Two years ago I graduated from university and went back to work as a bank clerk in my hometown. I lived with my parents in a flat in which I have lived for 24 years so far.

Now let me tell you something about it.

We do not have a garden, but there is a small balcony outside the living room, a place for us to plant flowers and hang up our wet clothes. There are some plants on the balcony.

Passage C
In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school –--- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take the money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.
??? Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to.

Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
?? Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935.

Passage D
Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的)score meant a mediocre school. Much was at stake. However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课)before.
Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish him for befriending（以朋友方式对待） those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of the story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter's father had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.
Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is currently a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about it all the time.

Passage E
Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their routes（路线）：the number 49 and the number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road. It is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day ?

Passage G
Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.
Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.
Seeing in stereo (立体) means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3D. Seeing depth helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from a single eye, however, only height and width can be?perceived.?So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2D image, as in a photograph.
Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.
With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.
1. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to.
A. tell us how our two eyes works B. show the importance of eyes
C. compare our eyes with cameras D. suggest using two eyes properly
2. The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3 means.
A. set B. taken C. seen D. made
3. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Your right and left eyes gain the same image when looking at the same object.
B. 2D images can always show depth, height and width.
C. Animals that are hunted usually see the world through stereoscopic sight.
D. Fish with eyes on the sides of their heads have nearly 360-degree field of sight.
4. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that “seeing in stereo” ________.
A. is similar to the way a camera works
B. is an ability humans are lucky to have
C. would be better for a wilder field of sight
D. helps people to have better sight than animals
5. What is probably the best title for this passage?
A. Seeing in stereo B. Protecting your eyes
C. Treasuring your eyes D. Seeing with eyes

Passage H（判断正误）
China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day(Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.
The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs.
On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of the family—mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
根据上述内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的为“T”，错误的为“F”。
1. The Longtaitou is on the third day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
2. We Chinese call ourselves the “descendants of the dragon”.
3. People put ashes in the kitchen on the Dragon Head Raising Day in ancient times.
4. Nowadays, many people don't have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
5. The passage mainly tells us how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in China.
