When I first saw the book Alice in Lace, I thought I was going to like it. And as it turned out, I love it! I love books about life and being a kid. And Alice in Lace is just that kind. It’s a humorous book about being thirteen and the problems kids might face. Alice and her friends get a strange assignment from their totally cool teacher, Mr. Everett. It was like playing the game of “Life,” but you had to act it out.
So Pamela is pregnant, Elizabeth buys a car and Alice gets married. Well, of course, Pamela wasn’t really pregnant, but she walked around with a pillow under her shirt to get people’s reactions. Elizabeth didn’t really buy a car, but she went to the car lot and made the sales guy think she was. The whole class got assignments like these! I would love to do something like that for school.
In the book Alice has a lot to think about. “Getting married is hard!” Alice says. She has to plan the ceremony, the honeymoon, find a place to live, pay for furniture and two months’ rent and food. Maybe she and her “husband” could work it out — if they were getting on fine!
Although this book was funny, it really made me think about how problems like these could really mess up your life. Take teenage pregnancy for example. How could you have a baby and stay in school? You couldn’t find a babysitter every day to stay with your kid. A child really consumes your life. I understand what the teacher was trying to do. He was trying to discourage the class from getting into these problems by giving them a glimpse of life. As someone about to become a teenager myself, I can say sometimes a story makes you think about what’s up ahead.
Overall, I would say this book is wonderful. My favorite part of the book is discovering that if I like it, there are seven other Alice books I can check out at my local library. I love this book, and I hope you will too.
小题1:We can infer from the passage that Pamela, Elizabeth and Alice _______.| A．turn out to be the author’s classmates | | B．are characters in Alice in Lace | | C．get along quite well | | D．become dismissed from school |

“Slow City” — a recently launched project focused on preserving the traditional quality of life enjoyed in some of Italy’s smaller cities and towns. The project was born from the idea of the “Slow Food” movement — started in Italy in the 1980s — which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local, healthy products to fight against the American fast-food style.
“The American urban model has invaded our cities, making Italian towns look the same. We want to stop this kind of globalization,” says Paolo Saturnini, an Italian mayor.
The “Slow City” project plans to emphasize the rich, cultural, culinary(厨房的) and artistic local traditions of each community.
Walking areas will be enlarged and squares and parks will be made greener with more plants. Car alarms and other noise that disturbs the peace will be banned, and ugly TV aerials(天线), advertising posters, and signs will be taken down.
City councils will also insist on the use of recycling and renewable energy sources, and will also introduce ecological transport systems. Parking will be made stress-free by creating more public parking areas, and easily accessible walkways and bike lanes will cross the city. But in the “Slow City” way, all improvements will probably come about slowly.
Thirty-two Italian city councils, which joined the “Slow City” program, have decided to take further steps in this direction by increasing the numbers of traditional family-style eating establishments, reducing noise pollution, and concentrating on making their towns friendlier for people to live in.
Organic local produce will be promoted in all restaurants and genetically modified foods(转基因食品) will be banned. “We can’t stop large, fast-food chains from coming here, but we hope that people who come to our towns will not want to eat exactly the same hamburger they can eat in Melbourne, London or Paris, but want something genuine and different,” said Saturnini.
小题1:According to the passage, the “Slow City” project aims at _____.| A．preventing Italy from being affected by America | | B．beautifying the environment of small Italian cities and towns | | C．calling on Italians to enjoy stress-free life | | D．protecting the traditional Italian lifestyle |
小题2:From Paragraphs 4-5, we can infer that ______.| A．cars in “Slow City” will have to go slowly | | B．people can park their cars free of charge in “Slow City” | | C．“Slow City” will take on an environmentally friendly look | | D．advertising in “Slow City” will be banned |
小题3:Further measures will be included in the “Slow City” program EXCEPT _____.| A．cutting down noise pollution | | B．stop genetically modified foods | | C．getting more towns involved in the project | | D．building more family-style restaurants |
小题4:In Saturnini’s opinion, when traveling in “Slow Cities”, visitors_____.| A．aren’t provided with fast food | | B．will see few fast-food chains | | C．can enjoy themselves like in London | | D．can enjoy real Italian-style healthy food |

