    Driving a Car is not just handing controls and judging speed and distance, it requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination（协调）,slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.
    Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
    The present traffic ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
    ●50 milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of blood; or
    ●22 milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of breath; or
    ●67 milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of urine(尿液)
    Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
    Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK﹩25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
    The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
    Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible, driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
    小题1:The first paragraph is mainly about_____________.
    A．the introductions of driving skillsB．the damage of drinking to your body
    C．the effect of drinking on drivingD．the process of alcohol being absorbed

    A．should provide specimens for testing
    B．will be forbidden to drive for 3 years

    Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer． But there is one question that has millions of correct answers． That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct．
    Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
    People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents． Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used． Some parents choose the name of a well-known person． A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones．
    Some people give their children names that mean good things． Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”．
    The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names． A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook （小溪）; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road． The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest．
    Other early surnames came from people’s occupations． The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals． In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village． Some other occupational names are: Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans．
    The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village． The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture．
    Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities． When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with gray hair probably became John Gray． Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman． John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer．
    Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name． English-speaking people added –s or –son． The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert． Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O． Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell．
    小题1:Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
    A．Places where people lived．B．People’s characters．
    C．Talents that people possessed．D．People’s occupations．
    小题2:According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______．
    A．owned or drove a cartB．made things with metals
    C．made kitchen tools or containers．D．built houses and furniture．
    小题3:Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named ________．

    In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s cruelty to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft . To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at (对……的蔑视) society. To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective communication. It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age. It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

    William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
    Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
    Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
    He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would who probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet Auden wrote, among others, the following liners:
    Earth, receive an honored guest:
    William Yeats is laid to rest.
    Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
    Emptied of its poetry.
    小题1:Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?
    A．It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.
    B．It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.
    C．It was a typically wealthy family.
    D．It had an artistic atmosphere.
    小题2:According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life?
    A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
    B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
    C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
    D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
    小题3:What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?
    A．Envy.B．Sympathy.
    C．Emptiness.D．Admiration.
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Yeats’ literary achievements.
    B．Yeats’ historical influence.
    C．Yeats’ artistic ambition.

    Shoppers throughout the West, wary(谨防的) of a double-dip recession(经济衰退), are still pinching their pennies. However, Chinese consumers are opening their wallets big time. According to Mckinsey, shop sales in China have grown by 25 per cent annually from 2007 to 2009. Consumer confidence is now at its highest point since 2007 and female shoppers are leading the way.
    Chinese women saved just 24 per cent of their income, compared with 55 per cent in 2006, according to a recent study in the magazine Women of China. What’s more, three quarters of Chinese women say that they’re the ones who control the family purse strings, which means they are an “emerging powerhouse within the powerhouse” of China.
    In the 1950s women contributed just 20 per cent of household income, which rose to about 40 per cent in the 1990s and then reached 50 per cent last year.
    In a recent study of Chinese consumer behavior, Mckinsey found that women tend to shop more frequently than men, and spend more on personal-care products and food. Men, by contrast, tend to spend more of their income on gadgets(小玩意), drinks and alcohol, dining out, and socializing. They also tend to save for the bigger-ticket items, like cars and houses.
    Chinese women make up an ever-growing small part of the market—up from 20 per cent a decade ago to 50 per cent last year. It’s estimated that in the next five years women will account for 55 per cent of the$9 billion market. “The future is female,” concludes a January HSBC report on special and expensive goods in China.
    小题1:According to the passage, Chinese women ________.                     
    A．save less of their income than before
    B．are more cautious of spending their money
    C．make as much money as men in the 1990s.
    D．spend half income on expensive goods
    小题2:The underlined phrase in the first paragraph probably refers to _______.      
    A．saving more moneyB．making extra pay for food
    C．meeting with economic problemsD．spending money in a wary way
    小题3:Which of the following is true?
    A．Chinese men go shopping more often than women
    B．Chinese men spend more on personal-care products
    C．Chinese men tend to save for the bigger-ticket items
    D．Chinese men spent less on drinks and alcohol than women.
    小题4: Which of the following can probably serve as the title of the passage?           
    A．The Future is FemaleB．The Power of the Purse
    C．Facing a Double-dip RecessionD．Chinese Women Going Shopping

