阅读理解。     Well before the 15th century, an Anglo-Saxon custom required that a prospective bridegroom break
some highly valued personal belonging. Half of the broken token was held by the father of the bride and
the other half by the groom. A wealthy man was expected to split a piece of gold or silver.
     The earliest engagement rings were also used as wedding rings, serving to seal an act of sale which
transformed ownership of a daughter from father to husband. Such rings were usually of solid gold to
prove the groom"s worth.
     For Roman Catholics, the engagement ring became a required statement of Nuptial intent (结婚意向),
as decreed by Pope Nicholas I in 860 A. D. The engagement ring was to be of valued metal, preferably
gold, which for the husband-to-be represented a financial sacrifice.
     Signifying enduring love, and chosen for its durability, the diamond was chosen for the engagement
ring. The diamond"s fire is also associated with "love"s clear flame," given by Medieval Italians because of
their belief that the diamond was created from the flames of love.
     The Venetians were the first to discover that the diamond is one of the hardest, most enduring
substances in nature, and fine cutting and polishing releases the brilliance. Rarity and cost limited their
rapid proliferation (急增) throughout Europe but their intrinsic (内在的) appeal guaranteed them a future.
By the 17th century, the diamond ring had become the most sought after statement of European engagement. 1. Who kept the two halves of the engagement rings before marriage? A. The bride"s father and the bridegroom"s mother.
B. The bride"s mother and the bridegroom.
C. The bride and the bridegroom.
D. The bridegroom and the bride"s father,2. What"s TRUE about the early Anglo-Saxon custom before the 15th century?A. A will-be bridegroom should beat all his valuable belongings.
B. Every will-be bride should split a piece of gold.
C. The engagement rings were also used to prove the groom"s worth.
D. A rich bride should break one of her most valuable personal belongs. 3. Pope Nicholas made the engagement ring a required statement of nuptial intent ______. A. in the 15th century
B. over 1,000 years ago
C. in the 1860s
D. by the 17th century 4. What kind of engagement ring has been the most popular one in Europe?

A. Rings made of gold
B. Rings made of silver
C. Rings made of diamond
D. Rings made of an unknown substance in nature.

阅读理解。     Everyone should visit a lighthouse at least once.
     The most important reasons for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors (祖先) battled nature with
the basic tools they had. They had only basic ways of creating light, and yet they found a way of using
this simple technology in isolated (孤零零的) places to save ships from hitting rocks.
     Secondly, visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers. By their very
nature, lighthouses were built on some rocks of cliffs. Thus, the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives.
To walk around their small home, and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls, is to take
a step towards understanding the lives they had.
     The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time. It is true that lighthouses
were built in out-of-the-way places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day, this very isolation has a natural
beauty that many people will love to experience. Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the
lighthouse, the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.
     Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings.
Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need, even in such an isolated
place, to build with an artistic touch. The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy.
     Finally, lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated keeper
climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives. 1. What is the reason to look back into the past of a lighthouse? A. To escape from the busy and noisy city.
B. To look for the tools used by our ancestors.
C. To experience the natural beauty of a lighthouse.
D. To learn about the living condition of lighthouse keepers. 2. The underlined phrase "out-of-the-way" in Paragraph 4 means _______. A. far-away
B. dangerous
C. ancient
D. secret 3. Lighthouses were often built with an artistic touch _______. A. to attract visitors
B. to guide passing ships
C. to give a pleasant sight
D. to remember lighthouse keepers 4. How many reasons are mentioned for a visit to lighthouse? A. Three
B. Four
C. Five
D. Six

阅读表达。阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。      [1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work,
study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated
from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from
texting too much?
     [2] If _____, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who
is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which
takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if
messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from
emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely
to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
     [3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.
Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone
behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and
family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships
by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure
of true communication. 1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? (no more than 5 words)
