    Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Ups and downs of The Washington Post. B. Katharine Graham's family life and career. C. Katharine Graham: from housewife to successful publisher. D. Katharine Graham: a woman who shaped American journalism. B In Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S.A., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression . This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan. 【查看更多】

    A plane crash in Western Russian killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski and the other 96 political and military officials on board on April 10. The accident has led to huge national mourning in Poland. But it may provide an opportunity for reconciliation (和解) between Poland and Russia, countries that have a troubled relationship.
    Many from the political elite were lost in the crash. Beside the president, the dead include the army chief of Staff, the head of National Security Bureau, the national bank president, the deputy foreign minister and other members of parliament.
    The Polish delegation was heading to Russia to mark the 70 th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre (屠杀) when the accident occurred. In 1940, about 22,000 Polish soldiers, intellectuals, and officials captured after the Soviet Army invaded Poland in 1939, were killed secretly by Soviet police in the forest of Russia’s Katyn.
    The Katyn Massacre had been a sensitive topic between the countries. The former Soviet Union always denied responsibility for the massacre. It was not until 1992 that Russian released archived documents about the killing.
    Katyn is merely a short chapter in Poland and Russia’s long and troubled history. In the 18 th century, along with Prussia, (then an important part of Germany) and Austria. Russia participated in three carve – ups of Poland. In 1795, after the third carve – up, the country was erased from the map of Europe. It was in 1918 that Poland regained its independence. But in 1939, at the beginning of the World War II, it was invaded by Germany and the Soviet Union under a secret pact. After the war, Poland became a communist country with close ties to the Soviet Union.
    In 1989, Poland switched to capitalism and pursued a pro – West position. The most recent tension between the two countries was in 2008. That year, Poland decided to have a US missile shield (导弹防御系统) on its soil, while neighboring Russia threatened to aim missiles at Poland.
    But the plane crash has created a chance for reconciliation, with Russia sharing the sadness of Poland. Russia has declared April 12 a day of mourning for the victims. Flags flew at half – mast in Moscow. And earlier on April 7, Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin became the first Russian leader to mark the anniversary of the massacre.

    As we all know, getting benched in sports is usually a bad thing. But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different – a place to find friends. It’s called the Friendship Bench. And it’s the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary – a girl named Acacia Woodley.

    Acacia’s attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board – “what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?” It’s a philosophy Acacias has learned to live her own life -despite having a lot of people would consider a handicap. She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. “You need to believe in your dreams. If you don’t believe in you dreams, I can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true.” She said.

    Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself – kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. “Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to,” she said. “I don’t care that I’m different. I like being different.”

    The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it – words such as “hope”, “respect”, “listen” and “dream”. Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother.

    Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids – or grown-ups – to fill that need. “It’s a perfect idea,” Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. “It’s something we’ve needed so badly.”

    The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing one too. “There’s a saying in my teacher’s classroom,” Acacia said. “It says, ‘it you can dream it, you can achieve it.’”

    1.What is the function of the first sentence in Paragraph One?

    A. To explain the meaning of getting benched is sports.

    B. To introduce the important role “bench” plays in sports.

    C. To introduce what the author wants to say in the text to us.

    D. To tell us that the passage is connected with the word “bench”.

    2.What can be learned about Acacia from the passage?

    A. She is disabled but leads an active life.

    B. She has a deep understanding of life.

    C. She finds it difficult to achieve her goals.

    D. She finds herself always in need of help.

    3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

    A. Acacia has also suffered from other kids’ bullying.

    B. The kids who sit on the bench feel they need friends.

    C. Grown-ups are allowed to offer their help to the one in need.

    D. The Friendship Bench is different from others in the arm sets.

    4.What can we infer from the passage?

    A. More Friendship Benches will be installed in other schools soon.

    B. Students stop bullying other schoolmates at Palm Bay Elementary.

    C. The students at Palm Bay Elementary have become more friendly.

    D. Acacia has become a very important figure at Palm Bay Elementary.

    5.What is the best title of this passage?

    A. Acacia’s New Invention

    B. The Friendship Bench

    C. Help from a Special Bench

    D. Getting Benched in School

         阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题.  ( 请注意问题后的词数要求 )
           If you are a male and you are reading this,congratulations:you are a survivor.  According to statistics,
    you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman,and nine times more likely to die of
    AIDS.
         There are many reasons for this. Typically,men take more risks than woman and are more likely to
    drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor.
         Gullotta,a professor from a famous medical university,says a healthy man should visit the doctor every
    year or two.For those over 45 ,it should be at least once a year.
         Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker's
    cough for a year.
            According to a recent survey,95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a
    year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
           " A lot of men think they are absolutely strong," Gullotta says. They only come in when a friend
    drops dead on the golf course and they think," Geez,if it could happen to him,________. "
             Then there is the ostrich approach, " Some men are scared of what might be there and would
    rather not know, " says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
            " Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says.  He
    believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.  Cartmill
    says " regular check-ups for
    men would surely place stress on the public purse,but prevention is cheaper in the long run than having
    treat the diseases. " Besides,the ultimate cost is far greater:it is called premature death.
    1.  What is the best title of the passage?  ( Please answer within 10 words)
       ______________________________________________________________________________
    2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
       In his opinion, medical examinations in advance can help solve some common male diseases.
