On a cold night in December, her family is standing around the kitchen table while she lights a candle. The table is decorated with baskets of fruits and vegetables and ears of corn for Shantelle and her two brothers. “This candle represents umoja, an African word that means being together, Shantelle says. “Thats the most important thing for a family.” Tonight is the first night of Kwanzaa, and Shantelle is spending the holiday with her family. More than 5 million African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa every year from December 26 until January I. Its a time when they get together with their families to think about their history and their ancestors in Africa.Kwanzaa is very unusual because it was started by one man. In 1966, an American named Maulana Karenga wanted a holiday for African-Americans to honor their culture and traditions. So he used words and customs from Africa to create a new celebration. He took the name Kwanzaa from the words for first fruits in Swahili, an African language. At first, a few American families had small celebrations at home. Now there are also Kwanzaa events in schools and public places, and Kwanzaa has spread to other countries like Canada and Jamaica.The main symbol of Kwanzaa is a candleholder with seven candles, one for each of the principles of Kwanzaa. Each night, a family member lights one of the candles and talks about the idea it represents: being together, being yourself, helping each other, sharing, having a goal, creating, and believing. The candles are red, black, and green, the colors of Kwanzaa. The parents also pour drinks to honor family members who have died. On the last night of Kwanzaa, there is a big dinner with African food, and children receive small presents.Today people can buy Kwanzaa greeting cards and special Kwanzaa clothes. Stores sell Kwanzaa candles and candleholders. Some people dont believe that Kwanzaa is a real holiday, because its so new. But other people say that customs and celebrations are always changing and that Kwanzaa shows what is important in peoples lives .Shantelle Davis says she likes Kwanzaa because its fun. “But I also learn new things every year,”she says.16.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly, including the United States, last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 300/0 of the front and back of every pack. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.4 The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. So far, 109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.A What the FCTC DemandsB US Signing of the FCTCC Opposition to the FCTCD How the FCTC Came into BeingE What the FCTC Will Bring aboutF Ratification of the FCTC23.

Almost from the earliest annals of recorded time individuals have found ready audiences for their accounts of journeys to strange and exotic locales. One of the earliest travel writers, a Greek geographer and historian named Strabo, lived around the time of Christ. Though Strabo is known to have traveled from east of the Black Sea west to Italy and as far south as Ethiopia, he also used details gleaned from other writers to extend and enliven his accounts. His multivolumed work Geography provides the only surviving account of the cities, peoples, customs, and geographical peculiarities of the whole known world of his time. Two other classic travel writers, the Italian Marco Polo and the Moroccan Ibn Battutah, lived in roughly the same time period. Marco Polo traveled to China with his father and uncle in about A. D. 1275 and remained there 16 or 17 years, visiting several other countries during his travels. When Marco returned to Italy he dictated his memoirs, including stories he had heard from others, to a scribe, with the resulting book Il milione being an instant success. Though difficult to attest to the accuracy of all he says, Marcos book impelled Europeans to begin their great voyages of exploration. Ibn Battutahs interest in travel began on his required Muslim journey to Mecca in 1325, and during his lifetime he journeyed through all the countries where Islam held sway. His travel book the Rihlah is a personalized account of desert journeys, court intrigues, and even the effect of the Black Death in the various lands he visited. In almost 30 years of traveling it is estimated that Ibn Battutah covered more than 75, 000 miles.31 This passage is mostly about_. A why people find travel writing exciting B the literary style of three early travel writers C where three early travel writers went and wrote about D how to write a travel book 32 Ibn Battutah traveled_. A to China B to Ethiopia C throughout the Muslim world D for 16 or 17 years 33 The books of the three writers were popular because_. A they listed good places to stay B they told of strange and exotic locales C they explained the best routes to get to places D all of their stories were firsthand accounts 34 The overall organization of this passage is through_. A chronological order B spatial description C travel writers personal narratives D persuasive details 35 In this passage attest means to_. A give an examination to B draw a map of C tell lies to D give proof of 第二篇 “Lucky” Lord Lucan Alive or DeadOn 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat, vanished. The day before, his childrens nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that “Lucky”, as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny. What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, “Lucky” borrowed a car and drove it, Lucans friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel. Another version of events says that “Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed. A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about “Lucky”? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one. 36 The public are still interested in the investigation because_. A of the terrible murder B of the use of new DNA techniques C Lord Lucan has never been found D Loard Lucan was famous 37 It is thought that Lucan killed the nanny because_. A she was looking after the children B she was a friend of Lucans C it was dark and he thought she was Lady Lucan D Loard Lucan thought the nanny stole his car 38 Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself by_. A jumping into water B jumping out of his house C sailing his boat D sinking his boat 39 Lucan could have been killed because people_. A didnt want the police to catch him B thought he might talk to the police about them if he was caught C were unhappy with him D thought he was rich 40 Ex-detective MacLaughlin claimed that Mr. Barry Haplin_. A was an old schoolteacher B died in Goa, India C was really Lord Lucan in disguise D was a merchant第三篇 TransportationFor many years in the desert, camels were the only form of transportation. Before the age of modern trains, camels were used to carry all the goods for trading between Central Africa and Europe. Traders sometimes put together 10,000 to 15,000 animals. Each animal often used to carry as much as 400 pounds and it could travel twenty miles a day. This form of transportation used to be so important that camels were called “ships of the desert”.Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very short time. One engine can pull as much weight as 135,000 camels. In addition, trains use special cars(车厢) for their load. Refrigerator cars carry food; boxcars (棚车) carry heavy goods; stock cars carry animals; and tank cars carry oil.Air travel is also a modern means of transportation, but it has changed since the early twentieth century. The earliest planes were biplanes (双翼飞机), with two sets of wings. The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour. The pilots sat or lay on the wings in the open air. The plane engines sometimes stopped in the middle of a trip. It used to be impossible to fly in bad weather. In snow or in rain, the wings frequently became icy. Then the plane might go down.Mechanical improvements during the First World War changed airplanes. Monoplanes (单翼飞机) took the place of biplanes. Pilots flew inside of covered cabins. Still, even these planes were small. Only rich people used to be able to travel in airplanes.Now modern jets make air travel possible for all people. No place in the world is more than 24 hours away by jet. Further improvements have lowered the cost of flying, and they have made air travel much safer than it used to be. People never used to eat, sleep, or watch movies on airplanes. Now these things are a usual part of air travel.41According to the passage, why were camels called “ships of the desert”?ABecause they were strong and patient.BBecause they were the only important means of transportation in the desert.CBecause they moved faster than modern trains.DBecause they could travel 20 miles a day.42Which of the following about the advantages of a train is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2?ATrains can use special cars for different purposes.BTrains run much faster than camels.CA train can carry much more goods than a camel.DA train can carry goods at much lower costs.43Biplanes were dangerous in bad weather becauseApilots had to fly them at top speed.Bthe wings were too soft for pilots to sit on.Ctheir engines were too hot to work.Dthey might go down if the wings became icy.44Which of the following led to the replacement of the biplane by the monoplane?AIts large wings.BIts small size.CIts high price.DThe progress in science.45Which of the following would best replace the title of the passage?AFrom Camels to Modern Jets.BThe Safest Means of Transportation.CCamels Ships of the Desert.DThe Role of Science in Transportation.第5部分：补全短文（第4650题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。How to Do Well in ExamsDo not underestimate (低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. (46) An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.On the day of the exam, have a go
