China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
56. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are fast and environment friendly.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are convenient and inexpensive
57. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.
A. to ride it for fun
B .to use it for transport
C. to improve his riding skills
D. to experience local culture
58. How did the author feel about his street crossing
A. It was boring.
B. It was lively.
C. It was difficult
D. It was wonderful.
59. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience
A. The author took great pleasure in biking.
B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C. The author was praised by the other bikers.
D. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always. looked for everything. Over time, Kate got nearer and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. ,Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing.
Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart,
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up.
She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in. cleaning up and holding on.

“You’re going to the United States to live? How wonderful! You’re really lucky!”
Does this sound familiar? Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But does it seem true all the time? Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting? A great many facts show that it’s not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture. They have to experience culture shock.
What causes culture shock? Maybe the weather is unpleasant. Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone, post office, or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. If you don’t look similar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel as if everyone is watching you. In fact, you are always watching yourself.
Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another. But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries. They were active and successful in their community. They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.
Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation(晕头转向), which may be homesickness, imagined illness, or even paranoia(偏执症). When people feel the disorientation of culture shock, they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture. Familiarity and experience are the long-term ways to settle the problem of culture shock.
64. Who is the passage mainly for?
A. People who have just moved to a foreign country.
B. Those who have got rid of culture shock.
C. People who can easily adjust their life in the US.
D. The family and friends of those who came to the US.
65. The underlined part “you are always watching yourself’” (in Paragraph 3) means ________.
A. you are always feeling homesick
B. you are always worried too much about yourself
C. you are always looking at yourself in the mirror
D. you are always nervous about meeting other people
66. Which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security?
A. A new identity. B. Strange environment.
C. Local food D. A new self-image.
67. The best way for the newcomers to overcome culture shock is ________.
A. to stay inside to protect themselves
B to make a study of the new hobbies
C.to adapt themselves to the new environment
14
D to ask people for help when having difficulties
D
The Youth Olympic Games, also organized by the International Olympic Committee(IOC),are a top sporting event for young people from all over the world. An event distinct from other youth sports events ,as they also combine a unique Culture and Education Programme (CEP),based around five main themes: Olympism, Social Responsibility, Skills Development, Expression and Well-being and Healthy Lifestyles.
The sports programme is based on that of the Olympic Games, with 28 sports featured on the summer programme and seven on the winter programme. In addition, the programme also includes exciting new disciplines and formats(形式),such as 3-on-3 basketball, ice hockey skills challenge and mixed gender(性别) and mixed National Olympic Committee(NOC)events.
Away from the field of play and through a variety of fun and interactive activities, workshops and team-building exercises, the CEP gives the participating athletes the opportunity to learn about the Olympic values, explore other cultures and develop the skills to become true ambassadors of their sport.
The Youth Olympic Games aim to bring together talented young athletes aged from 15 to 18 from around the world (205 National Olympic Committees participated in Singapore 2010 and 69 in Innsbruck 2012).
The Summer Youth Olympic Games feature over 3,500 athletes and are held over a 12-day period ,while the Winter Youth Olympic Games feature over 1,100 athletes and last 10 days.
Just like the Olympic Games ,the Youth Olympic Games are held every four years. The first summer edition was held in Singapore from 14 to 26 August 2010,and the first winter edition was held in Innsbruck, Austria, from 13 to 22 January 2012.
The 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games was held in Nanjing, China ,from August 16 to 28 in 2014,which again represented a happy and healthy platform for the world’s youths.
The 2nd Winter Youth Olympic Games will be held in Lillehammer, Norway, in February 2016.The 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held in Buenos Aires in Argentina in 2018.

A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
A biodegradable(生物所能分解的)mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent(透明的)window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief(缓解)for nature , according to the scientists.
“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.
72. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B. To discuss the development of the cell phone technology.
C. To persuade the readers to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
D. To introduce an environmental-friendly cell phone to readers.
73. Which of the following is true about the cover of the new type of phone?
A. It can hardly serve as the storage for the sunflower seed.
B. It may give out poisonous chemicals when breaking down .
14
C. It can turn into useful fertilizer for the sunflower seeds .
D. It may make the seed grow after the phone is thrown away
74. We can infer from the passage________.
A. other flowers may be used in the new type of cell phone
B. the new type of mobile phone is already on the market
C. the new type of mobile phone will sell extremely well
D. mobile phones is increasingly important to the environment
75.The most suitable title for this passage might be__________.
A. Develop a Phone. B. Enjoy the Sunflower
C. Protect Our Environment. D. Plant Your Phone

Dear Li Wei，
Glad to hear from you. You say you have some problems in overcoming the pressure of exams. Don’t worry. Let me give you some advice.
As a matter of fact, most of us middle school students feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. There is no doubt that exams are important to us students, but it’s more important to have a right attitude towards them. Therefore, try to study hard every day and make good preparations for exams but don’t worry too much about the results. And I think it’s good to go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercise before exams. Besides, having enough sleep can make us full of energy and make it possible for us to perform well in the exam. A hot bath or a cup of hot milk before going to bed might help you have a sound sleep.
Don’t worry too much about exams and try to relax yourself. I am sure you will do well in the exam. Good luck.
Yours,
Wu Peng
