         In white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes and two pigtails (辫子), Jingqiu gives off an air of great
    "pure beauty" in Zhang Yimou's new movie Under the Hawthom Tree.《山揸树之恋》
         The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at
    the end of the "cultural revolution" (1966-1976), the pair manage to fall in love although they come form
    different political environments.
         Before it was released, moviegoers speculated (推测) on just what this "pure beauty" could be.
    Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu-a
    character so innocent that she believes simply lying on the same bed with a man will make her pregnant.
         It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has "eyes
    that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born of an ordinary worker's family, the Shijiazhuang girl
    was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
         While some teenagers consider such "pure beauty" illusory (虚幻的), others believe that it speaks of
    something soulful.
         Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of
    Nanjing.
         "Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it
    doesn't mean an ignorant or naive (天真的) person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is
    always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time,"
    she said.
    1. What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree?
    A. A simple girl.
    B. A pure girl.
    C. A romantic girl.
    D. A silent girl
    2. What kind of girl looks pure according to the passage?
    A. A girl in red shirt, blue pants, black leather shoes and two pigtails.
    B. A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.
    C. A girl who was born into an ordinary worker's family.
    D. A girl wears accessories and make-up.
    3. What's the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?
    A. It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.
    B. Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.
    C. It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.
    D. Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn't pass with time.
    4. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?
    A. What makes a pure girl?
    B. A debate on the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree
    C. Opinions on the character Jingqiu
    D. It's hard to find the character Jingqiu
    5. When did the story in the movie happen?
    A. In the 1960s    
    B. In the 1980s
    C. In the 1970s
    D. In the 1990s

         Many of us already know about several American superstitions(迷信). Having a black cat cross your
    path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition, there are many other
    superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits -if you believe
    in such things -and impress your American friends when you mention them.
         Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily
    life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go
    away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between
    two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, "Eat well, you hound, may
    you be sick and I be sound." This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some
    eyebrows if you try it.
         In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americas will say, "All things
    come in threes." Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child.
    Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also
    possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
         Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides
    must wear or carry "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue". The old
    and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things
    will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to
    recite this phrase.
         As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers
    crossed, and stay lucky!
    1. The passage is most probably entitled _____.       
    A. American's Bad Luck
    B. Cross-culture and Superstitions
    C. American Superstitions
    D. Daily Life in Superstitions
    2. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph "It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it."
    means _____.       .
    A. when you try it, the dog will raise its eyebrows.
    B. you will make people surprised when you try this trick
    C. only if you raise your eyebrows can the trick work
    D. you will believe in the trick after you try it
    3. In American's view, the number three is a(n) _____ number.
    A. lucky
    B. unlucky
    C. special
    D. ordinary
    4. On the wedding, the bride often uses old and borrowed things so as to _____.         .
    A. save some money for the wedding
    B. bring good luck to the people who give them to the bride
    C. give the good luck to the bride herself
    D. pass the bad luck to others
    5. After reading the passage, we may feel it is written in a _____ tone.
    A. formal
    B. serious
    C. humorous

         Burns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be
    minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn
    involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the
    burn is, seek emergency medical help.
         First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and
    some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be
    treated at home.
         Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second
    layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe
    pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.
         Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even
    bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial,
    there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.
         Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home:
    1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.
    2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.
    3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.     
        Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:
    1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).
    2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.
    3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to
        remove it.
    4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams,
        ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.
    5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.
    1. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means "_____".
    A. They can be dangerous if you don't treat them seriously
    B. They range from slight burns to deadly ones
    C. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properly
    D. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly
    2. Burns are divided into different degrees according to ______.
    A. what kind of treatment they need
    B. what kind of tissue of the body is damaged
    C. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there is
    D. which layer of skin is burned
    3. From the passage we learn that _____.
    A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatment
    B. first-degree burns don't require medical treatment
    C. burns without pains can be treated at home
    D. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is
    4.  It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A. you shouldn't cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severe
    B. you shouldn't move the person unless you know how to do first aid
    C. you shouldn't run cool water over the burn if the skin is broken
    D. you shouldn't place any wet towels on the burned area
    5. where do you probably find the passage?
    A.a fashion magazine    
    B.a guide book
    C.a book on first aid      
    D.a section about culture in the newspaper

         More perhaps than any other European nation, the Swiss have got used to looking after foreign
    travelers.
         As early as the 18th century, wealthy French, Germans and Italians were treating the country as an
    amusement center while, in the 19th century, it became the major holiday playground for the British nobles.
    Today, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
        The Swiss are clear about the importance of tourism to their economy, which makes up about eight
    percent of the Gross Domestic Product, and helps industry greatly. Managers of hotels from all over the
    world go to Switzerland to learn how to do the job, and a high standard can be expected from the great
    majority of the country's hotels, most of which are small and pride themselves on personalized service.
    Public transport is the best in Europe. Both the Swiss Federal railways and the private railways are fully
    electric-powered, and the total network consists of about 5,000 kilometers of track.
        Under the Fly Baggage system passengers can check luggage in at 116 railway stations and have it
    automatically transferred to their flight. The national highway system is equally well planned, and the
    mountain roads offer views of some of the country's most breathtaking scenery. Also serving the mountains is an effective system of railways and cable ways, while more than 160 passenger cars cross the lakes and
    rivers. Hiking in the mountains is equally popular with Swiss nationals and foreign visitors. For those who
    want to view the country from a great height without having to climb the mountain themselves, it is always
    possible to take in the view from a balloon.
    1. Compared with other European countries, Switzerland _____.
    A. places more importance on entertainment
    B. thinks more about foreign travelers
    C. has more convenient public transport
    D. has more five-star hotels
    2. According to the passage, Switzerland is now visited by _____.
    A. wealthy French people
    B. rich Germans and Italians
    C. British nobles
    D. people from various countries
    3. According to the passage we learn that _____.
    A. most of the hotels in Switzerland are big
    B. all the hotels in Switzerland offer exactly the same service
    C. most of the hotels in Switzerland offer first class service
    D. the hotels in Switzerland are accustomed to learning from the rest of the world
    4. The Fly Rail Baggage system is a service to transport your luggage between the railway station and
        _____.
    A. the airport
    B. the hotel    
    C. the motorway station
    D. the cable ways
    5. The passage mainly tells us about _____.
    A. scenery in Switzerland

    C. tourism in Switzerland
    D. the transportation in Switzerland

         Counterfeit (假的) medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits,
    they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients
    (原料) of the real thing.
         People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases the counterfeits cause death. Twenty
    children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨粉). The medications contained
    ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug
    company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.
         The problem with counterfeit medicines is especially bad in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The
    W. H. O. estimates that up to thirty percent of the medicines on sale in many of those countries are
    counterfeit.              .
         The W. H. O. says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like
    the United States, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.
         But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
         Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make
    counterfeits easier to identify. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify
    chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug
    packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back proving that what they
    bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (条形码) on their products as a security device.                                                                   

    1. What advice can we get from Paragraph 4? (no more than 8words)
        ______________________________________________.                                                                
    2. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)
        _______________________________________________.                                                              
    3. Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more that 4 words)
        A local drug company produced counterfeit medicines by using dangerous substitutes
