Chinese history says that the Chinese had chopsticks as far as the Xia Dynasty(朝代)(about 4, 00 years ago). In the Spring and Autumn Period(时期) copper and iron chopsticks appeared. With the Han Dynasty lacquered(上漆) chopsticks came, followed by gold and silver chopsticks still later. Today we have chopsticks made of plastics. The most expensive are made of part of tusks of elephants and hard green stone. Chopsticks tell Chinese tradition in their way. In ancient (古代的) times therich used hard green stone or gold chop-sticks to show their wealth(富有). In history many kings used silver chopsticks to take their food to see if it was poisonous(有毒的). It was said that if it was, the silver chopsticks would turn colour. Chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when she marries to show that they should have a son very soon, for “Chopsticks” in Chinese is pronounced like “quick a son”! Tianzhu chopsticks from Hangzhou, wooden chopsticks from Shanyang of Shanxi Province, and Beijing’s chopsticks are well-known. Many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside(一边) their knives and forks in favour(爱好) of chopsticks in China. Chopsticks appeared in the old Chinese story: an old man teaches his sons a lesson by showing how he could easily break a single chopstick but not a number of them. In China, chopsticks are connected with good luck. So on the country’s New Year’s Eve many families will lay out new chopsticks at dinners as a way of making requests for luck. 1.. Chopsticks have their beginnings in . A. China B. many Asian countries C. African countries D. all over the world 2. Copper and iron chopsticks appeared in . A. the Xia Dynasty B. the Spring and Autumn Period C. the Han Dynasty D. the Tang Dynasty 3 A. The history of chopsticks can tell us A. something about Chinese food B. nothing but how many kinds of chopsticks are used in China. C. about the lives of Chinese kings D. much about Chinese way of life in the past 4. Many Westerners in China like to use . A. chopsticks B. their knives C. their forks D. chopsticks and knives and forks at the same time 5. Chinese use chopsticks . A. to lift food to the mouth only B. to teach others a lesson only C. in many other ways besides taking food D. in many other ways except taking food B Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. Theysaid that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can ’t imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet. Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones. And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet. 6. In the writer’s opinion , .A. more schools should be builtB. schools are necessaryC. schools are not necessaryD. there should be fewer schools 7. What does “a new kind of school” mean? A. A newly b uilt school.B. There a re many new students in the schoo l.C. There are many new teachers in the school.D. A school, which is linkedto Internet. 8. On the Internet, you . A. can view the new technology B. can see everything except new technology Can learn everything D. can do whatever you like 9. Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A. The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers. B. If you are not a student, you cannot view the new technology on the Internet. C. O n the Internet, you can visit another city’s library as easily as the local people. D. Technology will change our way of learning. 10. What is the best title for this passage?A. InternetB. SchoolC. New TechnologyD. will Technology Take the Place of Schools? 三．综合填空Museums have changed. They are no longer places that one “should”go but to (1) e_____. At a (2) s______ museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children’s Museum in New York,you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” (3) s_____in some other museums in the USA. More and more museum directors have realized that people learn beat when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to (4) t_____, listen,operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves. The (5) p____ is not only to provide fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people don’t understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it. One cause of all these (6) c____ is the increase in wealth and spare time. (7) A_____ cause is the growing number of young people. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different (8) w_____. The old museums have been changing and the government is (9) e_____ the building of new, modern museums. In the States and Canada, there are more than 6 000 museums,almost twice as (10) m____ as there were 25 years ago 四.短文还原Why do I want to go to college? 1.___________________________But many times I have asked myself.I have come up with a whole variety of reasons. 2.______________________ Many things make human beings different from or better than or even superior to animals3.________________________ ___ If I fail to receive higher education, my education will not finish. As I want to be a fully developed man, I must get a well-rounded education, which good colleges and universities are supposed to provide.4.______________ But colleges and universities are among the best ways to teach me how to educate myself.5.________________________ Then I will be a better human being and be able to better fit into society.

One of the most important things is education.E. The young should always respect the old.F. In a word, I must bewell-educated. 五．阅读表达 We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it. What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finis hing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computerprogramming. What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And some said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like t o be able to fly! Conclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most stude nts hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true. 1. What is the most popular choice of job. ?______________________________ 2. Why would some students like to start work as soon as possible?___________________________________________________ 3. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.________________________________________ 4. Are teenagers hopes different or similar, according to the survey?_____________________________________________________ 5. What’s the title of the passage?____________________________________________________ 六．写作音乐在我们的日常生活中扮演着很重要的角色，请根据以下提示以“The role of music”为题写一篇100字左右的文章。

And he9 donations from others. He said he felt10 because of kind offers, but he could depend on his own work.
