A
A beautiful woman took a plane on business. She found her seat and sat down next to a young man. The man was just thinking of making a few dollars on the plane. When he saw the woman, he got an idea.
“Hey! Would you like to play a game?” he asked the woman. “No, thank you. I just want to take a nap (打盹),” the woman answered.
“It’s really easy. All you have to do is to answer the questions that I ask you. If you don’t know the answer, you give me five dollars. If I don’t know the answer to your question, then I’ll give you five dollars.”
“No,” the woman still refused.
“OK. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars. How about that?” the man said. Then the woman became interested and decided to join in the game.
“OK. How many moons does Jupiter (木星) have?” asked the young man. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five-dollar bill.
“What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back with four?” the woman asked. Then the young man took out his computer and searched the Internet for an answer. Minutes later, the young man handed five hundred dollars to the woman.
After a few hours, the young man really wanted to know the answer to the question. So he asked the woman, “What is the answer to your question?” The woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five-dollar bill.

You have a nice salary, but you still feel short of money. At the end of each month, you often ask yourself, “Where has all my money gone”? To help you better run your salary, here comes some money-saving tips.
First, you need to set goals to encourage you to save money. For example, you plan to have a good dress in one year, to have a car in two years’ time or to buy
- 11 -
a house in five years.
Second, form money-saving habits and stay away from those that waste money. Learn to keep a diary of how much you spend and what it’s for. Think twice before using money on expensive skin care products(护肤品). The best way to keep your skin in good condition is enough sleep.
Third, pay attention to your daily things. Leave no more than one light on when you leave home. Buy vegetables from a market where vegetables are less expensive and fresher, not a supermarket. When going to a supermarket, take a notebook with you. Write down what you want to buy.
Fourth, save your social life. Take the dishes that haven’t been eaten up away for next day when you have dinner in a restaurant. When it’s your turn to offer a meal, invite your friends to your home, cook the dinner yourself. If you are to attend a party and an expensive present is needed, ask several friends to go together to share a present.
8. The passage is mainly about .
A. four ways to save money B. how to set goals to save money

D. attend a party alone
11. Which of the following is NOT suggested by the author?

More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Traffic and pollution are becoming big problems in big cities all over the world. In cities like Mexico City, Shanghai or Cairo the quality of the air is getting worse every day. In the United States, people spend more time sitting in traffic jams.
Some of the world’s cities have already found the answer to the problem. In Bogota, the capital of Columbia, the government has taken measures to improve the quality of life for the city’s 8 million people. They created over a thousand new parks, a new public transport system, and built hundreds of cycling and walking paths. People who live in the city also joined in making their city one of the most livable (适合居住的) places in South America.
Today city planners around the world are looking for ways to provide more room for living and less room for cars. In America, public transport has increased over 2 % since the mid 1990s — not much but a start. More and more people leave their cars at home and get on buses, trains or even ride a bike to work. Some cities are far better at planning than others. In Amsterdam, for example, only 40 % of the population use their cars to get to work, 35 % ride bikes while 25% use public transport. In Paris, about half of the city’s workers drive their cars to work.
For cities in developing countries, the problems have just started. Traffic is getting worse as more and more people can afford to buy a car.
12. The writer listed Mexico City, Shanghai and Cairo as examples of cities of ______.
A. heavy traffic B. air pollution C. rapid development D. large population
13. What did Bogota do to improve the quality of life for its people?
A. It shut down some factories in the city.
B. It introduced a foreign public transport system.
C. It encouraged people to plant trees in the city.
- 11 -
D. It built new parks and a new public transport system.
14. From the third paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A. 35% of the population in Paris ride bikes to work
B. half of the people in Amsterdam drive their cars to work
C. a quarter of the people in Amsterdam use public transport
D. American public transport has increased much since the 1990s
15. What would be the best title of the text?
A. Ways to solve traffic jams B. New changes in transport systems
C. People’s new choice in big cities D. Parks instead of cars for the cities

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。
Question: I have been learning English for about 7 years. 16 And I still can’t make myself understood in English. However, I love learning English. How can I learn English well? Please help me.
Answer: Many people have asked me this question. 17 Here I will give you several tips for learning English.
● 18
First of all, you must want to learn. If you are not interested in learning English, no class will help you and no book will help you. So you have to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to learn English?” If you can’t answer “yes” to this question, it is better for you to set English aside until you’re ready and willing to learn.
● Set goals (目标).
To learn English well, you must set some goals. 19 It will also help you to see your progress. Ask yourself, “What are my goals? What areas would I like to improve?” Think about what your goals are, and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.
- 11 -
● Practice, practice, and practice.
After you have set your goals, you have a better idea of what you need to practice. Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily, you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal. 20
A. Want to learn.
B. I think it is not easy to learn it well.
C. Make friends with some Americans online.
D. Reading is a very good way to learn new words.
E. The answers are as different as the people asking the question.
F. The more you practice, the more progress you will make.
G. Having goals will help you remember what areas you want to work on.
