It is easy to find your way about in New York. It is laid out so regularly. Instead of streets winding and twisting (迂回) as they do in London, they are all regular and well planned. The streets running north and south are called “avenues” and are numbered, e.g. 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, etc. The streets going east and west are called “streets” and are also numbered, e.g. 51st Street, 63rd Street. It is all much more logical (合理的) than London’s street names. But I couldn’t help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are London’s illogical but colorful names of streets, e.g. “Bishopgate” (which is not a gate and hasn’t a Bishop in it); “Haymarket” or “Corn market” (where you won’t see any hey or corn) or “Poultry” (without a living chicken anywhere in sight) or “Thread needle Street” (where you won’t find little girls learning to sew).
【小題1】In the second sentence of the passage, “l(fā)aid out” means ______.
| A．built | B．be put | C．designed | D．cut down |

Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2,000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
Researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.
African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.
Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."
1.Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?
A．Whites—Native Hawaiians
B．Africans—Americans—Latinos
C．Asians—Native Hawaiians
D．Africans—Americans—Native Hawaiians
2.Researchers agree that it is _____ that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.
A．the larger amount of smoking than white people
B．the living style or habit of the blacks
C．the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs
D．the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke
3.People in the new study are made up of _____.
A．heavy smokers in America B．the black and white people
C．the Asians and Hawaiians D．smokers and non-smokers
4.The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to _____.
A．explain different races react to some diseases differently
B．tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers
C．show a big step people have taken in the medicine area
D．support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers

Whether I’m looking for a good chat with some old Mends or a quiet place to meet a colleague, the pub will be the place I always choose.
I could, of course, go to a bar. But a pub, I always find, is far more comfortable and has a more relaxed atmosphere.
Many people in the UK also have a favorite pub at the end of the road where they live or nearby to where they work. I can almost always guarantee that I’ll bump into someone I know at my “l(fā)ocal”, as we British call our nearest pub.
In fact, many people from the UK say that the pub is a cornerstone (基礎(chǔ)) of British life. Coming together over a drink, usually of beer, is generally considered the best way to catch up with friends. For those who are a little reserved (內(nèi)向的), as the British sometimes are, it’s the best way to open up and get chatting.
However, this habit is slowly changing among some British people. According to a survey completed in August by UK trade magazine The Publican, eating, rather than drinking, has become the main source of income for our 52,000 pubs.
The gastropub (美食酒吧), with its greater emphasis on food, is primarily responsible. All over the country, this more expensive type of pub has been springing up, providing a place for more formal meetings with business partners. Wine is often drunk instead of the traditional beer.
But not everyone’s happy. Many people hate the fact that some local pubs are closing because new gastropubs are proving more profitable. “Beer sales are sinking and many pubs are struggling to survive,” Rob Haward, of the British Beer and Pub Association, told UK newspaper The Daily Mail.
For my part, I’m going to do all I can to keep the local British pub alive. It will be the first place I visit when I go back home.
1.. The article is mainly about .
A. the British pub losing popularity B. the author’s love of pubs
C. how the British socialize D. the local British pub
2.. Many British people say that the pub is a cornerstone of British life because .
A. it is nearby and convenient
B. it is a great place for meeting friends
C. it is far more comfortable than a bar to have a drink
D. it is easy to bump into people they know in a pub ,
3.. From the text, we can conclude that gastropubs .
A. will replace the local pubs
B. attach more importance to drinks
C. are somewhere between a restaurant and a bar
D. attract beer lovers as well as wine lovers
4.. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A. The author is in favor of gastropubs.
B. Wine is thought to show one’s class and taste.
C. British people do not go to pubs as often as before.
D. Local pubs are being seriously affected by gastropubs.

The story begins with fishing.
Once a boy and his father went fishing before bass (a kind of special fish) season opened. They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (魚餌) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics (倫理道德)are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
1. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?
A. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
B. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.
D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.
2.From the text we know that the father _____.
A. disliked the huge fish B. was firm and stubborn
C. didn’t love his son D. always disagreed with his son
3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.
A. they might catch a big fish there
B. he was taught a moral lesson there
C. it was a most popular fishing spot
D. their children enjoyed fishing there
4.What does the story imply?
A. An ethical decision is always easy to make.
B. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes
D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions
5.What kind of the person the father is?
A. kind B. honest C. optimistic D. satisfied

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. 72 Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. 73 Now, people in 450 cities around the world are using the Web to meet people or find a job.
