Please read the information about three common problems in students’ learning English and five Chinese idiom stories.
For questions 1-3, mark the correct letter ( A-E) on your answer sheet. There are two idiom stories that you don’t need.
( )1.“Although” and “but” shouldn’t be put together. But some students often add “but” to the sentence with “although”.
( )2. Some students may be lucky to get the right answers. But if they depend only on luck, failure may come.
( )3. Some students seem to be able to read a new English article in groups. But if they are required to do it alone, they can’t.
A. The old emperor liked group music. A man knew this and joined the musical team. But the new emperor enjoyed the music played by every single musician. The man without any music ability was afraid and ran away.
B. Several men were drawing snakes on the floor. One man was the first to finish a snake but he didn’t win because he added feet to his snake.
C. A hard-working young man was so poor that he had to make a small hole in the wall to get light from next door at night. He read a lot of books and became an important officer for the emperor.

You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money
The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products(物品). One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers(消费者)usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.
There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position(位置) of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.
Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.
So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.
( )4.Many supermarkets put red stickers on products to ________.
A. make them look more beautiful B. make them different from cheaper ones
C. make people think the stickers are for men D. make people think they could save money
( )5.According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ________.
A. on higher shelves B. on each shelf C. on lower shelves D. on the back shelves
( )6.What is the passage mainly about ________
A. several rules that every business should follow B. several ways supermarkets use to sell more products
C. some advertisements that make people buy more D. some advice when people go shopping in supermarkets
( )7.Perhaps the writer agrees that ________.
A. People like soft and slow music in supermarkets
B. Things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops
C. People should just buy things they need in supermarkets
D. People should leave the supermarket with a trolley full of things

Every human being has about 25, 000 genes(基因).Your genes are part of your DNA. They give your body instructions on how to develop. For example, if your genes tell your body to build long, thin fingers, then you’ll have long, thin fingers.
Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on. Genes are still a bit of a mystery(神秘)to scientists, but they’re learning new things about them all the time.
Do the genes influence(影响)our personalities People have different ideas. These days, most people agree that the answer to the question is yes. Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose. What is a sense of purpose If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose.
Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question. How much do they influence us Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us So far, we still don’t really have an answer.
Genes also influence your health. If a gene has a problem, it’s called a mutated gene. Some mutated genes can cause diseases. That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her child is more likely to have that same problem.
As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they’re also developing a new kind of medicine: gene therapy. Gene therapy means fixing or replacing mutated genes. Scientists are still doing experiments(实验)on gene therapy. It’s possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes.
( )4. What can we learn from the passage
A. Genes can mostly decide how you look.
B. Every human being has the same genes.
C. Genes can never be changed after your birth.
D. Gene therapy will be the best way to cure diseases.

B. He is usually polite and gets on well with people around him.
C. He is quite serious and doesn’t talk much with other people.
D. He is usually hard-working and tries his best to achieve is goals.
( )6. Which of the following words can best describe gene therapy
A. Successful. B. Hopeless. C. Meaningful. D. Useless.
( )7. The writing purpose of the passage is________.

五、阅读短文回答问题
Have you ever tasted a kind of snack, which is also of the traditional Chinese of forms of art—sugar painting.
Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls(货摊)in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China.
The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a revolvable arrow(可旋转箭头)on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make.
Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup(糖浆)as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth slab(台面)as the “paper”. To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid(固体的)if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done.
The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However, some of them still insist on this art. They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Non-Material Culture Heritage.
