In Britain，red is used as a sign of danger.Road signs and warning labels（标签）are often in red.In eastern cultures，the color red does not mean you have to be careful. In Egypt，yellow is the color linked to death.In Britain and other western cultures，death and funerals（葬礼） are usually linked to the color black，but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals. Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting.Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality. In a word，colors have different meanings in different cultures.We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation. （1）In which country does the color yellow mean death？ 　 　 A.Britain.

The US has a lot of guns—120.5 guns for every 100 Americans，according to a 2017 survey（调查）.In other words，there are more guns than people in the US.This makes it easier for people to get guns. Although US federal law says certain people can't buy guns，it's still fairly easy for Americans to buy them anyway，said Vox.A big part of this is loopholes（漏洞）in gun sales.In the US，when you buy a gun from a licensed（有经营许可的） shop or at a gun show，they have to check your background.But if you buy from a private seller，they don't have to do that.Even in those cases where a background check is made，it can only take up to three days at most.If the seller does not receive a clear answer within three days，the seller can still sell the gun，reported CGTN. The US also has a unique gun culture，influenced by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution（宪法第二修正案）.Some people believe it gives them special rights （权利），making them refuse to give up their guns for the greater good. Around 60 percent of Americans think gun violence is a big problem and want stricter gun laws.But keeping gun violence under control in the US is not easy.Because it's unclear if US lawmakers，who listen to powerful gun groups like the National Rifle Association or Gun Owners of America，will make changes. （1）What are the main reasons for increasing gun violence in the US？ 　 　 a.the high ownership of guns b.the weak laws on buying guns c.the light punishment on gun violence d.the right to have guns in the minds of Americans A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd （2）Those who are not allowed to have guns 　 　. A．won't have any chance to buy guns B．can buy guns with a special license C．can buy guns from private sellers D．can buy guns by showing their background （3）In the writer's opinion，to keep gun violence under control in the US is 　 　. A．meaningless B．costly C．difficult D．possible （4）What's the structure of the passage？ 　 　 A． B． C． D． 4．I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly.When I talk about the person who influenced me most，I must think of my best friend quickly. When I was in my university，one of my classmates sat beside me.His name is Wang Tao.He is my unforgettable friend in my life.He is good at study and handsome.Everyone knows that he is a genius （天才） of my university. He is kind hearted and is always ready to help others.But he doesn't like others to praise him，because he think what he did is common.There is an old saying：A friend in need is a friend indeed.Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life. I remembered that my math was mediocre at that time，but he was excellent in solving math questions.He often received high scores.Of course，I wished I could reach at his level.Since we talked all day long，he was patient and polite to answer my math questions.Slowly，I made great progress in math.I passed the exam finally.Then we became friends naturally.And now，I still remember his strong will to study. We know that we live in a society，so we need a lot of friends.There are two kinds of friends，good and bad，bad friend may make our life failed，while good ones make our life successful.To me，Wang Tao is a very good friend.I learned so many advantages from him，and I changed more and more excellently. We separated three months ago.Now I miss him very much，and I hoped that our friendship will continue to be just as strong after we graduate. （1）The writer believes that an excellent friend 　 　.
