F. Scott Fitzgerald, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:　“My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary. “
This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned(1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age(1922), and a play The Vegetable(1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
1. How many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage
A. 5.　　　　B. 6.　　　　C. 7.　　　　D. 8.
2. Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage
a. He became addicted to drinking.
b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.
c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.
d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.
e. He failed to reorder his life.
f. He joined the army and met Zelda.
A. f-c-e-a-b-d　　　　B. b-e-a-f-c-d　　　　C. f-d-e-c-b-a　　　　D. b-f-c-d-e-a
3. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald　　　.　
A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama
B. was well educated and well off before he served in the army
C. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down
D. helped his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital
4. The passa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about　　　.

The most important thing in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. She is always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail(挂衣杆)to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a painful process for husbands, but obviously an enjoyable one for wives. 　5

The teacher who di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught me in second grade at all-black Sumner School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my child ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre—not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ook down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, all I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
1. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth
A. She lent he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r some serious classics. B. She cultivated her taste for music.
C. She disco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vered her talent for dancing. D. She introduced her to adult plays.

A. A book of great fun.　　　　　 B. A writer of high fame.

Sam Walton, the founde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r of Wal-Mart, was born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售业) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.
He soon opened his f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.
Walton's management st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yle was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.
After taking the comp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don't win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (认股权) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (实现) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.
By the 1980s, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Walton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.

It was the first snow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said, “These aren’t my boots, you know.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said, “They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!” Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves ”
I looked into her ey ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots.”
1. According to the passage, the little girl got　　　from her brother.　
A. the wool snow pants and the jacket B. the jacket and the boots
C. the jacket and the hat D. the boots and the gloves

Urbanization(都市化)
Until relativel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5, 500 years ago. 　1　. In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural(乡村的)villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginning. 　2　. The process of urbanization—the migration(迁移)of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990, fewer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 　3　.
Large cities were impo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 　4　. Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英)and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two cen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )turies, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 　5　. Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Moderniza ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

［1］If doctor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s want to test you for something，they’ll usually take a blood or urine(尿)sample．But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument．

Houses fall down ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking 　That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw (解冻).
About 85 perc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing
Some scientists say th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.
The collapsing ( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )倒塌)is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.
The Alaskan town ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.
“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,”Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”
“The melting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) could cause severe problems.”Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”
1. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing can be used as the best title of the passage
A. Alaska—A Frozen Land B. Is Alaska Sinking
C. Pollution and Global Warming D. Alaska Is Polluted
2. The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that ______.　
A. the temperature in Alaska is rising
B. people in Alaska don’t take care of permafrost
C. too many houses are built on permafrost
D. people in Alaska polluted permafrost
3. The followin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.　
A. holes form in the ground
B. a forest will be turned into a swamp
C. some animals have to go elsewhere
D. more water will be needed by people and animals
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. When permafrost melts, houses will fall down.
B. House-moving compa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nies are busy because their houses are in danger.
C. To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem.
D. Most of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost.

In Western culture, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 21 was the age at which young people traditionally received a key to their parents’ door, as a symbol of entering adulthood. Now, the age of 21 is a time when people ask themselves: where do I go from here
Jiang Fangzhou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s 21 years have been filled with the kind of success most young people wouldn’t dare hope for in a lifetime. She published her first book at the age of nine and has written many more since then. She is regarded as a spokesperson for her generation. However, her hopes and concerns for the future appear decidedly normal.
She explains that w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hile her fellow students are chiefly concerned with getting a job or buying an apartment, shefrets over how she can excel in her work when having limited experience of the world.
However, Jiang ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), now a senior at the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, notes that her peers face intense pressure and competition at school. They are expected to excel in their field of study despite limited experience, just as Jiang is expected to shine in the literary world.
Young people, s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he says, have been forced to open their eyes to the world around them. Jiang’s world has opened up, too. She’s more at ease with herself at 21, compared with when she began college.
“My horizon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has broadened and I’m more tolerant,” she says. “As a freshman, I was desperate. I stopped people around me and asked: ‘Is there anything in the world still worth hoping for ‘ But now I don’t do that.”
Jiang says that sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e may not pursue writing as her main future career because she wants to try“other lifestyles”—overseas travel and study touring sound particularly inviting to her. But she is concerned that many foreigners have skewed (歪曲的,倾斜的) perceptions about China.
“A few days ago I ove ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rheard a conversation between two foreigners sitting next to me on a flight,” says Jiang. “They were having a heated discussion about the number of beggars in China. And how Chinese always go for ‘petty profits’. In fact, they had been in China for only a week.”
Jiang believes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )prejudice is unavoidable, but she also maintains that Chinese and Westerners, for example, share much common ground.
“We share the same pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inciples, such as honesty and a willingness to help others,” says Jiang. “The differences between peoples are not that huge.”
1. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Jiang Fangzhou’s novels. B. Embracing new challenges.
C. Jiang Fangzhou’s university life. D. Jiang Fangzhou’s success.
2. What does the underlined phrase mean
A. be patient with　　　　　B. be worried about
C. be content with　　 D. be indifferent about
3. Which of the following sentences is true
A. Jiang doesn’t have any pressure and competition as the others do.
B. Jiang’s peers face intense pressure and competition at school.
C. Jiang wants to be a professional writer in future.
D. Jiang often asks her friends some questions now.
4. We can infer from the text that_____.　
A. there is nothing but prejudice between Chinese and Westerners
B. Jiang accepts ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the fact that there are huge differences between peoples
C. one week is enough to know about a true China.
D. Jiang disagrees with what the two foreigners said about Chinese

