     During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from anorexia nervosa: it was not enough to be thin. I had to be
the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect (反思) back and realize that my wishes were more
complex (復雜) than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious (意識) emotions were related to
my relationship with my father. As I was growing up,his work always came first. Sometimes I would not
see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do
the same ("You cannot get anywhere unless You go to the best universities"). Though, consciously, I never
felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat.
     At the time, all I knew was that I had to be skinny-skinnier than anyone else. Every month my father went
to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left,sorrow and emptiness consumed (折磨) me: Daddy was
leaving. Then, I tuned to focus on a mysterious weakness-a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving.
I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.
     Now two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my
father's inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person
who struggle to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle only for others. By starving, I attempted to
gain pride in myself by getting my father's approval (贊許) or acknowledgement of my value as a person.
But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel safe now that I can live with that knowledge safely
locked in my mind.
1. What is the "anorexia nervosa" as mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. It describes a situation of feeling unsafe.
B. It is an inability to express one's feelings.
C. It refers to people who are emotionally weak.
D. It is an illness that makes one want to stop eating.
2. Why did the writer suffer from anorexia nervosa?
A. She was told by her father to take care of herself.
B. She wanted to go to the best university.
C. She wanted her father's attention.
D. She grew up in a poor family.
3. Which of the following statements is true about the writer?
A. She has problems controlling her tempers.
B. She is proud of herself for working hard to succeed.
C. She has had great confidence in herself since childhood.
D. She has changed her father's way of expressing himself.
4. What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage?
A. T0blameherfather.
B. To report a case of child abuse (虐待).
C. To reflec a stage of growing up.
D. To teach people how to lose weight.

　　The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival．

　　The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time．The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere．The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities．Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood(茱萸)and drinking chrysanthemum(菊花)wine have become the traditional activities of the festival．

　　The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香氣)，and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine．People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill(寒意)in late autumn．So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries．But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities, do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like．

　　Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival．For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter．The custom evolved(發(fā)展成)into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery．

　　But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain?The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes．The Chinese word for“cake”is“Gao”, a homony of the Chinese word for“high”．Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb．

(1)

Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival?

[　　]

A．

Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance．

B．

Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine．

     Du Fu, the famous Tang Dynasty poet, is getting the business these days. In response to the 1,300th
anniversary of the poet's birth, the meme, "Du Fu is busy," is spreading through the Internet and turning
the iconic poet into a figure of fun.
     A meme is a cultural phenomenon. It's an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet
users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations. In Du's case, the
meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook. The picture shows a very serious Du sitting on a
rock, clothed in loose robes. His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the
distance. It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit.
     That image is changed in the meme. Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPod or
dressed as a Japanese cartoon character. In today's world, it seems fewer people respect great minds
or heroic spirits.
     This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism. Du Fu led a life of poverty and
humiliation. I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardship he endured: the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger. Yet, hardship didn't kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength.
     Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his
greatness. And that enduring image of greatness is the one that truly matters.
1. which expression can be used to replace the underlined part in Para. 1?
A. getting along very well with his business    
B. getting busier and busier
C. becoming a successful businessman        
D. being made to look foolish
2. Which of the following pictures is mentioned in the passage?
A.                  B.               C.               D.
3. What's the author's attitude towards the meme, "Du Fu is busy"?
A. Positive.    
B. Critical.    
C. Doubtful.    
D. Neutral.
4. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Meme is more and more popular.    
B. Du Fu is no longer a famous poet.
C. Du Fu is getting the business.      
D. Du Fu has become a new hero.

閱讀理解。
     John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident
when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
     Fortunately (幸運地) he had a strong-willed, caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him
many times, "Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe." She told him not to be
dependent on others, including his mother. "You have to earn success," said she. "All the people who work
hard don't succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."
    These words came from a woman with less than a third-grade education.She worked hard as a cook for
two years to save enough money to take her son-then 15-to Chicago.
     Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land (樂土) that black southerners were looking for. John's
mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power
of words-as an editor (編輯) of the newspaper at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine
for the blacks.
     While others discouraged him, John's mother offered him more words to live by: "Nothing beats a failure
but a try." She also let him pawn (典當) her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
     It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always
keeps his mother's words in mind: "Son, failure is not in your vocabulary." Now John H. Johnson is one of
the 400 richest people in America.

A. life in Chicago would be better for the blacks than for the whites
B. John's father died in his hometown when John was very young
C. there were no high schools for the blacks in their hometown
D. John needed education and he could go to school there
2. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means _____.
A. if you try, you will surely succeed
B. a try is always followed by a failure
C. only by trying can you get out of failure
D. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you try
3. We can learn from this passage that John's mother _____.
A. didn't depend on others or give up easily
B. thought success only came from working hard
C. thought one could be whatever one wanted to be
D. believed one would succeed without working hard
4. What can be inferred from this passage?
A. If someone wants to be successful,he should always stand firm.
B. Chicago was the promised land for the whites in 1933.
C. John's father died in an accident during the war.
D. John's mother was caring for him.

     More and more Chinese mainland buyers have in the past few weeks been queuing to cross the border into Hong Kong to lessen growing financial pressure led by rising food prices at home. Their shopping
baskets are full of sugar, salt and even tissue paper.
     While prices are rising so fast, many people are worrying out ways to cut down their expenses. Du Z
henqi, an 80-year-old Beijinger, grows different vegetables in the community yard. But this year, before they turned ripe, they were all picked by his neighbors. “The prices of vegetables have gone up dramatically,” said Du. “So I understand those people and it pleased me to offer them my help.” Du expressed his
sympathy for these who took away his vegetables without permission.
     The rise of food price in China has made people with low incomes feel serious financial pressure and
forced them to spend wisely.
     A collection of practical money-saving tips is thus becoming increasingly popular among Chinese
citizens. If you search “money-saving strategies” in Baidu, you will find 4.27 million entries in 0.19 seconds. The collection provides tips such as choosing local and seasonal products, avoiding buying vegetables on
rainy or snowy days when higher transport costs increase prices, using websites for purchases, and
planting vegetables on the balcony. Some consider buying in large quantity to stay within a tight budget.
     Fei Yuqin, who lives in Shanghai, frequently hurries to a farmers’ market before 6 a.m. to buy large
amounts of vegetables for her family and neighbors. “Instead of buying small amounts, I buy large amounts of vegetables at the market and get a 50-percent discount.”
     With these tips, many people have become experts in cutting household expenses. However, financial
pressure caused by the current round of price rising still troubles many Chinese people.
1. The underlined word “l(fā)essen” in Paragraph 1 probably means "_______".
A. indicate
B. increase
C. remove

B. Du Zhenqi is so angry with those picking his vegetables without permission.
