As the temperatures drop, many people put on qiuku, known as long johns in English, to fight against the cold, and the village becomes busy producing (生产) long johns. The village has been making long johns for more than 40 years. About half of homes in the village do the business (生意) for a living. It provides jobs for over 1,700 people in the village and its neighboring areas. Every morning, the villagers go to the market to collect materials they need and take them home. Each house acts as a small workshop, turning the materials into thermal (保暖的) clothing, pants and underwear. Then they are sold around China and even to countries in Africa. “We can make a pair of long johns in just three minutes, producing 1,300 to 1,400 pairs a day,” said Zhang Feng, a 40-year-old villager whose family has been in the business for 35 years. “The busy season for selling are from August to the Chinese Lunar New Year,” he added. When Zhang was a child, his parents could only make around 20 pairs a day. At that time, they used scissors and an old-style sewing (缝纫) machine to make long johns. Now, with automated (自动化的) sewing machines, people can work much faster than before. Another villager, Shi Hui, has also introduced better machines to help save water and protect the environment. The village is also planning to build a large industrial (工业的) park. In the future, people will see a more modern “qiuku village”. 1．What are long johns? A．Clothes made in Yaojiapo Village.

Dear Liz, My stay in Thailand (泰国) has certainly been the experience of my life. Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family (寄宿家庭) is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma. I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I’m going to cook you a real Thai meal. Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants—and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun. I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol (象征) of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20, 000 elephants for battle. I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳击) lessons next time I write.

According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, there’s a “huge difference between parents and their children”. Symantec makes many security (安全) software for home and business computers. How much time do children spend online each week? Parents of children under the age of 18 said their children spend about three hours a week on average (平均). The children, aged 8 to 17, who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week. “I really think that’s because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don’t even know they’re online,” says Symantec’s Bill Rosenkrantz. “Remember, cell phones and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don’t have to sit in front of a computer screen.” And what are the children doing on the Web? “They’re doing things, like downloading music, going to social networking sites and shopping online, when parents don’t think they’re doing those kinds of activities,” says Rosenkrantz. Nearly a quarter of the children (23 per cent) might do things their parents would not agree. So how does a modern parent deal with (处理) this type of situation? “The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online,” says Rosenkrantz.“Sit down with them and understand what they’re doing. Secondly, have a talk about it. Have a talk about what’s an acceptable activity, what’s an unacceptable activity, and set some rules—time online, things you can and can’t do. Really have those talks. That’s the most important.” There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That’s why it’s so important for parents to know what their children are doing online. 1．The data in the second paragraph are used to show _______. A．parents don’t exactly know children’s online time B．time spent online changes with children’s ages C．children always spend too much time online D．children spend more time online than their parents 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Parents are too busy to pay attention to their children. B．Most parents know what their children are doing online. C．Symantec makes many special home and business computers. D．Some children surveyed may go against their parents’ wishes. 3．In Rosenkrantz’s opinion, parents should _______. A．stop their children’s online activities B．shorten the time their children spend online C．have a talk with their children and make some rules D．use security software in computers 4．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a kind of useful security software. B．To advise parents to notice what their children do online. C．To give reasons for children’s bad Internet habits. D．To talk about the dangers children may face on the Internet. “Come and play with me,” the little prince suggested. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said, “I am not tamed.” “Ah! Please excuse me,” said the little prince. But after some thought, he added: “What does ‘tame’ mean?” “It means to set up ties,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy...But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world.” “Please tame me!” said the fox. “You must be patient. Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the cause of misunderstandings. But each day, you may sit a little closer…” The next day the prince returned. “It would have been better to come at the same hour,” said the fox. “If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy by three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel. But if you come at any random (随意的) time, I’ll never know when to prepare my heart.” So the little prince tamed the fox. And when it’s time to leave... “Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.” “It is your own fault,” said the prince, “I never wished you harm, but you wanted me to tame you.” “Yes,” said the fox, “But now, look at the golden wheat fields. They will remind (想起) me of your hair. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat...” Then he added, “Go and look again at the roses. You’ll understand yours is unique.

