AWhen friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking a t their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy. It is just that we haven’t got a TV set. People think that we are very strange. “but what do you do in the evenings?” they are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbie s. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess together.Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us. We just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost ---no televisions! So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television!1. The writer’s friends are in a hurry to leave when they visit him in the evening because _____A. they have a lot of things to do at homeB. they don’t want to stay too long at someone else’s homeC. they are always busy with their workD. they want to go back home to watch TV2.

Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs. They say that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, or monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephant can be used to do some heavy jobs. And we can also teach animals to work in factories. Apes(猿猴), for example, have been used in America to help make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in (收割)crops and even drive trains.4.

He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English?

Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.These differences in Grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.7.According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that __________.A.

AMy life began much like most other children’s before my parents left me. I grew up without knowing what parents were and there was no one to teach me how to behave and how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I developed problems with alcohol(酒)and spent seven years as a boy on the street, before ending up in a rehab clinic(康复诊所)when I was 20.Inside I met my counselor (辅导员), Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, and when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped them and looked at me in a serious but loving way and said, "No, you needn't." He told me that I didn't owe him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, "One day you'll be around someone who will need a coffee, and you'll be able to buy it for them. That's how you can pay me back."I'm a primary school teacher now, far away from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple and I buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to do that.1. The author got into some bad habits because ______.A. he didn't have parents to teach and love him.B. he didn't get a good school educationC. his brothers or sisters didn't teach himD. he was living on the street2.

It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen (氧气) they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency (紧急情况), with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.5.Which is true?A. We are not sure how people started to use fire.B. It is an Australian who started a fire.C. We know how people began to use fire.D. Nobody knows how to make a fire.6.

People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort. In 1191, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a river around it to keep out the enemies. Over the years,the number of buildings around the castle grew. By l350,the castle no longer needed a river. The Louvre became a palace home for France kings and queens.During time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When FrancisⅠ became king of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo Da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s“Mona Lisa”is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre become a public museum, just as it is now.

甘肃省武威第二中学高一英语上学期期末考试试题(无答案)
武威二中2015—2016学年第一学期期末考试高一英语试题第I卷第一部分阅读理解(每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now havea much deeper meaning.1. From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. were poor but somewhat content (满足的)C. dreamed of having a better lifeD. lived a different life from their forefathers2. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs ?A. The frogs were easy money.B. They needed money to buy medicine.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.3. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. There were too many insects.C .The visitors brought in diseases. D. The pesticides were overused.4. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text ?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.BIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet “fair weather friends”. They will be with you if you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and h e tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I c an be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fou rth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like.

AIf “colour”and “color”, “favourite”… Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they a re lazy?Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758- 1783). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16, 2008. After the Revolutionary War (1755- 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous (unreasonable), he wrote: “A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000- words dictionary in 1828 with his American- style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists (语言学家) believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography about Webster. “He at last got us united through our language.”1.According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of thefollowing Except _______A. dropping “u” in all the British wordsB. changing “centre” into “center”C. adding local wordsD. voicing his opinion2. When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?A. In 1758B. In 1783C. In 1800D. In 18283. Why did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?A. Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.B. Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristicsC. Because he wanted to achieve political freedomD. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK4. Which of the following words can best describe Noah Web ster’s work?A. InterestingB. BoringC. UnfinishedD. MeaningfulBTired of Working in Your Country"!With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages.

He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled-to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖).Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid(出价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled(敲槌)the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders. . . except one-the old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will.

Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.4. Which of the following is a good eating-habit?A. Going to school without any breakfastB. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time..C. Having at least one food from all four groups each meal.D. Having different food from all four food groups.5. The underlined word “dairy” in the second passage means _____.A. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterB. she shop that sells milk and butterC. a farm where cows are keptD. a place where milk products are made.6. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that _____.A. every person needs food to grow wellB taking exercise can keep your body strongC. the right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyD. enough energy helps people think more quicklyCFriendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you,d like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship’because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken。

