【題目】Passage 5

Flynn Garry, a l5- year-old boy, is known as “the country's hottest chef(廚師)”

Garry started cooking four years ago. Before he tried cooking at home, he read some cookbooks and surfed the Internet. He thought he could do it. Garry said, "Every time I try it, I hope to get better and better, I just love cooking.”

Garry said he could cook, also partly thanks to his mum. His mum didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, he didn’t like her food, so he decided to try something simple.

Within a year, he has produced most of the dishes in the cookbook and was ready for a bigger plan. “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family too. The young man had a strong passion(熱情) for cooking. He even turned his bedroom into a test kitchen. Every day he practised his cooking skills there after school. Soon he could really create more complicated(復(fù)雜的) dishes of his own. At that moment, the real" I want to be a chef" dream came into his mind.

Now Garry and his mother set up Eureka, a super club business that organizes monthly events inside his home. Garry, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he's not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. "At the point in your life where you stop caring if you're going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my heart and people can see it. I hope to keep getting better and better. ”

【題目】Passage 4

“Life is speeding up(加速). Everyone is getting unwell. ”

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in ancient Rome wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can change our lives. 【1】

For example, you're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings. 【2】Suddenly the computer goes bad and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling worried and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier?【3】

One family in the UK went"back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave(微波爐),computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother Lyn said, “【4】” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a fashionable (時(shí)尚的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.

A. Perhaps it's because they live simpler lives.

B. Living in a different time will be lots of fun for us.

C. A QQ message from your friend appears on the screen.

D. But have all these developments really improved our lives?

E. The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.

F. We have achieved so much with the developments of technology.

【題目】 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(續(xù)集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.

Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.

In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults and its good qualities.

Several themes run through the story. Perhaps the most important one is slavery, which was finally abolished in all American states in 1865. Another is freedom. Both Huck and Jim want to be free—Jim from slavery and Huck from the society that wants to control him. A third is friendship. The adventures that Jim and Huck share on the river bring them closer together. The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends. Jim helps Huck and Huck helps Jim in return.

【題目】 You may have heard the saying, women are from Venus(金星) and men are from Mars (火星). It's a nice way of saying how men and women are quite different from each other in many ways.

These differences can be seen everywhere, even in how we communicate with friends. A recent study by the University of Oxford suggested that men and women keep relationships with friends far away in different ways.

Researchers questioned 30 students about their friendships just before they left for college. They followed up the questions nine months, and then 18 months later Robin Dunbar, who headed the research, told that how long friendships among women last depended on whether they made an effort to talk more to each other on the phone. Men, on the other hand, tended to (傾向于) do things differently. They went through months of not being with friends by planning meet-ups (見面) sometimes. This was the biggest difference between men and women.

Of course, gender (性別)isn't the only thing that influences how we stay in touch. The way we keep our friendships also depends on the preference(偏好) of each person, and it can take a while to find your own way of making your friendships work. One thing that is pretty clear though is that friends who make the effort to keep in touch, even if it's only through Wechat(微信)once a week, do tend to stay friends, no matter how far it is.

【1】Did researchers question 30 high school students about their friendships?

________________________________________________________

【2】How did women keep their friendships according to the research?

【4】Do you think it's a good way for teenagers to keep friendships by planning meet-ups often? Why or why not?

【題目】 American teenagers are driving less than ever before. Surveys of American teenagers show that American young people prefer chatting with their fiends online or playing games on the Internet to driving around in their cars.

For teenagers in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, they had to have a car at an early age to show they were cool. Today, many teenagers have to choose between a car and the latest smart phones. With gas prices going up, car driving is becoming more expensive. For almost half of the people between 18 and 26, surfing the Internet is more important than owning a car. Young adults today meet their friends just through Facebook and chat, swap photos and play games together.

The golden age of the 50s and 60s of the 20th century when teenagers drove around just for fun is gone. In those days a shiny new car was something to boast about. It showed who you were. In 1978 about half of all 16-year-olds got their driver's licenses(駕駛執(zhí)照)as soon as they had reached that age . In 2010 the figure dropped to only 30%.

Today driving is not as much fun as it was in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century. In the golden age car meant everything for young people. Another reason why teenagers drive less may be stricter driving tests and the fact that 16-year-olds must drive with experienced drivers over 21.

A study also shows that Americans of all ages have reduced car use , mostly because high gas prices.

【1】Why did teenagers in the 50s and 60s have to buy a car?

A.To go traveling with their families.B.To play games with their friend.

C.To have more talks with their friendsD.To become cool and enjoy themselves.

【2】What make today’s American car sales fall down according to the last paragraph?

A.High gas pricesB.Strict driving testsC.Heavy trafficD.Lack of fashion styles

【3】The text is organized by comparing the different needs between American teenagers in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century and ________.

A.American teenagers in 1978B.16-year-olds in Asia

C.today’s teenagers in AmericaD.middle-aged Asian
