19.Today I went to Sam's school in the UK.It was really different from my school in China.
Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts,boys wore grey trousers,and everyone wore the school tie.
Some of Sam's lessons were a bit strange for me.We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson,and there were quite some old words like"thou"and"thee"to mean"you".In history we studied 20th Century China.It was strange hearing a foreign side of history-and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names!
Classes were also a lot more relaxed than in China.Teachers were called"sir"or"miss",everyone shouted answers and raised their hands in classes.It was more like adebate  than a class.A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class.
At break we bought potato chips and cookies in the dining room.Lunch was later than in China-at 1o'clock.We had big plates of pie with carrots.For dessert there was hot sweet rice called rice pudding.
It was good that I'd had an excellent lunch,because at Sam's school Monday afternoons are taken up with sports.
I played my first game of netball-a bit like basketball,but with some differences.Luckily I'd had a quick look in the rule book before I tried to join in the game.

Are You Right Handed or Left Handed?

Which hand do you use when write? About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(別扭的).

In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.

What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They conclude(得出結(jié)論) that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed.. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It’s simply like the color of our eyes – some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.

However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.

Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在視覺方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.

If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you’re mixed handed, you can probably remember.

1.If right-handers cut up potatoes with their left hand, they will .

A. get hurt B. give up cutting

C. feel awkward D. change their tools

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Causes of being left handed.

B. Encouragement to left-handers

C. Punishment for using the left hand.

D. Changes in opinions on left-handers.

3.According to the passage, right-handers .

A. learn better visually

B. are good organizers

C. are better at single sports

D. give clear directions to others

4.From the passage, we can learn that left-handers .

A. may be more talkative and outgoing

B. are ordinary people like right-handers

C. might remember everyday things better

D. no longer need to use right-handed tools

14.Huckleberry Finn,the great character from the Mark Twain book,did not like school.He
preferred floating down the Mississippi River on a raft and looking for adventure.That's why
generations of schoolboys have loved reading Huckleberry Finn:they feel the same way about
school as he did.
For many boys,being forced to sit all day in a school room is like being punished for a crime they did not commit.There are endless hours of boredom spent learning things they have no interest in.That's why many boys do poorly in school and many give up on education altogether.
Ironically(具有諷刺意味的是),the whole idea for schools was invented for boys.If a boy wanted to grow up to be a useful man,he had to be educated.By and by,people realized that educating girls was a good idea,too.And,ironically again,it was discovered that the school
system suits girls just fine;so fine that girls now do much better than boys in school.
No one really knows why that is.Some say that girls mature(發(fā)育成熟)quicker than boys and adapt better to school life.Some also say that the school system and the curriculum(課程) have changed to encourage girls but the needs of boys have been overlooked.
Educators are now trying to find ways to get boys to be more successful in school.There are
suggestions to separate the sexes and teach boys separately.There are also suggestions to change
the curriculum to make it more interesting for boys.
Whatever the changes are,boys still will be boys,and dreams of floating down the Mississippi River will always be an attractive choice to just sitting in a classroom.
52.Huckleberry Finn isB.
A.a(chǎn) boy of Mark Twain's  B.a(chǎn) character in a book
C.a(chǎn)n American writer   D.a(chǎn) river's name
53.Many boys do poorly in school becauseC.
A.they give up on education
B.they're punished for a crime they did not commit
C.they have no interest in the things they're learning
D.they prefer floating down the Mississippi River on a raft
54.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4means thatD.
A.more boys are needed   
B.boys need to be cared about a lot
C.the needs of boys have been very important
D.People have paid little attention to the needs of boys.
55.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?D
A.Girls now do much better than boys in school.
B.The school system has changed to encourage girls.
C.Girls mature quicker than boys and adapt better to school life.
D.The curriculum has changed to be more interesting for boys.52-55:BCDD.

4.How would we travel without maps?It would be a bit adventurous (冒險的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station.In fact,a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers,especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps?Well,it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse.People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines.And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time,not distance,to measure (計量) journeys:the next village is a three-hour ride,for example.
In fact,in the earliest maps,people didn't draw landmarks.They drew the stars.It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行).The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today.When towns and cities were built,people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863and it also used a road map style.But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London.Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at.His new design (設計) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first.But the passengers loved it and in 1933,700,000copies were printed.
These days,of course,you can ride a bike,drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly,using a GPS.It's really difficult to get lost!
77.What was drawn in the earliest maps?A
A.Stars.B.Landmarks.
C.Cities and towns,D.Mountains and rivers.
78.When did road maps come out?D
A.Around 15th and 16th centuries.B.When people began to travel by train.
C.When people began to travel by sea.D.When cities and towns appeared.
79.Which of the following is true?B
A.A GPS helped people to travel long time ago.
B.Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps.
C.The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.
D.Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers.
80.What is the main idea of the passage?A
A.Maps have a long history.B.We never get lost these days.
C.We can't travel without maps.D.Henry Beck designed a new map.

11.When your great-grandparents(曾祖父母)were   young,the world was very different.People did not have the kind of technology that we have today to communicate  with each other.Things such as cell phones and computers were not yet invented.It took longer For people to get news about each other.Today's technology makes it easier and faster to stay close to people.
Long ago,people  wrote letters to stay in touch.From 1860-1861,letters were carried by horses.Only the fastest horse riders were paid to carry letters across the country.Then trains began to carry letters from city to city.By the early 1900s,planes were a faster way to carry letters across the country and around the world.
As times change,new inventions have made it easy to contact friends and family in seconds!People began to use telephones in the late 1800s.Modern phones can do many things.Cell phones can be carried with us wherever we travel.Some phones can even let you take pictures.Theseimages  can be sent to other cell phones.
Computers  have made some of the biggest  changes in communication.The internet sends e-mail messages around the world in seconds!
Although  new technology  helps us stay in touch with each other,many people still enjoy sending and getting letters.With so many ways to communicate,it's easy to find your favourite way to stay in touch.

Many British people say that the main reason they have a pet is to keep them company (陪伴他們).According to a recent report,60% of people who live on their own have a pet as company.A lot of pet owners treat their pet just like one of the family.Many cat owners make holes in their doors so their cats can come and go as they please.Dog owners spend a lot of time walking their dogs.
Another reason to own a pet is for protection,especially dogs.Most thieves would
think twiceabout breaking into (闖入) a house if they could hear a large dog barking inside.Some people choose their pets because of their beauty.The most beautiful animals can win prizes at pet shows!
In the UK,some pet owners think that nothing is too good for their animal!Some people take their pet to the animal doctor more often than they visit their own doctor.They might even take a day off work to care for a pet when it is sick.Many people talk to their pets,and some talk to them over the telephone.And of course,they mustn't forget to celebrate the animal's birthday!