Inside the pleasi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat (SAME) in downtown Denver, the spirit of generosity (慷慨) is instantly noticeable: A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Cafe has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy, delicious lunches six days a week. Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
“It’s based on trust, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and it’s working all right, ” says co- owner Brad Birky, who started the cafe in 2006 with his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there.
“We wanted to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their circumstances, ” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.
The cafe now ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) averages 65 to 70 customers(and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007, one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys. “He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup, ” says Birky.
1. What can we lear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for
A. They refused to have volunteers.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Most young architect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s—particularly those in big cities—can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want,which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner,Brian Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside,it looks too old,even something horrible,but open the door and you are in a wide,open courtyard,lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的)walls.
In 2000,Yocum and Be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947,the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right,so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除),pulling rubbish out through the roof,because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work,but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do,and“to treasure what was there—the walls,the rust,the light. “ Yocum said. “Every season,more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation (装置)in there—a slow-motion show. “
Since the back build ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing had been constructed without windows,an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard,and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom,a kitchen and a mechanical room,and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.
Yocum and Bell,wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o have just completed an art gallery for the city,feel that the experience from the decoration of their building,focusing on the inside rather than the outside,has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.
1. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the passage,it is　　　for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.　
A. easy　　　B. unnecessary　　　C. unrealistic　　　D. common
2. Yocum bought the old building because　　　.　
A. it was a bargain to him B. it was still in good condition
C. it was locate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d in the city center D. it looked attractive from the outside

A. pulled rubbish out through the roof
B. removed the skylights from the bathroom
C. presented a slow-motion show in an art gallery
D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building

