阅读理解。     If you don"t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents
secret according to a British market research document released last week.
     Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the
owners" lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation"s people by fridge contents.
     They say those people can be divided into five categories: "nutrition nerds", "food faddies", "martyr
mums", "fast food fanatics" and "restaurant regulars".
     "Nutrition nerds" care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit,
vegetables and healthy meat. People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or
accountancy. The vast majority are single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
     A fridge full of vitamins-enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to
eat the foods they buy. Known as the "food faddies", they just want to be seen as buying the latest important
things.
     A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the "martyr mum". Her fridge tends to
be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty
balancing family and work life.
     "Fast food fanatics" always buy mineral water for soda pop (汽水); the nearest they will get to fresh
fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is
not into long term planning.
     Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water
implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty
because this person regularly eats in restaurants. 1. We can know from the first two paragraphs that _____. A. some researchers are fond of staring at other people"s fridges
B. people don"t want others to know about their secrets
C. the food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality
D. there are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people 2. According to the passage, people who belong to "food faddies" _____. A. don"t care much about money when buying things
B. will try their best to stay healthy
C. often stay up late to finish their job
D. prefer to ask others about what to do next 3. What will those who often dine out put in the fridge? A. All kinds of food they like.
B. Food rich in vitamins.
C. Fruit, vegetables and meat.
D. Only something to drink. 4. What might be the most suitable title for the text? A. Keep your fridge a secret.

阅读理解。     Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected
the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was
special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a
gift-the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" The book-a bestseller in the US-is being used by men and women
to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and
General Motors, ask their employees to read it to encourage them to be active towards changes. Cheese is
something related to everyone"s livelihood-our jobs, the Industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
With China"s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face more changes and challenges. So what
should we do once this "cheese" on which we are so dependent is moved? "Whatever challenges and
changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely", Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the
book. Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. "We should change our way of thinking.
The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them
and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive." "With hard work
and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese." Zhang smiled confidently. 1. The whole passage is about _______.A. people"s opinions about a bestseller of the US

in order to _______.A. be more competitive with foreign firms
B. find an excuse for their job cuts
C. let the workers make a living on their own
D. encourage the fired workers 3. The word "cheese" in the passage can refer to _______. A. something we depend on for a living
B. a most important kind of food
C. change or challenge
D. way of life 4. From what Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that _______. A. they have different opinions on changes and challenges

阅读理解。     Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America
"home", but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the
names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that
these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their
original countries and have become "American" is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more
often a kind of "side-by-side" living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many
of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives-such
as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially
and at home. This living "side-by-side" has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause
disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However,
there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands.
There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone
can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups,
or newspapers. 1. More than 215 million people call America "home" because_______.A. they have their houses
B. they settle there now
C. they want to make their home there
D. they like that land very much2. "Side-by-side" living style means _______. A. to make friends with native people
B. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
C. the groups of people who live nearby
D. that they get closer to American society 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. Americans from different lands always stick to their own customs and habits.
B. "Side-by-side" living style is not suitable.
C. Americans from different lands face the society they are not familiar with.
D. The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful. 4. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Advantages and Disadvantages.
B. Different Customs and Habits.
C. Home for the People.
D."Side-by-side" Living Style in America.

阅读理解。     What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. What do you call someone who
speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.
     To people in many countries, being bilingual or even trilingual is a way of life. But since the mother
tongue of most Americans is English-a language widely spoken around the world-they often don"t feel the
need to learn a foreign language. Moreover, people who live in the heartland of America have little contact
with other linguistic groups, making foreign language skills irrelevant.
     Actually, though, this"land of immigrants" has always had people of many different nationalities and
languages. The 1990 census indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English at home. Yet
only 3% reported that they spoke English "not well" or "not at all". That means that slightly more than one
out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students and
even some elementary school students are required to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum.
In addition to old standbys like Spanish, German and French, more and more students are opting (选择)for
Eastern European and Asian languages. Of course, not all students keep up their foreign language abilities.
As the old saying goes, "If you don"t use it, you lose it," But still, a growing number of Americans are coming
to appreciate the benefits of bein  multilingual. 1. What can we learn from this passage?A. Many Americans don"t speak English at home.
B. All Americans speak English very well.
C. Most Americans can only speak one language.
D. In America most students only study one language.2. Why do most Americans consider foreign languages are not important? A. Because they think foreign languages are hard to learn.
B. Because English, their mother tongue, is a language widely spoken around the world.
C. Because they don"t like foreign languages at all.
D. Because they have poor abilities to learn foreign languages.3. What does the underlined word "multilingual"mean? A. Bilingual.
B. Trilingual.
C. Language skill.
D. Speaking many languages. 4. What is happening to Americans now according to this passage? A. More and more Americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of being multilingual.
B. Most Americans are studying foreign languages.
C. Most students in America are studying foreign languages.
