I am Henry Jekyll. I was born in the 1800s. I inherited(继承) a large fortune, a healthy body and an excellent mind. I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job. So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor. Behind this quiet character, however, was a wild, fun-loving, irresponsible young man. Both of them were me. They lived together in the same body.
“Was it possible,” I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?”
After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer. I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory, searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug. At last I got everything ready.
Late one night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug. I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green. Then, bravely, I drank every bitter drop.
I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced through my mind—the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, lighter, more carefree than ever before. “If this is pure evil,” I thought, “I like it.”
I stood there, enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter. So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there. As I came into my room, I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.
At that time, the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side. Henry Jekyll had his faults, but he was mostly a good, kind man. I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll. But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde’s eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life.
1.In others’ eyes, the writer was ______.
A. wild and successful B. fun-loving and responsible
C. quiet and irresponsible D. serious and hard-working
2.The writer wanted to find a drug to ______.
A. discover the right mixture of chemicals
B. create separate bodies for both sides
C. observe the change of the chemicals
D. make himself smaller but stronger
3.From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.
A. felt quite delighted right after taking the drug
B. preferred kind Henry to pure evil Edward
C. was very sick of the shorter Edward Hyde
D. was satisfied with both of his bodies[

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
1.What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A. He never watched TV. B. He read what he had to.
C. He found reading unbelievable. D. He considered reading part of his life.
2.The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means "_______".
A. an idea B. a sound quality
C. a way of writing D. a world to write about
3.What effect does reading have on the author?
A. It helps him to realize his dream.
B. It opens up a wider world for him.
C. It makes his college life more interesting.
D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
4.. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A. What do I read? B. How do I read?
C. Why do I read? D. When do I read?

A record 6.15 million trips were made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Thursday, according to the China National Tourism Administration. That is an increase of 7 percent compared with last year’s Spring Festival. About 374,000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.
The administration also reported growth from individual and high-end (高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities—such as those in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region—became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad for Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.
“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local culture and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys in hot springs,” Li Xuejing, the agency’s marketing manager, said.
A Chinese tourist surnamed Guo, who was vacationing on an island in the Philippines, said: UI now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”
Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation (货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.
1.How many trips were made to foreign countries during the Golden Week of this Spring Festival holiday?
A. 6,150,000. B. 2,500,000.
C. 7,000,000. D. 374,000.
2.What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi?
A. They’re reported to have become important attractions.
B. They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.
C. They have the best hot spring in the world.
D. They belong to coastal source markets.
3.What would Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text?
A. Go shopping for gifts.
B. Study foreign cultures.
C. Relax and enjoy herself.
D. Chat with her relatives.
4.Where does the text probably come from?
A. A guide book. B. A newspaper.
C. A scientific magazine. D. An advertisement.
