     Sophia Wu, 25, is a young Chinese woman who does business with her family in Santiago, Chile (智
 利). On February 27, she experienced a night that she will never forget.
     "I was asleep and was woken up by powerful shaking at around 3:30 in the morning. My whole room
  was moving and I couldn't stand still. I wanted to run downstairs and go outside, but suddenly the wall
 got broken and the lights in the room went out. The room became so shaky that I couldn't move at all."
     That night an 8.8-magnitude (震級(jí)) earthquake hit Chile. Buildings and bridges fell down. Electricity
  (電) and water services shut down. The Chilean Red Cross reported that about 500,000 homes were
 destroyed and more than 800 people died.
     The earthquake has been the fifth strongest since 1900. More than 90 aftershocks (余震) followed the
  earthquake. A tsunami (海嘯) was set off in the Pacific Ocean by the earthquake.Scientists say that there
  are about 500,000 earthquakes in the world each year. Of  these, only 20% are felt, and 100 of them
 cause damage.
     So far, scientists haven't found a way to predict earthquakes. But you can learn to protect yourself
  during an earthquake. The most important thing to remember is to drop, cover and hold on. So remember
  to drop to the floor, get under something for cover and hold onto something strong during the shaking.

“ Cool ” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.

“ Cool ” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool . ” You may think, “He’s so cool，”when you see your favourite footballer.

We all maximize（擴(kuò)大）the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “ new ”or “ surprising ”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall （瀑布）they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool. ” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility （可信性）.

One day in Overtown, Florida, 3.7 million dollars fell from the sky! It happened when a truck turned over.There was money everywhere! One man said, “The streets were like gold.” Some people took off their shirts and filled them with money.

Police officers went from door to door in the neighborhood. They asked people to return the money. After six hours, the total returned: zero.

閱讀理解

We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.

The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂歡) …

Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．It was the first time for the writer to go to Paris.

B．It was a long way from London to Paris.

C．The writer lives in London.

D．The writer only likes to go to places she has never been to.

2. The underlined word “stand” in the second paragraph means ____.

A．享受

B．忍受

C．站立

D．位于

3. What can you know about Matthew from the second paragraph? 

A．He doesn’t like shopping.

B．He doesn’t like travelling.

C．He is one of the writer’s relatives.

D．He isn’t a good husband.

4. The shops on rue Bonaparte ____.

A．has no bread that the writer likes

B．is often crowded with customers

C．don’t have anything the writer likes

D．is not very busy all the time

5.What’s the best title for the passage? 

A．An unpleasant trip

B．A great city

C．A shopping centre

D．A trip to Paris
