When my sister and I played together, we often got into fights and got angry with each other if we did 14 wrong.

Of course, some have three or more. In China, most children don’t have brothers 17 sisters, and they have to learn those things in 18 ways, which is more difficult.When I moved away to university, my sister wished that I still lived at home.

People who know each other very well—close friends, family or neighbors—visit each other’s houses without an invitation, but usually an invitation is needed. When people invite someone to their homes, they often say: “Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are: “Thanks. We’d love to.What time?” or “I’m sorry. We’d love to but we have tickets for the concert.” However, it is not polite to say “No, we wouldn’t”!Sometimes, the British use expressions that sound like invitations. For example: “You must come over for a drink sometime.” or “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are: “Yes, that would be nice.” or “OK, yes, thanks.” So next time, you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?31．It’s always necessary for ______ to visit each other’s houses with an invitation.A. close friendsB. family membersC. neighboursD. new friends32．It is not polite to answer the real invitation by saying “_________”A.

No, we wouldn’t!33．If the British just want to end a talk politely, they may say, “_________”A. Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?B. Let’s go out for a meal one of thes e days.C. Let’s go out for a meal on Saturday.D. Shall we go for a drink this afternoon?34．The British often use “________” to answer the invitations that are not real.A. Yes, what time?B. No, that’s not a real invi tation.C. OK, yes, thanks.D. No, you just want to be friendly.35．Which is the best title for the passage?A. BritainB. Invitations in BritainC. A talk with friendsD. A DinnerBIn Singapore，many middle school students spend a lot of their time on their studies．Good education is often regarded as a ticket to success in their future．So，many of these students try their best to get a good mark in their examinations．They have a lot of homework every day and exams are a big headache．Sometimes，some of them are even made to go to remedial（补习的）classes after schoo1．Schools run programmes outside school hours．The students can take part in sports and games，music and dance，hiking and rock—climbing，etc．They are also very active in community service（社区服务）.In their spare time，most students like to listen to pop music．Hollywood blockbusters（大片），Hong Kong and Singapore movies are very popular among them．They understand IT very well．Some of them also spend their free time surfing the Internet，e—mailing their friends，playing computer and video games．They sometimes go to cafes，fast—food restaurants，shopping centers and big bookstores．So，it looks like life as a middle school student in Singapore is not easy but it is rich and colorful.36．Many students want to get good education to be _____ in the future．A．popular B．successful C．comfortable D．generous37．_____ go to remedial classes after school in SingaporeA．A11 of the students B．Few of the studentsC．Not all the students D．Most of the students38．In the school，the students can’t ______ outside school hours.A．have sports B．dance C．go hiking D．go to a restaurant 39．According to the passage，most students in Singapore like ______.A．Hollywood blockbusters B．writing to their friendsC．talking to their friends D．having exams40．The meaning of the underlined sentence in the passage is ________.A．the middle schoo1 students’ life in Singapore is easyB．the middle school students’ life in Singapore is amazing (疯狂的)C．the middle school students’ life in Singapore is boringD．the middle school students’ life in Singapore is hard，but it’s interestingCMr. Zhang is on business in France.

All I did was nodding my head as a way of showing my agreement.Finally, she stopped, “I’m very sorry for keeping you here, 13 I feel relaxed now!”“It’s OK, madam. It’s part of my duty (职责)!” I smiled.Ms. Aragon taught me one of 14 lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes, patients do not need expensive medicine.

I went for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it. “It’s mine! I was the only one who found it!” I shouted. “You are my elder brother. You should give it to me!” said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily, within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized how foolish we had been. If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learned a good lesson.29．The writer’s brother thought he should get the pudding because ________.A．he found it by himself B．he made it by himself C．he was olderD．he was younger30．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The dog.B．The pudding.C．The plate.D．The fridge. 31．What do the underlined words “lap up” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．share B．move C．eat D．pull32．The two brothers would learn to ________ from then on.A．share things with each other B．make puddingC．wash the plates D．clean the roomBenjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to tell his father what he had been doing.The cat’s situation was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) which were drawn by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a land-scape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was im-pressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,“Those two books were my companions (伙伴) by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.33．What is the passage mainly about?A．Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.B．Williams’s influence on Benjamin.C．The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.D．The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.34．What can we infer (推断) from the paragraph 3?A．The cat would be closely watched.B．The cat would get some medical care.C．Benjamin would leave his home shortly.D．Benjamin would no longer use the cat’s fur to make a brush.35．What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?A．He gave him some painting materials.B．He took him to see painting shows.C．He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.D．He taught him how to make engravings. 36．Williams’s two books helped Benjamin to ________.A．master the use of paints B．make up his mind to be a painterC．get to know other painters D．appreciate landscape paintingsIf the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.If you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable.

