fireworks while others are addicted to strange new years ceremonies like melting (熔化) lead,leaping off chairs or eating grapes.one of the worlds oldest shared traditions,new years celebrations take many forms,but most cultures have one thing in common letting ones hair down after a long,hard year.for much of the globe,this includes drinking champagne with friends until the sun comes up,seeing out the old year with campfires and flames and the singing of auld lang syne.but others have rather more curious habits.in finland,people pour molten lead into cold water to predict the year ahead from the shape the metal sets in.if the blob (团) represents a ship,it is said to foretell travel,if its a ball,good luck.in denmark,people stand on chairs and jump off at the same time as the clock strikes midnight,literally leaping into the new year.the danes also throw plates at their friends homes during the night the more pieces you find outside your door in the morning,the more popular you are said to be.the dutch build massive campfires with their christmas trees and eat sugary donuts one kind of round new years foods which are traditionally believed to represent good fortune in many cultures.spaniards,in turn,eat a dozen grapes before the coming of midnight,each fruit representing a month that will either be sweet or sour.in the philippines,people wear clothes with round dots for good luck,while in some countries of south america people put on brightly colored underwear to attract fortune red for love and yellow for financial success.despite regional and cultural differences,for most the new years celebrations are a chance to let off steam before the annual cycle starts all over again.george washington university sociologist amitai etzioni explained,“this is a holiday that is about relaxation and letting go.” 51.the underlined part in paragraph 2 can be replaced by .a.combing ones hair b.relaxing and letting go c.lying down and sleeping d.washing the hair clean52.leaping off chairs as the clock strikes midnight on dec.31,you are from .a.the philippinesb.spain c.denmark d.finland53.if a person chooses to wear yellow underwear for the new year,he must be a .a.south americanb.filipino c.spaniardd.dutchman54.which of the following doesnt stand for good luck,according to the passage?()a.a ball-shaped lead blob b.clothes with round dots c.round sugary foods d.champagne and fireworks(b)there is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: “no one can do everything, but everyone can do something.” there are a lot of ways to meet other peoples needs, and it seems there is a volunteer group for everything.today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others.some provide education, while others offer adventure.many do both.for example, some volunteers provide emergency help after a catastrophic event or disaster.others get dirty when repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods.young people see suffering and loneliness around old people and find ways to help them.and history lovers help archaeologists (考古学家) search for ancient objects to help deepen knowledge of the past.why do people offer their services to others at no cost? mental health expert jonathan crook says many volunteers want to return goodness for goodness.the north carolina man says people sometimes cannot repay a person who has helped them.somebody did something for them, at one point, and they cannot pay them back directly.that helpful individual may no longer be part of their lives.but mr.crook says they can always offer kindness to someone or something else.they can pay them back indirectly.this happens very often, especially to people with strong religious or spiritual beliefs.mr.crook says some may have suffered difficult experiences and are thankful for getting through them.“they just feel like they have been really blessed in their life.there is kind of spiritual motivation, i think, a lot of times.”he adds that some volunteers find a job or career while helping others.for example, young people may serve without pay in a free health center.the main reason may be to help decide if they would want to become a health or social worker.they may give their time to an organization in the hope that their employers will notice their work and improve their career paths.55. by saying “others offer adventure”, the writer means .a. some volunteers offer people chances to adventureb.not all volunteers can do whatever they want to for othersc.there seems to be always a volunteer group for dangersd.some volunteers take some risks when helping others56. people with strong religious or spiritual beliefs .a.must be really blessed in their life b.may go through many difficult experiencesc.often pay back others kindness indirectly d.believe that they will always be helped by others57. the writing purpose of this passage is mainly to .a. introduce the methods of offering helps to others b.call for people to do voluntary work at no costc.clarify why people take the trouble to help others d.argue that to help others is to help ourselves58.we can infer from the last paragraph that some volunteers .a.prefer to serve without pay in a free health center b.offer kindness to others without getting any rewardc.only do some work without any danger to help others d.may want to help themselves through social service (c) classified adsjob wantedim baker, a 25 young man living in shanghai and looking for a job in a variety of fields, web designer, teaching spanish or

to get a drivers license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam. but tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. they protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. in schools, too, exams play a constructive role. they tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. they tell teachers what their students have learnedand have not. they tell parents how their children are doing compared with others of their age. they encourage students to make more effort. it is important to recall that for most of this century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high-quality education. the point of iq testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. based on iq scores, millions of children were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign languages. this history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. every child should have access to a high-quality education. students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. in the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests. those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs. in their efforts to improve students performance, states are increasing
