It’s a mystery story (like all the others) and it was on the best-seller 12 two weeks after publication! I got my first lesson in story 13 from my grandmother. She used to read me stories.

It is the kite, and kite flying in Thailand 1 a strong feeling of interest that is nothing 2 of feverish. During the summer, in the months of March and April, the skies 3 cities, towns and villages throughout the Kingdom are 4 with kites of all descriptions --- long-tailed dragons, twisting snakes, beautiful butterflies, or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the warm air. One afternoon, a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to 5 him at the Pramane Ground. What’s the attraction? I asked as he flew a huge kite. Well, you can feel a bit of a 6 at first, he replied, a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and 7 up into the sky. But once you forget yourself, you get caught up in the 8 of controlling something in the air where you cannot follow. You’re on the ground, and the kites are in the air but its you that are making it all 9 Go on, go fly a kite. I took his advice in the 10 it was meant and, holding the hand of my young daughter so that others would think I was only satisfying a child’s 11 . I bought a rainbow-colored snake. After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air 12 greater ease than I expected. It was only my daughters crying, My go, my go that I realized I’d been holding the string, completely 13 what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime. Like many other 14 of popular culture, the sport of kite flying in Thailand has been 15 down from generation to generation. Its origins(起源) are 16 probably in ancient China, although it seems likely that Thai kites are as old as the 17 itself. It was a crazy thing 18 by everyone from the king down.

It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight. Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫)for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲)down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree. 1. The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in ______. A. their size B. their appearance C. the kind of food they eat D. the way they rest 2. Flying foxes tend to _____. A. double their number every year B. fight and kill a lot of themselves C. move from place to place constantly D. lose a lot of their young 3.

A. to occupy the best resting places B. only when it is dark C. to protect their homes from outsiders D. when there is not enough food 5. How do flying foxes care for their young? ______. A. They only care for their own babies B. They share the feeding of their young C. They help when a baby bat is in danger D. They often leave home and forget their young (二) It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote. Some people think this is the main reason women are so underrepresented in politics, trade unions and big businesses. Others feel it is simply that they are much too busy doing other things. The old saying “a woman’s place is in home” may seem out of date to most people, but the old, fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual——one only has to watch a few television ads. In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work. Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money, but generally women do not do the same job: they do different ones that offer lower salaries. The areas women work in are almost all those of “service” : teaching, nursing, catering and cleaning, jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role. Apart from looking after people during the day at work, women often have to take care of family at home too, which may mean they have less energy to complete in the race for professional development. In almost every field, top positions are more likely to be filled by men. While most teachers are women, for example, most headmasters are not. School cooks are women, head cooks are men and even cleaners tend to be watched over and directed by male caretakers. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?______. A. Many women’s places are still in the home B. Women’s places are no longer in the home C. Many women’s jobs have something to do with TV D. Women’s jobs are less important than before 2. Now women are ______. A. doing the same jobs as men B. in need of more new services C. not doing the same jobs as men D. paid more attention to than before 3. In Paragraph 2, the word “catering” may mean _____. A. preparing meals B. writing articles C. running a school D. watching TV programs 4. From the passage, we can see that _______. A. it’s better for a woman to stay at home B. women need much more education to deal with professional tasks C. there is still a long way for women to go to get equal opportunities D. women should be at the top position in their working places 5. The writer tells us that _____. A. women are kept busy all day long B. women usually learn things faster than men C. some women teachers cook better than their husbands D. some women have to do cleaning at night (三) Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is because they believe that children learn more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn language well. Is this idea a fact or a myth? Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,200 Danish children studying Swedish, concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested, that is, the ability to learn increased as the age increased, from childhood to adulthood. There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline than children. All in all, it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a fact, but a myth. 1. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?______. A. Teenagers are more difficult to teach than adults B. Danish teenagers can learn Swedish faster than younger children can C. Adults are more logical than children are D. The ability to learn languages increases with age 2. According to the writer of the passage, ______. A. people might lose the ability to learn foreign languages well at about 13 B. the younger a child is, the cleverer he is in language learning C. it is easier for grown-ups to master foreign languages than teenagers D. it is a good idea to let people learn foreign languages when they get old 3.

