（共26分，每小题2分）TennisBaseball Baseball, the national sport of the US, comes from an old English game calledEngland still play today, but the American game is more complex(的BilliardOver 47. When did tennis come to Britain?A. 800 years ago.B. 600 years ago.C. 400 years ago.D. 200 years ago.48. Which country has baseball as its national sport?A. England.B. Spain.C. Japan.D.The US.49. Which of the following started in England?A. Tennis.B. Billiard.C. Voll eyball.D. Basketball.BGuide dogs are an accepted part of everyday life, but what about guide horses? There are really such useful animals, at least in the US.The animals are miniature horses, no more than 86 cm high at the shoulders, like big toys. They are well trained, just as guide dogs are (including house training). They go on public transport, including planes, with their owners and into buildings—if necessary wearing specially made shoes to avoid falling down on floors—but they sleep outside. They might be chosen in preference to a guide dog because the owner is afraid of dogs or wants an animal that will live longer.According to Michigan student Mona Ramouni, it’s not right to have a dog inside the house for some religious (宗教的) reasons. Ramouni, who is blind, says her guide horse Cali has changed her whole world. “She has made it possible for me to do anything I want to do.”50. What are guide horses like?A. Smaller than usual.B. Stronger than usual.C. Faster than usual.D. Cleverer than usual.51. Which of following cannot guide horses do?A. Go on streets.B. Get on planes.C. Work in houses.D. Sleep in houses.52. Why does Mona Ramouni need a guide horse?A. She is old.B. She is young.C. She is blind.D. She is deaf.CYou’re buying a used car, moving into a new house, or deciding which doctor should treat your illness. These are times when you need to get directly to the core (核心) of an important matter.Asking general questions gets little valuable information and may even result in unreal answers, says Julia Minson, a visiting scholar in decision sciences at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. The best way, says Minson, is to ask a lot of questions that discover there are problems.Let’s say someone is selling a used iPod. An example of a general question is “What can you tell me about it?” A positive-assumption (正面推测) question is “There aren’t any problems with it, right?” But a negative-assumption question, such as “What problems have you had with it?”will get the most h onest answer, found Minson and her team.In a study, 87% of the sellers warned the buyers to problems when asked a negative-assumption question, while 59% of those did the same thing to a positive-assumption one.When you want the truth, you have to ask for it. What problems does this car have? What are the worst parts of this job? How many people with my kind of illness have been successfully treated? Your questions should communicate that you are sure there will be difficulties and that you want to know about them.53. What can we do if we want the truth, according to the passage?A. Ask for it ourselves.B. Talk with honest people.C. Study it ourselves.D. Do some experiments.54. What kind of questions has the best result?A. General questions.B. Positive-assumption questions.C. Careful questions.D. Negative-assumption questions.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Find Honest PeopleB. How to Talk with OthersC. How to Get an Honest AnswerD. How to Avoid Being CheatedDResearchers have recently discovered how to make families work more successfully. A surprising idea has appeared: the single most important thing you can do for your family, it seems, is to develop a family story.I first heard this idea in the mid-1990s from Marshall Duke, a professor at Emory University. Duke was studying stories in families when his wife, a children’s learning specialist, made a discovery: “The students who know a lot about their families will do better when they face challenges (挑战),” Sara said.Interested, Duke set out to test her conclusion. He and Emory workmate Robyn Fivush developed a method called the “Do You Know?”degree that asked children to answer 20 questions such as: Do you know where your grandparents grew up? Do you know where your mum and dad went to high school? Do you know about an illness or something really terrible that happened in your family?Duke and Fivush asked those questions to members of four dozen families in 2001. They then compared the children’s results with a group of psychological (心理学的) tests the children had taken and reached a conclusion that agreed to Sara’s theory. The more children knew about their families’histories, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-respect, and the more successfully they believed their families worked from generation to generation (代代传承).“We were blown away,” Duke said. The researchers mentioned the children after the terrible events of September 11, 2001. “Once again,” Duke said, “the ones who knew more about their families proved to be stronger.”Why does knowing where her grandmother went to school help a child overcome something terrible and difficult? Duke said that children who have the most self-confidence have what he calls “a strong intergenerational self”. They know that they come from something bigger than themselves.Duke suggested that parents do the same activities with their children again and again. Any kind of activities work to teach the sense of history: holidays, vacations, big family get-togethers, even a drive to the shop. “These traditions become part of your family,” Duke said.Years of research have shows that most happy families also communicate successfully, but it’s not simply a matter of talking through problems. Talking also means telling a positive (正面的)story about yourselves. When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter (章) to their life story that shows them overcoming the difficulty. This skill is veryimportant for children when they are growing up.The bottom lines: if you want a happier family, create, refine andretell the story of your family’s best moments and your relations’ abilityto overcome difficulty. That act alone may prove the fact that yourfamily will thrive (兴旺) for many generations to come.56. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Happy children are usually brought up in happy families.B. Our family is the most important place to teach children.C. There are many things for the young to learn from the old.D. Family history plays an important part when children grow up.57. What can the “Do you know?” degree tell us?A. What relation in one’s family is.B. What story one’s family has had.C. How much one knows his family.D. How much one loves his family.58. The underlined sentence “We were blown away” in the passage may mean “______.”A. We were surprised very muchB. We were deeply movedC. We were .punished seriouslyD. We were completely lost59. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. The event of September 11, 2001 helped Duke draw his conclusion.B. Duke thinks that a strong intergenerational self is the most important..C. Duke and Sara’s research work led us to an unexpected conclusion.D. According to Duke, positive talks will add new chapters to one’s life.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

CMost of the things around you will be replaced or thrown away someday. Where will they go when they are thrown out? What kinds of waste will t hey create, and how will it affect the environmentMost of our crash goes to places called landfills. A LANDFILL is a low area of land that is filled with garbage（垃圾）.Most modern landfills are lined with a cover of plastic to keep dangerous liquids（液体）from polluting earth and ground water supply. The problem is that more than half of the states in this country are running out of places to landfill their garbage. Because of the unhealthy materials, landfills do not make good neighbors，and people don’t want to live near them. Many landfills are set in poor neighborhoods.The Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, New York, was the largest garbage landfill in the world. For years, people who live nearby complained about air and water pollution caused by the enormous pile of trash. They say that the smoke have made people sick. The landfill closed in April 2001.Now can a harmful waste—material that can pollute air, land, and water –be disposed of in a safe way.Another way to get rid of trash is to burn it. Trash is burned in an incinerator._ Because incinerators in operation can get rid of almost all of the trash, some communities would rather use incinerators than landfills. There is a problem, though. Leftover ash and smoke from burning trash may have dangerous chemicals, and even make it hard for some people to breathe. They can harm plants, animals, and people.You can help reduce（减少）waste by reusing bottles, batteries, and paper. You can also recycle newspaper, glass, and plastics t to provide materials for making other products.From recycled materials, many things are made. For example, from recycled paper we can get newspapers, boxes and so on. From recycled plastic we can get soda bottles, tables, and backpacks.53. Why don’t landfills make good neighbors?A. Because there are unhealthy materials in them.B. Because people prefer to live in the city center.C. Because landfills are not big enough for trash.D. Because most states are running out of places.54. What does the underlined word ―incinerator‖_probably mean?A. An area to collect trash.B. A machine to burn trashC. A metho d that is used to burn trash.D.A station that is run by selling trash.55. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. How Is Trash Burned?B. What Can Be Reused.C. Why Is Waste Dangerous?D. Where Does Garbage Go?Nearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, t hey are bored. Their little brother is kicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜点). Yet their parents are still eating and ta lking…and talking…and talking.―Be patient.‖ One parent says. ―We’ll have dessert soon.‖All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are ―family-friendly‖. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every pla y area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For oth ers, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.56. Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?A. Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.B. Because the dessert isn’t served in time.C. Because they can do nothing but wait.D. Because the food there isn’t delicious.57. What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?A. Children don’t like eating fancier food.B. Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.C. Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.D. People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.58. What conclusion can we draw from the research?A. It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good f ood and play areas.B. Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.C. Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.D. It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.59. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Cities need to help develop restaurant business.B. Children are supposed to be much more patient.C. Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.D. Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.朝阳CYou’re buying a used car, moving into a new house, or deciding which doctor should treat your illness.

