It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.One of the first sayings taught to school children is, An apple a day keeps the doctor away.This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an apple polisher. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the apple of our eye.Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.Finally, when its time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is the biggest apple of all the American cities（1）What does the underlined phrase apple polisher mean?A . Something for cutting apples.B . A person who likes to please others.C . A person who is dealing with fruits.D . A machine for cleaning apples quickly.（2）Which of the following is TRUE with apples?The passage is mainly about.A . Apples are medicine.B . Apples are the most important food.C . New York is famous for its big apples.D . The Bible says Adam was given an apple.（3）The passage is mainly about.A . stories about the appleB . apples in American cultureC . some famous sayings of the appleD . big cities that is famous for apples3. （6分） Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for shoppers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! Second, never let New and Improved! or All Natural”on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third，compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(品牌)and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for shoppers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising. However, they are still of high quality. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise shoppers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials(商业广告)，but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, will-informed shoppers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, shoppers can make a wise choice.（1）The author gives _ suggestions to the shoppers in the passage.A . ThreeB . FourC . FiveD . Six（2）We can learn from the passage that _.A . ordinary items are not so attractive because of the lower prices .B . we cant buy items with words like New and Improved or All Natural”.C . the advertisers are always showing misinformation in the commercial.D . the quality of ordinary items can be as good as that of famous brands.（3）The authors main purpose of writing the passage is to advise shoppers _.A . to buy ordinary items instead of famous brandsB . how to buy ordinary things in supermarketsC . how to make a proper decision while shoppingD . not to believe advertisements or commercials4. （6分） Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, dont always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesnt work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.Finally, while doing homework, dont think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child thats aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.（1）In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _.A . doing homework is the first thing you should do at homeB . after-school activities cant affect doing homeworkC . parents can help kids with their homework at nightD . kids need a good rest after school（2）In the third paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that _.A . students should ask the teacher more questionsB . thinking over the questions before asking others is importantC . problems cant be solved without a teachers helpD . students shouldnt always look at the materials in the back of the book（3）The passage mainly tells children _.A . not to look away while doing homeworkB . to do homework by themselvesC . not to turn to teachers when doing homeworkD . to do their homework quickly and in the right way5. （10分）阅读理解CJune lived in a small southern village (村庄).
