One winter during college in New York, I took an 8: 00 a.m. history class. The professor was very __36 in class. He just looked at his lecture notes and __37__ looked up at us. I felt that I needed to get rid of my boredom, so I created a little __38__ for myself. I tried to find something from his lecture to ask a question about, forcing me to __39__ rather than letting my eyes close. The first time I raised my hand, he was surprised, but obviously pleased to have a question to answer. __40__ , his answers were always interesting. I continued to do this every day in the course and found my-self ac

On the last day of class we gathered our books and headed for the door for the last time. The shy professor stepped directly in front of me as I reached the door.

That moment has stayed with me for 30 years.

The English are famous for their manners． The phrase, “Manners maketh the man” was coined by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324, but they’re just as important today． Books are written on the subject, advice columns in magazines tell people how to behave, and “finishing schools” still exist to ensure that young girls become young “ladies”．
The best example of English manners is in their mastery of the art of forming a queue． It is a popular joke in England （the land of sporting failures） to say, “if only queuing was an Olympic sport, we’d win hands down．” No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make-up． School children are taught to queue for roll-call, assembly and lunch, and English people across the land form orderly queues at shops, banks, cinemas and bus-stops every day． The English obviously aren’t the only people who queue, but they seem to do it better than anyone else． As one visitor said, “I have travelled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the single-file queues which are formed in England．”
The English are also famously polite when it comes to language． Whereas many other notions are more direct in their communication, the English prefer a more indirect form of asking for things． For example, an American who wants to talk to a colleague might say, “Got a minute?”; however an English person will often use a more indirect means might of requesting the chat, “Sorry to bother you, but would you possibly have a minute or so to have a quick chat if you don’t mind, please?”
The English also love to apologize for things． When squeezing past someone, people say “sorry”． And they will apologize if you bump into them, “whoops! Sorry! My fault．” In fact, no one seems to say “sorry” as much as the English: “sorry I’m late． /Sorry I forgot to call you last night．/I’m sorry you didn’t get the e-mail．” And so on． They also like to use “please” and “thank you” a lot． In a shop, they will say, “I’d like a packet of crisp, please． Thanks．” British students thank their lectures, a

nd bosses often thank their employees for doing their jobs．
小题1: Why does “finishing schools” still exist to help young girls become “ladies”?

A．Because the English mind their manners very much．

B．Because the English parents want to marry their daughters to the royal family．

C．Because the English girls are so rude that they need to be taught to be polite．

D．Because the English government ensures their existence．

小题2:The underlined sentence in paragraph2 implies ________________．

A．The English love the Olympics very much．

B．The English spend nothing winning an Olympic medal．

C．The English are best at queuing．

D．The English prefer to queue with their hands down．

小题3: According to the passage, if Americans say “Waiter! Could I have another fork, please?” how will the English express such a meaning?

A．Excuse me! Give me another fork, please!

B．Excuse me! I have to be a bother, but would you mind awfully changing this fork, please?

C．Hi! Would you mind giving me another fork?

D．Waiter! Come here and change the fork!

小题4:According to the passage, why do the employers often thank their employees for doing their jobs?

A．The employees can bring them a lot of benefits．

B．The employees finish their jobs perfectly．

C．The English employers’ good manners lead them to do so．

D．The employers do it as a result of the company’s regulation．

Yesterday I totally changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being 36 , he was happy and 37 that it was because of something he saw in India．
A few years ago he was 38 feeling sad and was touring India．He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw an Indian mother 39 her child’s right hand with a knife．The helpless 40 in the mother’s eyes and the painful scream of the 41 four-year-old child still remained in his mind．
The 42 mother made the child handicapped （disabled） 43 he could go out on the streets to beg． 44 by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating．And almost at once, several children 45 around this small piece of bread covered with sand, 46 bits from one another．It was the 47 reaction of hunger．He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread． 48 he gave out the bread to the children （mostly handicapped）, he 49 cheers and bows from these 50 children．For the first time in his life, he understood 51 people could give up their 52 for a loaf of bread．He came to 53 how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to 54 about food that didn’t taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him 55 dreamed of having．Perhaps life wasn’t bad at all．

If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on(依靠) the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread(主线) of the story. In all probability(可能) you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
小题1:To read for pleasure means _____________.

