(A)
Holidays are a wonderful time of the year!Many people celebrate them by giving gifts.
sOh,you really shouldn't have(你太客气了)!”is a common reply when someone hands
gift.We say this even when we are thinking to ourselves,"Yeah!I got a gift!"Well,who doesn't
to get a gift?
Sometimes the gift is perfect."It's just what I want!"you might say.However,sometimes it'sn
We've all been there.We happily open a gift,wondering what's inside.Then we see it and we fe
we don't like it.But we mustn't criticize (the gift or tell why we don't like it.In other word
"don't look a gift horse in the mouth".
This saying is really old.People used it when gifting a horse was a common thing.I
understand this saying,we must urderstand a bit about the horse's teeth.They grow ow
time.So,checking the length()of the horse's teeth is a way of knowing its age.Sure enough,
young horse makes a better gift than an old one.However,checking the horse's mouth would be
sign of mistrust ()towards the gift giver and it might make the giver feel embarrassed or
angry!The polite thing to do is to simply say "thank you"and accept the gift horse.
Horses aren't common gifts now,but we commonly use this saying.Next time you get a gif
that's less than perfect,remember that it's impolite to look a gift horse in the mouth.After all,the
thought of gift-giving rather than the gift itself is important.
()1.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.We all have been to gift shops.
B.We all have got the experience of buying gifts.
C.We all have given someone a gift that's not good
D.We all have got the experience of receiving a gift that we don't like
()2.Why does the writer tell us about the horse's teeth in Paragraph 4?
A.To tell us how to keep a horse
B.To explain to us how to tell a horse's age
C.To help us better understand the saying
D.To show us how to choose a horse as a gift.
()3.We can infer that the saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"is for
A.gift receivers
B.gift givers
C.horse owners
D.horse trainers

When you buy fresh-cut flowers,do you think about where they came from?You might think
they were grown somewhere nearby.In fact,the cut flower trade is more and more international.
Today,thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems,even the most delicate (flower
could be exported (),and sold in a flower shop thousands of kilometres away from where it was
grown.
The Netherlands (controls the world cut flower trade.It deals with 60 per cent of the
world's cut flowers.And its auction houses (are very large indeed-Aalsmeer,near
Amsterdam,is the largest flower market in the world.About 120 soccer fields would fill its main
building.Nineteen million flowers are sold here every day,including roses,lilies,and of course,
tulips.
The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower types.Dutch
companies and the government invest (a large amount of money in flower research.Their
scientists look for ways to lengthen (flowers'life,to strengthen flowers to prevent them from
being damaged (while travelling,and also to strengthen the natural pleasant smell of the
flowers.
Although Netherlands plays a lead role in the flower market,there are many places with a better
climate(气候)for growing flowers,.and the climate of Ecuador(厄瓜多尔)is almost perfect.
Mauricio Davalos is the man who starts Ecuador's flower industry."Our biggest edge is nature,"he
says.“Our roses are the best in the world."With predictable(可预测的)rainy periods and 12hour:
of sunlight each day,Ecuador's roses are known for their large heads and long,straight stems.Ever
year,Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the US alone.The industry has brought worl
chances and a stronger economy (to areas of the country."My family has a TV now,"say
Yolanda Quishpe,20,who has picked roses for four years.
To others,the increasingly international flower trade is very bad news.In recent years,loc:
growers in the US faced huge competition from international flower companies,and many lost the
business.Lina Hale,an independent rose grower in California,said her father had foreseen tl
situation in the 1980s.“I see a freight(货运)train coming down the track(轨道),”he warn,
her."and it's coming straight towards us."
)4.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Fresh-cut flowers can't survive a long trip
B.You should buy flowers from local flower shops.
C.Flowers you buy may come from faraway places.
D.It's important to think about where you buy your flowers
()5.Which of the following is mentioned as large investors in flower research?
A.Dutch companies and the government.
B.Airplane and high-tech cooling system.
C.American companies and their government.
D.Ecuador's local flower growers and pickers.
()6.What does the underlined word "edge"mean in Chinese?
A.边缘
B.不同
C.角落
D.优势
)7.What did Lina Hale's father mean when he said,"I see a freight train coming do
track"?
A.He thought customers(消费者)wouldn't want roses.
B.He knew that his business would be influenced.
C.He could actually see a train coming towards him.
D.He thought his track would be crashed by the freight train.

Since it was first published in1843,the novella(短篇故事)A Christmas Carol by Charles
Dickens has been a loved by millions of people,and perhaps has encouraged them to love more and
give more.Dickens is known as the best writer of the Victorian times writing on social problems,
such as poverty(贫穷),child labour(童工)and city development..
Charles Dickens was no stranger to poverty.His father had been thrown in prison for debt(
in 1824 and he had been removed from school and put to work as the second oldest child of eight
children.Only 12 years old,he spent his time putting labels (on pots in a factory.1
How lonely and worthless he felt there!All his hopes and dreams of making something of his
life were ended.It seemed not an adult in the world cared for his hopes or his abilities,not even his
own parents.He wondered "how he could be so easily thrown away at such a young age".2
Dickens'father was.set free from prison after a year,and Dickens was put back into school for
three years until he had to leave again to work as an office boy.Finally,he started writing stories for
the papers.With money coming in and then children,.Charles had taken a mortgage(抵押贷款)on
a big house.His next novel was not so well received and his future payments were cut.Charles
needed to make money and he needed to make it fast.Criticism (of his new novel hurt his
confidence;it is not easy to write when you are down.He needed new ideas and inspiration
感),but he was running out of time:③
As he walked the streets after dark,through what he called the "black streets"of London,he again
saw the poor,who had little food or warmth in the cold weather,and the closed-up houses,like the
doors of the hearts of many who do not want to love and give.4
He happened to find the idea of A Christmas Carol that could show this and warm the hearts of
the poor and open the hearts of the selfish ()He needed to write fast and that is probably
why we only have a novella,but a novella was enough to 'share his story.He filled the story with
characters and scenes which he had already written about in his other stories.Scrooge,the main
character,is a selfish man who hates Christmas-the time of'giving.His late business partner,also a
greedy (man,comes back from the dead as a ghost to warn Scrooge.You will need to read
the story yourself to see how Scrooge finally changes his ways.
The plan to save himself financially(经济上)also saved Dickens emotionally(情感上):Ashe
wrote about Christmas and the wonderful time of gift giving,family :gathering,carol singing and
food sharing,his own heart was cheered and he remembered those things that really mattered to him.
He loved writing the book and produced a speeial story,which is still loved around the world.New
inspiration and fresh confidence set Dickens on a new path to success..
()8.Where should the sentence "It was the loneliest time of his life."be put in the passage?
A.①
B.②
c.③
D.④
)9.What can be inferred about A Christmas Carol from the passage?
A Dickens got his inspiration by visiting the poor people on the"black streets"
B.It is impossible for the readers to know the characters before reading the book.
C.Scrooge becomes a generous and kind man in the end.
D.The book is only written to criticize the selfishness of the rich.
()10.Why is A Christmas Carol such an important work according to the last paragraph?
A.It is very popular among readers.
B.It serves as a turning point in Dickens'writing career.
C.It helped Dickens make a lot of money.
D.Its theme is about a wonderful time full of love and giving.
()11.What is the purpose of this passage?
4
A.To show the greatness of Charles Dickens.
B.To recommend some great works of Charles Dickens.
C.To present how poor Dickens'life was.
D.To introduce the book A Christmas Carol.
