Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that _.A . Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B . A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C . Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D . More people like TV programs about famous men.（2）What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however.” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A . People only need reading, though.B . Reading is still necessary today.C . Reading is more fun than television.D . Watching television doesnt help reading.（3）What can we learn from the passage?A . TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge.B . Cinemas are the best choice in getting information.C . Reading is cheap way of learning and having fun.D . Newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself.4. （6分） In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up withthe Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it Keeping up with the Joneses because Jones is a very common name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.（1）Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _.A . want to be as rich as their neighborsB . want others to know or to think that they are richC . dont want others to know they are richD . want to make themselves happy（2）It can be inferred（推断）from the story that rich people like to_.A . live outside New York CityB . live in New York cityC . live in apartmentsD . have many neighbors（3）According to the writer, it is_ to keep up with the Joneses.A . correctB . interestingC . impossibleD . good5. （8分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。The Aborigines (澳洲土著) have lived in Australia for about 60,000 years. They painted pictures inside caves, and these are the rock paintings that have given us so much information about Aboriginal life. For example, some of the paintings that are about 10,000 years old show us with boomerangs (回旋镖). From this we know that the Aborigines started using boomerangs for hunting at that time. Other pictures show kangaroos, so we know that there were kangaroos at that time.The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live on the Earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the Earth-the Earth belongs to the spirits.In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.（1）What did the Aborigines use boomerangs to do according to the passage? A . To paint.B . To hunt.C . To fight.D . To play.（2）What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A . If the Aborigines fight against me spirits, they can own the Earth.B . The Aborigines cant see the spirits and dont know where they are.C .
