I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said you could buy tickets at the theatre box any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and the theatre is not good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes. By the time I saw one come, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line at the box office, and I heard one man say he had been waiting for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
(1)The man learned from _______ that there would be a concert on Friday.
A.the bus stop
B.the theatre box
C.one man in line
D.the newspaper
(2)He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______.
A.once
B.three times
C.twice
D.four times
(3)One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus.
A.forty-five minutes
B.twenty minutes
C.fifteen minutes
D.ten minutes
(4)The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by _______.
A.pleased
B.surprised
C.puzzled
D.sorry

Jolly Joe always arrived at my neighborhood at exactly half past noon. The clang (叮当声) of the bell on his red and black truck was then the sweetest sound in the world. Brightly colored stickers advertising his amazing kinds of treats could be found on all sides of his truck. The whole neighborhood would magically come to life.
Holding a nickel (五分镍币), I'd run to the back of the vehicle, where children were already gathering. Jolly Joe would jump out of his truck, the sun shining on his hair. He was an older man, short and round, with a pleasant face and a welcoming smile.
I don't know how, but he knew us all by name, as well as which treats we preferred. My favorite was the Buried Treasure. By eating all the ice cream, you'd discover the treasure inside: a lion, a dog or even a funny clown — printed onto a plastic stick.
When it was finally my turn, he'd put his arm deep inside one of the boxes, and pause (停顿) for a moment, a puzzled look crossing his face. Then, suddenly, he'd pull it out: the Buried Treasure! I couldn't wait to enjoy the cool, sweet ice cream.
As quickly as he arrived, it was time for Jolly Joe to go, leaving behind laughing, excited children with sticky hands and faces. Soon the sound of his clanging bell would slowly disappear in the distance.
I always hated to see Jolly Joe go, because I knew the rest of the day would be as hot and boring as before. But I took some comfort in knowing that the next day he'd come round the corner at half past noon and once again spread his magic.
(1)Jolly Joe was liked mostly by _____.
A.children
B.passengers
C.advertisers
D.drivers
(2)Why did the author like the Buried Treasure best?
A.It gave great pleasure to his pet.
B.It was the cheapest of all the treats.
C.It contained something very interesting.
D.It was the most delicious of all the treats.
(3)Which of the following can best describe Jolly Joe?
A.Dishonest and tricky.
B.Wealthy and kind.
C.Brave and hard-working.
D.Happy and humorous.
(4)What would be the best title for the text?
A.Lost treasure found at last
B.A clanging bell in the distance
C.Ice cream man spreads frozen magic
D.My friendship with an ice cream man

Universities are doing everything they can to become a green campus. But there are also items students can do to make your campus more eco-friendly.
1)Recycle everything, especially paper!
There is a large amount of paper a college student goes through every term. We know that these things can't be avoided, but the way you handle the use of all the paper can really help create a better green campus.
2)Buy green.
Paper, cleaning products and water are products that can be bought as recycled goods. They're slightly more expensive than the normal products, but it's worth it to make a green campus.
3)Walk and bike to school.
Most campuses, especially those that are trying to become a more eco-friendly campus, have pretty good public transit (公共交通系统). Walking or biking will help make your campus a green university.
4)
A water bottle can be refilled at any water fountain and can easily be drunk in class or while riding a bike. This will save the environment by decreasing the amount of plastic waste on your campus.
5)Buy used clothing.
It is usually thought of as something to do to save money. Recycling clothes minimizes the use of resources to make clothing and puts a dent in the problem of worldwide sweatshops.
A. Carry a water bottle.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school's teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the £15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night's sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.
There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,' said Mr Holloway. 'At Hampton Court House we don't think we have the answer for everybody; it's about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.' He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. 'I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,' said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.
(1)Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?
A.It may be good for students' study.
B.Students wanted a morning lie-in.
C.Students were often late for school.
D.Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.
(2)What can we learn about the new start time?
A.It's suitable for every student.
B.It was based on scientific research.
C.Students are following the new school time now.
D.Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.
(3)Experts think young people's getting up later ________.
A.is a bad habit
B.is a natural thing
C.is because of laziness
D.is helpful to their study
(4)In Mr. Holloway's eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.
A.working harder
B.not wasting time
C.using time wisely
D.learning new study methods
(5)What's Gabriel Purcell-Davis' attitude towards the new school time?
A.Doubtful.
B.Supportive.
C.Worried.
D.Objective.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
The average(平均的)American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:
*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.
*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap (小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
(1)Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?
A.They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B.they will improve children's ability to get along with others.
C.They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D.They will make sure of children's success in the future.
(2)Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?
A.Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.
B.Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.
C.Watching TV doesn't burn up as much fat as doing sports.
D.Children like to snack while watching TV.
(3)What influence does watching TV have on a child's sleep?
A.Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B.Children's sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C.It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D.It will make children sleep easier.
(4)What is the purpose of this text?
A.To increase people's knowledge of watching TV.
B.To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C.To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D.To correct parents' wrong ideas of television's effect on children.
