| In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are talking or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. |
| 1. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors? |
| A. Yellow, green. B. Blue, violet. C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white. |
| 2. Which of the following statements is not true? |
| A. Sociable people like warm colors. B. Warm colors can make people excited. C. People who like to be with others don't like red. D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active. |
| 3. Which is the right color for different rooms? |
| A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining-rooms. C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies. |
| 4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? |
| A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool. B. Warm colors remind people of warm days. C. Cool colors remind people of cool days. D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors. |

| We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called "salmon". This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don't. Maybe living things just like travel. |
| 1. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _____. |
| A. find food more easily B. enjoy warmer weather C. give birth D. find beautiful places |
| 2. The mice in northern Europe move when _____. |
| A. they need fresh water B. the weather is bad C. the place gets too crowded D. they haven't enough food |
| 3. This passage is mainly about _____. |
| A. why animals move from one place to another B. how animals can find food easily C. new discoveries of animals traveling D. some problems with traveling |

| Millions of girls grow up with the hope of becoming a famous singer. Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true. Andrews' first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought. Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同) with Dream Works' Nashville label. Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood. With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明) gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs." |
| 1. What's the meaning of the underlined word "launched" in the fourth paragraph? |
| A. Started. B. Sent. C. Aimed. D. Set. |

| 3. Which of the following may NOT be Andrews' album? |
| A. Now. B. Heart Shaped World. C. The Prince of Egypt. D. Who I Am. |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? |

| We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. Our car looked like a flower shop inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and then my wife noticed the cupboard. It was tall and narrow, and it stood outside a furniture shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roofrack (行李架). I've always wanted one like that." What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer, and the cupboard was tied on to the roofrack. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, "There is a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder?" In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me. I was puzzled. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You've been very kind. I have just down the road." He was staring at our load: first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well," he said, laughing, "It's a cupboard you've got here! We thought it was…er, something else." My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again." I drove home as fast as I could. |

| Who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives? It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem. First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual (个人) . This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor. In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions (养老金). One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent. To sum up, all these measures have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these measures may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations. | |||||||||
