Passage 2 ( 2015江苏苏州市区联考，D)
There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as a housekeeper at Monk's House.The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was right above the kitchen,and when Mrs.Woolf was having her bath before breakfast,! could hear her talking to her- self.On and on she went,talk,talk,and talk,asking questions and giving herself the answers. I thought there must he two or three people there with her. When Mr. Woolf saw lhat I looked surprised,he told me that Mrs. Woolf always said out loud the sentences that she had written during the night. She needed to know if they sounded right and the bathroom was a good place for trying them out.
1 was not allowed to make coffee at. Monk s House Mr. and Mrs. Woolf were very particular (挑剔的) about coffee ami always made it themselves—so Mr. Woolf came into the kitchen at eiglit o'clock evei"y morning to make it. When we carried breakfast to Mrs. Woolfs room,l noticed that she had always been working during the night.There were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up,she could work,and sometimes il seemed as though she had had very little sleep.
Mrs. Woolfs bedroom was outside the house in the garden. I used to think how inconvenient.(不方便的) it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed.Her bedroom had been connected to the back of the house ： the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field. Because ihe writing-room was small,Mr. Woolf had built a large one for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.
I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing-room when 1 rang the bell for lunch at one o ’clock. She used to come in,smoking one of her favourite cigarettes,which were bought by Mr. Woolf for her in London.She was tall and thin and very pretty.She had large eyes and a wide mouth.She wore long skirts— usually blue or brown—in the fashion of the day,and silk jackets of the same colour.Mrs.Woolf wor^ clothes that suited her well.! ironed them for her and did any sewing that was neressai7—she was not able to sew,although sometimes she liked to try.There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs.Woolf was very good at doing;she could make beautiful bread.

Passage 12(2011黑龙江哈尔滨，A)
Venice is an attractive city in Italy.Tourists throughoul ihe world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange expe- riences.One moment you walk across tlie Rialto Bridge ,and there ’s nothing speoial.Unfortunately,when you come back to the bridge an hour later,it’s underwater and everyone's wearing rain hoots.
That?s just the way it has always been,which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice,the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (实际上) , there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods,hut all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工业的) factories buill nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse,causing the city to sink about 0. 75 feet in the 20th century.
So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project,which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (欧元) on it.The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets (海湾) .Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons. It's nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use,they are under the sea and full of water. When the flood comes,the water in the gates will be poured out,and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place,they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice.These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet,and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years,the MOSE will work as expected.
The MOSE project is now two-thirds done.The head engineer,Giovanni Cecconi,said, uThis is a war.During the war,it's not impor?tant that you win. Ifs important that youVe alive. We're alive. 'Anyway,this project is saving Venice from falling.
1. The underlined word4' construction' in the passage means “ ”in Chinese.
A. 建筑 B. 农业 C. 交通
2. Before building the MOSE gates,the Italian government stop the floods.
A. never built gates on the ground
B. built many kinds of gates on the ground
C. built some gates which were under the ground
3. When the flood comes, can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.
A. a—?b—>c B. b——>^c C. b—>c—?a
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Italian government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.
B. The MOSE project is half done now.
C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons.

Passage 7(2014 江苏镇江，C)
“In my day,we had to walk a mile to school—uphill,both ways." That may sound like an old joke.Today,only 13 percent of kids walk to school,down from 66 percent 30 years ago.
Studies show that fewer children are walking and biking to school,and more children are at risk of becoming overweight. Changing behaviors of children and parents requires creative ways that are safe and fun.
A walking school bus can be both.
It works like a bus,picking up passengers along the way at designated (指定的) “bus stops” except everyone is walking!
The Walking School Bus works as a supervised group of children walking to and from school along a safe and enjoyable set route.There are at least two parents in a group.One parent “drives” at the front of the bus,while the other parent supervises at the back. The different supervisors go with the children to and from school. Ad- ditional (增加的) parents may be needed depending on the walking environment.
The “bus” can go as often as parents want to “ drive” it and children want to use it.This means that it can even work as little as one morning or afternoon each week. All children are welcome to join the bus even if their parents cannot be drivers. And the service is free.
Socially,it's great because the children meet other children;oth?erwise they would only know by sight.
“ My children have formed some good friendships because of the Walking Bus.The parents get to know other parents too!" a parent said From our experience of the Walking Bus,it has only been a meaningful thing.lt gets all of us walking more and the children do not complain about walking like they used to.
Some kids said compared to the Walking School Bus,it's boring in a car when they were asked why not get into a car.
Besides these,it might have a good effect on heavy traffic.
1. How many students walked to school 30 years ago?
A. 66 percent. B. 13 percent.
C. 30 percent. D.53 percent.
2. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in the pas?sage?
A. controlled B. explored
C. required D. improved
3. What can the Walking School Bus NOT do to help the children .
A. make more friends
B. reduce the risk of being overweight
C. exercise more
D. complain about walking
4. The best title of this passage is
A. A new way to exercise

Passage 7(2014江苏苏州工业园区，C)

Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.
I looked down at my feet,ashamed at my behavior. “No.That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.
“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your tal?ent,they will accept you for who you are.I want you to always remem?ber what my father taught me,even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are ,” said Papa.
All I could say was ,“ Okay. ” Then I asked ,“ What should I do now?”

Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were crammed ( into one-room schoolhouses with poor books and untrained teachers. Their books came from England. Noah thought that Americans should learn from American books,so in 1783,Noah wrote his own textbook A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. Most people called it the 44 Blue-Backed SpellerM because of its blue cover.
For 100 years,Noah's book taught children how to read,spell,and pronounce words.lt was the most popular American book of its lime.Ben Franklin used Noah^ book to teach his granddaughter to read.
When Noah was 43 ,he started writing the first American dictionary. He clid that because Americans in different parts of the country spelled,pronounced and used words differently. He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way. He also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English. Noah used American spellings like color instead of the English colour and music instead of musick. He also added American words that weren^ in English dictionaries like skunk and squash.He spent over 27 years writing his dictionary.When Noah accomplished (完成) his dictionary in 1828,at the age of 70 ,the first American dictionary came out.It had 70,000 words in it.
Noah did many things in his life.He worked for copyright laws,wrote textbooks,Americanized the English language,and edited magazines. When Noah Webster died in 1843,he was considered an American hero.

Passage 11(2011 陕西，K)
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
Bollywood ： the Hollywood of India
You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year,and that number continues to grow.Just as the movie capital of the United States is Hollywood,the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟买) ，but it is usually called “Bollywood”，a combination (结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood.
No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances.In fact,music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.
Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music,but it is very like Hollywood in several ways.If Tom Cruise can hold a gun,so can the Bollywood hero Sharukh Khan. Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars.The personal lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines (头版头条) ，just as they do in the United States.
The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America. Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars,and they are also very exciting.
1. The name Bollywood comes from the words .
2. Bollywood is a place where many are made each year.
3. In India,the film stars are sometimes than music directors.
4. Every complete Bollywood movie has a few in them。
5. The Oscars in India are as as those in America though they are different.
