Dad is a liar(说谎者) certainly. He never tells the truth about anything bad, or anything that he thinks is bad to me, even though I‟ve told him that I don‟t 16 hearing these things.He‟s the 17 man I have ever met, who never hurts others, as well as the cruelest man, for he‟s always hard on himself. Every time I phoned home from college and asked Dad how his 18 was getting on, he would always reply, “Oh, couldn‟t be better!” When I asked my mum the same question on the phone, 19 , she honestly told me every 20 with Dad‟s business. I didn‟t blame Dad for his 21 . Instead I showed concern for him.Dad is a miser(吝啬鬼), undoubtedly. I hardly see Dad wear 22 clothes. In fact , his closet is half empty. Even in this half, two-thirds is occupied by Mum‟s clothes and the other one-third 23 him. I begged him to buy some new clothes, but he simply shook his head, “The old clothes are still good enough.” Were they ? I saw holes in them!It tore my heart up when I saw Dad cough terribly with his hand covering his mouth. When the pains became very serious, he 24 took some medicine.So it surprised 25 when the day came that Dad got sick. He was lying in bed, and all the family gathered around him. I knelt by his bedside , tears filling my eyes.Dear Dad, you‟ve been pushing yourself too hard, which you should not have. Iknow I might as well expect a river to flow backward as hope to take you out of working so hard.16. A. mind B. suggest C. enjoy D. allow17. A. cleverest B. strongest C. biggest D. kindest18.

Deep Sea FishingBIn the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don‟t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don‟t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自来水) before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（续杯）.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving(一份) in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can‟t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you‟re taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.28. Which statement is true?A. American people like sitting with people they don‟t know.B. You may find bread and coffee is free.C. American people never sit with people they don‟t know.D. American people won‟t light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same tablemind their smoking.29. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?A. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” for their dogs.B. They leave the food on the table and go away.C. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy the food later.D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.30. What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?A. Customers often add tips to their check.B. Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.C. People don‟t need to pay tips .D. The price of the meal usually includes the tip.CHave you ever wondered?1.Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon (大气现象) known as the jet stream (气流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (= above sea level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite. 2.What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other buildings float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. …Turning off‟ gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (= top surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.31. What information can we get from the first passage?A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.B. Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind.C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.32. The underlined word “shoot” in the 2nd paragraph means “_________”.A. send forB. move quicklyC. come outD. grow quickly33. It can be known that without gravity _________.A. buildings and other structures would float awayB. trees and buildings would not so easily fly offC. something around your head would not float awayD. everything outside buildings would fly off into space34. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. It takes seven hours to travel from London to New York.B. The earth is moving at a high speed.C. Things on the earth will float away if there‟s no gravity.D. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line.35. Where can we read this passage?A. In a research paper.B. In a short story.C. In a travel magazine.D. In a studen t‟s bookDCollege students often hear about the “freshman fifteen”. What does it mean? Youmay wonder.It means the fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms students might gain(获得) in their first year of college.Many young men and women put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools have studied it. Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, has found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks. That is almost two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate(比率), how long before they put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year.And why do so many freshmen gain weight? The answers listed by experts are not so surprising. The freshmen gain weight because it‟s the first time for college kids to enjoy complete control over their lives. They may choose to eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. For example, college students often eat foods high in fat. After all, there are no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just … busy. Also, freshmen often use food to relax their mind, they will overeat when they have food as they have college pressures to deal with.This may be short-lived(短暂的), but the weight gain should not be overlooked(忽视). Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the beginning. Or even worse, they may carry the extra weight around for years.36. What does the “freshman fifteen” mean?A. The first fifteen days at college.B. The freedom first-year college students enjoy.C. The fifteen pounds first-year college students gain.D. The fifteen pounds first-year college students lose.37. Some freshmen often overeat to .A. give themselves more energyB. gain extra weightC. taste junk foodD. take pressures off their mind38. How many reasons are given in Paragraph 4 for students‟ weight gain?A. One.B. Two.C. Four.D. Five.39. What does the pronoun “This” in the last paragraph refer to(所指) ?A. Weight.B. Freshman fifteen.C. Pressure.D. Overeating.40. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. “freshman fifteen” may have long-term effect on college studentsB. weight gain is nothing serious for freshmenC. “freshman fifteen” is not a common problemD. “freshman fifteen” is a problem hard to preventETwenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It‟s nothing,” I told her. “I just try t o treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you‟re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It‟s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I‟m in no hurry,” she said. “I‟m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don‟t have any family left. The doctor says I don‟t have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she‟d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,” I‟m tired. Let‟s go now.” We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”41.
