第二部分 阅读理解

A
One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, rubber and post while Americans prefer to use soccer, eraser and mail.
21. Simon went to London to____.
A. visit his friend B. spend his holiday C. study English D. have a meeting
22. According to the passage, the British usually spend their time____ on the train.
A. playing cards
C. doing some reading B. talking loudlyD. singing and dancing
23. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Differences in culture
C. Information abroad B. Simon's funny story D. Hiding the feelings
B
Nobody is sure where and when the expression "apple-pie order" began. Some say that Scottish and English writers used the expression a long time ago. Others say it was first used in the northeastern American states known as New England. The housewives of New England cut their apples in even slices. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way, row（排）upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it generally is believed that the expression "apple-pie order" began in New England.
Another old expression, "apple of discord", comes from ancient mythology（神话），however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses-Discord-was a troublemaker. She threw away a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess.
At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. This is how the mistake happened: In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America after Spanish explorers had landed there. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was "pomo di Moro"-apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought "di Moro" meant"d'amour"-the French word for love. And so "pomo di Moro" became the apple of love.
People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away. "
Another belief is based on fact. The expression is "one rotten apple spoils the barrel. "When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the container. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad.
24. Which of the following can we know about the phrase "apple-pie order"?
A. Everyone is sure of where it began.
B. No one knows for sure where and when it began.
C. It began in New England.
D. It has been put into use recently.
25. What's the meaning of "apple of discord"?
A. Cause of disagreement.B. Everything in good order.
C. Everything in agreement. D. Situation of danger.
26. What's the purpose of the third paragraph?
A. To show how the tomato was brought in from south America.
B. To show us a mistaken idea.
C. To tell us a love story about apple.
D. To explain how the tomato was called the apple of love.
27. Which of the following expressions is about health?
A. One rotten apple spoils the barrel.
C. Apple of discord.B. Apple-pie order. D. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
C
Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America form Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers” Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it is certainly interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.
28．Hamburg is A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beef
C. the name of a village D. a city in Germany
29. We know from the story that______________.
A. few Americans like hamburgers B. hamburgers were made by Germans
C. hamburgers are made with ham D. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago
30. Which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary based on para3?
A. Where all the words come from B. Where those Germans came from
C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning
D. The reason why English is spoken around the world
31. According to the story, the word “hamburger” comes from_______.
A. China because it has a long history
B. England because Germans don’t speak good English
C. the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eating
D. the city of Hamburger in Germany

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. You have to be with them in both good and bad times. In return, they will be there for you. But how can you be a good friend?
Listen. Listen when they are talking. Keep eye contact. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes you're not required to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
extra pencil or pen with you to classes as they may forget to take one. Have a few extra dollars in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them. Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and baking things are among the nicest things you can do for a friend when they are in hard times. Marilyn Mooe once said, "I'm selfish, impatient (急躁的) and a little insecure. I make mistakes, and I am out of control and at times hard to deal with. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you surely don't deserve (值得) me at my best. " Always remember this! If you don't want to deal with your friends when they're depressed, then you don't deserve to be with them during those parties where you have a good time!
Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for an ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Make time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. These are the things you'll remember once you're all long graduated when looking back on your life !

Dear sister,
Recently I have learned much from a girl who nearly lost her life in order to look good. I am anxious to give you some advice.
First of all, you may drink a cup of warm water after you get up, which will help you cleanse your body. Then, you should eat healthy meals, especially your breakfast, which will contribute to your health. Of course, there is no need for you to go on a diet. As to your food, you can add some fruits, vegetables and meat. You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Besides, you should do morning exercises, eye exercises and make full use of your PE lessons to help you keep healthy. Moreover, before going to bed, you can keep your feet in hot water for a while, which is of great help to help you relax.
My dear, follow it, please. Nothing is more important than health. Just as it says: Health is “1”, and the others are “0”. Once “1” loses, everything will lose.
Please write back soon and tell me what you think about my advice.
Best wishes for you!

Dear readers,
Recently I have received a lot of letters which refer to pains and puzzles between parents and children. Generation gap is a common problem, but both parents and children should try their best to solve it in order to live a happy life.
As parents, we should often communicate with our children in an equal and friendly way to get them to share what they are doing and they are worried about. Besides, we can do something to help them deal with what they come across during their growth. What’s more, we should show respect for them and their choices, giving them some room to do what they want. In addition, when there are times when we don’t agree, we should share our advice with them instead of giving them orders.
As children, we should respect and love our parents, who afford and offer us so much. When we are puzzled or happy, we can turn to them for help or share with them. Moreover, it is a good way to introduce some new subjects to our parents, which will bring both of us happiness.
In all, we should start out with love and, of course, we will end up sharing our love.
Yours sincerely,
Beauty

Report about means of transportation
From the table above, we know that the means of transportation in the city have changed a lot in recent years. From 2010 to 2012, the number of bicycles increased by 25% because riding a bicycle is convenient and a good form of exercise. Over 20,000 new taxis appeared in the past two years. People take taxis because it can save a lot of time and the charge is reasonable. The number of private cars has doubled, since private cars are convenient and comfortable. Last but not least, the number of buses has increased by 1,000, but public transportation is still considered as slow and crowded and its service should be further improved.
It can be concluded that people now have many choices when they travel and that traffic will become more and more convenient.