A．to take pleasure in reading

B．to be satisfied in reading book

C．to read such books as novels, plays, travel books, etc

D．to go on with reading pleasantly

小题2:The phrase “to ge

t on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “_________”.

A．to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the book

B．to try to catch the meaning of every word i

C．to try to understand all the writer is going to tell you

D．to try to understand the main idea of the book

小题3:、When you meet new words in reading such kinds of books, you’d better _________.

A．stop and look them up in a dictionary	B．stop and think them over
C．try to guess their meanings from the context	D．have none of them

小题4:According to the passage the best way to read novels, plays and travel books is _____.

A．to read very slowly	B．to read quickly and not too carefully
C．to read very carefully	D．to read very seriously

小题5:The best title for this passage is “___________”.

A．Read for Pleasure	B．Get on with the Books
C．Reading Skills	D．The Importance of Reading

Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是）there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (强制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
小题1: According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.

A．is still unknown	B．is being closely studied
C．is usually neglected	D．has been fully recognized

小题2:The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.

A．the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood

B．all of the recreation facilities far from home

C．relatively little attention for recreative possibilities

D．the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood

小题3:The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.

A．in special areas	B．in the suburbs
C．in the neighbourhood of the house	D．in gardens and parks

小题4: The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.

A．suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious

B．show that recreation activities are very important

C．show how recreation activities have spread wildly

gest how to offer recreation activities around home

小题5:Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragrap

A．One lives the very best standard of living.

B．There are too many distractions outside his home.

C．There are few recreations around his house.

D．One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

In spite of the television and other ways to pass information, the newspaper is still an important source. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they don’t have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page, at other times, they may be in such a hurry that they have time only for a glance at headlines.
In the United States there are newspapers to satisfy all kinds of readers. In big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions（版本） every day. In the small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas the paper is even printed weekly.
Another type of publications that help the population know what is happening in the world is magazines. Some magazines are published weekly, others are put out monthly. There are news magazines, and magazines for special interests as sports, photography and music. In the United States, you can find the right thing for every taste and interest.
小题1:In order to know what is happening in the world, .

A．people should read the whole newspaper carefully

B．people should read a newspaper as the first thing in the morning

A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.
Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.
Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.
University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.
Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.
The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.
The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.
小题1: What is true about the Framingham Study?

A．It was only conducted in 1948.	B．It involves more than 12,000 participants.
C．It was led by John Cacioppo	D．It showed that any behavior could spread.

小题2: From the passage, we can learn that .

A．the habit of littering doesn’t spread

B．a lonely person won’t have friends

C．everyone may be affected by others’ loneliness

D．lonely people don’t know the cause of their loneliness

小题3: Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true?

A．The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends.

B．No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives.

C．Women are more likely to be affected than men.

D．Brothers are more easily affected than neighbors.

小题4: If you make 10 more friends in a year, the days of your feeling loneliness will be reduced by .

小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Actions should be taken to help lonely people. B

. People feel lonely for many reasons.
C. Ways to fight against loneliness. D. Lonely people can affect others.

Watercolor（水彩画） is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cave men. They discovered that they could mix the natural colors found in the earth with water. In this way they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the wall of caves.
Fresco（壁画）, one of the greatest art forms, is done with watercolor, it is created by mixing paints

and water and applying these to wet plaster（灰泥）. Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelos’ works in the Sistine Chapel, very few know they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Glemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches（素描） or as tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have widely-known love for the outdoors and also for small, private pictures. The softness o

f watercolor had a strong attraction for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until the twentieth century. The United States took the place of England and became the cen

ter of watercolor. It produced such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
小题1: The first watercolor users were___________

was difficult to use

小题3: According to the passage, watercolor painting was put back in England because ______

A．it was easy to use outdoors
