I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked. “Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.” I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right. “Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made. “Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.” I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.” “Ooh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another. 1.Why did the author go to mother’s home? A. To see her mother’s quilts. B. To help prepare for a show. C. To get together for the family dinner. D. To discuss her grandmother’s life. 2.The author was surprised because . A. the quilt looked very strange. B. her grandmother liked the quilt. C. the quilt was the best she had seen. D. her mother had made some changes 3.The underlined wood “crooked” in the passage most probably means .

While all my classmates seen to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星), I’d rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People won’t have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won’t be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return? Steve Minear, UK Here are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory…For scientists there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements. Donal Trollop, Canada There are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony(殖民地)on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that tow-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space Flight is in the launches(发射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world. Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space. Paul Davies. USA 1.The main purpose of Steve Minear’s writing is . A. to report his classmates’ discussion B. to invite an answer to his question C. to explain the natural state of Mars D. to show his agreement on going to Mars 2.Which of the following best states Donal Trollop’s idea? A. There is a plan to send humans to Mars. B. There are many reasons for going to Mars. C. Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars. D. It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars. 3.Paul Davies points out that . A. humans need only a one-way ticket to Mars. B. two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soon C. it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to Mars D. it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars 4.What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars? A. Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth. B. Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living. C. Humans can produce everything they need. D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars.

Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again. What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品)as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they cat at the family table. Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具)on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response(反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work. 1.What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Want to buy B. Take the place of. C. Use at the same time D. Seek for information from. 2.In Paragraph 3, the author points out that . A. family members do not cat at the family table B. family member do not greet each other C. young people live happily in their families D. young people seldom talk with their family members 3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Multitasking is harmful to young people’s development. B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people. D. Young people must learn skills for future jobs. 4.The author develops the passage mainly by . A. providing typical examples B. following the natural time order C. comparing opinions from different fields D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world. In rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors. It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety. 1.What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1? A. The exercise of rights is a luxury. B. The practice of choice is difficult. C. The right of choice is given but at a price. D. Choice and right exist at the same time. 2.Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety? A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product. B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion. C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items. D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice. 3.By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that . A. advanced products meet the needs of people B. products of the latest design fold the market C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods need to be replaced often 4.What is this passage mainly about? A. The variety of choices in modern society. B. The opinions on people’s right in different countries C. The Problems about the availability of everyday goods. D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions
