After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside.__34__this time she was__35__two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She__36__me here to give you these.” Terry was very__37__by what he saw.

Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.

Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.

But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.

In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.

9. What can we learn about the Character Hero?

A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.

B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.

C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.

D. It draws great public attention across the country.

10. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?

A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.

B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.

C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.

D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.

11. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.

A. necessary for adults to survive in China

B. a requirement made by the Education Ministry

C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive

D. an ability to be developed only when you are students

12. Where does this text probably come from?

 A. A news report. B. A science report. C. An advertisement. D. Children’s literature.

Climate change may actually benefit some plants by lengthening growing seasons and  41   (increase) carbon dioxide. Yet other effects of   42   warmer world, such   43    more pests, droughts, and flooding, will be worse.  44    will the world adapt to the changes? By using an aggressive climate model   45    (know) as Beingbetter. Researchers at the Research Institute predict that by 2050,  46   (suit) farmlands for four top farming   47    (produce), corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat, will have greater changes. In some cases the farmlands will push farmers   48    (plant) new crops. A climate researcher   49    (say) that some farmlands may benefit from warming in the future, but others won’t. However, the winners, researchers say, will be farmers   50   modernize their methods and diversify their fields.

    Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.

    Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.

    Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.

    Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

    In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen.     Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.

    There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.

45. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our___.

   A. self-respect    B. financial rewards    C. advertising ability  D. friendly relationship

46. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to___.

   A. lying        B. stealing           C. cheating          D. advertising

47. The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention"(in Para. 5) means___.

   A. telling the truth to the clerk  B. offering advice to the clerk

   C. asking the clerk to be more attentive  D. reminding the clerk of the charged item

48. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?

   A. We'll be very excited.  B. We'll feel unfortunate.

   C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.

49. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

   A. How to Live Truthfully    B. Importance of Peacefulness

   C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

 The driver had to _______ at the traffic light even if he was driving rather fast.

Bruce Jun Fan Lee was born in the hour of the Dragon, between 6 and 8 a.m., in the “Year of the Dragon” on November 27, 1940 at the Jackson Street Hospital in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Today, a plaque (牌匾) in the hospital’s entry remembers the place of his birth. Bruce’s birth, in the hour and the year of Dragon, is a powerful symbol in Chinese astrology (星相学). It would be a strong indication of the powerful life that was to be lived by Bruce Lee and the explosive influence his life would have on countless others.

At the age of three months, Lee Hoi Chuen, his wife Grace and baby Bruce returned to Hong Kong where Bruce would be raised until the age of 18. Probably because of the long ocean voyage and the change in climates, Bruce was not a strong child in his very early years, a condition that would change when he took up the study of kung fu at the age of 13.

At the age of 13, Bruce was introduced to Master Yip Man, a teacher of the Wing Chun style of kung fu. For five years Bruce studied diligently and became very proficient. Regarding Yip Man as a master teacher and wise man, Bruce respected him greatly and frequently visited with him in later years. When he first took up kung fu, he used his new skills to fight his “enemies”, but it did not take long for Bruce to learn that the real value of martial arts training is that the skills of physical combat (搏斗) build up confidence to the point that one does not feel the constant need to defend one’s honor through fighting.

In high school, Bruce, now no longer a weak child, was beginning to improve his body through hard training. One of his accomplishments was winning an interschool Boxing Championship against an English student. Given the graceful movements, which would later be spectacularly displayed in his films, it is no surprise that Bruce was also an excellent dancer, and in 1958 he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship.

At the age of 18, Bruce was looking for new prospect in his life, as were his parents who were discouraged that Bruce had not made much progress academically. His family decided that it was time for him to return to the land of his birth and find his future there. In April of 1959, with $100 in his pocket, Bruce boarded a steamship and began his voyage to San Francisco.

32. The plaque at the entrance of the Jackson Street Hospital is considered as ________.

   A. an obvious sign of Bruce’s powerful life        B. a strong influence of Bruce’s life on others

   C. a reminder of Bruce Lee’s birthplace           D. a powerful symbol in Chinese astrology

33. Bruce didn’t have a strong body until ________.

   A. he practiced boxing in high school            B. he took up kung fu with Master Yip Man

   C. he won a dancing championship              D. he returned to the land of his birth

34. Learning kung fu diligently from Master Yip Man, Bruce soon realized that ________.

   A. one can’t master kung fu skills without much practice

   B. only through physical combat can one defend his honor

   C. one can never defeat himself unless trained by a master

   D. excellent kung fu skills can strengthen one’s confidence considerably

35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

   A. Bruce didn’t have outstanding academic achievements in school

   B. Master Yip Man offered to teach Bruce Chinese kung fu for free

   C. Bruce’s parents sent him back to San Francisco for better education

   D. Bruce made a big fortune by participating in boxing competitions

If you are a fruit grower---or would like to become one---take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards (果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

28. What can people do at the apple events?

A. Attend experts’ lectures.         B. Visit fruit-loving families.

C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.     D. Taste many kinds of apples.

29. What can we learn about Decio?

A. It is a new variety.              B. It has a strange look.

C. It is rarely seen now.            D. It has a special taste.

30. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. A practical idea.        B. A vain hope.        C. A brilliant plan.     D. A selfish desire.

31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show how to grow apples.            B .To introduce an apple festival.

