An animal rights group has named that day as “Black Cat Day” to stop the killing of thousands of the cats. Why do people hate this animal so much? It is because people believe black cats bring bad luck if you see them walking across your path.‎ The black cat is just one of the symbols of superstition(迷信).You may already know that Western people don’t like the number 13. Besides knocking over a salt bottle，they also believe that walking under a ladder, opening an umbrella indoors and breaking a mirror can also bring bad luck.‎ According to Andrew Macaskill, who works for Teens, British people believe it is unlucky to see one magpie(喜鹊).But two bring good luck. “In Britain, people like to have a horseshoe over the door. They believe it can bring good luck. "Macaskill said. “But the horseshoe needs to be the right way up. The luck runs out if it is upside down.”‎ In the US, people usually spit on a new baseball bat before using it for the first time. They think this can bring good luck. Also, it is believed that good spirits live in trees. So by knocking on anything made from wood, people can call upon those spirits for protection against misfortune. People in the US also believe there are devils in brooms(扫帚). So don’t lean a broom against a bed. The evil spirits will cast a spell on the bed.‎ ‎21．In Italy, people hate black cats because the people think______________.‎ ‎ A．“Black Cat Day” is a bad day ‎ ‎ B．they walk on people’s path ‎ C．it is unlucky to see them ‎ D. an animal rights group try to protect them ‎22．From this passage，we can infer that_____________.‎ ‎ A．a1l the people in the world hate the number of thirteen ‎ ‎ B．many black cats are killed in Italy each year ‎ C．magpies are the symbol of good luck in Britain ‎ D．in the US, the things living in the trees can bring good luck ‎23．What is the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A．Black Cat Day B．Bad Luck and Good Luck ‎ C．Western People’s Belief D．Western Superstition Symbols B Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that ‎ there was a problem with it, ”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA. ‎ ‎ But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement . Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times, ”says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day. ‎ According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10. 3 million tons a year to 5. 5 tons . The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 . Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place . A kind of ‎ ‎“Green thinking ” has become part of practices . ‎ Great improvement has been achieved . In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs , ; today in 1995 there are about 6, 600 . Advanced lights , motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution . ‎ ‎ Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment . Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program . ” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson . ‎ ‎24. According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___‎ A. the social movement B. recycling techniques C. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day ‎ ‎25. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?‎ A. The grass –roots level B. The business circle ‎ C. Government officials D. University professors ‎ ‎26.

They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities. ‎ D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures . ‎ ‎27.

CO reduction ‎ C Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds Waiter / Waitress A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy ‎ their time at the restaurant.‎ Work in a library If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.‎ Internet jobs There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys(调查). ‎ These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.‎ ‎28. What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?‎ A. It needs a period of training. ‎ B. It pays much more than other jobs.‎ C. It can improve one’s leadership skills.‎ D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.‎ ‎29. A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.‎ A. in a restaurant B. in a library C. on the Internet D. in an IT company ‎30. The writer wrote this text to ______.‎ A. tell us the importance of doing part-time jobs B. advise teenagers how to choose a part-time job ‎ C. teach young people how to make lots of money ‎ D. introduce his/her experience of doing part-time jobs ‎31. Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys?‎ A. The teens have more free time. ‎ B. They can pay less to the teens.‎ C. They need advice to make products for teens.‎ D. The teens usually express their true opinions.‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.‎ Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.‎ All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.‎ It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.‎ ‎“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”‎ ‎“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”‎ Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?‎ Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their ‎ practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”‎ To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.‎ ‎32. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means___.‎ A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on C. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about ‎33. The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because____.‎ A. computers have become a trend and fashion in China ‎ B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently ‎34. Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?‎ A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.‎ B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.‎ C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.‎ D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?‎ A. To Type or to Handwrite. ‎ B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.‎ C. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.‎ D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分) ．‎ 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(请将答案写在第二卷的相应位置) ‎ Are you truly happy?
