    “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
    “Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
    After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
    “What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought

    1. 1.

      According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the close” means ______

      1. A.
        a family honor
      2. B.
        a family story
      3. C.
        a family secret
      4. D.
        a family treasure

        They were the earliest people living in Australia
      3. C.
        They were involved in some crimes in Australia
      4. D.
        They were not regarded as criminals in their days
    3. 3.

      Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was ______

      1. A.
        frightened
      2. B.
        knocked
      3. C.
        injured
      4. D.
        surprised
    4. 4.

      Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?

      1. A.
        She planned to keep it for fun
      2. B.
        She needed it for her school task
      3. C.
        She was curious about it
      4. D.
        She intended to scare her parents
    5. 5.

      Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______

      1. A.
        they were crazy
      2. B.
        they were over excited
      3. C.
        they realized their misunderstanding

    The First of May is a Bank Holiday—the first public holiday of the year in England.
    Most people consider it a special day ,the beginning of summer ,a day when the light lasts long into the evening ,and when we can look for warm weather .We don't always get it .We feel disappointed ,but not surprised if there are cold winds and frosts at night in May .Winter should be over .Most people know that in the past ,when farming occupied almost everyone ,the changing seasons were of great importance .In that older time there was every reason to celebrate May Day .Customs of those celebrations remain.
    Of these customs ,the best known is the choosing of a May Queen and the dancing round Maypole .Even these customs are little more than memories now—but in the last century it was quite common in villages and small towns ,and even in schools and colleges ,for a pretty and popular girl to be chosen Queen of the May .It was a great honour to be chosen .For a day she wore a light and flowery dress, carried garlands（花环）,and was ceremonially crowned with flowers .She presided over a procession ,as a rule with a number of attendants ,and over the Maypole dancing and all kinds of entertainment .The Maypole was slender（苗条的） tree trunk ,cut off its branches, with beautiful ribbons fastened to the top .The dancing was designed in such a way that the dancer's movements move the ribbons into a pattern. This, as you can imagine ,required skill from the dancer ,and was not achieved without practice .
    It's the Celtic（凯尔特的）people who celebrated the First of May as a spring festival .Their celebration seems to have had little to do with taking pleasure in early ,beautiful flowers and in warmer weather! They called it Beltane—the fire of the god Bel .They lit fires ,in the expectation that their blaze would help the sun in its struggle to regain its strength. They drove their cattle between banks of flame in the expectation that the terrified beasts would be purified（净化） and protected from disease .A tree ,which must have been blackened with smoke ,stood in the middle of the fires ,and is thought to have been the origin of the Maypole .Their priests（牧师） made sacrifices to the goods in the hope of good harvests and sufficient store of food for the winter. There was dancing certainly ,but it was noisy and cheerful ,since its purpose was not to weave a pattern of colored ribbons ,but to drive out evil spirits from the earth and to arouse those kind spirits.

    I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Since I work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office.
    The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town. By Friday, I realized that my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold out all the tickets

    1. 1.

      The writer could go and buy the ticket __________

      1. A.
        any day before work hours
      2. B.
        both before and after work hours
      3. C.
        only during lunch time
      4. D.
        on Saturday and Sunday
    2. 2.

      The writer tried to go to the theatre every day, but was only successful______

      1. A.
        twice
      2. B.
        three times
      3. C.
        four times
      4. D.
        five times
    3. 3.

      He failed to get the ticket on Friday because _________

      1. A.
        it was impossible to make the round trip to the theatre in 45 minutes
      2. B.
        the concert wasn’t on Friday
      3. C.
        it was expensive to take a taxi
      4. D.
        all the tickets had been sold out

    Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes
    When you get in your car, you reach for it．When you’re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it．When you get into a lift, you play with it．
    Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curbtheir longing to hug  it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．
    With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone  connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past  couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and  counselors（顾问）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．
    The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill．Dr．Chris  Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of  cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality．
    Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him．
    Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?
    Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says．
    If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it’s because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use．Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．

    1. 1.

      Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?

      1. A.
        Cell phone users smoke less than they used to．
      2. B.
        Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes．
      3. C.
        More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes．
      4. D.
        Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes．
    2. 2.

      The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means ______.

      1. A.

      3. C.
        develop
      4. D.
        control
    3. 3.

      The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that ______.

      1. A.
        women use cell phones more often than men
      2. B.
        talking on the phone while driving is dangerous
      3. C.
        cell phones do not necessarily bring people together
      4. D.
        cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy

    Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races (种族) and rates (率) of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.
    Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
    Researchers say genetics (遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.
    African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.
    Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted (针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."

    1. 1.

      Researchers agree that it is______that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer

      1. A.
        the larger amount of smoking than white people
      2. B.
        the living style or habit of the blacks
      3. C.
        the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs
      4. D.
        the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke
    2. 2.

      People in the new study are made up of______.

      1. A.
        heavy smokers in America
      2. B.
        smokers and non-smokers
      3. C.
        the Asians and Hawaiians
      4. D.
        the black and white people
    3. 3.

      The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to______.

        explain different races react to some diseases differently
      2. B.
        tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers

      4. D.
        support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers

      Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author?

      1. A.
        The way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer

    The 115-year-old prestigious (有名望的)Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like“shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”, as part of the modern Chinese language．
    As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy, the Chinese language is forever developing, attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet lively language．
    For instance, the word “shanzhai” is used to describe the countless knockoffs（名牌仿制品）of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos．
    Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”, or a “mortgage slave” —a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities where well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage．
    All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English –Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary that was unveiled(公布于众的)in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week．
    The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month．This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparation．Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China—the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press—worked together on the project．According to Julie Kleeman, the dictionary’s chief editor, most of the firm’s editors were Chinese, while about one fourth were native-English speakers．
    “We don’t want to make it florid（绚丽的）, we want it to be modern and conversational．．．many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use,” said Kleeman．“The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago．．．Precise, native and practical—that is our main advantage,” she said．
    Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace．The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide．The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad, will be ready “as soon as possible”, Kleeman said．

    1. 1.

      According to the above passage, we learn that ________．

      1. A.
        knockoffs can be found in China but not very often
      2. B.
        the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid
      3. C.
        most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English
      4. D.
        well-educated youth in China’s big cities have difficulty buying houses
    2. 2.

      The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that ________．

      1. A.
        book versions can’t keep up with the changes of language
      2. B.
        the computer network is available everywhere
      3. C.
        book versions can’t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide
      4. D.
        computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language
    3. 3.

      What is the main idea of the passage?

      1. A.
        New Chinese terms like “shanzhai” and “fangnu” have got into Oxford Dictionary．
      2. B.
        The latest Oxford English-Chinese, Chinese-English Dictionary is on the market．
      3. C.
        Oxford Dictionary has become more fashionable due to the Chinese language．

        Beijing International Book Fair was where the new Oxford Dictionary was published

    The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.
    An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives -- a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean -- virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.
    President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a convention centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course. “It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the possibility,” a government official said.
    The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.
    The Maldives began work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change.
    Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s dilemma , has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded. He has also pledged the Hulhumale to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources

    1. 1.

      What’s the main idea of the passage?

      1. A.
        The Maldives plans to build floating homes for the rising sea level
      2. B.
        The Maldives’s president signed a deal with a Dutch company
      3. C.
        The Maldives staged the first underwater cabinet meeting
      4. D.
        The Maldives is considering ways to fight against the global warming
    2. 2.

      Which statement is true about the Hulhumale?

      1. A.
        The Hulhumale is a natural island near the capital of Male
      2. B.
        The Hulhumale is an artificial island to be built near the capital
      3. C.
        The Hulhumale was built in 1997 and has settled over 30,000 people
      4. D.
        The Hulhumale is protected by a 30-million-dollar sea wall
