【题目】The brothers Grimm(格林兄弟), Jacob and Wihelm are synonymous with（同义的）fairytales. The stories they gathered have been read by millions of children in all countries over the last two hundred years. It’s difficult to think that any children could not be attracted by a tale like Red Riding Hood(小红帽)，which never seems to grow old.

This year, Dec20 marked the 200th anniversary of publication of the tales. The Brimms collected the stories and gave them to the world because they wanted to show what German culture was about. In their time, Germany was not yet a nation; it was a collection of little states. Like many patriotic intellectuals(爱国知识分子),they thought they could help people in German territories(领土) to understand their own traditions.

Quite a few adult were shocked by brothers Grimm’s work. They wrote about a wolf who eats a little girl’s grandmother and an awful old woman who wants to put Hansel and Gretel in a stove. In fact, the original Grimm fairy tales are often far more unpleasant, and more adult in theme(主题).There is a lot of cruelty too. In the wedding scene of Snow White ,the stepmother dances in red-hot iron shoes that kills her.

However, other people came along and made these stories more “suitable” for children. The modern children’s writer Philip Pullman recently published a book of his versions of some Grimm tales. He points out that the Grimms themselves changed the stories, but for the better. They knew how to hold the attention of readers. “A Grimm tale,” he says, “moves with a dreamlike speed from event to event, pausing only to say as much as is needed and no more.” So, when we read a story from Grimms’ collection, we’re getting something from old Germany, but our enjoyment is also thanks to the brothers’ great storytelling skills.

【1】According to Paragrah1, Red Riding Hood____.

A. is popular with children all the time.

B. is too old for children to read

C. is a poorly organized story

D. is too stupid to be believed.

【2】What is the Brimms’ purpose in publishing the fairy tales?

A. To improved children’s reading skills.

B. To develop educational system.

C. To introduce their country’s culture.

D. To make a living by selling books.

【3】By mentioning Philip Pullman, the author intends to____.

A. describes the achievement of the Brothers Grimm

B. present a different side of Grimm fairy tales

C. prove the excellence of the Grimm fairy tales

D. compare the difference between the two versions

【4】In which section of a paper is the passage taken from?

A. Fun Times B. Comment

C. Life and Style D. Culture.

Alibaba founder, Jack Ma graduated from the Hangzhou Teacher’s Institute in 1988 with a major in English language education, and went on to teach at another university in the city. He gave up 【1】 university teaching job after 【2】 （discover）the Internet.

Ma became excited __【3】 the Internet during a visit to the United States in 1995 and wanted to find a way 【4】（bring ）the online world to China. In 1999, he persuaded friends to give him $60,000 to start an e-commerce firm called Alibaba.

Seeing an opportunity for small businesses to buy and sell their goods online, he started Alibaba, firstly running the company out of his apartment in the 【5】 （east） city of Hangzhou. Alibaba Group includes Tmall.com for business-to-consumer trade and Taobao, China’s 【6】 （popular ）online consumer marketplace with hundreds of millions of products and services listed. Now the company is 【7】 Internet giant and Ma—a former English teacher---is among China’s most super-rich.

On his long road to riches, Jack Ma says his 【8】 （inspire） has been the film character Forrest Gump.

假设你叫李琳。你的加拿大网友Elizabeth最近遇到了一些不开心的事情。阅读她发给你的e-mail，然后根据她的问题给她写一封回信，谈谈你的看法，同时提出一些建议。

【题目】One day I was driving home with a woman. She rolled down the window, fifty feet away from the driveway and spit her gum （口香糖）out of the window. “Couldn’t you just wait five seconds and put your gum where it belongs?” I asked, annoyed.

She was not the only one who was gum-lazy. Consider the following. Every time I brush chewed gum under my desk, I shake with fright. At Folsom Middle School, whenever I had to walk by the gum wall next to the girls’ locker room, I felt totally disgusted. When I was young, I walked outside during my dance show in my ballet shoes, always stepping right on a big and juicy piece of bubble gum. I was extremely upset.

The worst part of all these incidents is that a trash can is located near. But some people are too lazy to walk towards it.

If you can’t be a responsible gum chewer, don’t chew at all. That’s all I’m going to say.

Take Singapore as a good example. The chewing gum ban in Singapore was placed. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore, whether for the purpose of trade or personal chewing. However, the ban has been partly lifted with some types of gum, such as medical gum, allowable. This comes with the warning that it is sold only by a druggist, who has to take down the names of buyers. Obviously, the Singapore government gets angry at gum stuck in keyholes of mailboxes and on elevator buttons.

Not only is it annoying, but chewing gum can actually do harm to the health. Most gum contains aspartame （阿斯巴甜）, a chemical sweetener（增甜剂）that the US government is now deciding whether or not it is a deadly chemical. If it is, it may cause cancer. Other studies suggest that aspartame may cause neurological（神经系统的）disorders. Therefore, aspartame is not allowed to use in the US.

So just say no to chewing gum.

【1】What did the author think of the woman’s behavior?

A. It was strange. B. It was unacceptable.

C. It was dangerous. D. It was violent.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, the author _________.

A. stepped on a piece of gum while dancing

B. cleaned gum under her desk sometimes

C. was troubled by chewed gum

D. often found chewed gum in her locker

【3】What do we know about aspartame?

A. It is proved to be a harmless chemical.

B. It is the cause of many kinds of cancer..

C. It is being refused by the US government.

D. It is the main ingredient of chewing gum.

【4】What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To advise people against chewing gum.

B. To criticize people who are lazy.

C. To persuade people to buy medical gum.

D. To make comments on the ban in Singapore.

【题目】In the toy section, I noticed a small boy of about five years old, pressing a doll against his chest. He kept on touching【1】________hair of the doll and looked very sad. I wondered who he wanted to give the doll 【2】_________. So I walked towards him and asked him all about it. “It is the doll【3】_____ my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.”

I told him not 【4】_________ (worry). However, he replied sadly, “No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to 【5】_________she is now. I’ll have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there.” His eyes were filled with 【6】________ (sad) while saying this. “My sister 【7】______ (go) to be with God. Daddy said that Mommy will also join God very soon, so I think that she can bring the doll with 【8】_________ to give it to my sister.”

My heart almost stopped【9】________ (beat) wholly. The little boy looked up at me and said, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I asked him to wait 【10】_________ I come back from the store.”

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Public Speaking Training

·Get a coach

【1】 ，so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.

·Focus on positives

Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 【2】 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.

· 【3】

If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.

【4】 . As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.

·You are a special person not a clone

Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 【5】 . Your training course should help you bring out your

personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.

A. You aren't like anybody else

B. You already do lots of things well

C. Turn your back on too many rules

D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts

E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough

F .The one thing you don't span>want is for them to fall asleep

G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

【题目】The chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps. Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!

Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?

Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!

Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.

Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.

When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.

“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”

Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!

Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plants

B. chemicals in plants help cure animals

C. scientists live with chimps to study their diets

D. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants

【2】How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?

A. By talking with the biologists.

B.. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.

C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.

D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.

【3】The author wrote the passage to ___________.

A. provide a solution B. test a theory

C. present a finding D. describe an experiment

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Animal doctors. B. Forest plants.

C. Chimp’s diets. D. A cure for cancer.
