1During the First World War, some Americans indirectly benefited because of the war. With two million white men fighting in Europe and no new immigrants entering the country, many jobs in the United States became available to blacks and women for the first time.
2Both groups proved their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by women’s higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women welcomed the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”
3Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war.
4American manufacturers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
5White Americans were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers’ ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black men’s fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to compete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended.
【小題1】Why could American women and backs find jobs during World War I?

A．They were taken to serve the war.B．They had their equal right at that time.
C．Workforce was in great need.D．They had better productivities.
【小題2】Which of the following is Untrue according to the above passage?

【小題1】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知，在第一次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，白人男人參戰(zhàn)，加上沒(méi)有外來(lái)

ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance
the war.”�？芍�，并非所有的婦女都去工作了，而是以其它方式參與了戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
【小題1】What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A．Soccer and golf. B．Skiing and skating.
C．Cycling and hockey. D．Mountaineering.
【小題2】The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.
A．strong emotion B．good way
C．better feeling D．enough affection
【小題3】Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.
A．it has man-made rules
B．it is too dangerous for climbers
C．it can’t bring people joy or leisure
D．it is free for climbers to use their own methods
【小題4】We know from the passage that _______.
A．mountaineering has no appeal for people
B．physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers
C．a(chǎn) mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty
D．it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps
【小題5】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Sports in winter B．Team work in climbing
C．Mountaineering D．The quality for mountaineering

People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles, pushing your shopping cart. You probably hear soft, slow music in the supermarket. This kind of music is playing to relax you and make you walk slowly. Thus, you will probably stay longer and buy more food.
Where do you go in the supermarket when you first arrive? Many people go to the meat section first. This area of the store has many different kinds of meat. Some kinds are expensive and others are not. Usually, some kinds of meat are on sale. So it has a special low price. The manager of the store knows where the customers usually enter the meat section. The meat on sale is usually at the other end of the section, away from where the customers enter. If you want to buy this specially priced meat, you have to walk by the more expensive meat first. Maybe you will see something that you want to buy before you reach the cheaper, inexpensive meat. Then you will spend more money in the meat section.
The diary section sells milk that is low in fat. Some supermarkets sell three different containers（包裝盒）of low-fat milk. Each container looks different, but each contains the same product. One says "1% fat", one says "99% fat free" and one says "low-fat" in big letters and "1%"in very small letters. If you look carefully you can see that all the milk has the same amount of fat, and each container is the same size. The prices of all these three should be the same. However, in many stores these three containers of milk would each have a different price. The store will make more money if a customer chooses the milk that costs the most.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. People often stop to look at the products in attractive containers. But remember, many products will say, "Buy me!". Stop and think which ones are the best value for your money.
【小題1】The word "aisles" in the first paragraph means _______ .

A．the entrance of a supermarket
B．the place where you pay for your goods
C．the way between the shelves
D．the place where the special priced meat is on sale.
【小題2】When you walk by the expensive meat, _______ .
A．maybe you will buy someB．you will not look at it
C．you will buy diary productsD．maybe it is on sale
【小題3】The three different kinds of low-fat milk _______ .
A．contain three different amount of milk
B．contain three different kinds of milk
C．each have the same amount of fat
D．a(chǎn)re all the same price
【小題4】Supermarket managers make the food attractive so _______ .
A．it is cheap

My interest in Chinese food started years a90, when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants．
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
Many years ago, China had an energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their valuable wood，or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
In order to economize in cookin9, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor一and it's this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.
【小題1】This text is mainly about________.

A．what caused Chinese food to taste fresh
B．how Chinese food is cooked in the US
C．when the author started to make Chinese food
D．why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food
【小題2】The author mentioned the energy crisis to show________.
A．it is important to protect the forests
B．it is necessary to find substitutes for wood
C．why the Chinese changed their way of cooking
D．what problems a big population is causing China today
【小題3】It can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis Chinese food________.
A．was cooked in rather large pieces
B．was cooked in water but not oil
C．didn’t taste good
D．didn’t look fresh

In America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort: brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of restaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides are sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.
Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.
The number l safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.
Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others.
Don't fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, don't fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.
【小題1】When coming to Virginia Beach, children can enjoy the happiness of     .

