1、 Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp. On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales. He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep. “It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” exclaimed my uncle, with a loud laugh. When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed. That night we all slept on the floor to the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!

A.the roof of the cottage was falling

3.When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ______.
A.it was completely dark inside
B.dust was blown into their eyes
C.something strange blinded them
D.there was too much dust in the air
4.The narrator felt glad that he had stayed up late because ______.
A.he did not miss the exciting stories
B.he spent more time with his uncle

2、You might ask, what is Chinglish, anyway? It depends on whom you ask. Chinese parents raising their children in English-speaking countries will probably answer: Chinglish is a useful mix of standard Chinese or Cantonese terms with day-to-day English. It is indeed convenient to shorten a sentence such as “I don’t want to go now because it is too hot and it will be hard to find a parking lot anyway” into “Don’t go la, hot la, tai mafan la.” For the Chinese high-school teacher, Chinglish is the students’ unsuccessful attempts to understand English in a Chinese way, resulting in sentences such as “Please hurry to walk or we’ll be late” or “She is very miserable and her heart broke.” However, the English-speaking traveler more frequently comes across Chinglish in the form of public signs. No matter how one looks at the phenomenon, one thing is clear: Chinglish is not a language. Chinglish might be found, according to some scholars, in Chinese Pidgin (混杂语) English, which came to life in the eighteenth century when the British set up their first trading posts in Guangzhou. The term came from the word “business” and served, according to the great Yale China scholar Jonathan Spencer, “to keep the differing communities in touch, by mixing words from Portuguese, Indian, English, and various Chinese dialects, and spelling them according to Chinese grammar.” Some believe that expressions like “Long time no see” or “No can do” appeared during that time. Others refer to the late Qing-Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi, who forced Chinese villagers to live and work in the West in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Another possibility is the so-called Yangjingbang , a mix of English and Chinese in the time of Lu Xun, China’s greatest twentieth-century writer. Very influential, too, are the large numbers of people from China to the United States, who came from the Gold Rush time to the last twenty-five years since the beginning of China’s policy of Reform and Opening. No matter which theory one prefers, two things are certain: first, Chinglish exists because people move, and second, as a language phenomenon (现象), it is almost new. Although most Chinglish expressions are widely regarded as mistakes, occasionally some are found enjoyable. Such errors will not die, as they keep coming all the more in our time, largely thanks to the Internet.
1.According to the passage, Chinglish is regarded as useful by ______.
A.some western scholars
B.English-speaking travelers
C.Chinese high-school teachers
D.Chinese parents in English-speaking countries
2. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.
A.why Chinglish became popular
B.how Chinglish came into being
C.who invented the term “Chinglish”
D.where Chinglish was most popular
3.According to Jonathan Spencer, Pidgin English serves to ______.
A.force Chinese villagers to learn English
B.overcome language difficulties in business
C.help peoples communicate with each other
D.enlarge the vocabulary of the Chinese language
4. According to the passage, Yangjingbang (Line 11, Paragraph 2) is ______.
A.a kind of Chinglish
B.an influential language
C.a mix of any two languages
D.a language in Lu Xun’s time
5.The author’s attitude towards Chinglish can be described as ______.
A.critical
B.objective

D.supportive

3、What Is a Boy?
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a“ boy ” . Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boy are found everywhere – on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face. BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocalate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion ( 消化力 ) of stones and sand,the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs ( 拇指 ) on each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a
three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “ Hi, Dad! ”

4、Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, summed up the four chief qualities of money 2,000 years ago. It must be lasting and easy to recognize, to divide, and to carry about. When we think of money today, we picture it either as round, flat pieces of metal which we call coins, or as printed paper notes. But there are still parts of the world today where coins and notes are of no use .A traveler there might starve if he had none of the particular ‘ local money ’.
Among isolated peoples ,who are not often reached by traders from outside ,commerce usually means barter ,which is a direct exchange of goods .Perhaps it is fish for vegetables or meat for baskets .For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed ,but there is often something that everyone wants ,such as salt to flavor food, shells for necklaces ,or iron and copper to make into tools. These things — salt ,shells or metals — are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today.
Salt may seem rather a strange material to use as money ,but in countries where the food of
the people is mainly vegetables ,it is often an absolute necessity .Cakes of salt ,stamped to show
their value ,were used as money in Tibet until recent times, and they can still buy goods in parts of Africa.
Cowrie seashells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World. These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in the Indian
Ocean ,and were traded to India and China. In Africa ,cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West .Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar ,an Australian silver coin which was once accepted as currency （货币） in many parts of Africa.
Metal was used as money in many parts of the world .Iron ,in lumps ,bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money .It can either be exchanged for goods ,or made into tools or weapons. The early money of China ,apart from shells ,was of bronze ,often in flat ,round pieces with a hole in the middle ,called ‘ cash ’.The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old — older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean.
Nowadays ,coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms of money ,and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still store it for future use ,primitive money will soon be found only in museums.
1． Nowadays we think of money as() .
A．pieces of metal or metallic paper
B．made of either metal or paper
C．some printed notes and papers
D．round and flat sheets of paper
2． In some parts of the world a traveler might go hungry() .
A． even if his money was of the local kind
B．even if he had no coins or notes
C．if he did not know the local rate of exchange
D． even if he had plenty of ready money
3． What can we infer from the passage?
A． Isolated peoples exchange goods by means of barter.
B．Salt cakes are taking the place of picturesque forms.
C．Seashells could be traded with Maria Theresa dollars.
D． The Chinese were among the earliest users of metal ‘ cash ’.
4． Primitive types of money will be used ().
A． to replace more picturesque forms
B．as exhibits to be shown in public
C．at local country markets and shops
D．as entrance tickets in museums
答案：B|D|D|B

