some advice for those whose bodies are trying to warn them that something is wrongChoose your doctor wisely. Blind faith (信任) in any doctor is not the answer. Butler says, " Doctors have their own specialty and make sure you find someone who will really help you with your problem. "Don't let your body resetting its pain level fool you. What happens when you let the pain go? Your body adapts (适应) . Butler says, "When your body gets used to the pain, you think the problem must be gone. While in reality, your body's pain setting has been raised. The only time you're feeling pain is when you're already in terrible poor condition. "Think of prevention. Dental (牙科的) patients are encouraged to have regular check-ups, whether they're in pain or not, so the doctor can work on potential (潜在的)problems. "That's the way for other pain," Butler says. "Being free of symptoms( 症状)doesn't mean you don't have big problems. It just means that you don't know they're developing. "" We need to listen to our pain and fix whatever is wrong as soon as possible, " Butler says. " You won't get betteruntil you find the cause of the problem. "1．Bradford Butler probably believes that .A．reducing the pain is the most importantB．finding out the cause of pain is too easyC．taking some painkillers can solve the problemsD．continual pain warns you that something is seriously wrong2．In Paragraph 5 , the writer wants to tell us .A．medical process is not cheap B．getting fully treated is necessary C．repairing the cavity is very difficult D．powerful medicine is the best solution 3．What can we know from the passage?A．Staying in terrible condition makes us fool.B．Having regular check-ups is only for dental patients.C．Finding the cause of the pain will make us healthier.D．Choosing a wise doctor is important from beginning to end.E17、(A)Ma YunBorn in 1964,Hangzhou Zhejiang The Chairman of Alibaba Group Tu Youyou85 years old , ChinaThe 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine1．Who is the Chairman of Alibaba Group?A．Lang Lang.

Unit 7 DreamsPassage 1Time: 5 minsTotal words: 442 words Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. “As long as it works,” he said in 1991, “I‟ll continue to do those commercials.”Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won‟t let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes.” Wendy said in 1993 and told us that sixty-one years ago, Dave Thomas was born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me,”Thomas said, “and if I got out of line, he‟d beat me.”When I found out I was (adopted), I didn't want to talk about it，and as I talked to people I grew older (I)got really a lot of encouragement" When he was 12 years old，Thomas started working at a barbecue restaurant in Knoxville，Tenne.Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind, “I thought if I owned a restaurant,” he said, “I could eat for free.” A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy‟s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6 000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes ＄6 billion a year in sales.Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in 1992. In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Greek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.Thomas is survived by his wife of 47 years，Lorraine，five children and 16 grandchildren. His foundation helps raise awareness for the 134000 foster children available for adoption，and helps make adoption more affordable. “The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,”says friend Pat Williams, “He wasn‟t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody.”1. What is the article mainly about?A. The life of Dave Thomas.B. The dream of Dave Thomas.C. The schooling of Dave Thomas.D. The growth of Dave Thomas‟s business.2.

However, the dream comes ture recently. Mobile office is the mutual product of economic, scientific, and social progress. Mobile office has become a solution that provides users with convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform（MIP）and its applications systems.Let‟s give an example. When you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business，what would happen to your business routine? Of course, faxes and e-mails would be still sent to your fax machine or e-mail box, but you cannot read them and make prompt reaction timely. When your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents, what can you do? Maybe you have to say “sorry” to the clients. But, your business will be affected, the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you may probably lose a lot of business opportunities.In fact, very frequently, you need to check, reply, distribute, display, modify, or read some materials when you are not in your office. You must get out of this dilemma. The best solution to normally handle your business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office “move” with you. Thus, you can have convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime. With the development of communication technology, network application, and wireless interconnection, mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phone with data communications function. Thus, mobile office has already been put into your pocket, and office mobility has been realized.Mobile office has provided people with convenient, casual working environment, but at the same time it still has some unsatisfactory aspects such as mismatching equipment interface and inadequate battery. Nevertheless, we believe that with technical progressing, people can certainly overcome all kinds of difficulties. Mobile office will make your career unimpeded, and will realize the dream of completely free communication. Users will enjoy more colorful life and better working environment, and users‟living standard, working efficiency, and even enterprises‟production efficiency will certainly be immensely raised.1. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. mobile office is the only way by which people could enjoy prompt and safe working environmentB. with the development of science, mobile office comes to our life inevitablyC. people had no convenient and reliable communications and office faculty beforeD. mobile interconnection platform and its application systems is the core of mobile office2. We learn from the passage that without mobile office,_____.A. you cannot put your business routine aside or attend meetingsB. you cannot read faxes and e-mails when you travel on businessC. you cannot make apologies to the clients for your delayD. you cannot catch any business opportunities because of bad working condition3. The passage suggests that mobile office is neccessary, especially when _____.A. you need to make some urgent modification on your workB. you need to read and reply faxes and e-mailsC. you are out of the office to attend meetingsD. you can put the mobile office into your pocket4. Which of the following statement best expresses the main idea of paragraph 2?A. When you leave your office, you should not forget your business routine.B. You will lose a lot of business opportunities if you always delay your work.C. When you leave your office, your business routine would be harmed.D. When you cannot meet the need of your clients, you should say"sorry".5. In the eyes of the author, mobile office ___ __.A. has some fatal shortcomingsB. is too expensive to affordC. would be realized in the futureD. has both advantages and disadvantagesNotes:dilemma n. （进退两难的）窘境，困境interface n.接口，界面mobile interconnection platform（MIP）无线互联平台Key: DBCCDPassage 3Time: 4 minsTotal words: 413 words Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep.

