阅读理解。     People often say that money talks.They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how
he or she wants things done.But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.
Anyone in a business will tell you that it is a jungle (丛林) out there.This expression is probably
used because the jungle is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers.Sometimes people in
business feel competing businesses are as dangerous as wild animals.
     People in business have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there.They must not
be led into making bogus investments (投资).The word bogus began to appear in American
newspapers in the 1800s.A newspaper in Boston,Massachusetts said the word came from a
criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese.Borghese wrote checks to people although he did
not have enough money in the bank.After writing the checks,he would flee from the town.So,
people who were paid with his checks received nothing.The newspaper said Americans shortened
and changed his  name Borghese to bogus.
     People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped
off has had something stolen,or at least has been treated very unfairly.A writer for the magazine
American Speech said he first saw the expression used on a sign that a student carried in a
university.The message on the sign was that the student felt ripped off,or cheated.Perhaps the
best way to prevent getting ripped off in business is not to try to get rich quickly.1.This passage is mainly written to________.A.explain several expressions related to money
B.tell us some skills of learning English words
C.tell us the secret of how to do business
D.tell us the power of money2.People compare doing business to being in a jungle because________.A.doing business is as exciting as living in a jungle
B.businessmen are as dangerous as animals in a jungle
C.doing business is as difficult as living in a jungle
D.businessmen are as careful as people living in a jungle3.If we say something is bogus,we probably mean it is not________.A.real  
B.beautiful  
C.good    
D.new4.According to Paragraph 2,where did the word "bogus" come from?A.The name of a very successful businessman.
B.The name of a criminal who cheated others.
C.The name of a famous newspaper in Boston.
D.The name of a check written by a criminal.5.If you have been ripped off,it probably means________.A.you have been treated well
B.you have earned much money
C.you have had something stolen
D.you have left something somewhere

阅读理解。     Dear Daddy,
     You"ve been gone for six years and I"ve had time to think.Now I"m ready to write this letter
to you.
      For a long time after Mom died,I thought I liked her more because I didn"t like your tough
guy attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable.In my 15yearold"s mind,I
thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death.Instead,you were
off playing tennis and working.Later,I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking.
Support is important,but at the end of the day,it is a choice.You were just doing your best.
     What I have learned is that I am much like you.You taught me selfconfidence.I know if I am
prepared to work hard enough for something,I will be successful.This is no small thing.What I"ve
realized since you died is that you were always there for me.You fought to ensure that I got my
place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned.When I got divorced,you came up to see
if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car.
     You taught me not to spend money I don"t have.I"ve always kept to that rule.It has served me
well.We always had a good home to live in,nice vacations,and everything we needed and most of
what we wanted.
     You were not a perfect parent and neither am I.My children are much more thankful than I
ever was.I am thankful that I had you as my dad.I am still Daddy"s girl and I am proud of it.1.We can know the writer"s father________ .A.always put his family in first place

阅读理解。     You"ve attended all the classes,done all of your homework and you think you have grasped
the material.But then the day of the test comes.Suddenly,you feel so nervous that you can"t answer
those questions you knew the answers to just last night.If this sounds like you,you may have a
case of test anxiety (焦虑).
     Test anxiety can be a real problem.When someone is stressed out over a test,he or she
may not be able to do his or her best work.Feeling ready to meet the challenge,though,can keep
test anxiety at a proper level.
     Use a little stress to your advantage.Stress is your body"s warning mechanism (装置)-it"s
a signal that helps you prepare for something important that"s about to happen.Instead of worrying
too much about the test,take  an active way.Let stress remind you to study well before a test.Then
you"ll stop your stress from being out of control.
     Ask for help.Although a little test anxiety can be a good  thing,too much of it is another story
entirely.If sitting for  a test makes your mind go blank and causes you to miss answers that you know,
then your level of test anxiety  probably needs some attention.Your teacher,your parents,or a tutor
can be a useful resource to talk to if you always get too much test anxiety.
     Be prepared.Many students find that their  test anxiety is  reduced when they start to study better.
It works-the better you know the material,the more confidence you"ll have.1.What is this passage mainly about?A.What should be done before a test.
B.How to deal with test anxiety.
C.What causes test anxiety.
D.What test anxiety is.2.The underlined word "grasped" in Paragraph 1 probably means________.A.received    
B.passed
C.understood  
D.finished3.From Paragraphs 2 and 3 we can learn that________.A.it"s hard to keep test anxiety at a proper level
B.test anxiety cannot be avoided
C.only lazy students have test anxiety
D.a little test anxiety might be helpful4.In Paragraph 4,the writer suggests a student who feels too nervous before a test should________.A.find a quiet place to relax for a while
B.talk to someone to get over the anxiety
C.have a good time with some friends  
D.find out if others feel the same5.What can we infer from the passage?A.Test anxiety is a kind of serious illness.
B.Getting prepared can reduce test anxiety.
C.Only teachers can help students get over test anxiety.
D.The more tests a student has,the less anxiety he/she will have.

阅读理解。     Information has always been at the center of human communication.Yon may ask why.Well,
communication between people contains giving and receiving information. The way we give and receive
information today has experienced a revolution in the development of the mass media in the 20th century.
     The first truly mass communication medium was the newspaper. For the first time in history people
could read about events in their country and from around the world every day. However there were two
problems with newspapers of that time. Firstly, newspapers were available only in large cities, for getting
newspapers to the countryside was a difficult and timeconsuming (耗时的) task. Secondly, newspapers
weren"t always reliable, as there was a limited range of opinions.
     Nowadays, we can choose from a wide variety of sources to get information. Television and the
Internet have given us the chance to be informed about everything the minute it happens. Large numbers of radio and TV stations, satellite channels and millions of websites help people keep up with the latest news.People live in history and are part of it.
     The media have come a long way in the last century and there is no doubt that we now live in the
information age. Whatever type of media we choose, it all comes down to the need for information.This
will always be a basic need as long as communication is part of human nature.1. Information is considered the center of human communication because_____.A. human communication means information exchange
B. human communication involves people"s participation
C. information is now experiencing a revolution