In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school. Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children’s education because tax money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private school, his parents pay the school for the child’s education. Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the government. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student’s family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses. 1. The students in some states of the U.S. must finish _____ school until they are _____ at least.

But man and some monkeys and apes are the only mammals that see color. To any other mammal, such as the dog, the world looks like a black-and-white photo. Dogs hunt mainly by listening and sniffing. Like other animals, dogs see best when things move. The animals they hunt seem to know this. A hunted rabbit or deer will “freeze”. Then the dog may not see it at all. Birds can see color. They need to because they fly and need to find places to land. Color helps them judge distance and shape. In this way they are able to catch bugs in the air or to land on branches. Some birds see things even better than you do. The birds that eat bugs can see them from far away. And even a very young bird can see a hawk high in the sky. So sharp eyes and a sense of color help birds find food and also help them find where their enemies are. 1. _____ can see color. A. All the animals B. Birds and monkeys C. Man and dogs D.

Among women who are eighteen to sixty-four years old, fifty percent have jobs. In general, working women have had more education than those staying at home. Of those who work, thirty-two percent have attended college, compared with twenty percent of those who do not have jobs. Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight percent took a vacation away from home during the past year. Much of their traveling was by air. These figures come from a report which was written for advertisers, the report shows a new picture of women today. For example, it tells advertisers that fifty-one percent of all American women have traveled by air——along with fifty-nine percent of all American men. The lesson for American business is that many women now have other interests besides their homes. They like advertisements which show women in office, planes, and cars. 1. _____ percent of working women are aged from eighteen to sixty-four. A. Fifty-four B. Fifteen C. Forty-five D. Fifty 2.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose work is never rewarded. When I left a 20 year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer. After a year I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who did wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 1.

The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after Martha Berry, herself a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer. Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot other children of the mountains whose parents couldn’t afford to send them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was housed in a single small log cabin and was attended by only five pupils. Now, eighty years later there are a score of Berry Schools in the area, with a total of over one thousand students and a waiting list of about five thousand. Martha Berry in her later years received many medals and honors for what she had done for the poor mountain children of Georgia, and in 1931 she was named one of the twelve most important women in the United States.

Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was ready. I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet used to driving in this city my wife did not want me to collect it on my own. So we went together to fetch it. We paid for the car. They told us that there was enough petrol to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The nearest garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there safely. But when I turned into the main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars facing towards me. I got out of their way as fast as I could by backing into the garage once more and the man behind me shouted at me. “It’s such a problem to remember to drive on the right, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had a few lessons for practice,” I replied. “You’d be sorry if you had an accident on the first day, wouldn’t you?” while we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English, “Would you mind telling me when you are thinking of leaving?

He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn’t know about.” So he became a thief——but he did not do the stealing. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do. One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house outside the town. It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano. When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family can’t have much money.

This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. He set up more than 30 of these libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and some friends started the first subscription library in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again. In the United States, every child had free education.

The ability to focus laser light so precisely makes it extremely powerful. For example, some beams can pierce a diamond, the hardest natural substance. A laser beam can also be transmitted over long distances with no loss of power. Some beams have reached the moon. The special qualities of laser light make it ideal for a variety of uses. Some types of lasers, for example, are used to play music, cut and weld metal, and transmit information. Lasers can also guide a missile to a target, repair damaged eyes, and produce beautiful displays of light. Still other lasers are used to adjust the straight line of walls and ceilings in a building or to print documents. Some lasers even can detect the slightest movement of a continent. As a result of their wide use, lasers can be found in equipment used in homes, factories, offices, hospitals, and libraries. 1. The passage is mainly about ______.