This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. We can find more such examples.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious, but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake.However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.1. According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams2. The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle3. Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howe‟s best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep4. In the last paragraph, when can “this part” of brain work?A. when we are awakeB. when the other part of brain is workingC. when we fall asleepD. not mentioned5. Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because___.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themNotes:1. flew into the cage: 发怒，暴怒2. unconscious：无意识Key: CDBCAPassage 4Time: 4minsTotal words: 414 words On May 29,1973, Thomas Bradley, a black man, was elected as the mayor of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States. And there are lot of black people there --- with a population of three million. A-bout sixteen percent of the city‟s population are black.Shortly after the election, News of this result appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one of the newspapers reported the event: “LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTY BLACK WINS 56% OF VOTES”.Bradley called his victory over Yorty “the fulfillment of a dream”. During hischildhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “You can‟t do this, you can …t go there, because you are a Negro. ” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the city‟s mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 43. 7 percent.Los Angeles have had many opportunities to judge Thomas Bradley and had to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. Just because of his harding work, he was elected to the city council ten years ago.At the time of the Los Angeles election, three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of those cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland, Ohio, had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary, Indiana, which had fifty-five percent black. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles. For years ago Bradley lost mayoral election to Yorty. This time Bradley won. That‟s why he calls the election a fulfillment of a dream. Nowadays, in the USA, anyone can be elected as long as he/she work hard for the benefit of people, color of skin will not be a decisive agent.1. In the author‟s opinion, it was surprising that ______.A. the whites would vote for a black mayorB. a black mayor would be elected in such a large cityC. a black from a poor farmer‟s family could be elected mayor of Los AngelesD. there would be so many black mayors2. From the passage we can infer that people ______.A. voted for Bradley because of his black colorB. didn‟t care much about his color when they votedC. voted for him to give him a chance to fulfill his dreamD. voted for Bradley because they trusted him3. Bradley hit the front page headline for ______.A. he was the first black mayor in the historyB. he was the first black mayor in the south of USAC. he was the first black mayor of one of the largest cities in the USAD. a poor farmer‟s son could also win an important elec tion4. which of the following is not ture according to the passage?A. Carl Stokes, Richard Hatcher, Kenneth Gibson were all black Mayors in the USAB. Thomas Bradley‟s election is not so surprising because there are already 3 blackmajors in the USAC. New Jersey has the most percentage of black population among the threeD. Los Angeles has the largest population of black among the three5. From Bradley‟s victory in the election we can see that _______.A. blacks had equal rights as whites in the USAB. black people‟s situation began to be improving much more than beforeC. one can be successful through hard work in the USA no matter what color he isD. it is certain that someday USA will have a black presidentNotes:unseat: 使从马上摔下来fulfillment : 实现Key: BDCBC。

2. Despite his exhaustion, Howe slept badly. He tossed and turned.
Then he had a nightmare. He dreamt that he had been captured by a tribe of terrible savages whose king threatened to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing-machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They advanced towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the nightmare with a start, realizing that he had just found the solution to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the centre of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally enabled Howe to design and build the first really practical sewing-machine.

