How can you recognize a British, a German, and a Frenchman, apart from their accents and names
There are ways people dress, but they are very complex and would take a lot of time to explain. Some items of clothing are just more popular in some countries than in others. For example, Germans often wear sandals (凉鞋) with their socks on, which is something a Frenchman would normally never do. In Berlin, where I live, people don’t really dress as smart as they would in Paris or London. The Germans have a reputation for not caring so much about their outward appearance — as long as the clothes are comfortable, they’re happy! They also seem to love sportswear more than people anywhere else.
The French cannot queue, while the British just seem to love it. French people are always late, British people are always on time and the Germans are always early.
French people use their hands a lot more when they speak, and take a lot more time to say something. French people care a lot how things are done or said. The British do care how things are done and said, but only in a context of politeness. The Germans just care how things are done. The French and the British seem to care more how things look, for example, food products and packaging.
When it comes to food, for example in a restaurant, a Frenchman would never think of ordering beer with a meal, which is something tally normal for a German or a British.
I find the Germans the cleanest and most disciplined in public space. The French are the worst and the British somehow in between.
24．According to the passage, how can we tell the three kinds of people apart
A．By their behaviour. B．By their nicknames.
C．By the colour of their skin. D．By their facial expressions.
25．If a man is dressed in casual clothes, where does he probably come from
A．France. B．Germany. C．Britain. D．India.
26．What can you learn from the passage
A．German people care more how things look.
B．Frenchmen are strictly in order when queuing for food.
C．British people are always likely to care how things are done and said.
D．Of the three kinds of people, the Germans are the most self-controlled in public.
27．How does author explain his ideas
A．By giving numbers. B．By giving logical reasoning.
C．By making a comparison. D．By making a detailed description.
C
One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg boxes. Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember it.
I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly shopping. On that special day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the pile of boxes. For some reasons, I decided it was up to me to put the boxes back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame. He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.
28．How old was the author when he wrote this article
A．About 8 years old. B．About 18 years old.
C．About 23 years old. D．About 15 years old.
29．Who was to blame for knocking off the pile of boxes
A．The author. B．The manager.
C．A woman. D．The author’s mother.
30．Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE
A．The woman who knocked off the pile of boxes was seriously scolded by the manager.
B．The author was loudly scolded by the manager.
C．A woman carelessly knocked off the pile of boxes.
D．It was the author who tried to put the boxes back together.
31．The tone of the article expresses the author’s .
A．admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakes
B．anger to the manager for his wrong doing
C．dissatisfaction with the woman who knocked off the pile of cartons
D．regret for the mistake he made in the store

Making it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee (a spelling competition) is an amazing achievement for any kid, but for 11-year-old Neil Maes, being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely.
After receiving cochlear implants (人工耳蜗) in both ears as a baby, he had to train his brain to understand spoken words. It took countless hours of speech therapy (疗法).
“We didn’t even know that he’d be able to talk,” said his mother, Christy Maes.
Now the soft-spoken kid from Belton, South Carolina is officially one of the nation’s top young spellers. He earned the right to take the stage in the final rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Neil’s parents have always given him a tip, coaching him to always ask the pronouncer for the meaning of a word, so that he can be sure he heard it correctly. Most contestants do this anyway.
“He’s able to spell very difficult words. You tell him, ‘Spell this word,’ and he’s able to actually imagine what that sounds like in his head and spell the word. It’s actually quite impressive,” said Dr. Michael Hoa, who performed Neil’s cochlear implantation. “There’s a lot that goes into training your brain to do that.”
Neil’s parents didn’t know he was taking part in a spelling bee with his third-grade class until he came home and told them he had won. He made it all the way to his regional (地区的) bee that year, finishing second. Now a naturally shy fifth-grader, Neil is already worn out from the busy bee-week schedule, but he seems happy.
“Our main hope out of all of this was to encourage people that are going to be facing what we had to face,” Christy said.
But Neil said coming to the bee has motivated (激发) him to study even harder, so he can return next year.
“It’s just fun and I want to do it again,” Neil said.
32. What makes it difficult for Neil to enter the competition
A. He is naturally shy. B. He is unable to talk.
C. He has a hearing disability. D. He is undergoing medical treatment.
33. What does the underlined word “it” (in Para. 5) refer to
A. The tip from Neil’s parents. B. The coach’s pronunciation.
C. The meaning. D. The word.
34. What did Michael think of Neil
A. He’s amazing. B. He’s very lucky.
C. He should study harder. D. He should use his imagination.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Hard training will finally pay off B. We can do more for disabled children
C. Spelling bees are becoming more popular
D. Deaf 11-year-old competes in National Spelling Bee

A Sense of Responsibility
It’s widely acknowledged that a sense of responsibility is one of the most important qualities of a person, which has always been considered as a traditional virtue. Having a sense of responsibility is key to our success. From my perspective, it’s necessary for us students to take responsibility at home, at school and in society. The following are some ways to develop a sense of responsibility.
To begin with , when at home, we’d better offer to do the housework, such as taking out the garbage, and setting and clearing the table. In addition, we should devote ourselves to school work on time. Besides, it is of importance that we obey the law and various regulations, and strengthen our sense of responsibility by volunteering in our communities(社区).
In conclusion, having a strong sense of responsibility is very valuable to our life and society. Let’s learn to take on more responsibilities now!
