18．Today，we live in a time when we can own any movie we wish．But in the theater，movies own us．（　　）

15．In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years，and they have become names that millions of Chinese love，respect and most of all buy．
At least once a year，Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods，longing to buy something for his family in Xi'an．
"It's a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival，"Meng says．
His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou．"My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun，and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou，"Meng says．
A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands．
However，with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else：Their popularity has endured for years，decades and in many cases centuries．That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey（调查） of time-honored brands in Beijing last year，which drew more than 4million respondents．
Yili，a century-old pastry brand，came out on top as the favorite．There are some old brands，too，that have been bywords for older generations，faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks．
One of these is Beibingyang （Arctic Ocean） a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted．It disappeared from the market for 15years but resurfaced in 2010．It again proved to be a hit，many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s，and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children．
"Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality，"says Yin Jie，an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands．These brands are 230years old on average，and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity（繁荣） hundreds of years ago，Yin says．"To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients（成分），and that keeps them going．"

24．What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 1refer to？B
A．Big holidays．
B．Time-honored brands．
C．The respondents．
D．The older generations．
25．What does Meng Wei usually do in the Spring Festivals？B

C．He misses the things of the past very much．
D．He buys various sweeties and drinks．
26．What can be learned about the time-honored brands？C
A．They are not trusted in quality and competition．
B．Many disappeared and never made comebacks．
C．They enjoy a long time of popularity．
D．They are the childhood stories of the aged．
27．What does Yin Jie think important in keeping time-honored brands going？C
A．China's prosperity．
B．Historic influence．
C．Certain rare natural ingredients．
D．Bywords for older generations．

2．Like many Czechs （捷克人），Luká? Bern?，38，enjoys going out to the pub with his friends for conversation and a few beers．"I don't drink every day，"he says．"I think about three times a week．When I go out，I usually have five to six beers at a time，about the same as my friends．"The beers are half-liters，or 500 ml each．
If a half-liter of four-percent beer contains 16g of pure alcohol（酒精），Bern? and his friends are drinking 80 to 96 grams of pure alcohol on each outing．The Czech Republic's National Institute of Public Health，however，suggests that men take in fewer than 24g of pure alcohol per day； women，fewer than 16g．
Medical experts in over 40 countries around the world have agreed that drinking"too much"can cause harm．What they can't seem to agree upon is just how much is"too much．"National safety levels are quite different，from a limit of 10g a day in the Netherlands to Denmark's 60g．
There are a number of reasons for this．Dr．Larry Altshuler，a medicine expert for the Cancer Treatment Centers in Tulsa，explains that while everything is based on research，"Every group，race，and gender responds to alcohol differently．"
Also，researchers aren't using the same models or methods．He adds，"It can be like apples and oranges．How do you measure alcohol？Units，drinks，bottles or cans？What's the alcohol content（含量）？Is it light or heavy？"While a half-liter of four percent beer contains 16g of pure alcohol，a half-liter of five percent lager contains 20g．
Constance Scharff，a director of Addiction Research at Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center in California，says she believes the reason"is largely cultural．""But the evidence is clear that the more you drink，the more likely you are to develop alcohol-related health problems．"

27．The first paragraph is intended toC．A．describe the habit of Luká? Bern?
B．advise readers to live a carefree life
C．direct readers'attention to the topic of drinking
D．support the popular belief that Czechs fancy drinking
28．The underlined word"this"in Paragraph 4refers toD．A．the alcohol limit for Czechs
B．the measurement of alcohol content
C．the concern over the harmful effects of drinking
D．the difference in national safety levels of alcohol
29．According to the passage，what might determine the national safety standards of alcohol？CA．Drinking length and alcohol containers．
B．Drinking atmosphere and alcohol quality．
C．Cultural differences and measuring methods．
D．Research results and alcohol-related health problems．
30．What may be the best title for the passage？BA．How Can Drinking Be Safe？
B．How Much Alcohol Is Too Much？
C．Why Does Alcohol Do Harm to Health？
D．What Harm Will Alcohol Cause to Us？

12．Imagine the tallest building in the United States．Fill that giant building 44times with rotten fruits and vegetables．Now you know how much food Americans waste every year．
It is hard to believe，right？About 133billion pounds of food get thrown away．That's one-third of all the food we produce．And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason：It's ugly．
The problem is that nature isn't perfect．Apples can get scarred（留下疤痕）by storms．Cucumbers grow in C shapes．Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms．Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf．These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great．But most grocery stores refuse to sell them．Store owners say people judge food by how it looks．No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster．But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price？
A new movement is trying to make people see the"beauty"in ugly food．Some stores are selling ugly produce．It tastes the same．And you pay less for it because the food doesn't look perfect．
Usually，the stores find a nicer word than"ugly"．A Canadian chain uses"naturally imperfect．In some US stores，it's"misfit produce"．Whatever you call it，ugly food helps many people．Farmers get paid for food they were going to have to throw away．Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables．The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44million Americans who don't have enough to eat．Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people．
So really，who cares if that carrot looks a little…ugly？

28．Why are lots of fruits and vegetables thrown away in the US？A
A．Because they don't look nice．
B．Because they have gone bad．
C．Because they don't taste good．
D．Because they are badly polluted．
29．What is the 5th paragraph mainly about？D
A．The stores selling ugly food．
B．The better names for ugly food．
C．The number of hungry Americans．
D．The benefits of the ugly-food movement．
30．What does the mark"…"in the last paragraph suggest？C
A．The author would like to buy ugly carrots．
B．No one would care if a carrot looks a little ugly．
C．The author does not quite like the word"ugly"．
D．Nobody really wants to buy carrots that look ugly．

6．"When should I begin to develop good habits？"a young boy asked his teacher．
"How old are you？"asked the teacher．
"Eight years old，sir．"answered the boy．
"Then you have just lost eight years，"the teacher replied．
There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age．When one is young，it is easy to gain good habits．
Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life．The habit of brushing one's teeth in the morning，for example，keeps one's teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others．Bad habits such as sticking one's tongue out，biting one's fingernails and picking one's nose，are unwelcome ways of behaving in front of others．If we want people to enjoy being with us，we should try to develop habits that are pleasant．
The habits we formed at an early age shape our character．Habits are like tributaries （细流） which flow into a river．The river is made up of all its tributaries； a person's character is made up of all habits that he or she has developed over the years．

【写作要求】

2、作文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称．
The author tells us that habits are formed when we are young and we should try to develop good habits，for they benefit us in our daily life and help us shape our character（高分句型一）．（34 words）
I can't agree more with the author．A good habit can shape our character and improve our inner beauty．Therefore，I think it is of great significance to form a good habit．I have benefited much from my good habits，such as getting up early to read English aloud，reviewing lessons before going to bed every day．In the past，I didn't dare to speak English before others because of my poor pronunciation．I often did badly in my English tests．Thanks to my good habits，I have been making great progress．
Then，how can we form a good habit？Firstly，we should decide to fight against our laziness．Once we make up our minds to do something，never give up easily．Then，we have to be confident，believing we can become better．Last but not least，keep pushing ourselves．It may take a long period to form a good habit，but remember it is perseverance that makes us successful!（高分句型二）．