Two spoke at once, “The fact is that this should have been a red rose tree. We put in a white one by mistake. If the Queen finds out, she’ll have our heads cut off. We’re doing our best to fix it.” Five started to shout, “The Queen! The Queen is coming!” Alice looked around, eager to see the Queen. First came ten soldiers carrying clubs. These were all shaped like the gardeners. Next, ten diamond couriers marched in two by two. The royal children, ten of them covered in hearts, followed holding hands and jumping along. Next came the guests. Many of them were kings and queens. The White Rabbit followed behind. He looked nervous as he smiled at everyone. The next to appear was the Knave of Hearts carrying the King’s crown on a velvet cushion. The last to join the grand procession (列队) were the King and Queen of Hearts. The Queen looked at Alice. “What’s your name?” “My name is Alice,” Alice replied. Then she said to herself, “They’re only a pack of cards, after all. I needn’t be afraid of them.” The Queen walked toward the trees. She became quite angry when she saw white, not red, roses. “Off with the gardeners’ heads at once” She continued the procession leaving three soldiers behind to take care of the gardeners. Alice protected the gardeners. “I won’t let them hurt you.” First she distracted the soldiers, and then she hid the gardeners in a flowerpot. 1．Why were the gardeners busy painting the roses red?

In his eyes, the change of ways of transportation in Chinese cities could show the great changes that have taken place in the past years. “My first impression (印象) of China was: thousands of people in blue or green uniforms on bikes in the cities. About 15 years later, you saw many people on motors.

As the temperatures drop, many people put on qiuku, known as long johns in English, to fight against the cold, and the village becomes busy producing (生产) long johns. The village has been making long johns for more than 40 years. About half of homes in the village do the business (生意) for a living. It provides jobs for over 1,700 people in the village and its neighboring areas. Every morning, the villagers go to the market to collect materials they need and take them home. Each house acts as a small workshop, turning the materials into thermal (保暖的) clothing, pants and underwear. Then they are sold around China and even to countries in Africa. “We can make a pair of long johns in just three minutes, producing 1,300 to 1,400 pairs a day,” said Zhang Feng, a 40-year-old villager whose family has been in the business for 35 years. “The busy season for selling are from August to the Chinese Lunar New Year,” he added. When Zhang was a child, his parents could only make around 20 pairs a day. At that time, they used scissors and an old-style sewing (缝纫) machine to make long johns. Now, with automated (自动化的) sewing machines, people can work much faster than before. Another villager, Shi Hui, has also introduced better machines to help save water and protect the environment. The village is also planning to build a large industrial (工业的) park. In the future, people will see a more modern “qiuku village”. 1．What are long johns? A．Clothes made in Yaojiapo Village.

Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family (寄宿家庭) is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma. I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I’m going to cook you a real Thai meal. Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants—and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun. I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol (象征) of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace.

