【题目】The weather is very important to farmers. The calendar might say “August”, but the weather's more like October. For some farmers the cool weather is a good thing. For others, it's a cause for concern.

At Apple Hill, the cooler weather was giving the Boeger Winery a chance to concentrate on bottling instead of picking. “Things were really maturing, it has just been a welcome relief to have more time to prepare.” said Greg Boeger of Boeger Winery.

But down in the Delta, the earlier hot weather has them two weeks ahead of schedule. Their harvest actually started on Tuesday, and this cooling trend is a worry. There have been no problems yet, but for each of the last two years heavy rain right after Labor Day was a problem, one that Don Pylman would not like to see repeated.

“If it doesn't start raining, we're in good shape,” said Pylman. “If the sun comes out and clears up we can get right back to work, but if we do get rain, the rots will start.”

The kind of grape makes a difference as well. Thinskinned grapes like the chardonnay variety are much more sensitive to rain than some of the others. They're also more difficult to dry off.

1The weather change ________.

A. shows that the calendar lacks science

B. does good to farmers

C. shows that the globe is more and more warming

D. doesn't always make farmers worried

2From the second paragraph we know the Boeger Winery ________.

A. isn't prepared for the weather change

B. has his wine bottled earlier than usual

C. has no chance to pick the grape

D. in fact,doesn't welcome the weather change

3The underlined “them” in the third paragraph refers to “________”.

A. the grapes

B. the family of Winery

C. the farmers at Apple Hill

D. the farmers in the Delta

【题目】English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.

Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to follow the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.

Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.

1The first paragraph is mainly about________.

A. the difficulty of learning English.

B. how interesting and various English is

C. different words in different languages

D. the immigrants’ contributions to America

2The underlined word “discern” in Para 2 can be replaced by___________.

A. understand B. notice

C. hear D. speak

3In the author’s opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to__________.

A. listen to it on the radio B. learn it from books

C. play games with it D. speak it often

4The article is probably aimed at________.

A. Japanese students B. German students

C. Chinese students D. Indian students

【题目】Bike sharing is growing in popularity as a means of public transportation. It seems like a perfect solution1China’s heavy traffic. 2some local authorities(权威人士)say the bikes have become a nuisance and one Shanghai district has confiscated(没收)almost 5,000 bikes.

Shanghai is the world’s largest bikeshare city with 280,000 shared bikes citywide. That number is expected5(jump)to 500,000 by this June, according to Guo Jianrong, Secretary General of Shanghai Bicycle Association.

Bike sharing is hardly new, but what makes8 unique in China is that its usually station free---which means that users can leave the bikes anywhere they want. It’s also cheap.

【题目】The producer of a new Indonesian movie about President Obama’s childhood years in Jakarta(雅加达) is hoping that interested Americans will flock to see the film, Little Obama, in theatres across the country.

Little Obama is the creation of Damien Dematra, an Indonesian writer and artist who has worked on the project since November when he was struck with the idea of writing about the time a young Obama lived in Jakarta with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president’s childhood friendships in Indonesia.

The novel and the film are fictionalized(把……编成小说) accounts of the president’s time in Jakarta and are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama. Many Indonesians share a deep pride about a man who spent part of his shaping years in the country and went on to become U.S. president.

The film star is a 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, an American who has lived in Indonesia with his family for about 10 years. Like the president, he is the son of a white mother and a black father. Since filming began, he has been under the shine of media attention. “My whole life changed overnight,” he says.

The film, which was made on a budget of $1 million, won’t get its first public screening until Wednesday, but ads for the movie on YouTube have got a few thousand hits. It isn’t clear whether Little Obama will get a U.S. release(发行), but the film’s producer says he is in talks with a U.S. distributor(发行人).

1What is the film Damien Dematra produced mainly about?

A. The friendship between America and Indonesia.

B. The political views of Obama from his childhood.

C. The determination and hard work of young Obama.

D. Mr. Obama’s friends when he was young in Indonesia.

2Which is NOT true about Obama and Hasan Faruq Ali?

A. Their nationality is American.

B. They shoot a film when they are young.

C. they have the experience of living in Indonesia.

D. Hasan has a white mother and a black father.

3What can we learn from the last paragraph?

B. Little Obama will be popular in America.
