【题目】Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!
【1】How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?
A. She is miserable and unhappy.
B. She feels she is going to die very soon.
C. She would like to live much younger.
D. She is cheerful and humorous.
【2】Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?
A. trick B. deal C. march D. sport
【3】Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the lawyer every year on her birthday?
A. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her
D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】B
【3】A
【解析】
试题分析:本文介绍了世界上活得最久的人Jeanne Calment以及她长寿的秘密。
【1】D 推理判断题。根据文章内容及第2段第3句 She still has a lively sense of humor 可知虽然在生活中她遇见了很多的困难,但是她并没有失去希望,而是保持积极乐观的心态,同时也很有幽默感。此题答案为 B。
【2】B词义猜测题。根据前句A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.可知一位律师购买了她的房子,并签署了协议。It must have seemed a good move at the time可知在当时可能这是很合算的交易。故B正确。
【3】A推理判断题。根据前句but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house可知正是因为她一直活着,导致购买她房子的律师要多付很多钱。她多活一年,这位购买者就要多付一年的钱。故A正确。

【题目】Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added:“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might die away.”
【1】In what way is David different from people of his age?
A. He often goes out with friends.
B. He lives with his mother.
C. He has a handsome income.
D. He graduated with six O-levels.
【2】What is one of the problems that David is facing now?
A. He is too young to get a credit card.
B. He has no time to learn driving.
C. He has very little spare time.
D. He will soon lose his job.
【3】Why was David able to get the job in the company?
A. He had done well in all his exams.
B. He had written some computer programs.
C. He was good at playing computer games.
D. He had learnt to use computers at school.
【4】Why did David decide to leave school and start working?
A. He received lots of job offers.
B. He was eager to help his mother.
C. He lost interest in school studies.
D. He wanted to earn his own living.

There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story and describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotion. Poets use different forms of poetry to express them. The nursery rhymes may not make sense of and even seem contradictory. List poems have a flexible line length and repeating phrases what give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. The cinquain and haiku can give clear picture use the minimum of words. English speakers also enjoy some forms of Asian poetry--Tang poems from China in particularly. With so many different forms of poetry to choose, students may eventually want to write poems of their own.

Dear Ms Brown,
I’m writing this letter to express my thanks to you for help me with my English study during the past three years. I can still remember how poor my English was when I come to senior middle school. I even felt frightening each time I attended an English class. Know this, you communicated with me patient and let me know the important of learning English well. Then you taught me many useful ways to learn English and even spent many of your free time helping me, for which I have always been grateful. With your help, I finally made a great progress. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came I was admitted into a key university.
Ms Brown, it’s you that has changed my life and made my dream come true. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

I was excited when I hear that our community was to have its own McDonald’s restaurant. I thought about all those young people whom would not have to go to the next town to buy its favorite burgers and chips. McDonald’s cares about health eating too and works with scientists to provide food that is high quality, safe and healthy. They often provide salads as good as burgers and chops. You can also choose between cola with milk shakes. Of course it also means more work for our area that need jobs badly. McDonald’s says they are interested in doing what is right for the community and being good neighbor. So I think they will be concerned about provide parking for the cars in our main street.