She then walked to it, when Toto, her pet dog, had already run around under the post and barked.“Good day.” said the Straw Man.“Did you speak?” asked the girl in wonder. “How do you do?”“I’m not feeling well,” said the Straw Man, with a strange smile painted on its face, “for it is very uncomfortable to be put here night and day.”“Can’t you get down?”“No, for this post is in my back. If you please take it away, I shall be greatly thankful.”Dorothy reached up both arms and lifted the Straw Man off the post and took it out of the field. “Thank you very much,” said the Straw Man,“I feel like a new man. Who are you? And where are you going?”“My name is Dorothy,” said the girl, “and I am going to the Emerald City (翡翠城), to ask the Great Oz to send me back to my home.”“And who is Oz?” he asked.“Why, don’t you know?” she returned in surprise.“No, indeed. I don’t know anything. You see, I am just made of straw (稻草), so I have no brains at all,” he answered sadly. “If I go with you, will Oz give me some brains?” he asked.“I can not tell,” she returned, “but you may come with me, if you like. Even if Oz can not give you any brains, you will still not be worse.”“That is true,” said the Straw Man. “I do not want people to call me a fool. The farmers laughed at me when they were making me, saying that if my head stays with just straw instead of with brains, I will know nothing.”“Oh, dear. I understand how you feel. If you come with me, I’ll ask Oz to do all he can for you.”However, Toto did not like this addition to the party at first.

He had always been interested in farming and decided to do something to make farming even better.As he passed through the countryside on his journeys for his work, he looked out at the fields. Some of them were greener and growing better than others. He was lost in thought. How could a farmer do better? Surely there must be rules that would help them. He thought he could use his knowledge to find out the best ways for farmers and write a book to help them. In doing so, he collected information from farmers who did well, studied it and even did experiments to find the best way.For example, he advised farmers to clear. harmful grass in the ground. They could either let the animals eat the grass or turn earth over so that the grass was covered and would be cleared. Then he gave advice on turning over earth. The first time each year, farmers should dig deeply, but the second time should be less deep. He suggested changing plants in the field every year: rice one year and wheat the next so that they would always get good harvests (丰收). He also gave advice on how to fish, keep a garden and even make wine.He wrote down his advice in a book called “Qi Min Yao Shu”, with 10 p arts, 92 pieces of articles and more than 110,000 words. “Qi Min” refers to the ordinary people, while “Yao Shu” means the important ways for making a living. The name of the book shows the writer’s hope to call for the attention to the farming production and making people live a happy life.For centuries after Jia Sixie died, Qi Min Yao Shu was still used and studied by Chinese farmers and students of farming. Qi Min Yao Shu also had great influence in the other countries. For example, Darwin (1809–1882), the famous Britain scientist, had used some examples to support his famous theory, the Evolution Theory (《进化论》). Some European and American scientists have studied the book and called it “a practical, outstanding and complete farming scientific achievement”.30. Why did Jia Sixie write Qi Min Yao Shu?A．He had collected good advice from experienced farmers.B．He wanted to improve farming and bring better lives for farmers.C．He wanted to spread Chinese ways of farming to other countries.D．He passed through the countryside and was impressed by the beautiful view.31. What advice did Jia Sixie give to help improve farming?A．He suggested doing experiments on how to make wine.B．He thought that the grass should be mixed with the plants.C．He advised farmers to dig less deep in the second time of a year.D．He called for greater attention to studying animals on the farms.32. Why did the writer include the last paragraph?A．To show how useful and famous Qi Min Yao Shu is.B．To give an advertisement for Qi Min Yao Shu .C．To explain why people accept Jia Sixie’s idea.D．To tell why Qi Min Yao Shu becomes so popular.① We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our communication with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.② Just like spoken language, the meanings of body language differ from culture to culture. The important thing is using body language in a way that is acceptable to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries is a way to display interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person.③The ge sture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person using the gesture might think it means money. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil, as it is not polite. Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have an opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the face when they meet. Elsewhere, people prefer shaking hands or nodding the head when they meet someone else.④ Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means “sleep”. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.⑤ Besides difference in meanings, different uses of some body language are also worth studying. Perhaps the best example is smiling. It would be a good idea to use smile to help us get through difficult time and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down misunderstandings. We can use a smile to say sorry, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.33. In Bulgaria, if you don’t agree with your local friend, which of the following gesture will you use?A．B．C．D．34. How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph ③?A．By giving instructions on how to use body language.B．By offering suggestions on when to use body language.C．By using examples of body language with different meanings.D．By comparing the difference between words and body language.35. What special can we learn about the body language in Brazil?A．Nodding your head means “No”.B．It is impolite to use the gesture for “OK”.C．People hug each other when meeting their friends.D．Putting hands together on the side of your head means “sleepy”.36. Which picture best shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．TV for Dogs?Yes!Really!DOGTV is the first TV channel made to bring fun videos and music for dogs.

