阅读理解。 Do you know Roma people? They were called Gypsies（吉普赛人）by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa). About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland. Today, the Roma are now living all over the world. They have kept their language and many customs. For example, it’s important for Roma to marry other Roma. It’s also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14. Romany is the language of the Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part. Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz. Roma don’t usually assimilate（同化） into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them-treasures（财富） from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves（奴隶）, and have been forced to change their names. But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “There is a will within us to continue to live as a people,” says George Kaslov, whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago. “All the other ethnic（种族） groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma, We hold out.” 1.What does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean? A. People who move from place to place. B. People who come from Roma. C. People who have their own homeland. 2.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. George Kaslov has a strong will to live on. B. The Roma still keep their customs and language. C. The Roma are finding ways to keep the gold of their own. 3.What can we infer（推断） about the Roma according to the passage? A. Most of the Roma live in very unusual houses. B. Most Roma get married either when they are very young or very old. C. Their culture is very different from other European cultures. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell readers about an interesting culture. B. To tell us why the Roma need our help. C. To show us how all people are similar. 5.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Brave Roma Travelers B. Famous Roma Music. C. The Roma: Past and Present
阅读理解。 North China has suffered serious smog（雾霾）recently, especially in big cities like Beijing. What are the reasons for the problem? One of the reasons is the car emission(汽车尾气排放). With more and more cars on the road, there’s no doubt that the climate（气候）is becoming more and more terrible. As we know, more and more people like driving in China. On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off(炫耀). What’s more, years of research has show that one of other reasons for the traffic problem is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. Most of them only care about the speed rules. Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the climate is very serious and set up a much more perfect traffic control system to solve the traffic pressure. 1.Where has suffered serious smog these days in China? A. in the north of China B. in the south of China C. in the northeast of China 2.Why is traffic jam getting more and more serious? A. Because there are not enough ways of transportation. B.

The reason for the traffic jam is that people have too much work. B. Some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they feel comfortable. C. The reason for the traffic jam is that some people want to show off. 4.What should the governments do to make the traffic better? A. They should educate those people who are young. B. They should set up a much more perfect traffic system. C. They shouldn’t allow people to buy so many cars. 5.What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Reasons why people want to buy cars. B.

阅读表达。 We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it. What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming. What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And some said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly! Conclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most stude nts hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true. 1.What is the most popular choice of job. ? ______________________________ 2.Why would some students like to start work as soon as possible? ___________________________________________________ 3.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. ________________________________________ 4.Are teenagers hopes different or similar, according to the survey? _____________________________________________________ 5.What’s the title of the passage? ____________________________________________________

阅读理解。 Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can’t imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet. Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones. And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet. 1.In the writer’s opinion, . A. more schools should be built B. schools are necessary C. schools are not necessary D. there should be fewer schools 2.What does “a new kind of school” mean? A. A newly built school. B. There are many new students in the school. C. There are many new teachers in the school. D. A school, which is linked to Internet. 3.On the Internet, you .

The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers. B. If you are not a student, you cannot view the new technology on the Internet. C. On the Internet, you can visit another city’s library as easily as the local people. D. Technology will change our way of learning. 5.What is the best title for this passage? A. Internet B. School C. New Technology D. will Technology Take the Place of Schools?
阅读理解。 Though chopsticks are used in many Asian countries, they have their beginning in China. Chinese history says that the Chinese had chopsticks as far as the Xia Dynasty(朝代)(about 4, 00 years ago). In the Spring and Autumn Period(时期) copper and iron chopsticks appeared. With the Han Dynasty lacquered(上漆) chopsticks came, followed by gold and silver chopsticks still later. Today we have chopsticks made of plastics. The most expensive are made of part of tusks of elephants and hard green stone. Chopsticks tell Chinese tradition in their way. In ancient (古代的) times the rich used hard green stone or gold chop-sticks to show their wealth(富有). In history many kings used silver chopsticks to take their food to see if it was poisonous(有毒的). It was said that if it was, the silver chopsticks would turn colour. Chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when she marries to show that they should have a son very soon, for “Chopsticks” in Chinese is pronounced like “quick a son”! Tianzhu chopsticks from Hangzhou, wooden chopsticks from Shanyang of Shanxi Province, and Beijing’s chopsticks are well-known. Many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside(一边) their knives and forks in favour(爱好) of chopsticks in China. Chopsticks appeared in the old Chinese story: an old man teaches his sons a lesson by showing how he could easily break a single chopstick but not a number of them.
