The Black Country refers to an area of England in the west Midlands —in the centre of England. It is to the north and west of the city of Birmingham, but, very importantly, does not include Birmingham. The Black Country includes the boroughs (自治城镇) of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and the City of Wolverhampton, with the town of Dudley being referred to as the Black Country's capital. The population of the area is about 1.2 million people.
So, why is it called the Black Country? In the 19th century, the area was heavily industrialised. The iron and steel factories all used local coal to fire their furnaces
(熔炉). And this produced a lot of black smoke. People also say that the name came from all the black coal that appeared on the surface of the ground. In fact, there was so much coal that the soil looked black.
The Black Country is mostly famous for its association (联系) with the Industrial Revolution (between the 18th and 19th centuries). The Black Country Living Museum in Dudley recreates life in the Black Country in the early 20th century, and is a popular tourist attraction. The writer JRR Tolkien is also associated with the area, and his parents were from Birmingham. It is said that the land of Mordor from The Lord of the Rings novels is based on the heavily industrialised Black Country area. In “Elvish” language “Mor-Dor” means “Dark Land” and in the novels it is sometimes referred to as “The Black Country”.
24. What do we know about the Black Country?
A. Sandwell is its capital.
B. It is made up of four areas.
C. Two million people are living there.
D. It is in the northwest of Birmingham.
25. The Black Country got its name probably because of its _____.
A. black coal
B. black soil
C. black buildings
D. black people
26. What connects JRR Tolkien with the Black Country?
A. The language he speaks.
B. The place he was born.
C. The books he wrote.
D. His family.
27. What's the purpose of the text?
A. To discuss.
B. To educate.
C. To warn.
D. To introduce.

Pierre and Marie Lucien lived in Florida in a small two-bedroom apartment. Their monthly rent was $650. Pierre was a computer programmer and Marie was a homemaker. They dreamed about having their own home, but Marie wanted to stay at home with the children when they were small. When their son entered first grade, Marie got a job as a school bus driver. They were finally able to save money and in two years, they had $12,000 in the bank.
They wanted a home in a town with good schools for their children and one that was close to their jobs. They spoke to a real estate agent (房地产经纪人) and she suggested that their first step was to get a mortgage. By doing this, they would know how much they could afford to spend on a house. So, they spoke to six banks about mortgages. They chose the bank with the best mortgage plan. The bank checked their jobs and two weeks later gave them a mortgage of up to $125,000.
The real estate agent showed the Luciens over thirty houses. They finally found a home that they liked. It was $120,000. They offered the sellers $115,000, and they agreed on $117,000. The house was in a small town with good schools. The commute (通勤) was about fifteen minutes to Marie's job and twenty minutes to Pierre's job. The house had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living room. It didn't have a dining room, but it had a large eat-in kitchen. There were a few problems, too. It was on a busy street and it didn't have a garage.
Finally, the Luciens paid $7,000 for a down payment (首付). They decided on a 30-year mortgage on the $110,000. On the day of the closing, Pierre and Marie, the real estate agent and the owners of the house were all present. The closing only took an hour. When they were finished, Pierre and Marie shook hands with everyone. Then, they walked out of the door with the keys to their new home.
28. Before working as a school bus driver, Marie _____.

D. It was in a quiet neighborhood of Florida.
31. We may infer from the end of the text that the Luciens would be _____.
A. very angry
B. rather proud
C. quite happy

My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practiced about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that
makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I've worn prosthetics (假手).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band —not because it was a high school band and I'm only in seventh grade, but probably because my body is different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn't even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my mp3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, OK, I can get through today.
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are to a measure. I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of
the other kids. It's a normal problem that we musicians share. When I'm with the band, I don't feel as different as I do in other situations. It's just another way that music
makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
32. In what way is Sara different from other kids?
A. There's something wrong with her body.
B. She knows how to play many instruments.
C. She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
D. She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
33. When invited to join the marching band, Sara _____.
A. said no at first
B. had no idea what to do
C. followed the instructor's advice
D. believed that she would make it
34. How does Sara probably feel when she's with the band?
A. Bored.
B. Relaxed.
C. Successful.
D. Afraid.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A high school band
B. A young drummer
C. The music of me
D. My magic hands

