    The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the 'Happy Birthday' song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
    In China, on a child's second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession(职业) the child will choose later in life.
    For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
    In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
    Eighteen is the traditional “coming of age”— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (选举), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
    In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!
    小题1:Which of the following birthday traditions can be found almost anywhere, anytime?
    A．Putting many things on the floor.

    小题2:In many countries you can ________ when you reach the age of eighteen.
    A．join the army
    B．have a key
    C．have a special ceremony
    D．have special sweets
    小题3:Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
    A．The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago.
    B．Some birthday traditions are only found in certain countries.
    C．You become the owner of your house at the age of fifteen.
    D．In many countries you have the right to vote at the age of eighteen.
    小题4:Which is the best title of this passage?
    A．Birthday Traditions around the World

    Driving home from work one evening in the heavy rain, I found a very wet, injured cat on the side of the road. He looked up at me, meowing pitifully. A car must have hit it so it wasn’t able to move. I stopped my car and carried the cat in and went on driving.
    At the nearest vet clinic, the vet gently examined it. "He's about eight months old and has two broken legs, but I would need X-rays to know how serious the damage is," he told me. "As he's not your cat, I don't know if you want to go ahead with this. It could be rather expensive."
    I knew it would cost me hundreds of dollars, but I agreed with his advice. The following morning the vet rang to say the X-rays confirmed two bad breaks in his legs. "I'll operate on his legs and put metal pins in them to keep them fixed." he told me.
    That afternoon I went to pick up my little friend. There I could hardly recognize him. His previously dirty fur was now a beautiful silver grey. His front legs were in two casts and he lay there looking at me, purring(发咕噜声) happily.
    I thanked the doctor and went out to pay the bill. "I think you've given me the wrong account," I said to the clerk. "This is only $85. He's had X-rays and an operation on his legs." "No, that's right," she replied. "The vet has only charged you for the medication. There's a message on the bottom."
    Written under the total were the words "SPECIAL RATE FOR ADOPTIONS." I was speechless at his kind and generous gesture. I paid the account and under his message I wrote "WITH GRATEFUL THANKS, CAT AND MUM."
    小题1:Why didn’t the vet give the cat X-rays immediately?
    A．The damage was not serious at all.
    B．The cat was too young to be X-rayed.
    C．The doctor wasn’t sure whether the author would like to cover the expenses.
    D．The examination was too expensive for the author to afford.
    小题2:What do we know about the author?
    A．The author was a caring and generous lady.
    B．The author often adopted animals.
    C．The author’s workplace was far from home.
    D．The author only worked at night.
    小题3:Which of the following is true of the cat?
    A．He was deserted by his owner and nearly starved to death.
    B．He was saved on a dark and stormy night.
    C．He was a lively creature with beautiful brown fur.
    D．His back legs were broken and had to have an operation.
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A．The adventure of a cat
    B．An impressive vet
    C．An unforgettable night
    D．Love in relays

    He was a hero that saved two children from the jaws of a cougar(美洲狮). Standing barely 1.7 meters, the 22-year-old with black-frame glasses might pass more for a Chinese Harry Potter. Yet Shen Huigang is now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing. Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar’s two grandchildren. Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere. By the time they spotted the cat, it already had the head of 18-month-old Julien in its mouth.
    “At first, my brain was nothing but blank,” Shen recalled. “But I believed I could get the child back.” He gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with his bag. Hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the baby and Hagar rushed to grab his grandson. But the animal didn’t run, instead turned toward 3-year-old Iris standing beside Shen. “Had Ian not been there, shouting at the cougar, remaining calm and standing firm, it would certainly have attacked Iris.” Hagar recalled.
    They chased the animal back into the woods. “We moved slowly to our vehicle as we waved our fists and bags, pretending to wrestle it,” Shen said. “The vehicle wasn’t far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.” As Hagar drove for help, Shen held the heavily-bleeding boy in the passenger seat and calmly kept him awake by hugging and kissing him in case he would go into a coma(昏迷). The boy was flown to a hospital nearby. Doctors later said his little skull had been punctured(刺穿) through to his brain in two places. Luckily, Julien made a full recovery.
    “Any hesitation, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien, but Ian was there…” Hagar said. Following the incident, the story appeared on Canadian TV networks in every city, and in many small town newspapers---plus many US Internet news sites. The Royal Canadian Humane Association planned to give Shen a Canada Bravery Award, but it couldn’t reach him because he had returned to China.
    小题1:Why did the cougar drop the baby?
    A．Because it was scared by the noise made by Ian’s shouting.
    B．Because Hagar rushed to grab the baby from its jaws.
    C．Because it wanted to attack Iris and took her away.
    D．Because Hagar and Ian were chasing it back into the woods.
    小题2:Which of the following statements about Shen Huigang is TRUE?
    A．He was called Chinese Harry Potter because he was very brave.
    B．His deed was spread both in Canada and the US.
    C．He was better at fighting and wrestling compared with Hagar.
    D．He was too shocked to move to the vehicle in the incident.
    小题3:What did Ian do in the car to keep the baby awake?
    A．He held, hugged and kissed the baby in the passenger seat.
    B．He drove the car as quickly as possible to find a hospital.
    C．He encouraged the baby telling him to be awake.
    D．He held the heavily- bleeding wound of the baby.
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
    A．Saving Lives From the Jaws of Death
    B．Experiencing a Family Outing
    C．Taking Care of Two Children
    D．Interviewing a Clever Young Student

