APopular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This is started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.21. This passage mainly talks about ____.A. American musicB. American popular musicC. three sorts of musicD. popular music singers22. The first three paragraphs mainly tell us ____.A. that Americans dislike popular musicB. that popular music is an important kind of music in AmericaC. how to become an international star as a pop singer in AmericaD. popular music in America is what every teacher like23. In the USA, as a pop singer, if you want to become a national star, you’ll have to ____.A. earn a lot of moneyB. make a radio stations buy your CDs or tapesC. make many CDs or tapesD. make young people love you and what you singBThen comes the July, and with it are examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to the park to play.The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.Now, why do children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that make the seaside what it is.24. Summer holidays start _______.A. with JulyB. as soon as the examinations are overC. in mid----JuneD. in August25. After the examinations, all the pupils leave for home -_____.A. by train onlyB. by carC. by bikeD. by either train or car26. The summer holidays last ______.A. nearly three monthsB. more than three monthsC. one and a half monthsD. about two months27. Children like the seaside so much, because they can ____.A. swim in the seaB. play with the sandC. take a sunbathD. do all of the aboveCWhy do we like drinking water from plastic bottles（塑料瓶）? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy — you cancarry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we reused all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t reuse much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you reuse it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.28. What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage?A. It’s healthy.B. It’s clean.C. It’s easy.D. It’s expensive.29. Plastic products are made from .A. energyB. oilC. rubbishD. plants30. Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?A. To reuse them.B. To make a piggy bank.C. To make a plant pot.D. To drop them into the river.31. The underlined part in this passage tells us “ ”.A. To make a different life, you’d better go outside.B. To look different, you’d better wear green clothes.C. To protect the environment, you can do something.D. To go green, you should use plastic products.DMark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.Many other companies have been rumored(谣传) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He lives for his dream even at the very beginning. He knows this. Maybe he was smart. Now Facebookis rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15 billion dollars if Mark decided to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.32.
