阅读理解。      Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules...planning your next
move...acting as a team member...these are all "game" ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
      Think about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek.
Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas
that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking
turns and cooperating (合作).
      Many children"s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for
work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which
sharpens the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
      Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring
athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave
flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries
experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
      Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all
continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has
discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not
only soccer balls but also a promising future.
       Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and
whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 1. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _____. [     ]
A. be a team leader
B. obey the basic rules
C. act as a grown-up
D. predict possible danger 2. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can _____. [     ]
A. describe life in an exciting way
B. turn real-life experiences into a play
C. make learning life skills more interesting
D. change people"s views of sporting events 3. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging? [     ]
A. It inspires people"s deep love for the country.
B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D. It earns the winners fame and fortune. 4. Iribarne"s goal of forming the foundation is to _____. [     ]
A. bring fun to poor kids
B. provide soccer balls for children
C. give poor kids a chance for a better life
D. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids 5. What can be inferred from the passage? [     ]
A. Games benefit people all their lives.
B. Sports can get all athletes together.
C. People are advised to play games for fun.
D. Sports increase a country"s competitiveness.

举一反三

阅读理解。      It is possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick. It has seven steps.
      First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write
down 73.
      Next, double it. In other words, multiply it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example,
if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you"d get 151.
      So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five.
      Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you"ll get 7550.
      The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you"re 26 years old, you should add 26 to this
total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you"ll get 7576.
      Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576
is 7941.
      The seventh and final step is this: subtract 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941
minus 615 is 7326.
      The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the
number is the age of the person. That is, 73 is the address that we started with, and 26 is the age that we
used.
      If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result. 1. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85? [     ]
A. 1685
B. 8516
C. 8165
D. 1658 2. What"s the correct match for"multiply, plus, and minus"? [     ]
A. "×, ＋, and－"
B. "÷, －, and ＋"
C. "×, －, and＋"
D. "÷, ＋, and－" 3. How can your age number appear at the last part of the result? [     ]
A. It"s really a trick.
B. By taking all the steps except Step2 and Step 3.
C. By taking Step 6and Step 7.
D. By taking all the steps. 4. What"s the secret of the trick? [     ]
A. It"s impossible to know.
B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式):your address number ×2×50.
C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365－615=your
     age number.
D. Both B and C.

阅读理解。      If there is one thing I"m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading
newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from
television or radio or the Internet. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading
a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
      The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big
political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.
I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It"s already happening in areas that may
directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage
of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain
operates and what our feelings really are.
      It"s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from
Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I"m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You
will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things
you want to read-sports and international news, etc.
      I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).
They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but
that hasn"t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost
in the air. And as for the Internet, it"s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 1. What is the best title for the passage? [     ]
A. The Best Way to Get News
B. The Changes of Media
C. Make Your Own Newspaper
D. The Future of Newspaper 2. In the writer"s opinion, in the future, _____. [     ]
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV 3. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself? [     ]
A. Sports and international news.
B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news.
D. What you are interested in. 4. From the passage, we can infer _____. [     ]
A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C. television will take the place of newspaper
D. the writer believe some media will die out 5. The phrase "feed off" in the last paragraph means _____. [     ]

A. depend on
B. match with
C. fight with
D. kill off

阅读理解。      I started teaching English abroad when I was 22, soon after I graduated from university. I"m 35 now and
have been doing it ever since. If you want to travel the world, there"re a few ways to earn money while you
do so. You can pick fruit, pull pints or teach English. The third one has definitely suited me best. I taught in
Russia, Argentina, Spain and Slovakia and stayed an average of two years in each country.
      Our flat is in the Sanlitun area, not far from the main football stadium, and I work at various schools in
the city. The demand for English language teachers is staggering. Basically, if a Chinese person wants a job
with an international company such as Hewlett Packard, then English is a must.
      In China there"s no shortage of work, though the pay can vary. If you teach English as a second language
at an international school, you can earn 22,000 yuan a month, about ￠2,200 or￡1,500. If you"re short of
cash, you can always do a bit of extra private tuition, which pays really well-about ￡30 an hour.
      The best thing about Beijing is that you aren"t going to be lonely. There"s a huge expat (侨民) community
here, mostly based in Sanlitun and growing all the time. I don"t know my way around Dublin or London very
well, but I can tell you Beijing is the restaurant capital of the world. 1. Why did the author stay in Beijing to teach English? [     ]
A. He wanted to make a fortune.
B. Beijing made a good impression on him.
C. He wanted to live in China for ever.
D. He wanted to travel around the world. 2. The underlined word "staggering" in Paragraph 2 means "____". [     ]
A. very weak
B. often changing
C. great
D. unsteady 3. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ____. [     ]
A. often felt lonely in Sanlitun
B. was satisfied with living in China
C. was very familiar with Dublin
D. liked Chinese restaurants best

Foods from Around the World Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. Here are four people"s experiences with foreign food. Shao Wong is a student in France. He comes from China. "I"d never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I sampled cheese too, but couldn"t manage more than one bite. I love ice cream, though, and that"s made from milk." Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. "I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish, and I heard some other customers order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is an Australian term for shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake." Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She originates from India. "I"m frightened of eating new foods because they might be made from beef. I"m a Hindu, and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow. It"s a sacred animal to Hindus, so that"s the reason I can"t eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs." Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. "My friends gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn"t like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren"t really very old. Even so, I absolutely refused to touch them." Life in a new country can be scary, but it also can be fun. Would you sample a 100-year-old egg? Would you order shark in a restaurant?

A. He is a French-Chinese. B. Cattle are seldom raised in his hometown. C. He doesn"t like any diary products. D. He didn"t taste cheese because he hated it.

[ ]
A. Religious. B. Brave. C. Confident. D. Open- minded.
3. Chandra is frightened of eating food made from beef, because _____.
[ ]
A. It"s against Hindus" religion. B. She is a doctor and she thinks beef is not easy to chew and digest. C. She is an Indian. D. Hindus think beef is not tasty.
4. The underlined word "Sacred" in paragraph 4 means _____.
[ ]
A. frightening B. large C. man-eating D. greatly respected
5. What can you infer from this passage?
[ ]
A. Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. B. Despite (虽然) cultural differences in food, have a try and maybe you"ll get used to it. C. A vacation is a good way to learn about new foods. Be sure to go on vacation more often. D. People dislike eating new foods only because their religion forbids it.
