Believe it or not, a rain check is not a weather report. A rain check is a small piece of paper. When can you get a rain check? Well, if you are going to a ball game or some other open-air activity and it is called off because of rain or some other reason, you may receive a rain check. With it you may go there again without paying.
You may also receive a rain check at a shop. As you know, sometimes when you go to a shop to buy something which is on sale, it is sold out. You may ask the assistant to give you a rain check and with it you can go again next time to buy what you need at the sale price.
Here’s another way to use this word. If someone invites you to go somewhere, you would like to go very much but cannot, you may say “May I have a rain check?” This means, “I will come next time.” But you can never say “May I take a rain check?” when your teacher gives you some homework.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷一下句子的正（T）誤（F）。
小題1:A rain check is a piece of paper with weather report on it.    (  )
小題2:When a ball game is called off because of rain, we can get a rain check.    (  )
小題3:We can buy something we need without paying with a rain check.    (  )
小題4:Sometimes a rain check means “I will come next time.”    (  )
小題5:Teachers will be glad to give their students a rain check when they ask them to do some homework.    (  )

小題1:F
小題2:T
小題3:F
小題4:T
小題5:F

試題分析：本文敘述了rain check是流行口語，當(dāng)在露天舉行的球類比賽或戶外活動時，如比賽或活動在進行時天不作美，突然之間下起了傾盆大雨，比賽不得不取消，這時觀眾可以領(lǐng)取“雨票”，或用原票存根作為“雨票”(rain check)，即球賽改期舉行時可憑之入場。rain check這句話后來有了引伸意思，日常生活中普遍應(yīng)用。 比方說有人請你去某個地方，假如你剛巧因事不能奉陪，你可用婉謝的口吻說：May I take a rain check？ 直譯是：可以給我一張雨票嗎？ 地道英語的引伸義是：這次抱歉不能赴約，下次有請必到。
小題1:根據(jù)a rain check is not a weather report.故判斷F.
小題2:根據(jù)it is called off because of rain or some other reason, you may receive a rain check. 故判斷T.
小題3:根據(jù)You may ask the assistant to give you a rain check and with it you can go again next time to buy what you need at the sale price. 故判斷F.
小題4:根據(jù)“May I have a rain check?” This means, “I will come next time.” 故判斷T.
小題5:根據(jù)But you can never say “May I take a rain check?” when your teacher gives you some homework. 故判斷F.
點評：判斷正誤主要考查考生對于短文大意必須有個正確的理解，會判斷所給句子是否與原文相符，其實這樣的題就像考生做的細節(jié)理解題，這樣的題是比較容易得分的。

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求。）
Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly with our eyes, sop it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such a kind of experience? In a bus you may loom at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you may look at yourself up and down, to see if there is         ..If nothing goes wrong, you will fell angry towards others' stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is ,he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at  the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is saying, to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the honest communication, quite the contrary.
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words can't express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in not more than 15 words for each question.?
① “Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. It is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change — how might we change — if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
② It can boost（促進）productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation (參與) and better grades.
③ Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were more likely to kiss one’s hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant one. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
④ It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
⑤ So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.
小題1: In the first paragraph, what does the author mean by saying “it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults”?
小題2:The research shows that if the school teachers greet their students each morning individually, the students______________________.
小題3: Three effects of smiling on health are: (1) ___________ (2) _____________ (3) _____________
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?

