It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that” To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
1.The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that________.
A. most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D. English conversations usually start with the weather
2.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?
A. A social trend. B. An emotional state.
C. A historical concept. D. An unknown phenomenon.
3.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.
A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. there is nothing special about the English weather]
C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
4.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B. To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.
C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home.
These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created a robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. The child can take part in classroom activities from wherever she/he is recovering—whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras make communicating easy. It was designed to be tough. It is water resistant and can take a fall from a desk without damage.
Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera hooked up to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.
And robots are, quite simply, cool. The robot just became available to the public. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 2?
A. freed B. tired C. banned D. separated
2.What can we know about AV1?
A. It can go to school on its own.
B. It is small and looks like a kid.
C. It can replace children to attend classes.
D. It was created by Dolva and Aabel.
3.How are the movements of AV1 controlled?
A. By using a tablet or phone. B. By joining in classroom activities.
C. Through a small speaker. D. Through a small camera.
4.Who is AV1 mainly designed for?
A. Children who have just recovered from illnesses.
B. Children who can’t go to school for a long time.
C. Children who are bored with going to school.
D. Children who can’t see, hear or speak.

A Shanghai shopping center recently opened a “husband nursery”. Men who are pulled around the shops by their wives or girlfriends can relax and rest there from shopping. Do most men hate shopping with women? Forum(论坛)readers share their opinions.
YinsXZ (US)
Hey, that is a nice idea. I like it. It also makes it easier for women who have lots of bags to be able to drop them off at the nursery for boyfriends to watch over while they return to shop for more! Set it up with wifi too and you have a perfect hang out spot. And most importantly, I don’t have to wait for complaints from the woman when I stop to look at computers to tools!
Sunnylin01(China)
Most women like shopping while most men don’t. Men generally don’t spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. They know what they want, get in, buy them and get out. 10-15 minutes and they’re done. This is quite different from how a woman shops. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. The trying will spend hours.
Seneca(a foreigner in China)
Many women view shopping as an entertaining way to get down from high stress levels. My wife is one of those. Stress comes too naturally to her; driving a car, doing her job ,dealing with workmates all lead to some rising of her stress level. So shopping ideally happens every day. For me, that amount of shopping is stressful.
Blonde Amber(Ireland)
Some men take hours comparing products, trying things out, finding sales prices. They don’t always know what they want but enjoy just looking. Men can shop the same as women for things they are interested in and spend hours doing it. Equally not all women like shopping and go in, 10-15 minutes and they are done. People are not black and white, and don’t fit into boxes.
1.According to forum readers, which is not the benefit of opening a “husband nursery”?
A. Men can escape the complaints from women
B. Women can enjoy shopping more with bags left in men’s care
C. Women can finish their shopping in a shorter time
D. Men can relax themselves when women are shopping
2.Which saying below can best describe Sunnylin01 and Seneca’s opinion?
A. One man’s meat is another man’s poison
B. Joy and sorrow are next-door neighbors
C. A good wife make a good husband
D. Experience is the mother of wisdom
3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that_____.
A. black people and white people are different in size
B. people with different skins have different opinions
C. people shouldn’t draw general conclusion blindly
D. shopping is not suitable for any kind of people

Deliberately making a road icy sounds like a method for disaster, but in 16th-century China it helped things run smoothly. Repairs to the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1557 called for huge stones from a quarry(采石场) more than 70 km away. The biggest was the 300-ton “Large Stone Carving.” Such stones were too heavy for any cart, and too fragile for rollers. The builders adopted a wise alternative approach to carry the heavy stone.
They dug a series of wells, spaced a few hundred metres apart, along the route to the quarry. Then, in the depth of winter, when temperatures reached around -4℃, buckets of water were poured on to the dirt track, transforming it into an ice road.
The stone blocks were pushed along the road on wooden sledges (雪橇). Modern engineers have calculated that it would take 1,500 workers to drag a sledge on the dirt road, but only 300 on ice. Ancient tests suggested the ice was made slippery with more water; this reduced the friction further and just 50 men could pull a sledge. This technique only works when the temperature is also close to zero, otherwise the film of water freezes too quickly.
The researchers at Princeton University estimated that the blocks could be moved at six metres a minute, and the journey could be completed in 28 days. This would be well before the spring when the ice would melt.
It was once suggested that similar ice-sledges transported Stonehenge stones, but the ground that had a lot of holes and comparatively mild conditions probably rule this out.
1.Why did people dig some wells along the road to the quarry?
A. They wanted to build frozen roads.
B. They wanted to break up large stones.
C. They wanted to make the dirty track clean.
D. They wanted to get a lot of holes on the road.
2.What did people do to reduce the friction?
A. They made stone blocks much smaller.
B. They poured more water on the ice road.
C. They waited until the temperature was very low.
D. They asked more than 1,500 workers to clean the dirty road.
3.How did the researchers at Princeton University think of Stonehenge stones?
A. They were not likely to be carried on the icy road.
B. They had a longer history than stones in Beijing.
C. They were carried for over twenty-eight days.
D. They were broken up in the depth of winter.
4.What does the author intend to tell us in the text?
A. Making a road slippery on purpose may be bad idea.
B. The mild weather helped to carry Stonehenge stones.
C. Stonehenge stones were too heavy to carry.
D. Ancient Chinese transported huge stones wisely.