It usually has over a long period of time. The kind of homes we live in, the clothes we wear, even the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live. Climate is complicated; it is affected by many things. If you live near one of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for you do not get as much direct sunshine as you would get farther from the poles. If you live near the equator, you live in a warm or very hot climate, for this is the region where the sun shines almost straight down. How much rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. You may live in a hot, dry land, where little rain falls. This will be a desert. Its climate is quite different from that of a rain forest, which may be the same distance from the equator but rain falls almost every day. The amount of rain that falls or snow in a cold land depends upon the winds, upon the nearby mountains, and upon the currents in nearby seas. Rainfall depends on many different things. 1.

But then fate said to me: “Wait, we’re not finished with you. Now you’re going to find out what it feels like to get kicked off from the top.” On July 13, 1978, I was fired. I had been president of Ford for eight years and a Ford employee for thirty-two. I had never worked anywhere else. And now suddenly, I was out of a job. As you go through life, there are thousands of little forks in the road, and there are a few really big forks—those moments of thinking, moments of truth. This was mine as I wondered what to do. Should I pack it all in and retire. I was fifty-four years old. I had already accomplished a great deal. I was financially secure. But that just didn’t feel right. I knew I had to carry on. A few months later, I became the president of Chrysler, a company which was almost bankrupt at that time. Fortunately, Chrysler recovered. Today I’m a hero.

The small black ants that we see running back and forth in the grass are the same ants that bother us by coming to our picnics uninvited. They are not trying to be harmful, but are only doing the house-keeping job they were made for. They are nature’s clean-up crew. One of these ants, scouting in the grass, finds the trail of an injured beetle. In some mysterious way the news spreads. Soon there are two ants, then a few more.

It used steam for power and had wooden wheels. The first automobile may have been simple and primitive, but it was an extremely important invention. The automobile today is the primary means of land transportation. It has produced more changes in our daily life than any other machine. Almost all gasoline engines work in the same way—with four movements, or strokes, of a piston in a cylinder. The first stroke pulls the fuel mixture (gasoline and air) into the cylinder. The second stroke compresses the fuel mixture. A spark plug produces a spark that ignites the fuel mixture and causes the third stroke. The final stroke removes any waste gases which might remain in the cylinder. The preceding paragraph explains what happens inside the cylinder to make the piston move. When the piston is pushed down by the explosion in the third stroke, it pushes the connecting rod. This rod rotates the crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to other parts which turn the wheels. Most cars today have four, six, or eight cylinders. 1.A good title for this selection is _____. A. Automobiles B. How a Car Works C. The First Car D.

Paris is also a famous world center of education. For instance, it is the headquarters of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. The Seine River divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. thThe coldest and perhaps most well known is the Pont Neuf, which built in the 16 century. The Sorbonne, a famous university, is located on the Left Bank (south side) of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the Right Bank (north side) of the Seine. There are many other famous places in Paris, such as the famous museum the Louvre as well as the Cathedral of Notre Dame. However, the most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower. Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii. They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine River about 2 thousand years ago.

There was, one condition: I must be married before he died. If not, I wouldn’t receive a cent. I was not a greedy man, but I thought half a million dollars was a rather high price for keeping my freedom. I decided to make the great sacrifice. It was easier said than done. The doctor was certain my uncle would be dead within a fortnight. That put me in a difficult position. You see, besides being forty years old, I was also ugly. I had no lady friends, I couldn’t possibly advertise myself as wealthy until after my marriage. Advertise! What a good idea! I ran an advertisement in one of the popular Sunday newspapers. To my surprise and joy, I received over a thousand replies. I spent hours opening the letters. My heart sank. I couldn’t possibly read all the letters, still less interview their authors. Time was running out. In despair, I burnt all the letters. No choice was better than a bad choice. In this dejected state of mind, I went to see a good friend. He was the waiter in a restaurant.

However, French almost became the official language because of a war. The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. the name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of French. France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expend its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. however the French defeated Washington. The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle.

Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on various expenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that hey need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment to do sporting events and do many things that cost money. However, many Americans don’t pay cash or write checks for these things. More and more, they pay for things with credit cards (信用卡). Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes (委 托)the store to charge (记入)the bank account for the customer’s purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It asks the customer to pay for charges in several payments over a period of time. However, the bank requires the customer to pay interest on the unpaid of the charges.
