    试题分析：本文讲述了盐在古代的用途，以及在古代如果偷盐会受到怎样的惩罚，并且在古代通过盐也能看出尊卑来。
    小题1:根据题干，本句的意思“我们不知道人类什么时候开始用盐”，“什么时候”是when。所以本题选A。
    小题2:throughout是“贯穿”，though和although是“尽管”，thought是“思想”，根据题意，本句的意思是“但是我们知道在整个历史中盐有许多不同的用途。”所以本题选A。
    小题3:根据题干，此处应该是“据记载”的意思，而“据记载”是It’s recorded。所以本题选C。
    小题4:根据three thousands years ago可知，本句应是过去时，故用ate。所以本题选B。
    小题5:根据题干，本句的意思是“盐被用来保存尸体。”“被用来做某事”是be used to do。所以本题选B。
    小题6:keep……from是“阻止某人或某物做某事”，是固定用法。所以本题选B。
    小题7:根据前面的was可知，后面应该用过去分词表示被动语态，只有thought。所以本题选D。
    小题8:通过阅读下文可知，此处应该是违反法律。故用law。所以本题选A。
    小题9:根据if a person was caught stealing salt可知，对待罪犯的方式是将他投入监狱。故用prison。所以本题选C。
    小题10:根据题干，本句的意思是“一万多人因为偷盐被投入监狱。”“因为”是because或because of；根据stealing salt可知，应该用because of。所以本题选B。
    小题11:根据题干，应该是带更多的盐会被惩罚。故用more。所以本题选A。
    小题12:根据题干，本句的意思是“将被严重惩罚”，本空是修饰“惩罚”一词，故用副词。所以本题选D。
    小题13:本句的意思是“过去盐在国王的餐桌上是很重要的。”故用important。所以本题选A。
    小题14:根据题干，“它总是被放在国王的前面”。In the front of是在物体本身上的前部，in front of是“在物体前面”不附属在物体上，而before一般表示时间之前。故用in front of。所以本题选C。
    小题15:根据前句important visitors sat near the salt和后句less important visitors可知，两者之间是转折的关系，故用while“而，却”。所以本题选D。
    点评：阅读本文时，首先应该明白盐的重要性，才会理解为什么在古代对盐会有这样的规定。在完成本题是，应充分阅读文章，充分体会作者的意图。要结合生活中的常识，进行选词，并且应该注意区分一些词的用法和英语中的固定搭配等。

Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily.

    One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself.

    Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
    So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?”and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比). ”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it:oh, my god!His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah!Ah!Ah!”
    But he still continued to eat the fruit!Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many!People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that. ”But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop!I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”
    And you think that man was silly, right?We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.
    So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
    小题1:The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because  .
    A．he hadn’t eaten it beforeB．he was hungry
    C．it was cheapD．he hadn’t seen it before
    小题2:The underlined  word“condiment”in Paragraph3 probably means_______.
    A．零食B．水果C．调料D．蔬菜
    小题3:Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
    A．The man went to India to buy fruit.
    B．The man didn’t want to waste money.
    C．The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.
    D．India can grow a lot of fruit.
    小题4:From the passage, we can learn that_________.
    A．we shouldn’t waste money
    B．we shouldn’t eat chilies
    C．we shouldn’t buy something cheap
    D．letting something go is better than keeping on losing

    The Girl From the Street
    The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage（孤儿院）knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else—to be independent（独立）. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began working as a secretary.（秘书）And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
    Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” She says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
    Mary studied management（管理）at Hong Kong and graduated in 1980, She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places---China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.
    The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
    小题1:Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage, ___________.

I knew they needed me.
    I was busy preparing lessons and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress(进步) with my help.

    People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals’ victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.
    Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.
    Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England’s Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”
    Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak（鸟嘴）; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.
    Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonel’s Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.
    小题1:Many countries used carrier pigeons in the war because_______.
    A．they could be believed in
    B．they were easily raised
    C．they could reach the enemy lines
    D．they could hardly be found by airplanes
    小题2:Which is the best example to show the bravery of carrier pigeons?
    A．Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were useless.
    B．For his extraordinary service, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”.
    C．In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers were needed to care for and train the pigeons.
    D．In the 12th century, kings in Iraq were kept informed of the victories and defeats by pigeons.
    小题3:From the passage, we can learn _________.
    A．how carrier pigeons developed in history
    B．how to train carrier pigeons to get victory
    C．carrier pigeons played an important role in the wars in the old days
    D．pigeons inspired soldiers to fight before high-speed Internet invented
