The fridge will have a touch screen(触摸屏幕) where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. “Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,” says Daniel.“I wonder why a 1.9-meter man and 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters(柜台) of the same height,”Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines, says. “But times have changed.

Knowing his father's love through daily life.B. Getting a gift from his father.C. Helping his father with some work.D. Making his father happy.30.What is the main idea of this article?______A. Understanding the love of parents.B. Getting gifts from children.C. Feeling the love inside.D. Expressing your love to your families.BHave you ever heard someone use the phrase"once in a blue moon"?People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often.For example,someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy,but will eat chocolate"once in a blue moon".Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say"I visit the shore once in a blue moon."While many people use this phrase,not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue.This is just an expression.In fact,the phrase"blue moon"has to do with the shape of the moon,not the color.As the moon travels around the earth,it appears to change shape.We associate names with certain shapes of the moon.For example,when we can see a small part of the moon,it is called a crescent moon.A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail.When we cannot see the moon at all,it is called a new moon.When we can see the whole moon,it is called a full moon.Usually,there is only one full moon every month.Sometimes,however there will be two full moons in one month.When this happens,the second full moon is called a blue moon.Over the next 20years,there will only be 15blue moons.As you can see,a blue moon is a very rare event.This fact has led people to use the expression"once in a blue moon"to other very rare events in their lives.31.You can most probably read the passage in ______ .A. a science bookB. a story bookC. a history bookD. a writing book32.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase"once in ablue moon"?______A. Simon often tells jokes.He tells jokes once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise.He does exercise once in a blue moon.C.

Cindy hates to stay up,but she stays up every day.She stays up once in a blue moon.33.When does a blue moon happen in nature?______A. When the moon has a blue moon.B. When we can only see a small part of the moon.C. When we cannot see the moon at all.D. When there are two full moons in one month.34.How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?______A. Once a year.B. Less than once a year.C. More than once a year.D. At least twice a year.35.What does the underlined part"This fact"in the last paragraph refer to?______A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape.C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.C36.Lucky's House needs some things EXPECT ______ .A. foodB. moneyC. towelsD. animals37.Who was Mr.Joseph Brown?______A. He was an animal doctor.B.

