Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why

you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It

seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.

French

French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food

and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.

Australians

Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans

Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For

example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!

三、阅读理解(共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分)

阅读下面的三篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳选项。

There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people's faults (缺点), while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings (短处).

So it’s easy to find other people's faults, but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us.

There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."

He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty. "Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them." Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.

When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, "'You are such a rude person."

He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others.

If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry. 26. Tommy thought it was hard to be friends with Simon because Simon was _________.

A. impatient B. a rude person

C. dishonest D. too proud of his rich parents

27. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Tommy was a person liked by others.

B. Tommy liked sharing his things with others.

C. Tommy always discovered his own shortcoming.

D. Maybe Tommy was no better than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

28. In this passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us ________.

A. to be more patient

B. not to be a person with vanity

C. not to take others' things without asking

D. to pay more attention to our own shortcomings

B

Do you know that it is your immune system (免疫系统) working against the virus that makes you uncomfortable when getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune system—and the virus is strong enough too—you will possibly get terrible cold

symptoms (症状) such as having a headache, having a high fever, sneezing or coughing,

Vitamin C won't stop a cold. It is said that Vitamin C works by increasing white blood cells. However, many tests have shown that it does not prevent colds. At best, it only reduces the time of symptoms.

Staying indoors won't protect you. One of the most likely sources (根源) of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk. A study of the cold virus in offices found that 46 per cent of computer mice and 45 per cent of telephones had cold viruses on them.

Wearing warm clothes won't protect you. Colds are more common in autumn and winter. That's because the cool, wet and cold weather drives people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to the next. And the distinct peak (高峰期) in colds is in September and February, which likely because of the return of students to schools and colleges after the summer and winter holidays.

Old wives are right about chicken soup. Grandmothers' chicken soup is an old cure for colds for a long 6me. Scientists say it is true. Chicken soup does help cure a cold, so many wives usually cook chicken soup for their family members in cold winters.

29. According to the passage, when your immune system is working against the virus, you don't have cold symptoms like ________.

A. headache B. stomachache C. sneeze D. cough

30. Which of the following ways can really help cure colds?

A. Staying indoors.

B. Wearing more clothes.

C. Drinking some chicken soup.

D. Eating some fruit with Vitamin C.

31. Why are colds more common in autumn and winter?

A. Because students return to school.

B. Because the weather is cool, wet and cold.

C. Because people don't drink chicken soup.

D. Because people use computers or telephones more often.

C

At noon the rush hour had passed. There were few guests (顾客) in the snack bar. It was not crowded. When the boss was about to take a break to read a newspaper, in came an old lady and a little boy.

“How much money is a bowl of beef soup?” the grandma sat down, counted the money in her purse and ordered a bowl of beef soup. The grandma pushed the bowl to the little boy, who swallowed (吞咽) his saliva (口水), looking at his grandma and saying, "Grandma, did you really have lunch?" "Of course." His grandma chewed (咀嚼) a piece of radish (萝卜泡菜) slowly. Very quickly, the little boy ate up the meal.

Seeing this. the boss went over to them and said, "Old lady, congratulations, you are lucky to

have the free food, for you are our 100th guest."

Afterwards, over a month or more, one day, the small boy squatted (蹲) across the snack bar, where he seemed to be counting something, which shocked the boss when he happened to look out office window.

When the small boy saw a guest walk into the snack bar, he would put a small stone into the circle he drew, but the lunch time had almost passed, the small stones he put into the circle were hardly 50.

The boss was quite worried and called up all his old guests. The guests started coming one after another.

"81, 82, 83… " the small boy counted faster and faster. At last, when the 99th small stone was put into the circle, the little boy hurried to pull his grandma's hand and went into the snack bar. "Grandma, this time it's on me," the little boy said proudly. The grandma who had become the real 100th guest was served a bowl of beef soup by her grandson. As his grandma as before, the little boy chewed a piece of radish in his mouth.

32. Grandma ordered only one bowl of beef soup because ________.

A. Grandma only liked radish

B. Grandma didn't like beef soup

C. Grandma loved her grandson more than herself

D. There was only one bowl of beef soup left in the snack bar at that time

33. What do you think of the boss of the snack bar'?

A. Impatient. B. Warm hearted. C. Very rich. D. Hard-working.

34. Why did the boy put the small stones into the circle he drew?

A. He played games with his friends.

B. He was asked to count the guests for the boss.

C. He wanted to get the free beef soup for his grandma.

D. He only wanted to know the number of the small stones.

35. Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. The 100th guest B. A snack bar

C. A boy counting stones D. A poor grandma

The stressful school life and unhealthy lifestyles cause some problems to students. Here are some key mistakes and some tips.

■ Sitting too long

So much homework and many computer games make students sit for several hours without standing or walking around. Because of long time sitting, some students have got diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease (疾病).

Tips: ·Get up and out of your chair for about five minutes every hour.

·Walk over to a person instead of sending e-mails or text messages.

■ Eating irregularly

Some students develop unhealthy eating habits. Fast food becomes more often. Heavy studying and stress prevent students from eating meals regularly.