    All the Lortons’ farm animals – the cows and the goats, the ducks and the chickens, got along well with Roger—a llama(美洲驼). But since llamas are used to thinking of animals like coyotes(土狼) and dogs as threats, it took Roger a few weeks to accept the family dog.
    Roger protects the sheep and lambs in two ways. First, he keeps the sheep together. A hungry coyote will try to scatter(分散) the flock and then pick off a weak or small animal that has become separated from the rest. But when a coyote threatens the Lorton’s sheep, they all run to Roger, depending on him to defend them.
    And he does, with his second defense: confronting(对抗) the coyote. Llamas are very curious and will run at top speed to investigate anything that looks interesting. When a coyote sees a three-hundred-pound llama rushing toward it, the coyote will not usually wait around to see what the llama wants.
    And once a llama realizes that a coyote is threatening the flock, the llama will stand between the coyote and the sheep to defend them. Often, the llama will charge toward the coyote with its head down. As it runs, it will sometimes call out an alarm to the flock in a high-pitched voice. Since Roger’s arrival, coyotes haven’t gotten any sheep from the Lortons.
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________________.
    1. a llama helps guard sheep
    2. coyotes are sheep’s main enemy
    3. llamas are much smarter than coyotes
    4. some types of dogs can’t protect sheep
    小题2:The following words can be used to describe Roger Except_____________.
    A．protectiveB．curiousC．braveD．patient
    小题3:It can be inferred that the Lortons are __________________.
    1. scientists studying llamas’ behavior
    2. farmers using a llama to guard sheep
    3. citizens keeping a llama as a pet
    4. businessmen selling llamas to farmers

    I sat at my seat waiting for the school paper to be passed around. I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.
    When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With a school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen had said that she would include some reviews of students’ stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.
    I sat at the edge of my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasn’t one story that got more than three stars .I became calm and wasn’t anxious to know my review. It was long after that I heard someone shout out “Five stars?! Seriously !” from behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Gene’s face, “Peter, your story got five stars!” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.
    I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible .For so long I believed I wasn’t as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of wring skills .But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world of me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.
    小题1:How did the writer get the school paper?
    A．His teacher gave it to him first
    B．The publisher sent it to him first
    C．His friend helped him get the first one.

    B．She seldom praised her students.
    C．She was very cold to her students.
    D．She was respected by her students.

    B．was always anxious to know the review about him
    C．didn’t know he got five stars until others told him
    D．looked through a few stories that had got four stars

    C．She thought it was extremely bad
    D．She doubted if it was written by him.

    Dr Asim Syed, 32, has performed more than 100 operations at London’s Hammersmith Hospital in the country’s busiest transplant unit, but never imagined that he would one day become a donor himself.
    He stepped forward when was told his 64-year-old mother might be dead within months unless she got a new kidney (肾). The worried surgeon brought her to London to be cared for at his hospital. However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process. He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high. Dr Syed and his mother were then advised to consider a new way of donating and receiving, called an organ-paired. That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother. The chain of three transplants took place at the same time on July 31 with Dr Syed’s kidney going to a recipient in the Midlands and Mrs. Syed receiving her kidney from a person in the south of England.
    Just hours after donating his own kidney, Dr Syed found himself recovering in bed next to his mother. Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”
    Now mother and son are recovering well with Dr Syed already back at work. Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.
    He said, “I did what anyone would do when they see a relative suffering disease. Although I wasn’t able to help mum directly, by agreeing to be part of a chain, I was also very happy.”
    小题1: Why isn’t it a plain sailing?
    A．No one can treat his mother well.
    B．Dr Syed was the wrong blood group.
    C．They didn’t have money to be in hospital.
    D．Mrs. Syed was unwilling to receive the operation.
    小题2:Why didn’t his colleagues agree to the method of blood-washing?
    A．It is very dangerous.B．It costs too much.
    C．They didn’t know how to do it at all. D．They didn’t have the relative equipment.
    小题3: What can we learn about Mrs. Syed?
    A．She was touched by his son’s deed.
    B．She has already recovered completely.
    C．After operation, she went her own home.
    D．She was in hospital in London for many years.
    小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
    A．The hospital still needs improving.
    B．Dr Syed has love and devotion to his parents.
    C．The expense in the hospital is too high to afford.
    D．Dr Syed donated his kidney to his mother directly.
