一、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,共40分)

A

Holidays in the United States usually come at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have

all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends—that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel, or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year's Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day, are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.

Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 5 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it's difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.

1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a_____weekend almost once a month.

A. 1-day B.2-day C. 3-day D. 4-day 2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from________. A. Monday to Saturday B. Tuesday to Sunday C. Thursday to Friday D. Tuesday to Friday

Here are two cars that may some day take the place of today’s big automobiles(汽车).If everyone drives such a car in the future there will be less pollution in the air.There will also be more parking(停放车辆)space in cities,and streets will be less crowded.Three such cars fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.

The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive.Driving will be safer,too,as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers per hour.

The cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city but they will not be useful for long trips. If the car is powered by electricity,it will have two batteries(电池)一one battery for the motor and the other one for the horn(喇叭),the signals(信号灯),etc.Little cars which are powered by gasoline(汽 油)will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gasoline.

If big cars are still used along with the small ones,two sets of roads will be needed in the future.Some roads will be used for the big,fast cars and other roads will be needed for the smaller,slower ones.

6.What is the advantage of the small cars?

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along. 11.A good title for this reading passage is______. A. Popeye the Sailor

B. The Truth About Spinach D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong

C.A Mistake with Numbers

12. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor? A. They thought spinach made them strong. B. They thought Popeye was funny. C. Spinach had a lot of iron. D. People liked folic acid.

13. A research group told people that spinach______. A. made Popeye strong

3

B. was a green vegetable

C. had less iron than other green vegetables D. had more iron than other green vegetables

14.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______. A. iron

B. folic acid

C. spinach

D. exercise

15.Folic acid is ______. A. something in food C. dangerous

B. a vegetable

D. a certain kind of spinach

第二节、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? __16__Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist (悲观的人).At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference (偏爱), as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.__17__If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

__18__ A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one,and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.__19__A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply (急剧地).Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.__20__ It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A. On the other hand, black is depressing.

B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up-we are born with our preference.

C.The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.

D.If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观的人), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

E.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. F.Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours. G.Colours do influence our moods(情绪)-there is no doubt about it.

Recently I have learned from the Internet that traffic accidents happened frequently, which mainly resulted from drunk driving.

Many drivers think they have the luck to avoid accidents. As a matter of fact, no one can afford to risk their lives driving after drinking. Drunk driving will not only threaten the lives of the drivers as well as other people, but also make their family suffer from anxiety caused by it. In addition, drunk driving is against the law and more and more people are punished for it.

In a word, for the sake of the safety of all people and the happiness of your family, please don’t drive after drinking. Li Hua
