阅读理解。     When the Japanese attacked America"s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941,they did it secretly. The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.
     The noise about Pearl Harbor,made by Disney,has reached its highest point with its premiere (首次公演) before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend,a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
     As Ben Affleck is the main star,the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.
At almost three hours in length,it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie. There is a love story. Affleck and his co－star,Josh Hartnett,both fall in love with the navy nurse,Kate Beckinsale and,of course,there is much human courage and love of country.
     It"s certain that Disney will be accused of "changing" history.The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.
     Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie.It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan"s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor.It is said he did nothing,as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.
     Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities (暴行).And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan,where it has a theme park.
     Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise.A reviewer for Newsweek,who was given an early preview,acknowledged that the 40－minute sequence (连续镜头) showing the attack itself was powerful.The attack comes quite late in the movie,however,and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.
     "Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie," the reviewer wrote.1. From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to________.A.the day the United States was founded
B.the day people remember their ancestors
C.a day people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ
D.a day people remember those who died in wars2. From the passage we know that Ben Affleck________.A.regarded Josh Hartnett as an enemy

阅读理解。     Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in
Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their
interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive
designs. There are 100, 000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto
a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.

appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting
cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap
hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there
is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4, 000 pounds.

阅读理解。     Generally there are two ways to name typhoons；the number-based method and the
list-based method. Following the number-based method,typhoons are coded with various
types of numbers such as a 4-digit or a 6-digit code. For example,the 14th typhoon in
2003 can be labeled either as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The disadvantage of
this method,however,is that a number is hard to remember. The list-based method,on the
other hand,is based on the list of typhoon names chosen in advance by a committee,and is
more widely used.
     At the very beginning, only female names were used because at that time typhoons were
named after girlfriends of wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979,however,male names
were also included because women protested against the original naming practice for reasons
of gender(性别)equality.
     In Asia,Western names were need until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian
names to raise Asians" awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool
consisting of 140 names,10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its
unique naming preferences. Korea and Japan favor animal names and China likes names of gods
such as Longwang(dragon king)and Fengshen(god of the wind).
     After the 140 names are all used in order,they will be recycled. But the names can be changed.
If a member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon,it can request that the name of
the typhoon be deleted from the list at the annual committee meeting. For example,the names of
Nabi by South Korea,and Longwang by China were replaced with other names in 2007. The
deletion of both names was due to the severs damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.1. With the number-based method,the 3rd typhoon in 2012 can be named        .A. Typhoon 0314
B. Typhoon 0312
C. Typhoon 201214
D. Typhoon 12032. In 1979 male names began to be used for typhoons because          .A. men thought it was their right
B. female names are hard to remember
C. women thought it unequal to use only female names
D. the experts preferred to have more variety3. There are            Chinese names in the name pool for typhoons.A. 2
B. 10
C. 14
D. 1404. Which of the following Chinese names is most likely to be on the name list now?A. Longwang
B. Fengshen
C. Daxiang(elephant)
D. Mayi(ant)5. This passage is mainly about           .A. how typhoons are named
B. Why to name typhoons
C. the history of typhoons
D. equality between men and women

阅读理解。     The Beijing Hutong (old lane) areas have a very special and important position in the rich history and
culture of Beijing. While visiting the Beijing Hutong, you can appreciate the dramatic changes that the rest
of Beijing has undergone. You can see evidence of the history of Beijing, experience the old way of life
and experience traditional Beijing culture.
     The Beijing Hutong is made up of lanes or alleys formed by lines of pre-modern quadrangles (siheyuan), four-sided dwelling compounds or quadrangles consist of one-story courtyard houses, which make up old Beijing, and feature typical Chinese residential architecture.
     Beijing road classification was once s follow: A 36-foot-wide road was called a standard, street, an
18-foot-wide one was a small street and a 9-foot-wide lane was named a hutong. In fact, the Beijing
Hutongs are unclassifiable by the traditional standard, ranging from 40 centimeters to 10 feet in width. The
longest hutong has more than 20 turns. It is easy to get lost in the maze of winding lanes hat is the hutong, with the gray-tiled houses and deep alleys crossing each other, all identical in appearance, with many blind hutongs or culdesacs.
     Hutongs were first named as such in the Yuan Dynasty(1271-1368), with its Mongolian rulers having
an influence on the Chinese language. However, siheyuan or quadrangles have probably been around
much longer. The name of a hutong represents its origin, location or history. It is in the gray-tiled deep
lanes that families play, travel, buy goods, gossip and connect. In beijingers"eyes, hutong means a period
of history, a cordial lifestyle and even an "encyclopedia (百科全书) of Beijing".
     When urban construction threatens the existence of these hutongs, Beijingers become worried. Beijing
still has about 400 000 residential quadrangles now, mainly distribute over the East, West, Xuanwu and
Chongwen districts. The municipal government has marked a number of these compounds for protection.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
1. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to__________.
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
2. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that__________.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches B. too many words are of no use C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
3. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits. C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other" s languages.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences. C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.
5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. I talked too much in the speech, which surprised the audience. B. Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences. C. There is no way to overcome cultural differences. D. Different cultures have difference in relationship building.