高一英语寒假作业（一）
I. 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Last weekend，Emma Zeiger,10, rode her bike ten miles in the pouring rain at the first annual Newton Needham Pan Massachusetts Challenge(PMC)Kids Ride. Nothing, not even bad weather, could stop her from making a difference.
This June, Emma and thousands of other kids across the Northeast participated in nearly 30 PMC Kids Rides. PMC Kids Rides raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. Created ten years ago by Ryan Wilkinson, 17 , and his sister Hattie, 15, the rides are a more kid friendly version of the annual Pan Massachusetts Challenge. The Wilkinson family first got the idea to create a PMC Kids Ride in 1998 when Ryan, then 7, wanted to ride in the Pan Massachusetts Challenge.
Ryan and Hattie?s grandmother had been diagnosed with a brain tumor(肿瘤). “We were experiencing cancer for the first time,” Ryan said, “So that was on my mind when I said I wanted to ride.” Unfortunately, PMC participants have to be at least 15 years old to ride. Ryan was only seven. So, the Wilkinson family decided to start a children?s version of the PMC. In just a couple of weeks, the Wilkinsons organized the Wildwood Challenge, the very first Pan Massachusetts Challenge Kids Ride. Thirteen kids rode around a neighborhood block 25 times. They raised $1,600 for cancer research. On June 21, Ryan and Hattie will celebrate the eleventh annual Wildwood PMC Kids Ride.
Since 1998, PMC Kids Rides have grown significantly. Every year, more and more kids participate. To raise money, kids do extra chores, babysit，host car washes, and send out letters asking for donations. “Every penny counts,” Hattie Wilkinson explains. “All of the money goes to a good cause. It?s really great to be able to ride for people with cancer and to represent them and raise money for them.” Since 1998, the Pan Massachusetts Kids Rides have raised more than $1 million for cancer research and treatment.
1. Why did Emma ride her bike ten miles in the pouring rain?
A. She did that for her grandmother.
B. She did that for the sake of her health.
C. She did that for people with cancer.
D. She was asked to do so by her parents.
2. When Ryan Wilkinson started PMC Kids Rides，he was only ________.
A. seventeen years old B. fifteen years old C. five years old D. seven years old
3. The idea of creating a PMC Kids Ride was inspired by ________.
A. Ryan?s sister Hattie
B. kids who suffer from cancer
C. the person who is responsible for PMC
D. Ryan?s grandmother?s diagnosis of cancer
4. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the first PMC Kids Ride was held in 1999
B. besides riding the bike, kids do other things to raise money
C. PMC Kids Rides have raised more than $ 1 billion so far

“Old wives? tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example，most of us remember our parents? telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking，but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic(蒜)is good for you，too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom?s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems？Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don?t is still a lot of truth in the old wives? tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.

They crossed in front of me as I was driving out of the store
parking lot (停车场)．I would be delayed for a whole ten seconds. However，I realized that it was an elderly couple who were briefly delaying my departure (出发)．No more anger.
The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. She was his eyes as well. The two of them worked as one----each needing the other to function in this fast-changing world.
That little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life. Suddenly I wasn?t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday. I had my strength，and I was still relatively young.
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasn?t so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. My wife always gave me good advice whenever I needed it. I started to think—not only was I lucky to have it all，but so was that wonderful old couple，who，despite the trials and hardships of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.
There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age，walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember，none of us would be here if it weren?t for our elders. We should spend an extra minute to listen and learn when it comes to helping our elder friends. They need it.

John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew，but whose face he didn?t. Thirteen months ago，in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf with the previous owner?s name，Miss Hollis Maynell，and took great interest in the notes in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.
With time and effort he located her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond.
During the following days the two grew to know each other through the mail. John requested a photograph，but she refused. She felt that if he really cared，it wouldn?t matter what she looked like. Later they scheduled their first meeting—7∶00 pm. at Grand Central Station in New York.
“You?ll recognize me，” she wrote，“by the red rose I?ll be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7∶00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose. A young woman in a green suit was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim and her eyes were blue. Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her，and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell—a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He felt as though he split in two，so keen was his desire to follow her，and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied him and upheld his own.
He did not hesitate. He squared his shoulders and said，“I?m John，and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me；may I take you to dinner？”
The woman smiled，“I don?t know what this is about，son，” she answered，“but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat.
