  I liked smoking. When I smoked with my family,I would feel so relaxed and good that 1      else in the world seemed to 2      . I thought that smoking weed(烟草) was 3       since many of my family members and people at my school smoked. Nothing ever happened to them.

4       I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought 5       of it just that I wanted to smoke. Not that it was actually 6       my mind and body. Then I be?gan to fall behind in school. I would 7       classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend 8       8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought 9       that marijuana(大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get 10       cigarettes if I smoked those,but I don't smoke marijuana. 11       I have learned more about marijuana, I have reduced 12       of marijuana that I use. I don't want drugs to be the most important in my life. I'm not smoking every day,and not spending as much money. Now that I have 13       on my habit, I am 14       more money. I,m ready to go back to school and do good,so that I can make 15       of myself. Everyone is always saying how weed 16       your mind and how it solves problems. I think it only brings more 17       . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I'm not trying to tell you not to smoke, I'm just letting you know that marijuana can be 18       to your health, and in the long term it may cause some long term negative(负面的) effects. Help your?self now, 19       it is too late. I don't want to lecture anyone, just 20       my experience with you. I do still smoke, but not as often.

本文作者以自己的亲身经历讲述了抽烟和吸毒的害处并告诫读者趁早戒毒。

1.B前文的relaxed or good,提示答案:我总是感觉全身的放松和快乐,没有什么比抽烟更好了。

2.A因为抽烟使自己感到放松和快乐。所以作者认为世界上似乎再也没有其他什么(比抽烟) 更重要的了。

3.C根据后面Nothing ever happened to them 的表述。作者认为抽烟没什么大不了的,周围的人都在抽烟。

4.D at one time表示曾经,一度;by the way顺便提一下;now and then与后面的during lunch and after school时间状语有矛盾。In my opinion更不符合文意。

5.A对此我从来就没过多地思考,只是想抽烟而已。

6.B而不是因为抽烟控制了我的大脑和身体。Take over表"接管"、"控制"之意。

7.D从上文看这儿应是逃课cut class。

8.A因为已经上瘾了,所以一天至少要花8至18美元,at most最多,no more than表示only,均不符合题意。

9.B think twice about sth/doing sth表"认真考虑后才决定做"的意思。此处表明作者没有认真思考过抽烟的坏影响。

10.C get lost in sth"沉溺/坠落在…一之中",此处指沉溺于香烟之中。

11.C now that既然我了解了大麻的(坏处) ,我就减少了大麻的使用量。

12.A the amount指".. 的量";the number指"(可数事物) 的量"。

13.B cut down on sth.减少... 的量,渐渐改变。

14.D上文提到巳经改变了坏习惯,所以一定与文章开头提到的抽烟花钱相反,应该是saving省钱。

15.C make sth. of oneself表"使自己成为有用的人"。此处表"使自己有点出息"之意。

16.A根据下文how it solves problems可知,解决问题,必须先是大脑兴奋。

17.A由only可知,此处作者的观点与大家的观点肯定不同。(我根据自己的体会) ,觉得大麻(虽然可以使人兴奋) ,但毕竟带来很多的麻烦,负面效应则更多。

18.C作者从吸毒到戒毒的做法是在告诉读者"抽烟对健康是很危险的"道理从下句也可知道该答案。

19.C before表示"在……之前"。在还不是太迟之前应该快解救自己。

20.D把我自己的经历告诉大家与人共勉share.

  Narrator(解说) :(Scene shows an old woman, washing her supper dishes. ) For several years,a widow (寡妇) has lived in her own pleasant two-room and kitchenette apartment in a re?built brownstone near East River. Her late husband, Mr. H. T. Miller, had left a fair amount of insurance money before he passed away. Mrs. Miller is,in fact,not an average sixty-one-year-old woman;she has little interest outside her apartment, has no friends to speak of,and she only ventures out as far as a nearby grocery store. No one who lives near her has taken note of her existence,with her old-fashioned dress and old-fashioned hairstyle,and she never uses any cosmetics(化妆品) .Her daily activities are monotonous,smoking an occasional cigarette, preparing her own meals,feeding her canary (a kind of bird) named "Tommy",and keeping her two-room apartment as clean as possible. (Mrs. Miller sits down on her couch, reading through the afternoon newspaper.)

  Narrator: (Camera changes scene to Rod Serling, a glowing cigarette held in her hand.) One would think that her life would be as normal as anyone else's. She doesn't mind the wall of isolation(隔离) she has created around herself all these years. But all of this is going to change. Mrs. Miller is going to meet a person, a small child, who,like her,has no friends, goes through life unnoticed, and ventures only as far as Mrs. Miller. Would it be a dream of happi?ness come true?

 It was well-known that Einstein was the father of the famous Theory of Relativity. But do you know it owes a great deal to Marits,Einstein's former wife?

In 1896,17-year-old Einstein went to Zurich to study physics. There he met a girl fromHungary. They studied in the same class. The same interest brought the two together and the young man fell in love with Marits. In 1903, when Einstein was 24 years old,he married Marits,who was 4 years older than he.-

After their marriage, Einstein devoted himself to the research of the great theory. To give her husband more help,Marits gave up her own work,and became a good wife and assistant. She tried her best to encourage him whenever possible and she was sure that her husband would succeed. They often discussed the theory while walking outside or sitting together in the room. They even discussed it in their letters when one of them was away from home.

In 1914,the Einstein moved to Berlin and settled there. At that time,Einstein's theory proved to be correct and he had become famous all over the world. Marits was very proud of him and his success. But it was not long before the First World War broke out. Marits as well as her two sons,who were all on holidays in Switzerland, couldn't come back to Berlin. The war not only stopped Einstein's work but broke up the warm,happy family. In 1919, Einstein and Marits had to get divorced(离婚) .

Einstein himself,however, later said that Marits was really an outstanding woman.

  LONDON,England,a capital city full of art and history,an important political centre,a huge financial market place.

  Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others,or more industrial, or have better housing.

   Let's start with the centre, the "Square Mile". This is the oldest part of London. In the past,this is where all financial business was done. Not many people live here,but 300,000 people work here every day.

   Moving west,we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, past big department stores like Sel-fridges and Harrods.      Rents here are very high,a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1000 pounds (14,845 yuan) a week.

Further away is West London. This area is more residential and very fashionable. Go see the home of Diana, the Princess of Wales:Kensington Palace. Notting Hill,made famous by the film starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, is here.

   The East End contains the Port of London,which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the area very diverse(各式各样的) ,but also quite poor. It has a reputation as being dangerous. Since London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.

   It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a "collection of villages", each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, a international capital.

(   ) 1. It can be inferred from the passage that         .

   A.more tourists would rather visit London thanFranceevery year

   B.the West End in London is the oldest part of London

   C.the film Notting Hill made the actress Julia Roberts famous in London

   D.Kensington Palace is one of the places of interest in London

(   ) 2. What does the word "reputation" in Paragraph 6 mean in Chinese?

   A.名声,名誉   B.治安   C.住房   D.环境

(   ) 3. All of the following are true except         .

   A.Many people work in the oldest part of London every day

   B.It costs quite a lot to rent a flat in West End

   C.There are many immigrants in the east part of London

   D.London will compete for the bid to hold the Olympic in 2012 

(   ) 4. The passage serves as         .

   A.a poster to draw many visitors to London

   B.an introduction of something about London to the foreigners

   C.a declaration of supporting the Olympics in 2012

   D.an ad to make London more famous