甘肃武威第二中学高一上学期期末英语试卷
2020-2021学年甘肃武威第二中学高一上学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 1.From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.A.worked very hard for centuriesB.were poor but somewhat content (满足的)C.dreamed of having a better lifeD.lived a different life from their forefathers2.Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs ?A.The frogs were easy money.B.They needed money to buy medicine.C.They wanted to please the visitors.D.The frogs made too much noise.3.What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A.The crops didn't do well.B.There were too many insects.C.The visitors brought in diseases.D.The pesticides were overused.4.What can we infer from the last sentence of the text ?A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B.Health is more important than money.C.The harmony between man and nature is importantD.good old day will never be forgottenIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet“fair weather friends”. They will be with you if you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things Ilike. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend! 5.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A.understanding. B.honesty.C.reliability. D.a sense of humor.6.If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A.they will give you all that they have when you need helpB.you will be refused when you get into troubleC.you will become richD.you can be sure that you get real friends7.This passage mainly discuss ______ .A.the qualities of a friendB.where to choose friendsC.how to get along with friendsD.the importance of having a friendOne day, I was studying at home . Suddenly, there was a loud noise. I went out of my house to see what had happened .What I saw made me scared. A building in my neighborhood was on fire. Some people were using water to put out the fire; others were rushing towards the building to help put out the fire. The building had three floors. The fire started on the first floor. Soon, it spread (扩散) to the second floor. There were some people on the second floor at that time. Their lives were in danger. A few people jumped out of the window. Luckily, they only got small injuries. Those who were still on the second floor were just crying for help. The people outside didn’t kn ow how to help the people inside to get out.Firefighters (消防人员) arrived at last. They fought the fire bravely. Water pipes (管子) were used and a ladder was put near the second-floor window. Then the people inside were taken out by the firefighters. They were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital at once. Thanks to the firefighters, the people inside were saved and the fire was put out in the end,but many things, such as desk, pictures and clothes, were damaged.8.___________was on fire.A.The au thor’s roomB.A ladderC.A building in the author’s neighborhoodD.Only the second floor of the building9._____________put out the fire in the end.A.The firefighters and the people inside the buildingB.The people on the second floorC.The people in the streetD.The firefighters10.The people who jumped out of the window_____________.A.were seriously injuredB.diedC.were taken to the hospitalD.got small injuries11.How did the people who didn’t jump out of the window get out of the building? A.They were taken out by the firefighters.B.They climbed down a ladder by themselves.C.They walked out of the building after the fire was put out.D.They were taken out by doctorsAlthough it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet. Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles? That's what we looked like! Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze. However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful. Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She is very reliable and I knew I didn't need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were surprised by the view. We seemed to be able to see for miles. At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer. In the valleys colorful butterflies flew around us and we sawmany yaks and sheep eating green grass. At this point we had to change our caps, coats, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.12.From this passage we know it is___ when they had their bike trip.A.summer B.spring C.winter D.fall. 13.Where did they see yaks and sheep eating green grass?A.On the top of the mountain.B.In the valleys.C.Along the river.D.Halfway up the mountain14.What did they wear when they rode on the mountain?A.T-shirts and shorts.B.caps, coats, gloves and trousersC.long wool coatsD.down jacket(羽绒服)15.Why did the children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us?A.they felt it unbelievable.B.they felt it interesting.C.they felt it funD.they felt it curious二、完形填空I did very badly at school.

甘肃省武威二中2018届高三上学期第一次阶段性考试英语试卷【含答案】
武威第二中学2018届高三上学期第一次阶段性考试英语试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C和D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AIf “colour”and “color”, “favourite”… Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758- 1783). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16, 2008. After the Revolutionary War (1755- 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous (unreasonable), he wrote: “A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000- words dictionary in 1828 with his American- style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists (语言学家) believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography about Webster. “He at last got us united through our language.”1.According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of thefollowing Except _______A. dropping “u” in all the British wordsB. changing “centre” into “center”C. adding local wordsD. voicing his opinion2. When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?A. In 1758B. In 1783C. In 1800D. In 18283. Why did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?A. Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.B. Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristicsC. Because he wanted to achieve political freedomD. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK4. Which of the following words can best describe Noah Webster’s work?A. InterestingB. BoringC. UnfinishedD. MeaningfulBTired of Working in Your Country"!With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages.

The sign said:“Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍)your growth in this company passed away.

He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists (语言学家) believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua endall, who is woring on a biography about Webster. “He at last got us united through our language.”1.According to the passage, when he wored on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the followingEcept _______A. dropping “u” in all the British wordsB. changing “centre” into “center”C. adding local wordsD. voicing his opinion2.

