    The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.
    Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.
    A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail.
    If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.
    36. How do the blue tits choose their nest?
    A. They choose their nest together.     
    B. The male chooses their nest.
    C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.
    D. The female chooses their nest.
    37. The writer was lucky to see ________.
    A. how the male made his tricks
    B. how an interested female played with the male happily
    C. what the male displayed and won the female
    D. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female
    38. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.
    A. at any time        B. regularly    C. in April    D. occasionally
    39. The writer is probably ________.
    A. a bird expert     B. a bird-hunter   C. a bird raiser   D. a scientist

    Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say “please" and“thank you". We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.
    Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives：
    Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save＄1,000，invest（投资）it at 8%and add＄100 every month，by the time she's 65，she would have＄980,983！
    Be careful of credit（信用）．Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history，but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card，you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
    Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash，give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside，say ＄15 each week，he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
    Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving.“For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,”says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
    Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it.“You might say,‘I'd rather save that money for your education,”，advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money，you have a chance to share your values.
    64. The underlined word“incentive" in paragraph 6 means _____.
    A. honor          B. praise         C. excitement      D. encouragement
    65. What leads the writer to write this article?
    A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.
    B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.
    C. He thinks money management the most important for children.
    D. Parents care little about their children's management of money.
    66. The writer gives some basics to help __________ in a proper way.
    A. parents teach their children how to deal with money 
    B. children follow their parents' instructions
    C. children manage their money                   
    D. parents save their money

    More than ever, kids today have given up reading for activities like watching TV, playing video games and surfing the Internet, but recently a new trend (趋势) has been catching on that will hopefully change that.
    In fact, book clubs are becoming more popular among American kids. 11-year-old Kenya Debarros read about singer Lena Horne. “It was just amazing to see a black woman as the star and not just a mammy or a maid,” she says. But did all these kids come enthusiastically (热情地)? No, not exactly.
    “I like book club, uh, I don’t know, but I am just trying it out. My mom didn’t make me, but I just tried it out,” says 16-year-old Antonio Nash.
    And if they’ll try it, the experts say, there are ways to get them to come back. Make it fun, serve pizza, serve chocolate cakes and have door prizes (门票对号奖). It also helps to connect books to the real world. They talk about things that are happening in the community, so they can relate whatever they’ve read in the book to what’s happening now.
    Here they have long talks about the books they have selected, which most kids don’t get to do when they’re in school, and these kids say, in book clubs they’re learning to love books and love reading.
    “I feel like I’m actually in the book and doing what the actual main character is doing,” says 13-year-
    -old Justin Woodard.
    16-year-old Antonia McManus says reading gives her a nice break from the day, “Sitting down and reading a book gives me some time to get away from the world, and get my mind straight.”
    52. What does the underlined phrase “catching on” in Paragraph 1 mean?
    A. Happening.              B. Realizing.    C. Becoming popular.   D. Bringing in.
    53. What is the main idea of the passage?
    A. Book clubs develop very fast in America.
    B. Book clubs are popular among American kids.
    C. American kids’ habits are changing towards reading.
    D. A new trend helps change children in America.
    54. It can be known from the passage that ______.
    A. book clubs are designed to improve kids’ study
    B. book clubs are mainly to help kids forget the reality
    C. kids like to go there for the silent surroundings
    D. kids may get unexpected rewards in book clubs
    55. Why does Antonia McManus like going to the book club?
    A. She finds reading restful.
    B. She could get some sound sleep.
    C. She likes the noisy conditions there.
    D. She can deal with her problems there.

    Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
    Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East Indian Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
    At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British drink tea without milk.
    At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
    67．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
    A. The British got expensive tea from India. 
    B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
    C．The British were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
    D．It was not until the 17th century that the British had tea.
    68．Tea became a popular drink in Britain_____________.
    A．in eighteenth century           B．in sixteenth century
    C．in seventeenth century      D．in the late seventeenth century
    69．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because_____________.
    A．it tasted like milk               
    B．it tasted more pleasant
    C．it became a popular drink
    D．Madame de Sevigne was such a lady with great social influence that people tried
    to copy the way she drank tea
    70．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly
    due to the influence of　________.
    A．a famous French lady             B．the ancient Chinese
    C．the upper social class            D．people in Holland
    71．What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．The history of tea drinking in Britain     B．How tea became a popular drink in Britain
    C．How the British got the habit of drinking tea   D．How tea-time was born

    Parking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
    The city is seeing a rise in private car owners. In March, the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to 14,600 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
    By the year 2020, the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles.
    Downtown Shanghai is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesn’t provide an ideal solution. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown. Based on this idea, the city will limit the number of parking lots in downtown areas and demand higher parking fees but build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
    72.The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means __________.
    A. making     B. arguing       C. controlling       D. inspiring
    73. About __________ drivers can find places to park their cars in Shanghai now.
    A. 850,000     B. 1,000,000      C. 150,000       D. 2,000,000
    74. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us ?
    A. The city sent out more private licenses in February.
    B. Less and less people bought cars in March.
    C. The city sent out less private licenses in March.
    D. More and more people are going to buy cars.
    75. According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will __________.
    A. send out more private car licenses
    B. build more parking lots near bus stops
    C. encourage people to buy more cars
    D. build more parking areas in downtown