A science report.D. A chemistry textbook.DImagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago.The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.―I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.‖ says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬埔寨).3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.―The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.‖The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢). He saysthe same–day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.Staples, an American store, is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology - experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.Bryan Jaycox requires $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.Mr Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today’s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.―With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. Y ou can actually create things that give value to the world.‖He says it’s no t just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.56. What can 3D printers do according to the passage?A. Come up with an idea.B. Draw on a piece of paper.C. Help users to spend less money.D. Turn an idea into a physical object.57. What does the underlined part mean in this passage?A. Make users’ life better.B. Make friends with users.C. Make 3D printers easier to use.D. Use 3D printers to make money.58. What can we infer from the passage?A. 3D printing is becoming popular in the world.B. There is no 3D printing busi ness in Cambodia.C. The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company.D. 3D printing plays the most important role in daily life.59. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The future of 3D printing in the world.B.

The 3D printing classes and services in different places.房山CSome people think that success is only for those with talent（才能）or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and situation s don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great talent, and that’s just what life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, what’s more, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable（难以承受的）pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.When you see people showing some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some unusual talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(着迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Continual, hard work won’t guarantee that you will get the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.53. What can we infer from the passage?A. Successful people enjoy doing all kinds of work.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. Successful people like to show their great skills.D. People will succeed in life if they set good goals.54.What does the word ―guarantee‖ in the last paragraph mean?A. keep upB. carry outC. look aheadD. make sure55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Having a goal is important to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.DIt is natural for young people, at times, to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained(抱怨) that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with trouble; that they talk too much about certain problems，and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relations. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt, when young.For example, young people like doing things without careful thinking：it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge(挑战). Older people worry more easily：most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.So my advice to you is this：when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask ahead of time.Young people often make their parents feel angry with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in singers and music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and singers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles make their parents feel angry, this gives them more enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you don’t obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did accept, it looks as if you are tricking（辜负）your own age group. But in that case, youare supposing that you are the underdog：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is not an active way of looking at things. It is natural enough，after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it doesn’t notice the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation(合作) can be part of the plan. You can make others, especially parents, respect you with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do.56. The writer is mainly talking to _________.A. parents of teenagersB. newspaper readersC. teachersD. teenagers57. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the teenagers’ complaints about their parentsB. the teenagers’ ability to deal with trouble in lifeC. the parents’ complai nts about their childrenD. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents58. The word ―underdog‖ in the 5th paragraph refers to a person who.A. keeps dogs as petsB. has little chance to succeedC. looks down upon othersD. likes to cheat his own age group59. We can infe r from the pa ssage thatA. teenagers can’t join adult society because they have their own cultureB. it is impossible for young people to get along well with older peopleC. it is true for older people to forget how they felt when they were youngD. older people often lead the way in clothes, hairstyles, singers and music顺义CA famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, ―Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.‖Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，―Johnny，you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.‖ The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，―Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.‖ And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s thepower of our belief and attitude toward children.53. The professor started his researchby _______.A. teaching the five children himselfB. asking the five children to find a new teacherC. telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeD. telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class54. The five average students became top students mainly because of ________.A. the professor’s studyB. the teachers’hard workC. the change in the teachersD. the change in the teachers’ attitude55. What does the passage mainly tell us？A. Attitude and belief can change a person.B. Only teachers can make you a top student.C. A professor’s study can help you score highest.D. If you want to get more，you should have new teachers.DSometimes people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese),grains (like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat in the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.56. What is the USDA in the passage?。

