Mr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy. Sometimes, he brought some materials to the factory, and most of the time, he had to carry the goods to the customers of the factory. It was not an easy job, but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework to give him a comfortable home for a rest after work. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(賭博) and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and hardly forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife had told him not to do it for many times, but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away.

It was New Year’s Day. Mr. Lang didn’t go to work. After the meal, he felt very lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn’t think the police would come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few policemen.

A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the name of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.
Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.
"We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, " the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.
Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制臺(tái)) that is connected to a database (數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)). The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.
Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation（合作）with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.
One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反復(fù)無(wú)常) , " the marketing manager said.
小題1:This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.
A．was invented in Japan 　　　　B．has developed quickly
C．will be sold in AmericaD．sells well for its price
小題2:The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________.
A．marketsB．productsC．plansD．cats
小題3:From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product.
A．proud ofB．satisfied withC．confident ofD．worried about

Microsoft founder  Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his fortune(財(cái)富)，largely to the cause of global health，during the course of his lifetime.With an estimated(估計(jì))worth of more than $40 billion，according to Forbes，the project will be no small fate(功績(jī)) for Gates.Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $24 billion to address global health issues，Gates said that finally his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”.
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest？Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity（機(jī)會(huì)）”in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the populations，he says，has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful.“National borders allow inequalities，”said Gates.“We all need  to take a more global view，rather than just saying my country is doing well.We have to step up these health issues，knowing how few resources are going into them.”
Gates said that both his parents set up an example for him as a child.His father，William H．Gates，was the head of the local Planned Parenthood，and his mother，Mary，volunteered for the United Way.As he gathered his fortune，Gates knew he would finally want to give back as well，but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole?heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
However，Gates,47，began to question his ability to wait that long.“It seemed there was a real time urgency，”Gates said.“I started to think how many lives I could save before then.”
小題1:Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to　　　　.
A．improve the health of population all over the world
B．improve the health of population in America alone
C．a(chǎn)void leaving his children too much money

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解


“Colour” and “color”, “favourite” and “favorite”···Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?
Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758—1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists（語(yǔ)言學(xué)家） celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War(1775—1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions（版本）. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining（定義） preposterous, he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography（傳記） about Webster. “He at last bonded（聯(lián)合） us through our language.”
小題1:          According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT______.
A．dropping “u” in all the British words
B．changing “centre” into “center”
C．a(chǎn)dding local words
D．expressing his opinion.
小題2:          When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?
A．In 1758B．In 1783C．In 1800D．In 1828
小題3:          Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?
A．Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
B．Because he wanted American English to have it own characteristics（特征）.
C．Because he wanted to make American English the best in the world.
D．Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
小題4:          Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?
A．InterestingB．BoringC．UnfinishedD．Meaningful
小題5:          Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?
A．Webster
B．American identity
C．The shaper of American English
D．Spelling difference between American and British English.