Five tips for dealing with your boss!
Do you have the best boss in the world? Or the worst? Either way, you need to know how to deal with him / her if you want to be happy and successful at work. Here are our top tips.
Ask
There's a saying in English: “If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.”Do you want a raise or a holiday? 36 Yes, sometimes it's scary (令人害怕的), but it'll
be easier if you plan what you're going to say first.
37
Work can be stressful (有压力的). But always remember to keep your cool when dealing with your boss. If you stay calm, you'll earn their respect. If you're unhappy about something, wait until you've calmed down before speaking to him or her.
Get it in writing
If your boss promises you something (like a raise or a holiday), ask for it in writing. That way you'll have a paper trail. 38
Understand your boss
Every boss has a different management style. Is yours a micro-manager or are they
hands-off? Are they organised or disorganised? 39 Understand their style so you can decide how best to work with them.
Get along well with your boss
You see your boss a lot. Almost as much as you see your family! So try to stay on good terms with him or her. 40
A. Do what you say you'll do
B. Learn to control your feelings
C. Are they a good or bad communicator?
D. You won't get it if you don't ask your boss.
E. You should tell your boss when you've made a mistake.
F. If they suddenly “forget” what they said, you may take it out.
G. If the relationship breaks down, your job will be even more stressful.

A
The Hash House Harriers is an unusual international running and social club. Runs are organized, which are followed by a trip to a public house afterwards for a social get-together. The run is a fun and exhilarating event. A group of people known as the “hares”lay a trail (a long line of marks). They often use flour (面粉) or toilet paper to mark the trail. The “hounds”are the runners. They must follow the trail and try to get to the end. Sounds easy? It can be, but it can also be difficult as the hares may also lay a false trail. Sometimes the hares leave a few minutes before the hounds and the hounds' task is to get hold of the hares before they lay the trail.
There are now more than 1,500 Hash House Harrier groups, with one in most of the major cities around the world. Hashing began in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), in 1938. A group of men from the UK, Cecil Lee, Frederick “Horse” Thomson, Ronald “Torch” Bennett, and Albert Stephen Ignatius Gispert would meet after work on Monday evenings to run. They often followed paper trails through the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. After the run, the tired runners would often go to a public house for a few drinks.
Later, they put their society on the official list. Gispert suggested the name “Hash House Harriers”. The name came from the Selangor Club Annex where they had lived. It was known locally as the Hash House, because of its boring, unimaginative food. The word “hash” means many different things mixed together without any order.
There are many traditions involved with hashing. They include no pointing with
fingers —you have to use your elbows (肘子), no using real names —you have to use nicknames (绰号), and no using recently-bought shoes. The traditional symbol of hashing is the outline of a foot with the words “On-On” written on it, which is what hashers shout when they have found the trail.
1. What does the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragra ph 1 probably mean?
A. Important.
B. Exciting.
C. Common.
D. Serious.
2. What is the task during the hashing?
A. The hares follow a false trail.
B. The hounds mark the trail.
C. The hounds catch the hares.
D. The hares find the public house.
3. What do we learn about the creators of hashing?
A. They worked in a public house.
B. They were British men in Malaysia.
C. They often ran on weekend evenings.
D. They were leading 1,500 hashing groups.
4. What was the club named after?
A. A kind of food.
B. A type of sport.
C. A man.
D. A place.
5. What should you do to follow the hashing traditions?
A. Wear old shoes.
B. Use fingers to point.
C. Give hashers new nicknames.
D. Write “On-On” on your shoes.
B
Three divers enter a hole leading to a water-filled cave (洞穴) on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and
about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a person's head). Other bones lay nearby.
The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the find. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull
belonged to someone who lived in the last ice age. At the ice age's height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.
“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea levels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering
the remains.
Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at
its watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.
Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that she's a direct ancestor (祖先) of present-day Native Americans.
Naia's DNA also matches with people native to Siberia, a part of Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in Alaska during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the Americas. And Naia proves how far south
they went. (Mexico is a country to the south of the US.)
In 2014 the scientists decided to bring up Naia's skull from the cave to protect it
from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.
6. What do we learn about the skull?
A. It lay under a basketball court.
B. It was discovered by three scientists.
C. It was left alone in the cave.
D. It drew the government's attention.
7. When did Naia probably live?
A. Before the last ice age ended.
B. Before the last ice age started.
C. After the last ice age ended.
D. At the beginning of the last ice age.
8. Why was the skull studied in the cave for several years?
A. It was against the law to take it out.
B. The temperature was fine in there.
C. Scientists tried to protect it.
D. It would help scientists study the cave.
9. Who were Naia's distant ancestors?
A. Early humans in Greece.
B. Early humans in Siberia.
C. Early humans in Alaska.
D. Early humans in Mexico.
10. What is the text mainly about?
A. The real size of a human skull.
B. A famous Mexican archaeologist.
C. An important archaeological find.
D. The great influence of ice ages.