(共10分, 每小题2分)It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store in Boston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money—$2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in travelers checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引诱), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.While most people that read it felt surprised at the man's honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager from Virginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.Now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at what he is receiving for doing the right thing—Honesty, certainly pays off!64.Did Glen find money in the black bag?65.Who gave the bag back to the Chinese tourist?66.What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?67.How much money has been raised by now?68.What can we learn from Glen and Ethan?2. 朝阳Some students like to translate when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we don‟t really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we don‟t develop the necessary reflexes(反应力)needed to speak and understand a foreign language.It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation.Then how do you build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar? Can it be done? Of course! Here is some advice for you.Relax!No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details(细节).Context is your friend.What is context? It means the situation in which something happens and that helps you to understand it. We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.Memorize what you want to know.After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票员) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You maybe a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as “Did you say?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?” So that you can easily move the communication forward.Use body language.Use body language to go with your words when you begin to learn a second language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient(熟练的) in your second language, you will depend more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.64. Who does the writer write this passage for?65. What does the writer want us to do first when we speak English?66. How can we make good guesses about what is being said?67. When do we use body language according to the passage?68. What does the writer mainly tell us in this passage?3. 丰台If your home is like most others, you‟ve probably got a recycling bin in your kitchen. Good for you. That‟s the first step to recycling. But there are other things that both parents and kids, can do to make recycling work better.First, what kinds of rubbish bins are in the other rooms of your house? What about in your bedroom? You‟ve probably just got one rubbish bin where everything goes. But it‟s a good idea to place a special bin for recycling paper. Then, when it goes full, you can empty it into a larger recycling bin in the kitchen. You can also put a small recycling bin in the bathroom for any useless paper there.Before you throw an item into the recycling bin, stop and think if you can use that item again. Take plastic items that contain yoghurt, for example. After eating what‟s in them, you can clean them and store them in a cupboard, and later you can use them for storing another food item. You can do the same with the glass jars, too. You can also share your recycling advice with your neighbors.If you decide to put an item in the recycling bin, it‟s very important to follow this method. If it had food or drink in it, you must clean it before you put it in the recycling bin. It can‟t be recycled with food still in it. You should place the item under the running water for a few seconds to clean it. This saves time for the workers in the recycling center. Then they can use their time doing more important work.The last thing to remember is-don‟t give up! You mustn‟t just do recycling for a month and then return to your old habits. You can also continue to find other ways to recycle. So make recycling your new habit, and get others involved as well!64. Is it good for you to have a recycling bin in your kitchen?65. What can you do in the bathroom for any useless paper there?66. What should you do before you throw an item into the recycling bin?67. Why must you clean the item before you put it in the recycling bin?68. What is the passage mainly about?4. 石景山The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, …It‟s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.‟ Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, …She isn‟t exactly friendly.‟ Understatement is often used in unp leasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What‟s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atk inson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn‟t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.64. Is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?65. What does …understatement‟ mean?66. What do the British love to watch comedies about?67. How does Mr Bean make people laugh?68. What are the key points for people to understand British humour?5. 顺义When you step into a new environment, you must have a strong wish to fit in.