It may seem to be a hard task to trace back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with highly informal dance style. As far as the origin of rap music is concerned, most people agree that it is from Afro-American and Latino Street culture of New York City. Not only in this city but in the surrounding areas there is the influence of African people and their culture.
Rap is a vocal (口头的) style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in rhyme, generally to a beat. The term of rap music is the same with hip-hop music typically-consisting of a rhythmic vocal style called rap. If we see it carefully, then we will definitely notice that the music usually is sung at higher pitches (调). Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus. Though rap music was primarily an American music style with African influence over its music and lyrics, recently it has been spread to almost the entire world.
There is hardly any country or nation where rap music cannot be seen in some form or another, and it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters. However, when it comes to its history, it is believed that hip-hop or rap music started in the early 1970s，and gained much popularity throughout the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The history of rap music and hip-hop music is full of controversies (争议) and bans, as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime; even most famous pop stars and hip-hop musicians and singers were found to be associated with the controversies in their life. For that reason, no matter how popular this music style was or still is, it has always had a bad reputation in the eyes of mainstream society.
小题1:The passage is mainly about _____.| A．when rap music started | B．how rap music develops | | C．what rap music is like | D．why rap music is popular |
小题2:The characteristics of rap music are _____.| A．solo, rhymes，beats and pops | | B．speaking, rhythms，beats and solo | | C．repeating, speaking, pops and chorus | | D．speaking, rhymes, beats and chorus |
小题3:Rap music is now one of the music styles mostly run after by _____.| A．the teenagers in Africa | | B．all kinds of people in the world | | C．the youngsters all over the world | | D．the young people in the US |
小题4:Rap music is often not well thought of by the mainstream because _____.| A．it comes from the lower class | | B．it has a short history | | C．it is associated with crimes and drugs | | D．its music is full of controversies |

Every culture has it own ways to show friendship. On the island of Hawaii, friendship is part of the “aloha spirit”. In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago, aloha had a very special meaning. That is “to be with happiness”.
Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land, they are ready to love their people or community. This is the second most important thing of friendship. It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language, which means “oneness with all people”. To enjoy the land you should not be selfish. The land is for everyone who lives on. Today many different people call Hawaii their home. Indeed, Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities. Each person gives kokua(help) to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed that the islands can be a paradise(天堂) when people live in peace. People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea. When problems happen, people are asked to solve them with understanding. So when people of Hawaii talk about ohana(family), they are really talking about all those who live on the island.
Living in peace, Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship. This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another. The lei, a string of flowers, is put over a friend’s neck. Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek. Visitors to the islands are also given leis. When they hear aloha, visitors began to feel at home. Aloha also means “goodbye”, so visitors will hear it again when they leave. It can mean “our hearts singing together”. Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship.
小题1:Which of the following can be the proper title for this text?| A．People in Hawaii | B．Visitors to Hawaii | | C．Traveling in Hawaii | D．Friendship in Hawaii |
小题2:How do you understand the underlined sentence in the first paragraph ?| A．Happiness matters most for Hawaiians. | | B．Friendship is always together with happiness. | | C．Friendship is every thing in Hawaiian culture. | | D．Friendship has special meanings for Hawaiians. |
小题3:Which of the following proverb can best express the idea of friendship by Hawaiians?| A．Practice makes perfect. | | B．Love me, love my dog. | | C．A penny saved is a penny gained. | | D．An apple a day keeps a doctor away. |
小题4:Which of the following is a sign to show friendship by Hawaiians?| A．A warm handshake. | B．A kiss on the cheek. | C．A string of flowers. | D．A big hug. |
小题5:According to the text, which of the following Hawaiian word expresses more good wishes?| A．aloha | B． lokahi | C．kokua | D．ohana |
