Reading Comprehension (阅读理解):(共50分) A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案):(12分) People usually imagine they are much more likely to win the lottery(彩票) than they really are. The American lottery is promoted(促销) with the phrase ( 短语) "It could be you", which, of course, is technically true. To tell the whole truth it should be read: "It could be you, but it almost certainly won't be." Recently thousands of people began pouring into(涌入) Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history. More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing (抽奖) . Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn't affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second. Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they'll probably never have. But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling. Some critics(评论家) note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts (入迷的人) who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them get rid of the habit. Politicians (政治家) like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes(税收).The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for the old people. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶 习) under the name of social progress. Whether you regard stock lotteries fight or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans. 69. There is ______ chance to win the lottery for most of the people. A) never a B) little C) a big D) a good 70. People who bought lottery tickets had to choose ______ numbers from one to eighty. A) phone B) postal C) seven D) lucky 71. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling ______. A) $1.62 million B) $1.82 million C) $ 9.6 million D) $ 87 million 72. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should ______. A) join a support group B) get rid of the habit C) win the lottery D) save every cent 73. The main idea of the passage is that ______. A) lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys ~them B) playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market C) many people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement D) lotteries are nothing but legalized vice 74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A) Politicians don't like lotteries because they like to pay extra taxes. B) The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress. C) Some critics don't like lotteries because many poor people waste money on them. D) People love the lottery because it is a stock market. B.

The transporter moves forward or backward when the person moves his or her body in that 77 . The driver turns the handles to go left or fight. Computers and certain devices on the Segway make the vehicle move and balance. It is powered by batteries that are recharged (充电) with electric power. It can travel at a speed of 19 kilometers an hour. Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway says it was meant to reduce pollution and solve other environmental problems in cities. A Segway costs about five thousand dollars. People who have bought Segways say they are 78 useful though quite costly(昂贵的). But they can use the Segways instead of their cars for short trips, and it is a great way to save money on gasoline (汽油) . The Segway also makes it 79 for people who have trouble walking because of medical problems to move around. Segways are being used in more than twelve American airports. Security officers say they are able to move quickly on the devices in emergency situations. People on vacation are also learning to use Segways.

It has d 81 into a modern art form since then. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into various things t 82 folding techniques. In general, origami begins with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. Many people enjoy making origami flowers, animals, or toys. For all of these things, there are a few kinds of folds that you need to use. For example, sometimes you need to fold the paper in h 83 . Another common way is to fold the paper from corner to comer, or you may need to fold the tips of each corner. If you follow the directions carefully, you can create a beautiful paper flower, animal, or toy. But origami is much more than folding paper. It is a reflection (反映) of nature and Japanese life. That is why the most popular origami shapes are things like animals. Birds, fish, flowers, and stars are all popular shapes. The best known origami m 84 is probably the Japanese paper crane (纸鹤). The crane is auspicious (吉祥) in the Japanese culture. Legend (传说) says that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will have their heart's desire come true. The origami crane has become a symbol of peace because of this legend. Origami is also good for your mind. It is a peaceful activity that can relax the mind and body. People who do origami like the activity as much as the art. They like it because origami demands a lot of attention. When people think hard about c 85 something, they forget about their problems. This allows them to calm down. Origami is also good for teaching children. Origami has many steps. Children must follow these steps c 86 . They may learn something about maths. For example, origami has squares, rectangles(矩形), and triangles(三角形). These shapes are important in maths. Origami helps children get f 87 with these shapes. Maybe you can try to do origami yourself. You only need some paper and a book of instructions. You can also find instructions for folding origami shapes on the Internet. D(Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)(12分) There are spicy food lovers all around the world. A lot of people desire to have spicy foods in their daily life. In China, we love hot peppers (辣椒) , fiery-hot chicken wings and we put spicy seasonings (调味品) on top of just about everything. Thankfully, spicy foods are generally good for us. They do more than add flavor(调味) to your favourite meals. Spicy foods are good for your heart. People who regularly eat foods rich in spice are less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke (中风). Chili peppers (红辣椒) provides three times more vitamin C than oranges. The unique chili pepper heat comes from a component called capsaicin (辣椒素) which helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduces inflammation (炎症) . Spicy foods also help prevent cancer. Capsaicin has been found to kill some cancer cells, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Turmeric (姜黄), which is the main spice in curry, has been shown to help slow down the spread of certain cancer cells. Spicy foods can even help you lose weight. After eating something spicy, you burn more calories than if you were to have eaten something bland (清淡). Also, studies show that spicy foods leave you feeling more satisfied than their non-spicy eaters. This means you're more likely to stick to your diet and not Overeat. Try adding some hot sauce to your next meal and see if you notice a difference. Spicy foods also have other benefits. They can lighten your mood, making you feel happier. In addition, they can fight symptoms of the common cold by helping you work up a sweat. In fact, "spicy" is a burning feeling that you have on the surface of your tongue. That some people can stand spicy food is because their tongues have become less sensitive to it. If you can not handle the fiery heat, try to build up a tolerance (耐受力) gradually. Drinking milk or other milk drinks such as yogurt can "coat your tongue" and help you cool down after a spicy meal. If you happen to be a spicy food lover, congratulations! Don't hesitate to include spicy foods in your balanced diet! 88. Do many people in the world like eating spicy foods? ____________________________________________________________________________ 89.