They have the head and body of a human and the tail of a fish. We also know that mermaids only exist in fairy tales. But where did all the stories about these creatures come from? If you have ever seen a manatee, then you might have an idea.Manatees, which are also called sea cows, are mammals(哺乳动物) that live in the sea. Since they are mammals, they have to swim up to the surface to breathe air. Many people believe that the story of the mermaid began with the ancient sailors who saw the manatees putting their heads out of the water to breathe. Because manatees are upright when they do this, it looks like they are standing. If a sailor saw a manatee doing this from far away across the sea, it is possible that the sailor would mistake the manatee for a creature that is half-human, half-fish.Mermaids are described as having very long hair. This is probably because manatees like to swim up to the surface of the water in areas where there is sea grass. Manatees eat all kinds of plants in the sea, including sea grass. The sea grass around the manatee‟s head when they eat could create a picture of long hair.Manatees also have powerful tails that are very similar to the fish-like tail of a mermaid. Thesailors probably watched manatees come up for air and then swim back below the surface, usingtheir paddle-shaped tails. This would explain why the sailors thought mermaids had fish-like tails.64. What are mermaids?65. Where do manatees live?66. Do manatees need to breathe air out of water?67. What do manatees eat?68. Why did the ancient sailors mistake manatees for mermaids?7. 门头沟Who help you most in your everyday life, families, charities, or friends? Don‟t forget about your neighbours! Neighbours help you more than anyone else in your daily life. So it is important to have good neighbours.What does it take to be a good neighbour? Here is some advice:Good fences(栅栏) make good neighbours. One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect a person‟s privacy(隐私). If you go rushing over as soon as new neighbours move in, they may think you are going to come over at all hours of the day, not respecting their privacy.It is always a good idea to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood. This can not only put you on good terms(关系和睦) with them, but will also be a kind of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out to work, they will think you respect them. If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for anything wrong going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in their hour of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand, it is good to offer your help. They will do the same if you are in trouble.In a word, if you respect a person‟s privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!64. Can you neighbour help you than anyone else in your daily life?65. Why is it always a good idea to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood?66. When is it good to offer your help?67. How can you be a good neighbour?68. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?8. 平谷In Japan, there are national festivals for girls and boys. These festivals are called Girl‟s Day and Boy‟s Day.Girl‟s Day is also called the Doll‟s Festival. The Japanese celebrate it on the third day of the third month. On this day, a girl‟s parents prepare a table in the best room in the house. They put a red cloth on the table. Then they put steps on the table. They arrange a set of fifteen special dolls on the steps. The dolls represent the royal family in ancient Japan.In the festival, many girls wear the traditional kimono(和服). They have parties with their friends and eat rice cakes and drink a special rice wine. The wine has no alcohol in it, so children can drink it. After the party, the family has a traditional dinner for the girls in the family.Two months after Girl‟s day, On May 5, the Japanese celebrate Boy‟s Day. Today they call it Children‟s Day.People fly banners(旗）on their houses. The banners are made of paper or cloth, and they look like fish. When the wind blows, the fish fill with air and seem to be swimming. These banners represent a type of fish called the carp. The carp is a strong and brave fish. It swims up the rivers with great difficulty and doesn‟t give up. People hope the boys will grow to be strong and brave like the carp.The iris is an important flower on Boy‟s Day because its leaves look like a sword. Japanese children are very happy on Girl‟s Day and Boy‟s Day, and they love these festivals for many reasons. But the biggest reason is because there is no school!64. Are there national festivals for children in Japan?65. When is the Girl‟s Day?66. What are the banners made of?67. Why do people fly banners of crap on their house on Boy‟s Day?68. What‟s the passage mainly about?9. 密云Have you ever complained(抱怨) why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you‟ll find that the whole world smiles to you.While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher‟s face when you did a good job?One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don‟t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better, so farmers will have a good harvest.Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure(失败) can‟t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let‟s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.64. What will you find if you see the world with your warm heart?65.

A strong body helps you be full of confidence.Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the da y to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you‟ve done.Get rid of (消除) fear Fear comes along with failure. But it’s easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.Pick up a hobby If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.64.Is confidence important in daily life?65.How many suggestions can help you to be more confident?66.Which can help you be more confident, speak in a low voice or speak loud?67.How can you encourage yourself?68.What‟s the passage mainly about?11. 海淀Ants may be very tinny, but they‟re serious eaters!

It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.Like Cochrane's, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by looking at what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, "I wish someone would invent something for..." Then you might notice situations or thingsin need of improvement. The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution to a problem by looking at it from a different angle thinking about it in a new way.Most inventions are not completely new. They do not come out of nowhere, but of things or ideas that already exist. (存在). And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention.This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?64. Can most people invent?65. When did Cochrane start to make the dishwasher?66. How can we often come up with a solution for a problem?67. What is the hardest part of inventing for inventors?68. What does the writer want to tell us?13. 