阅读理解。     People who travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land,
sea or air.Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The
train will soon get crowded and dirty. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the joumey.
Reading may help you to kill time but soon the clicking on the rails will bring you to sleep. During
the day,sleep never lasts long. At night,when you really wish to go to sleep,you find you can hardly
manage to do so. If you are lucky to get a sleeping seat,you spend half the night looking at the small
blue light over your head,and when you finally arrive at the station,you are
so tired that you don"t want to leave.
     Long car joumeys are even less pleasant,for it is impossible even to read. On motorways, you
can, at least,travel fairly safely at high speeds,but more often,the greater part of the joumey is spent
on narrow,bumpy (崎岖不平的)  roads which are crowded with traffic.
     When travelling by sea,you have a different expe- rience. You can have a walk.on the board,
play games, swim,meet interesting people and enjoy good food,and of course,only when the sea is
calm. If it is not,you are likely to get seasick (晕船的) , and you will find no joumey can be worse
than that. Even if you travel in good weather,sea joumeys take a long time. Few people
would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure of travelling on a ship.
      Travelling by plane seems to be dangerous to some people,and,it is also the most expensive of
all travelling forms,though nothing can match planes for speed and comfort(舒服). Flying at a height
of 30 000 feet, far above the clouds,and at 500 miles an hour is a very exciting experience. The
joumey is  so  smooth(平稳的 )that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping.
However you decide to spend your time,one thing is certain:you will arrive at your destination fresh
and easy. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering(恢复)from a long and tiring journey.1. From the passage we can know that travelling by train              .A.is the most comfortable for passengers
B.is so slow and dirty that no one wants to take a train
C. seems to be very tiring and usually takes a long time
D. will keep you awake all the time2. What prevents people from travelling by plane?  A. Planes can be very dangerous.
B. You will feel sorry after travelling by air.
C. Flying so high brings no comfori.
D. Air travelling takes a long time.

3.In the writer"s opinion, .

A. you should never travel by train
B. travelling by air is the most comfortable
C. travelling by sea is the best form
D. car travelling is comfortable

     Travel has been a considerable part of my life and I have made different kinds of joumeys to
many parts of the world. Often in my travels,l was alone, traveling under difficult conditions in
wartime. And I have flown over the oceans many times when I wanted to get quickly from one
place to another. But a sea voyage,especially a long one,has some.thing unusual of its own,and
after taking a few of them,l became interested in the reasons why people take such trips and how
they are affected by them. That is why I wanted to write Life Number Two.
    Some people go for escape from grief or failure, some from a wish not to be very long iri one
place in the world. Others go to celebrate a marriage, or a retirement,and many people take voyages
to enjoy a luxury(享乐) they do not have at home and for shipboard fun. When you put all these
motives (动机)  into a forced companionship (伙伴关系 )  and sometimes an unpleasant one a
voyage can be like a mirror held up to modem  life with  all  its  variety (多样性 ) . Voyages can
be boring but they can give some passengers new view on life,renew courage and awaken a sense
of the size of the world.
     There are many books about ocean voyages,but as a rule they are magazines or diaries of travel.
Life Number Two is a novel written not mainly to show shipboard life but to tell the stories of a few
people on board,trying their past lives and their possible futures into the narratives(叙述).lt also deals
with some modem socialproblems worth our consideration.

1. The writer spent           in travelling. A. all his life
B. the most important part of life
C. the period of wartime
D. much time      ,2.Life Num,ber Two tells how people feel when they                A. are alone in their trips    .
B. fly quickly from one place to another
C. are on board a ship for a long time
D. are always in one place of the world    .3. A sea voyage in one"s life is           as the writer says.     A. sometimes a thing worth doing
B. a waste of time
C. a sign of failure
D. one"s strong wish4. The shipboard life is                  A. very Liresome
B. very luxurious
C. a reflection (反映) of society
D. very funny

     For the tenth and last time as Secretary General, I offer friends and colleagues around
the world my best wishes on United Nations Day. I have spent almost all my whole
professional life working for the United Nations-sothisday , andthevaluesthatstand for ,
willal-ways be special for me.
     Over the past ten years, we have made some big steps forward in our common struggle
for development, security and human rights. Aid and debt relief have increased , making
the world economy somewhat fairer. At last, the world is increasing its response to
HIV/AIDS. There are fewer wars between States than there used to be , and manycivil
warshaveended. Moregovernments are elected by, and accountable to the people
whom they govern. And all States have acknowledged, at least in words, their
responsibility to protect people from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and
crimes against humanity.
     But there is so much that still needs doing.
     The gap between rich and poor continues to grow.
Thenuclearnon-proliferationregime (核不扩散机制) requires urgent attention.
Terrorism and the reaction to it are spreading fear and suspicion. It seems we don"t
even agree which threats are most important. Those who live in small islands may
see global warming as the biggest danger. Those who live in a city that has suffered
terrorist attacks-likeNewYork , orMumbai, orIstanbul-may feel that confronting
terrorism is more urgent. Othersagainmaycitepoverty , disease , orgenocide. The
truth is , there are all global threats. All of us should be concerned about all of them.
Otherwise ,we may not succeed in dealing with any of them.
     At this time of all times. We cannot afford to be divided. I know that you, the people
of the world, understand this. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have
given me, throughout these ten difficult but exciting years.
      Please urge your leaders to work with my successor, and make the United Nations
ever stronger and more affective.
     Long live our planet, and its peoples!Long live the United Nations!

阅读理解     ""Mom, can I bake some bread?" We were 15; my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our
hands at creating some beautiful bread.
     "It"s not worth the trouble," my mother said. "It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery
bread is delicious without all that effort."
     Begging was useless. Mom"s "no" meant "No!"
     But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I
immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
     We studied the recipe. That was easy. "Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with
remaining sugar and salt."
     We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
     "Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it."
     We took turns working like that. "Is the dough "holding together"?" we asked each other.
     I remembered my neighbor"s instructions: "If it"s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water."
     We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
     "Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth," the recipe instructed.
     We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between
fingers. "Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for one hour."
     This was good news-we"d have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful
bread. "See?" we would tell my mom. "Isn"t it worth the work?"
     Hanna and I couldn"t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
     "Maybe something will happen in the hot oven," I said.
     Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
     Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do
it right.1. To the writer, what her mother said was _________.A. law
B. rubbish
C. advice
D. warning2. Which of the following can best describe the children"s feelings while making their first bread?

A. Confident; hopeful;proud
B. Curious; hopeful; disappointed
C. Interested; excited; satisfied
D. Worried; satisfied; proud

3. Which of the following did the writer do without referring to the instructions?A. Placed dough on floured surface.
B. Added eight cups of flour to eggs.
C. Returned dough to a cleaned bowl.
D. Placed the dough into the hot oven.4. The passage mainly tells us ___________.A. the process of making bread
B. the conflict between mother and daughter
C. the first experience of making bread
D. the way of doing housework
