A
Have you ever had trouble trying to choose a gift? Perhaps you need a birthday present for someone who is hard to please. How about clothing? You might be worried about choosing the wrong size, color or style. Books or DVDS? You may not know enough about the person’s likes, dislikes and interests. And giving money may not seem right. Well, how about a gift card?
A gift card is a card that is issued by a certain store. It’s worth a certain amount of money. It looks like a credit card (信用卡), but it actually works like cash. A gift-card holder can spend the amount of money noted on the card in the store that issued it. These cards are big money makers. One reason is that when gift-card holders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they end up sending more money than the gift card is worthy. Unused cards are another big source of revenue (收益).
Gift cards are becoming extremely popular in many countries around the world. Why? People love the convenience---cards are easy to buy and easy to use, whether in the store or online, The receiver can select his or her own gift. And the giver doesn’t have to worry about finding just the right thing.
Receiving a gift car, however, is not the same as receiving a gift. An actual gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. It helps us appreciate the thought and effort that went into the choice. The message of a real gift is more likely to be, “I spent some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you.”
Often a gift card doesn’t pass on the same message as an actual gift. It may seem to say, “I was in a hurry. I didn’t have time to think about what you really like.” In today’s busy world, gift cards are certainly convenient. However, they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts, which sis to build a closer bond (联系) between the gift-giver and the gift-receiver.
21. The first paragraph is used to _______.
A. explain how use a gift card B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to choose a gift D. introduce the main topic
22. What do we know about gift cards?
A. They are the same as credit cards. B. They help stores earn much money.
C. They bring more customers to stores. D. They are worth more money than they cost
23. What is the advantage of giving an actual gift?
A. It is appreciated by the receivers. B. It reminds people of their interests.
C. It shows the givers’ thought and effort. D. It passes on more messages about the receivers.
24. The last paragraph mainly talks about _______.
A. the relationship between the gift-giver and gift-receiver
B. the bond between gift cards and actual gifts
C. the real purpose of giving gifts
D. the disadvantage of gift cards
B

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Husbands and wives use doghouse when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for forgetting their wedding anniversary (周年纪念). She might tell him that he is in the doghouse and treats him badly. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.
Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
29. The underlined expression “work like a dog” in Paragraph 2 means _______.
A. be hard-working B. have an unhappy life
C. compete for the same things D. become successful
30. If a man comes home late, his wife might say angrily, “______________”.
A. it will rain cats and dogs B. every dog has its day
C. you lead a dog’s life D. you are in the doghouse
31. “Leave things untouched” has the same meaning as “____________”.
A. become a sick dog B. teach an old dog new tricks\
C. let sleeping dogs lie D. make people dog-tired
32. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Expressions in American culture. B. Some expressions with the word dog.
C. A good way to learn English well. D. Dogs’ influence on American culture.
D
“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects (昆虫) as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties”
that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering 'a bug' in his invented record player.”
33. We learn from Paragraph 1 that_______.
A. American had difficulty in learning to use the word bug
B. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug
C. The word bug was still popularly used in England in the 19th century
D. Both English men and Americans used the word bug in the 18 century
34. What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Fault. B. Explanation. C. Source. D. Finding.
35. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the misunderstanding of the word bug B. the development of the word bug
C. the public views of the word bug D. the special meanings of the word bug

Dear Peter,
How are you these days? I’m happy to receive you e-mail, saying you’re coming to Beijing during the Spring Festival.
I’m on holiday then. Therefore, I’d like to be your guide and show you around some of the most popular places of interest if you like. By the way, my family invite you to celebrate this most important Chinese festival at my home. Then you can learn something more about our culture.
As you know, unlike in your hometown, it can be very cold then in Beijing. So you’d better take more clothes with you to protect you from catching a cold.
I’m expecting your coming and can hardly wait to see you. I’m sure we’ll have a good time.
Best wishes!
