         People travel for a lot of reasons. Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are
    looking for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans
    are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so
    little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the
    dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. Every summer, more than
    25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for
    the same reason: sun.
         The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels
    are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's
    long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist
    for every person living in Spain.
         But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already
    one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure
    out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is
    dangerous because of pollution.
         None of this, however, is damaging anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with
    tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded
    beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
    1. It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______.
    A. they want to see battlefields or religious shrines
    B. they are interested in different cultures
    C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
    D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home
    2. In Para.1, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that ______.
    A. they are not good cities in geography and climate
    B. how rich their residents are
    C. these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots
    D. they have got more tourism than they can handle
    3. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?
    A. Italy
    B. Spain
    C. France
    D. Greece
    4. The sentence "one tourist for every person living in Spain" (Para.2 ) means _______.
    A. every year the number of tourists is equal to(等于) the number of people living in Spain
    B. all the 37 millions people living in Spain are tourists
    C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
    D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year
    5. Which of the following will damage the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
    A. Polluted water.
    B. Crowded buses.
    C. Traffic jams.
    D. Rainy weather

         Born in London in 1815, Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Annabella Millbanke and the British poet Lord
    Byron. Her parents separated just a month after she was born. Less than a year later, Lord Byron went abroad
    and never returned ( he died in Greece in 1824). Ada never knew her father and was raised by her mother. Her mother had mathematical training and insisted that Ada, who was educated privately, study mathematics too.
    Ada did well not only in mathematics and science, but also in music and PE.
         In 1833, Ada met Charles Babbage, a famous English mathematician. He was known as the inventor of a
    calculating machine called the Difference Engine. They became good friends and began to write to each other
     on the topics of mathematics, logic, and many other subjects.
         Babbage had made plans in 1834 for a new kind of calculating machine ( although the Difference Engine
    was not finished),an Analytical Engine. Few people in England would support him with his first machine
    unfinished. But he found support for his new calculating machine abroad. In 1842, an Italian mathematician,
    Louis Menabrea, published a paper in French on the subject of the Analytical Engine. Babbage asked Ada to
    translate the paper.
         When she showed Babbage her translation he suggested that she add her own notes, which turned out to be
    three times as long as Menabrea' s. The notes are the source of her enduring fame (不朽的声誉 ). In her notes, Ada predicted (预言 )that such a machine might be used to write music, to draw pictures, and would be used
    for both practical and scientific use. She was correct.
         After she wrote the description of Babbage' s Analytical Engine,her life was plagued (折磨) with illnesses.
    In 1852, she died of cancer and was buried beside her father at Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire, England.
         In 1980, 165 years after Ada' s birth, the US Defense Department announced a powerful new computer
    language. They named it Ada in honor of Ada Lovelace' s important role in the history of computing.
    1. It seemed that Ada' s mother _____.
    A. had little money to educate Ada at home
    B. wanted Ada to be a great musician
    C. didn't wish Ada to be a poet like her father
    D. didn't think Ada was a clever girl
    2. Babbage didn' t find support for his Analytical Engine in Britain because _____.
    A. his first calculating machine was not finished
    B. no one thought the machine would be useful
    C. he had moved to Italy and settled there
    D. most of his inventions proved useless
    3. Menabrea' s paper on Babbage' s Analytical Engine was written in _____.
    A. English
    B. Italian
    C. German
    D. French
    4. What do we learn about Ada from the passage?
    A. She was remembered as a great translator.
    B. Her predictions have come true.
    C. Her notes were written in computer language.
    D. She led a long and fruitful life.

         When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach
    (田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生).
    John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join
    our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he
    could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted
    the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
         About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning
    various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out
    for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since
    you're so good at it."
         John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could
    do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
         From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down
    to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves,
    I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!
    1. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's _____.
    [     ]
    A. PE marks
    B. self-confidence
    C. interest in sports

    2. Why did John take part in the track team?

    A. He had been an excellent runner.

    C. He liked running more than tennis.
    D. He had no tennis coach to train him.
    3. The purpose of this passage is probably _____.
    [     ]
    A. to build a close teacher-student relationship
    B. to introduce a new way of sports training
    C. to explain the value of sports and games
    D. to show the importance of encouragement
    4. The passage is mainly written for _____.
    [     ]
    A. teachers
    B. parents

         I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others.
    However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my
    nightmare (恶梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE
    teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes.
    No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!
         One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather
    worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement,
    I had no choice but to agree.
         It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann, played the girl. We
    were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up
    Margaret Ann as we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she
    who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for
    our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).
         Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did
    not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.
    1. What do we know about Miss Forsythe?
    [     ]
    A. She was good at dancing.
    B. She was a strict and understanding teacher.
    C. She liked to play games with the students after class.
    D. She was a teacher who taught students how to dance.

    A. She was excited.
    B. She thought it would be fun.
    C. She was disappointed.
    D. She was nervous.
    3. According to the passage, the most exciting part of the game was when the author _____.
    [     ]
    A. was dressed in the evening clothes
    B. acted as a boy
    C. danced around the floor
    D. was held up by her classmate
    4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    [     ]
    A. Miss Forsythe had planned the game that way on purpose (故意地)
    B. Miss Forsythe helped the author pick up the tallest girl
    C. the author was afraid when she felt ten feet tall
    D. the author lost confidence by dancing with her Classmate
    5. What is the best title for the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Our PE Teacher -Miss Forsythe
    B. My School Life
    C. My Nightmare-PE Classes
    D. A Game with My Classmate

           When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together
    chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK
    University while giving up the nearby Pe king or Tsinghua University; when the highest enroll
    ment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48: 1 ,it's the high
    time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
           Years ago,the answer certainly would be"Peking or Tsinghua University". But now no one
    could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have
    gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
            It's no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热) ,which is even out of the expectation of those
    HK universities themselves.
           How can HK universities shake the steady founda tions of Peking and Tsinghua and attract
    so many mainland students?
           First, Hong Kong universities offer large amount scholarship,especially for the top students
    who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400 000 HK dollars. Since higher education
    has become a kind of heavy burden of many families,it's easy to understand why the reaction to
    the generous offering of HK universities is great.
           Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and
    carry out bilingual(双语的)  education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is an other
    attraction for mainland students.
          Further more,university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as
    exchange  students.
          Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University be calm as before when
    facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the
    top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
        The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement
    of education in Cluna.After the awakerung and action taking of main-
    land universities,they can perform better together with HK universities.
          At least,it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费)  are among students' top
    concem when they are choosing universities. It's time to move.
    1. What is the passage mainly talking about? 
    A. Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK umversities.
    B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
    C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.
    D. The fatal of mainland universities.
    2.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because              .

    B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
    C. HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further
    study
    D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation.
    3. What is the author's attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?      
    A. The govemment should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
    B. Mainland universities had better tower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
    C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
    D.lt may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.
    4. From the passage we can see HK universities                 .
    A. didn't mean to enroll top students from mainland
    B. didn't expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
    C. have strict enrollment rules and only l out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
    D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
    5. What does the author mean by saying "It's time to move" in the last paragraph?  
    A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
    B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
    C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities.