A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof

名师点评
本文介绍了发源于美国并流行于欧洲各国 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的电话购物法，说明了电话购物法的发展情况以及受大众欢迎的原因，同时也指出了这种购物法存在的问题，并提出了解决这些问题的途径。
(A)1. A. European B. Asian C. American D. African
【解析】A。上文讲到电话购物法在欧洲也开始起步，本句承接上文，对欧洲的情况作进一步介绍，因此，应选European。
(D)2. A. lights B. switches C. radios D. TVs
【解析】D。电话购物法,应通过看电视选择物品，然后电话订购, 故应选TVs。
(D)3. A. som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e else B. another many C. the other D. many other
【解析】D。else为副词不用 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )来修饰名词作定语。the other things意为“别的所有商品”不合文意，选项many other things意为“别的许多商品”为正确选项。
(B)4. A. Such as B. For example C. For teleshopping D. It is like
【解析】B。such as中的as为介 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )词，因此该词组用于列举时，后面常直接接名词或名词性短语。而for example用于列举时与后面例子常用逗号隔开。因此B为正确选项。
(D)5. A. takes B. cost C. spends D. spend
【解析】D。分析句子，不难发现本句使用了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“spend money in dong something”这一结构，且主语the French为第三人称复数，故应用spend的原形。
(B)6. A. to B. until C. unless D. by
【解析】B。该句子表示“在德 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )国，每天电话购物法仅在一个频道播放一个小时，这种情况一直持续到去年”，表示某状态一直持续到某个点时间，应用“until + 点时间”。
(C)7. A. begin B. leave C. open D. turn on
【解析】C。这里open表示“开放，开张，营业”，本句表示电影频道对电话购物实行了开放政策，可用来进行电话购物。
(C)8. A. people B. women C. businessmen D. officials
【解析】C。很明显，电话购物法为商人销售产品提供了一个极佳的渠道。因此本句表达了商人的愿望。
(B)9. A. to go out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. going out C. to buy things D. buying things
【解析】B。without为介词。后面应跟动词的-ing形式。根据文意，going out应为正确选项。
(B)10. A. still B. don’t C. even D. won’t
【解析】B。根据本句开头的But以及下文内容，这里提到的是对电话购物持反对态度的人。故选don’t。
(A)11. A. teleshopping B. TV C. radio D. telephone
【解析】A。一些人不喜欢电话购物法，称其为“垃圾”。故应选teleshopping。
(C)12. A. appearing B. coming out C. for sale D. to buy
【解析】C。人们担心的是电视上正在销售的产品的质量。A，B意思不对。for sale表示“待售”，为正确选项。
(B)13. A. in the sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )op B. on TV C. they bought D. by this way
【解析】B。电话购物法令人们担心的是电视上展销的商品的质量，而不是商店里的商品，也不是已经买到手的商品。故选on TV。
(B)14. A. the same w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith B. different from C. as big as D. larger than
【解析】B。根据上文，欧洲人的购物观念与美 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )国人有所不同。因此电话购物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定结构be different form意为“不同于……”为正确答案。
(B)15. A. the numbe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r B. the quality C. the places D. the buyers
【解析】B。根据上文，消费者关心的是质量。因此电话购物公司必须对质量倍加小心。故选择quality。

Many Americans are t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in the first grade and beyond, Japanese preschools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
Like in America, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re is diversity (多样性)in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated (一流的)schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing (智能化)in some Japanese kindergartens.
1. We learn from t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he first paragraph that many Americans believe______.　
A. Japanese pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents are more involved in preschool education than American parents
B. Japan’s economic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )success is a result of its scientific achievements
C. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction
D. Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs
2. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on______.　
A. preparing children academically
B. developing children’s artistic interests
C. developing children’s potential
D. shaping children’s character
3. Why do some Ja ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )panese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens
A. They can do better in their future studies.

I needed to buy a digi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tal camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those ” He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first ” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to “ I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it “ This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no, But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”
I looked across at the others:　shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with:　first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
But something in the h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uman soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. . . and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
Why do we thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nk that new options (选择) still offer us anything new Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the foot that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
1. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should　　　.　
A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C. get more information about different companies
D. trust him and stop asking questions
2. What does the write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r mean by“it would be worth half what I paid for it” (Paragraph 2)
A. He should get a 50% discount.
B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
C. The quality of the camera was not good.
D. The camera would soon fall in value.

B. didn’t trust the shop assistant
C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers
4. It can be infe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, 　　　.　
A. people waste too much money on cameras
B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

If you have a strong desire to buy her a gift for that Day, I’ve come up with some ideas that will work for you to show your mom how much you value that relationship.
[2] Spend time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with your mom. Most moms I know want to hear from their kids more than they do. You can even do this if you live far away from your mom.

Give her the sealed jar for Mother’s Day, and she can pull out a memory every day until they’re gone.

本文讲述了一个聪明的小 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )男孩的故事。他要求加入一位富人的旅行，在得到同意后 选择担子时，看似愚蠢地选择了最大、最重的担子。而这恰恰就是他的聪明之处，因为他所挑的面包在途中是被边走边吃的，到达目的地时已所剩无几。阅读这故选foolish。篇文章时要注意句子的整体理解，如第8、9、10这三题。
(B)1. A. eat B. buy C. change D. get
【解析】B。这位富人不仅带了东西去卖，而且带钱去“买”东西。解这道题时要注意将句中and前后的内容进行比较。
(A)2. A. decided B. liked C. hoped D. tried
【解析】A。根据他的想法，他“决定 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”要带十个仆人。这件事完全可以由他自己决定，所以没有必要“希望带……”或“努力带……”，故C、D不合题意。
(C)3. A. take B. bring C. carry D. borrow
【解析】C。carry在句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中意为“携带、运送”；take 意为“带走”；bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。

