Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA．He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes i n our town.” One of them said to him.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
5．Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?______.
A．Parents bring up children.
B．Parents give love and care to children.
C．Parents educate children to be good persons.
D．Parents pass away before children grow up.
6．What do you think “florists” do?______.
A．They sell flowers. B．They make and sell bread.
C．They offer enough room for having family parties. D．They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
7．What do you know from the passage?________.
A．Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.
B．Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.
C．Not all the children respect their parents
D．Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.
When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and the star of the family--and felt happy about her achievements.
But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a baby before."
Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.
In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.
Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.
In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that
no friendship should survive.____________________________________________Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?
8．When Joan's son was born, Sally .
A．felt very happy B．felt not delighted
C．moved away D．admired her a lot
9．What happens to children's desire to compete with their brothers and sisters?
A．It sometimes will disappear when they grow up.
B．It will never disappear throughout life.
C．It will improve their relationships when they grow up.
D．It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.
10．Why does the author's sister often tell her when she's put on weight?
A．Because she wants the author to go on a diet.
B．Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook.
C．Because she wants to make fun of the author's weight.
D．Because she wants to be honest with the author.
11．The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters . A．live near each other, they still have competitions
B．live away from each other, they stop their competitions
C．live together, they often think of ending their competitions
D．live within a big family, they often try to end their competitions
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied circumstances. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population,it is likely that
their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
12．.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?
A．To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B．Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D．Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
13．It is suggested in this passage that________.
A．close relations usually have similar intelligence
B．unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
C．the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
14．In Para. 1, the word "circumstances" means________.
A．intelligence B．life
C．environments D．housing
15．The best title for this article would be________.
A．On Intelligence
B．What Intelligence Means
C．We are Born with Intelligence
D．Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
二、七选五

Dear David,
I’m writing to tell you that the Drama Festival has been scheduled to take place at 2 o’clock pm May 4th in the Lecture Theatre of our school. It’s a tradition that the Drama Festival is held every year in order to increase the students’knowledge about drama as well as their interest in it. Above all, it’s intended to combine what the students have learnt and their after-class activities effectively. All the classes will give wonderful performances which are based on the classics of their textbooks. Thus, there must be a lot of fun at the festival and you are welcome to join with us.
I’m looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Lihua
