There are many kinds of sales. For example, a “back-to-school sale” is held near the beginning of the school year. Parents like the lower prices of the clothes and school supplies for their children.

A “midnight madness” event starts very late at night. An “early bird special” sale starts very early in the morning. This kind of sale is popular the day after Thanksgiving in November.

A favorite sale among many people is the “buy one, get one free” sale. You buy one thing and get a second one without cost. When people see the word “free” in an advertisement they know they are getting a good deal. As a matter of fact, it is not the case.

Another kind of sale is a “going out of business” sale. This is when a storeowner tries to sell all the goods in the store before closing the business permanently(永久地).

Let us say the store sells floor coverings. The owner lowers the prices and puts up a sign that says: “Going out of business sale. All items MUST be sold by tomorrow.”

People who buy the floor coverings think they are getting a special deal because everything must be sold in a short period of time. Then, days later they see the store did not close permanently. And they see the same sign that claims the store is going out of business. Some business owners really do not end the business. They just want to earn more money.

People also hold their own sales. They hold garage sales and yard sales outside their home. They sell things they no longer want. Groups such as religious centers or schools hold bake sales. They sell cakes, cookies and other baked goods to raise money.

In America, you can always find a good sale, no matter the day or time of year. There is the Independence Day sale, Veteran’s Day sale, clearance sale, sidewalk sale, red tag sale, white sale, blue light special, liquidation sale, half-off sale, warehouse sale, tent sale ...

1.What does the passage mainly deal with?

A. How to save money in shopping.

B. Different kinds of sales.

C. Shoppers’ ways to earn money.

D. Reasons for the popularity of sales.

2.What do we call the sale if it starts before the sun rises?

A. A “back-to-school sale”.

B. A “midnight madness” event.

C. An “early bird special” sale.

D. A “buy one, get one free” sale.

3.Why do parents like a “back-to-school sale”?

A. Because it has a variety of school supplies.

B. Because it is held at the beginning of the school year.

C. Because it provides plenty school uniforms.

D. Because they can save money.

4.What’s the purpose of some owners who do “going out of business” sale repeatedly?

A. They want to close the business permanently.

B. They want to give special offers to customers.

C. They want to sell all their goods in a short period of time.

D. They want to cheat the customers into buying their goods.

Urbanization

Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5500 years ago. 1. In fact, nearly everyone live on farms or in tiny rural(鄉(xiāng)村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history 一 a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.

Britain was only the beginning. 2. The process of urbanization — the migration(遷徙) of people from the countryside to the city — was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.

In 1900, fewer than 40％ of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82％ of Americans live in cities. Only about 2％ live on farms. 3.

Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 4.

Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmer and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.

Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5. Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.

A. That kept cities very small.

B. The rest live in small towns.

C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.

D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.

E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.

F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.

G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table，I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked，“So，how have you been?" And the boy -who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-replied．“Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately．"

This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”，that is，in low spirits，until we were in high school．

Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years．Children don't seem childlike anymore．Children speak more like adults，dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to．

Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why?

Human development is depended not only on born biological states，but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social posifions．Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in stages；traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders．

In the last 30 years，however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes．It is called television．Television passes information to all viewers allke，whether they are children or adults．Unable to resist the temptation(誘惑)，many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging，more attractive moving pictures．

Communication through print，as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain．Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials．

1.According to the author, feeling depressed is ．

A．a(chǎn) sure sign of a mental problem in a child

B．a(chǎn) mental state present in all humans, including children

C．something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development

D．something hardly to be expected in a young child

2.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ．

A．through connection with society

B．gradually and under guidance

C．naturally without being taught

D．through watching television

3.According to the author’that today’s children seem adultlike results from ．

A．the widespread influence of television

B．the poor arrangement of teaching content

C．the fast pace of human scientific development

D．the rising standard of living

4.What does the anthor think of communication through print for children?

A．It enables children to gain more social information．

B．It develops children’s interest in reading and writing．

C．It helps chlldren to read and write well

D．It can control what children are to learn．

5.What does the author think of the change in today’s children?

A．He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny．

B．He thinks the change worthy of note．

C．He considers it a rapid development．

D．He seems to be upset about it．

閱讀下面短文，按照要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。（共5小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分l0分)

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches，we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us．Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks．The world has realized that we need the species，like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem．

Sharks，in particular，are“in’’these days．Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee，killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool．

The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades，threatening sharks with extinction(滅絕)-up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins．But we have started to reverse the trend，particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu．

In California，a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.

Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years．These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins．

Actually，stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products．These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos，besides killing marine life．

Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys，killing animals is big business．The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a fall-scale war．The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals．

1.Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks?

(No more than 15 words)

2.What’s the main reason for killing sharks?(No more than 10 Worals)

3.Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup?

(No more than 5 Words)

4.What does the underlined word‘‘reverse”in Paragraph 3 mean?(1 word)

5.In your opinion，what’s the best way to stop killing animals?(No more than 20 words)