C. To help people select apples.             D. To promote apple research.

Have you ever thought of quitting your job when you feel exhausted? Maybe most of you would say “yes”. After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.
    Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him. ”
    Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends.
    So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me. I’ve noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. I’ve met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didn’t speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone.
    Instead of keeping me off from the world, stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.
24. According to the story, the man on the bus threw away his cell phone because   

______.

25. We can learn from the passage that cell phones ______.

26. What can we learn about the author?

27. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

Throughout history, people are now aware that Australian cuisine was based on the old British cooking which was handed down by the first settlers. Modern Australian cuisine, however, has been heavily influenced by Australia’s Asian and Southeast Asian neighbors. The trend, motivated by the government health programs, is towards low-fat healthy cookery including low-fat meat and lightly cooked colorful, steamed or fried vegetables. Besides, like many English families, in many Australian homes, a widespread tradition of having roast turkey, chicken, and ham for Christmas lunch or dinner still remains.

Basically speaking, breakfast is comparatively light for most Australians. But in the colder regions porridge or meals similar to the full English breakfast may be consumed. In recent years, however, most Australian people prefer light breakfast in order to control their weight. The light breakfast commonly consists of cereals, toast and fruit. A heavier breakfast will frequently include fried bacon, eggs, mushrooms, etc. Drinks consumed at breakfast include tea, coffee, milk or juice.

The meal in the evening is the main meal of the day for most Australians. When consumed at home, it is often eaten with members of the immediate family. The dishes served will vary widely according to the tastes and background of the family. A typical Australian restaurant might offer sandwiches, chicken or other meat-based dishes and cakes.

In recent years, take-away food is becoming popular in Australia. American style chain restaurants are common including Subway, KFC, and Mcdonald’s.

With the high portion of immigration from the Middle East，South and Southeast Asia，Korea，China and other countries from all over the world to Australia，any authentic and high-quality restaurants are run by first and second generation immigrants from these areas.

21. According to the first paragraph, what does the Australian government encourage its people to do?

   A. To have roast turkey for Christmas dinner.

   B. To try to eat low-fat healthy foods.

   C. To use traditional British cooking methods

   D. To learn from Asian neighbors to cook foods.

22. The main idea of the second paragraph is_____.

   A. what Australian people drink at breakfast.

   B. what breakfast Australian people have nowadays.

   C. that Australians often have a heavy breakfast.

   D. that most Australian people don’t have breakfast to lose weight.

23. The underlined part “the immediate family” in Paragraph 3 probably mean people who_____.

   A. have the same family names.

   B. do some cooking together at times.

   C. live next to one another in the same area.

   D. are very directly-related members of a family

24. From the passage, we can learn that_____.

   A. fewer and fewer immigrants enter Australia every year

   B. Subway is a chain restaurant and it is from the South America

   C. home cooking is becoming more and more popular in Australia

   D. Asian and Southeast Asian countries have a great impact on the modem Australian food.

 Different kinds of soil conservation methods are used by farmers to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.

Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.

There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.

However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.

There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.

8.  What is a windbreak according to the passage?

A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.

B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.

C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.

D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.

9. When can windbreaks be most effective?

A. The trees are planted one by one.

B. The trees and plants grow in a line.

C. The trees grow as high as they can.

D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.

10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation?

B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.

C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.

D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.

Nowadays, more and more schools in China have rules making students wear school uniforms to school. A lot of Chinese students complain about_ 61  (wear) their school uniforms every day. But do American students get   62 (annoy) about their uniforms, too? American high schools usually have a dress code(衣着标准),   63  is about requirements for students' dressing. Boys at school must wear clean jackets every day. Girls are   64     (luck) than boys, for they have more flexible   65  (choose) than boys. They can either dress similarly to the boys    66  wear a dress. In general, it takes a student 10-15 minutes every morning   67   (dress) up for class. As students do in China, plenty of American students also have their complaints about school uniforms. What if students really dislike the dress code and want to get rid of it? Instead of getting punished,   68 (actual) there're ways to do that. At my school, "dress down" tickets  69  (sell) on school days. If students are willing to buy a ticket, they don't need to wear school uniforms the following day. I have a strong  70   (believe) that one day Chinese students can buy these tickets, too.

 It was with great courage ________ the boy told the truth ________ he had stolen the money.

   Do you find getting up in the morning so different that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

   During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're “hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak（项峰）．For some people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and- energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

       You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr．Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract （对抗） your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour．This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam （鼓起干劲） and work better at your low point.

       Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

61. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably________．

       A. he is a lazy person

       B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

       C. he is not sure when his energy is low

       D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

62. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?

       A. Unawareness of energy cycles．

       B. Familiar monologues．

       C. A change in a family member's energy cycle．

       D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members．

63. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should________．

       A. change his energy cycle                  B. overcome his laziness

       C. get up earlier than usual                   D. go to bed earlier

64. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________.

   A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

   B. help you to control your temper early in the day

   C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work

   D. keep your energy cycle under control all day

65. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

       A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy

       B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day

       C. Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle

       D. Children have energy cycles, too

    This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life．

    Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling．The

author, W．H．Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing．In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself．The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees．Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text．I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all．

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history．He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history．Well, he was a history teacher — if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across．To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts．As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind．Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics．

My other comment is that the text aged．The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s — none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s．As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age．

These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion．I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student．
