    There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar（衣领） workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土话)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(车道), and explore new ways of living “green”.
    Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan(about US $700).
    The life of a green collar may go something like this: Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged.
    Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.
    “They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
    B．The increasing awareness(意识) of environmental protection.
    C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.
    D．The lifestyle of green collars.
    小题2:Green collars are living green because _________.
    A．they have a large income to use
    B．they refuse to live an unhealthy life
    C．they spend a lot of money and time in the open air
    D．they devote themselves to environmental protection
    小题3:What’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
    A．Appreciative.B．Doubtful.C．Negative(否定的).D．Neutral(中立的).
    小题4:The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_________.
    A．in heavy polluted areas B．in faraway places
    C．in a poor state of education D．in unfavourable(不利的) conditions

    小题1:D
    小题2:B
    小题3:A
    小题4:D

    试题分析：本文介绍了一个新型的生活方式——绿色生活。
    小题1:主旨大意题。根据文章第一段They choose to get out of the fast lane（车道）, and explore new ways of living “green”.可知本文介绍了一个新型的生活方式——绿色生活。故D正确。
    小题2:推理题。根据文章第三段的句子The life of a green collar may go something like this: Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend,说明绿领工人生活是绿色的，因为他们拒绝不健康的生活方式。故B正确。
    小题3:推理题。根据文章最后一段“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.说明他对这种生活方式是很欣赏的，持支持的态度。故A正确。
    小题4:推理题。根据下文的The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief（摆脱贫困）projects in China.说明这些人想要帮助那些弱势群体，那些需要帮助的人，故D正确。

    It was a village in India.The people were poor.However，they were not unhappy.After all，their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
    Then one day，some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs.However，they did not have enough frogs of their own，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
    This seemed like money for nothing.There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers.All they had to do was catch them.Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs.Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money.For the first time，the people were able to dream of a better future.But the dream didn’t last long.
    The change was hardly noticed at first，but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well.More worrying was that the children fell ill more often，and，there seemed to be more insects around lately.
    The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak.They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines.Soon there was no money left.
    Then the people realized what was happening.It was the frog.They hadn’t been useless.They had been doing an important job—eating insects.Now with so many frogs killed，the insects were increasing more rapidly.They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
    Now，the people are still poor.But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs.These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

    I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet, I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the car accident I had to see a doctor---- and go to court(法庭).
    After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury. I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
    But every time I want to see doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.
    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made pay him $770.
    Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving American. Knowing that, they played for time,….. and I left without getting a cent.
    My experience taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）.

    Fumbling with the buttons to find a good song while driving has been linked to increased risk of crashes, but is listening to music risky? “It depends on the music,” says a report published in the October issue of Accident Analysis & Prevention.
    The study found teenage drivers who played their own music had significantly more traffic violations（违规） compared with background music designed by the researchers to minimize driving distractions, or no music.
    Researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel recruited(招募) 85 drivers about 18 years old; just over half were male. The subjects were each assigned to drive six challenging road trips that were about 40 minutes long, accompanied by an experienced driving instructor. Music was played on four trips, two with selections from the drivers' playlists, mostly fast-paced vocals, and two with background music, which was a mixture of easy listening, soft rock and light jazz designed to increase driver safety. No music was played on two trips. Subjects rated their mood after each trip and in-car data recorders analyzed driver behavior and errors.
    All 85 subjects committed at least three errors in one or more of the six trips; 27 received a warning and 17 required steering or braking by an instructor to prevent an accident. When the music was their own, 98% made errors; without the music, 92% made errors; and while listening to the safe-driving music, 77% made errors. Speeding, following too close, inappropriate lane use, one-handed driving and were the common violations.
    The male subjects were more aggressive drivers and made more serious errors than female subjects. The teens played their own music at a very loud volume but significantly decreased the sound level when listening to the safe-driving music, researchers said. Mood ratings were highest on trips with driver-preferred music.
    小题1:What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?
    A．Many drivers played their favorite music while driving.
    B．Drivers shouldn’t search for the buttons to find a good song.
    C．Song selection has nothing to do with increased risk of crashes.
    D．Listening to certain types of music can increase drivers’ errors.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “ subjects” refer to in this passage?
    A．Something being discussed.B．People being written about.
    C．People being tested.D．Areas of knowledge or study.
    小题3:In the research, soft rock and light jazz are likely to _______.
    A．increase drivers’ safety
    B．add to the pleasure of driving
    C．change drivers’ idea of safe driving
    D．lower drivers’ guard against danger
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that in the research ______.
    A．the teens committed the most errors
    B．the male were more skillful in driving
    C．traveling with no music made the least errors
    D．driver-preferred music increased the mood ratings

