阅读理解。    During the American War of Independence, women played an active part in fighting in three ways. Firstly,
some women worked as nurses in the field hospitals, taking care of wounded soldiers; some worked as cooks
in the army; many women acted as water carriers. When necessary, all these women, who had many chances
to see how the men fired guns, could take the place of the wounded men. The second way that women served
in the Army was to fight side by side with their men comrades. Although women were not supposed to fight as
soldiers in battles, when the Army was badly short of soldiers and when women were really good soldiers, who
would be against women fighting in battles? Thirdly, from city streets to country villages, many able women
were in charge of the work to supply food, clothing and medicine for the Army, and when the situation was
dangerous, they called on all the women to take up arms to defend their own homes. 1. What is probably the main reason that women were permitted to fight in the war? [     ]

阅读理解。     When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from
China.
     When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and
jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. 
     Still, her answer surprised me: "Green tea."
     As long as I can remember she didn"t even drink Indian tea. 
     I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her
brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all
illnesses.
     At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange
country. 
     How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a "China Market".
And everyone is talking about China. The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to
see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign
investment (投资) and such a step would "work wonders as it did for China". 
     But it"s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone
to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence
in China. 
     No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about
US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments. No wonder,
my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印) century as the two
countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is
my mother drinking Chinese tea. 1. The reason why the writer"s mother asked for Chinese green tea is that _____.[     ]
A. she had a son working in China
B. she believed it had a curing effect
C. she enjoyed Chinese products
D. she was tired of Indian tea 2. The underlined part "it"s a two-way street" in Paragraph 8 probably means _____. [     ]
A. The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both
B. China and India have different traffic rules
C. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China
D. Chinese produces are popular in both China and India 3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.[     ]
A. the author was concerned for his mother"s health
B. the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea
C. the author was surprised at China"s recent development
D. the author was curious about the growth of India"s IT industry

阅读理解。     As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to
grow. "We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn"t have enough money to
buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many
young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.
The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make
repairs around the house.
    Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making
factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I"ve finished a
car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."
    John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save
money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to
DIY classes. And for those who don"t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can
do things yourself. 1. We can learn from the text that many newly married people _____. [     ]
