Here’s some advice for you. Listen to the radio in English. If there are no English radio stations where you live, listen to one on the Internet. Watch TV and movies in English. If you have English channels on your TV, watch them. If there are no English channels, you can buy some DVDs of English movies. Speak English to your friends. You can find a friend who is good at English and speak English with him as much as possible. You’d better find friends whose native language is English. Ask your friend to correct you when needed. Study or travel to an English-speaking country. Of course, the best way to improve your English is to live in English environments. You’ll find yourself surrounded (围绕) with the language everywhere. It can be a more difficult and expensive choice, but you may find it to be a very valuable and helpful experience. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 17. To improve your English, what’s the most important thing? A. Listen to the radio B. Make English all around you. C. Watch TV and movies. 18. If there are no English radio stations where you live, you can ________. A. buy a new radio B. buy some DVDs C. listen to one on the Internet 19. From this passage, we mainly know ________. A. how to improve your English B. the best time to listen to the radio in English C. make friends with foreigners B Do you like wearing jeans? But do you know who invented them and why they are popular? Now I’ll tell you something about them. There was a man named Levi Strauss. He invented jeans. He was born in Germany in 1829, but he went to the USA in 1847. At first he lived in New York, but in 1853 he moved to San Francisco to work with his brother. They worked in a shop selling clothes to men who were looking for gold during the California Gold Rush. The men were working very hard in difficult conditions, and they needed very strong trousers. Strauss was the first man to begin producing special, strong trousers for working men. He made these trousers from a special material called “denim (蓝粗棉布)” — a kind of material that probably came from a town called Nimes in France. Many people now think the English word “denim” comes from the French words “de Nimes”, which means “from Nimes”. Later, in the 1960s, Strauss added special metal buttons (纽扣) to the trousers to make them even better and they quickly became very popular. Strauss and his brother made a lot of money. In the early part of the 20th century, only working men wore denim trousers in workplaces like factories. But after the Second World War, teenage boys and young men at college started wearing them as daily clothes outside the workplace and jeans became quite popular. At that time, jeans were usually flared (喇叭形的), but today, there are many different styles of jeans, for example, straight-leg jeans, pencil-leg jeans, baggy jeans-almost any style you can imagine. Today, millions of people wear jeans to go to work in offices, as well as to go out. Jeans are as popular today as they ever were, but there is one thing that no one is really sure about-why are they called “jeans”? Do you know why? 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 20. Strauss went to San Francisco ________. A. at the age of 18 B. at the age of 24 C. to look for gold 21. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A metal buttons B. denim trousers C. two French words 22. Which question is answered in Paragraph 3? A Why are jeans so popular for workers? B. What does the word “jeans” mean? C. Where does the word “denim” come from? 23. What’s the passage mainly about? A. A man’s big dream. B. The popular denim. C. The history of jeans. C Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place, or even when we are just trying to find a strange place. Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier. Use greetings (问候) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, you’d better begin by saying hello first. And some words like “may” “can” and “could” will help you express yourself better. Build your words. You should know the basic words when asking for directions. It may be useful for you to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction. Get to know the transportation system. Sometimes, you may find that you are still far from the place you want to visit. Which kind of public transportation should you choose? You might ask like this, “Is it far?” “Do I need to take the bus or the subway there?” Don’t be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease (减少) search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. And if you pay attention to your place, you may find that there are many symbols here. Don’t be too shy to ask. Learn to relax if you get lost somewhere. Every person may do that from time to time, especially when visiting a new city. But always make sure you can ask others for help. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 24. What’s the first thing to do when we arrive in a new place? A. Asking for directions. B. Using greetings and polite expressions. C. Knowing the transportation system. 25. How many pieces of advice to ask for directions are mentioned in this passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. 26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. It’s necessary to start a conversation with a greeting. B. It’s not useful to remember some famous places. C. Every city has its own symbols. 27. What’s the best title for this passage? A. How to visit a new place. B. How to build your words. C. How to ask for directions.

They were invented by the Japanese scientists. The electric chopsticks can help people take in less salt by adding the salty taste to food, so people can still enjoy delicious food. How can the chopsticks work? Wiring (电线) connects the chopsticks to a small computer on your hand. Weak electricity carries sodium ions (钠离子) from food through the chopsticks to your mouth. They’ll create a sense of saltiness in your mouth. As a result, the salty taste increases by 1.5 times. The traditional diet in Japan is salty. A Japanese adult usually eats about 10 grams of salt each day. That is twice the amount (数量) one should take in according to the World Health Organization. More salt intake will lead to high blood pressure (血压), strokes (中风) and some other diseases. “To avoid suffering from (遭受) these diseases, we need to eat less salt,” the scientists say. “If Japanese people try to reduce salt intake in the usual ways, they will need to cut many of their favorite foods from their diet, or they will have to eat tasteless food.” The scientists are making their chopsticks better and hope to have them ready to sell as early as next year. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 51. Who invented the electric chopsticks? ______________________________________________________________ 52 How do the electric chopsticks help people take in less salt? ______________________________________________________________ 53. According to the World Health Organization, how much salt should a person take in every day? ______________________________________________________________ 54. To avoid some diseases like high blood pressure and strokes, what should we do? ______________________________________________________________ 55. Can people buy the electric chopsticks now? ______________________________________________________________ 五、补全对话（共4小题，计8分） 根据对话内容，在空白处填入适当的句子，使对话意思完整。 Linda: Hi, Tina. Your scarf looks so beautiful!

Comparing with the past, I have changed in appearance, personality, hobbies, and lifestyle. The most important change is my personality. I used to be very shy and introverted. I remember when I was in Grade Seven, I was afraid to speak in front of the class. One day, our teacher asked me to give a presentation. I was so nervous that I almost cried. However, with the encouragement of my teacher and classmates, I managed to finish it. Since then, I started to gain confidence. I joined the school’s debate team and participated in various activities. Gradually, I became more outgoing and confident. Now, I am not afraid to express myself in public. This change has made my life more colorful and meaningful. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
