When they were six months old, they were chosen for the part of Michelle Tanner on the American TV show, Full House.The producers needed twins because there are rules about the number of hours that a child can work. This meant that one child could not play all the scenes. They took it in turns to film the scenes as Michelle. The twins looked so alike that for a long time viewers of the programme did not know that there were two of them. Full House was on TV for eight years. The twins became celebrities.A business was set up to take advantage of their popularity. Mary-Kate and Ashley products including fashion dolls, videos, books, clothes and perfumes were sold all over the world. The twins’ products were very popular with young girls. Mary-Kate and Ashley soon became millionaires.As the twins got older, they attracted more interest from the media. People wanted to know more about their lives.

be a challenge to others．" These are the words of US pilot AmeliaEarhart （1897﹣1937），a pioneer in aviation（航空领域），who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean．Earhart was born in 1897．When she was young，she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male﹣dominated（男性为主的）jobs，such as engineering and law．But in 1920，Earhart's life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger．As soon as the plane left the ground，Earhart knew that she loved flying and was determined（坚定的）to be a pilot．So she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself．To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own，she took all sorts of jobs．In 1932，Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic，becoming the first woman ever to do so．She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives．When she was nearly 40，Earhart was ready for a final challenge﹣to be the first woman to fly around the world．Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937，with her navigator（领航员）Fred Noonan．But one month later，they disappeared without a trace （踪迹）in bad weather in mid﹣flight．Her death remained a mystery until recently．A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee，US，announced that bones found in 1940 on a faraway Pacific island belonged to Earhart．Even though it's still not clear how she ended up on the island，we're one step closer to finding the answer．（1）When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone？A．In 1920．B．In 1932．C．In 1937．D．In 1940．（2）What started Earhart's interest in flying？A．Her parent's influence．B．Her teachers' encouragement．C．Her first experience as a passenger．D．Her childhood love for engineering．（3）Which of the following words best describes Earhart？A．Open﹣minded and patient．B．Creative and helpful．C．Talented and unsocial．D．Pioneering and determined．（4）What's the article mainly about？A．The inspiring life story of Earhart．B．Some possible causes of Earhart's death．C．The discovery of Earhart's bones．D．What made Earhart a great pilot．19．（8分）I passed one of my US workmates and gave her a friendly greeting．Her reply was anything but friendly．"What？""Er…you all right？" I tried again．She looked at me，showing no understanding．Then suddenly the cloud seemed to lift from her mind．"Oh，" she said．"You mean，'How am I doing？' I thought you meant I had something on my face．"As a British person coming to Beijing，I knew there would be cultural and language barriers （障碍）between Chinese people and myself．What I wasn't expecting were the cultural and language barriers between other English﹣speaking foreigners and myself．Before the 2012 London Olympic Games，the Daily Mail newspaper published a guide to British English for Americans．Some of their examples were："Those are 'chips'（炸薯条）that go with your burger，instead of fries．You'd like some potato chips？Those are 'crisps'．" And，"The best way to travel around the city during the Olympics will be by the 'underground'（'tube' in British English）．"Any conversation I have with an American is proof（证明）of why a guide like this is necessary．British people usually know the American versions of words from TV or films （sorry﹣movies），but Americans never seem to have enough knowledge about British English．The trouble is，it's not just Americans．When I speak English to non﹣English speakers，I never know whether they have learned British or American English．When they say "chips"，for example，do they mean "French fries" or "potato chips"？I can't help thinking back to the Daily Mail article，"When you talk about 'pants'…in Britain，that means underwear（内裤）．" "Trousers" is the more appropriate（恰当的）word．However，even though British English may have come first，around the world，the American way of spelling is getting more popular．Last month a survey released by US social media platform Steemit showed that English publications，now largely use the American spelling，exchanging words like "centre" for "center"．So it comes as no surprise that everyone I know just says "pants"．（1）Why does the writer mention her conversation with an American workmate at the beginning？A．To show how she gets along with American workmates in the office．B．To explain how to clear up misunderstandings between workmates．C．To introduce the differences between British and American English．D．To describe what her life looked like after she came to Beijing．（2）The underlined sentence "the cloud seemed to lift from her mind" in Paragraph 4 means" "．A．she became confident of herselfB．she came to understand the situationC．she felt excited for what she heardD．she was not sure what to do next（3）According to the passage，which of the following is WRONG？A．"Chips" in the UK is "fries" in the US．B．"Centre" in the UK is "center" in the US．C．"Trousers" in Britain is "pants" in America．D．"Are you all right？" means different things in Britain and America．（4）Which of the following would the writer probably agree with？A．British people don't care much about American English．B．Culture and language differences don't influence understanding．C．Non﹣English speakers can't tell British English from American English．D．It's necessary to know the differences between American and British English．20．（8分）If you give money to a stranger on the street，does that make you a nice person？Do you always offer to help someone struggling with heavy bags？Do you often donate blood？