Passage 9(2013 深圳)

     Everyone has got two personalities (性格) 一the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when youVe awake because you can control yourself,but when youVe asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.

      If you go to sleep on your back,you’re a very open person.You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

      If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life

the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

      If you sleep on curled up（蜷縮）,you are probably a very nerv- ous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.

      If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a wellbalanced (平衡的)personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. YouVe usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried,but you don^ often get unhappy. You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

        Gift giving is different in different 6       . Here are some of their likes.In Japan,people sometimes give special gifts.But they are not opened.Later,the same gift may be given away to someone 7       , because many people have enough things and don't want 8        gifts themselves.In Canada,a tree can help remember 9       . In the USA. some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts.In Sweden,doing something for someone is the best gift.People donH need to 10        too much money.

Passage 12 (2014 廣州，D) 

       Mobile phones are more important than ever in the daily lives of students,but how they use them has changed greatly in the past six years. While phones are still widely used for communication,a recent study has found that most students think talking on mobile phones is now oldfashioned.

       London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18 about their mobile phone habits.The researchers divided mobile phone use into “communicationand” and “entertainment”. Communication included talking on the phone and writing messages using texting (短信) or chatting software. Entertainment was made up of playing games,watching movies,listening to music and surfing the Internet.The findings were then compared to a 2008 study,to see what changed .The results are shown below:

       Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones these days. Six years ago the average students spent 36% of their mobile phone time making or receiving calls. In 2014,only 10% of time was used for talking. When students use their phones to communicate,more and more often it is done by using chat software like qq or wechat.

       “Communication is still an important function of mobile phones. But now mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communicationsaid Dr Harry Lectre,the research leader.

1. What was the most popular mobile phone activity in 2014？

   A. Talking. B. Texting.

   C. Playing games. D. Watching movies.

2. In total,what percentage of time did students use their mobile phones for communication in 2008?

   A. 16%.   B. 28%.   C. 35%.   D. 71%.

3. Which of the following is true about watching movies on mobile phones?

   A. It has increased most over the past six years.

   B. 14% of students now watch movies on their mobile phones.

   C. It was the most popular type of mobile phone entertainment in 2008.

   D. Students now spend more time watching movies than talking on their phones.

4. Which mobile phone activities were more popular than surfing the Internet in 2014?

   A. Chatting and watching movies.

   B. Chatting and listening to music.

   C. Playing games and watching movies.

Passage 4( 2015 廣東廣州，B) 

     Most of us could probably live without vegetables,but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard!According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon.

     There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage—— chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa,the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate,not much can be done about the first cause.

     Therefore,the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However,new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana,the world’s largest producers,have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years.What’s worse,many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoaproducing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber.This way,the farmers can make more money.

     To prevent more farmers from changing,researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre,in the UK,are trying to create new ccx;oa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must Passage 5 (2015 廣東廣州，D) make sure the new plants are safe to grow.TTiis takes a long time.

     First,each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy.lt is then planted in the Centre’s fields,studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re diseasefree,will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.

     To create new stronger types of cocoa,scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage,there is now hope!

1. The first paragraph tells us that       .

   A. chocolate is healthier than vegetables

   B. the world could soon be without chocolate

   C. people love vegetables more than chocolate

   D. it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate

2. In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?

   A. Venezuela and Indonesia. B. Ivory Coast and Ghana.

   C. Indonesia and China. D. China and India.

3. Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops      .

   A. can make them more money

   B. need less rain to grow

   C. can be planted more times each year

   D. are not damaged by plant diseases

4. How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?

   A. 6 months. B. 12 months. C. 24 months. D. 30 months.

5. What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre?

   A. To introduce cocoa production to more countries.

   B. To provide more chocolate for British people.

   C. To produce stronger types of cocoa plants.

   D. To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.
