They paste Spring Festival Couplets(春联),greeting the New Year and saying goodbye to the old year. On the first day of the Spring Festival, people hang out, wearing new clothes. Nowadays, children get red pockets from their parents and their relatives. It is a good time for people to visit relatives and friends. More importantly, the Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world.The Spring Festival was celebrated in the UK from 1980. Every New Year, people also get together and have lots of activities. They sing songs and share with friends or watch movies in the cinema. Besides the Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living in the Us. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional New Year. The Chinese New Year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebration across Australia. Thousands of people come to Sydney's Chinatown. They enjoy fireworks and lion dances. The Family dinner on New Year's Eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China. They usually hold it at home because having it in a restaurant takes away the meaning of the tradition. ( )l.

FiveBMany Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas.Mother’s Day originated(起源) in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accept.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial (孝顺的) devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of Taste Liquid (液体的)Medicine for Mother""tells us the filial virtue (美德) of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it.Also, mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like "Song of the Parting Son"by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers-the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.( )6. When did Mothers Day spread to China?A. In the 1920.B. In the 1980.C. In the Western Han dynasty.D. In the Tang dynasty.( )7. What is the poem of " Song of the Parting Son"mainly about?A. The filial virtue of Emperor Wen.B. Caring for the old.C. Traditional Chinese medicine.D. A mother’s love for her son.( )8. Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of .A. its wide spread in many countriesB. our ancient stories of respecting parentsC. our traditional cultural valuesD. its simple way of expressing love( )9. What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother?( )10. What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be .A. a big dinnerB. a celebration partyC. Greetings of the festivalD. expensive presentC阅读下面短文,完成表格。

The character, first played by Xu in the 1992 period comedy movie Royal Tramp(《鹿鼎记》), wearing a red hat and long beard, looks much like Old Saint Nick. While Chinese netizens enjoy the “Chinese Santa”, Westerners living in China are making it more interesting to celebrate Christmas.As we know, in the US, families get together and decorate their homes with colorful lights and a tree. They have a big fancy dinner with turkey and pie. And on Christmas morning, they all sit under the tree and open their presents.But here in Beijing, many foreign friends celebrate Christmas a bit differently. One of the things they like to do is to have a Christmas potluck dinner. This is a group dinner where each guest brings a dish they made at home. They bring dishes like mashed potatoes (土豆泥) and baked ham (烤火腿). It’s a fun way to get together and celebrate when they can’t all be with their own families.Another thing they enjoy is playing a game called “white elephant”. This is a gift-giving game where each person brings a “mystery gift”. They take turns trading the gifts with each other—and if someone else gets a gift that they think might be good, they even have one chance to steal it! Everyone ends up with an unusual gift.There is also an event called Santacon. It’s an all-day party where people dress like Santa Claus and go to different places in a big group. It’s a fun way to spend time with your friends and meet new people. 26.What does the “Chinese Santa” look like according to the passage?A.B.C.D.27.The second paragraph mainly describes .A.what people in the US receive on Christmas DayB.when people in the US exchange Christmas giftsC.how people in the US decorate their homesD.how people in the US celebrate Christmas28.What do people do at a potluck dinner?A.They go to a restaurant and have a big dinner together.B.Everybody brings a home-made dish to share with others.C.They get together to make dinner at a party.D.They order some food and share it at a party.29.Which of the following is a game?A.Potluck dinner. B.White elephant. C.Mashed potatoes. D.Holding a Santacon.30.The last paragraph is written to .A.compare different ways of celebrating ChristmasB.show a kind of Santa Claus dressC.describe a fun Christmas eventD.encourage Chinese people to celebrate ChristmasNo Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Taipai, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5(World Environment Day). The slogan for the day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2012, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period the year before.

Here is a story to show you how important it is to speak English freely in everyday life.A foreigner once got hungry and went into a restaurant in London. He sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again in order to express that he wanted something to eat, for he could not speak English.The waiter soon brought a cup of tea. The man shook his head. The waiter then took away the tea and brought a cup of coffee. The man shook his head again. He tried again and again, but he wasn’t able to make the waiter understand him. Finally, another man came in. He spoke English clearly and fluently. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table before him.So you see a man often goes hungry if he doesn’t master a foreign language.根据短文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears(内耳). Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cell(听毛细胞) in our inner ears. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss. Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway,you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it.Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place,you might feel uncomfortable.The World Health Organization said the "safe level" for most sounds is below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to(大约相当于) the noise of a subway.( )31.

