Colors do influence our moods (情绪). 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. On the other hand, black is depressing(令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area -- until it was repainted green.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

A.yellow, orange, or red | B.yellow, black, or red |

A.tired | B.bored | C.worried | D.relaxed |

I grew up in a small town called Antonito Co. It is surrounded by mountains. So camping is a big source of happiness in the valley. There are so many beautiful places to hike.
The town itself is very small. It is said that if you blink when you’re going through it, you’ll miss it. This has some truth in it considering the size of the town. We have one grocery store, a tiny post office, and a tiny bank. There are also a few gas stations, bars, some excellent restaurants, a small hospital and of course several schools. However, for clothing and shoes, you have to drive thirty miles to Alamosa to shop there.
Everyone in the town is nice and we all know each other. The crime rate is zero unless you count some weekend fights that break out because some people drink too much. The classes in school are small, so you get a lot of attention from the teacher.
You’re probably wondering why I don’t live there. Well, I can’t get a job there. A lot of the businesses are family-owned. And they never fire their employees. So the employees work there usually until they retire. Most people have to go to other places to get a job .
小题1:What is this passage mainly about?
A.An introduction to the writer’s hometown. |
B.A travel guide of the writer’s hometown . |
C.The history of the writer’s hometown . |
D.The scenery of the writer’s hometown . |
A.beautiful | B.small | C.exciting | D.faraway |
a bank b. a post office c. some gas stations and bars d. a clothing store
e. a shoe shop f. some restaurants and a hospital
A.abce | B.bdef | C.abcf | D.cdef |
A.The classes are usually very short . |
B.Students usually don’t get much attention . |
C.One teacher has to teach many classes |
D.Each class has just a small number of students . |
A.not many job opportunities are provided |
B.employees don’t make much money |
C.most people live a very hard life |
D.only the old still live there |
The price of coffee beans hits a 12 – year high today. I thought there might
be some kind of coffee – market story, like we saw with cocoa earlier this summer.
But the main driver of coffee prices right now is simpler: Colombia has had
a few years of weak coffee harvests because of too much rain, which has reduced
the global supply. And coffee drinkers keep buying coffee, even as prices rise, in
other words, demand is unchanged.
The higher price of beans – up about 40 percent since March – means higher prices for the coffee you buy by the pound. But it probably won’t affect the coffee you buy by the cup.
Smuckers, which sells Folgers and Millstone coffees, recently said it was raising its prices because of the higher cost of beans. Starbucks, however, said it would absorb the higher cost of beans without raising prices.
“You see it much more in the grocery store because the raw materials are a big factor of cost,” Jose Sette of the International Coffee Organization told me. “In a coffee shop, your big expenses are rent and labor.”
While real – world supply and demand is the big driver of the price of beans, there may be some speculative action in coffee business in the future.
But futures (期货) of the high – grade Arabica beans are traded in the US, where regulations prevent speculators (投机商) from controlling the market, hoping such things won’t happen just as in London summer market. That suggests that prices should fall when supply improves – which may happen next year.
Some experts say that farmers in third world countries won’t actually benefit from higher prices in this case. When the price difference is due to supply and demand, the profit of the seller usually doesn’t go up.
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Why coffee is getting more expensive? |
B.How farmer benefits from the high price? |
C.Whether the US will control the coffee market? |
D.What has caused the reduction of coffee? |
A.Colombia is the coffee trading center of the world |
B.Colombia coffee output contains a final share of the world |
C.People need more and more coffee |
D.Coffee sales will be getting less and less |
A.the US made more rules about coffee prices |
B.speculators once held the coffee bean market in London |
C.coffee bean trading was seriously disorganized |
D.coffee bean prices were very low in the US |
A.The price difference determines the profit of the seller. |
B.Smuckers is a famous coffee manufacturer. |
C.Real – world supply and demand decides the prices. |
D.Coffee prices will become much higher next year. |
You probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can"t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldn"t turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don"t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don"t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn"t make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it"s okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone
It"s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
小题1:The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________."
A.the type of music |
B.the length of a song |
C.the amount of a sound |
D.the color of an MP3 player |
A.may annoy others |
B.can hurt our ears |
C.is bad for MP3 players |
D.will make us tired |
A.the theatre won"t allow it |
B.the actors will get angry |
C.others won"t hear the play well |
D.we may miss part of the play |
A.show others the way |
B.enjoy a movie at the cinema |
C.watch a sporting event |
D.answer the telephone at museums |
A.MP3 manners |
B.music lovers |
C.music players |
D.MP3 earphones |
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
小题1:What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?
A.Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever. |
B.You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents. |
C.The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed. |
D.There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia. |
A.Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners. |
B.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports. |
C.The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe. |
D.The pace of life is different in the city and in the country. |
A.Community | B.racism | C.blend of Nations | D.Southeast Asia |
A.there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern cities |
B.Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia |
C.immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems |
D.“riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural communities |
A.society | B.economy | C.racial problems | D.history |
