A
I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all， and what’s more，I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed， rode on it for several stops， then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough,then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time，I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived， and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully， nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would have sweets and ice-cream rather than eat meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals, it may take away our appetite （食欲）. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worried has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because of his worriment, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
5. Why do we have to form good eating habits?
Because we want to eat more. B. Because we enjoy our meal.
C.Because we want to save time. D.Because we want to keep fit.
6． When do you think it is good to eat sweets and ice-cream according to the passage?
When we are happy. B.When we have a good appetite.
C. After a meal. D.Before a meal.
7. When does the writer think it would be better to have our meal?
When our work is over B. At the fixed time every day.
C. When we feel happy. D.When every family member is at home.
8.What could a man do if he told a lie according to some judges in old England?
He could eat a lot of food. B.He could hardly need any food.
C. He could swallow some dry bread easily .D.He could not swallow any dry bread.

Kites have been around for a long time. The Chinese invented kites over 2000 years ago. A determined man named Mo Zi had an idea as he watched hawks(鹰) fly. He spent three years making a wooden hawk “kite”. It broke after one flight! Mo Zi and his Chinese friends did not give up. Soon they perfected the art of creating kites.
Kites became part of many Chinese festivals. Pictures of kites were also on vases and in paintings. But kites were meant to fly in places other than China! Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century and brought kites back to Europe with him. Europeans loved them, and the art of kiting took off!
Many kites have stories behind them. One Chinese novel, called Journey to the West, was written around 1400 AD. In the story, a priest(僧侣) traveled with three students. One student was a monkey. The second student was a man with pig ears. The third student was a former river monster. These characters often appear on Chinese kites. Another splendid(壮观的) Chinese kite is the dragon kite. A dragon kite is made of many round discs strung together. Often the dragon is bright red, with fat horns and white teeth. The dragon is the king of beasts in Chinese myths. It represents goodness, even though it looks scary. Two kinds of kites have pictures of birds on them. One kite is called the phoenix(凤凰) bird kite. The phoenix bird symbolizes peace. Another kite shows the redheaded crane(鹤).The crane represents happiness, good fortune, and a long life.
Kites come in all shapes and sizes. Flat or bowed kites have a simple shape, such as a diamond or a rectangle(长方形). Delta(三角形) kites are triangular. Rokkaku kites are six-sided and often bear a striking image. Sometimes these kites 揻ight each other until one kite drops from the sky. The other kite then wins the 揵attle.
9.Who introduced Chinese kites to Europe?
A. A foreigner from Europe. B. Three students in Journey to the West.
C. The priest in Journey to the West. D. A Chinese artist.
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The novel Journey to the West mainly talks about the art of kiting.
B. The characters in the novel Journey to the West are often painted on kites.
C. The dragon kite represents happiness, good fortune and a long life.
D. A phoenix bird is a main character in the novel Journey to the West.
11.Which statement expresses an opinion rather than a fact?
A. Kites became part of many Chinese festivals.
B. There are many different kinds of kites.
C. The dragon kite is the most splendid Chinese kite.
D.Kites were invented 2000 years ago.
D
People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
　　I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.
揝he was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa抯 career, he said, with a voice now trembling. 揟hat was Nana抯 way.
Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, 揘ana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana抯 way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”
　　There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.
12. According to the first paragraph, ______.
A. young people are living a hard life
B. people don抰 think highly of the teenagers
C. people shouldn抰 forget the young people
D. young people should keep quiet before the public
13. From the boy抯 speech, we know his grandmother ______.
A. was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa
B. liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her
C. could see everything around her though she was old
D. had great influence over the boy when she was alive
14. We can infer from the passage that the boy ______.
A. was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk
B. was always very good at expressing himself
C. practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech
D. had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana
15. The writer wanted to tell the readers ______.
A. the young people were too weak to face certain facts
B. the young people have learned to control themselves
C. the adults could learn something valuable from the young
D. the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. 16 However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife，Evelyn，who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
17 However, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes. This smoke is called secondhand smoke.
Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53，000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker’s health. 18 They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic (有毒的) chemicals in their bodies. 19 For example，we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants，hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas，smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted. It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. In the United States，nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.
Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as the children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke.
20 As a result，they have passed laws which prohibit(禁止) people from smoking in many public places.
A. Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.
B. As a matter of fact, almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not.
C. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer.
D. However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young.
E. People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke.
F. No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer.
G. Many people, including doctors, parents, teachers, and others, are concerned about the health risks of cigarette smoking.

Dear editor,
Now more and more students are getting fond of western fast food, and thus they take in too much sugar and fat. I don’t think it good for their health.
There are all kinds of foods in the world. Which one is healthier, the Chinese food or the western fast food? Different people have different choices.
In my opinion, the Chinese food is healthier. Firstly, the Chinese food contains a lot of fruit and green vegetables. It is rich in fiber and low in sugar and fat. Secondly, the Chinese food is very delicious and has many dishes. It is nice to taste. I think it is the healthiest in the world. So many Chinese people can keep fit and have white teeth.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
