Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. American schools begin in September. There are two terms in a school year. The first term is from September to January, and the second is from February to June. Then the students have a great summer vacation.

試題分析：這篇文章講述的是美國(guó)的孩子通常在5歲的時(shí)候去上學(xué)，學(xué)校每年有兩個(gè)學(xué)期，在學(xué)校的學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)也不重，放學(xué)后也沒(méi)有很多作業(yè)，他們就去做運(yùn)動(dòng)。大多數(shù)的美國(guó)學(xué)生17歲的時(shí)候就去上大學(xué)，放學(xué)之后他們就去掙學(xué)費(fèi)。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章The first term is from September to January, and the second is from February to June.可知，美國(guó)的孩子們通常在暑假過(guò)后的9月份去上學(xué)。故選A
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章Most students are seventeen years old when they finish high school.After high school, many students go to college.可知，在美國(guó)，大多數(shù)的孩子在17歲的時(shí)候去上大學(xué)。故選B
小題3:推斷題。根據(jù)文章They need a lot of money to go to college. So many college students work after school to make money.他們上大學(xué)需要很多錢(qián)，所以許多大學(xué)生在下課后去掙錢(qián)。所以，make money的意思是掙錢(qián)。故選D
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章可知，美國(guó)的高中生每學(xué)期只有4,5門(mén)課程，他們每天都是學(xué)習(xí)同樣的課程，放學(xué)后也沒(méi)有很多作業(yè)，他們就能做很多有趣的運(yùn)動(dòng)。故選C
小題5:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章So many college students work after school to make money.可知，很多美國(guó)大學(xué)生下課后就去掙錢(qián)。故選B

One of my favourite things to do is hiking in mountains. Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I always prepare before every trip. But what’s the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a good old map and compass? Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail I marked. One team of three carried a GPS, and the other team used a map and compass.
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike, however, it took the map and compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the satellite signal (衛(wèi)星信號(hào)) in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot (認(rèn)出) different landmarks, compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
When I head out on my future hikes, I’m bringing a map, a compass and a GPS to show me the way.
小題1:The writer prepares before every trip because he doesn’t _________.
A．like the old map or compass
B．know how to use the GPS
C．want to get lost in mountains
D．want to get into the mountains alone
小題2:The two teams _________.
A．had the same navigation tool
B．went along the same trail
C．had the same problem
D．finished the whole hike at the same time
小題3:In the end, the writer found out _________.
A．the map and the compass were too old navigation tools to use any more
B．it wasn’t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS
C．the GPS had some bad points in hiking in mountains
D．he wouldn’t use a GPS any more

Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn’t want to live there, and he didn’t want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.
His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver’s license just before his eighteenth birthday.
The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad!” When everything was done, they were ready to leave.
Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, “It’s my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!”
His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.
So he said, smiling, “I’m sure you’re back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive.”
“No,” Dad replied, “Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!”
小題1:Which of the following is NOT the reason why Martin’s father agreed to buy him a car?.
A．Martin would go to college and it was far from home.
B．Martin preferred living at home to living at college.
C．Martin didn’t want to take the public transport.
D．Martin was able to learn how to drive very quickly.
小題2:In which order did Martin do the following things?
a. He finished his high school.               b. He test-drove driving the new car.
c. He got his driver’s license.                d. He decided to buy the Blue Bird.
e. He kicked the front seat while his father was driving.
A．e—a—c—b—dB．a(chǎn)—c—b—d—eC．e—c—a—b—dD．a(chǎn)—c—d—b—e
小題3:How would the whole family probably feel on their way back home?
A．AngryB．SadC．CheerfulD．Shocked

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains(痛苦), and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責(zé)任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society(社會(huì)) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position(地位) in society.
小題1:What is the happiest person according to the passage?
A．A child who can do whatever he likes.
B．An old person who lives in a comfortable life.
C．A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him.
D．A person who never wastes his time in his whole life.
小題2:Which of the following is true, according to the second paragraph?
A．Life for a child is fairly easy.
B．A child is always loved whatever he does.
C．If much is given to a child, he must do something in return.
D．Only children are interested in life.
小題3:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains.
B．Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.
C．Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life.
D．One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
小題4:What will the fourth paragraph most probably discuss following this passage?
A．Examples of successful young men.
B．How to build up one’s position in society.
C．Joys and pains of old people.
D．What to do when one has problems in life.

 Dear Sir or Madam,
Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (誤點(diǎn)). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (賠償).
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours, David Robertson
請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從所給的選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
小題1:When did the train leave Glasgow?
A. At 8:00 a.m.             B. At 8:40 a.m.      C. At 9:00 a.m. 
小題2:How did David go to Frankfurt from London?
A. By plane.               B. By bus.      C. By car.
小題3:How long did David stay on the train?
A. 40 minutes.            B. 30 minutes.    C. Over 5 hours.
小題4:What could David buy on the train?
A. Hot dogs.            B. Sandwiches.    C. Soft drinks.
小題5:Which of the following is NOT true? 
A. This is not a thank-you letter.
B. David was very pleased with the trip.
C. The service of the station was very poor.
