II. Reading comprehension（15*2’=30’）
Passage 1
When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday best.
But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware and stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.
Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs—one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.
Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television.
Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party.
Too often, the perfect moment never comes. lron a fine-patterned tablecloth Forget it. Polish the silver Who has time
Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially.
In many homes nowadays people tend to ______.
stick to formal traditions when they dine
set their tables with the good dishes and silver bowls
have dinner informally
buy many set of fine china
Why do people tend to follow the trend to casual dining ______.
Family members need more time to relax.
Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.
People prefer to live a comfortable life.
D. Young people won’t follow the etiquette of the older generation.
3. It can be learned from the passage that “Royal Doulton” is ______.
a stone of steel tableware
a stone of stoneware
a store of pottery chain
D. a producer of fine china
4. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is ______.
the increased value of the pound
the worsening economy in Asia
the change in people’s way of life
D. the fierce competition at home and abroad
5. In the last paragraph we can find that formal table manners though less popular than before in present social life ______.
are still a must on certain occasions
are certain to return sooner or later
are still being taught by parents at home
D. can help improve personal relationships
Passage 2
When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere, know his big hits. They love songs like "Hey Porter", "Ring of Fire", and "Follow Prison Blue”.
Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear--and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek It's a bullet hole, of course!
In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is "Mr Tough (violent) Guy". He's an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.
In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--a story. True, years ago he had a "drug habit "for a short time. He "popped" pills. But he never used heroin or other "hard "drugs. Some- times he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours . But he never served a prison sentence. There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in song. As for the "bullet hole”, it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).
People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a "gentle guy", a "generous guy”-anything but a "tough guy". How did the stories get started Some of them like the story about the "Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the "bullet hole", simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. "They just want to believe it," he says.
6. Johnny Cash is a favourite of many ______.
opera lovers
country music fans
hard-rock fans
jazz music lovers
7. In truth, Johnny Cash ______.
invented the “Indian grandmother”
used to kill rabbits for a living
had a bullet hole on his cheek
served a long prison sentence
8. In his private life, Johnny Cash is, ______.
much wilder than he looks
much smaller than he is on stage
much tougher than he is in public
much more gentle than most people suppose
9. The passage shows us that many people believe ______.
Only what they see
What they are sure is true
Only what they hear
What they find interesting
10. The passage may comes from ______.
a storybook

Passage 3
Five Ways to Go Green and Save Green
Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyonce’s “going green.” We're glad you
want to take action, too. Luckily, many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can
make our lives better. Let’s start now.
Save energy to save money.
Set your thermostat (恒温器) a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
11 As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heat the water.
Unplug electrical equipment when you’re not using it.
Save water to save money.
Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
Plant drought-tolerant (耐早的) native plants in your garden. 12 Find out about these plants in your area.
Fix a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your money.
13
Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your health and reducing your risk of being fat.
Eat smart.
If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
14. Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
Avoid bottled water.
15
Use a water filter to make drinking water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it causes large amounts of container waste.
A. When speaking of something to eat, try local products whenever you can.
B. Our grandchildren and their children will thank us for living green.
C. Bring a reusable water bottle with you when traveling or at work.
D. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.

范文
Dear Editor,
When it comes to the selection of the columns for the school English newspaper, opinions vary from one to another. As far as I am concerned, the columns preserved will definitely make a feature of students interest and exert positive effects on their study and life.
Comparatively speaking, I maintain that the value of the columns concerning health and culture far outweighs that of the entertainment. The immediate factor is nothing more valuable than keeping healthy in that loss of health signifes kissing goodbye to life. That’s why more knowledge of how to keep fit, more effectively one can improve his quality of life. The second point to be mentioned is that progress in the acquisition of cultures contributes to broadening ones horizons, which in turn facilitates ones study and the establishment of philosophy of life.
As for the addition,the career planning constitutes a top priority. For one thing, it concerns ones career development a great deal while for another, it makes a great difference to ones career success in the future.
I am pretty convinced that a wise choice makes perfect. I am writing the e-mail in the hope that my advice will add a brilliant touch to the improved version of our school English newspaper.
Yours sincerely,
Cheng Fei
