Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
小题1: Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A．They thought spinach made them strong.	B．They thought Popeye was funny.
C．Spinach had a lot of iron.	D．People liked folic acid.

小题2: A research group told people that spinach____.

A．made Popeye strong

B．was a green vegetable

C．had less iron than other green vegetables

D．had more iron than other green vegetables

小题3:The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from____.

A．iron

B．folic acid

C．spinach

D．exercise

小题4:Folic acid is ____.

A．something in food

B．a vegetable

D．a certain kind of spinach

Britain’s symbolic red phone boxes have become out of date in the age of the mobile, but villages across the country are stepping in to save them, with creative intelligence. Whether as a place to exhibit art, poetry, or even as a tiny library, hundreds of phone boxes have been given a new life by local communities determined to preserve a typical part of British life. In Waterperry, a small village near Oxford, the 120 residents have filled the phone box next to the old house with a pot of flowers, piles of gardening and cooking magazines, and stuck poems on the walls.
They took control of the phone box when telecoms operator BT said it was going to pull it down, an announcement that caused such dissatisfaction that one local woman threatened to chain herself to the box to save it. “I’d have done it, “ insisted Kendall Turner. “It would have been heartbreaking for the village. “ Local councilor Tricia Hallam, who came up with the idea for the phone box’s change, said quite a few people would have joined her, adding, “ We couldn’t let it go because it’s a British symbol.”
Only three feet by three feet wide, and standing 2.51-meter tall, the phone boxes were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1936 for the 25^th anniversary of the reign of King George V. Painted in “Post Office red” to match the post boxes, they were once a typical image of England and the backdrop(背景) to millions of tourist photographs.
Eight years ago there were about 17,000 across Britain, but today, in a country where almost everybody has a mobile phone, 58 percent are no longer profitable and ten percent are only used once a month. “On average, maintaining them costs ￡800 a year per phone box-about ￡44 million annually,” said John Lumb, general manager for BT Payphones.
小题1:Some red phone boxes in Britain have been used for ____.
a. selling flowers b. cooking c. reading d. exhibiting art or poetry

A．a, b

B．c, d

C．a,b,c

D．b,c,d

小题2:Why do the villagers want to keep the red phone boxes?

A．Because millions of people visit Britain to see the red phone boxes.

B．Because the local people could earn a lot of money from the red phone boxes.

C．Because the red phone boxes have already become a symbol of Britain.

D．Because the red phone boxes may be useful for some people in emergency.

小题3:What is the color of the British post boxes according to the passage?

A．Green

B．Red

C．Black

D．Yellow

小题4:What is John Lumb’s attitude towards pulling down the red phone boxes?

A．supportive

B．Opposed

C．Neutral

D．Indifferent.

America, has always had people of many different nationalities and languages. The 1990 census (人口普查) indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English language at home. Yet only 3% reported that they spoke English “not well” or “not at all ”. That means that slightly more than one out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students-

--and even some elementary school students---are required to take a foreign language. Actually, a growing number of Americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of using different languages.
Ethnic enclaves (少数民族聚居地) have preserved the language and culture of American immigrants. Some local residents can function quite well in their native language, without having to bother learning English. Regions such as southern Florida and the Southwest have numerous Spanish-speaking neighborhoods. In fact, Spanish speakers---numbering over 17

million---form the largest non-English linguistic group in America. But Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Polish and many other ethnic group add to the linguistic flavor of America. Foreign languages are so commonly used in some ethnic neighborhoods that visitors might think they are in another country!
Although some Americans welcome this linguistic and cultural diversity, others have begun to fear that the English language is being threatened. Since the 1980s, the “English Only ” movement has sought to promote legislation (立法) which would establish English as the “official language” and restrict the use of non-English language. However, some groups, including TESOL, the organization for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other language, object to such “language restrictionism”. But so far, 19 states have passed “English Only” legislation, and the topic is the focus of an ongoing debate.
Whether or not English is the official language of the United States, it remains the “language of wider communication”. Nearly everyone recognizes the need to develop the ability in using English in order to do well in America. American also recognize that English is the international language, and people with good English skills can get by in many international settings. On the other hand, in a world growing increasingly smaller, second language skills can be a great favor. They can build cross-cultural bridges and give people an edge in a variety of career field. Indeed, lack of foreign language skill can limit one’s chances for advancement and keep one in a cultural dead-end street.
小题1: Ethnic groups have preserved their native languages because ______.

A．their native languages are commonly used in their neighborhoods

B．ethnic groups are not allowed to speak English

C．ethnic groups can do very well in their native languages

D．ethnic groups don’t allow their natives to learn English

小题2:The underlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A．being able to speak two languages	B．being able to speak one language
C．being able to speak different languages	D．being able to speak many foreign languages

小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about “English Only” movement?

A．Its purpose was to establish a legislation of restricting the use of English.

B．TESOL was in favor of “English Only ” by objecting to “English plus”.

C．It was launched because English was being threatened.

D．A large majority of American states support the movement.

小题4:What can be the best title of this passage?

A．The English Only Movement	B．Learn to speak English
C．English---an International Language	D．Being Bilingual
