阅读理解（12）阅读综合训练A. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)Every country in the world has a flag. A flag is a piece of cloth with a picture or pattern on it. The flag is a symbol that stands for the country. It is a custom in many places for people to fly or hang a flag. The flag tells something about the country and its culture. This may be about its land, its history, or the things that the people do there.Many flags have patterns of stripes(条纹). The flag of Italy has a green stripe, a white stripe and a red stripe. Each stripe tells something about Italy. The white stripe is a symbol of Italy’s snowy mountains. Some flags show pictures. The flag of Canada has a picture of a red maple（枫树）leaf, which is a symbol of the maple trees in Canada. The Mexican flag has both a pattern of stripes and a picture. The picture shows an eagle eating a snake. This picture comes from a very old Mexican story.A flag may also tell about a country’s past. The American flag is called the Stars and Stripes. It has a pattern of fifty stars and thirteen stripes. The fifty stars are a symbol of the fifty states in the country, and the thirteen stripes are a symbol of the country’s first thirteen colonies（殖民地）.However, a flag may be a symbol of a group, a school, or an event like the Olympics. The flag of the Olympics shows five rings of different colors that connect. Each ring is a symbol for a part of the world that joins in the Olympics. The Red Cross is a group that helps people who are in trouble. If a person sees the Red Cross flag, which has a red cross against a white background, he knows he can ask for help. People may fly a flag as a custom on a holiday. Children’s Day in Japan is a holiday when the country wishes for children’s happiness. It is a custom on this day to fly a flag with a picture of a fish.Flags are also used as a way to talk. A flag with patterns can be very helpful to people who do not speak the same language. Sailors on ships use flags to talk to sailors on other ships. They may not speak the same language, but they know what the patters mean.

His emotions were on full display as he walked up to the stage, beforeannouncing, “I'm fully sure that I am a lucky, lucky man. This Oscar belongs to all of those people around the world battling ALS.”The humble (谦虚的) actor had a message for Stephen Hawking: “Thank you for reminding me of the power of love and the will to live every second of your life as fully as possible.”1.Did Redmayne win the Oscar Award for Best Actor?

When anxiety(焦虑）kicks in, students cancompletely lose concentration, leading to poor scores. But is there any solution to suchstress?The key to reducing test anxiety is writing. According to a recent report in thejournal Science, taking a few minutes before an exam to write about all those fears could help students perform better.The study was conducted by Professor Sian L. Beilock, from the University of Chicago, and his graduate student Gerardo Ramirez.First, the researchers asked 20 college students to take a maths test to get a base-lined score. Next, they told the students that they could get a monetary award if they got a good score, and that they were being videotaped.Before beginning the main test, the researchers asked one group of students to spend 10 minutes writing down their anxieties about the test, while the other group sat quietly. Both groups then took the same exam.The researchers found that students who sat quietly did 12% worse than they had on the pre-test, and the ones who wrote about their anxieties improved their scores by 5%.Writing enables students to feel refreshed when facing challenging questions on the examination. However, experts also warn that such a change will not cause students to become any smarter.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passageFrom the first day that men began to study numbers in daily life, some numbers have been thought to be lucky, while others are considered unlucky. And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated.7Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But ___1___? The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the worldin 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system（太阳系）. Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug（瓢虫）and ladybugs areconsidered good luck themselves.4This number means bad luck in Asia. For example, the ___2___ of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “death.” And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China.666“666” is a(an) ___3___ number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries.___4___ the Christian Bible（圣经）, the number 666 means Satan（撒旦，魔鬼）. It might be the most avoided number in Western culture. For example, there used to be US Highway 666 in New Mexico, but in 2003 it was changed to US Highway 491 because the government was afraid that the number would scare tourists away. Another example is that Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, changed the ___5___ 666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air to 668 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air before moving in.But in Asia, people love “666” because it sound like “things going smoothly,” and is considered to be very lucky.13People all over the world don’t like “13.” It’s difficult for you to find a building with a 13th floor in North America. Friday the 13th is considered a very bad day.2In many Asian countries, “2” is good luck. It is thought that good things come in pairs, which is a phrase that ___6___ appears in Western culture.8Maybe no people in the world are more fascinated about the number “8” than the Chinese.
