The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must   36  sixty hours of service learning,   37  they will not receive a diploma（文憑）.    38   of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a  39  about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many   40 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think   41 their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that   42  responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers 43  service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month.  44  there are many benefits, opponents （反對者） point out problems with the new requirement. First, they   45 that ,because service learning is time-consuming, students spend   46  time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without   47  goes against the law.
In my view, service learning is a great way to   48  to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.  49  , I don’ t believe you should force people to help others – the  50  to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.

  With its budget of $80 million , John Woo as director, and an all-star cast（明星云集的演員陣容）, Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows.
But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao’s from my Zhou Yu’s, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn’t so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.
And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy（偵探）and an innocent northern soldier. The characters’ interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.
Clocking in at（結(jié)束于）around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained（精疲力竭） as Cao Cao’s soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.
小題1:By expressing “boy oh boy” in the first paragraph, the author seems to show that _______.
A．the film characters are like boys who are childish.
B．the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience.
C．the film is suitable for younger boys to watch.
D．the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn’t watch it.
小題2:When did the author change his attitude toward Cao Cao?
A．When he read the history story about Cao Cao.
B．When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju,
C．When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies.
D．When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy.
小題3:The following factors of the film are all mentioned in the passage except_______.
A．high budgetB．leading rolesC．a(chǎn)ctors and actressD．conversations
小題4:From the passage we can infer that_______.
A．the author is a football fan in a foreign country.
B．Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football.
C．the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours.
D．the author was very tired after about two hours’ battle.

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids(金字塔). They have stood for nearly 5, 000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered(散布)along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.

　　Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stones to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
　　The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun sets. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack(破裂)under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
小題1:According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid　　　　.
A．is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future
B．was built on the sand along the Nile
C．is one that was built later than the true pyramids
D．is the most famous of the true pyramids
小題2: The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that　　　　.
A．people have taken good care of them
B．it doesn’t rain often in Egypt
C．they were well designed
D．the government has protected them from damage
小題3:Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by　　　.
A．the regular floods
B．the dry climate of Egypt
C．people searching for gold
D．people in search of building materials
小題4:The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because　　　　.
A．they believed in their god
B．it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile
C．the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials
D．it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids

As is known to us all, baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.
Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.
For many years frequent(經(jīng)常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (="necessary)" to good health.
小題1: A water system for baths was built by _________ over 3,000 years ago.
A．the GreeksB．the RomansC．the AmericansD．the Europeans

What do those countries have in common? People are killing each other or drive others out of their homes. Why is this happening? Very simple, in each of these, one group of people believes another group is different from them and dangerous to them. It has been thus through history. How different are humans from each other?
We come in different colors: red, black, white, yellow and brown; we have a variety of political systems, social systems, religious views or none at all; We are different in mind, have different educational systems, different economic classes. We speak different languages, and have different customs and dresses.
If we were to break each of these further, we would have quite a long list of qualities and characteristics that make humans appears to be different from each other. I say they appear to be different, because most of what have been listed stand for what we see or hear, not what is true of human. Man is man everywhere. It is only where he lives, when he lives there, with whom he lives there, and al the others that have effect on how he lives, that is, what he believes, what he wears, his customs, his language and so on. These are man-made facts that each group develops over tome, living together, facing the same problems, needing and desiring the same things. They are his culture. The truth is that we are much more same than different. If you wear one type of clothing and I wear another, we both wear some kind of clothing. Our culture demands it. If you speak one language and I another, we both speak so that others will understand us; we must communicate with each other. Nothing is gained by giving too many differences, but much is lost. If we understood our differences as the ones of culture, then we could make our world more peaceful.
Differences does not mean better or worse, right or wrong. It means only that differences have been made by society. Differences produce variety of thoughts, work out human problems peacefully.
小題1: Which of the following is the best tile for this passage?
A．Differences.B．HumansC．Cultures.D．Customs.

小題3:If you pay much attention to differences, ________.
A．we will get something.

Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one color may mean something differently in different places of the world?
In the English-speaking world, black is the color of mourning—people wear black at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed（傷亡）. Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the color of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
Even within the English-speaking area, it is not difficult to find color contradictions（矛盾）.A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical, because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded or a blue-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression “blueblood” comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly told the world that they had “blue blood”. Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood. But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair-skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管)stood out appearing blue.
小題1: Yellow is concerned with anger in ________________.
A．IndiaB．Britain
C．ChinaD．Italy
小題2:Both Britain and America would probably agree that ________________.
A．a(chǎn) redcap is a porter in a station
B．black is the color of mourning
C．red stands for beauty and excellence
D．a(chǎn) black-coated worker is employed in an office
小題3: In Britain , a redcap is a           
A．porterB．noblemanC．clerkD．military policeman

      Imagine, one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．
Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China’s high-speed railway system．And that’s not all．China has an even greater high-speed railway plan — to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．
China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．
China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．
If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days．
The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．
China’s bullet train（高速客車），the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the World’s fastest average speed．It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours．
Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge（軌距），maintenance of railway tracks．So，it’s important to pay attention to every detail．
But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．
It’ll be a win-win project．For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．
For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China’s far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all．And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．
小題1:China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ________．
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D．the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism
小題2:According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is ________．
A．technical issuesB．safety of the system
C．financial problemsD．maintenance of railway tracks
小題3:Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?
A．Critical．B．Reserved．C．Doubtful．D．Positive．
小題4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．New Railway Standards.B．Big Railway Dreams.
C．High-speed Bullet Trains. D．International Railway Network
