阅读理解。     For centuries, the body"s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no
human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer.For example, the police are searching
for a cold-blooded killer.He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone"s life as
nothing.
    Cold can affect other parts of the body.The expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or
your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do.For example, you
agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and
all the work of the organizations will be your responsibility.You are likely to get cold feet about being
president when you understand the situation.
     The expression "give someone the cold shoulder" probably comes from the physical act of turning
your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face.You may give a cold shoulder to a
friend who has not kept a promise he made to you.Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love
or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be
cold-hearted.Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in
recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the
hearts of their lovers.
     "Out in the cold" means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that
everybody but him got a pay raise--he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be. 1. When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by "_____".A. I give him the cold shoulder
B. I think he is a cold-blooded man
C. I think he is a cold fish
D. I"m likely to get cold feet       2. If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will
    say ______.A. she is a cold-blooded killer
B. she gets cold feet
C. she is a cold fish
D. she is out in the cold 3.We can use the expression "_____" to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.A. cold-blooded
B. cold shoulder
C. cold feet
D. cold-hearted  4.The topic of this passage is about _____.A. the relationship between cold and our body
B. some expressions about friendship
C. some expressions connected with cold
D. how cold weather comes into being

完形填空。     "All men are created equal" is one idea that nearly every American would agree upon.  1 they
sometimes betray the idea in their daily lives, they have a deep faith  2  in some fundamental way no one
is born superior to anyone else.
     In the early years of American history, because titles of nobility (贵族) were forbidden, no  3  class
system developed in the United States. Firmly believing that being born into a lower class would not  4
them from success and they would have a better chance in Americ

a, thousands of immigrants   5  to leave
the European societies, where their   6 in life was determined  7  by the social class into which they were
born. It was because the dreams of many of there immigrants were   8  in their new country, though there
might be  9  in some situations, that Americans came to believe in equality of opportunity.
     Americans do not mean that everyon

e should be  10  equal when they say they believe in equality of
opportunity.  11  , they do mean that each person should have an equal chance for success. Abraham
Lincoln once said, "We wish to  12  the humblest (最微贱的) man an equal chance to get rich with
everybody else. When one starts poor, free society is  13  that he knows he can   14  his condition."
     However, competition is the price to be   15   for his equality of opportunity. Americans match their
energy and intelligence against that of others in a competitive contest for success, because they believe
competition  16  the best in any person. Indeed, the pressure of competition causes an American to be
  17  , but it also places a constant emotional stress on him. In fact, in a society that gives so much  18
to those "winners",   19  does not compete successfully for whatever reason never 20  into it as well as
those who do.

     For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church
and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the
people gather together to socialize and exchange news.
     As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites.
The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called "The Old Trip to Jerusalem", which
dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.
     However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and
parts of society. On a cold night, the pub"s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by
the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
     That"s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to
spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
     This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to
stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of
drinking a lot very quickly is known as "binge drinking", and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.
     In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer
something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be "Working Men"s Clubs", meaning that women could
not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any
problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.

1. The passage mainly tells us something about ______.

A. the past and present of British pubs
B. the decline of British pubs
C. the long history of British pubs
D. the importance of British pubs

2. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?

A. The credit crunch.
B. The present closing time.
C. The ban of smoking.
D. Having no spare money.

3. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. British people used to like drinking slowly
B. closing the pubs early will reduce social problems
C. binge drinking means drinking less beer
D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking

4. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _______.

A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs
B. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs
C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems
D. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need

     Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all !It speaks    1    than words.
According to specialists, our bodies send out more  2   than we realize. In fact, non-verbal (非语言)
communication takes up about 50% of what we really 3 .And body language is particularly  4 when
we attempt to communicate across cultures.Indeed, what is called body language is so  5 ,a part of us

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru"s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence - other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Nauru"s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it moves the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem - their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
1. What might be the author"s purpose in writing the text?
A. To seek help for Nauru"s problems. B. To give a warning to other countries C. To show the importance of money D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
2. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful B. Modern and open C. Peaceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive
3. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining C. farming activity D. whale hunting
4. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru"s financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money B. It spent too much repairing the island C. Its phosphate mining cost much money D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
5. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair. B. The leaders will take the experts" words seriously. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans D. The phosphate mines were destroyed

One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used. This was a huge task.,so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as "Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,"" 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff"s most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum (精神病院) for the Criminally insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
