         Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in
    their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it
    worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very
    hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and
    women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting,
    papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no
    professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have
    been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount
    of skill to use. In every high street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one
    "Do-it-Yourself" shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor
    coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories.
    "Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing
    to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage
    of building firms willing to do small jobs.
    1. Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?  
    A. Because they could not do it themselves.  
    B. Because professional workers were very cheap.  
    C. Because they had no time.  
    D. Because professional workers could do much better.
    2. Thirty years later what changes took place?  
    A. People could do everything themselves.  
    B. Few people chose to be a professional worker.  
    C. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.  
    D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.
    3. What caused the DIY craze?  
    A. Young people liked to follow the fashion.  
    B. "Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business.  
    C. There were fewer building companies.  
    D. High cost of professional workers.
    4. What is the speaker telling us?  
    A. How DIY comes into being.  
    B. Changes in building.  
    C. Changes in housing.  
    D. Great changes in these thirty years.

                                                                      What Is a Boy?
          Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called
    a "boy". Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every
    second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males send them
    off to bed at night.
         Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or
    jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects
    them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its
    hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
         When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression,
    his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature destroying the world and himself with it.
         A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic
    bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a
    bull, the violence of a firecracker (鞭炮), but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on
    each hand
    .
         He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large
    animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company,
    schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime. Nobody
    else is so early to rise, or so late to supper.
         Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty
    knife, a half eaten apple, a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things.
         A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed
    pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi, Dad!"
    1. The whole passage is in a tone (语气) of ______.
    A. humor and love
    B. anger and disappointment
    C. hope and expectation
    D. confidence and imagination
    2. What's the meaning of the underlined sentence?
    A. He has altogether five fingers.
    B. He is slow, foolish and clumsy.
    C. He becomes clever and smart.
    D. He cuts his hand with a knife.
    3. According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except ______.
    A. ice cream
    B. comic books
    C. Saturday mornings
    D. Sunday schools
    4. What does the writer feel about boys?
    A. He feels curious about their noise.
    B. He is tired of these creatures.
    C. He is amazed by their naughtiness.
    D. He feels unsafe staying with them.

         On May 12, 2008, an earthquake of 8 magnitude struck Sichuan. Everyone in China was shocked, and
    quickly became heartbroken as reported deaths climbed from 10,000 to 32,000 to more than 62,000 people.
    The death toll is still rising, and the number of injured and missing is many times more.
         The Chinese people faced this disaster with compassion (同情) and courage. I was touched by the teacher
    who died forming a bridge with his body between two desks, protecting four surviving students under him,
    by the trapped child who told the rescue workers to save others first, and by the dying mother who texted her
    baby, "My Treasure: If you survive, always remember I love you." She died using her own body to protect
    her 3-month-old from harm. But don't worry about this baby growing up without a family. Thousands of
    families in China have already volunteered to adopt earthquake orphans. And the Chinese people faced this
     disaster with resourcefulness (智慧) and tenacity (坚韧). A brave CEO took his weekend SUV, drove
    hundreds of miles, started digging, and saved several lives. A child used his hands to dig out two fellow
    students. His hands were severely injured, but his friends survived. Cab drivers turned their cars into
    ambulances and delivery trucks. More than 100,000 brave soldiers risked (and some gave) their lives to find
    every survivor.
         These are the heroes among us, whether they use an SUV, a shovel or a phone. Their heroic deeds and
    selflessness inspired me so deeply that I can recall only one other such occasion. It was 9/11-I vividly
    remember the police officers, the firefighters, and of course the passengers and crew on United Flight 93.
         As a Chinese American, I hope that the Chinese and the Americans will see that they have so much in
    common-their compassion, courage, and generosity. I hope that people will see that these heroic commonalities
    are much stronger than any differences. And I hope that these heroes from 9/11 and 5/12 will inspire all of us
    to turn our anxiety into courage, our misery into tenacity, and our sorrow into love.

    1. The second and the third paragraphs mainly tell us about ______.
    A. how severe the earthquake was
    B. how much victims were in need of help
    C. some heroic deeds of the Chinese in the earthquake
    D. lucky survivors in the earthquake
    2. The author compares the 5/12 earthquake to 9/11 attacks because ______. 
    A. they were both natural disasters
    B. both Americans and Chinese were brave and full of compassion in emergencies
    C. he is a Chinese American D. both killed a large number of people
    3. The main purpose of the essay is to _______.
    A. encourage a better understanding of the two peoples
    B. suggest how important courage is in time of crisis
    C. provide some useful advice for rescue work
    D. present the important similarities as well as the differences between the two people

         Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past.There is another large reservoir
    (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college students will find that every craftsman (工匠)
    has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down
    upon them.The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical
    (理论的) part-the explanations of why things happen-is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的). But the
    demonstration (示范) and report of what happens,and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in
    completely unscientific terms.Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and
    what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the
    fisherman, so can he.   
         Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son,
    or mother to daughter, of old country customs,of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college
    student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants
    from wild grass.The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science
    has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this
    area long age.
    1. In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.
    A. personal experience 
    B. wild weeds among good plants
    C. the information from the parents 
    D. the vast store of traditional practices
    2. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
    A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass
    B. Craftsman's experience is usually unscientific
    C. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen
    D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college students
    3. The author advises the college students to ______.
    A. be contemptuous to the craftsman
    B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms
    C. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefully
    D. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection
    4. The main idea of this passage is about ______.
    A. what to learn from the parents
    B. how to gain knowledge
    C. why to learn from craftsman
    D. how to deal with experience

    Dear friends,
         Here is my points. We students of today have to
    fix our attention on our lessons, and for a result, we
    know few of society. A holiday is the best time and the
    best chance to make up for that. Take a part-time job
    is a good form of social practice. That we have learned in 
    books and in class can't have same important effect 
    in us as what we have learned through personal practice.
    In social practice, we can surely make a progress in both
    knowledge and practical ability. Beside, taking a part-time 
    job, we may got paid more or less to help our family.
    Thus, I will say a senior school student should
    take a part-time job in holidays, if possible, of course.
