【題目】Being active in your local community is important because it is an essential part of living a satisfying life.

Humans by nature are social beings. We need to be around other people to feel happy, secure and safe. Hanging out with friends helps, but that isn’t quite enough. We need to be active in our local community.

Everyone benefits from a strong community. Being active within our society helps individuals feel less lonely, have a more vital and interesting life, stay healthy and feel happier. Being active within our society brings us inspiration, helps us succeed in business and helps us find our way in life.

Communities thrive﹙興旺﹚ when people are better connected. Local economies expand, businesses succeed, education grows, support systems become more efficient, and so on.

There may be some obstacles on the way to being active in the local community. People may become disconnected from their community. It is a modern day reality that people turn to their computers for connection with others. This can be a great thing, but it can also go too far and we can become separated from our local, physical world society. Computers are usually at their best when used as a tool to accomplish tasks and not as a portal (傳送門) into an online existence that controls our life. Online communities have become very real and they help millions feel more connected, but they must not take the place of our physical life community.[來(lái)

It is also common for people to find jobs online and to migrate to different locations around the world. This uproots﹙使人遷移他處居住﹚ us and takes us away from the local society we grew up in, forces us to make new friends and establish ourselves in a new community.

Becoming active in our community does require effort, but it’s well worth it. Understanding the importance of community and becoming more active within yours will greatly increase your quality of life.

【題目】Christmas is the biggest holiday in many countries including the US and the UK. Decorating Christmas trees, giving gifts and singing Christmas songs are just a few of the traditions that the two nations share. However, just as there are many cultural differences between the two, Christmas is not the same on both sides of the Atlantic. BBC has pointed out some differences.

According to BBC, the language of Christmas is not completely the same in the US and UK. “Americans will appear confused or chuckle(暗自笑) to themselves if you wish them ‘Happy Christmas’ instead of ‘Merry Christmas’,” BBC said. In addition, the shortening of Christmas to “Chrimbo” is almost unknown in the US. Another difference is the name of the white-bearded man. British people usually call him “Father Christmas” while Americans refer to him only as “Santa Claus” or simply “Santa”.

A good, old US Christmas dinner doesn’t necessarily（必然地）have turkey. BBC explained that Americans prepare special food for Thanksgiving, and they often go for ham or roast beef on Christmas Day. Christmas cake, and Christmas pudding are popular desserts(餐后甜點(diǎn))in the UK. In the US, however, your post-meal treat will probably be one of the following: pumpkin pie, fruit cake, apple pie, or sweet potato pie.

In the US, but not in the UK, the beautiful Christmas decorations you see in films are real, and some people even turn their houses into light shows, according to BBC. “Driving through American suburbia (郊區(qū)) at Christmas can sometimes feel like a tour of Disney World,” the news network described.

【1】What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Christmas in the world

B. Christmas and traditions

C. The importance of Christmas

D. Christmas on both sides of the Atlantic

【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. “Chrimbo” is more widely used in the UK.

B. We’d better say “Happy Christmas” to Americans.

C. White-bearded man is usually called “Father Christmas” in the US.

D. The language of Christmas is almost the same in the US and UK.

【3】Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Christmas is not exactly the same in the US and UK.

B. You can see the beautiful Christmas decorations in the UK.

C. Christmas cake, pudding are popular with American people.

D. You may have apple pie or fruit cake in your post-meal in the UK.

【4】Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A science magazine. B. A culture magazine.

C. A guide book. D. A business report.

【題目】A visit to NASA Langley Research Center would be very exciting. You could meet NASA scientists and engineers working with wind tunnels.

Wind tunnels are basically tubes through which air—or a gas—is moved to make “wind” in the tube. This “wind” moves past objects such as airplanes or just parts from airplanes.

It s always a good idea to test a new aircraft design in a wind tunnel before you build the real aircraft. Models tested in wind tunnels will always go through design changes before engineers are satisfied with its design and test results.

