Are you a gourmand(美食主義者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program?“A Bite of China(舌尖上的中國)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.
Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 when I was in high school.
The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning（發(fā)牢騷）, and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!
I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.
“The scores were not very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”
A 55. That’s me!
Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?”
“I made a 55,” I said.
A frown (皺眉) now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference.
“You failed!” my father replied.
“But it’s the highest!” I insisted.
“I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said.
For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom (智慧) of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
【小題1】In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I ___________ .

A．lowered my head B．covered my score up
C．walked home alone D．explained immediately
【小題2】 A frown stood on my father’s face because he thought ____. .
A．I did a bad job in the test. B．I gave a good excuse.
C．I became the worst student. D．I stood in his shoes
【小題3】 We can infer from the passage that _____..
A．the father was strict with his child.
B．the writer was always poor in tests.
C．Mr. Right was worried about the writer.
D．the writer was always happy with his scores.
【小題4】Which is the best title of the passage?

Everything that humans hear is in the form of waves(波). Just as the eye sees light waves in the form of colors, the ear hears sound waves in the form of noises. The ear and the eye turn these different waves into signals that the brain(大腦) can make sense of.
The ears and brain have an amazing ability to recognize(識別) particular sounds. For example, a mother often can tell when her baby is crying even if there are other crying babies in the same room. This is because the sound of her baby’s cry has special meaning to her and the brain has recorded its importance.
The ability to recognize sounds improves with experiences. As the brain receives information about sounds from day to day, it stores the information in its memory. When the brain hears new sounds, it gives meaning to them based on the information already in the memory. This is why certain words or songs can make a person happy. Often it is not the words or songs themselves that cause this feeling. The sounds are connected to happy memories for that person.
Another hearing process controlled by the brain is to decide where a sound is coming from. One ear is usually closer to the source(來源) of a sound than the other ear is. Sound waves are stronger when they reach the ear that is closer. They also reach the closer ear first. The brain recognizes these differences and uses them to decide the location of the source of the sound.
【小題1】Which of the following shows the normal hearing process of a mother hearing her baby crying?
a. The ears receive the sound waves.
b. The mother recognizes her baby’s cry.
c. The baby’s turn the sound waves into signals.
d. The baby’s cry travels in the form of sound waves.
e. The brain connects the signals to the information in the memory.

A．d-a-c-b-e B．d-a-c-e-b
C．a(chǎn)-d-c-b-e D．a(chǎn)-d-c-e-b
【小題2】Certain words or songs can change a person’s moods mainly because of his _____.
A．lifestyle B．personality
C．experiences D．hobbies
【小題3】 Why does a person feel happy when they hear some songs?
A．Because certain words or songs can make a person happy.
B．Because a person has the ability to recognize the sounds
C．Because the certain sounds are connected to happy memories for that person.
D．Because the person feel the song is special
【小題4】According to the last paragraph, it will be the most difficult for a person who has lost the hearing in one ear to tell ______.
A．where the source of a sound is
B．how loud a sound is
C．when a sound starts to appear
D．what makes a sound
【小題5】What is the best title for this passage ?
A．Human Brain’s Amazing Facts
B．Human Hearing Characteristics
C．How To Improve Hearing
D．How Do Humans Hear

Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It’s neither China nor Japan. It’s Great Britain.
In the wild, tea plants may be 30 feet tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned. Pruning keeps the plant only three or four feet tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves and bud of each new shoot are picked. So to make money, tea plantations must be huge.
In general, there are two kinds of tea. Black tea and green tea. Black tea is fermented. In the process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. Green tea is steamed right after the leaves are picked. Green tea retains its healthy qualities. For example, it may prevent heart disease.
How did we get tea bag? The answer: by accident. Tea merchants used to send samples in tin boxes. This was costly. One merchant thought of a cheaper way. He sent samples in small silk bags. Customers would cut open the bag. They would brew the leaves as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured hot water over it. And the tea bag was born.
Shen Nong was the first to drink tea. (Shen was a Chinese emperor.) This was about 2737 B.C. Shen had bad digestion. So he drank several cups of hot water daily. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot. The next cup was poured. The water was now colored. Shen sipped it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was proud of his new drink. He served it to his guests. Word spread. People thought this way. Tea is good enough for the Emperor. So it must be good enough for the people. Tea became the drink of China.
【小題1】The best title for this passage should be ________________.

A．Black Tea B．Tea Plant
C．About Tea D．Tea Bag

A．must be pruned B．has a better taste

A Korean(韓國的) wave is sweeping across China. Many Chinese women think South Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun(金秀賢) and Lee Min-ho(李敏鎬) are their demigods(男神). Chinese people have different ideas about South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. And a big part of the credit(功勞) for that goes to You Who Came From The Star《來自星星的你》, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
In You Who Came From The Star ,the top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun(全智賢) and Kim Soo-hyun recently earned a popularity rating(收視率) of 24.8 percent in their country.  You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs(繼承者們) have  been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.
The two TV programs have several common elements(元素): a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves a woman and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs represent the purity of love. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still love Cinderella-type(灰姑娘型的) stories.
However, Chinese TV screens are full of poorly made soap operas(肥皂劇). Most of the Chinese TV dramas either describe the War against Japanese or blindly copy foreign programs. There are too many TV series on time travel or fights in the palace of Qing Dynasty (清朝1644-1911). These, in short, do harm to Chinese TV productions.
Hopefully, the success of South Korean TV programs will encourage Chinese TV drama makers to think of new ideas and give up their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.

【小題1】Who is the main actor in the Korean TV dramas You Who Came From The Star?

A．Jun Ji-hyun B．Kim Soo-hyun 
C．Lee Min-ho D．both A and B 
【小題2】 Why aren’t the Chinese dramas so popular as the Korean TV dramas?
A．The actors are not handsome. 
B．The stories are not interesting. 
C．Therearen’tstories about time travel. 
D．The fights in them are too cruel. 
【小題3】Which is not mentioned（提及，涉及） in the passage?
A．Therating of the Korean dramaThe Heirs. 
B．Many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. 
C．Too manyTV series on time traveldo harm toChinese TV productions. 
D．The success willencourageChinese TV drama makers to thinkofnew ideas. 
【小題4】Which is not the common element in Korean TV dramas?
A．A handsome actor B．Two main actors love the same woman 
C．Time travel D．Pure love story 
【小題5】Which is the best title for the passage?
A．The TV drama makers 
B．The actors in TV dramas 
C．TV dramas need creativestories 
D．The differences between China and Korea.

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member------these are all “game” ideas that you will have throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Some games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and teamwork.
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes, which is needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for a whole country, not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it------some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future.
Next time, when you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in your life.
【小題1】The underlined part “translate life into exciting dreams” in Paragraph 2 most probably
means that games can ________.

A．describe life in an exciting way
B．turn real-life experiences into a play
C．change people’s views of sporting events
D．teach children something useful and important
【小題2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The whole country.
B．The gold medal.
C．The event.
D．The game.
【小題3】According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A．It means a lot for a whole country.
B．It proves how excellent the winners are.
C．It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D．It brings the winners satisfaction and money.
【小題4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The most famous games are the Olympic Games.
B．People around the world play soccer just for fun.
C．The game called bones can be helpful to the Arabian children.
D．Nicolette Iribarne gives poor children a chance for a better life.