The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away〞is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on themIn the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.4.“You r body has close relations with the food you eat.〞It really means that ______.A. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyB. what you eat has great effect on your healthC. your body is made up of the food you eatD. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel5. The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that ______.A. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our healthB. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruitsC. apples can take the place of doctorsD. an apple is a sure cure for illness6. In the modern western countries ______.A. people don’t want to pay more attention to their eatingB. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewingC. lots of people’s illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eating habitsD. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves7. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should ______.A. only eat an apple a dayB. eat properlyC. take as many vitamin pills as possibleD. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyCOne evening in November, Berlin received a telephone call from Mrs. Green. “Please, Dr Berlin, come to my house. I had 50,000 dollars on my desk and now it is gone.〞Dr Berlin arrived at Mrs. Green’s house at eight o’clock. First he asked Mrs. Green, “When did you see the money last〞“At seven o’clock. I put it on my desk in my living room. Then I went to wash my hair. I came back at seven thirty and the money was gone.〞“I see.〞Dr Berlin said. “Were you alone in the house〞“No. My sister’s son Jack is here, too.〞Then Dr Berlin and Mrs. Green went to Jack’s room.“Please, sit down,〞Jack said. Dr Berlin sat on the only chair in the room, and the chair was cold. He also saw some books on the ground near his feet.“What have you been doing this evening〞Dr Berlin asked.“I came home at six-thirty, and went right to my room. I’ve been sitting in that chair and reading all the evening. I never got up and I never left the room. Maybe somebody came into the house and took my aunt’s money.〞After hearing that, Dr Berlin was clear about who had takenthe money.8. When did Dr Berlin answer the phone from Mrs. GreenA. At 6:30B.

Jack had been really reading books all that evening.DIf you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many peopledo not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook.

The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water.A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions (说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time.Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily(不一定) better made. They do not always fit better.

Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite(相反)to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.5.

AWhat do you think of British people and American people? You might think that there are no differences between the people in the two countries. After all they speak the same language, don't they? But if you ask a British or an American person, the differences are quite great.What do British people think Americans are like? The British think Americans are very strange. They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. They are rich, and they only think about money. But the British do say that Americans are kind, friendly people.They are happy to help you if you are in trouble.What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money. They think Britain is the best country in the world. They look down upon other countries. But Americans say that the British are quite good workers. They are brave and honest. And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans. But when American and British people become friends, they usually find things are not as bad as they expected.1. What do you think of the differences between British and American people?A. Their differences are very small.B. The differences are very great.C. There are no differences between them.D. Some people think there are, but some people do not think so.2. What do the British think Americans are like?A. They are strange but friendly.B. They are poor.C. They are rich but unfriendly.D. They are happy in trouble.3. The American and British people usually get along quite well ____.A. when misunderstanding is caused between themB. once they become friendsC. after they fightD. when they help each otherBA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.4. Which of the following is a good eating-habit?A. Going to school without any breakfastB. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time..C. Having at least one food from all four groups each meal.D. Having different food from all four food groups.5. The underlined w ord “dairy” in the second passage means _____.A. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterB. she shop that sells milk and butterC. a farm where cows are keptD. a place where milk products are made.6. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that _____.A. every person needs food to grow wellB taking exercise can keep your body strongC. the right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyD. enough energy helps people think more quicklyCFriendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you,d like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a fr iendship’because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a brokenfriendship.7. This passage mainly deals with ________.A. the importance of friendshipsB. the advantages of friendshipsC. the problems with friendshipsD. the meaning of friendships8. According to the author, problems with friendships may appear when ________.A. one is honestB. one is selfishC. one is aloneD. one is too busy9 . T o the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people’s friend is _______.A. to treat your friends as fairly as possibleB. to give your friends whatever you haveC. not to hurt your friends’ feelingsD. not to think of your own needs any more10. The paragraphs following the passage may be about how to_______.A. make friendsB. treat friends correctlyC. keep friendsD. deal with friendship issuesDA farmer grew some vegetables in his garden.

At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, "Are these yours?" "Yes, sir." the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地). "Have you killed the man?" "No, no, sir." the farmer said in a hurry.

I once asked a cabbie to describe his life to me and he didn't stop talking until I arrived home half an hour later. He told me many interesting stories and this is one of them: “Some very strange things happen late at night. The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had a little dog with her. When we got to her house she found that she'd lost her key. So, I waited in the cab with the dog while she climbed up the window.”“I waited … and waited … After half an hour of ringing the bell I deci ded to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb up the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought that I was trying to rob the house!

The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearbytown of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,”a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会)will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.64. This passage is probably taken from ______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper65.

What is the best title for this passage?A. A Big FloodB. Ternang Is in DangerC. Over 10,000 People Are HomelessD. Great Help Is NeededDThere have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today---the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have made as much effect as the wheel. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore(开发) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big partof our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a wish to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.68. The first great invention ever known was ______.A. the cameraB. the wheelC. the electric lightD. the radio69. Which of the following was turned out nearly at the same time with the jet plane?A. The radio.B. The camera.C. Nylon.D. The helicopter.70. This passage talks mainly about ______.A. how inventions affect (影响) people's lifeB. when electric light was inventedC. which country made the first step into spaceD. why cars were very important71. We can safely come to the conclusion that people's life will be made even betterthrough ______.A. new discoveriesB. greater inventionsC. better ways to help people get over diseasesD. all of aboveEAs we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wishthat the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another thing which money cannot buy.