Together, they’ve bred (繁育) seventeen baby pandas since the 1990s.“Giant pandas are not just a national treasure of China,” said Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. “ 43 They’re bridges for friendship.”44 They all live at Zoo Atlanta. That agreement is about to end later this year. In February, China announced that it would send a pair of pandas to the San Diego Zoo. 45 China has selected Yun Chuan and Xin Bao for this special trip.Have you ever heard of Mulan?

Make phone calls．CMy house is made of wood，glass and stone．It is also made of software．If you come to visit，you'll probably be surprised when you come in．Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear．This PIN tells the house who and where you are．The house uses this information to give you what you need．When it's dark outside the PIN turns on the lights nearest you，and then turns them off as you walk away from them．Music moves with you too．If the house knows your favorite music，it plays it．The music seems to be everywhere，but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music．If you get a telephone call，only the nearest telephone rings．Of course，you are also able to tell the house if you want something．There is a home control console （控制台），a small machine that turns things on and off around you．The PN and the console are new ideas，but they are in fact like many things we have today．If you want to go to a movie，you need a ticket．If I give you my car keys，you can use my car．The car works for you because you have the keys．My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console．I believe that several years from now on，most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house．The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today．I like to try new ideas．I know that some of my ideas will work better than others．But I hope that one day I won't think these systems are new any more，and ask myself instead，"How didI live without them"36.The writer's house is NOT made of ______ ．A. bricksB. woodC. glassD. software37.What can't be done in the writers new house______A.

The writer can't live without the house．B. The writer won't invent new things any more．C. The writer will stop thinking new ideas about the house．D. The writer hopes to make life intelligent in the future．DLanguage changes all the time．New words and phrases appear and develop．The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults．Living in a multicultural society （多元文化的社会）has an effect on language，especially on young people，whose friends are often from different countries．TV and music also have big influence on the language of the young．Often UK singers sing in American accents （口音）without realizing．Young British people use lots of language that you usually can't find in most dictionaries．These informal （非正式的）words and expressions are known as ‘slang' （俚语）．It is not possible to make a complete list of modem British slang．By the time the list was finished，it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashions．However，here are a few examples．Safe，sorted，sound，cool or wicked all mean "That's good" or "I understand"．Instead of using different tag questions like…"isn't it？"，"can't you？"，or "don't they？" people use innit．Instead of saying "very，really" or "completely"，people use well．Whatever means "I don't care"．‘ He's fine' or ‘He's fit' both mean ‘He's good-looking'．Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl．Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it．A school in Sheffield，in the north of England，recently stopped its pupils using slang words such as hiya （hello），cheers and ta （both mean thank you）．The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak‘correctly'，this will help them get a place at university and a good job．When British people use language like this，ifs no surprise that some students say they can't understand native （本土的）speakers．But perhaps learners don't need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much．Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language．41.This passage would most likely be found in a book of ______ ．A. storyB. cultureC. travelD. history42.In the UK，you can't find slang in ______ ．A. pop songsB.

CheersB. ReallyC. That's goodD. Good-looking45.Which slang can be used in the following dialogue？______--But the teacher says we can't leave before we finish the work．-- ______ ．I'm going．A. SoundB. FineC. CoolD.
