I also really liked the Taj Mahal because it was even prettier than I imagined. My sister lost her shoes. But the people in India are really kind， so we found them again.

15、Leon was a postman. Every day after Leon woke up, he would feed his 37 cats. Leon didn’t really want 37 cats, but one by one they had turned up on his doorstep, and Leon had taken them in.

Every day, after feeding the cats, Leon would collect the mail from the red postboxes in the village and take it home to sort. “If only I had 37 helpers instead of 37 cats, my job would be so much easier,” Leon thought. Just then, the （分类）cats started meowing for their dinner. That gave Leon an idea. That night, Leon stayed up making 37 cat-sized postal backpacks. Each backpack fitted neatly onto a cat’s back. Then, he went around to each postbox, putting signs up that read: Postbox closed. Please use the Postal Cat Service.

The next day, Leon put a backpack on each cat and dropped off the cats around the village. Leon knew that the cats would be happy lazing around all day. He also knew that they would always come home for dinner. Leon spent the day relaxing, waiting for his helpers to return. Leon was right. The cats did return, but they did not bring home many letters. Somehow, the cats had managed to wriggle（蜿蜒而行） out of their backpacks. Or lose their letters. Or get the letters wet. “Cats are just too unreliable” Leon thought. Just then, there was a scratching at Leon’s door. （不可靠的）（刮擦声）A dog was waiting to be invited inside. That gave Leon an idea. 1．Why did Leon keep 37 cats?

16、When you hear the words “streets dancer”, what is the picture that appears in your head? For most people, it is a picture of a person wearing unusual clothes with a hat on his head, dancing to the music in a cool way. For example, a person who wears a large T-shirt dances on the street. Clearly, clothes those street dancers wear show their personalities (个性) and clothing styles. Now let us take a look at street dancers’ clothing styles.

Tops

If you look into the clothing styles of street dancers, you will notice that there is a large difference between the tops that men and women wear. For men, they often wear a large T-shirt with probably a jacket at times. However, for women, they often wear tank tops (无袖T恤) . Bottoms

Today, the street dancers still prefer wearing large jeans and a lot of men also wear Capri pants (七分裤). However, women start to wear mini skirts or shorts. Nowadays knee-high socks are also a popular new look for the women. Footwear

For any street dancer, shoes are important. Any pair of shoes that produces the slightest(最轻微的)sound can destroy(破坏) the performance. So they need a pair of shoes that allows them to move freely.

In fact, street dancers’ clothing has to be something that allows for a lot of comfort (舒适) and that shows personalities. The two points are important for any street dancer. Without those things, it is difficult for street dancers to perform well and show their personalities. What do you think about the clothing style of street dancers? Maybe you like it or maybe you don’t. Anyway, people have different ideas of beauty. 1．Clothes worn by men street dancers _____________. A．always include a small and cool T-shirt

B．are always made up of Capri pants and knee-high socks C．are different from those worn by women dancers D．are the same as those worn by popular singers

A．those that can’t make any sound B．cheap rather than comfortable C．those that could make pleasant sounds D．paid less attention to for they are not important 3．Which can best describe a street dancer’s clothing? A．Anything is OK if it is for him. B．Everything should be made by hand. C．The more expensive, the better it is. D．Comfort and personalities make perfect.

4．In which part of a magazine could we find this article? A．Science. B．Culture. C．Sales. D．News.

5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Fashionable Clothing Styles B．Clothing Shows Personalities C．Important Points for Street Dancers D．Street Dancing Clothing

17、People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.

Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying (满足) a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”

There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved—even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情). 1．Why do fewer people cook now?

A．Many people are too busy. B．Because they are too tired to cook. C．Many people don’t like cooking. D．They don’t like family meals. 2．The writer thinks a family meal . A．is a waste of time B．makes children happy

18、China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.

People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.

However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.

The difference could be due to the different weather. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad. 1．In southern China, people usually buy _____ at a time. A．a small amount of food B．a large amount of food C．enough food for a week D．a lot of meat and vegetables

2．If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _______. A．peel and cut them for you B．laugh at you

C．only sell them in boxes and baskets D．only sell a single apple or pear

3．Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ________. A．the weather is hot and wet B．food goes bad quickly C．the weather is cold and dry D．they live far away from markets

4．The underlined words \"due to\" mean \"_________\" in Chinese.

A．所以 B．但是 C．然而 D．因为

5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different Weather in China B．Different Living Habits in China C．Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese D．Southern China and Northern China Ⅴ.书面表达

We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student. 70 percent of the students agree with you. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in sports or arts. So they can learn from each other, and they may develop a friendship.

However, 30 percent of the students don’t agree. They think some slower students always talk in class instead of

listening to the teachers carefully. On the other hand, slower students often ask questions and they may influence others. I think I’d like to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other. We can make progress together. Yours Li Ping