He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed really hard to get the thread(线) to run smoothly around the needle(针).Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamed that he had been caught by terrible soldiers whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the prison and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears(矛) raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all kinds of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images(图像) which the conscious part may not know at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves ”.1．According to the passage, Elias Howe was _______.A．the first person that solved problems in his sleepB．much more hard-working than other inventorsC．the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD．the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams2．The problem Howe was trying to solve was _______.A．what kind of thread to useB．where to put the needleC．how to design a needle which would not breakD．how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle3．Thomas Edison is spoken of because _______.A．he also tried to invent a sewing machine B．he got some of his ideas from dreamsC．he was one of Howe's best friends D．he also had difficulty in falling asleep4．What does the underlined phrase “secret messages to ourselves” mean?A．Strange images are used to communicate ideas.B．Images which have no meaning are used.C．We can never understand the real meaning.D．Some specially trained people can know them.B14、This weekend a marathon ( 马拉松) took place in Salzburg. I admired the runners who ran 42.2 kilometers for over four hours. But I've never run for more than half an hour.At university I play korfball. This is a team sport with eight people on each team. The aim is to shoot ( 投篮) the ball into the hoop. All players get a chance to attack ( 攻) and defend ( 守) during the game and it's very fast. When I started korfball, I wasn't very good at it. I could throw and catch but I wasn't very fast on my feet. Shooting was also difficult for me. However, I really enjoyed the sport and made friends in the club, so I went training twice a week. Two years later I am in the first team for my university and have played in many matches. This just shows if you train hard, you can succeed.Running is difficult because you have to make yourself willing to keep going. I used to get really out of breath while running and I didn't feel good at all! Now I actually enjoy going for a run along the river in Salzburg, feeling my muscles ( 肌肉) working and breathing in the fresh air.Challenging exercise is always worth doing. Hiking is fun because all the hard work—walking uphill comes at the beginning of the day, then at the top of the mountain you can enjoy the view. At the end of the day you feel like you've really achieved something.I will never be a marathon runner, but I would like to try a 10-km run sometime, or perhaps even a half-marathon. How happy the runners were as they crossed the finishing line! I'd like to have that feeling—the months of training paying off as you achieve your goal.1．What did the writer think of running the marathon at first?A．Difficult. B．Strange. C．Enjoyable. D．Exciting.2．When the writer started korfball, he couldn't .A．catch and throw a ball B．catch and shoot a ballC．move quickly while playing D．catch the ball from teammates3．Why does the writer think challenging exercise is worth doing?A．It helps him make lots of friends. B．It gives him a sense of achievement.C．It makes him become a marathon runner. D．It helps him get to the top of the mountain.C15、It can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural（多元文化）environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.1．In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ______.A．keep each other companyB．share the same cultureC．get to know each otherD．develop closer relations2．The writer mentions his experience in Thailand to show that ______.A．too many words are of no useB．the English prefer to make long speechesC．even talk and silence can be culturally differentD．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature3．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Multicultural EnvironmentB．Cross-Cultural DifferencesC．How to Understand Each OtherD．How to Build Up a RelationshipD16、A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her new born son was “dead”，but she helped bring him back to life by holding the baby against her body.She used a method known as “kangaroo care”(袋鼠护理法)．The child，named Jamie，was born after only 27 weeks with his twin sister，Emily，at a hospital in Sydney.Her birth went well，but his was a different story.The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before declaring (宣布)him dead.“His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body，” Kate Ogg said，“I took my coat off and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband，David，spoke to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly two hours.During that time，the two-pound baby showed signs of life.She said，“I told my mom，who was there，that he was still alive.Then he held out his hand and grabbed (抓住)my finger.” Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mother’s arms，and their final goodbye turned into a hello.The doctor at first ignored(忽视) the baby’s movements，but when he put the stethoscope (听诊器) to its chest，his mouth was wide open and he said，“it’s my fault.It’s a miracle(奇迹)．”“The ‘kangaroo care’ helps the baby keep body warmth，” D r Pinchi Srinivasan said，“It also regulates (调节) heartbeat and breathing rates and is believed to help weight gain and improve sleeping habits.Fathers can also use“kangaroo care”．The key to the method is skin-to-skin contact.The practice began in less developed nations.It has become a recognized practice in helping premature(早产) babies.The techniques(技术) is good for babies，and is used in many baby care centres.1．After hearing

pushed together to make six bigger desks.The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fan's school,Changsha Daotian Middle School inHunan.About five weeks ago,more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way,with six to eight students sitting in groups."This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,a

many friends, and he was proud of it. Whoever he met, he would like to show off how popular he was at school.One day, his grandpa said to him, “Mike, I know that you don’t have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you.”Mike thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need. It’s in my room. Wait a minute.” The old man left, soon returning as if(好像) carrying something in his hand, but Mike could see nothing there.“Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible, it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you manage to sit on it, you can use the chair’s magic power to tell who your real friends are.”Mike took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair.“Nobody moves. Y ou’re about to see something amazing,” said Mike.

