In 1863, President Lincoln issued a declaration calling for the last Thursday of November________ as a day of Thanksgiving.

A．being observed  B．observed

C．observing  D．to be observed

D　考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。the last Thursday of November 與observe 之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，且所表示動(dòng)作是將來時(shí)，所以用不定式的被動(dòng)語態(tài)作賓補(bǔ)。句意：在1863年，林肯總統(tǒng)簽署了一個(gè)宣言，主張把每年十一月的最后一個(gè)星期四定為感恩節(jié)。故選D。

If you look for a book as a present for a child. You will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Patten J.K Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books , which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.

Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all . In 2003, 35% did . And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile . Either way , Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report , he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds ,who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher . An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.

International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well ,but read less often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?

A. Many children’s books have been adapted from films.

B. Many high-quality children’s books have been published .

C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.

D. The sales of presents for children have increased.

Statistics suggested that _______.

A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers

B. a decreasing number of  children showed interest in reading

C. a minority of primacy school children read properly

D. a large percentage of children read regularly

What do we know about Reading Recovery?

A. An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.

B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.

C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.

D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.

Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _________.

A. take greater advantage of the project    B.show the potential to enjoy a long life

C. are likely to succeed in their education.    D.would make excellent future researchers

The aim of this text would probably be _________.

A. to overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty.

B. to encourage the publication of more children’s books

C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun

D. to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading

Hi Hongbo,
I’m so glad to read about the changes talking place in your city. It’s really good news that you can travel by subway in Xi’an, though there’s only one line there. Here in London we have twelve lines. By the way, we don’t use the word “subway” here. It’s American English. We call it “the Underground”, instead.
The London Underground is very famous. It’s famous for several reasons. First of all, part of the underground railway today is the oldest in the world, which opened in 1863. Secondly, the London Underground is also the first line to have electric trains, in 1890. Thirdly but not the last, the London Underground is the second largest metro system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are 270 stations in the Underground and it has 402 kilometres of tracks(軌道). What’s more, the city of London itself helps make the transportation system famous! I’ve got a few photos to help you build a clear picture of the Underground in my city. They are together with this mail.
In your email, you also said workers were building more lines. I’m sure your city is developing fast. Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today. I really want to see the changes taking place there. I’m happy for you to live there in an ancient city with such a new look!
So much for now. I’ll write soon again. Best wishes!
【小題1】Where is the writer from？

A．From LondonB．From ShanghaiC．From Xi’an.D．From New York
【小題2】The second paragraph mainly tells us        ?
A．when the first subway was opened in the world.
B．when the London Underground first used electric trains
C．why the London Underground is the oldest subway in the world.
D．why the London Underground is famous in the world
【小題3】In the email, the words “subway”, “underground”, and “metro” mean   .
A．three different thingsB．two different things
C．a(chǎn)lmost the same thingD．nothing like each other
【小題4】What does the writer want Hongbo to do?
A．To buy a good book about Xi’an for him.
B．To send him a few photos of Xi’an.
