    For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.

    Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through these channels.

    In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day.Then the government allowed (允许) more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24?hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

    Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason.But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

    The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

    1.Teleshopping is ____ in Europe.   

    　　A.not popular    B.growing    C.not possible    D.cheap

    2.People like teleshopping because it is ____ .

    　　A.American     B.cheaper     C.easier         D.more popular

    3.Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they ____ .

    A.don't like to buy things               B.don't watch TV

    C.believe the things sold on TV are expensive

    D.think the things sold on TV are bad quality

    4.In Germany, teleshopping may ____ .

    A.help businessmen get more money      B.keep the shops open longer

    C.have fewer buyers                   D.bring better TV programmes

    5.The best title of this passage is ____ .

    “I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”
    “I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”
    “I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”
    “I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-1ife’ friends.”
    Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品) use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet
    For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.
    Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
    Is ‘surfing the net’ a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms(症状):
    ●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

    As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
    A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.
    One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
    Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.
    Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
    【小题1】The author thinks music__________.

    A．can make children calm down B．can connect heart to heart
    C．is difficult for pre-school students D．is a good means to find a job
    【小题2】According to the second paragraph Vanessa_________.
    A．got used to singing songs B．was too shy to speak
    C．was the youngest in the class D．enjoyed the author’s class
    【小题3】When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt________.
    A．surprisedB．happyC．frightenedD．satisfied
    【小题4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
    A．The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.
    B．Vanessa became as healthy as other children.
    C．The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.
    D．Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream.

    科目：初中英语 来源：2011年江苏省南京市玄武区中考模拟英语卷 题型：阅读理解

    One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.

    Afternoon tea

        People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day: breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches. And tea was served(供应) to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.

    Will you come for coffee?

    Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.

    Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange

    In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange(伦敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.

    2.What does “social occasions” mean in Chinese?

       A. 集体婚礼       B. 社交活动       C. 社区表演      D. 公共场合

       A. will be offered coffee only       

     B. are asked what you would like to drink

       C. will be asked to have a chat with him or her

    D. you are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party

    4. From the last paragraph we can see______

       A. a new business was started in coffeehouses.

       B. coffeehouses are still used by businessmen and bankers.

       C. businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses just for coffee.

       D. most people wouldn’t like to go to coffeehouses because of the noise.

    5. Which is the best title of the article?

       A. British and Chinese cultures.        B. The beginning of Tea and Coffee.

       C. Coffeehouse and Business.          D. English tea and coffee culture.
