In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too.

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railway s unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have muc h in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’op you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel saf e and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which a re traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have e nough money to buy the oil.【小题1】The writer thinks that railways are much alive because________.A ．They are cheaper and more convenient.B ．There aren’t any planes or cars.ether your result has described a REAL you.·You can e-mail us at__________and tell us wh ________________things for yourself.四、填空C ．We can have a comfortable journey.D ．We feel dangerous on highways.【小题2】According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A ．It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B ．The railway station is usually at the center of the city.C ．When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.D ．No car or plane can carry as many goods as train.【小题3】What does the underline word competitive prefer to?A ．参与性的B ．性价比高的C ．竞争性的D ．对比性的【小题4】The best title for this passage may be _________.A ．Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?B ．Railway, not the End, but the Beginning C ．Trains are More Competitive than Cars or Planes D ．Oh, Super-fast Trains15. 五、任务型阅读（共5空，每空1分，满分5分）Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident a re much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful. The following is about how to be more confident.Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. T y to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.Encourage yourself. To see how many things you have done well, you can write down a list of things you did during the day. Did you finish your home work? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.Pick up a hobby If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and conf ident.Get rid of (消除) fear. Fear comes along with failure (失败). But it's easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide yo ur head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.Being confidentAdvantagesHelp you develop a healthy attitude.Confident people will feel much happier.Confident people will have51more easilySpeak aloud to make people hear you clearly五、用所给单词的正确形式填空52of being confid ent【小题1】________【小题2】________【小题3】________【小题4】________【小题5】________16.

People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might saythat he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will e at chocolate “once in ablue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the sh （海滨）once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows themeaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression.In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has something to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certainnames with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, itis called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail（指甲）．When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the wholemoon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month.Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the secondfull moon is called a “blue moon”．Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is avery rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.(1) Which of the following would be a good example of u sing the phrase “once in a blue moon”？A. Simon often tells jokes.Simon tells joke once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend.Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day.Cindy stays up once in a bluemoon.(2) Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent shape?A. The letter “O”．B. The letter “M”．C. The letter “H”．D. The letter “C”(3) What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape.C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. A blue moon has something to do with the shape of the moon.BYou probably know that you can do many of the things with the thousands of differentmuscles in your body. But have you ever thought about how different the muscles in an animalbody are from yours? An animal’s muscles are made to do the things that are most important forits life.Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast inorder to catch their prey. The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds ofmore than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strongmuscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work invery different ways as lions do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles topush against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allowthem to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is largerthan the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake’s strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.The elephant’s long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that thenose alone has morethan 100,000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way thatpeople use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks.For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground. The nose can also be apowerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a babyelephant.The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your bodywork exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.(1) The underlined word “hunters” in Paragraph 2 means persons or animals that ________. .A. keep animals for funB. raise animals for meatC. catch animals for foodD. run after animals forexercise(2) According to the passage, what makes the muscle in your body different from an animal’A. The exercise.B. Your parents.C. The environment.D. Your needs.(3) Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (■ stands for a paragraph)D.A. B.C.CAfter living and teaching in China for 10 months, my wife and I returned to California to visitour children and friends. Many of them asked what we liked most about China. The friendlypeople, the wonderful food, and the beautiful sights were at the top of our list. Then one night,after yet another restaurant dinner with friends, I realized that there was one other thing that Ireally liked about China: No tipping.Tipping is a subject that has long interested me.In America, the three kinds of services that need tipping are waiters/waitresses, taxi drivers,and barbers. The standard tip is now between 15 % and 20% of the bill, depending on the qualityof service. Why these three particular services deserve this special treatment is a mystery to me.e flight attendant Why am I supposed to tip a waiter for bring me food when I don’t need to tip th on an airplane for doing the same thing? Why do I need to tip a taxi drive, but not the bus driver? Why am I expected to tip the barber for cutting my hair but not the dentist for fixing my teeth? Ihave been a teacher for 39 years. No one has ever tipped me after a particularly successful class or lecture.The whole concept of tipping doesn?t make any sense. I have heard that there are some expensive restaurants in major cities in the US where the restaurant does not give the waiters any salary at all due to the large amounts of the tips.The tipping problem in many European countries is solved by adding a 15 per cent to the bill.I prefer the Chinese solution: No tipping at all.When I was visiting the US this summer, I went out to dinner several times with friends.Having spent 10 month in China not even thinking about tipping, I found it irritating to have tospend extra money on the meal -- especially when the amount of the tip would every often buy a meal in China. While I understand why China, as a developing nation, has gradually accepted many Western customary practices, I hope the Chinese are wise enough to never start the unnecessary practice of tipping.(1) What made the writer realize that he liked no tipping most about China ?A. Talking with his friends .B. Returning to California.C. Giving a large amount oftips.D. Having dinner in a restaurant.(2) If the bill is ＄200 in an European restaurant, how much should a customer pay as a tip?A. ＄20 B . ＄30 C . ＄50 D. ＄100(3) Which of the sentences is true?A. All kinds of services need tipping in the US .B. The writer hoped China would never start tipping .C. The writers whole family lived in China for 10 months.D. China has never accepted any western customary practices(4) What can be the best title for the passage?A. Please stop tipping.B. My experiences in chinaC. There is no tipping in chinaD. Tipping in differentcountries.五．任务型阅读A teacher was giving talk to his students on how to deal with stress(压力). He raised a glassof water and asked the students, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”All the students tried and their answers were from 20g to 500g.“It does not matter on how heavy the glass of water is. It depends on(取决于) how long youhold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my rightarm. If I hold it for a day, you will call an ambulance(救护车). It is the same weight, but it seemsto become heavier and heavier as time passes by.”“If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on,because the burden is becoming heavier and heavier.”“What you have to do is to put down the burden, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. Otherwise I think that we will breakdown on the half way and can’t realize our dream. All of us should really keep in mind.”So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.