He hoped to invent a calculator. But the technology of his time was too simple. Babbage could not make his dream come true. All his life, Babbage was interested in n 81 . For example, he would find out how f 82 a pig's heart beats or make a table to calculate how much wood a man could saw (锯) in 10 hours. Babbage was also an inventor. Around 1830, he decided to d 83 and build a machine for doing simple mathematical calculations. He called this machine the Difference Engine. Making the Machine The Difference Engine was very big and difficult to make. It was made of two tons of steel and gears(齿轮). While he was building this h 84 machine, he had an idea for a new machine. This one would do all kinds of calculations. He called it the Analytical Engine. It was the start of the modern computer. But Babbage used up all his money b 85 he could complete either machine. Re-inventing the Engine In 1854, two Swedish inventors built a working mechanical calculator. It was b 86 on the Difference Engine. Their machine was able to print out different kinds of forms and tables. It was very accurate. Babbage was the first person to come up with the idea of computers. And he is more famous today than he w 87 in his day. D(Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)(12分) The Spirit of Christmas Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this. A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean. He only thinks about himself and never treats others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost (鬼) of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he is punished (惩罚) after he dies. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him. That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so frightened that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning -- Christmas Day! He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas! 88. Who wrote the famous short novel A Christmas Carol? ___________________________________________________________________ 89.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain's most famous historical places but also one of its greatest wonders. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year. For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stocker thinks this can't be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. "The leaders arrived in England much later," he points out. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer's morning, the sun shines directly into the centre of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. "As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body," said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the place of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some even think it was built to celebrate a success over an enemy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn't. "We don't really know who built Stonehenge," says Paul Stocker. "And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working -- and great planners!" (15. T 16. F 17. T 18. F 19. F 20. T) D. By the West Lake, in the city of Hangzhou, there is a small statue of a traveler. His name was Marco Polo. Marco Polo grew up in the city of Venice, in present-day Italy. In 1271, when he was 17 years old, he set off on a journey to Asia with his father and uncle, and did not return home until 24 years later. His travels took him across Asia, along the Silk Road and throughout China. He loved Hangzhou so much that he described it as "the finest city in the world". When Polo finally returned to Venice, there was a war and he was caught. While he was behind bars, he told the stories of his" travels to another man there. The man wrote the stories in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo. Because of the interesting descriptions of Asian life in the book, Polo's travels soon became well known in Europe. The stories gave many Europeans their first look at the life and culture of the people in Asia. Polo told of many amazing things that were unknown to Europe, such as paper money. He also wrote about China's development, with its large cities and systems of communication. His book made Europeans more and more interested in the East. It also influenced many other explorers, including Christopher Columbus. Pol0 died in 1324. His last words were: "I did not tell half of what I saw."
