B
While both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western world, it's good to know there are some differences in culture. If you
are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.
One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解，認(rèn)為)time and space. For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old. However, perception of dis?tance seems to be the opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilome?tres a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated. In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.
Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States. American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自動變速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手動變速器). European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped, while American cars are larger and more square-shaped. Trucks and limousines(豪華轎車)are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.
The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States. In America? parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are expected to attend college there.
6.The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to_________________ .
A. tell the differences between Europe and America
B. advise people to travel to Europe and America
C. introduce the topic of this passage to the readers
D. persuade people to live in a European country

C A hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.

A. people like parking their cars on the road
B. the cars go through the parks now and then
C. it is easy to park and drive on the highway
D. parking is not easy and the traffic is heavy
9. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that
A. Americans are richer than Europeans
B. Americans work harder than Europeans

There was a sweet smell of incense (香)in the air as the we 11-muscled man moved his legs into a position well behind his head. It was something that the human body really should not be able to do. But what else would you expect at the First World Yoga Champion?ship?
On September 25， the world's leading yoga experts arrived in the US to find out who was the best. But the real prize was to turn yoga into a proper Olympic event.
"Yoga is a combination of bodybuilding ， Miss World, Mr Universe and gymnastics, " said champion?ship organizer Bikram Choudhury. " There are some 70 people from more than 20 countries competing in this event. Why not have yoga at the Olympics?"
The public cannot decide whether or not Chouldhury's dream will come true. But he is right about one thing: yoga has become popular with young and old people all over the world. In the US alone, 15 million people practise yoga. Everyone is at it, including Madonna and Ricky Martin.
Yoga started in India more than 5 ， 000 years ago. The name means "to join together". That is to bring the body and mind together into one pleasing experience. The whole system of yoga is built on three things: exer?cise, breathing and meditation(沉思).
The yoga that we know today is mostly physical yo?ga. It's seen as a type of exercise, but is different from sports like football or running. When we do yoga, we move our body into positions that stretch the muscles and joints, making them stronger.
One of the best things about yoga is the fact that everyone can do it. To women, it means a flat stomach, more shapely legs and a graceful body. To men, it is a way of becoming stronger and more athletic.
There are also specially-designed yoga classes for pregnant women or children suffering from mental disa?bilities, such as autism (孤獨癥).As for teenagers, meditation and simple breathing exercises can help them learn to calm down, relax and concentrate better. But teenagers under 16 are not supposed to do the body ex?ercises as they could have a bad effect on their natural growth.

A. Something sportsmen should not do in practising yoga.
B. Basic skills are required in performing yoga.
C. The performance of the sportsmen in the First World Yoga Championships.
D. The unique setting where yoga is performed.

At a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improve?ment in both genders (性別).
David Chadwell, South Carolina's expert of single gender education says, "Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.，，
Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. "Boys under?stand the world as objects moving through space, " he says.
The male eye is also drawn to cooler colours like silver and black. It's no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy-colourful family, like girls do in their classes.
The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colours like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn't need to move as much as in boy's class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colours in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.
Boys and girls also hear differently. "When some?one speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling, ，，Chadwell says. "They think you're mad and can shut down. " Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls' teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys' teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.
A boy's nervous system causes him to be more cau?tious when he is standing, moving, and the room tem?perature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains ， a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Girls also respond to stress differ?ently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts (腸道)，leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.
These differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds. " Single gender programmes are about making the best use of the learning." 1. What is David Chadwell's attitude towards separating
elementary-age boys and girls while learning?
A. Supportive. B. Worried.
C. Concerned. D. Uninterested.
2. To attract boys in a class, the teacher .
A. must have a moving object in this hand
B. needs to wear clothes in a warm colour
C. has to speak politely
D. had better move constantly while teaching
3. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
(1 = Paragraph 1 2=Paragraph 2 3 = Paragraph 3 …8=Paragraph 8)
4. Which of the following students is most likely to be focused?
A. A boy sitting in a warm room.
B. A standing boy who is faced with stress.
C. A girl standing in a cold room.
D. A girl who is facing a lot of pressure.

Probably it's one of my brothers. 1 kept think?ing about that February windy day back in 1992 when we laid you in the ground and how I just wanted to scream, "Don't put my daddy in the ground; it's dark down there.，，

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the sit?uations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world lan?guage. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the im?portant works in science? technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these coun?tries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as govern?ment, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Some 260 million people in the world have an ad?equate working knowledge of English.
B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.
C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of Eng?lish.
D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.
2. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?
A. It was popular during Shakespeare's time.
B. It is used in former British colonies.
C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.
D. It is a world language that is used for interna?tional communication.
3. What forms an adequate working knowledge of Eng?lish?
A. The ability to read a newspaper.
B. It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.
C. Being a multilingual. .
D. Being a native speaker.