A．walking on the road made of wood B．joining the nightspots
C．having interesting rides D．skiing in the sea
【小題2】Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be     .
A．a(chǎn)fter autumn school term beginning B．in the slimmer vacation
C．during the Christmas holiday D．in the cold winter
【小題3】Swimming in the sea you'd better not swim     .
A．with a friend B．within the sight of the lifeguard
C．with the current D．a(chǎn)s far as you like
【小題4】From the passage, we can know     .
A．one in five persons swimming in the sea is drowned
B．if one with lifeguard were drowning, five persons without lifeguard would be
C．some 80% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
D．some 20% drowning by the currents are rescued by life guards
【小題5】The passage mainly tells us      .
A．some safety tips when swimming in the sea
B．the happiness and excitement the beach offers
C．Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort
D．the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the sea

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
【小題1】Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?

A．They eat too much for lunch.
B．They sleep too little at night.
C．Their body temperature becomes lower.
D．The weather becomes a lot warmer.
【小題2】If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A．About 12:30 pm. B．About 1:30 pm. C．About 2:30 pm D．About 3:30 pm
【小題3】 What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest B．All for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern. D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

Of all the websites, one that has attracted attention recently is myspace.com. Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason why the website should be shut down. The danger of internet predators(竊掠者) is indeed a tough reality, but shutting down the site is not the answer. If myspace.com were shut down, another site would quickly take its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them about who may be predators and how to avoid them.
The key to staying safe on the Internet is to make sure that your profile(個(gè)人資料) is secure. The simplest way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”, which protects your information so that only the people on your friend list can view it. Although this is effective, it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to, whether through hacking(非法侵入) in or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal information. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and other personal information, often letting predators know exactly where they will be and when. The safest information is your first name and province. Anything more is basically inviting a predator into your life.
Another big problem is photos. I suggest completely skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without asking permission.
Most importantly, never, under any circumstances, agree to a real-life meeting with anyone you meet online. No matter how well you think you know this person, there are no guarantees that they have told the truth. But you could feel free to chat with people you meet on the site, but just remember that not everyone is who they say they are. Hopefully, the next time you edit your profile, you’ll be more informed about the dangers of Internet predators and take the steps to defend yourself.
Lastly, do not send money to anyone you meet online. A common scam among Internet criminals is to request to pay for “expensive Internet charges” or “unreasonable Internet cafe fees”. While it is indeed true that many countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and South America do not yet have Internet service readily available in all cities and towns, a sincere friend from one of these countries will be more than happy to pay their own Internet charges. Never, under any circumstances, should you send money to a stranger from another country(or within your own country for that matter) who claims monetary assistance is required to continue their contact with you.
【小題1】Kids can avoid web predators successfully by________.

A．a(chǎn)ttracting more public attention
B．shutting down the “myspace.com”
C．learning different ways to try other sites
D．recognizing and getting away from them
【小題2】We can learn from the text that________.
A．everybody you meet online isn’t honest and reliable
B．it is not acceptable to post a photo of a friend online
C．it is not safe to chat with grown-ups on the website
D．only you and your friends can view your personal profile
【小題3】What does the underlined word “scam” in the last paragraph mean?
A．A thing that you can have two choices.
B．An unpleasant task that tests one’s ability.
C．A possibility of something happening.
D．An illegal plan for making money.
【小題4】What could be the best title of this passage?
A．Personal Safety.B．Web Safety for Teens.
C．Web Hackers in the past.D．Predators’ Tricks.

When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care．
Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there．They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．
The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat came to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons more kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．
Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．
The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here．By simply saying，”I need some help here”，he did something important for us．He needed us．And we needed to be needed．I believe we all do．
【小題1】Which of the following statements is true?

A．The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison．
B．The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat．
C．The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds．
D．The author realized the importance of practising kindness．
【小題2】We can infer from the third paragraph that______
A．showing love to others can make prisoners strong
B．the American prison culture will be improved
C．the author is not content with the prison culture
D．caring for others is encouraged in American prisons
【小題3】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Caring Makes US Human．B．Prison Culture is Important．
C．Animals Need Care． D．Everyone Needs to be Cared for．

A．show us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other
B．show us the American prison culture does need improvement
