阅读理解。     People drink tea in a lot of countries in the world. But tea doesn"t mean the same thing to everyone. In
different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
     In China, people always drink tea when they are getting together. The Chinese drink it at any time of
the day at home or in teahouses. They prefer plain tea, with nothing else in it.
     Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is "tea time". Almost everyone
has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also
eat cakes and cookies at tea time. This is so-called "afternoon tea" in England.
     In America, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to
make tea. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea-"iced tea". Sometimes they drink iced tea from
cans (金属罐). 1. The Chinese like drinking tea ____.    A. alone
    B. only in the afternoon
    C. when people get together
    D. with sugar in it 2. In England tea time is ____.

    A. during breakfast
    B. between meals
    C. the late afternoon
    D. the early morning

3. The underlined phrase "plain tea " means ____.    A. 可乐茶
    B. 冰茶
    C. 苏打茶
    D. 清茶

阅读理解。     In the 13th century, the famous Indian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. He saw
many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In western
countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to
use paper money in the 7th century.
    A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He
took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made
them into a book.
    Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much
paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper.
This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree
to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
     So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are
making notes. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and paper ones. When we go shopping, we
can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and refuse(拒绝)
it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it
now, before it is too late.
1. When he was in China, Marco Polo ________ .
A. discovered Cai Lun invented paper
B. learned to make paper
C. saw many wonderful things
D. read a lot of books
2. People in western countries first used paper money in the ________ century.

3. About ________ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city.
A. 1,700
B. 2,000
C. 2,800
D. 48,000
4. Which of the following is the way of saving paper?
A. To use both sides of every piece of paper.
B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
C. To use cotton handkerchiefs and paper ones.
D. All of the above.
5. Which is the best title(题目)of the passage?

阅读理解。                                                 British English and American English
     A student is studying British English. He wonders: Can I have a talk with Americans? Can they catch
me? Learners of English often ask--what are the differences between British English and American
English? How important are these differences?
     Certainly, there are some differences between British English and American English. There are a few
differences in grammar（语法）. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have
you a pen?” Americans “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation (发音) is sometimes
different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “car”and “farm”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour” are British English spellings. “Color” and
"honor” are American English spellings.
     These differences are in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary. However, they are not
important. For the most part, British English and American English are the same language.1. In American English, we can say, "                 ? " A. Have you a new book

任务型阅读。     In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she
teaches something behind—the culture (文化 ) of the country.
     In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to (注意)personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There
is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages (鼓励)personal thought ( 思想 ). The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer
and not only to get the correct answer.
     In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason,
the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan
often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often
very traditional.The teacher says,and the students listen.There is not much discussion.Instead,the students
repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
     In many ways these differences come from educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught
to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian( 亚洲 ) countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is pass knowledge ( 知识 ) to students.
1. Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?
_________________________________________________
2. In which country there is often discussion in the classroom, America or Japan?
_________________________________________________
3. What does the education in the United States encourage?
_________________________________________________
4. Which does the education in some Asian countries pay more attention to, group goals or personal
ideas?
_________________________________________________
5. Put the sentence "In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is pass
knowledge to students." into Chinese.