【解析】A。富人同意小男孩随行。
(D)8. A. Since B. If C. Because D. But

(C)9. A. family B. guests C. servants D. things
【解析】C。参照第8题。
(A)10. A. heavy B. light C. small D. difficult
【解析】A。参照第8题。
(B)11. A. eat B. choose C. pick up D. understand

(D)12. A. brave B. right C. clever D. foolish
【解析】D。主人看到这个小仆人选择了最重的担子，感到他很“愚蠢”，故选foolish。。
(B)13. A. sorry B. nothing C. angrily D. good-bye

[1] One of the tou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gh things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes. The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours. Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk.
[2] A popular solu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work
[3] Generally ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) speaking, it can be beneficial. Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity.
[4] But here ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are some things you need to know to do it correctly. To start with, every time you doze off (打瞌睡) during the day does not count as a “power nap”. The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease.
[5] But how lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g should a power nap be Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes. Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep. If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak.
[6] However, refres ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice. The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms. The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine.
[7] One more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep. A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work. An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight.

Eddie Mckay, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a once-forgotten pilot,is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )when Graham Broad,a professor at the University of Western Ontario,found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友)who had served during the First World War,but his name was unfamiliar to Broad,a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity,Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆)in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged,he finally gave up. On his way out,Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture,he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day,there he was,staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find,Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually,a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a WWI flyer,spent some time as a flying instructor in England,then returned to the front,where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke,the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet,in a letter home,McKay refused to take credit,saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war recor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now,thanks to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e efforts of Broad and his students,a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word‘deceased’ (阵亡)next to his name,” said Corey Everrett,a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us,but instead of finishing his time at Western,he chose to fight and die for his country.”

C. A book on McKay.　　　　 D. A picture of McKay.

Napoleon, as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a character inTolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having“fat little hands.” Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.” He is said to be“undersized, “ with “short legs” and a“round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts:　other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.
It is a way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry:　doesn’t he have more army He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war! “ he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.”
Still later, after ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s. . . face, “ Tolstoy writes, and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently. . .” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything ” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own. 　
1. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is　　　.　
A. far from the his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )torical facts B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his sele ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ction of facts D. not related to historical details
2. Napoleon was ang ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry when receiving the Russian representative because　　　.　
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
3. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do
A. To walk out of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )room in anger. B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar. D. To express his admiration.
4. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is　　　.　
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe
D. crazy for power and respect
5. What does the last sentence of the passage imply
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

In 1995, Susan Boyle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )went to Glasgow to audition(试演) for My Kind of People, a televised talent show popular in the UK. She was immediately rejected. She was nervous during the audition, and felt she didn’t perform well, but her brother said that she was rejected because of her plain looks. Boyle was not discouraged and continued to sing at church and at the karaoke nights in a local pub.
Boyle suffere ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d a personal loss in 1997, when her father passed away. After his death, Boyle put her big dreams on hold to care for her sick mother Bridget Boyle. The mother and daughter often talked of Susan’s possible fame. Bridget Boyle encouraged her daughter to take part in singing competitions. “She was the one who said I should enter Britain’s Got Talent. We used to watch it together.” susan later told reporters. “She thought I would win.”
In 1999, Boyle used al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l of her savings to pay for a professional demo (样本唱片) tape, which she sent to record companies. In 2002, Boyle began taking singing lessons from voice coach Fred O’Neil.
In 2007, Boyle’s mothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r passed away at the age of 91. A neighbor reported that when Bridget Boyle died, her daughter “wouldn’t come out for three or four days or answer the door or phone.” she lived alone with her cat, Pebbles. For over a year, she refused to sing. But in August of 2008, O’Neil urged her to try out for Britain’s Got Talent. Convinced that the performance would be an honor to her mother, Boyle auditioned in Glasgow, Scotland. She sang I Dreamed A Dream in the first round of the show, which was aired on 11 April 2009.
The 47-year-old Sco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ttish woman’s plain looks provided a sharp contrast (对比) to her powerfully beautiful voice. The performance astonished the audience and the judges. Online videos of her performance totaled over 40 million views within a week. Although she failed to win the final of Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle became globally popular. Her first album I Dreamed A Dream has sold over five million copies.

There were smilin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always trave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly enjoy the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