5、The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives. The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker(面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the eginning. By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them. Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat. The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the paths of the fire. With nothing left to burn , the fire became weak and finally died out. After the fire, Christopher Wren ,the architect , wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, and the new St Paul’s is among them. The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place : a city for the future and not just of the past.
1.The fire began in ____.
A.a hotel
B.the palace
C.Pudding Lane
D.Thames Street
2.The underlined word “family” in the second paragraph means _____.
A.home
B.children
C.wife and husband
D.wife and children

A.some people lost their lives
B.the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
C.many famous buildings were destroyed
D.the King’s bakery was burned down
4.Why did the writer cite (引用)Samuel Pepys ?
A.Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
B.Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C.To show that poor people suffered most.
D.To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
5.How was the fire put out according to the text?

6、Many people who work in London prefer to live outside of it and to go into their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings. One can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward( 回报,奖赏) of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional (偶尔的) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.
B.People who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C.Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.
D.Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.
2.One can use the same money for _____ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.
A.getting a small flat with a garden
B.having a small flat with a garden
C.renting a small flat without a garden
D.buying a small flat without a garden
3.When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those ____ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
A.who live in the country
B.who have spent time working in the garden
C.who have a garden of their own
D.who have been digging, planting and watering
4.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that ____ if they had to live it outside London.
A.their life was meaningless
B.their life was invaluable
C.they didn’tdeserve a happy life
D.they were not worthy of their happy life

B.the rest people
C.the rest of the country
D.the rest of the parks and of the sea

9、All of us can change our behaviour to fit different situations.We are often noisy at weddings and sympathetic at funerals.Our table manners are not the same at a picnic as in a restaurant.When speaking with people,we feel free to interrupt close friends but tend to listen to our employers until they finish.If we don’t make such adjustments(调整),we are likely to get into trouble. From one point of view,language is behaviour;it is part of the way we act.And like every other kind of behaviour,it must be adjusted to fit different contexts or situations where it is use
For instance,among people who are used to a writing system,there is one adjustment everyone makes:they speak one way and write another way.Speakers can stop in the middle of a conversation and repeat themselves if they sense that they are being misunderstood;writers often go back over their writing to see that it is clear,which is,however,before the communication occur.Once writers have passed their writing to someone else,they cannot change it. Speakers can use intonation(语调)，stress(重音)，and pauses to help make their meaning clear.A simple sentence like “John kept my pencil” may mean,by a shift in the stress and intonation patterns,either John rather than someone else kept the pencil,or John kept rather than just borrowed the pencil,or it was a pencil rather than anything else that he kept.Writers,on the other hand,have their special tools of various punctuation(标点) marks,capitals,italic(斜体) letters,and so on.Skillful writers could also change the word order of a sentence.So“Cindy only had five dollars” could be turned into “Cindy had only five dollars” to mean Cindy had no more than five dollars,or into “Only Cindy had five dollars” to mean nobody but Cindy had five dollars. 1.The main purpose of the first paragraph in this passage is to _______.
A.summarize the passage
B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.use examples to illustrate the first sentence of the paragraph
D.use examples to illustrate the last sentence of the paragraph
2.According to Paragraph 1,we must adjust our behavior because _______.
A.we should appear happy at weddings and sad at funerals
B.we should listen to our employers more than to our friends
C.our manners should be different in different places
D.our behavior should be acceptable to others around
3.Language as mentioned in Paragraph 2 is considered _______.
A.a kind of behavior
B.an act found in all situations
C.an adjustment everyone makes
D.situations
4.both spoken and written 4.According to Paragraph 2,speakers and writers differ mainly in _______.
A.the amount of time they spend on the communication
B.the number of times they stop while communicating
C.how they can make sure that they are not misunderstood
D.when they decide to begin the communication
5.According to Paragraph 3,speakers can use such tools as _______ to make their meaning clear.

B.stress patterns and word order
C.pauses and punctuation marks
D.pauses and shifts in stress patterns

10、The orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle （步枪） and some Burmans（缅甸人） .

He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below ,only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me .They had seen the rifle and were all shouting that I was going to shoot the elephant

.It was fun to them ,as it would be to an English crowd ;besides ,they wanted the meat .It made me a little uneasy .I had no intention of shooting the elephant —had I merely sent for the rifle to

defend myself — and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill

,looking and feeling a fool ,with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people

knocking and pushing at my heels .Beyond the huts there was a rice field a thousand yards across

,muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road .He took not the

slightest notice of the crowd .He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees

to clean them and feeding them into his mouth.

As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It

is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant —it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly

piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I think now that his attack of “ must ”was already passing off; in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him.

But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd, two thousand at the least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes —faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the hollowness （空洞） , the uselessness of the white man’ s control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowd —seemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet （傀儡） . I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys.

1． The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because _________.

A． it had damaged their homes and crops

B．it would provide them with meat

C．it would make them feel entertained

D．it was spoiling their rice fields

2． When the writer saw the elephant he felt _______.

A． foolish

B．afraid

C．pitiful

D．confident

3． The writer realized that he had to shoot the elephant because _________.

A． shooting elephants is a serious problem

B．everybody expected it of him

C．he did not wish to disappoint the rulers

D． he had to show how guns are fired

4． What does the writer intend to tells us when he tells the story?

A． Leading actors are sometimes foolish puppets.

B．Government for white people are useless.

C．Power can sometimes turn people imprisoned.

D． Unarmed crowds are in control of everything.
