题型:不详难度:来源:
Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance or it can be just to impress people around you by the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but who usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to home.
From my point of view, literature is very important in our life. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to make compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this domain, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.
Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream of being in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.
In conclusion, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express ourselves correctly, to have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere in conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.
小题1:People who are fond of literature are those that ________ .
A.have much interest in reading
B.keep many books
C.go to libraries every day

A.we can bring kings and queens back to life
B.it is very good for us to stay alone for some hours
C.what we read can be useful in our daily life
D.we can make friends with people in the stories
小题4:The underline word “erudite” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ _______”.
A.learnedB.enthusiasticC.smartD.creative

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I ’m left      . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other          
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,     children from different races and religions played and studied       in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone s     from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and Iwas an Indian Hindu——we just       our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice,well        or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we"d          the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to         the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his     .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I          touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I         my destination. The driver acknowledged my         but did not move off. Instead, he looked       at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so      addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two     we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something      to describe.
If we can allow our children to be       without prejudice, they"ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be     their side through" thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and     we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, 44we happy few, we band of brothers".

We are just getting older and older with each New Year. Vigor and wisdom are draining, and bit by bit we are moving away from the amazement of youth.
Yet neither fear nor anxiety helps retain youth. Instead, a few living habits help maintain.
●Laugh to your heart"s content as much as you can. Laughter helps reduce pressure and improve your immune system, which makes people look 8 years younger.
●Keep an eye on your blood pressure. Those with a blood pressure of 115/75mmHg look 2.5years younger than those above 160/90mmHg.
●Quit smoking and avoid passive smoking. This can take 8 years off your appearance.
●Spare some time for exercises each day. Exercises need not be tiring. A 20 minute walk every day makes people look 5 years younger.
●Keep learning and absorb something new each day. Speak the same language as the young people. Learning something every day makes people look 2.5 years younger.
●Keep other pressures under control. Too much pressure makes people look 30 years older. If they are good at networking and manage to keep pressure under control, they will look 30 years younger.
●Secure high quality medical care insurance and do whole body check regularly. For those contracted with chronicle diseases, proper treatment and qualification of the diseases makes people look 12 years younger than what they would without proper treatment.

When you’re returning to Australia, be careful that you don’t bring in pests and diseases. Some items you might bring back from overseas can be pests and diseases that Australia doesn’t have. When you return, declare(申报)all food, meat, fruits, plants, seeds, wooden souvenirs, animal or plant materials.
Australia has strict quarantine(检疫)laws and tough on-the-spot fines. Every piece of luggage is now screened or X-rayed. If you fail to declare any quarantine items, or if you make a false declaration, you will get caught. In addition to on-the-spot fines, you could be accused and fined more than $60, 000 and you may risk 10 years in prison. All international mail is also screened.
Some products may require treatment to make them safe. Items that are restricted because of the risk of pests and diseases will be seized and destroyed by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service(AQIS).
In many cases, the goods you declare will be returned to you after inspection. However, any item that presents a quarantine risk will be withheld(扣留). You will be given a range of options for each item depending on the quarantine risk:
Treating the item to make it safe;
Holding the item until an import permit is presented*; ·
Re-exporting the item;
Destroying the item.
Those treatments with the sign “*” are subject to fees.
Further information:
For more detailed information about bringing in food, animals, plants, animal or plant materials, call the AQIS at 1800-020-504.

Everybody is afraid of something.That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff.We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most.Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查):① Scary movies and TV shows;②Scary dreams;③Thunderstorms,hurricanes(飓风);and other horrible weather;④War and terrorism (恐怖行动);⑤Sounds heard at night.
But not everyone is afraid of the same thing.And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else.Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear?
Fear is a feeling that eyeryone has—it’s programmed into all of us—and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us.We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous.The baby cries,and their mom comes over to comfort him or her,helping the baby feel safe and OK again.Real vs.Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it.As kids get older,they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal.So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches,he can tell himself,“Wait a minute.They’re only pretend things.I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark.A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out.What’s under my bed?Is that a thief I hear?With the help of a parent,kids can get more comfortable in the dark.Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
小题1:What did the writer find out from the survey?
A.Some people have never experienced fear.
B.Kids don’t like watching scary movies.
C.All people are afraid of something.
D.People often cry loudly when they are scared.
小题2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The list of fears is not complete.
B.The things people fear are of no big deal.
C.Kids have more fears than people think.
D.People are afraid of different things.
小题3:In the writer’s opinion,________.
A.having a sense of fear is not a bad thing
B.babies have a weak sense of fear
C.fear is not something that we are born with
D.not all people can react to dangerous things
