【題目】 Never before had a Kitchen so much of a History

It tells of Freedom, Success, and of the Architecture of big American cities. Because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th century!

Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design

Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White. They all had studied at the cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: Beaux-Arts.

SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and Creates

In fact, it was not a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures. Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for it. But what does that have to do with your kitchen? Just as much as you want it to. Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen. For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from menu of various forms, appealing colors, and precious materials, to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.

【1】Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?

A.It helped display their money status.

B.It was created by famous architects.

C.It was named after a famous institute.

D.It represented the 19th century urban culture.

【題目】 When I reached inside the floorboard, my hand touched what felt like a book. I pulled it out. It was an old and small book: Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations. I wondered whom the quotations (引語(yǔ)) were supposed to be familiar to. What I did know, thanks to Ms. Rattray, my seventh-grade teacher, was the correct way to use quotation marks. I decided to see what was inside this little book.

On the top corners of each page was a word or phrase, I opened it to “comfort and despair” and then “doubt” and “l(fā)ight”. I’d never thought about “l(fā)ight” any other way except as a lamp or daylight. It turned out that Mr Bartlett didn’t feel all these emotions himself. He had gathered up quotations from thousands of other people.

I was relieved to discover that those people were not afraid to express what they thought, including the fears and that they had so many thoughts about things that troubled me. Before this, I was lonely and I didn’t know whom talk to about the world and my role in it.

In ninth grade, I worked as an assistant at our local library. I often hid in the comer, where no one would see me, and I would read. It was at this library that I realized how some of those emotions I’d felt while reading Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations came to life in the characters I had started discovering in novels.

I have bought a few of the newer editions, but the original one is the one that helped me explore my inner self and see more than young mind and heart were able to understand.

【1】How might the author feel when he found the book by chance?

A.Curious.B.Familiar.C.Thankful.D.Puzzled

【2】What does Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations mainly include?

A.Bartlett’s real personal feelings.

B.Thoughts of thousands of people.

C.Emotional stories of other people.

D.A representative word collection.

【3】What do we know about the author in ninth grade?

A.He found time to read Bartlett’s books again.

B.He volunteered to work as a school librarian.

C.He vividly understood the characters’ feelings.

D.He learned to analyze Bartlett’s life in depth.

Introduction to anger

Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. The positive side of this negative emotion is that it has helped us to evolve as humans and cope in a better manner with our surroundings. However, it tends to become a problem when we fail to control it. Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled one of your relationships for which you regret later. It has some bad effects on the health, too.

We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us whom we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make you more upset. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member, about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance of finding a solution to your problem. Besides, there are no better stress relievers than humor. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is becoming unmanageable, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.

Anger tends to make us have a lot of negative thoughts. Therefore, we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this you have to first refuse all the negative thoughts that are in your mind one by one. This can be done with a lot of practice. Once you are successful in that, you have to maintain your focus only on the positive things of life.

Meditation (冥想) is an excellent anger management technique. In addition, what we do is disconnect ourselves from the outer world and focus all our attention into the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that tend to cause anger.

【題目】Christmas is the biggest holiday in many countries including the US and the UK. Decorating Christmas trees, giving gifts and singing Christmas songs are just a few of the traditions that the two nations share. However, just as there are many cultural differences between the two, Christmas is not the same on both sides of the Atlantic. BBC has pointed out some differences.

According to BBC, the language of Christmas is not completely the same in the US and UK. “Americans will appear confused or chuckle(暗自笑) to themselves if you wish them ‘Happy Christmas’ instead of ‘Merry Christmas’,” BBC said. In addition, the shortening of Christmas to “Chrimbo” is almost unknown in the US. Another difference is the name of the white-bearded man. British people usually call him “Father Christmas” while Americans refer to him only as “Santa Claus” or simply “Santa”.

A good, old US Christmas dinner doesn’t necessarily（必然地）have turkey. BBC explained that Americans prepare special food for Thanksgiving, and they often go for ham or roast beef on Christmas Day. Christmas cake, and Christmas pudding are popular desserts(餐后甜點(diǎn))in the UK. In the US, however, your post-meal treat will probably be one of the following: pumpkin pie, fruit cake, apple pie, or sweet potato pie.

In the US, but not in the UK, the beautiful Christmas decorations you see in films are real, and some people even turn their houses into light shows, according to BBC. “Driving through American suburbia (郊區(qū)) at Christmas can sometimes feel like a tour of Disney World,” the news network described.

【1】What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Christmas in the world

B. Christmas and traditions

C. The importance of Christmas

D. Christmas on both sides of the Atlantic

【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. “Chrimbo” is more widely used in the UK.

B. We’d better say “Happy Christmas” to Americans.

C. White-bearded man is usually called “Father Christmas” in the US.

D. The language of Christmas is almost the same in the US and UK.

【3】Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Christmas is not exactly the same in the US and UK.

B. You can see the beautiful Christmas decorations in the UK.

C. Christmas cake, pudding are popular with American people.

D. You may have apple pie or fruit cake in your post-meal in the UK.

【4】Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A science magazine. B. A culture magazine.

C. A guide book. D. A business report.

We’ll never forget a day when my classmates and I paid a visit a chemistry factory. It is a large one with nearly 20, 000 workers. It looks like a garden but we saw colorful flowers, grass and trees there. We also visited some workshop and found workers working hard. We talked to them and learned a lot of. We understood them farther. On the way home we felt very tiring, but we both thought we had a very good day. We really hoped what we could get more chances of learn about society.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

That our students rarely get the opportunity to use their imagination was an open secret among Chinese people. Now，a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world.

The survey covering 21 countries，conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization，showed Chinese students excelled at math，beating their peers from other countries. But when it came to using their imagination，they were tied for the last place. And in creativity，they were fifth from the bottom.

The survey results are not shocking，given the way our children are taught in schools and at home. But they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways.

Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination. Right from the day they enter school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams. Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors. And to pass those exams，they are made to learn by fixed standard answers.

Teachers dare not encourage students to think outside the box. Teachers don't like students questioning them，killing the curiosity of the young minds. For children，there's hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home.

Israel shares the values of education with China. But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli parents treat their children and we do. Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children. Instead，they encourage them to learn how to live independently. In contrast，Chinese parents go to extremes，allowing their children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a “mistake”．

The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds to imagination and creativity. It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they should do to let our children's imagination and creativity blossom.

【1】Based on the passage，the creativity of the Chinese students ranks ________ among the 21 countries.

A．the 5th

B．the 17th

C．the 21st

D．the 1st

【2】Why is the imagination of the Chinese students so poor?

A．Their parents often improve their educational ways.

B．They are thought to be lacking in curiosity.

C．Their teachers are afraid of being questioned.

D．They are not encouraged to imagine both at home and in class.

【3】What does the underlined word “mollycoddle” probably mean in Paragraph 6?

A．spoil

B．motivate

C．a(chǎn)ppreciate

D．scold

【4】It can be learned from the passage Israeli parents ________.

A．lay much more emphasis on education than Chinese ones

B．a(chǎn)llow their children to live in whatever way they like

C．focus more attention on developing their children's living ability

D．encourage their children to commit mistakes in lives

【5】Israel is introduced in the passage mainly ________.

A．to enrich the content of the text

B．to support and advocate Israel education

C．to illustrate the disadvantages of Chinese education

D．to criticize the wrong behavior of Chinese parents
