【题目】Carol: I started playing the cello（大提琴）when I was about eight or nine. It was great playing the cello because I was in youth orchestras and we went abroad to do tours. But anyway, when I got to university, I stopped playing. Well, there just wasn’t time and there were so many other things to do. Luckily, I took it up after my 25th birthday and joined a band.
Daniel: When I was little, I thought I'd end up learning the guitar like my father, but then I decided that I wanted to have my own instrument, so I chose the trumpet（小号）. I’m in the school jazz band and I'd like to be a musician when I grow up, but my dad says it’s difficult to make a living from music. But I don't want to be a lawyer like him. It’s so boring.
Carmen: Nobody likes living near someone like me because when I practice, I make a lot of noise! But you have to keep practicing, don't you? Otherwise it gets more and more difficult. The trouble is, in the summer, when it’s hot, I have to open the windows, so the whole street gets to hear it if I'm not careful. I love playing the drums and I play in a fantastic band.
Vince: I’ve played the guitar for as long as I can remember, but when I was trying to make it as a musician after school, I used to play in the Underground in London to make a bit of extra money. I kept on playing, but I ran a restaurant to make a living. When I get any spare time I still play. I’ve got a few friends who like music too and we have formed a band.

【题目】阅读理解
A cab company in one of Japan's major cities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based in Kyoto, shows the new idea in March. The business is currently operating five “Silence Taxis” across the city.
The cars look like any ordinary taxi，but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat inform passengers that they have entered one of the new silent fleet. Drivers will offer a greeting when their passenger enters the car, and aside from confirming the route they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can indulge in conversation, only if they are spoken to first, and they are also allowed to communicate in emergency situations.
Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said: “This service is currently in a trial stage, with the goal of creating an in-car atmosphere that provides the most comfortable ride for passengers through limiting the driver's speaking.” According to Japan Today, they made the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up being forced to chat with their drivers.
The company will assess the popularity of the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across more of their drivers.
Language and speaking is at the heart of another issue facing Uber drivers, after lost a High Court Battle to block written tests in London. Drivers applying for a minicab license in the capital will now have to pass the written exam following Uber's failed challenge against Transport for London (TfL). The company argued it could see up to 33,000 existing drivers lose their licences under the new rule.
The company's London head, Tom Elvidge: vowed to challenge the rule and said, “We've always supported spoken English skills, but writing an essay has nothing to do with communicating with passengers or getting them safely from A to B.”
（1）According to the passage, the “Silent taxis” .
A.has gained wide popularity in Japan.
B.has not operated yet.

D.is not safe enough for passengers.
（2）When we are in the “Silent Taxis” .
A.no one can say anything during the driving.
B.drivers are allowed to speak in emergency situations.
C.greeting is not allowed as well.
D.the fare is free if we say nothing during the driving.
（3）What is the purpose of the “Silent Taxis” according to the passage?
A.Creating a more comfortable atmosphere in the taxi for passengers.
B.Ensuring a safer atmosphere in the taxi for passengers.
C.Attracting more passengers to take taxis.
D.Changing the impression of the taxi driver in Japan.
（4）What is the attitude of Tom Elvidge to the “Silent Taxis”?

B.Supportive.
C.Unclear.

【题目】It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1,000 pounds of force-enough to break brick walls. During a deadly stampede(逃奔), people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.
If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.
Make yourself aware of the type of the ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.
When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of making use of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you can easily get trampled（踩踏）. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; make use of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.
Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer-it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you up. If you have kids, lift them up.
If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back.
【1】In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because_______.
A. they can’t breathe freely B. they push in the same direction
C. they are not able to get up D. they aren’t familiar with the surroundings
【2】What does the word deadly underlined in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. harmful. B. shocking.
C. deathly D. hateful.
【3】When in danger, to make a difference, you should______.
A. fight against the pressure B. stand still where you are
C. sit down covering your head D. move along the escape route.
【4】In the passage the write mainly wants to tell us _______.
A. how to stay far away from a crowd B. what to do when you are in a crowd
C. where to go when you are in danger D. how to get along with a big crowd

My parents and I went to the park on last Sunday. There were lots of visitors stood in front of the ticket window. We waited for a long time and buy three tickets. In the Tiger Mountain of the park, I was too eager to see the fierce frightened animals that I quickened my steps through the crowd. Unfortunate, I got separated from my parents.

【题目】阅读理解
It was a hot day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez's Pasture（牧场）and through some woods.
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull（公牛）. Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the town, maybe even in the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his words. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull.
Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I'm not going swimming with that silly girl cousin,” I told my mom.
“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone（语气）. I gave in and we set out. On your way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking（舔）his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still.
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn't been too bad. She's been one of my best friends over the years.
（1）What's the meaning of the underlined word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?
A.Funny.
B.Interesting.
C.Doubtful.
D.Believable.
（2）What's the second problem the author had to face?
A.His mother failed to ask permission for him.
B.His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.
C.He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.
D.His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.
（3）We can learn from the passage that Elsie .
A.was his owner's favorite bull
B.was aggressive because of her nature
C.disliked to play with little children
D.was actually friendly to people
（4）What's the passage mainly about?
A.The bull guarding Mr. Blickez's farm.
B.The story of visiting the swimming hole.
C.How friendly the so-called “big mean bull” was.
D.How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.

【题目】阅读理解
At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you'd call a perfect farm. But it was mine.
I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.
I wouldn't say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some tools, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”
Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!
I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.
（1）Why did the writer buy the Missouri farm?
A.To marry a nice girl.
B.To live a liberating life.
C.To have his own land.
D.To earn more profit.
（2）What was Claudette when the writer met her?
A.A manager.
B.A storekeeper.
C.A housekeeper.
D.A shop assistant.
（3）What can we learn about the Missouri farm?
A.It was well furnished.
B.It led to a happy marriage.
C.It was 40 acres.
D.It made a successful farmer.
