A

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

21．Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.

A．to show his magical power B．to pay for the delivery

C．to satisfy his curiosity D．to please his mother

22．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?

A．He wanted to have tea there. B．He was a respectable person.

C．He was treated as a family member. D．He was fully trusted by the family.

23．Why does home milk delivery no longer exits?

A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B．It has been driven out of the market.

C．Its service is getting poor. D．It is forbidden by law.

B

Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自觉的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble.

Nowadays，Korea is influenced by American culture.If you visit Seoul (汉城)，you will see a lot of fast food stores in each avenue，places such as KFC，McDonald’s and Burger King.

You will also be surprised to see many western style clothes which are different from our traditional clothes such as the Han Bouk.When you go around department stores，you can see many young students waiting in line to buy famous brands such as 96 New York jeans，Guess，Polo，Guest，Channel，and Cartiers.It is hard to find clothes which represent (代表) traditional Korean culture.There are only a few stores which sell traditional clothing，and these stores are starting to disappear.

When you visit middle schools in Korea，you will also find students listening to music on their CD players，mostly rock and roll，including the pop music of singers such as Britney Spiers，Christina Aquilera，and Ricky Martin. Moreover，if you ask students to talk about Korean music traditions，they probably will not give you an answer at once.

Now，however，there are some voices which are urging us to preserve our own culture. One is an association which insists people eat traditional food such as kimchi.They make websites to show how traditional Korean foods are beneficial for health，and they advertise on TV regularly about traditional customs.

They say that Koreans are losing their identity (特性)，and they are also concerned because young people don’t even know about the traditional Korean holidays.They suggest that the government prepare extra programs to teach young students about Korean traditions.Some middle schools have tried to do this，but it isn’t working very effectively.

A．the influence of American culture on South Korea

C．To make sure young people live healthily.

D．To keep their own way of life and culture alive.

资*源%库What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.

The tree house

Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil (土壤) to the home’s temperature.

The Lizard house

Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

Meals at home

This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.

Learning from the past

Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney.

32. What is the best title (标题) of the passage?

1. Green house of the future. b. The greener, the better.

C. How to build green houses. D. Changes of the houses.

33. We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .

1. with the root of a leaf. b. with the energy from sunlight.

C. with the soil under the ground D. with gardens on its walls.

34. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?

1. It will take in light. b. It will produce energy.

C. It will turn dark. D. It will turn white.

35. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .

1. will be more delicious. b. will be greener.

C. cost as much as possible. D. need more cooks.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you know what history is? It is everything humans have done and thought. It is the story of events. It is the story of nation and persons.36So is the hundred Years’ War. So is the first airplane flight.

37 There are many sources. Some are oral. Some are written. We can learn of the past from one person’s memory or from stories handed down through generations. We can see the past in a piece of stone. We see it in old paintings and photos. We read about the past in old records. They may be the ship’s logs(日志) or church records.38They maybe journals of presidents.

It is impossible to record everything about an event or person .39Question have to be asked. Answers must be found. Different accounts(叙述)of a single event need to be put together.

This is the job of historians. They look carefully at what they find. They search for causes of events. 40 .

1. How do we know about the past?
2. They also look for the results of history.
3. How people began writing is part of history.
4. History is all about the past.
5. What should people study?
6. Facts must be carefully chosen to tell what happened.
7. They may be diaries of pioneers.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m Li Hua. I took the flight BA793 on April 1, 2014. But when I came to my home, I found I lost a suitcase. I am writing to you to request you to help me find it back.

My suitcase is a small blue one with a zip. There is a label on the handle with my name and address on it. It is really important for me, because I had put all important documents in it, including my ID card, passport and so on. Besides, it is my father who sent it to me on my birthday.

Thanks for your kind consideration and I look forward to receiving your earliest reply. 

Best wishes!

Yours, 

Li Hua
