         Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science
    fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s
    Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story
    called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A
    Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865).
         In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about
    scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne's writing included many
    predictions (预言) for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies,
    and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made
    Verne rich. Jules Verne's books have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was
    a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon
    drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne's books. The
    main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always
    on time!
    1. What does the phrase"the father of science fiction" mean?
    A. The father who has several children.
    B. The man who loves science and inventions.
    C. The writer whose father wrote science fiction.
    D. The man who first started writing science fiction successfully.
    2. What encouraged Jules Veme to write more stories? 
    A. The plays he wrote for the theater.
    B. The encouragement from his father.
    C. The success of Five Weeks in a Balloon.
    D. The scientific subjects in his stories.
    3. Why were Jule8 Verne's books very popular in the 19th century?
    A. Because his books made him rich and famous.
    B. Because he wrote many plays for the theater at that time.
    C. Because his books have been the subjects for many movies.
    D. Because many people were interested in science and inventions.
    4. Which of the following has the main character called Phileas Fogg?
    A. Five Weeks in a Balloon.
    B. Around the World in Eighty Days.
    C. A Journey to the Center of the Earth.
    D. From the Earth to the Moon.
    5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A. Jules Verne only wrote plays in the 19th century.

         The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find
    almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake
    and singing the Happy Birthday song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
    In China, on a child's second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child.
    According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child
    will choose later in life. For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important.
    At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to
    the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents
    usually organize a party for their friends in their home. In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American
    countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys. Eighteen is the traditional "coming of age",
    the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (选举), join the army and (in Britain) drink
    alcohol or buy a house. In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on
    top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key mean8 that the young person is now old
    enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!
    1. Which of the following birthday traditions can be found almost anywhere, anytime?
    A. Putting many things on the floor.
    B. Wearing a new kimono.

  •      Most American students have said goodbye to fancy (高档的) fruits these days. In school canteens
    across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
        "People are afraid to spend now," said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store."They don't
    know what the future will bring." During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country's biggest
    banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
         Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and
    more people are sharing meals.
         In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans
    talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends
    meet (维持生计).
         The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot
    of people and companies,who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the
    banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed
    money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.
         This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no
    one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time. Last
    week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money
    trouble.
    1. Why are people in the US afraid to spend?
    A. Because they think it's unnecessary.
    B. Because they don't have the habit of spending money.
    C. Because they worry about their future.
    D. Because they don't have enough money.
    2. The underlined word "concerns" probably means _______.
    A. worries
    B. conditions
    C. hobbies
    D. experiences
    3. The fifth paragraph mainly _______.
    A. tells what it is like in a crisis
    B. explains why there is a crisis
    C. warns people of the danger of the crisis
    D. asks people not to borrow money from banks
    4. People feel _______ about the US plan to save the market.
    A. satisfied
    B. doubtful
    C. hopeless
    D. angry
    5. The best title for the story is _______.
    A. Ways to Make Ends Meet
    B. The Money Problem Facing the World
    C. Healthy Fancy Fruits
    D. The Art of Borrowing
