The French governments have historically favored the city as the site for all decision-making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nation’s activities.
【小题2】Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century.

【小题3】The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most important newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louvre, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.
【小题4】In the late 1980s about 4. 1 million pupils annually attended about 47, 000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5. 4 million students attended some 11, 200 secondary schools. Approximately 1. 2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.
【小题5】Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumers’ goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population, and modern, high technology industries also have become numerous since World WarⅡ. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.

A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.
It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude towards responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)– starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.
Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, struggle for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.
【小题1】What is the main “generation gap” between the author and her friends and their parents according to the article?

A.Their ways of gaining experience.
B.Their attitude towards responsibility.
C.Their attitude toward high technology.
D.Their ways of making their way to the top.
【小题2】Which of the following might the author agree with?
A.It involves too much effort to rise vertically.
B.It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier.
C.It’s all right to try more before settling down.
D.It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.
【小题3】What can we conclude from the article?
A.The author is envious of her parents enjoying a big house at her age.
B.“Generation Y” people don’t want to grow up and rush into adulthood.
C.Growing up in a hi-tech world makes “Generation Y” feel insecure about relationships.
D.The author wrote this article so that others would be able to understand her generation better.
【小题4】What is the main theme of the article?
A.Criticisms of the young generation.
B.The sudden realization of growing up.
C.A comparison between lifestyles of generations.
D.The factors that have changed the young generation.

A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them. Specially­made lanterns(灯笼) are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world.

Almost anywhere in the world, you can probably see graffiti (涂鸦画). Although it’s usually more common in big cities, it can be found in almost any community, big or small.
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it’s really art. This isn’t always an easy question to answer, simply because there are so many different types of graffiti. While some simply consists of collections of letters, known as tags, with little artistic value, such examples are easy to find, especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren’t for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission, it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art. Most graffiti, however, annoys the property owner, who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed, such as paints that dissolve graffiti paint, or make it easy to remove. Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them. Graffiti artists can, for example, create murals (壁画) for property owners, and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level, and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls. After all, who would remember Monet or Picasso if they’d created their masterpieces on walls, only to have them painted over the next day? Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy, but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world, we do need to try.
【小题1】What would be the best title for this passage?

A.How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist.
B.Stop Removing Graffiti!
C.Do You Like Graffiti?
D.Is Graffiti Art?
【小题2】The reason why people remove graffiti is that it ______.
A.makes buildings ugly B.has no artistic value at all
C.robs private property D.takes up too much space
【小题3】In Paragraph 4, the underlined word "dissolve" is closest in meaning to ______.
A.change B.flow C.remove D.freeze
【小题4】The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate that ______.
A.they are world-famous artists
B.they are good at graffiti
C.walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D.their works, if painted on the wall, might not be kept long
【小题5】The writer’s attitude toward graffiti is that graffiti ______.
A.should be removed by more countries
B.should be saved on larger spaces
C.should be created only on paper or canvas
D.may be accepted as art

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshipping South Korean actors Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho as demigods (半神半人). Chinese netizens have always been divided over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
Top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo Hyun recently earned a popularity rating of 24.8 percent in their country, considered strong by Nielsen Korea. You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.
The two TV programs have several common elements: a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs portray the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people are still fascinated by Cinderella-type stories.
The growing wealth gap is a matter of social concern both in South Korea and China, and the challenges that young people face in their search for a better life might have prompted (激起) many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular South Korean TV dramas portray. In fact, South Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market’s demands.
In contrast, Chinese TV screens are flooded by knock-off (山寨) or poorly made soap operas. There are too many Chinese TV dramas that are either of the stereotyped (刻板的) war theme or just blindly copy foreign programs. The lack of good stories has resulted in loads of TV series on time travel or fights in the harems (后宫) of Qing Dynastyemperors. These, in short, are the pain of Chinese TV productions.
The shooting for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts (脚本) are just one-third ready. Many popular productions have their own websites, where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts, inviting viewers to leave messages, discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future events. This not only keeps viewers’ interest in the TV dramas alive, but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience’s demand.
Hopefully, the innovation-induced (创新引导的) success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.
【小题1】The main point the author emphasizes in this passage is ________.

