阅读理解。     Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important periods in your
life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some
aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can
touch the hearts of your staff and students.
     Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The
power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the
human heart and soul.
     As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性)
from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,
"With this key mankind unlocked his heart."
     School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their
staff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as metaphors, repetitions and
imagery can be used o take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create
meaning and a culture of care and attention.
     Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to
inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry-or even of some techniques of poetry-in
school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for
inspiration.1. The underlined part "this common need" in the second paragraph refers to ____. A. the need to read poetry
B. the need to be inspired
C. the need to learn about the past
D. the need to be connected with other people2. The use of poetry or techniques of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of _____. A. the power of language
B. the power of school leaders
C. people"s preference for poetry
D. people"s desire for communication3. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the readers that poetry is really powerful.
B. To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life.
C. To talk about the art of being a school leader.
D. To encourage using the transformational power of poetry in school leadership.

阅读理解。     Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever
heard about tea . People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like , mainly because
tea was very expensive . It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have
it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity . Some of them were not sure how
to use it . They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves . Then they served them mixed
with butter and salt . They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea
leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches .
     Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began
to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century . During the next few years so much tea came
into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it .
     At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea . Until then tea
had been drunk without milk in it , but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne
decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added . She found it so pleasant that she would never
again drink it without milk . Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy
everything she did ,they also drank their tea with milk in it . Slowly this habit spread until it reached
England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk .
     At first , tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening . No one ever thought of drinking tea in the
afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o"clock
stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it . She invited her friends to have this new meal with
her and so , tea-time was born .1. This passage mainly discusses            .A. the history of tea drinking in Britain

D. Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copy
     the way she drank tea 4. We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the

阅读理解。     If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit
another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another.
What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
     Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find
it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school
in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most
Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
     However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and
talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people"s houses,
since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you
will probably have the same desire(strong wish) when you visit the United States. So do not be
surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the
bathroom and kitchen. 1. The first paragraph suggests that ___.    A. customs are different from country to country

阅读理解。      Every year, World Blood Day is celebrated by blood services worldwide on 14 June, the birthday
of Nobel Prize winner Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered the ABO blood group system. If you
have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. And you should never worry about
the donation.
     Just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. This amount is no more than 13
percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body.
     It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used
to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste. Red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy
blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. White blood cells and antibodies (抗体) are used to
help people fight infections if their immune system doesn"t appear to be responding to antibiotics (抗生
素). Plasma (血浆), the straw-coloured fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are
used to treat burned patients.
     First-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. If
you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday.
     Although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher
risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. Pregnant women
or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood.
     Blood has a very short shelf life. Some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance
red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. Remember, you should wait at
least 16 weeks before donating blood again.1. People should never worry about the donation mainly because _____.A. it causes no pain to their body
B. being a blood donor is a great honor
C. their bodies can produce new blood soon
D. people have a mature research on it 2. What component of blood is used to treat burned patients?A. Plasma
B. Red blood cell
C. Antibody
D. White blood cell3. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. whole blood is most widely used in hospital
B. platelets can be kept for more than 10 days
C. people can donate their blood four times a years
D. people can donate at most 470 ml of blood each time 4. Who can donate their blood?A. A teenager who is studying in a primary school
B. A mother who is about to give birth to a new baby
C. An adult who smokes and drinks from time to time
D. A man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria 5. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To teach people how to be a blood donor
B. To give people the knowledge of blood donation
C. To advise people to benefit from blood donation
D. To remind people of the importance of blood donation

阅读理解。   Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States
and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for
their blessing.
    Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is
celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first
thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest.
On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near
what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked
God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
   The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich
harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth,
Massachusetts,in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first
winter was cruel.  Many of the Pilgrims died.  But the next year,
they had a good harvest. So Govemor Bradford declared a
three-day feast. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them
for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
         In time, other colonies (殖民地)  began to celebrate a day of
Thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national
Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale
persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He
proclaimed (宣布) the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day
of Thanksgiving.  Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest
festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate
Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American
neighbors. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second
Monday in October.1. The passage mainly tells us _____  .    A. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated
B. how to celebrate Thanksgiving Day
C. that Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places

B. in Great Britain
C.in Canada
D. on some island off the Atlantic5. Which of the following is NOT true?

A.There"s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate
Thanksgiving Day.
