7．I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe，Pennsylvania，was filled with never-changing routines．I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else．Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives．I also didn't like the fact that people seemed very close-minded．I felt trapped．I felt like I was missing out on opportunities．It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite．
Then I took my first trip to New York City．I couldn't wait to experience the city．However，when I arrived in the Big Apple，it wasn't at all what I had imagined．I knew it was home to thousands of people，but I hadn't had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time．All the streets were filled with people．I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace．When I took the subway for the first time，I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me．She looked at me with dislike and didn't say a word．
After just one day，I realized how important my small town is to me．Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day．I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers．Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn't provide．I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger-it really can make your day a little better．
My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled（注入） morals and values in me that I didn't even know I had．I would never have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City．
21．How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first？C
A．People there cared little about others．
B．People there liked to accept new things．
C．Living there was a great disadvantage．
D．There were many chances of career development．
22．What surprised the author most in New York City？D
A．The gestures of greeting．
B．The modern transportation．
C．The fast pace of life．
D．The crowded streets．
23．What made the author change his/her attitudes to his/her hometown？A
A．Travelling to New York City．
B．The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe．
C．A big place in his/her town．
D．Everybody likes talking about others．

Just three hours after leaving the house，the cat jumps up onto a scratch tower and starts pawing at the door．

11．One of the special features of English people is self-discipline （自律）．Generally，English people are polite and always want to please others．On the other hand，they don't like to show their emotions，even in dangerous situations．Imagine the scene!Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest．Anybody else would be anxious to run away．The English would just try to hide their emotions．Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces．
We often hear of the English"reserve"（矜持）．On a long railway journey，with four Englishmen sitting together，often there won't be a single word spoken during the whole journey．The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions．That wouldn't be the case in America．In a short ride in New York，a taxi driver will tell you about himself，his wife and his family，and probably the towns of England he has visited，too．
The English value privacy （隱私） very much．An Englishman's house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors'．An Englishman's house is his castle．
Finally，we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish （蘇格蘭的） people-the Scottish dress．Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume-the kilt．This short，skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men．
The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan，which is very special in Scotland．
24When the English are in a dangerous situation they usuallyC．
A．laugh at other people        
B．behave very bravely
C．hide their emotions          
D．run away immediately
25．In the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in New York toD．
A．explain that Americans are reserve
B．show the bad manners of Americans
C．show that English people are not very polite
D．show the reserve of the English
26．What do we know about the kilt in the last paragraphC
A．It's long and just like a skirt．
B．It's worn by both men and women．
C．It's made of a special type of cloth in Scotland．
D．It's a traditional costume all over Great Britain．
27．What can we learn about the English from the passageB
A．They are not very confident．
B．A house with a fence all around makes them feel safe．
C．They usually don't respect others'privacy．

7．Have you ever heard the saying"All roads lead to Rome"？At one time，this was pretty much true．During the Roman Empire，lots of roads were built in order to move armies，send messages by courier （信使），and make trade easier．
The network of Roman roads was begun in 312BC．It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down．Roman soldiers，supervised （監(jiān)督） by engineers，laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers．There were all together 4layers，which was made of different materials，such as sand，rocks，stones and so on．
Also，Roman roads were cambered（拱形）．This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges，allowing rainwater to run off，which prevented flooding．We use the same technique in building roads today．The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary，setting them down in a zigzag （之字形的）pattern to make the road rise gradually．
All Roman roads had milestones （里程碑），placed every thousand paces （a Roman mile）．The milestones told when the road was built，who was emperor at the time，the road's destination，how far the traveler was from the destination，and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road．This information was a great help to travelers．
Because of their excellence in construction，it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today．These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire．
21．The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPTB．
A．Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers
B．Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don't use today
C．Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mile
D．Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire
22．What information can you find on the milestones？C
A．The builders of the road．
B．The materials used in building roads．
C．The distance from one city．
D．The time spent in building roads．
23．The passage mainlyD．
A．explains the saying"All roads lead to Rome"
B．praises ancient Romans for their great achievements
C．shows how great the Roman Empire was
D．introduces the construction of the Roman roads．

4．If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station，you don't need to feel surprised．They are a flash mob （快閃族），which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place，do something unusual for a brief period of time，and then quickly break up．They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network．At a predetermined time，they gather and perform some  distractions（消遣） such as waving their hands and exchanging books，Then，they quickly break up before the police can arrive．Using mobile phones，the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason．
        Bill Lasik，senior editor of Harper's Magazine，organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3，2003-after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store．Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters （起時髦的人），and call attention to the cultural atmosphere．       
      Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people．Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue，but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place．Undoubtedly，flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction．They also have great economic potential，such as using flash mobs to advertise a product．
      The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular．People use it to do many things．For example，in 2009，Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him．Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together．Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory．
24．The undefined word"foiled"in Paragraph 2 can be replaced byB．
A．forgotten          B．prevented       C．a(chǎn)nnounced            D．confirmed
