阅读理解。     It"s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the
vacations (假期) off? A new survey (调查) found that 31% of U.S workers don"t always take all of their
vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average (平均) each year, but they give back an average
of 3 vacation days each year.
    So why don"t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their
unused days; some busy workers say they just can"t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days
than workers in any other country surveyed.
     The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40%
plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.
     Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can"t find time to use them
all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.
     British workers have the longest working week in Europe (欧洲), with 23 vacation days-the shortest
vacation. So they feel overworked. 75% say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40% would
sacrifice a day"s pay (工资) for one more vacation day. 1. How many vacation days do Americans have on average each year in fact? A. 9
B. 12

阅读下面的短文，完成测试任务。

1. The weather report, a story about the Pop stars and different cultures are examples of messages from the
media. Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can
reach many people at once are called mass media.
2. It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds
of them. Think about ads, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Ads are
important messages. Even though they sometimes make us feel rather angry, they help us know things well.
3. Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how
you learn about news and events. Do you learn them from other people or the media? What about international
news? What is the most important place of information for you? People who are asked this question usually
answer, "Television."
4. Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you
read ads on billboards on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather report or the sports news on the radio
this morning? Now you are reading, and that"s to say you"re getting information through a very important
medium of mass.
5. The mass media are important to us because they shape our decisions and opinions.
注：(1) media 传媒 (2) mass media 大众传媒 (3) billboards 露天广告 (4) shape 影响

     Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it,
while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
     To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also
need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That"s why dry deserts
everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
     Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow
on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of
the stones to grow in. Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
     What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass,
will grow in sand, but most plants won"t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each
day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

1. According to the passage, plants need ______ things to grow well.

A. two
B. three
C. four
D. five

2. What does the underlined word "cracks" mean in the text?

A. 缝隙
B. 表面
C. 夹层
D. 底部

3. From the passage, we can know it is for plants to grow in dry places.

A. easy
B. difficult
C. impossible
D. important

4. The reason why most plants can"t grow on the sandy beach is that _______.

A. there isn"t enough sunlight
B. there is too much water
C. it is too crowded there
D. it has little food for plants

5. The passage can most probably be found in a ______ book.

A. science
B. history

任务型阅读。请根据短文内容，完成下列任务。

     When you are worried or stressed, what do you do about it?
     These days, a student website in Foshan opened for kids to let their anger and stress out. Students can
write whatever they want online.
    Lots of students wrote their stories. Some wrote something about their teachers. Others wrote about
their quarrels with their classmates. Many of them used ① words. Some even wrote down the real names
of their targets.
     Parents don"t like the idea. They said it could be against the law. Ms Cheng is the mother of a Junior 2
boy. She said she wouldn"t let her son write on the Internet. "Saying bad things about others won"t help
solve the problem. Children should talk to their parents," she said.
     Ren Yi, 16, from Liaoning, said he didn"t agree with using bad words either. But he said releasing stress
online wasn"t a bad thing. "You don"t have to use your real name. ② knows you. You can let out as much
as you want," he said.
     Song Yinan, 14, from Shanxi thinks it has two sides. The good side is if others see your story, they may
give you help. But the bad side is that if kids don"t control themselves, things could become worse.
注：(1) stressed 有压力的 (2) targets 目标 (3) law法律 (4) release 释放
