阅读理解     When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and
looking at their watches. It isn"t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven"t got a television.
People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening?", they are always asking. The
answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at
the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages.
This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I"m always busy
with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.
     Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we
just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost—no
television! —So they don"t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full—they all come to
us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and
plays games. 1. The couple have not got a television, because     . A. they are not rich enough
B. they are strange people
C. they enjoy spending evenings in their own ways

     Friendship and friends continue to be the centre of our life. The relationship that we share with our
friends is grounded in mutual (相互的) care as our friends help us in shaping our personalities as well.
Even in this age of online social networking and e-cards, the need of keeping the network of friends,
whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people. We may not completely understand
what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us.
     The first step to make friends with someone is to make them like you. If they don"t like you in the first
place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are
specially interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling them by their names can lay the
basic foundation. To make the other person feel important to you, you need to be a good listener and
encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not directly criticize or
make fun of him or her.
     The second step of making someone your friend is to develop a mutual understanding. You need to
share his or her experiences and  it is necessary for you to develop a habit to see things from the other
person"s point of view.
     The third or final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement
towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend.
If what you expect from the person you want to make friends with matches with what that person can
give, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be successful.1. The underlined word "shaping" (in Paragraph 1) means "________".A. forming

阅读理解     The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the
apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to
fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens.
     Meanwhile, Fitzgerald"s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later
Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his
wealth would be settled-to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖).
     Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers
gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid(出
价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald"s son by
an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
     When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled(敲槌)the crowd to attention. First the
lawyer read from Fitzgerald"s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
     The poor-quality painting didn"t receive any bidders. . . except one-the old servant who had served
the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
     As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped
the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer
read from the will: "Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection. "Then the auction was
over. 1. The English Baron Fitzgerald was __________.A. a museum director

阅读理解     Have you ever heard your own voice? "Of course," you say.
     Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, "Of course."
     But that"s not quite true.  Nobody else has ever heard your voice-the way you hear it.  When you
talk,  you set up sound waves.  The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears.
  But,  of course,  the sound of your voice begins inside your head.  The bones of your head pick up
the sound waves,  too.  They carry the sound waves straight to your inner ears.  You get the sound
from the outside and the inside too.  Other people get just the sound waves from the outside.  That is
why they don"t hear your voice the way you do.  1.You ________ hear your voice the same way others hear it.  A. can"t

阅读理解。 Typhoons usually come to Taiwan in summer. They bring lots of rain. It gives us water to
use. But typhoons also bring us floods if it rains too much. After the floods, there may be
diseases such as dysentery or dengue fever. Typhoons also come with a lot of wind. The
wind damages houses, trees, crops and hurts people. So staying at home, preparing food
and water, and watching the news on TV are the safest things to do.

alive by a 25-helicopter search mission(任务). Survivors had not eaten for days and helicopters
dropped foods and drinks and began a slow evacuation(撤离), blocked by heavy rain. The
army says it does not know how many people may have died there. The government faced
criticism for not having arranged an evacuation as soon as it heard the typhoon was coming.
"We should brace ourselves(振作起来) against typhoons as if they are an invading enemy,"
said Chu Wen-sen, one of Taiwan"s leading water-management experts.1. Which of the following statements is true?______.A. Typhoons usually do nothing good to Taiwan.