You may consider yourself to be a nice person，but you're probably not as nice as you think．This is a new study carried out by professors from the University of London．The study looked into whether there is a connection between nice people and their levels of health，wealth and happiness．During the study，participants（参与者）were given a list of "nice"activities and asked which ones they often do．The result was surprising 98 percent of us consider ourselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population．"In most cases，people think of themselves as nice，but it is not as simple as that，" study leader Jonathan Freeman told．The most common practices were giving directions to strangers，holding doors open and giving up seats on public transport．However，3/4 said that they rarely helped people carry heavy shopping bags，and only 1/6 often gave money to strangers．Just 1/4 donated blood often or helped someone cross the road．Though our thoughts of ourselves didn't match up with scientific research，this nicer than others thought，according to Freeman，may actually do good to us．In the study led by Freeman，those who thought themselves as "nice" were likely（可能的）to be richer，healthier and happier．"Nice" people are almost three times more satisfied with their lives and make more money compared to the "not very nice" participants．"Our study shows that participants who report that they are 'nice' scored higher on emotional intelligence（情商），and it can help them deal better with stress and troubles in their lives，" Freeman told The Independent．（1）What does the article mainly talk about？A．"Not very nice people" must be unhappier．B．Nice people must be richer and happier．C．Nice people may be happier than the "not very nice"．D．The "not very nice" may be wealthier than nice people．（2）What's the main idea for Paragraphs 3，4 and 5？A．People are probably as nice as they think．B．A new study about nice activities was carried out．C．Most people consider themselves to be nicer than others．D．People's thoughts of themselves didn't match up with scientific research．（3）According to the study，which of the following is WRONG with the participants？A．Most of them always thought of themselves nice．B．Only one in seven often gave money to strangers．C．They sometimes offer to help someone struggling with heavy bags．D．Just a quarter donated blood often or helped someone cross the road．（4）What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to（指的是）？A．The study．B．The stress．C．Being nicer to others．D．Having higher emotional intelligence．四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式．（每空一词）21．（1分）Let's work together to try out new ideas because they sound far（excite）．22．（1分）（decide），as well as

Sacramento State UniversityBAfter that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?”“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t break up. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.4.What happened LAST in the story?A. George saw a big house.B. George got some new clothes.C. George found Jim on the ground.D. George jumped off the raft into the water.5.Why did George Jackso n answer “quickly” when someone called from the house?A. George felt afraid and nervous.B. George felt happy and lucky.C. George really wanted to stay there.D. George didn’t want to lie to him.6.Which of these old sayings best fits this story?A. It never rains but it pours.B. Every dog has its day.C. Burn the candle at both ends.D. Many hands make light work.CIt could happen just about any time you step out in public.You get on an almost-empty bus, but the next passenger decides to sit right next to you. While you are waiting in line at the supermarket, the next customer stands just behind you shouting into his phone.These are attacks of the personal space invaders（入侵者）. Though preferences for personal space differ from culture to culture, we Britons do love our independence and privacy.As the British etiquette（礼仪）website Debrett's puts it, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you "pay less attention to what somebody is saying than to how close they are to you". Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you don't know that well may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. The ediplomat. com website explains; "The British are not back touchers and generally do not show feelings in public."Being a British person around people from other countries can therefore be full of problems. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to us this seems too friendly and "touchy-freely".Simple matters like how close others stand can be problematic to Britons who want to keep their own personal space. Giving advice on how to behave around a British person, Debrett's says that "if you can feel the warmth of their worried breath upon your face, then you're standing too close". So, are British people unfriendly? Far from it. The ediplomat. com website explains that we are not as "indifferent" as we may seem, but "very friendly and helpful to foreigners". However, we do have different ideas about our own space to many people from other countries. Just let us know if you're going to come any closer than arm's length, and you'll be fine!7. What is the article mainly about?A. How to make friends with British people.B. Some tips on British table manners.C. Ways in which British people show feelings.D. British people's preferences for personal space.8. If you were meeting a British person for the first time, it would be polite of you to_____, according to the article.A. kiss him/her on the cheekB. put an arm around him/herC. keep an arm's length away from him/herD. touch his/her back or shake his/her hands9. The underlined word "indifferent" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to "________".A. coldB. impatientC. modestD. gentlemanlike10. What can we conclude from the article?A. The writer of the article may be a Chinese.B. The writer of the article may be a British.C. British people like to sit next to others on empty buses.D. British people do not like staying with other Europeans.四、词汇运用 (每小题1分, 满分10分)根据句子意思, 用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。

