It wasnt the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didnt understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.“Yes”, I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, thats nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But arent you a bit young?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her Ive arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There is a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Daisy explained the misunderstanding to me.“Dont worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. Youll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!”21. Where was the writer from?A. He was from France. B. He was from China.C. He was from England.D. He was from America. 22. The writer thought in America.A. the Americans might not understand himB. he would not understand the Americans C. he would have difficulties at the airport D. he wouldnt have any language difficulties23.

In the last paragraph the word “they” refers to .A. the French B. the old man and the boy C. the British D. the Americans BThe world celebrates Earth Day every year on April 22. But one school in Maryland tries to honor Earth Day every day. Children at that school love being outside in the open air, running after each other, sliding (滑动，移动)and swinging（摇摆，秋千） on playground equipment. And children at St. James Childrens School also have fun by observing（观察） worms and picking up trash in the school yard. Besides, they learn to save water and electricity. They also recycle and reuse things. And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school garden.Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth. She said, “If children learn it early on when they are younger, it will bee part of their daily lives. Its not something they have to think twice. It should be something that everyone does.”St. James children observe the growth of plants from seeds to sprouts（幼芽） in cups kept in the classroom. Then they watch the plants continue to grow after placing them in the garden. The students also observe the lifecycle of butterflies and other insects and learn about rain and sea life. They try to use as much recycled material as possible. But do these very young children really get the message that their teachers try to municate? Ms. Boker says yes. “Oh they do. They pletely understand,” she said.On April 22 the kids at St. James will go out to the schools garden for the yearly clean-up. But for them, Earth Day will continue for the school days ahead as well.25. Rebecca Boker thinks that children should .A. think twice before they do anythingB. make it a habit to take care of the EarthC. spend less time on their schoolworkD. do what everyone does in their daily lives26. Paragraph 4 shows that children at St James Childrens School .A. spend most of their time observing thingsB. dont have a chance to learn about sea lifeC. make money out of recycling wasteD. know a lot about nature through observing things27.

What do children at St James Childrens School do on April 22?A. They pick up trash in the streets.B. They observe the growth of plants.C. They clean up the schools garden.D. They plant trees in the schools garden.CWinters in the northern United States are cold and snowy. Sometimes, the snows e with extremely (极端地) strong winds. These snowstorms are called blizzards.The dictionary Etymology Online says blizzard came to mean a heavy snow storm during the late 1800s. Before then, the word blizzard had nothing to do with snow. It had several other meanings. One was a sharp blow, like hitting a ball with a stick. Another meaning was a gun shot. And blizzard was also defined(下定义) as a most extreme statement or event. These days, we do not use blizzard to mean any of those things. Blizzard is only used to mean an extreme snow storm. The first such use was in 1870. An especially heavy snowstorm hit the state of Iowa. This storm was the worst winter storm in a long time. A newspaper editor in a small Iowa town called the terrible storm a blizzard.Much like a blizzard, the use of the word blew across the country over the next few years. Just as snow sticks to the ground, the word blizzard stuck as meaning any really bad winter storm.Snow changes the world around us. When snow is falling, the world seems very soft, peaceful and quiet. But blizzards are different. They can be dangerous. Blizzards create white-out conditions. A white-out is when snow is falling fast and winds drive the snow so much that it is impossible to see. 29.Before the late 1800s, the word blizzard had these meanings EXCEPT .A. a sharp blow B. an extreme snow storm C. a gun shot D. a most extreme statement or event 30. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. A blizzard blew across the country over the next few years.B. A heavy wind blew across the country over the next few years.C. Much wind blew across the country over the next few years.D. The new meaning of blizzard was widely used across the country over the next few years.31. In the last paragraph the author tries to .A. explain the difference between snow and blizzard.B. tell us too much snow is a real problem C. make us understand the meaning of “snow” betterD. tell us why people like snow but blizzard32. The text is mainly about .A. a snowstorm in the northern United States B. a blizzard in the northern United StatesC. the new meaning of the word blizzard D. a cold winter in the northern United StatesDDear parents and teachers,Steve Spanglers new book “Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes” is the best book of science experiments and information Ive ever seen, and as an educator with over twenty years experience, Ive seen my share. Mr Spangler was himself a classroom teacher for several years, which gives him an insight （洞察力） that is missing in other books of this type. He knows how it is, with kids and limited time and resources.Shawn Campbells pictures make this book even more impressive. Just to look at the colorful examples and pictures will make anyone of any age want to try these experiments himself / herself.Steve Spangler makes sure that we will learn the actual science behind each of his experiments, too. This book isnt just about having fun, blowing things up, and making messes, although those things certainly add to the impression. Yes, you and your kids will have fun, blow things up and make messes, but you will also understand why. Mr Spangler is a master teacher who knows how to municate his love of science to kids, and his audiences and readers sense it and react with that same enthusiasm.“Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes” is the kind of book that belongs on every class- rooms library shelf and every kids bedroom bookcase. However, I seriously doubt that the book will stay on the shelf for long; once word gets out, every kid in the building will want to get his / her hands on it and start experimenting. It might even be a good idea to get a second copy to keep in the kitchen; many of the experiments use simple household things that are found in any pantry （食品储藏柜）.My liking for and enthusiasm about this book are strong. Its really fantastic! 33. What can we learn about the book? A. It was written by an educator with over twenty years experience.B. It is mainly about the science behind the experiments.C. It is a serious book with no pictures in it.D. It wont bring fun to kids.34. By saying “I seriously doubt that the book will stay on the shelf for long”, the writer means “ ”.A. the book will be out of date soon.B. more and more kids will start to use it soon.C. the book will be banned by the government soon.D. the book will be replaced by a new version （版本） soon. 35. Where can we most probably read the passage？A. In a science report. B. In a travel book.C. In a news report.D. In a book review （评论）第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分). 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。There are some things that you cant give to your Chinese friends during the Spring Festival. 36 Things in black or white: Red is the lucky colour in China. 37 Necklaces: If you are just friends, dont give a necklace as a gift to him/her.
