In the winter vocation of 2008, I was fixed with a job. I worked as a(n) 21  at Mr Breen’s  fruit shop. The fruit shop did good business. Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighborhood, 22_ he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars. Mr Breen 23 them all by names and they sometimes even had their order already made up, always 24  me to carry it out to their car. They were clearly longstanding customers, and I 25 they must have stayed faithful to him because he had  promised to sell good quality fruits. He had a way with them---- I had to 26  that. He called every woman “madam” for a start, 27 those who clearly were not, but when he said it, it did not sound like flattery(恭维). It just sounded 28  in an old-fashioned way. He was a great chatter  29 . If he did not know them, he would greet them with a few  30  about the weather,  31 he did, he would ask about their families or make  32 , always cutting his cloth 33  his customers. Whatever their bills came to, he 34  gave them back the few odd pence(零钱), and I was sure they thought he was very generous. But I thought he was the opposite. He never threw anything away. He was always looking for  35 for nothing.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what “PK” meant.
“My family has been watching the ‘Super Girl’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking (排名).
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’ compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
小题1: By writing the article, the writer tries to ________.
A.explain some Internet languageB.suggest common Internet language
C.laugh at the Beijing fatherD.draw our attention to Internet language
小题2:What does the writer think about the term “PK”?
A.Fathers can’t possibly know it.B.The daughter should understand it.
C.Online game players may know it.D.“Super Girl” shouldn’t have used it.
小题3: The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________.
A.are used not only onlineB.can be understood very well
C.are welcomed by all the peopleD.cause trouble to our mother tongue
小题4:The underlined word “jargons” probably means  ________.
A.expressionsB.phrasesC.lettersD.spellings
小题5: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A puzzled fatherB.Do you speak Internet jargons?
C.Keep away from Internet jargonsD.Kong Long or Qing Wa?

A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that finally understood what role modeling  1 in your life. Little did I known you were  2 every penny you earned to go to  3  school.
I cannot thank you enough for  4 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework. I wanted into the dining where you were buried  5   piles of law books. I was  6  .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for  7  ?When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t known. Moms 8  be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was ,that statement kept   9  in my ears. I watched as you faced the   10  of completing your studies, staring companies with Dad, while still being a   11  and a Mom if five kids. I was exhausted  just watching you   12  .With your words of wisdom in my   13  mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world   14  .I set out to live my life filled with   15  ,seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I   16  found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)  17   one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your   18  , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and   19  meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m   20  it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

A pair of pandas being lent by China to Japan was set to arrive in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital and raising hopes that the animals may help improve bilateral (双边的)ties.
Bi Li and his female partner, Xian Nu, both 5, were  due  to  touch  down at  Narita international Airport in Tokyo on a flight from Shanghai.
Together with their keeper, the pair were transferred from Chengdu, to Shanghai on Monday morning, said Li Desheng, deputy chief of the Wolong Nature Reserve.
The pair, which are young adults, will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo since April 2008, when the institution's beloved Ling Ling died.
Ueno Zoo had spent 90 million yen ($1.1 million) installing under-floor heating, a playground with a sandbox and landscaping.
The pair will dine on rare bamboo from the central Japanese mountain of Izu that is similar to what they are used to at home in China.
The zoo's first pair of pandas arrived in 1972, marking the normalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Expectations are running high that the pandas that will stay in Japan for 10 years will boost the local economy and improve troubled relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
Business and tourism officials expect them to bring in around 20 billion yen a year, or 10 percent of the local economy.
In 1993, a year after Ling Ling arrived in the zoo, an additional 1 million people visited the attraction. Visitors have fallen to around 3 million a year from 3.5 million since Ling Ling's death.
Since a boat collision near the Diaoyu Islands in September, Sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point. The media outlets expressed hope that bilateral relations will improve with the arrival of the pandas.
小题1:The passage mainly tells us         .    
A.a pair of pandas was lent to Japan by China
B.the pair of pandas from China brought hope of improving Sino-Japanese relations
C.the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan
D.sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point since the Diaoyu Island incident
小题2:en the pair of pandas arrives in Japan,         .   
A.an additional 1 million people will visit the zoo
B.they will eat what they are used to from China
C.they will stay there for 10 years
D.they will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo
小题3:According to the passage, we know that Ling Ling stayed in Japan for about         .  
A.5 yearsB.10 yearsC.15 yearsD.20 years
小题4:What does the underlined phrase "touch down" probably mean ?   
A.take offB.landC.come upD.meet
小题5: The arriving of the pandas is expected to bring several positive effects except         
A.boosting the local economy
B.improving the troubled relations between China and Japan
C.bringing in around 20 billion yen a year
D.attracting 3.5 million visitors from China
Animals seem to have the sense (本能) to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need.It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant(香的) flavor (味道) was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water.In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria(自助) feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them.They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in.We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.
So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them.Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could.Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established(长期养成的)habits.Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs.So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.
53.The expression “the habit” in paragraph 1 refers to drinking water which _______.
A. has no smell    B. is tasteless    C. has vitamins   D. is flavored (有味道的)
小题1:According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _______.
A.adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health
B.adults usually cannot resist (抵制) the temptation (诱惑) of various delicious foods
C.adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
D.adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
小题2:The author implied in the passage that most of us _______.
A.eat a balanced diet
B.choose the food that is of nutrition
C.have the habits influenced by the surroundings
D.like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor.
小题3:As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that _______.
A.both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
B.both prefer flavored food and drink
C.both have the same eating patterns
D.both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors
They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed.A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored (政府资助的) youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies.
“We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.
After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.
The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.
One form of protest(抗议) tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.
Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents.Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them.
“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the café, and sit and stare,” said Isabella Cault."There is usually not much conversation.You look for happiness.Sometimes you even find it.”
小题1:Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected _______
A.one million peopleB.250,000 people
C.1ess than half of the population D.about 0.6 million people
小题2:What Nicollete Steggerda said (Para.2) means that ________.
A.the students cannot get work after graduation
B.what the students learn is more than necessary
C.the students’ aim in study is not clear
D.school education is not sufficient
小题3:The underlined word ‘‘it” in the last paragraph most probably refers to ________.
A.material enjoymentB.a sense of expectation
C.happinessD.a job
  When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?
A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers---free of charge--- for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.
Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.”
The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.”
In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.
小题1: The best title for the passage is __________.
A.Question Box ----taking the place of the Internet
B.Needing an answer? ----asking Question Box
C.Question Box ----A great invention in the world
D.Rose Shuman----- A professor helping the poor
小题2: In Rose Schuman’s opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that______.
A.It is the most advanced in the world
B.It is more convenient to carry.
C.It is much easier to use
D.it saves much more energy
小题3:The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to______.
A.the usersB.the operators
C.the researchersD.Question Box workers
小题4:What can we know from the passage?
A.Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.
B.Question Box operators can look for information in any language.
C.Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.
D.Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.
