【題目】閱讀理解。

The saying “a penny for your thoughts” is an English idiom simply asking people to volunteer their opinions on an issue being discussed. In modern usage, it is often stated as an indirect way of asking what someone is thinking about.

This phrase is basically a proposal (提議), and the speaker is offering to pay to hear the listener's thoughts. It is an idiom, of course, and not meant literally (字面上地) so no real payment generally takes place.

When the saying originated, a penny was worth a lot more than it is in the 21st century.Therefore, “a penny for your thoughts” likely indicated the thoughts were more valuable to those asking the listener for them than they are by today's standards. This loss of value can be used ironically (諷刺地), however, through tone (語氣) of voice; it can be used to indicate that someone's idea is bad or worth a penny in modern value.

The phrase is generally credited to a man by the name of John Heywood, who was born sometime just before the 16th century. During his life, he was a writer who penned many plays and a book in 1546, later known as The Proverbs of John Heywood. It is likely that Heywood did not actually come up with the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”. Rather, he was simply the first person to have set the phrase down in written form. The actual origins of the term are unknown, and since his book was simply a collection of common idioms and expressions, it was probably familiar to people in the mid 1500s.

Another phrase similar to “a penny for your thoughts”is offering “your two cents” after making a statement. Someone might give his or her opinion and then say, “that's my two cents，” to indicate the value of his or her idea. While, much like a penny, “two cents” is relatively low in value now, it would have been more valuable at one time and the expression is used in much the same way.

【1】When someone says “a penny for your thoughts”， he or she________.

A．wants to ask you for advice

B．considers your thoughts unique

C．is curious about what's on your mind

D．will pay for what you're thinking about

【2】The modern meaning of “a penny for your thoughts” ________.

A．is more closely connected to the value of the penny

B．can differ greatly according to a speaker's tone of voice

C．can confuse the listener easily

D．is more popularly accepted

【3】In what way is Heywood related to the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”？

A．He came up with it while he was writing.

B．He helped to explain the origins of it.

C．He contributed to the wide use of it.

D．He was the first person to use it.

【4】What do we know about the phrase “your two cents”？

A．It is usually used at the end of a statement.

B．It comes from “a penny for your thoughts”．

C．It has witnessed some changes since the 16th century.

D．It is more familiar to people than “a penny for your thoughts”．

【題目】閱讀理解。

For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks: that's a lot of paper.

Worse, it's not easy to carry them around — and trust me, they aren't light — on at least seven moves. Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they'd wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. When would the Big Day come?

Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess.

The pain I experienced was also unexpected. What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers I'd written, which reminded me of my poor study habits, and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. But it was also a clearing of personal history.

At first, I struggled with this. The truth was in the record that my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth.

What I've learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isn't in the documents but now in me.

So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden. And what's better is that I don't need to look back to those painful moments. They belong to the past.

You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind.

What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome.

【1】Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?

A．Because his wife persuaded him to.

B．Because they were of no use at all.

C．Because they were heavy on the moves.

D．Because they occupied space too long.

【2】The author struggled at the very beginning for ________.

A．a(chǎn) sense of pain

B．a(chǎn) sense of embarrassment

C．a(chǎn) sense of regret for the past

D．a(chǎn) sense of losing part of his history

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The past experiences.

B．The wasted collegerelated materials.

C．The rubbish in the basement.

D．Physical and psychological mess.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Let It Go B．Sort It Out

C．Give up the Past D．Forget the History

【題目】閱讀理解。

Heritage is our legacy (遺產(chǎn)) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (無可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world's heritage.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.

How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.

1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

【1】What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To tell us what is heritage.

B．To stress the importance of heritages.

C．To explain the aims of protecting heritages.

D．To introduce some places of interest in the world.

【2】About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT________.

A．identification B．a(chǎn)pplication

C．protection D．conservation

【3】If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country________.

A．can ask UNESCO for more money and help

B．should continue to take special care of it

C．won't take trouble of caring for it

D．will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger

【4】The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is________.

A．to attract more tourists from other countries

B．to get more money and help from other countries

C．to have it taken better care of

D．to make it known to other countries