怀柔At present, more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel? “To see more of the world.” many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually travel abroad in large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.Chinese people don‟t just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travelers.In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.The improv ement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don‟t have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world‟s second worst tourists.If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.64. What are more and more people crazy about at present?65. How many people traveled to another country in 2012?66. Where is shopping popular among Chinese travelers?67. Why do people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia in winter?68. What do Chinese people do when they travel abroad?14. 昌平Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students get passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver‟s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, maths, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, clothes making and other classes. In some schools students are asked to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports --- especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper,and photography and student government. (306)64. How many students are there in the typical American school?65. What do they do first when they arrive at school?66. What subjects must they study?67. What do they do after school?68. What can you learn about the American school life from the passage?15. 大兴British band “Duran Duran” is going to be the first pop group to perform online concerts on the online game Second Life.Second Life is an online 3-dimensional, digital world, which is imagined, created and owned by the players—people all over the world.It is thought that 370,000 computer game players worldwide have Second Life characters that exist in the Second Life world, on the Internet.Earlier this year, BBC Radio held music festivals and played an interview from inside the game.In May of 2006, it held a music festival in Scotland, but also created a festival inside the Second Life game so that people all over the world could take part in their computers.One of the members of the band, Nick Rhodes, told the BBC News website: “When I first saw Second Life a few months ago, I couldn‟t believe my eyes. When I started looking at the people on screen, talking, walking around and doing normal things, I thought this is somewhere between a strange TV show, a strange experience and a video game. I wanted “Duran Duran”to be part of it.”Each band member has a 3-dimensional person and it is hoped they will do their first online concert soon. The audience will be able to join in and react (反应) while the band is on stage.Rhodes said new technologies like Second Life will become more and more important in the music industry in the future.The number of people joining the Second Life is growing quickly. Some computer experts said it probably would be the …Next Big Thing‟ in the future.64. Is Second Life an online game?65. What did BBC Radio create inside the Second Life?66. What was Nick Rhodes‟ new idea?67. How will the band show their first concert online?68. What does the writer tell us in the last two paragraphs?16. 通州Have you heard the expression “You are what you eat”? Well, do you like who you are? If not, break some bad eating habits and feel better about yourself.Bad habit 1:Many people often eat packaged ( = in small bags) foods at their work places, such as frozen dumplings, rice rolls and instant noodles (方便面), which have lots of fat and calories (热量).The solution (解答): Read the instructions to find the healthiest foods that are low in salt and high in fiber (纤维). Also check to make sure they have ingredients (混合物) such as vegetables and grains (粮食). When possible, use packaged foods as part of a “home-cooked” meal. For ex ample, frozen dumplings with fresh vegetables are better than dumplings alone.Bad habit 2:People without breakfast don‟t have enough energy they need to get through the morning. Eating breakfast improves your attention, memory and feelings.The solution: Always keep a kind of quick foods like yogurt (酸奶). Or have a standing order at a breakfast place.Bad habit 3:It takes your body at least 20 minutes to “tell” your brain that yo u are full, so fast eaters usually eat more than people who eat slowly.The solution: Try to slow down. Try eating at least some of your meals without TV, hand phones or computers. Use a plate or bowl when you eat.Bad habit 4:。

Cling…Clang…Clank. From inside my apartment, I winced(皱起眉头) at the noise my parents were making as they sortedbottles and cans out on the balcony(阳台). I called to my35 in Chinese, ―How many do you have this time?‖―Eighthundred and six pieces, that’s $40.30!‖ she answered. I’d beenliving in my Los Angeles apartment for over four years whenmy parents came for a six-month visit from China. I’d 36 noticed that the plastic bottles and cans they’d collected on the road were worth 5 cents each. When their stay with us ended, I felt free，though I was 37 for environmental education in fact.By the time my daughter began school, I was expected to raise money for the school. I felt heavy pressure(压力). How could I work out the problem? That’s when it 38 me: how about uniting (结合) the two---- environmental education and raise money? I joined an organization called LACES. It had more than 1,600 students, parents and teachers. If my two elderly parents could 39 $300 in six months from recycling, why couldn’t we multiply(乘以) that number by at least 800? My team organized a day for students and parents to bring bottles and cans directly to school. We called it the Green for Green drive. The first one raised only $145. But we planned more drives. With each one, the numbers started to look 40 : $145...$400 (481)The more success we had, the more people 41 our team.Today, LACES teachers keep boxes in their classrooms for bottles and cans. Students collect recyclables and 42 them in boxes. Parents collect at their offices. LACES parents have told me that 43 they used to see litter, they see money. Since the LACES Green for Green program started in 2011, we have raised $15,500 for the school and recycled about 75,000 pounds of waste.I believe that our effort is 44 by the others in the community, and that the result is multiplied. I used to laugh at my parents’ recycling project during their visit here. Now I laugh at myself for getting the 45 from their clever ideas. They may never 46 anyone beyond their family, but their small effort has led to big change, one that inspires (激励) family, friends, children, and even strangers.35.
