     Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in
the passage and required words limit. 
     Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable
(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers.
      Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing,
remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests
with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things. Many disposable things are
made of plastic, not easy to rot away. People throw them away after using them only once. It is a waste of
natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as
400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away
about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between
100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring
your own things and use them again and again.
     At home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to use daily
necessities (日用品) once more. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it
out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen,
use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A，B，C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Where and when were the first passports issued?

　　The idea of giving people some kind of document affording them safe passage through another country may go back as far as the Egyptian pharaohs (法老), who are thought to have issued their subjects (臣民) with cartouches (圖形) bearing the ruler's name.

　　One of the first references to an English passport was in the reign (統(tǒng)治) of King Henry V, who, in an act (法案) of 1414, issued “Safe Conducts” (安全通行證), warning foreigners to allow his subjects to move around unmolested (不受騷擾的) within certain parameters(界限) of destination, time and purpose. In return, no Englishman would injure or rob a foreigner who carried one of Henry's Safe Conducts.

When and why did the number 13become a symbol of bad luck?

　　The number 13 has been linked to untimely death since Jesus was betrayed (背叛) by Judas, who was the thirteenth person at the Last Supper. This helps explain why 13 is considered particularly dire (terrible) in the dining room. One superstition (迷信) states that the last to sit at a table for 13 will die within a year.

　　Another version is that the first to rise from the table will perish (die). So strong was the belief in England and Scotland that groups of 13 would sometimes try to cheat the devil by sitting or rising simultaneously, so that no one would be first or last.

　　Friday the thirteenth is considered doubly disastrous because Jesus was crucified on Friday.

　　Non-Christians, however, don't necessarily view 13 as unlucky. “In the Middle east, odd numbers tend to be regarded as good,” says University of Toronto anthropology professor Janice Bobby. In Chinese culture, instead of fearing 13, people avoid any number containing a four because it has the same pronunciation as the word for death.

1．The passport first issued in England was to ________.

[　　]

A．show King Henry V's power

B．protect the foreigners traveling in England

C．make people travel safely at any time, for any purpose

D．make the travel safe for both Englishmen and foreigners

2．What can we infer from the passage but not stated?

[　　]

A．The 13th floor in a building is considered more terrible than the 13th to be seated in a dining room.

B．Almost all the peoples in the world have their own superstitions.

C．The purpose of the passport issued by the Egyptian pharaohs was to afford people safe

D．The usage of passports in England is more popular than in Egypt.

3．What does the underlined word probably mean?

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)t the same time.
B．quickly.
C．slowly.
D．one after another.

4．If you are a Christian, which day would you choose as your wedding day?

[　　]

A．13th October, Friday.
B．13th July, Monday.
C．14th March, Friday.
D．Any day is OK.

     The   rise of the so-called "boomerang generation "  is laid  bare  in official figures showing  that
almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.
     By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years
ago, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows. It also found that grown-up sons are
twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of
men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a "generation of
mummy's boys".
     Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have
forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally
be moving out. Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the "boomerang
generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home having firstly left to study. Recent
research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to chose to live with their parents
in their late 20s than their counterparts(對(duì)手們) elsewhere in Europe. But commentators warned that the
phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing "dire" prospects(景象) than simply a desire
to save money. While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family
home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been
reversed(顛倒).
      Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more
than 760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest. In 1988 22. 7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29
were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24. 5 per cent, according to the ONS.
1. Which of the following is TRUE? 
A. One in five approaching 30 now live with their parents.
B. Grown-up sons who are still be living with their parents are twice as likely as their sisters.
C. Young people who live with parents now in Britain are less than elsewhere in Europe.
D. More and more elder people trend to live independently.
2. The reason why young generation trends to live with their parents is   ____  .   
A. that they want to save money
B. that they want to take care of their old parents
C. that their parents are badly sick
D. that they face miserable phenomenon
3. According to the passage, people aged from 22 to 29 should _____.     
A. live independently
B. now live with their parents
C. leave for college
D. go to work
4. According to the passage, we can infer that ____ .  
A. parents in elsewhere in Europe dislike to live with their children
B. these prospects have nothing to do with the financial crisis
C. more and more young people will live with their parents in the future in Britain
D. the government should be responsible for this
5. What's the best title of the passage?   
A. Generation of Mummy's Boys
B. Boomerang Generation
C. Living with Their Parents
D. Going back