When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others." These are the words of US pilot Amelia Earhart (1897-1937), a pioneer in aviation(航空领域）, who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.Earhart was born in 1897. When she was young, she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male-dominated（男性为主的）jobs, such as engineering and law.But in 1920, Earhart's life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying and was determined（坚定的）to be a pilot. So she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself. To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.In 1932, Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives.When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge-to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937, with her navigator（领航员）Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared without a trace(踪迹）in bad weather in mid-flight.Her death remained a mystery until recently. A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee, US, announced that bones found in 1940 on a faraway Pacific island belonged to Earhart.Even though it's still not clear how she ended up on the island, we're one step closer to finding the answer.34. When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone?A. In 1920.B. In 1932.C. In 1937.D. In 1940.35. What started Earhart's interest in flying?A. Her parent's influence.B. Her teachers' encouragement.C. Her first experience as a passenger.D. Her childhood love for engineering.36. Which of the following words best describes Earhart?A. Open-minded and patient.B. Creative and helpful.C. Talented and unsocial.D. Pioneering and determined.37. What's the article mainly about?A. The inspiring life story of Earhart.B. Some possible causes of Earhart's death.C. The discovery of Earhart's bones.D. What made Earhart a great pilot.CI passed one of my US workmates and gave her a friendly greeting. Her reply was anything but friendly."What?""Er… you all right?" I tried again.She looked at me, showing no understanding. Then suddenly the cloud seemed to lift from her mind."Oh," she said. "You mean, 'How am I doing? ' I thought you meant I had something on my face."As a British person coming to Beijing, I knew there would be cultural and language barriers (障碍）between Chinese people and myself.What I wasn't expecting were the cultural and language barriers between other English-speaking foreigners and myself.Before the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Daily Mail newspaper published a guide to British English for Americans. Some of their examples were: "Those are 'chips'（炸薯条）that go with your burger, instead of fries. You'd like some potato chips? Those are 'crisps'." And, "The best way to travel around the city during the Olympics will be by the 'underground'（'tube' in British English)."Any conversation I have with an American is proof（证明）of why a guide like this is necessary. British people usually know the American versions of words from TV or films (sorry-movies), but Americans never seem to have enough knowledge about British English.The trouble is, it's not just Americans. When I speak English to non-English speakers, I never know whether they have learned British or American English. When they say "chips", for example, do they mean "French fries" or "potato chips"?I can't help thinking back to the Daily Mail article, "When you talk about 'pants'…in Britain, that means underwear（内裤）." "Trousers" is the more appropriate(恰当的）word.However, even though British English may have come first, around the world, the American way of spelling is getting more popular.Last month a survey released by US social media platform Steemit showed that English publications, now largely use the American spelling, exchanging words like "centre" for "center". So it comes as no surprise that everyone I know just says "pants".38. Why does the writer mention her conversation with an American workmate at the beginning?A. To show how she gets along with American workmates in the office.B. To explain how to clear up misunderstandings between workmates.C. To introduce the differences between British and American English.D. To describe what her life looked like after she came to Beijing.39. The underlined sentence "the cloud seemed to lift from her mind" in Paragraph 4 means"____".A. she became confident of herselfB. she came to understand the situationC. she felt excited for what she heardD. she was not sure what to do next40. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. "Chips" in the UK is "fries" in the US.B. "Centre" in the UK is "center" in the US.C. "Trousers" in Britain is "pants" in America.D. "Are you all right? " means different things in Britain and America.41. Which of the following would the writer probably agree with?A. British people don't care much about American English.B. Culture and language differences don't influence understanding.C. Non-English speakers can't tell British English from American English.D. It's necessary to know the differences between American and British English.DIf you give money to a stranger on the street, does that make you a nice person? Do you always offer to help someone struggling with heavy bags? Do you often donate blood?You may consider yourself to be a nice person, but you're probably not as nice as you think.This is a new study carried out by professors from the University of London. The study looked into whether there is a connection between nice people and their levels of health, wealth and happiness. During the study, participants（参与者）were given a list of "nice" activities and asked which ones they often do. The result was surprising-98 percent of us consider ourselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population."In most cases, people think of themselves as nice, but it is not as simple as that," study leader Jonathan Freeman told.The most common practices were giving directions to strangers, holding doors open and giving up seats on public transport. However, 3/4 said that they rarely helped people carry heavy shopping bags, and only 1/6 often gave money to strangers. Just 1/4 donated blood often or helped someone cross the road.Though our thoughts of ourselves didn't match up with scientific research, this nicer than-others thought, according to Freeman, may actually do good to us.