A.why Korean actors are more popular than Chinese actors
B.how the three Korean actors became famous around East Asia
C.what modern TV dramas need is not copying foreign programs but innovation
D.the Cinderella-type stories are an ever-lasting theme people are fascinated with
【小题2】Which of the following best explains people’s favor for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane?
A.The celebrity effect is powerful.
B.Drama stars are the best advertisements.
C.Rich and handsome heroes in dramas usually love reading.
D.A successful drama generally originates from a good novel.
【小题3】According to the passage, the secret to Korean TV dramas’ being successful is that ________.
A.drama stars must be tall, rich and handsome or beautiful
B.scriptwriters should choose the appropriate themes for all viewers
C.drama producers have creative ideas to adapt to viewers’ interest and demand
D.people’s concerns such as wealth gap both in Korea and China are taken good care of
【小题4】What does the last paragraph imply?
A.Abandoning copying foreign productions is the only way to attract viewers.
B.The Chinese TV drama makers should follow in the footsteps of the Koreans.
C.It’s hard to predict what the future TV dramas in China and Korea will be like.
D.A bright future of Chinese TV dramas can be expected prompted by the Koreans.

China’s new term, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary's editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words. “If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.
In Chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s countryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhao gold.” The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words — dama and hukou — which may also make it into the dictionary.
People can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.
“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,” she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, which means “connection”; Taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.
The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. “It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.
【小题1】Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

A.Dama and hukou have made it into Oxford English dictionary.
B.Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC’s recent programs.
C.tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.
D.John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.
【小题2】What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Give orders to others. B.Get ready to help others.
C.Go on a diet. D.Put on weight.
【小题3】Tuhao becomes more popular in September partly because ______.
A.it is very likely to appear in Oxford English Dictionary
B.it is often used by the online community
C.people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaning
D.Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone
【小题4】The main idea of the text is that ______.
A.tuhao may end up in Oxford English Dictionary
B.sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understood
C.tuhao has a new meaning at the present time
D.Oxford English Dictionary Includes new words faster than before

How words came into being is unknown. All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style(文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.
【小题1】We learn from the text that language might have begun with           

A.actions B.expressions C.sounds D.signs
【小题2】What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A.The relation of human experience with words.
B.The gradual change and development of words.
C.The learning of new words.
D.The importance of old words.
【小题3】In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?
A.Associate with listeners. B.Make musical speeches.
C.Learn poems by heart. D.Use words skillfully.

Inland waters may be grouped into two general classes: standing waters and flowing waters. As is often the case, the boundary between these two classes is not sharp and clear. A pond is an example of standing water. But most ponds are fed by springs or brooks and most have an outlet. Thus some current of changing water flows through them. On the other hand, a river is an example of flowing water. In some places, however, a river may have such a slow current that it is very difficult to detect.
Standing inland waters differ in size, in age, and in many abiotic environmental characteristics. They range in size from roadside puddles to the Caspian Sea. Puddles may last for only a few days or weeks; ponds, for a few hundred to a thousand years. In general, lakes are older, though the waters of some tropical “lakes” disappear completely during each dry season. Standing waters vary from very shallow to very deep, from clear to muddy, from fresh to salty.
In flowing waters we roughly distinguish between brooks, creeks, and rivers. The size and age of flowing waters are unimportant. Speed of flow, clearness, oxygen content, and other chemical characteristics are used by scientists in studying flowing-water ecosystems.
【小题1】According to the passage, which of the following characteristics of flowing waters is unimportant?

A.Clarity.B.Size.C.Speed of flow.D.Oxygen content.
【小题2】The word “abiotic” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by ______.
A.nonlivingB.livingC.coastalD.inland
【小题3】Which of the following statements is true?
A.Usually the water in a river flows into a pond.
B.Scientists only study flowing-water ecosystems.
C.Usually ponds last much longer than puddles.
D.The Caspian Sea is considered as an example of flowing water.
【小题4】From this passage we may know that the distinction between standing waters and flowing waters ______.
A.depends on how people name the waters
B.is clear
C.depends on the seasons
D.is hard to make
【小题5】This passage mainly tells us that ______.
A.there are two major classes of inland waters
B.lakes and rivers are flowing waters
C.age and size of flowing waters are important
D.ponds and brooks are standing waters

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
【小题1】 What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.
B.Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.
C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D.A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
【小题2】According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A.Challenging mental work.B.Unpleasant emotions.
C.Endless tasks.D.Physical labor.
【小题3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?
A.He agrees with them.B.He doubts them.
C.He argues against them.D.He hesitates to accept them.
【小题4】 We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.
A.have some good food.B.enjoy their work
C.exercise regularlyD.discover fatigue toxins
