It marks the unofficial end of summer and a traditional signal that school is about to start. But now public schools often begin sometime during August. They have different reasons for starting early. The Tucson Unified School District in Arizona began classes on August eleventh. Communications Director Chyrl Hill Lander says the earlier start time makes it possible for students to take semester（学期） exams before winter vacation in December. She says the school district also wants to follow a calendar similar to that of the nearby University of Arizona. Many schools in Virginia still open the day after Labor Day. But the public schools in Montgomery County, in the southwestern part of Virginia, began classes on August twentieth. Human Resources Director Mark Pashier says his county has been opening schools in August for at least the past eight years. The main reason, he says, is the tests that schoolchildren in Virginia take every spring. School officials want the students to have the most time to prepare for them - which means starting the year before Labor Day. 6.When is the American Labor Day? 答案：the first Monday in September 7.

They can do many activities outside, like playing sports and swimming at the beach or the pool. They like the sunshine during the day and the warm summer nights. People have written and recorded hundreds of songs about summer. These are some of our favorites. One of the most famous songs about summer is from George Gershwins opera “Porgy and Bess.“ He wrote the music in nineteen thirty-five. The opera takes place in the southern United States. It opens with these words: “Summertime and the livin is easy. Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high.“ Leontyne Price sings the song. The nineteen fifties and sixties produced many songs about teenagers enjoying their summer vacation from school. The songs are about having fun, swimming in the ocean, driving in cars.

But some people get deep into debt. And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt. In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision (监督)of the credit card industry. Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. They offer economic power at a price. In two thousand four, Americans had about eight hundred billion dollars in credit card debt. Now they owe about nine hundred sixty-eight billion. The average interest rate on those cards is currently thirteen and a half percent. Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credits markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts. The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.（199 words） 6.What is a credit card? 答案：a card which you can use to buy things and pay for it later 7. What is NOT true about credit cards? 答案：They can increase peoples economic power. 8. What is the average interest rate on credit cards in America? 答案：13.50% 9. Late payments for credit cards can bring profit to _. 答案：banks 10. According to the passage, who can reduce peoples credit limits? 答案：the government Passage 2 Scientists in the United States have developed a method that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits. Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people. But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earths surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine. Fenglin Niu is a seismologist（地震学家）with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along Californias San Andreas Fault（断层）, an area famous for its many earthquakes. The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earths surface. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic（地震的） waves travel faster than usual through the rock. （203 words） 11. The method developed by some scientists in the United States can be used to _. 答案:predict an earthquake 12. Why did the earthquake which hit southwestern China in May cause so many deaths? 答案：Both A and B. 13. What is Californias San Andreas Fault famous for? 答案：Earthquakes 14.

Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.“ “I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,“ the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.“ He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？“ The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However，in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.“ And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up. The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?“ they exclaimed. “But thats a simple thing.“ “Oh, no，its not, “the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether its winter or summer？“（271 words） 6. The underlined word “thermos“ in Chinese means “ _ “. 答案：保温瓶 7.

The third man was not very clever because _. 答案：he did not understand how a thermos works Passage 2 Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues for a meal at home. You should not be upset (心烦意乱) if your English friends dont invite you home. It doesnt mean they dont like you. Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. Its polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present. Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember-not to ask how much things cost. Youll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a “starter“ (第一道菜), then youll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食), followed by coffee. Its polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone does. Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people usually ask, “Do you mind if I smoke here?“ Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you“ letter. Perhaps it seems funny to you, but British and American people say, “thank you, thank you, and thank you.“ all the time. 11. If your English or American friends dont invite you to dinner at home, _. 答案：it doesnt show they dont like you 12. When you are invited to go to your friends home, _. 答案：you may take an expensive present with you 13. In England and America, its not polite to _. 答案：ask the price of a thing 14.