Wind tunnels are constructed with some very wide sections as well as some sections much smaller in size. An “open return wind tunnel”is open at both ends of the tube. It is usually largest at one end of the tube where you may even see the fan blade(風(fēng)扇片)that creates the wind. This tube gets smaller as you move away from the fan blade. The tube begins to straighten in the next part of the wind tunnel called the Test Section. This is where you place the model for testing. The tube widens again as you move away from the Test Section.

Another wind tunnel is the “closed return” design. This tunnel is completely contained inside a building. The tunnel moves in a “l(fā)oop” inside the building. A fan is located in the tunnel on one side of the building and the test model is located in the tunnel's Test Section on the other side of the building.

NASCAR race teams even test their race cars in wind tunnels to test and improve a car's design. These teams work hard to reduce a car's drag. In less than 150 years, wind tunnels have allowed mankind to improve cars on the ground, aircraft in the atmosphere, and spacecrafts in space. We can only imagine what will happen with wind tunnels during the next hundred years.

【1】What could be the best title of the passage?

A．What Are Wind Tunnels Made of?

B．What Is a Wind Tunnel and How It Works?

C．Where Can Wind Tunnels Be Found?

D．Why Are Wind Tunnels Used?

【2】Which of the following is the right shape of an “open return wind tunnel”？

【3】In the “close return” wind tunnel, the fan is fixed________.

A．in the Test Section on the other side of the building

B．next to the models in the building

C．a(chǎn)t one end of the opening

D．on the other side of the Test Section

【4】By reducing a race car's drag, ________.

A．the car will becomes lighter

B．the car will be easy to operate

C．the car will move faster

D．the car will look more beautiful

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

That our students rarely get the opportunity to use their imagination was an open secret among Chinese people. Now，a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world.

The survey covering 21 countries，conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization，showed Chinese students excelled at math，beating their peers from other countries. But when it came to using their imagination，they were tied for the last place. And in creativity，they were fifth from the bottom.

The survey results are not shocking，given the way our children are taught in schools and at home. But they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways.

Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination. Right from the day they enter school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams. Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors. And to pass those exams，they are made to learn by fixed standard answers.

Teachers dare not encourage students to think outside the box. Teachers don't like students questioning them，killing the curiosity of the young minds. For children，there's hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home.

Israel shares the values of education with China. But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli parents treat their children and we do. Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children. Instead，they encourage them to learn how to live independently. In contrast，Chinese parents go to extremes，allowing their children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a “mistake”．

The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds to imagination and creativity. It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they should do to let our children's imagination and creativity blossom.

【1】Based on the passage，the creativity of the Chinese students ranks ________ among the 21 countries.

A．the 5th

B．the 17th

C．the 21st

D．the 1st

【2】Why is the imagination of the Chinese students so poor?

A．Their parents often improve their educational ways.

B．They are thought to be lacking in curiosity.

C．Their teachers are afraid of being questioned.

D．They are not encouraged to imagine both at home and in class.

【3】What does the underlined word “mollycoddle” probably mean in Paragraph 6?

A．spoil

B．motivate

C．a(chǎn)ppreciate

D．scold

【4】It can be learned from the passage Israeli parents ________.

A．lay much more emphasis on education than Chinese ones

B．a(chǎn)llow their children to live in whatever way they like

C．focus more attention on developing their children's living ability

D．encourage their children to commit mistakes in lives

【5】Israel is introduced in the passage mainly ________.

A．to enrich the content of the text

B．to support and advocate Israel education

C．to illustrate the disadvantages of Chinese education

D．to criticize the wrong behavior of Chinese parents

Dear Tom,

I’m an Australian boy of 16 years old, which lives in Sydney. I like Chinese very much, but I want a pen pal in China. At school I like playing football and tennis. Our favorite subject is science because it’s very interesting. I won’t like history, for I think it’s rather boring. I play guitar well, so I join in the school rock band. In the afternoon we usually play football or tennis. We usually got home at about 5:30 pm. For weekends I often go out for a swim, which is really relaxed. Do you like sports and games? What do you like to play?

I’m looking forward to get your early reply.

Yours truly,

Jack
