ASince the beginning of history, people have played games. Children in one country may play games that are quite different from those played anywhere else in the world. Here are some interesting games that you and your friends can try.The Mouse Game (The Philippines)In this game, a piece of string is attached to the player's hand. One part of the string represents the "cat" while the other part is the "mouse". The objective of the game is for the cat to catch the mouse and for the mouse to escape just in time. It teaches you to focus and move your fingers fast. Piñata (Mexico)A piñata is a colorful container made from papers and filled with sweets and toys. Children are blindfolded and take turns at trying to hit the piñata, which is usually suspended(悬挂）on a tree or pole. When someone breaks open the piñata, the children run to get the treats. This game improves your sense of direction.Help (China)Chasing games are popular all around the world. In China, one player is chosen to be the chaser and runs after the other players until someone is caught. No equipment is required to play this game, but it helps to run fast and have a loud voice for shouting.Doorkeeper (Afghanistan)In the villages of Afghanistan, there is no limit to the number of players who can take part in the game. A small rubber ball is all you need to play the game. It helps to have quick reactions and focus your eyes on the ball because you need to prevent the ball getting into the net.1.Which game offers players material rewards in the end?A. The Mouse Game.B.

The French people adored her as much as she loved France. So when World War Il threw France into great danger, she decided to do whatever she could to help the nation that had given her so much.In 1940, when armed German troops marched into Paris, some French people established a secret alliance (同盟），known as the French Resistance. The group worked for the defense of France by assisting the European and American armies in the fight against the Germans.As a member of the Resistance, Baker applied herself devotedly to the cause. The tasks she took up proved to be valuable. She collected coded messages written on her sheets of music and then relayed them to other members. At the same time, taking advantage of her fame, Baker provided shelter and goods for the Resistance members. It would have been dangerous if the Germans had found them.Baker's final task was critical. She made it her mission to entertain German politicians and army members, whom she lured (引诱）in with her promises of a good show. While pleasing them with her singing and dancing, Baker, equipped with a small notebook at these concerts, listened for and wrote down details about the war. She then sorted the details and turned in reports to the Resistance.Some thought Baker's fame would be a problem. The Germans knew who she was, but they didn't think she was smart enough to work for the Resistance. So she could get information from the Germans easily, which helped the Resistance and the French army save lives and win the war. Baker had a big influence on the Resistance's work. When she died, the army and the French people held a special ceremony to honor her contribution.4.What happened when the Germans entered Paris?A. The French Resistance was set up.B. They sent messages in secret code.C. Armed French soldiers defeated them.D. They were attracted by Baker's music.5.What was an important task for Baker?A. Entertaining many fans.B. Writing messages in code.C. Giving reports to the Resistance.D. Providing shelter for the homeless.6.What do we know about Baker in paragraph 5?A. Her secret was exposed.B. Her work was recognized.C. Her music won many awards.D. Her fame caused a big trouble.7.Which of the following words best describe Baker?A. Stubborn and tough.B. Generous and creative.C. Determined and proud.D. Courageous and clever.CThrowing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in othe r parts of the world face food shortages and are starving. It’s a shocking fact that a third of the world’s food is wasted each year, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supermarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food. After all, they do desert stuff that is past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell fruits or vegetables that are in the wrong shape or look damaged. They’ve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as "buy one and get one free".But the biggest culprit for creating food waste is us human beings. In Europe, an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites.In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem. She moved from Russia many years ago and was amazed to see the abundance of food available in the supermarkets. But despite so much availability, she found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away.She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in bulk(大量）so that people bought only what they needed. She produced a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped create a significant 25% reduction in food waste.Clearly, we need to think twice when we buy something in supermarkets or online, and whenwe're at home we should make the most of the food we have —using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our remaining food with our friends and neighbors.8.Why are supermarkets to blame for food waste?A. They store spare items.B. They damage bad stuff.C. They display new arrivals.D. They hold sales promotion.9.What does the underlined word "culprit" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Benefit.B. Demand.C. Cause.D. Challenge.10.What do we know about Selina Juul?A. She contributed to reducing food waste.B. She made an extraordinary discovery.C. She was a pioneer in cooking leftovers.D. She focused on the availability of food.11.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A. Start sharing extra food.B. Switch to online shopping.C. Increase the varieties of food.D. Improve our cooking methods.DDifferences in time zones complicate international phone calls. But even more important are different concepts of time and approaches to time in different cultures.People from the USA as well as other North Americans believe "Time is money". This value of time is rooted in their ancestors. Early in the 17th century, their ancestors arrived on the Atlantic coast, a new, undeveloped land. To survive in the tough environment, they had to struggle day and night. Time meant so much to them that they had not even one second to waste. After decades of struggle, they developed the value of efficient use of time and passed it down. Thus far, the Americans are still eager to finish things quickly and are impatient with too reflective (深思熟虑的）people.In some countries, the American work style of speeding everything up has no significance. In the Arab East, the more important you are, the faster service you get. Close relatives take absolute priority; non-relatives are kept waiting. In the Middle East, a deadline, which is often established to show the degree of urgency or importance of work, will do nothing but stop the Middle Easterners from working, because they consider it rude and overly demanding.Another aspect reflecting different concepts of time is the classification of monochronic time(单向记时制）and polychronic time (多向记时制）by Edward T. Hall. People from monochronic cultures, such as the Germans, the Austrians, the Swiss and the Americans, do only one important thing at a time. In polychronic cultures, people such as Arabs, Asians and Latin Americans take an entirely opposite approach. They do several things at once. Time commitments, such as deadlines, schedules, are taken rather casually and changed often and easily. Miscommunication will arise when people from the two cultures contact. Charlies Hawkins, a U.S. teacher, told me that many a time his appointments with Indians were interrupted, not only by private phone calls, but also by long conversations with other people and even the neighbor’s children, which displeased and even annoyed him.12.Why did the early settlers of North America believe "Time is money"?A. They got adjusted to finishing work ahead of time.B. They got the idea from their former generations.C. They couldn't work with slow-minded people.D. They had to work efficiently to survive.13.What can be concluded from paragraph 3?A. Deadlines will make American people angry.B. In the Arab East, you'd better speed everything up.C. Middle Easterners can't deal with demanding work.D. People from the Arab East attach importance to relation.14.What can we learn about people from monochronic cultures?A. They tend to interrupt others constantly.B. They can't tolerate lateness or interruptions.C. They are more likely to change their schedules.D. They like to schedule several activities at the same time.15.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The importance of the diversity of culturesB. The relationship between efficiency and cultureC. Different time values in different culturesD. Monochronic culture and polychronic culture二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
