阅读理解。     A Japanese student called Mami told me about her ownexperiences in Britain. She spent 10 months in
the UK last year, studying English at a language school. She really enjoyed her first two weeks in the UK.But soon she started to miss things of her own country. She found it hard to make friends,and got annoyed(恼火的) about local people"s behaviour. Mami said," After a few weeks I started to cry a lot. I felt
homesick. I thought the weather was dark and too changeable, and that affected my mood as well."
     To comfort herself Mami began to spend many hours on the Internet chatting with her friends back
home. She spent a couple of weeks in the countryside in Kent. She went to a social club for British people who were interested in Japan and started to make some friends there. In addition, she took a short course
in calligraphy (书法) to get an opportunity of mixing with local people. A few months later, Mami"s
impression of the UK had greatly changed. She found that most of the British were friendly, witty and fun.
     However, once Mami was back in Japan, she experienced "culture shock" again. She said," I missed the friends I had made in England. My way of thinking had changed. Sometimes I was annoyed by the views of people in my country-for example, about the value of money and time. I thought people around me lived in such a small world." Mami noticed some changes in her behaviour:" I kept the habit of always carrying
an umbrella with me, even on a fine day-my friends thought I was crazy!"1. How did Mami feel at the beginning of her stay in Britain?A. Shocked.
B. Annoyed.
C. Pleased.
D. Homesick.2. The second paragraph tells us _____.A. how Mami overcame culture shock in Britain
B. how Mami felt as soon as she arrived in Britain
C. what Mami learned in her language school
D. what Mami liked and disliked about Britain3. The reason why Mami had the habit of carrying an umbrella was that _____.A. she liked umbrellas very much
B. the umbrella reminded her of her life in the UK
C. she had got used to the changeable weather in Britain
D. it often rained in Japan those days4. Why did Mami experience culture shock in Japan?A. She didn"t like Japanese culture any more.
B. The world in Japan was too small for her.
C. The Japanese behaviour had changed a lot.
D. She had got used to British culture and life.5. The best title for the passage would be "_____ ".A. Why not make friends with the British
B. Cultural differences between Britain and Japan
C. Culture shock experienced by a Japanese student
D. How to prepare for culture shock

阅读理解。                                           "I Went Skydiving at 84!"
     As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was
almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001,when my husband
arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be
very dull. Around that time,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement
community(社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an
experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
     In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Bush Sr. did it at age 80.
Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But
then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just
couldn"t believe it.Inspired by this,I decided to realize my dream,even though some of my family
members and my doctor were against it.
     On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I
would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience.
The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn"t frightened-I was really just looking
forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out
of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a
second I thought, "What have I gotten myself into?" But then everything got calmer. We were in a
free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward
for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I
have ever felt-much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.
     Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at
me and realize that you don"t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there"s something you want to experience, look into it. If it"s something that is possible, make it happen.1. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane.
B. She entered a competition.
C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.
D. She moved into a retirement community.2. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to________.A. build up her own reputation
B. show her admiration for him
C. compare their health condition
D. make her argument persuasive3. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?

A. Excited.
B. Scared.
C. Nervous.
D. Regretful.

4. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A．The beautiful clouds.
B. The wonderful view.
C. The company of Jay.
D. The oneminute free fall.

阅读理解    Jackie Heinricher"s love affair with bamboo started in her backyard. "As a child, I remember playing
among the golden bamboo my dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded
really musical."
     A fisheries biologist, Heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle, where she lived with her husband, Guy Thornburgh, but she found it too competitive. Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: she"d plant 20 bamboo forests on their sevenacre farm.
     Heinricher started BooShoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be
known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture,
floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a
group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.
     First she had to find a way to massproduce the plants-a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.
     Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her. "People kept telling us we"d
never figure it out," says Heinricher. "Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were
doing, though, so I just kept going."
     She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United
Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable,as many as half of the world"s species are threatened with dying out. Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon
emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that"s just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments-a way to grow millions of plants. By placing
cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.
     Not long after it, Burr"s lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn"t prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.
     Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimilliondollar company, working on species from all over
the world and selling them to wholesalers. "If you want to farm bamboo, it"s hard to do without the young
plants, and that"s what we have," she says proudly.1. What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?A. They didn"t have enough young bamboo.
B. They were short of money and experience.
C. They didn"t have a big enough farm to do it.
D. They were not understood by other people.2. What does Heinricher think of bamboo?A. Fragile and affordable.
B. Productive and flexible.
C. Useful and earthfriendly.
D. Strong and profitable.3. The underlined word "renewable" in Paragraph 6 probably means "________"．A. able to be replaced naturally
B. able to be raised difficultly
C. able to be shaped easily
D. able to be recycled conveniently4. What do you learn from the passage?A. Heinricher"s love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.
B. Heinricher"s determination helped her to succeed in her work.
C. Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.
D. Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.