Passage oneEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle.The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.1.According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.【C】A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked2.The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.【A 】A. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needleB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needle3.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.【B】A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howe’s best friends4.Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because___.【A】A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningPassage twoThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to haveits full effect on women’ s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.5.We are told that in an average family about 1990________.【D】A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five6. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.【D】A. would expect to work until she diedB. was usually expected to take up paid employmentC. would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely7. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.【 D 】A. marry so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby8. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.【 C 】A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at schoolPassage threeSwimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It's wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic strokes; butterfly, backstroke, breastroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:1. Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don't risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself , with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.2. Don't go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach, Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good.Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.3. Don't smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.4. Work at any activity that builds muscles.9. Little children can learn to swim as soon as _____.【B】A. they can talkB. they start walkingC. they have no fear of the waterD. they are five or six years old10. The author believes that fear of water is_____.【 B 】A. stupidB. sensibleC. dangerousD. not smart11. The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_____.【A】A. Picture (1)B. Picture (2)C. Picture (3)D. Picture (4)12. According to the passage, you should not swim alone because_____.【D】A. the water is too coldB. your parents would not be happyC. something in the water might attackD. you might drownPassage fourAmericans spend their free time in various ways.America is a country of sports—of hunting, fishing and swimming, and of team sports like baseball and football. Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television. They also like to play in community orchestras(管弦乐队),make their own films or recordings, go camping ,visit museums, attend lectures, travel, garden, read, and join in hundreds of other activities. The people also enjoy building things for their homes, sewing their own clothes, even making their own photographs. They do these things for fun as well as for economy.But as much as Americans enjoy their free time, the country is at the same time a"self-improvement" country. More than 25 million adults continue their education, chiefly by going to school in the evening, during their own free time, at their own expense. Added to the time spent on personal activities, Americans a1so devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities. Many hospitals, schools, libraries, museums, parks, community centers, and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities, often without any pay. Why do they do it?There are several answers. The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself.When the country was first founded in 1776,it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live. They had crossed dangerous seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom. There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government. People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities, rather than give the government more control.Sometimes people offer their time because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid, to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community. It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work; or they are learning from the experience.No matter what the reason is, hundreds of thousands of so called leisure hours are put into hard, unpaid work on one or another community need.13. This passage is mainly about ________ . 【 B 】A. why America is a country of sportsB. how Americans spend their free timeC. why America is a "self-improvement" country14. The writer mentions the foundation of the country in order to indicate ________.【C 】A. the early history of AmericaB. the American people's determination to liveC. the reason for Americans' willingness to cooperate and share responsibility15.Which of the following best explains the meaning of the underlined word “leisure"【C】A. work timeB. energyC. spare time16.What can we infer from the text【 A 】A. The first settlers left their hometown for political and religious reasons.B. Many Americans don′t trust the central government.C. American people enjoy building things for their homes just for fun.Passage fivePersonal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hou rs aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.17. The purpose of this passage is to ________.【C】A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe t he writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technologyC. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet18. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.【B】A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him19. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.【A 】A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one’s communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later20. The best title for this passage is ________.【D】A. Computer: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication。

Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flowsaway, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.60.The most important points of trees to man is ________.A.they help him to make moneyB.they give him coolC.they give him wood and other thingsD.they help him to stop drought and floods61.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .A.many trees have been cut down by manB.new trees are not well looked afterC.man has not paid enough attention to planting treesD.all the abovend becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .A. roots of trees break up the soilB. there are too many rainfallsC. strong winds bring a lot of sandD. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.63.Which title best fits the passage?A.Trees and ManB.The Function of Tree WoodC.How do People do with Trees?D.The Usage of Tree RootsCA great big fellow, weighing around 250 pounds, walked with slow heavy noisy footsteps up to the produce counter in the supermarket. ―Give me half a head of cabbage,‖ he told the clerk.―All we have are whole heads,‖ came the cold reply.―I don't want a whole head,‖ the customer demanded, ―Just half a head.

A man of strong build.DSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and needed services - that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.67. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ________A. make people live more easilyB. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changesD. cure types of illnesses68. The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______A. lies in the social medical care systems which support themB. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes61. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "cushions"?A. takes place ofB. makes up ofC. lessens the effect ofD. gets rid of69. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of ________A.instrumental supportB. informational supportC.social companionshipD. the strengthening of self-respect70. What is the subject discussed in the text?A. Interpersonal relationships.B. Kinds of social support.C. Ways to deal with stress.D.

Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to ―speak‖ with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.
