举一反三
The royal family is a part of British history and cultural identity.
Up until the 17th century, people believed that the British king or queen had a “divine(天赐的)right” to rule. This was the idea that God chose the king or queen and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea was challenged during the English Civil War, when King Charles the First was put in prison and then killed in 1649.
So what role does the British royal family have today?
The Queen is head of the UK and the Commonwealth. She has important formal duties that go with her different titles. As Head of State, for example, she represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK；as Head of the Armed Forces in name, only she can declare when the UK is at war or when a war is over. She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day.
Although the royal family does the work for the UK, there are British people called“anti-monarchists(反君主制者)”who do not believe there should be a royal family. One criticism(批评意见)is that the British people should not have to pay for the royal family with their taxes(税).
Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant(相关的)in the modern world. The Queen still gives a speech to the nation on television at Christmas, but it gets less and less formal every year；now it is even available as a podcast(播客).
In 2005, after graduating from university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many ordinary young British people do in their gap years.
小题1:What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?| A．The British king or queen is considered above the law. | | B．The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649. | | C．The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right. | | D．The royal family didn’t play an important role in Britain in the 17 th century. |
小题2:Which of the following is among the formal duties of the Queen? | A．Traveling around the UK. | | B．Declaring when the world is at war. | | C．Inviting other leaders to have dinner with her. | | D．Signing Commonwealth documents every day. |
小题3:With the example of Prince William in the last paragraph, the author intends to show that .| A．Prince William is very popular in the UK | | B．the royal family is trying to connect better with ordinary people | | C．Prince William has made an effort to win young people’s admiration | | D．many young British people do voluntary work |
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. | A．the royal family doesn’t have to pay taxes | | B．the British people are all in favor of the royal family | | C．the British people can talk to the Queen through a podcast | | D．the royal family attacks republicans through media and press |

Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor , he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.
小题1:We can learn from this passage that Americans ______.| A．spend a lot of money traveling by car | B．travel a lot in their cars | | C．seldom travel by plane | D．use public traffic often |
小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?| A．In the United States even the poor own cars. | | B．In the United States all the poor have no cars. | | C．When an American has a car, he will never be poor. | | D．An American will feel poor unless he has a car. |
小题3:In the writer’s opinion, cars are popular in the United States mainly because ___.| A．Americans like to plan their own time | | B．The United States does not have enough public transportation | | C．Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars | | D．Americans cannot move around without their own cars |
小题4:“A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _______.| A．everyone in the United States owns a car | | B．the United States produces most of the cars in the world | | C．cars play an important part in American’ life | | D．the United States depend on car industry for its development |

MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents" worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.（数字时代）
For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, afterschool jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don"t have all the phone numbers of all my acquaintances （熟人）. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace.” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a sixteen year old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.
“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace，” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研讨会)．The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It"s like a free checklist（清单）for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.
小题1:From the passage we can learn that MySpace ________.| A．brings about the generation gap | | B．is very careful about people"s privacy | | C．encourages you to list your personal information | | D．lists the telephone numbers of your friends |
小题2:Why are some parents against MySpace?| A．Because MySpace has a bad influence on their children. | | B．Because they don"t want to pay so much money for MySpace. | | C．Because it takes up too much of their children"s spare time. | | D．Because troublemakers can easily approach their children through the site. |
小题3:The writer"s attitude towards MySpace is ________.| A．negative | B．positive | C．optimistic | D．objective |
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?| A．Internet safety | B．MySpace | C．Generation gap | D．The digital era |

Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves.
Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-It-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-It-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.
小题1:Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?| A．Because they could not do it themselves. | | B．Because professional workers were very cheap. | | C．Because they had no time. | | D．Because professional workers could do much better. |
小题2:Thirty years later what changes took place?| A．People could do everything themselves. | | B．Few people chose to be a professional worker. | | C．People with no professional training successfully built their own houses. | | D．New expensive materials required no skills at all. |
小题3:What caused the DIY craze?| A．Young people liked to follow the fashion. | | B．“Do-It-Yourself” is a booming business. | | C．There were fewer building companies. | | D．High cost of professional workers. |
小题4:What is the speaker telling us ?| A．How DIY comes into being. | B．Changes in building. | | C．Changes in housing. | D．Great changes in these thirty years. |

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.
You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect(消毒) the tub immediately afterward.
Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw(生的) meat because it can carry germs(细菌) that cause serious illness.
And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.
Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.
Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned(被抛弃的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.| A．be great friends | B．bring us pleasure | | C．help us keep healthy | D．do harm to us |
小题2:To keep healthy, the author may be against ______. | A．washing your fingernails after touching your pet | | B．wearing gloves when cleaning your pet’s cage | | C．washing your pet in the bathtub | | D．bringing your pet for examinations regularly |

小题4:Which is the RIGHT way to feed your pet?| A．Sharing your chocolate with your dog. | | B．Letting your dog drink from the toilet. | | C．Feeding your little cat with raw meat. | | D．Giving your cat cooked fish. |
