| As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest. My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany. I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying. After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service. Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying,in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to. 1．Which country does the author live in now? A．India. B．Canada. C．Belgium.

| The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8year, 12album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasn't just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire band's music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartney's biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: "They were the first rock band… and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were groundbreaking in every way," he says. 1．Why did the Beatles change popular culture? A．Because of the suits of the four Liverpool boys. B．Because of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore. C．Because of their albums. D．Because of their different attitude to life. 2．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the second paragraph? A．The Beatles influenced people at its height in the 1960s. B．Their music Yesterday had never been remastered. C．The entire band's music in a digital makeover will be remastered. D．On September 9, their music came to an end. 3．What is their last album? A．Yesterday. B．Abbey Road of 1969. C．Come Together. D．In My life. 4．What is NOT the reason why their music can endure? A．They were the first rock band. B．They were the best one. C．They were the first band to play stadiums and to have their own works. D．They wore special suits. 5．What's the main idea of the passage? A．What is the Beatles? B．Legendary band stays on top in digital times. C．The origin of the Beatles. D．Why is the Beatles popular with people? |

| I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids' too. But_at_least_I_wasn't_alone_in_my_sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks. As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout. My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You're right, our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world. 1．What does the sentence "But at least I wasn't alone in my sufferings." mean? A．The author's mother was only mean to her. B．The author's mother suffered her. C．The author's mother was mean to her sister, brothers and her. D．The author wasn't alone because of suffering. 2．According to the passage, the author's mother will ask her children to do all the following EXCEPT ________. A．learn to cook B．wear clean clothes C．go to bed and get up at fixed time D．drink as much Cokes as they want 3．Why was the author's mother mean to her children? A．Because she wanted her children to be top students in school. B．Because she wanted her children to bring home colored report cards like her friends did. C．Because she wanted her children to drop out. D．Because she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens. 4．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．Some of the children weren't able to go to college because of their mean mother. B．Mother didn't let the author tell lies. C．Mother asked the author to wear clean clothes. D．The author could not miss school even if she was ill. 5．What's the main idea of the passage? A．The kind mother. B．The meanest mother C．The failure mother D．The successful mother |

| You love Jay Chou's songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest imagination-a career in music? Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday. Bieber sings ballads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. "If we truly want the best for American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber," he writes. "After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16yearold has thrown a candycoated wrench (扭转) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs." From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused nearriots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era. Interested in hockey (冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star. 1．What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber's singing? A．He didn't like it. B．He liked it very much. C．He didn't say anything. D．He supported Justin Bieber. 2．Who is a columnist? A．Chris Brown. B．Jay Chou. C．David Malitz. D．Miley Cyrus. 3．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A．He had a happy family. B．His family was very poor once. C．His family was rich. D．His family helped him a lot. 4．What's Justin Bieber's hobby? A．Singing. B．Hockey. C．Signing. D．Making records. 5.What's the best title of the passage? A．Justin Bieber's overnight singing online. B．Justin Bieber's common experience. C．Justin Bieber's life. D．Justin Bieber's records. |
