【题目】We talk about people being “colour-blind” but very few of us are. Even those who describe themselves as colour-blind are normally just colour lack. A strongly, colour-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.

Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a’ genetic trouble. It is known as Colour-blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only sec in black and white.

Not being able to see in colour is bad enough. But one is lander, Herrol, who’s a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it’s sunny I cannot see to do my work.”

But if being truly colour-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?

Well,we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami (海啸). As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It’s believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.

There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though it’s hard work we enjoy it.”

1What is Pingelap famous as?

A. A tiny island.

B. A beautiful island.

C. A mentally troubled island.

D. A colour-blind island.

2What .can we infer about Herrol?

A. He may stay at home when it’s sunny.

B. He is interested in burnt-out images.

C. He likes taking photos very much.

D. He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more.

3Why are about one-tenth of people in Pingelap seriously colour-blind?

A. Because Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.

B. Because the king had an unlucky marriage.

C. Because the king’s genetic fault played a role.

D. Because the king made a serious mistake.

4What would be the best title for the text?

A. The island of colour-blindness.

B. The disadvantage of Herrol.

C. The history of Pingelap.

D. The advantage of colour-blindness.

【题目】Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing.However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry , King of France, was famously dirty.Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbour ever since the 18th century.Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.

1The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because ____.

A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment

B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in

C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths

D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

2Which of the following best describes Henry 's attitude to bathing?

A. Afraid. B. Curious.

C. Approving. D. Uninterested.

3How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By following the order of time.

D. By following the order of importance.

4What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt.

B. To introduce the history of dirt.

C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D. To present the change of views on dirt.

【题目】An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.He told his employer, a contractor, of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials.It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter.“This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock!What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us.We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best.At important points we do not give the job our best effort.Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built.If we had realized that we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter.Think about your house.Each day you hammer a nail, place a board,or erect a wall.Build wisely.It is the only life you will ever build.Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.The plaque on the wall says,“Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

1What did the carpenter plan to do after retirement?

A. Enjoy family happiness. B. Switch to another field.

C. Start his own business. D. Build a house of his own.

3What can we know about the last house the carpenter built?

A. It was of low quality.

B. It did not satisfy the contractor.

C. It was perfect in workmanship and materials.

D. It was the best of all the houses he had built.

【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in he blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blanks with the proper form of the given word; for the blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.

When I worked part-time in a local bookstore at my early age -- so easily - pictured, if you do not work in one, as a kind of paradise where not only 1 one read his own favorite books but also encounter charming young ladies (one of my personal fantasies) who browse eternally among Toni Morrison or Ernest Hemingwast thing that chiefly struck me was that really bookish people are a rarity, 2 there are vast numbers of those who consider themselves to be such. Often they will introduce themselves when they enter the bookshop 3 ‘book people’ and insist on telling you that ‘we love books’. They will wear T-shirts or carry bags with slogans explaining exactly how much they think they adore books. It is clear that the was they dress themselves is quite similar to that of us bookish people, but that is 4 the similarities between them and us begin and end. And 5 (sure) means of identifying them is that they never, ever buy books.

These days it is so rare that I find time to read that, when I do, it feels like indulgence, more so than any, other sensory experience. When an important relationship in my twenties 6 (break) up the only thing I could do was to read, and I amassed a pile of books 7 I sank and escaped from the world around me and inside me. The landscapes of Yu Hua, Wang Shou, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Harper Lee and others protected me from my own thoughts, which were pushed into the background, where 8 could silently process without bothering me. I created a physical wall on my desk, 9 (make) from the books, and as I read them the wall slowly came down until it was gone.

In a more real sense, books are the best way in which one enriches his own life and the enormous numbers of them out there in the world excite me, especially when I visit second-hand bookstores with no intention 10 (search) for a certain book. It is like casting a net and never knowing what you will find when you gather it in. As Goglo put in it in Dead Souls: “Once, long ago, in the years of my youth, in the years of my childhood, which have flashed irretrievably(不能挽回地)by, it was a joy for me to drive for the very first time to a place unknown.”
