A A young man asked Albert Einstein , the great German scientist , what the secret of success is.The scientist told him that the secret of success is hard work.A few days later the young man asked the same question again.Einstein was very annoyed . He did not say anything ,but wrote a few words on a piece of paper.On it was written: A=X+Y+Z.“What does this mean ?” asked the young man.“A means “ success”” explained the old scientist.“X stands for hard work ,Y for good method(方法)and Z Z means stop talking and get down to work.” 1.The young man _________.A.wanted to meet Einstein B.wanted to be a great scientist like Einstein C.was eager(渴望)to know the secret of success D.wanted to be a student of Einstein 2.In Einstein’s opinion the secret of success was ________.A.to work with great energy(精力,活力)B.to study hard day and night C.to learn from great scientists D.to raise(提出)questions as many as you could 3.“Y” stands for _______.A.hard work B.great energy C.great success D.good manner(方法)4.The word “annoyed” means ________.A.angry B.sad C.lovely D.glad 5.Einstein was a man who ______ A.liked to talk with young people B.liked to help others C.liked to make friends with young people D.liked to work , but didn’t like to talk
B British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry ,so newspapermen write as few words as possible.They tell their readers at once what happened ,where ,when and how it happened and what was the result : how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on.Readers want the fact(事实)set out as fully and accurately as possible.Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident.So a newspaperman always likes to get some information(信息)from someone who was there, which can be given in the person’s own words.Because he can use only a few words ,the newspaperman must choose those words carefully ,every one must be effective(有效).Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes” he shouted”;instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain”, he will write” they thundered down the mountainside”.Because many of the readers aren’t very clever, and most of them are in a hurry.1.From the text, we learn that newspapermen write as few words as possible ,because readers___.A.want to know more about the news B.take no interest in what has happened

On Thanksgiving Day,most of us will sit down to enjoy a turkey dinner.The bird also shows up on the table at Christmas.How did we start with the tradition of savoring turkeys during the holidays? They were fresh,cheap,and big enough to feed a group of people.Americans like having large poultry(家禽)for celebrations because they don't need to pay a lot for the birds.Cows were more useful alive than dead,and beef wasn't widely offered until the late 19th century.Chicken was more highly regarded than it is today.Venison(鹿肉)would have been another choice,especially during the 17th and 18th centuries.Eating turkey was also a British holiday custom(风俗,习惯)people brought to the New World.
Among the big birds,turkey is the most suitable for Thanksgiving.Turkeys were born in the spring.They spend about seven months eating insects on the farm.By Thanksgiving,they have grown to about 10 pounds.Turkeys are cheaper than geese,which are more difficult to raise,and cheaper by the pound than chickens.Cost is an important factor for holiday shoppers,because people will not prepare just one meal.Thanksgiving Day is the time to bake meal and other types of pies.The foods can last through the winter.

The New Year is one of the happiest holidays in Russia.Christmas was a very important Russian holiday before.However,in the past one hundred years,the New Year has taken its place.
The New Year is also celebrated with a Christmas tree that has begun to be called a New Year tree.Russian people regard the coming year as the beginning of new life,a chance to make dreams come true.There is a tradition to make a wish while drinking champagne(香槟酒).Actually,champagne is the traditional drink of the first half hour of the New Year.And then beer or vodka(伏特加酒)takes its place.People make a lot of preparations before New Year's Day.They clean their houses and cook a lot of food.
Russian New Year is different from American Christmas.It is usually celebrated with friends while in America Christmas is usually celebrated with family.The New Year party is usually a very happy party with a lot of toasts(干杯,敬酒),changing clothes,exchanging presents and congratulating each other.
Russians can have a lot of fun on New Year's Day.December 31st is working day,but January 1st and 2nd are holidays,so it is a tradition for people to stay awake all night on New Year's Eve.And even children try not to go to sleep for as long as they can.People go out into the streets at night,light New Year trees and put them all around the town.

3.T 根据第三段的内容可知,在新年人们通常交换礼物,所以本句正确。
4.F 根据最后一段内容可知,12 月还在工作,1 月 1 — 2 号是新年,所以该题是错误的。
5.T 根据第一段的内容可以确定本句是正确的。七
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up,my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house.Walking together,my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences.He always told me,“You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.I really got a lot from mountain-climbing.It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain.It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old.During the first few hours of climbing,I enjoyed the flowers and trees,and the birds' singing,but as time passed,I got a pain in both of my legs.I wanted to quit climbing.In fact,I hated it at that moment,but my father said to me,“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain,but you can't see it before you reach the top.Only there at the top,can you see all of the nice things,just like in life.” At that time,I was too young to understand his words.But later after that,I got new hope and confidence(信心).I found myself standing at the top of the sky,which was as clear as crystal(水晶).

Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper,saying,“Now,you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip,right?” Tom,her brother,nodded.He wasn't able to go last year because he hadn't earned enough money during the summer.This year he came up with a plan. He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired.They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her.Why not make more necklaces and sell them? “OK”,said Mary,“The first thing you need to do is to figure out(计算)how much you have now.” “I have $20.00 in the bank and $7.25 in my room,” explained Tom.
“That gives you a total of $27.25.” said Mary,“That is called your capital.The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace.” “Well,the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose.I'll have to buy the beads(小珠子)and string,” said Tom. Mary wrote on the piece of paper: CAPITAL $27.25 EXPENSES Feathers no cost String for 10 necklaces $ 2.50 Beads for necklaces + $ 15.00 Total $ 17.50 “How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary.
“Hmm,” Tom looked thoughtfully and said,“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $7.50.if I charge $6.00,people will think that's a bargain.” “OK,If you sell each necklace for $6.00,you'll make a good profit(利润)on each then,” said Mary.
“Hurry!” Tom cried,“If I sell 20 necklaces,I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over.” 根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
()1.According to the passage,Mary is ________.
()2.The underlined word “bargain” in this story means “_______”.()3.The best title for this story is ________.

D.he took the cost of each necklace from the amount of money he had to begin with. 答案:
1.helpful 根据短文中的内容可知,Mary 是一个很有爱心的人,所以填 helpful。2.something sold cheap 根据短文中“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $7.50 if I charge $6.00,”的内容,可以推断是“便宜”的意思。
3.How to Earn Money for a Trip 根据短文内容可以推测出重点是讲怎样为旅游而筹备资金,所以确定是 How to Earn Money for a Trip。
4.$75 根据短文内容可知,Tom 买十条项链的资金是 $17.5,那么 20 条就是 $35,每条卖 $6.00,销售完可以得到 $85.00 的利润,确定旅游要花 $75.00。
5.A 根据短文内容可知,Tom 旅游的费用是来自卖完 20 条项链的利润,所以选 A。
