III.Reading
Passage One:
Every people use its own special words to describe things and express ideas.Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years.Others are popular for just a short time.One such American expression is “Where’s the beef” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be.In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States.It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef.In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price.Kroc called his restaurant “McDonald’s”.Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting.By the end of the 1960s the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine.Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.Other business people watched his success.Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants.One company, called “Wendy’s”, began to compete with McDonald’s.Wendy’s said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else.The Wendy’s Company created the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make people believe that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest.It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea.The Wendy’s elevation advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers.The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny bit of meat.One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny voice.These advertisements for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television.As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”
1.The expression “Where’s the beef?” means_________________.A.something is not as good as described
B.the beef is not as good as it is said to be
C.the food has turned bad
D.the beef is lost
2.McDonald’s is a restaurant started by__________________.A.Ray Kroc
B.McDonald
C.Wendy
D.Three old women
3.Wendy’s made the expression known to everybody by________________.A.writing letters to peopleB.a TV advertisement
C.a newspaperD.a notice in front of the restaurant
4.Hamburgers have become very popular in America because they are_______________.A.made from beef
B.the only fast food in America
C.served quickly and at a low price
D.cheaper than any other kind of food
5.Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because______________.A.hamburgers are good to eat
B.they thought they could make a lot of money
C.hamburgers are east to make
D.they could sell hamburgers from California to Maine
Passage Two
Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life.We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again.Every day, my mother spoke to me in her
gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough.She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!
When the Great Depression(大萧条)hit, my mom lost her job.Then I left school to support the both of us.At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success.But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child.That was too expensive for the average American family.I told my wife that I was going to open a motel(汽车旅馆)for families that would never charge extra for children.There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters.She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style.As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges.But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation.But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.6.What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.A.caring B.moving C.encouraging D.interesting
7.According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?
A.Doctors.B.Nurses.C.Friends.D.Mom.8.What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?
A.His terrible experience in the hotel.B.His previous business success of various levels.C.His mom’s support.D.His wife’s suggestion.9.Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?
A.Modest, helpful, and hard-working.B.Loving, supportive and strong-willed.C.Careful, helpful and beautiful.D.Strict, sensitive and supportive.10.Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?
A.Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.B.Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.C.Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.D.Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.Passage Three
Tom is visiting me for a few days.He arrived last Tuesday, so he has been here for six days.I haven’t seen him since June, 1992, but he’s just like he always was.He hasn’t changed a bit.He talks too much, he eats too much, he smokes too much, and he stays up too late at night.I’ve been late every night since he got here.I’ve listened to him for hours every night.He’s talked about everything.He’s only been here since Tuesday, and I’ve heard his whole life story.Last night, he talked for several hours about his old schooldays.he night before he talked about his trip to Europe.And the night before that he talked about his job.He has had this job for only three months.But he doesn’t like it.He wants to find a better one.He’s had ten different jobs since 1992.And he hasn’t liked any of them.He says he doesn’t know why he can’t find a good job.I think I know what the problem is.I think he’s liked his jobs.But his boss he’s had since 1992 has thought, “Would you be good enough to shut up for a few minutes?”

任务型阅读(共4个小题;每小题2分,共8分)Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons.However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under.In its first study of children's safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign(NSKC)found that nearly half of the injury-related(与受伤相关的)deaths among children happen in summer.Experts are not surprised by the study’s results.They always know summer is a dangerous season for children.During the summer, children are out of school and spend more time outdoors.They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured.“While we encourage children to be active and spend time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety,” said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.To help children stay safe, the NSKC started a “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” Campaign(运动)during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12.Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC: ● Always wear your seat belt.● Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.● Wear a life jacket(救生衣)when on a boat or doing water sports.● Obey all traffic laws.根据短文内容回答下列问题。

Until last year, the saddest thing of my life was that my wife Alice and I couldn’t have any children.So we always
all the children in our street to our house for Christmas breakfast.Last year, Alice died.I was very
and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast.But Kathy and Pete, my next door
, asked me to join them for dinner
Christmas Eve.As soon as I arrived and took off my coat, Kathy asked me, “Do you have any milk at your house?”
“Yes,” I
75.“If you need some, I’ll go and get it right away.”
“Oh, that’s all right.Come and sit down.The kids have been
for you.Just give Peter your keys and let him do it.”
After a happy dinner with them, I went home.When I opened my door, I found my house had been decorated by Peter!It was
as beautiful as each Christmas before.At that moment, I wished that I could still serve the Christmas breakfast, but I had
no preparations(准备).Early the next morning, a little boy with a bag of candies
my bell.Before I could ask him what was happening, he was joining by two of his friends.Within fifteen minuets, my house was
of children, and I had all the food I needed for the usual Christmas breakfast.I had a happy breakfast with the children again.71.________

Saturday, April 28th Dear Miss Smith
How are you now? I miss you very much.I was lucky to be your student.I have made a great progress in English.I will finish my study in this school, and now I am busy preparing for the exams.I hope you can relax yourself and keep healthy.Best wishes to you!Love , Daming Stamp
Mary Smith, Thirteen Street 23, New York, America
K10002 10002 One possible version: There were frequent examinations before high school entrance examinations in my school.Some students think that it is necessary, but others don't think so.I think they are both reasonable, but I have the view of my own.In my opinion, frequent examinations can help us know how we have studied and find out what we haven’t mastered in our studies so that we can improve the way of learning.Besides, examinations can encourage us to study even harder, so we can make more progress.However, too many examinations will disturb our revision and make us feel tired and tense all the time.So I think necessary examinations are useful, but that too frequent examinations are harmful.

George had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison.Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury(陪审团)at his trial.Of course, he didn't tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day.He said to him, “Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money.I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it--that would be too much to expect.But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty.''
''Well, George,'' answered Jim, '' I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I can't promise anything.The other eleven people on the jury look terribly strong-minded to me.''
George said that he would quite understand if Jim was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.The trial went on, and at last the time came for the jury to decide whether George was guilty or not.It took them five hours, but in the end they found George guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy.Of course, George was very pleased, but he didn't have a chance to see Jim for some time after the trial.At last, however, Jim visited him in prison, and George thanked him warmly and asked him how he had managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.''Well, George,'' Jim answered, '' as I thought, those eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out.Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!''
