阅读理解。     The year is 2094.  It has been announced that a comet(彗星) is heading towards the Earth.  Most of
it will miss our planet,but two pieces will probably hit the southem half of the Earth.
     On 17 July,a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth"s atmosphere with a massive explosion.
About half of the piece is destroyed,but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed
of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed.  Huge waves are created and spread
outwards from the hole.  The wall of water,a kilometer high,rushes towards southem Africa at 800
kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
     Before the waves reach South America,the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains.  The shock waves move north into
California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of Los Angeles,San Francisco and Tokyo are
completely destroyed by earthquakes.  Millions of people in the southem half of the earth are already
dead,but the north won"t escape for long.  Because of the explosions,the sun is hidden by clouds of dust,
temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined.  The sun won"t be seen again for
many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food.  A year later,no more than 10 million people
remain alive.
     Could it really happen? In fact,it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The
dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years.  Then 65 million years ago they suddenly
disappeared.  Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space.  The dinosaurs
couldn"t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?1. What is mainly described in the passage?A.  A historic discovery.
B.  An event of imagination.
C. A research on space.
D. A scientific adventure.2. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic,it causes_________.A. an earthquake
B. damages to cities
C. an Earth explosion
D. huge waves3.  Why can"t the northern half of the earth escape for long?    A.  Because the land is covered with water.
B.  Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.
C.  Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.
D. Because wars break out among countries.4. By giving the example of dinosaurs,the author tries to prove_____.A. animals could not live in the cold climate
B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
C.  the human beings will die out in 2094
D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

举一反三

阅读理解。      When you cross over the border from England into Wales you don"t have to show your passport but
you do notice a difference immediately.  All the road markings and signs are shown in two
languages-English and Welsh. Not all visitors to Britain know that other languages are spoken here.
There"s the Gaelic language in Scotland and a few people speak Comish in the southwest of England,but
the most widely spoken language in the UK apart from English is Welsh.
      Perhaps the first Welsh word you"ll see on the road into Wales is ARAF. There"s a helpful English
translation next to it-SLOW.  As you can see,Welsh looks quite different to English.  It sounds very
different too.  If you think English
pronunciation is difficult,try this: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogery-chwymdrobwllantysiliogogogoch.
       That"s the name of a small town in Wales and,in English,it means "The church of Saint Mary in the
hollow of the white hazel tree near the rapid whirlpool and the church of Saint Tysilio near a red cave".
      Welsh looks and sounds so different from English because it"s a Celtic language. Celtic cultures still
exist around the edges of the UK-in Wales,Scotland and Northem Ireland and also in parts of France.
  For hundreds of years,almost everyone in Wales spoke Welsh but nowadays there are only about
500,000 Welsh speakers-about 20% of the population.
       So is Welsh dying out? Not at all.  Nowadays all school children in Wales study Welsh and many
choose to go to an all Welsh-speaking school. You can get public information in Welsh,speak Welsh in
court or take a course at university in Welsh.  People surf the Net in Welsh,keep up with friends on
Facebook and write blogs in Welsh.
         And by the way," Croeso i Cymru ! "  means "Welcome to Wales"-I hope you"ll be able to visit
one day.1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?   A. Only English and Welsh are spoken in Britain.
B. Welsh has its roots in the same culture as English.
C. Welsh is the second most widely spoken language in the UK.
D.  All visitors know other languages are also spoken in Britain.2. The writer gives the name of a small town in order to _____. A. show that the small town"s name is very strange
B. show that learning Welsh is great fun
C. tell us that Welsh is widely used in Wales
D. tell us that Welsh is difficult to pronounce3. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _____. A. Welsh still plays an active part in Wales in daily life
B. most British children go to an all-Welsh school nowadays
C. Welsh is mostly used in court in the UK
D. Welsh is likely to disappear soon

  Section One
         The city is an accumulation of human civilization.  Just as the American social philosopher Lewis
Mumford put it,it is a special system which,fine and compact,has been designed to preserve the fruits of
human civilization. Many western languages have developed their versions of the term "civilization" from
the same Latin word "civitas" (meaning "city"),and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a
significant role in the perfection of order in human society.
      Section Two
      The emblem(会徽) ,showing the image of three people-you, me, him/her holding hands together,
symbolizes the big family of mankind.Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character" (meaning the world),
the design conveys the organizers" wish to host an Expo which is on a global scale and which shows the
various urban cultures of the world.
      Section Three
      Created from the inspiration of Chinese character ",the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells
the world the eternal core(永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will always be the human.
The mascot "Haibao" will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China
"Better City, Better Life".
      The basic structure of the Chinese character " in which each stroke supports each other also shows
the concept that the beautiful life should depend on mutual help (互相帮助). If humans are willing to
support one another,the harmony among human,nature,and society will be available. Such an urban life
will be nice.
       Haibao"s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China"World Expo 2010 Shanghai

阅读理解。     Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in
American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A
woman"s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑)
across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even
improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in
big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don"t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
     Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express
their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.
Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public
and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with
friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
     It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural
differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing
emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of
"reading" the other person incorrectly.1. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.
B. Politeness.
C. Joy.
D. Thankfulness.2. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangers
B. be used to hide true feelings
C. be used in the wrong places
D. show personal habits3. What should we do before attempting to "read" people?A. Learn about their relations with others.
B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C. Find out about their past experience.
D. Figure out what they will do next.4. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural Differences
B. Smiles and Relationship
C. Facial Expressiveness
D. Habits and Emotions

"Have a nice day!" may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless. When my friend Maxie says "Have a nice day" with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well. "Have a nice day. Next!" This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else"s is the management"s attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don"t know what to say "oh, you may have a tooth out? I"m terribly sorry, but have a nice day." The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says "Have a nice day" to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don"t know has tried to be nice to you. Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it"s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don"t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1. How does the author understand Maxie"s words?
A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day. C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy. D. Maxie really worries about the author"s security.
2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The salesgirl is rude. B. The salesgirl is bored. C. The salesgirl cares about me. D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine
3. By saying "Have a nice day," a stranger may _____.
A. try to be polite to you B. express respect to you C. give his blessing to you D. share his pleasure with you
4. According to the last paragraph, people say "Have a nice day"_______.
A. sincerely B. as thanks C. as a habit D. encouragingly
5. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day-a Social Custom. B. Have a Nice Day-a Pleasant Gesture. C. Have a Nice Day-a Heart-warming Greeting. D. Have a Nice Day-a Polite Ending of a Conversation.