According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, there’s a “huge difference between parents and their children”. Symantec makes many security (安全) software for home and business computers. How much time do children spend online each week? Parents of children under the age of 18 said their children spend about three hours a week on average (平均). The children, aged 8 to 17, who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week. “I really think that’s because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don’t even know they’re online,” says Symantec’s Bill Rosenkrantz. “Remember, cell phones and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don’t have to sit in front of a computer screen.” And what are the children doing on the Web? “They’re doing things, like downloading music, going to social networking sites and shopping online, when parents don’t think they’re doing those kinds of activities,” says Rosenkrantz. Nearly a quarter of the children (23 per cent) might do things their parents would not agree. So how does a modern parent deal with (处理) this type of situation? “The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online,” says Rosenkrantz.“Sit down with them and understand what they’re doing. Secondly, have a talk about it. Have a talk about what’s an acceptable activity, what’s an unacceptable activity, and set some rules—time online, things you can and can’t do. Really have those talks. That’s the most important.” There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That’s why it’s so important for parents to know what their children are doing online. 1．The data in the second paragraph are used to show _______. A．parents don’t exactly know children’s online time B．time spent online changes with children’s ages C．children always spend too much time online D．children spend more time online than their parents 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Parents are too busy to pay attention to their children. B．Most parents know what their children are doing online. C．Symantec makes many special home and business computers. D．Some children surveyed may go against their parents’ wishes. 3．In Rosenkrantz’s opinion, parents should _______. A．stop their children’s online activities B．shorten the time their children spend online C．have a talk with their children and make some rules D．use security software in computers 4．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a kind of useful security software. B．To advise parents to notice what their children do online. C．To give reasons for children’s bad Internet habits. D．To talk about the dangers children may face on the Internet. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章讨论了父母与孩子在网络使用时间上的认知差异，以及孩子在网络上可能从事的活动，文章通过Symantec公司的调查数据，揭示了父母对孩子在线活动的了解不足，并提出了父母应如何应对这一问题的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“Parents of children under the age of 18 said their children spend about three hours a week on average. The children, aged 8 to 17, who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.”可知，18岁以下孩子的父母说他们的孩子平均每周上网约三个小时，而参与调查的8至17岁孩子说他们平均每周上网七小时，故这些数据是为了说明父母对孩子的上网时间了解不准确。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文中“Nearly a quarter of the children (23 per cent) might do things their parents would not agree.”可知，近四分之一的儿童可能会做一些父母不同意的事情，故一些被调查的孩子可能会违背父母的意愿。故选D。 3．观点态度题。根据文中“The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online. Sit down with them and understand what they’re doing. Secondly, have a talk about it. Have a talk about what’s an acceptable activity, what’s an unacceptable activity, and set some rules—time online, things you can and can’t do.”可知，Rosenkrantz认为父母应该与孩子讨论并制定规则。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过调查指出家长并不了解孩子上网情况，孩子上网做的事可能超出家长认知，还提到网上有坏人，最后给出建议，所以文章目的是建议家长关注孩子上网做什么。故选B。 “Come and play with me,” the little prince suggested. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said, “I am not tamed.” “Ah! Please excuse me,” said the little prince. But after some thought, he added: “What does ‘tame’ mean?” “It means to set up ties,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy...But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world.” “Please tame me!” said the fox. “You must be patient. Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the cause of misunderstandings. But each day, you may sit a little closer…” The next day the prince returned. “It would have been better to come at the same hour,” said the fox. “If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy by three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel. But if you come at any random (随意的) time, I’ll never know when to prepare my heart.” So the little prince tamed the fox. And when it’s time to leave... “Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.” “It is your own fault,” said the prince, “I never wished you harm, but you wanted me to tame you.” “Yes,” said the fox, “But now, look at the golden wheat fields. They will remind (想起) me of your hair. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat...” Then he added, “Go and look again at the roses. You’ll understand yours is unique. Remember: Real importance is unseen.” —Adapted from Little Prince 1．What does the word “tame” mean in the passage? A．To play games together. B．To give gifts to each other. C．To travel to different places. D．To set up ties. 2．What should the little prince do FIRST to tame the fox? A．Sing a song for the fox. B．Promise to visit forever. C．Sit at a distance and be silent. D．Bring him delicious food every day. 3．Why does the fox ask the prince to come “at the same hour” every day? A．To test the prince’s memory. B．To make it special and exciting. C．To avoid meeting other animals. D．To save time for preparing food. 4．What is the main lesson the fox teaches the prince? A．Traveling makes people wiser. B．Animals are wiser than humans. C．True connections (联系) need time and care. D．Happiness comes from owning expensive things. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文节选自《小王子》，讲述了小王子与狐狸相遇并建立情感纽带的故事。狐狸通过“驯服”的概念向小王子阐释了建立独特关系需要时间与耐心的道理。 1．词义猜测题。根据“‘It means to set up ties,’ said the fox.”可知，tame在文中意为“建立联系”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing.”可知，驯服狐狸的第一步是保持距离并保持沉默。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy by three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel…”可知，固定时间到访能让狐狸提前期待，使相聚更特别。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通过狐狸强调“驯服需要耐心”“每天靠近一点”以及离别时的对话可知，故事核心是“真正的情感联系需要时间与用心经营”。故选C。 A large rosebush stood near the entrance of the garden. The roses were white. Three gardeners were busy painting them red. Alice thought this was a curious thing and moved in closer to watch them. Alice moved a bit closer. “Would you please tell me why you are painting those roses red?” Five and Seven said nothing but looked at Two. Two spoke at once, “The fact is that this should have been a red rose tree. We put in a white one by mistake. If the Queen finds out, she’ll have our heads cut off. We’re doing our best to fix it.” Five started to shout, “The Queen! The Queen is coming!” Alice looked around, eager to see the Queen. First came ten soldiers carrying clubs. These were all shaped like the gardeners. Next, ten diamond couriers marched in two by two. The royal children, ten of them covered in hearts, followed holding hands and jumping along. Next came the guests. Many of them were kings and queens. The White Rabbit followed behind. He looked nervous as he smiled at everyone. The next to appear was the Knave of Hearts carrying the King’s crown on a velvet cushion. The last to join the grand procession (列队) were the King and Queen of Hearts. The Queen looked at Alice. “What’s your name?” “My name is Alice,” Alice replied. Then she said to herself, “They’re only a pack of cards, after all. I needn’t be afraid of them.” The Queen walked toward the trees. She became quite angry when she saw white, not red, roses. “Off with the gardeners’ heads at once” She continued the procession leaving three soldiers behind to take care of the gardeners. Alice protected the gardeners. “I won’t let them hurt you.” First she distracted the soldiers, and then she hid the gardeners in a flowerpot. 1．Why were the gardeners busy painting the roses red? A．Because they want to make the garden beautiful. B．Because they made a mistake and tried to fix it. C．Because they disliked the colour of the roses. D．Because they were asked to do so by the Queen. 2．What is right order of the succession? A．Soldiers—couriers—royal children—guests—the Knave of Heart—the King and Queen of Hearts. B．Soldiers—couriers—guests-royal children—the Knave of Heart—the King and Queen of Hearts. C．Soldiers—guests—royal children—the Knave of Heart-courtiers—the King and Queen of Hearts.

