    There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven ye ars old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.

    I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.

    After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea (杜鹃花) bushes strewn around the orphanage.

    I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

    How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.

    Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo (用"嘘"声赶走,吓走)them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

    1. According to the passage, how did the author find the orphanage?

    A. A favorable place to live.                B. A bad place to live.

    C. A comfortable place for butterflies.  D. A favorable place for the old.

    2. How did the people go to their meals?

    A. By car.              B. On foot.            C. Queuing in two ways.              D. Any way they wanted.

    3. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?

    A. I love everything of beauty when I was old.

    B. The people in the orphanage stand in line doing everything.

    C. The azalea bushes were planted by the people living in the orphanage.

    D. I shooed the butterflies away because I didn’t want them to be killed.

    4. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

    A. I love beauty when I was about six or seven years old.

    B. I became old very soon in the orphanage.

    C. I had a very pleasant time in the orphanage.

    D. I was tired with the life the way I lived in the orphanage.

    5. What does the author think of the house parent?

    A. Pitiless.             B. Kind.                C. Lovable.                          D. Beautiful.

    Social circumstances in Early Modern England mostly served to repress women’s voices. Patriarchal culture and institutions constructed them as chaste, silent, obedient, and subordinate. At the beginning of the 17th century, the ideology of patriarchy, political absolutism, and gender hierarchy were reaffirmed powerfully by King James in The Trew Law of Free Monarchie and the Basilikon Doron; by that ideology the absolute power of God the supreme patriarch was seen to be imaged in the absolute monarch of the state and in the husband and father of a family. Accordingly, a woman’s subjection, first to her father and then to her husband, imaged the subjection of English people to their monarch, and of all Christians to God. Also, the period saw an outpouring of repressive or overtly misogynist sermons, tracts, and plays, detailing women’s physical and mental defects, spiritual evils, rebelliousness, shrewish ness, and natural inferiority to men.

    Yet some social and cultural conditions served to empower women. During the Elizabethan era (1558—1603) the culture was dominated by a powerful Queen, who provided an impressive female example though she left scant cultural space for other women. Elizabethan women writers began to produce original texts but were occupied chiefly with translation. In the 17th century, however, various circumstances enabled women to write original texts in some numbers. For one thing, some counterweight to patriarchy was provided by female communities—mothers and daughters, extended kinship networks, close female friends, the separate court of Queen Anne (King James’ consort) and her often oppositional masques and political activities. For another, most of these women had a reasonably good education (modern languages, history, literature, religion, music, occasionally Latin) and some apparently found in romances and histories more expansive terms for imagining women’s lives. Also, representation of vigorous and rebellious female characters in literature and especially on the stage no doubt helped to undermine any monolithic social construct of women’s mature and role.

    Most important, perhaps, was the radical potential inherent in the Protestant insistence on every Christian’s immediate relationship with God and primary responsibility to follow his or her individual conscience. There is plenty of support in St Paul’s epistles and elsewhere in the Bible for patriarchy and a wife’s subjection to her husband, but some texts (notably Galatians 3:28) inscribe a very different politics, promoting women’s spiritual equality: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Jesus Christ.” Such texts encouraged some women to claim the support of God the supreme patriarch against the various earthly patriarchs who claimed to stand toward them in his stead.

    There is also the gap or slippage between ideology and common experience. English women throughout the 17th century exercised a good deal of accrual power: as managers of estates in their husbands’ absences at court or on military and diplomatic missions; as members of guilds; as wives and mothers who apex during the English Civil War and Interregnum (1640-60) as the execution of the King and the attendant disruption of social hierarchies led many women to seize new roles—as preachers, as prophetesses, as deputies for exiled royalist husbands, as writers of religious and political tracts.

         What is the best title for this passage?

    [A]. Women’s Position in the 17th Century.

    [B]. Women’s Subjection to Patriarchy.

    [C]. Social Circumstances in the 17th Century.

    [D]. Women’s objection in the 17th Century.

         What did the Queen Elizabeth do for the women in culture?

    [A]. She set an impressive female example to follow.

    [B]. She dominated the culture.

    [C]. She did little.

    [D]. She allowed women to translate something.

    Which of the following is Not mention as a reason to enable women to original texts?

    [A].Female communities provided some counterweight to patriarchy.

    [B]. Queen Anne’s political activities.

    [C]. Most women had a good education.

    [D]. Queen Elizabeth’s political activities.

         What did the religion so for the women?

    [A]. It did nothing.

    [B]. It too asked women to be obedient except some texts.

    [C]. It supported women.

    [D]. It appealed to the God.

    Some Chinese new-rich like eating shark fin soup because they think it shows their class. However, for the Chinese NBA idol Yao Ming, doing so is unacceptable as the practice has led to the overfishing of sharks.
    When Yao and his wife Ye Li got married in 2007, they publicly announced that they would not allow shark fin soup to be served at their wedding banquet.
    Actually, Yao had been saying no to shark fins since 2006, when he was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for wild life protection.
    Now, the 226-cm big guy is resorting to his personal influence to encourage more to say no to eating the soup and to raise awareness of animal protection. "Sharks are friends of human beings. They are not our food," Yao said.
    Other celebrity athletes like Olympic champions Li Ning and Kong Linghui are following on the heels of Yao, throwing themselves into serving the public as Goodwill Ambassadors for wild animal rescue. Recent reports about Yao's retirement have saddened tens of thousands of basketball fans both at home and abroad. Yet Yao's influence goes far beyond the basketball courts.
    Yao has engaged himself in charity and public welfare services for quite a while. When the devastating 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit Wenchuan in southwest China in 2008, Yao donated 2 million yuan . "When I was a little boy, my parents and teachers told me to help others and to be a good man," Yao recalled.  "But I could not donate then because I had not much pocket money. After I moved to Houston, I got involved in quite a number of community service activities and I felt a strong sense of achievement when I got people together," Yao said.
    Like Yao, newly crowned French Open champion Li Na has showed her willingness to donate. Li gave 480,000 yuan of her prize money from the open, plus 20,000 yuan from her own pocket, to a local nursing home in her hometown. Another Chinese sports icon, hurdler Liu Xiang, has also been actively involved in charity for years.

    Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in
    the passage.
         For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the
    people gather together to socialize and exchange news. After all, the word "pub" is actually short for "
    public house"．
         As a result of this sort of history, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have
    become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called "Ye Olde Trip
    to Jerusalem", which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.
    However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire.
    There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
         That's how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to
    spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
    As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be "working men's
    clubs", meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of
    pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
    1. Why are British pubs often so old and well preserved?(No more than 19 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________
    2.Why are so many British pubs going out of business? (No more than 5 words)