Tips: ·Eat breakfast with eggs at the start of every day.

·Buy healthy snacks like nuts and fruits, and eat them between meals.

·Have three meals a day at the right time.

■ Sleeping less

Not enough sleep breaks the smooth cycle of our biological clock (生物钟). It can cause heart disease and high blood pressure (高血压).

Tips: ·Be sure to sleep for seven to eight hours every night.

·Have a rest for about 30 minutes at noon.

■ Having lots of energy drinks

An energy drink or an extra cup of coffee might seem like the only way to get through a late-night study time. High levels of caffeine (咖啡因) can also cause high blood pressure.

Tips: ·The safest way to get more energy is to eat regular meals, sleep well, exercise and

drink lots of water.

You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain (增力n) weight; but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.

Mistakes choosing food

University kitchens serve(供应）many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food，because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.

Eating right

If you，re careful, you don，t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas：

Think more about what you eat.

Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.

Don’t eat desserts full of sugar； have fruit after dinner.

Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.

It，s all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.

Write down the foods you eat.

Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!

Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

26. The “freshman fifteen” is ______.

A. weight that high school students gain

B. weight that first-year university students can gain C. fifteen pounds of food that first-year students eat

C. Getting fast food at night. D. Eating too much chocolate.

29. Which of these ideas would the writer of the reading probably agree with?

A. You’d better not eat unhealthy food.

B. Not eating unhealthy foods is easier with friends’ help.

C. Gaining fifteen pounds can help you study better.

What would you do if you found a snake in your house? Many people might be afraid or try to kill it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA, one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers.

The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes, even poisonous ones. Their newspaper advertisement says, “Snake Catchers： free snake removal(除去）一Please do not kill them — Call us. ”

The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, don’t charge anything for helping people. “We do this as a hobby,” explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers.

Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive. “One man asked us to kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we don’t want to see them killed, ” said Fred.

Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets; some are given to the North Carolina State University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park.

Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. “Actually snakes are very shy and gentle creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake properly!”

According to one happy family, the Snake Catchers are good. One day, the Greenwood family found a snake skin in the kitchen. They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a cupboard. They thought about what to do. Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for the Snake Catchers. He called them.

“The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too,” said Steve Greenwood. “One of them went into the kitchen, found the snake and took it out alive. The Snake Catchers did a very good job.”

Last year, the Snake Catchers removed more than seventy snakes from houses in North Carolina.

30. The Snake Catchers catch snakes because ______.

A. they want to kill the snakes B. they like trying to catch snakes

C. they don’t want people to hurt snakes D. they like eating snakes

31. When a man asked them to kill a python, the Snake Catchers ______.

A.made some boots from the skin

C. gave him some old boots B. were very happy D. did not agree

32. The Snake Catchers set most of the snakes free ______.

A. in a national park B. in a university

C. in a garden D. in their own houses

33. According to Fred, ______. A. snakes are very dangerous B. people should attack snakes

C. snakes are not usually dangerous D. people should run away if they see a snake

In 1901, the citizens of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect everyday items and to seal (封住）them in a special box. The box was marked “To be opened after midnight, December 31st, AD 2000”，and was kept in the Colorado College Library.

One hundred years later, on the appointed (约定）day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening of the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants (后代）of people who had placed things inside the box.

When the box was opened after midnight, the things inside the box were in very good condition. There were newspapers, photos, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and lots of letters, including one written by Theodore Roosevelt, who became the President of the USA later that year. One of Roosevelt’s friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.

Many of the letters were written to their descendants. They describe the hopes that the people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand people. Now nearly half a million people live there.

Colorado College Library has scanned the materials and put them on a website. Cecil Muller, whose grandfather had placed a collection of postcards in the box, said that the time capsule was a great treasure. “This is a wonderful educational resource(资源）. We can learn so much about our

history,”he said. “I never knew my grandfather, but now I feel very close to him. ”

34. According to the passage, “time capsule” means ______. A. a collection of clocks and watches

B. a machine for travelling through time

C. a collection of items for people to look at in the future

D. a collection of unwanted items

35. Many of the letters in the time capsule talked about

A. the history of the town . B. the people who lived in the town

C. the politics of the USA D. people’s hopes for the future

36. Cecil Muller says that the time capsule ______.

A.helps him to get to know his grandfather

TOKYO, JAPAN--What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂）？ Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?

When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器）.Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.

Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾）to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.

This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.

First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须）. They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”

With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don71 always move in the right direction. 37. The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______.

A. they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the future

B. they want to control the movements of the cockroaches

C. they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes

D. they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches

38. What can cockroaches do to help people?

A. They can lift 20 times their own weight.

B. They can help people to carry very small cameras.

C. They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.

D. They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.

39. Scientists control cockroaches’ movements ______.

A.by removing their wings B. by sending signals from the remote control

D. by removing their antennae C. by using very small cameras

40. What problem do the rcscarchcrs meet with?

A. The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move.

B. The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction.

C. The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble.

D. The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.