Now, two American experts believe they have the answer. After studying dozens of babies as they played with different objects, the researchers noted that they were far more unwilling to touch plants than other things. They believe this is because evolution (生物进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Because of susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (内部保护机制) that limits a child’s contact with plants,they think. The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of touching plants and why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University. They wrote, “Throughout human evoluti o n…plants have been important in human’s life. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.”“Plants produce toxin (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also produce physical defences, such as thorns (荆棘) can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.”They added, “We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce dangers caused by plants.”To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were pretended to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.46. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. the parentsB. the researchersC. the babiesD. the plants47. What does the underlined word “wary” in t he first paragraph mean?A. curiousB. afraidC. tiredD. certain48. What did early humans probably do in order to keep away from ilLness or injury?A. They choose to make more man-made things.B. They didn’t allow their children to touch plants.C. They chose to have little contact with plants.D. They tried very hard to escape from the past.49. What was plants’ role in early human’s life?A. They were important, in spite of danger.B. They reacted badly to human evolution.C. They contributed to the most deaths and illness.D. They developed human physical defences against dangers.50. What’s the passage mainly about?A. Why some plants are harmful.B. How humans react to plants.C. Why children don’t like to eat greens.D. When children form behavioural strategies.BMoments before I could lift my case to put it in the plane’s overhead locker ahead of our recent holiday to Europe, my father gently urged me to stop. He held the thick handles of the case and lifted it with his thin arms, pushing it into place with a sigh. “You should relax and be the lady, and let me do the heavy tasks,” he said seriously. “In the future, someone special will come into your life and take over such tasks from me, but that will never happen if you do everything yourself.”I was stunned into silence. This was not the father I remembered from childhood, who trained me to study hard at school, asked me to earn my own pocket money as a teenager at a local coffee shop, and even taught me household chores so that my life alone i n London wouldn’t turn into a mess. But then, eight years after I left home and started a new life in the UK, I realized for the first time that my dad still has expectations for me to be like a princess and to stay dependent and delicate, which were considered necessary qualities of women in traditional China.Well, that came a little late. Little did dad know that over the three years of my university life, I moved flats five times all by myself, dragging suitcases of books and clothes, and waiting for the taxi in the rain while holding tight onto cardboard boxes. Meanwhile, living in the UK a country currently led by a female prime minister I have never thought there is anything girls cannot do. Most of my female friends are professionals working in the City of London, and after work, we frequently go down to the pub for a drink, just like the guys do something my mother never did.I wondered how I might make dad understand the new world his little girl has entered. Perhaps one day, he will realize that “someone special” in my life will appreciate my confidence and independence above dependence, and admit that times have changed.51. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. annoyed.B. embarrassed.C. surprised.D. excited.52. W hat qualities of women did traditional Chinese appreciate according to Paragraph 2?A. Dependent and gentle.B. Hardworking and tough.C. Beautiful and confident.D. Independent and ambitious.53. What’s the author’s purpose by mentioning her stay in London?A. To complain how strict her father was.B. To describe how hard her life in the UK was.C. To regret not working hard enough at school.D. To show she was used to living independently.54. What can we infer about the author according to the last paragraph?A. She has a misunderstanding of her father.B. She thinks women should be independent.C. She longs to meet her life partner in the UK:D. She is thankful for her father’s strict training.CWhen Liberia was my home, they called it sweet. Sweet was the word I remembered most during the war. When I was five, my father, two sisters and I fled from Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia, and headed north on foot among panicked masses of criers a journey that ended in a village where we hid from flying bullets (子弹). Every dawn, my sisters and I joined my father and covered the pages of his small journal with words. My favorite word to write was“‘sweet,” one that had the power to numb the reality of our 6-month abandonment (抛弃) by peace and civilization.Eventually, we were considered the lucky ones: part of the wave of refugees who left Liberia in 1990 to settle in America. My mother studied at Columbia University at the time, and we made our new home in her dormitory while awaiting her graduation. My father who left early in the mornings looked for work or news of a possible return to Liberia, only to return home with nothing to give us but new words to write in notebooks. He quickly found that the education he received in Liberia was not good enough for an engineering job in the United States. So he took whatever job he could find to make sure we always had food on the table and books.In 2011, I founded a children’s book publishing company: One More Book. It provides children’s literature for the children of countries with low literacy (识字) rates and underrepresented cultures by publishing culturally relevant books that have something meaningful to say to them. My hope is to give children the peace I was given through the words of my father, by allowing them to see themselves in literature. I also think it is important to provide books about foreign countries to children in the United States, to increase the overall awareness of the world outside them.I will never be able to give my father back the twenty years he spent working to educate us, or the home and life in Liberia he lost. I repay his sacrifice (牺牲) by honoring the education he fought for and offering my art to the world, with stories that make the histories of my people come alive, and with words to live by.55. What was the author’s family’s life like in Liberia?A. Sweet and peaceful.B Frightening but positive.C. Comfortable but boring.D. Adventurous and exciting.56.
