1．A.ever B．often
C．never D．always

8．A.up B．down
C．excited D．satisfied
答案：B 学校不准、家庭不让、男孩不理解使“我”打篮球的梦想根本无法实现，“我”感到心情沮丧。feel down引申为“感觉沮丧的”。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2014·景德镇市高一上学期期末质检)
As an English teach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world. I've seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars. I've attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan, and I've noticed that gold—the metal or the colour of it—is always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations.21教育网
It makes me wonder: Why do people love gold
For some people, g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old seems to be a status(地位)symbol. Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of $250,000. I'm not sure I'd spend so much money on a shirt, would you But Datta Phuge has his reason. He explains，“Some people want to own an Audi or a Mercedes. I choose gold.”
For other people, g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old is an investment(投资). The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets, it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.
And for many people, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a family heirloom(传家宝)brings together status and investment. My mother has a gold bracelet(手镯)that was given to her by her grandmother who, in turn, inherited it from her own grandmother. It's quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money. But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars. It's a beautiful object that holds many family memories. When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me, and one day, I'll pass it on to the younger generation.
Therefore, status ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and investment are good reasons to value gold. However, I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects. Think about Tutankhamen's death mask. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful
People love gold b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecause it holds their minds, their imaginations and, above all, their hearts.
文章大意：本文主要讲了全世界的人们都爱金子。人们喜爱金子有各种各样的原因，作者认为人们喜欢黄金的真正原因是它可以被制成好看的物体。
1．The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.
A．the author has traveled to many countries
B．people celebrate almost everything
C．there are many ways to use gold
D．people all over the world love gold
答案：D 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句话“...and Japan, and I've noticed that gold—the metal or the colour of it—is always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations.”可以看出第一自然段主要讲了全世界的人们都爱金子，故选D。
2．Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold because________.
A．gold is a status symbol to him
B．he loves this kind of shirt
C．people there love gold so much
D．he is a successful businessman
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )三段第一句话“For some people, gold seems to be a status(地位)symbol.”可知Datta Phuge买了一件金子做成的衬衣，是因为对他而言，金子象征着社会地位，故选A。 21*cnjy*com
3．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage, in Europe, gold could be________ per ounce in 2010.
A．$1,550 B．$1,500
C．$1,450 D．$1,600
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句话“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets, it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.”可知在欧洲市场上，金价在2011年涨到了每盎司1500美元，也就是说在2010年，金价要低于每盎司1500美元，故选C。www-2-1-cnjy-com
4．The gold bracelet is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the heirloom for the author's family mainly because ________.【版权所有：21教育】
A．it's worth a lot of money
B．it brings status and investment
C．it's a beautiful object
D．it holds family memories
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第五段第五句话“I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t's a beautiful object that holds many family memories.”可知金手镯是作者家庭的传家宝，主要是因为它保存了家族的记忆，故选D。
5．In the autho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r's opinion, the real reason why people love gold is that ________.
A．it is a status symbol to some people
B．it can be made into beautiful objects
C．it can be passed on to the younger generation
D．it can bring people a lot of money
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第六段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第二句话“However, I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects.”可知依作者来看，人们喜欢黄金的真正原因是它可以被制成好看的物体，故选B。

(2014·景德镇市高一上学期期末质检)
As an English teach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world. I've seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars. I've attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan, and I've noticed that gold—the metal or the colour of it—is always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations.21教育网
It makes me wonder: Why do people love gold
For some people, g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old seems to be a status(地位)symbol. Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of $250,000. I'm not sure I'd spend so much money on a shirt, would you But Datta Phuge has his reason. He explains，“Some people want to own an Audi or a Mercedes. I choose gold.”
For other people, g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old is an investment(投资). The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets, it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.
And for many people, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a family heirloom(传家宝)brings together status and investment. My mother has a gold bracelet(手镯)that was given to her by her grandmother who, in turn, inherited it from her own grandmother. It's quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money. But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars. It's a beautiful object that holds many family memories. When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me, and one day, I'll pass it on to the younger generation.
Therefore, status ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and investment are good reasons to value gold. However, I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects. Think about Tutankhamen's death mask. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful
People love gold b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecause it holds their minds, their imaginations and, above all, their hearts.