Roberts plays the part of Elizabeth Gilbert, a woman who seems to have everything she wants in life—a husband who loves her, a good job,and even a comfortable house. What Gilbert learns, however, is that things aren't always as they appear to be.After she went through a painful marriage (婚姻),Gilbert decides to go and find her new life. All that she thought would bring her happiness in family life had failed to do so. "I used to have great passion for my life, and it's just gone," she says. To make the situation (情况)better, Gilbert sets off to spend a year travelling around the world.First, she goes to Italy. There she learns to truly enjoy the food and eat for pleasure. Then she goes on to India. There she finds out how powerful prayer (祈祷)can actually be for people. Finally, she stops at Bali, where discovers what true love really means. As the name suggests, Eat, Pray, Love completely delivers what it says.13 A.B.C.D.Elizabeth Gilbert is a .great actressmain character in the filmHappy mothersuccessful writer(1)A.B.C.D.What's the possible meaning of the underlined word "passion" in Paragraph 2?幻想感情感想热情(2)A.B.C.D.Gilbert decides to travel around because .she wants to relax herself and find a job in another countryshe finds that she doesn't like the peaceful life any moreshe has an unhappy marriage and wants to find her new lifeshe is attracted by delicious food and beautiful view around the world(3)A.B.C.What does Gilbert do during the travel?She learns to enjoy Indian food.She finds prayer is very powerful in India.She finds her true love in Italy.(4)三、阅读(共两节,满分45分)D.She eats, prays, loves and plays during her travelling in Bali.A.B.C.D.Which of the following is NOT true?Elizabeth Gilbert plays the role of Julia Roberts in the film Eat,Pray,Love.Gilbert's life seems to be great at first.Gilbert seems to be unhappy about life.Gilbert gets her passion for life again during her travel.(5)BRabbits are nice pets for older children and adults. These small animals are kind and cute.They have round eyes, long ears and soft (柔软的)fur. Their lovely looks make many people want to keep them. There are many different kinds of rabbits and they can live about seven to nine years. Rabbits are good to keep at home and they enjoy getting close to their owners. As long as you take good care of your pet, owning a rabbit can be an interesting experience. If you really decide to keep a rabbit as a pet, the following suggestions may be useful for you.First, you need to choose a cage (笼子)as a house for your rabbit. A good rabbit cage is about four feet wide, two feet deep and two feet tall. If there are other animals at your home,you need to choose an area for your rabbit in order to stop other animals from hurting it.Second, you should put a water bottle on the side of the cage and fill it with fresh water every day. But don't give your rabbit much water to drink, because it can take in water from vegetables or other food. If it takes in too much water, it can easily get ill.Third, greens are very important to your rabbit's health. Try to feed it different kinds of greens. Usually, each meal should have two or three different kinds of vegetables. Most rabbits need about a half cup of food each day. Check to see if your rabbit needs more or less.What's more, spend a lot of time playing with your rabbit. The more love it feels, the happier it will be.14 A.B.C.D.According to the passage, rabbits are cute and .funnybravefriendlynaughty(1)A.B.C.D.Why do many people want to keep rabbits according to the passage?Because rabbits are clean.Because rabbits are easy to keep.Because rabbits can live for a long time.Because rabbits look lovely.(2)What do rabbits like?(3)A.B.C.D.Playing with strangers.Drinking a lot of milk.Getting close to their owners.Sleeping.A.B.C.D.What can we learn from the passage?A good rabbit cage is about 2 feet wide.Drinking a lot of water is good for rabbits.Rabbits don't need to eat vegetables.Vegetables are important to rabbits' health.(4)A.B.C.D.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?You need to choose a safe area for your rabbit if you have other pets at home.You should keep a water bottle in the middle of your rabbit's cage.Most rabbits need about a half cup of food every day.Rabbits can feel the love of their owners.(5)CBody language is an important way of communication. According to one study, words show only 7% of a person's message but body language shows 55%. So when studying about a foreign culture, it is important to pay attention, to how people use body language.* GestureIt is a major form of body language communication. When people of New Zealand stick out their tongue (伸出舌头)at someone, it is a kind of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often describe "OK" with their thumb and forefinger (食指)touching to form a circle. The same gesture means "money"to the Japanese, "zero" to the French and a bad way to Brazilians. For that reason, People in a foreign culture must use gestures correctly.* Distance.When someone comes too close, he will feel uncomfortable. When he touches a stranger,he will feel sorry. But the distance of a person's "comfortable space" depends on his culture. For example, in daily conversation, many Americans stand about one metre away. People in Latin or Arab cultures, however, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.* ExpressionWhen talking, polite people show the feelings of being excited, glad, surprised or sad.People with no expression on the face are not welcomed. Americans talk with nodding, smiling politely and keeping good eye contact. Some cultures think eye contact impolite, but Americans think it honest.15A.B.C.D.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means .spoken language is not useful at allwe should learn body language instead of wordsbody language can show more meanings than wordsbody language is the most important way of communication(1)A.B.C.D.French people describe with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle.MoneyOKrespectzero(2)A.B. C.D.If one stands very close to an American, the American will .feel surprisedfeel uncomfortablefeel sorryrun away(3)A.B.C.D.In a conversation between Americans, it is impolite to show .a face without expressioneye contacthappiness, surprise or sadnessnodding or smiling(4)A.B.C.D.How many kinds of body language are mentioned in the passage?Two.Three.Four.Five.(5)D"What is success?" Mr. Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term."Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms." One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr. Gruber smiled, but shook his head. "Tom, that is excess (过量).That is not success.""How about being able to provide for your family?" A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.""Now we're getting closer," Mr. Gruber smiled, "but try thinking about what you need and what you want."16"Getting everything you want." Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr. Gruber sighed. " I believe we've already talked about excess versus (与…比较)success.""Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?" James ,sitting in the back wondered aloud."Quite right!" Mr. Gruber clapped. "Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get what you want, the, more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.""What does this have to do with business?" Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn't funny, he wasn't happy."Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to secure (确保)their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.""What if I don't have a family?" he continued to be difficult."Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.""He has goldfish to think about!" Peter, Tom's friend, shouted out."Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl."
