20.I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau.Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dresssed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin,my legs are very white.In the UK this is not a fashionable(时尚的) look at all.Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin.The darker the skin,the better the look.
As I walked around one shop,the two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese.I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave.After we left the shop,she asked me what was wrong.I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin.My friend laughed."They were not laughing at you.They were saying how nice your legs are.Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact,there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better.The grass is always greener on the other side.If the women of the West and East thought the same way,Western women wouldn't spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

81.What is the writer telling about?
her first shopping in Macau
82.What did the writer prepare to do during her visit?
She prepared to enjoy the sun and get darker skin
83.Why did the writer want to leave the shop at once?
Because she thought the shop assistants were laughing at her white skin.
84.Why did the writer think the shop girls were laughing at her?
Because they didn't take their eyes off her the whole time
85.What does the underlined sentence"The grass is always greener on the other side"mean?
It means people always think what others have is better.

分析 本文属于日常生活类的短文阅读.文章主要描述了来自于英国的作者在澳门的一次购物经历.英国人多以皮肤黑为美,而东方人则以皮肤白为美,所以当她在超市购物时,别人是称赞她的白皙的皮肤而她还以为是被嘲笑呢.

解答 81.her first shopping in Macau.
分析短文的内容可知,本文主要介绍了作者在澳门的一次购物经历,故答案为her first shopping in Macau.
82.She prepared to enjoy the sun and get darker skin.
根据第一段第二句Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dresssed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.可知,因为作者来自于寒冷和多云天气较多的英国,所以她准备在这里享受阳光;故答案为She prepared to enjoy the sun and get darker skin.
83.Because she thought the shop assistants were laughing at her white skin.
根据第二段I began to feel uncomfortable 和后面的解释I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin可知,她感到被别人嘲笑白肤色的腿而尴尬;故答案为Because she thought the shop assistants were laughing at her white skin.
84.Because they didn't take their eyes off her the whole time.
由第二段As I walked around one shop,the two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese.可知,因为两个女孩一直看着她的白皙的腿而议论纷纷而让她产生了误会;故答案为Because they didn't take their eyes off her the whole time
85.It means people always think what others have is better.
分析最后一段可知,划线一句实际上是对前面一句It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better的解释,由此可推断这件事表明我们总是认为别人拥有的东西才是美好的;故答案为It means people always think what others have is better.

点评 本文是日常生活类的阅读表达,要求学生在阅读理解的基础上,根据短文后的题目,在文中找到相关的内容,并用简洁、准确的句子,将理解的内容,书面表达出来.做题时,注意表达的内容不要超出规定的字数.

8.Finding the right school for your child is a process.You will want to read about the school,talk to any friends who are involved in the school and,most important of all,visit the school.
The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet.We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure(小册子),the fee structure and an application.The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school.
In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School,you should come for an Admission Tour,which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child,a tour of the building and the classrooms,and a discussion of the curriculum(课程).
This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one.Every school has a different"school climate."If you visit two or three schools,you will notice that each"feels"different.You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.
The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.
Children must be three years old by August 31st.
We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine.At each of these levels,we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.
There are scattered(零散的) openings available throughout the program due to attrition(学生流失).Once an opening occurs,students spend a day at ICS,part of which includes admission testing.

64.You can NOT get to know about ICS byD.
A.getting an information packet
B.taking an admission tour
C.asking friends involved in ICS
D.taking an admission test
65.During the Admission Tour,you canC.
A.having a meeting with the children
B.decide on the design of the classrooms
C.talk with the school about the courses
D.choose the weather suitable for study
66.Which of the following is NOT accepted for ICS when there is no attrition?D
A.A boy who will be 3years old by July.
B.A fifth grader originally studying in ICS.
C.An eighth grader from another school.
D.A fourth grader from another school.

15.There is no doubt about it.The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously.I don't mean while you're unconscious.I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world,mother tongue.I just pick them up.But some of them may be misunderstood.Now,to misunderstand does not mean not to understand.To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
The 5% mislearnt of all the words we"know"will be the least frequently used words,as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt.Some of the misunderstanding may live with all our lives,without knowing that we got them wrong.
Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one's own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning.They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game."There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,"they will say."You have to practice guessing what the word means from the context."
This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work.It may succeed in many cases,but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what's more,there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves.Our learners'dictionaries usually have many meanings.A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
Don't guess!Look it up!

68.It is certain that the best way to learn new words isD.
A.to learn them by oneself
B.to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
C.to guess them from the context
D.to get more separate meanings of each word
69.The underlined word"them"in Paragraph 2 refers toA.
A.the 30,000 words
B.English teachers
C.misunderstood words
D.frequently used words
70.Which of the following is most likely NOT true?D
A.Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
B.Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
C.How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
D.All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
71.It can be inferred thatB.
A.when somebody is conscious,he or she usually can't learn new words by heart
B.we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them
C.it's the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context
D.only dictionaries can help us learn language well.

12.Habits,whether good or bad,are gradually formed when a person does a certain thing again.He is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly,and then a habit is formed.Once a habit is formed,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to get rid of.It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.Children often form bad habits,some of which remain with them as long as they live older.Persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live,and sometimes become ruined by them.
There are other habits which,when formed in early life,are of great help.Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life,such as early rising,honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness,lying,stealing and so on.These habits are all easily formed.Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.
We should keep away from all these bad habits,and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

A.Good habits                        B.Bad habits
