【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Seventy years ago, a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交響樂團). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theater groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
(1)What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A.To introduce young theater groups.
B.To honor heroes of World WarⅡ.
C.To attract great artists from Europe.
D.To bring Europe together again.
(2)Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A.They owned a public house there.
B.They wanted to take part in the festival.
C.They thought they were also famous.
D.They came to take up a challenge.
(3)Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
A.Popular writers
B.Artists from around the world.
C.University students.
D.Performers of music and dance.
(4)We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival______.
A.keeps growing rapidly
B.has gone beyond an art festival
C.gives shows all year round
D.has become a non-official event

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路駕車技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take (互諒互讓) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
(1)The passage mainly talks about ________.
A.traffic jams
B.good manners
C.road politeness
D.modern drivers
(2)Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.
A.traffic jams
B.the behavior of the drivers
C.the great speed of modern life
D.terrible road conditions
(3)According to the writer, a good driver should ________.
A.encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to
B.beat back when forced to face rude driving
C.be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
D.join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel
(4)It is not always right for drivers to ________.
A.master the roadmanship
B.neglect politeness when they see it
C.give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D.encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

Day 1
I first heard of “Show Racism (種族歧視) the Red Card” when my friend Jill asked me to support their work. Basically, it's an organization which uses professional (職業(yè)的) footballers to help fight racism in sport and society. A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them. I thought he probably meant for me to give money or do some voluntary work. But then he told me that a group of about 20 people were getting sponsored (贊助) to play the highest ever game of rugby (橄欖球) at 5,140 meters on Mount Everest.
Day 4
We're making our way up to the base camp — that's where most climbers start their final climb to the top — and then, we'll play our game. Today we started out at 8 am. We had to cross three suspension bridges (懸索橋). One of them was so high that you couldn't see the bottom. Then we walked through some beautiful forest areas before we started a two-hour uphill hike to Namche Bazaar.
Day 10
Base camp is basically just a lot of stones and tents. The walk up was really exhausting. Maybe if I was fitter, I wouldn't find this so hard, but then it was not just me — all of us got very short of breath.
Day 11
Today we played our game. It was supposed to be a “friendly” game, and last night, we had agreed we'd just walk and not run. However, it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off. We only played for 14 minutes. I think someone would have got hurt if we'd played any longer! My team won and I scored the last try! Of course, none of this matters. What's really important is that we did it and we've raised a load of money.
(1)The first time the author was asked to do something for Jill's work, he _____.
A.got a big shock
B.accepted his request
C.looked down upon Jill
D.spread the news to 20 people
(2)What can we learn about the game of rugby on Mount Everest?
A.It got little attention.
B.It was a bit competitive.
C.It ended because someone was injured.
D.It was held on the top of Mount Everest.
(3)The author's trip to Mount Everest can be described as _____.
A.frightening and fruitless
B.relaxing and interesting
C.hard but successful

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must1sixty hours of service learning,2 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.3 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.4 a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a5about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many6of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think7their own interests and become8of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that9responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team.10, students can explore possible careers 11 service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.
12 there are many benefits, opponents (反對者)13problems with the new requirement. First, they14that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend15time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without16goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to17to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 18, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 19to help must come from the heart. I think the best20is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
