【題目】A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children．showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies．

These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular .You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines．Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and to on．

Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research．Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories．There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(內(nèi)容豐富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen

【題目】For lots of people in Britain, the 31st of December, or New Year’s Eve as we call it, is the biggest party of the year. It’s a time to get together with friends or family and welcome in the coming year. New Year’s Eve parties can take place at a number of different places. Some people hold a house party; others attend street parties, while some just go to their local for a few drinks with their mates. Big cities, like London, have large and wonderful fireworks shows.

There’s one thing that all New Year’s Eve parties have in common: the countdown(倒計(jì)時(shí)) to midnight. When the clock strikes(敲)twelve, people give a loud cheer, and give each other a kiss. They then link arms and sing a song called Auld Lang Syne, by a Scottish poet called Robert Burns. Not many people can remember all the words of the song, but the tune(旋律) is well known, so lots of people just hum along. The parties then continue into the early hours of the morning with lots of dancing and drinking. Other people might spend the day visiting relatives or friends they haven’t managed to catch up with for a while. Whatever happens, New Year’s Day tends to be very relaxed.

In Britain, it’s popular to make a promise to yourself about something you are going to do, or want to stop doing, in the New Year. This is called a New Year’s resolution. Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and joining a gym to get fit. However, the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.

New Year’s Day is the last bank holiday of the festive season, which means most people have to go to work the next day: bright and fresh and ready for the new year ahead!

【1】New Year’s Eve parties in Britain ________.

A. end at midnight

B. can only be held indoors

C. only take place in big cities

D. include countdown to midnight

【2】The underlined word “hum” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. dancing to the music

B. singing with your mouth closed

C. learning to sin

D. keeping silent

【3】What does the author think of the New Year’s resolution?

A. It can help people keep fit.

B. It’s a promise to your family.

C. It’s often hard to keep.

D. It’s a joke played on New Year’s Day.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. New Year parties in Britain.

B. New Year countdown in Britain.

C. New Year’s resolution in Britain.

D. New Year celebration in Britain.

【題目】My grandfather lived only half a mile away from where I grew up in New York. Every day, he would walk down to our house and bring my dad newspapers. Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats (美食) for my two brothers and me.

Western New York had terrible winter weather: rain, sleet (雨夾雪), or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81, he still walked the half mile every single day. As a child, I looked forward to the daily treats, but now I’m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile; I now value that more than anything else.

My grandfather touched many lives. A woman who had been in hospital for five years told me her story. She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home: to read to her, play bridge, or just chat. It lasted for years without stop. She had few visitors. Even a hitch-hiker who had traveled by getting free rides from passing cars told me of my grandfather’s influence on his life. My grandfather had picked him up for free and took the traveler to his home. After learning that the man was homeless, my grandfather gave him a place to stay. The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him. He later found a job in a supermarket.

I was touched, but not surprised to know all of the touching stories from which I understood my grandfather’s selflessness. I have since tried to learn from him to help others. Although he died years ago, we still respect him.

【1】The writer’s grandfather walked to his grandson’s home each day in order to ________.

A. bring his son newspapers

B. give his grandchildren some food

C. take exercise by walking

A. kind B. selfless C. strict D. helpful

【3】The underlined word “hitch-hiker” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. 喜歡乘車旅行的人 B. 免費(fèi)搭便車旅行的人

C. 被父母遺棄的人 D. 獨(dú)自旅行并迷路的人

【4】From the text we can infer that ________.

A. the writer didn’t know his grandfather’s selflessness until years later

B. the writer’s grandfather went to his house except on snowy days

C. the writer’s grandfather ever looked after a woman in hospital for five years

D. the writer’s grandfather ever helped a stranger find a job in a supermarket

【題目】In a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．

There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at a11．

Technology experts often talk about the “l(fā)ast mile” problem， which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊區(qū))，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers．for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.

But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．

Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纖電纜)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still．the“l(fā)ast mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

【1】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Internet connections have been popular everywhere．

B．Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(農(nóng)村的)customers．

C. The problem of Internet access hasn’t been completely dealt with

D. Computer can’t become popular in developing countries．

【2】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.

A．make TV and telephone available everywhere

B．bring great change to people’s everyday life

C. bring faster Internet connections to users

D. make it possible for more people to use the Internet

【3】What may eventually settle the“l(fā)ast mile”problem?

A. The broadband connection’s getting faster．

B．The rapid progress in cell phone technology．

C．More and more Internet connections．

D. More and more Internet users

【4】The best title for this passage may be________．