    I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
    Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
    In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
    People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
    It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ‘Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
    小题1:When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________
    A．describe the place carefully
    B．show him a map of the place
    C．tell him the names of the streets
    D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
    小题2:What is the place where people measure distance in time?
    A．New York. B．Los Angeles. C．Kansas.D．Iowa.
    小题3:People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________
    A．in order to save time B．as a test C．so as to be politeD．for fun
    小题4:What can we infer from the text?
    A．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
    B．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
    C．People have similar understandings of politeness.
    D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

    There was a time when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters(匪徒)in return for “protection”. If the money was not paid immediately, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Getting “protection money” is not a modern means. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.
    Then Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a group of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to those who were willing to pay the high price he demanded.  In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money with this method. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero .When he died at eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had his picture painted, which was in memory of “this bravest man”.
    小题1:What protection did Chicago gangsters give to those who paid them?
    A．They saved those people’s businesses from destruction.
    B．They left those people’s business unharmed much.
    C．They sent soldiers to serve them no matter what help they needed willingly.
    D．They didn’t take those people’s lives
    小题2:Sir John Hawkwook's Italian name “Giovanni Acuto” was one which         .
    A．he gave himself in order to become better known to the Italians
    B．he earned through his sharp practice of selling his ‘protection’
    C．he needed so as to hire his soldiers to Italians
    D．was given him in telling his services to the others’
    小题3:The Italians regarded Hawkwood as a sort of hero          .
    A．because they couldn’t help admiring his bravery and boldness(胆大)
    B．as he aided the citizens in peacetime when business was bad for them
    C．he had played an important role in their daily life
    D．for he lived so long and was given a state funeral by the Florentines
    小题4:From the passage, we can guess the gangsters were those         .
    A．who were of great importance to the poor
    B．who made the businessmen do whatever they were in need of
    C．who were always ready to be sent abroad
    D．who did harm to others
    小题5:According to the writer, Hawkwood was           .

    The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
    "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio .They cannot every understand rhythm（韵律)"
    "Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I'm sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."
    One younger musician said, "There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a  month and I'm trying to find other places to play .I'm also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."
    I  really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.
    Attitudes are important. Whether they're positive or negative(消极) they're all rubbing      off on you,If you're around people who are always complaining or blaming others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don't support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call " friends".
    There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop , spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.
    Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.
    小题1:The musicians' conversation at the beginning is there to show that
    A．musicians' living conditions are not good
    B．people in that town have poor taste in music
    C．young people are more likely to succeed
    D．different musicians have different attitudes
    小题2:The underlined part in Para. 6 means________.
    A．they'll have an influence on youB．they'll help you realize your dreams
    C．they'll keep you from moving onD．they'll push you ahead very hard
    小题3:Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?
    A．He is more active than the others.
    B．He can earn more than the others.
    C．His attitude is more positive than the others.
    D．He has more things to do than the others.
    小题4:By doing the exercise mentioned in Para. 7, you can________.
    A．improve your ability to make friends
    B．make the right kind of friends for sure
    C．develop a better relationship with your friends
    D．make some new friends with similar interests
    小题5:We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT________.
    A．the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend
    B．one should avoid making friends with people having lots of difficulties
    C．the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends
    D．one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people
