Sailors used to speak of a “Jack”when they meant a flag which was set near the bow of a sailing ship. The flag showed the country to which the ship belonged. The Union Jack became the flag of Great Britain. Australia's flag has the Union Jack in the top left hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross. They have kept this small part of Britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from Britain.
Australia's flag is the same color as the Union Jack--red, white and blue. The act of joining together is called a“ Union”. The Union Jack was the name of the flag made when England, Scotland and Ireland joined together to make one country.
It all began in 1707 when England and Scotland joined together to become one nation. A flag was made using two crosses--one for the patron saint of each country. The word “patron” means protector. Many centuries before the English had taken St George as their patron saint, his emblem (標(biāo)志 ) was a red cross on a white background. The Scottish patron saint was St Andrew. In memory of him, they used a white cross on a blue background. This cross was shaped like the letter “X”. The new flag was a mixture of both flags with two sets of crosses. When Ireland joined England and Scotland in 1800,another cross was added. St Patrich's cross of Ireland was red and also shaped like an “X”. All three flags now made up the Union Jack.
(1)The Union Jack is a kind of ________ and contains
[ ]
A. flag; three crosses
B. ship; four crosses
C. flag; two crosses
D. ship; three crosses
(2)How many crosses were there in the flag before Ireland joined England and Scotland?

(3)Why does Australia have the Union Jack in its flag?
[ ]
A. Because Australians respect the English.
B. Because the Union Jack is colorful.
C. Because people from Britain settled in Australia first.
D. Because people from Britain brought the Union Jack to Australia.
(4)Which of the following is not true?
[ ]
A. The emblem (象征) of the English was a red cross on a white background.
B. The Scottish used a white cross on a blue background in memory of St Andrew.
C. Australia's flag is the same color as the Union Jack.
D. The Irish used a red cross on a blue background in memory of St George.
(5)The colors of the flag of Great Britain now are ________.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。(請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求)。
Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.
Here are my tips:
Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance(相識的人).
Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly(though I am not naturally sociable). And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.
Take the first step.
All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.
Use classes to get to know people.
I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class(before, after, or even during class time)is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.
Make friends slowly.
I couldn't get discouraged (泄氣的) when it took a while to make friends.It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.
Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!
1.For what purpose does the writer write this passage?(Please answer within 15 words.)
____________________________________________________________________
2.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others.
_____________________________________________________________________
3.Fill in the blank with a sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.) _____________________________________________________________________
4.Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)
Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.
____________________________________________________________________
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese. ___________________________________________________________________

閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息,并按照要求匹配信息。首先,請閱讀以下世界古代奇觀的簡介:
A. The Great Wall was begun more than two thousand years ago. It was built to keep out invaders. It extends about six thousand seven hundred kilometers across northern China. Today, the Chinese government is working to repairparts of the wall and protect as much of it as possible. The Great Wall of China is one of the largest building projects ever attempted. It is also the only object built by people that can be seen from space.
B. The Coliseum in Rome, Italy was built almost two thousand years ago. The ancient Roman sports center could hold fifty thousand people who gathered there to watch public events. Experts say it is one of the finest examples of Roman design and engineering.
C. The city of Machu Picchu in Peru includes some of the best stone works ever built. The ancient Inca people built Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains, northwest of the city of Cuzco. Machu Picchu is about thirteen square kilometers. Historians say it might have been one of the last places of safety for the Incas who were fleeing invaders from Spain.
D. India is famous for its temples and buildings. The most famous is the Taj Mahal, considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever built. The fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, ordered it built in Agra in sixteen thirty-one. He built it as a burial place in memory of his wife. The Taj Mahal has tiny colorful stones inlaid in white marble. The structure seems to change color during different times of the day and night.
E. Abu Simbel was built more than three thousand years ago. It is about 280 kilometers south of Aswan on the western bank of the Nile River. It took an army of workmen and artists more than thirty years to cut the huge temple into the face of a rock mountain. In front of the main temple are four huge statues of Ramses the Second. Each statue is about twenty meters high.
F. Stonehenge also belongs on a list of ancient wonders. It is a circle of huge stones in southeastern England. Experts believe work began on Stonehenge about five thousand years ago. We know very little about Stonehenge. We do not even know how these huge stones were moved to the area. Much has been written about Stonehenge, but experts say they still are not sure what it was used for.