During the day, he sleeps in Aunt Elizabeth’s office, and at night he flies around the museum. But one night, something strange happens. At midnight, Dacty sees lights moving inside the museum. He flies closer to see what is happening. There are two men inside the museum. They are wearing masks and they are trying to open a box. Inside the box, there is an old picture. Suddenly, one man looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. “Look, Bert,” he says to the other man. “There is a huge bird up there.” The other man looks up, but Dacty doesn’t move. “Shut up, Eric. Don’t be silly. It’s only a statue (雕像),” the man says. “Come on. I’ll open the box. You look for the gold medal.” While Bert tries to open the box, Dacty flies down and catches Eric. The thief is so scared that he can’t say a thing. Dacty flies up and leaves him on top of a statue. Bert is so busy opening the box that he doesn’t see what is happening. “Hey, where’s the knife?” he says, but there is no answer. “Eric? Where are you, Eric?” he asks. Then he looks up and sees his friend high above on the statue. Just then, Dacty flies down again and catches the second thief. He carries him up to the statue. The two men are very afraid. They start shouting, but there is nobody there to hear them. In the morning, when Aunt Elizabeth comes into the museum, she hears the men shouting. Then she sees the broken box. “Help! Help! There’s a monster here,” the men shout while Dacty flies down to her. “First things first,” Aunt Elizabeth says. She goes into the restaurant, opens the door of the fridge and takes out some fish. “Here you are, Dacty,” She says and touches his head. “Here’s your breakfast.
