    “Tom!”
    There was no answer.
    “Tom!”
    Still no answer.
    “Where’s that boy gone? Tom!”
    The old lady looked all around the room. She looked under the bed, but found only the cat.
    “If I catch that boy, …” she murmured to herself.
    She opened the door and looked out into the garden.
    “Tom!” she shouted.
    Then she heard a slight noise behind her. She turned round just in time to catch the boy as he came out of a cupboard.
    “And what have you been doing in there?”
    “Nothing,” said the boy.
    “Nothing! Look at your hands and your mouth! What is that stuff?”
    “I don’t know, Aunt.”
    “Well, I know. It’s a jam. I’ve told you forty times that if you touched that jam, I’d skin you.
    Give me that stick.”
    “Look out, Aunt! Look behind you!”
    The old lady turned round and Tom was out of the door in a flash, over the garden fence and away.
    “Damn that boy! Will I never learn? He’s always playing tricks on me. And he seems to know just now how far he can go, too. But I can’t take a stick to him. I really can’t. After all, he’s my dead sister’s boy. Ah well, he’ll play truant today and I’ll have to make him work tomorrow.”
    At supper Aunt Polly tried to trick Tom into admitting that he hadn’t gone to school.
    “It was rather hot today, wasn’t it, Tom?”
    “Yes,” answered Tom.
    “You didn’t have to open your shirt collar where I sewed（缝） it, then.”
    Tom was confident, now. He opened his jacket. His collar was securely sewed.
    “Oh Tom,” said Aunt Polly. “You’re a good boy really.”
    She was sorry that she had been wrong about him.
    “But Aunt,” came a voice. It was Sidney, Tom’s younger brother. “Didn’ t you sew Tom’s collar with white cotton? Look! Now it’s black.
    Tom was already running out of the door.

    Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels (元音) being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact (接触) with many people from around the world. This meant that lots of new vocabulary entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard. In 1604 the first English dictionary came out.
    Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words. Late Modern English has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: First, the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) led to the need for new words. Second, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
    From around 1600, the English colonization (殖民地化) of North America led to American English. Some English pronunciations and words “froze” when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that are called “American English” are in fact from British expressions. They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain. Spanish also had an influence (影响) on American English. For example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from Spanish. They entered English by the people of Spain who settled in the American West. French words and West African words also influenced American English.
    Today, American English has a greater influence, because of the USA’s movies, television, popular music, trade and technology.
    小题1:The main difference between Early and Late Modern English lies in _____.
    A．vocabularyB．pronunciation
    C．spellingD．grammar
    小题2: What helped to increase the vocabulary of Late Modern English?
    a. the invention of printing
    b. the Industrial Revolution
    c. the colonization
    d. the contact with other countries
    A．a, b, c B．a, c, d C．a, b, d D．b, c, d
    小题3:From the passage, we can learn the word “canyon” is from _____.
    A．American dialect B．African dialect
    C．SpanishD．French
    小题4:The third paragraph mainly talks about _____.
    A．English colonies in North America
    B．the development of American English
    C．other languages influence on American English
    D．the difference between American English and British English
    小题5: The underlined word “froze” can best be replaced by _____.
    A．remained unchangedB．disappeared
    C．improvedD．kept active

    The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two ______ systems on the whole.
    The ______ of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated（孕育） by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River _____ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own _____. Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture _____ went overseas to Japan, _____ into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same ______.
    When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was ______ on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known ______ the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also ______ waters. When the colonists of England _____ in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't _______ from the European one a lot.
    At the same time, the difference of the language systems _______ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language (see the picture below) while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.
    Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, ______ the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no ______ from the other.

    When I put a foot in the school for the first time, the thing that I will never forget is a big smile coming from the people of the reception. This is the kind of things that means a lot to you when you are feeling like a strange person in a country that you have never been, as it was in my case.
    In the classes, I don’t know if I’m a lucky person, but the teachers that I have had, in my opinion, are excellent, very professional in their jobs, and they just seem to enjoy teaching, and make the lessons useful and classes amusing.
    Another fact that I’ve really enjoyed is that the school is not only aimed at the English language knowledge. You can also find every kind of activity intended to entertain the students in their free time, with things like going to museums and galleries, visiting special places in the city or going to the very famous pub night to have a few beers with your friends. So here you have the opportunity to enjoy the stay in London, to meet new friends, and also to learn everything about the city and the British culture.
    Personally, there are some facts that have not been easy for me since I arrived, like being so far away from my family, the differences between English food and the food I used to eat, and the high prices for everything. However, I am impressed about a very developed and multicultural city, with people aware of the sense of living in community, with a public transport amazingly thorough, with outstanding tourist places, with opportunities for work and with food from every part of the world that you can imagine.
    I’ve experienced something priceless with my friends in London. Every time I made contact with my friends from another country, I learn about their culture. I was lucky to have such good friends. I think that time was a present for me.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The author’s learning experience in London.
    B．The friends the author made while in London.

    A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
    When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”
    At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?
    Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet c1ients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
    Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!
    小题1:In the four Japanese gentlemen’s eyes, Geri took their cards _____________.
    A．excitedlyB．embarrassinglyC．politelyD．disrespectfully
    小题2:Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?
    A．Because they couldn’t bear Geri’s behavior any longer.
    B．Because they had finished the task.
    C．Because Geri had something more important to do.
    D．Because Geri felt embarrassed.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
    A．ignoranceB．sadnessC．mistakeD．carelessness
    小题4:The third mistake Geri made was that she _____________.
    A．used her own card as a conversation starter
    B．took her clients’ cards with one hand
    C．kept her clients’ cards in a wrong place
    D．met her clients in jeans
    小题5:What lesson can we draw from this story?
    A．Honesty is the best policy.
    B．Think twice before you take any action.
    C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
    D．Don't claim to know what you don't know.

    As you climb into the hill country, the roads get dustier and rougher, and fewer cars can be seen. Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos, and many of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank that can be found just off the road. A UK organization helped to build it six years ago, and in the nearby village of Thapho, where clean drinking water is scarce, it has made a big difference. The tank feeds six taps which in turn give water to over 800 people---it has improved things for almost every family, from schoolchildren to grannies.
    But lately, we were told, the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals, people who have come down from the hill areas, and there are concerns that there will not be enough clean water to go round.
    There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400km railway link, which could transform the landlocked country. About 150,000 Chinese workers will be involved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?
    The vast majority of Laotians live on farms. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be moved to make room for them. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment, Laos still falls well behind its neighbours, although its economy has grown at about 6% a year in the last decade. Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.
    But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign tourism continues to grow: fortunately so far the fast-food chains and coffee bars common elsewhere are nowhere to be seen. Although all local media are government-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are available to those with satellite dishes.
    The government has also achieved impressive results in rural development, with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of the UN’s least-developed category by 2020.
    小题1:What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?
    A．Dust from the road is making the water dirtier.
    B．There are too many taps accessing the water.
    C．The population of the area is growing fast.
    D．The coming summer will dry up rivers and lakes.
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for Laos to be hopeful?
    A．There are no fast-food restaurants in the country.
    B．Laos has a variety of tourist attractions.
    C．Information on the Internet is freely accessible.
    D．The government owns all local media.
    小题3:What is the most serious limitation on Laos’ economic growth?
    A．The lack of local skilled workers.
    B．A poor transportation system.
    C．Too much foreign aid.
    D．Too many foreign workers.
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Laos: slow-developing nations
    B．Laos: small steps forward
    C．Laos: least-developed land
    D．Laos: landlocked country