A school in Nanjing plans to order Korean-style school uniforms for students, but parents were against the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students.
Parents: “My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it’s her dream to wear a miniskirt to school every day,” a mom said. “My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniforms! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they concentrate on their studies?”
School: we had to stop the plan because many parents were strongly against it. Some parents thought it was just a way for the school to make money, and others thought the new uniforms would take students attention away from their studies.
Students: the students were very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They thought the sportswear uniforms made them look androgynous( 兼具兩性的). They said the Korean uniforms had many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence.
As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and has no relationship to the uniforms.
The Department of Education: We don’t have a unified standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sportswear or other uniforms are OK. Currently, most middle and elementary schools in Nanjing have sportswear uniforms.
Expert: Fashionable school uniforms can increase students’ interest in learning. Parents don’t need to worry too much about early romances. Today’s primary and middle school students have strong personalities and their appreciation of beauty is rapidly forming. A fashionable uniform can foster(培養(yǎng)) their sense of belonging to the school and reduce their resistance to the school’s management.
But we don’t have to follow Korean or Japanese styles. We should design our own Chinese style uniforms.
小題1:Why were some parents against their children wearing fashionable school uniforms？ (No more than 15 words)
小題2:Why did students dislike the sportswear uniforms?  (No more than 5 words)
小題3:What’s experts’ attitude towards fashionable school uniforms? (No more than 3 words)

All living things must fight to stay alive. They have to feed on something and at the same time avoid being eaten. Therefore they have to solve this big problem of staying alive in their own way.
The danger of being eaten in the sea is great. Those plants and animals that do survive usually reproduce very fast and in great numbers.
Certain sea animals have defensive devices(裝置) which help them to survive. The jelly fish have poisonous tentacles(觸角) which are used for attack and defence.
Another method of survival which sea plants and animals use is disguise(偽裝). They usually have the same color as their surroundings.

In the 19the century people from all over the country came here to find gold. Many people become very rich now. They bought all the ground near the bank of the river. They dug big holes in it, trying to find more gold.
Mike Judeson was one of those who came to find gold. He bought nearly the last piece of the ground. It was a long way from the river, so no one else wanted to buy it. But Mike paid all his money for it. He worked hard month after month, but didn’t find any gold.
Then one night, just before he was going to give it up, it began to rain. It rained for several days and nights. When the rain stopped at last, Mike came out of his small wooden house to see his piece of ground. It didn’t look the same. The holes were not there any more, and a lot of small plants grew everywhere.
“Perhaps there is no gold here.” Mike said. “But this ground is rich. I can grow flowers and sell them for money. The women in this town are rich now. They have beautiful houses and they will put flowers in their houses. If I can grow good flowers here, I can make money, too.” So he did. And soon his piece of ground was covered with beautiful flowers. Later he was able to buy more fields until he owned all the ground near the river.
“I was the only man who found true gold here.” he often said. “The others took their gold out of the ground and went away. But my gold is still here.”

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)要求完成文章后的題目。(請將答案寫在答題卡對應(yīng)題號的橫線上。)
Kids are drawn to smoking for a lot of reasons — to look cool, act older, lose weight, or feel independent, but you can keep your child from getting addicted to tobacco. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
Discuss other topics in a way that doesn’t make your child fear punishment or judgment.
Stress what your child does right rather than wrong. Self-confidence is your child’s best protection against peer (同齡人) pressure.
Encourage your child to take part in activities that rule out smoking, such as sports.
When it comes to the dangers of tobacco use, it’s important to keep talking to your child about it over the years. Even the youngest child can understand that smoking is bad for the body.
Ask your child what he or she finds attractive or not attractive about smoking. Be a patient listener.
Read, watch television, and go to the movies with your child. Compare media images with what happens in reality.
Discuss ways to respond to peer pressure to smoke. Your child may feel confident simply saying “no”. But also offer your child responses such as, “It will make my clothes and breath smell bad.”
Encourage your child to walk away from friends who don’t recognize or respect his or her reasons for not smoking.
Explain how smoking affects the daily life of kids who start doing it. How do they afford the cigarettes? How do they have money to pay for other things they want? How does it affect their friendship?

閱讀下面短文, 請根據(jù)短文后的要求進行答題。（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）
［1］ What does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
［2］ First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. Instead of waiting for teachers to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
［3］ Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but     __________. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
［4］ Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.
［5］ What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques above.
小題1:What is the main idea of the text？ (Please answer within 10 words.)
                                                                         
小題2:what does the underlined word “them” refer to ?
