| The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song. By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry. Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30 pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late. But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30 pm, it is unaccepted for guests to appear on time. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party at 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time. The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element of surprise. |
| 1. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean ______. |
| A. tired B. crazy C. happy D. encouraging |
| 2. Jane and David's story is used to show that ______. |
| A. party invitations can be confusing B. party-goers usually get hungry at parties C. people should ask for food at parties D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull |
| 3. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered ______. |
| A. very difficult B. particularly thoughtful C. friendly and polite D. socially unacceptable |
| 4. What is the general idea of the text? |
| A. It's safe to arrive late just when food is served. B. It's wise to eat something before going to a party. C. It's important to follow social rules of party-going. D. There's no need to read invitations carefully. |

| Michael Phelps and his U.S. teammates crowned the greatest single Olympic performance Sunday morning with a win in the 4×100-meter medley relay. The victory gave Phelps his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, the most golds ever won by an athlete at one Games. With gold No. 8, Phelps earned a singular place in the Olympic record books. "There is no comparison in the swimming world for what Michael has done," said Gregg Troy, coach of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, who finished third to Phelps in two races here in Beijing but also won gold alongside him in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay. It's hard to find comparisons even in the sports world overall. Phelps is solidly in the company of seemingly invincible (不可战胜的) superstars such as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. "I think years and years down the road we'll realize more and more how amazing he is and how special he really is." U.S. teammate Natalie Coughlin said. The 23-year-old from Baltimore capped a brilliant meet at the Water Cube. He set a world record in every event except the 100 butterfly which he narrowly won on Saturday, completing a program of 17 races in nine days. Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals and 16 total medals. He holds the record for most medals won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972-1980, Soviet female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with l8. At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he'll swim in the 2012 London Games. Phelps' victories in Beijing include: 200-meter freestyle, 200 and 400 individual medleys, 100 and 200 butterfly, 4×200 free relay, 4×100 medley relay, and 4×100 free relay. |
| 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? |
| A. Phelps wins 4×100-meter medley relay B. Phelps writes Games gold history C. Phelps plans to attend 2012 London Games D. Phelps finishes his competitions |
| 2. Why are Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods mentioned in the 3rd paragraph? |
| A. To emphasize Phelps' unique (独一无二) position in swimming. B. To indicate Phelps' great efforts to his championship. C. To attract the world's attention to the young Phelps. D. To memorize the two heroes' contributions to the world. |
| 3. The world records Phelps has set do not include _______. |
| A. 200-meter freestyle B. 200 individual medleys C. 200-meter butterfly D. 100-meter butterfly |
| 4. It can be inferred from the text that _______. |
| A. Phelps is a swimming genius by nature B. Phelps succeeded in Athens at the age of 18 C. Phelps has won the most golds all by himself D. Phelps will have a bright future in the 2012 London |

| In today's society, a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn. For example, the IT world is constantly changing. Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn to learn. Blogging (写博客) works exactly the same way. And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal. If you're trying to make money , this is very clear. There's always more money to be made. If you're teaching on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share. Even if you're just sharing your words with others for pleasure, you're continuously improving your writing and storytelling so people don't get bored of you. This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out. They forget this. They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain. They get comfortable. Then they start to run out of juice. Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it. They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever. But this is not true. Pay attention. Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning. The point is easy to see. Don't think you've succeeded. There is no summit. What happens when someone thinks they've hit the summit? They quickly begin falling down the other side. Always be learning from your experiences. See what posts work for your readers. Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don't settle or your blog will close for ever eventually. |
| 1. Judging from the article, if you have got a college degree, say, in engineering, it means ______. |
| A. you're good at engineering B. you've finished learning engineering C. you've chosen to learn engineering D. you can find work relating to engineering |
| 2. The writer thinks Blogging works in a way that it requires the writers to ______. |
| A. be constant learners B. have academic degrees C. keep on writing D. know everything before starting |
| 3. The writer uses the word "it" in the underlined sentence"Sure, at times … have it" to refer to ______. |
| A. the failure in keeping on writing B. the knowledge needed for blogging forever C. the ability of constant learning D. the comfort enjoyed from blogging |
| 4. The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to ______. |
| A. learn from their experiences B. learn from others C. update their knowledge D. reach blogging summit |

| The first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually nothing more than a list of about 3, 000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition. The author, Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he reasoned, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word. During the 1600's more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey's lead and presented a few thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard words. But until the 1750's all the dictionaries were rather crude and not very valuable. A man named Dr Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings. He also gave good sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and in writing. By the end of the 1700's most dictionary makers had followed Johnson's example. Dictionaries were getting better and better. The 1800's saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a twenty-volume (卷；册；部) work. One of the most interesting features of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories. It traces (追溯；探索) the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary. |
