Passage 1

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pain: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished what he has done wrong.

When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

6. People can experience happiness if they_____.

A. always think of past and regret it     C. are no longer young

Passage 2

The word "hello" is probably used more often than any other one in the English language. Everybody in the United States and elsewhere uses the word again and again, every day of the week.

  The American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, is believed to be the first person to use "hello" in the late 1800's, soon after the invention of the telephone.

  At first, people had greeted each other on the telephone with, "Are you there?" They were not sure the new instrument could really carry voices.

  Thomas Edison, however, was a man of few words. He wasted no time. The first time he picked up the phone he did not ask if anyone was there. He was sure someone was, and simply said, "Hello."

Of course, there are other ways Americans greet one another. Not long ago, people often said, "How are you?" when they first met someone. This later became "hiyah." Then, someone thought that two syllables were too much and  "hiyah" became "hi". Laziness is a strong force in changing language.

Answering a telephone in America still presents problems, however. Telephone companies think that Thomas Edison's short "hello" is too long. "Why waste time?" the telephone company says. "Simply pick up the phone, give your name, and start talking."

11. Which of the following statements is true?

    A. The word "hello" came into use even before the telephone was invented.

    B. People use "hello" not only in English-speaking countries.

    C. Thomas Edison was famous for his invention of "hello".

D. The word "hello" has been used for nearly 200 years.

答案：

解析：从第二段计算推测出来。

12. Why did people greet each other on the phone with "Are you there"?

    A. Because they could not hear each other.

    B. Because they could not see each other.

    C. Because they didn't believe they could hear each other.

D. Because they weren't certain they could hear each other.

答案：

解析：第三段表明此意。

13. The simplest way of greeting is to say “______”

    A. hey.                      B. hi  

C. hello                     D. hiyah

答案：

解析：第5段倒数第二句表明此意。

14. Which of the following statements is Not True about Thomas Edison?

    A. He used "Hello" instead of “Are you there?”.

    B. He wanted himself to be the first man to say “Hello”.

    C. He did not like to talk much:

D. He did not want to waste any time.

答案：

解析：文章没提到，其它均提到。

15. What is the best way to answer a telephone according to the telephone company?

    A. Saying "How Are You?"

    B. Saying "Hi! "

    C. No greeting at all.

D. Talking about the business directly.

答案：

解析：最后一段最后一句表明此意。

Passage 3

As you are students of English, It's very possible that you'll be interested in England. That's where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names--England, Britain or Great Britain. Let's see what each of these names means.

   If you look at a map of Europe, you'll see a group of islands-one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles(不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland(爱尔兰).

Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word "England" in used instead of "Britain". Why so?

In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.

There's another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.” That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of "England", "Britain", "Great Britain", and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”  Now do you know what each of them means?

16. English was first spoken in ______.

A. Britain       B. England     C. Great Britain    D. Ireland

答案：

解析：第二段第二句表明此意。

17. Britain is divided into ______.

    A. Wales is the richest of the three.

    B. Scotland is the largest of the three.

    C. Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.