    Face-to-face communication involves much more than the spoken word．In fact, we often communicate our feelings to others through our body language without realizing we are doing so．We communicate through posture, gesture and facial expression．But the eyes also play an important part in this unspoken language．William Shakespeare called the eyes "a window to the soul," and you can learn to look through that window and better understand a person's body language by reading eye movement．
    Begin a conversation and ask a simple question．Watch carefully for eye movement during the response．If the person looks up, he or she is thinking or forming pictures．This is also a sign of a visual thinker．Looking up and to the left shows recalling a memory, while looking up and to the right could show imaginative construction or lying．
    If the person looks down, this could be a sign of obedience or even blame．Looking down and to the left can show a person talking to themselves．Looking down and to the right can show that they are feeling strong emotion．
    Looking sideways can indicate distraction or checking out a potential threat, hut a sideways glance can also show anger．In addition, eyes that look side to side often show shiftiness and lying．
    A glance usually indicates a desire for something．Glancing at a door could show a desire to leave the room, while a glance, at a person could indicate a desire to talk to them．A glance is also used when it is forbidden to look at something．
    A person who is lying to you may hold eye contact longer than normal．In addition, this person might smile with his mouth but not with his eyes．Smiling with the eyes is difficult to do if the emotion is not genuine．
    Rapid blinking（眨）of the eyes can occur when a person is thinking, and this can also be another sign of lying．Again, a person who is aware of this sign might overcompensate and stare．
    小题1:．The writer supported his argument in the first paragraph by __    __．
    A．using a quotationB．defining the body language
    C．telling a story of William ShakespeareD．making a comment on eyes
    小题2:．Which of the following eye movement shows a dishonest speaker?
    A．If he looks up and to the left．
    B．If he looks up and to the right．
    C．If he looks down and to the left．
    D．If he looks down and to the right．
    小题3:．Which eye movement cannot hide your feelings?
    A．Looking side to side．B．Blinking the eyes quickly．
    C．Smiling with the eyes．D．Maintaining a prolonged eyes contact．
    小题4:．The writer wrote this passage to __    __．
    A．introduce the different meanings of the body languages
    B．teach us how to use eyes to express ourselves
    C．explain the importance of body languages

    Sandstorms hit northwestern China's Gansu Province and North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on the first day this year. According to Sun Landong， a meteorologist with the Lanzhou Meteorology Observatory，visibility was less than 100 meters in Minqin， a Gansu county near Inner Mongolia， because of sand. When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer，it is called a sandstorm. The sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns， such as Baiyin， Wuwei， Jinchang and Lanzhou， the capital city of Gansu Province. Dust-laden winds also swept into Beijing. Brought by northwesterly blowing at more than 20 meters per second，dust first reached the capital's suburbs at 7 a. m，downtown areas at 9 a. m. The winds，which died down during the night，brought the temperature down to as low as 80C below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city's airport.
    It is quite rare for sandstorms，which are frequent between March and June，to happen in winter，when the earth is frozen. The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year，when they were serious，but Beijing is taking it very seriously. It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan ( US 725 million) in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a spe­cial team to make sure what causes them.
    小题1: What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Sandstorms took place in Gansu.
    B．Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new year.
    C．Sandstorms are very serious，compared to last year.
    D．Experts are trying their best to determine the cause of the sandstorm formed this year.
    小题2:Suppose the dust was 300 kilometers away from Beijing， it would reach Beijing about
    hours later if it travels at a speed of 20 meters per second?
    A．4. 2 B．1. 5 C．2. 0 D．2. 5
    小题3:Why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?
    A．Because there was little snow this season.
    B．Because a lot of trees have been cut down.
    C．Because people took few measures to control them.
    D．It is not mentioned in the passage.
    小题4: Which of the following doesn't belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in Bei­jing?
    A．The temperature fell. B．Flights put off their time to take off.
    C．The air is dirty. D．People had three days off.
