Five people are at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
First of all, there is Dr. Stone. He is a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quite country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.
Then there is “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkable young, no more than fifty. She is on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
Then there is a man I don’t care for very much, the engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children’s various illnesses. She is on her way to join her husband in India.
小題1:What can we know about Mr. Stone?
A．He is a doctor in the army now.
B．He is going to give up his work.
C．He has been retired for many years.
D．He knows a lot about the city the author is going to visit.
小題2:Who live in India?
A．Mrs. HuntB．GrandmotherC．Mr. HuntD．The doctor
小題3:The writer calls the second person “Grandmother” because _____.
A．She looks old.B．he respects herC．She has three daughtersD．he can’t think of her name
小題4: The underlined phrase “on leave” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A．on vacationB．a(chǎn)t homeC．a(chǎn)bout to leaveD．leaving

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:D
小題4:A

試題分析：
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段第二句可知Mr.Stone目前已經(jīng)離職，在旅行中。故排除A。
B.Mr.Stone已經(jīng)離職了，而非將要離職。從第一段第二句可知Mr.Stone還沒(méi)有退休，故C不正確。D.從He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.他告訴了作者很多有關(guān)作者即將要去的那個(gè)城市的事情。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)題。第五段Mrs.Hunt is one her way to join her husband in India.可知Mr.Hunt住在印度。故選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段I call her that because her name escapes me.我叫她那個(gè)外號(hào)，因?yàn)樽髡呦氩黄鹚拿至�。故選D
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。從倒數(shù)第二段可知，他在英國(guó)度假，現(xiàn)在返回他在新加波上班的地方。故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：文章描述了和作者同船的五個(gè)人的一些情況，文章文脈清晰，細(xì)節(jié)題較多，只需將題目帶到文中找答案即可。

Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example. What will be the next?
小題1:We can learn from the text that in the future ___________.
A．people will never get old
B．everyone will look the same
C．red will be the most popular color
D．clothes will be able to change their pattern
小題2:What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

C．Medical treatments of the future.
D．The reason for the success of new technology.

Saturday, March 24th
We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand（泰國(guó)）. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.

We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

High school graduation is indeed important for the person concerned. It is usually marked by a party where friends and family present the person with gifts as a celebration. Below are some good choices for those who will go to college.
You can buy a folding bike. It is a good choice for a high school graduate going to college who may not have room to store a traditional bike. He or she will love moving around the school. It can be easily folded and carried, which would be great for those who often trip back home on weekends. You can also buy a Walkman. It is not expensive. The person can enjoy music while walking, exercising or studying. It can help improve one’s mood.
College is an important time for a person’s career. Many high school graduates know little about the fields they will enter. So why not buy the person a book on what to expect in college life? That way the person would be fully prepared for college. Also he or she can tell something about it to his or her classmates. It is a reality that knowledge is something that cannot be taken away. Healthy food is a major issue in college. Some students have to put up with the bad-taste food in the college dining hall. A refrigerator which can keep food fresh is an excellent choice.

When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, they did it secretly. The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.
The noise about Pearl Harbor, made by Disney，has reached its highest point with its premiere （首次公演） before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
As Ben Affleck is the main star, the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.
At almost three hours in length, it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie. There is a love story. Affleck and his co－star, Josh Hartnett, both fall in love with the navy nurse, Kate Beckinsale and, of course, there is much human courage and love of country.
It’s certain that Disney will be accused of “changing” history. The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.
Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie. It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor．It is said he did nothing, as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.
Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities （暴行）. And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan, where it has a theme park.
Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise. A reviewer for Newsweek, who was given an early preview, acknowledged that the 40－minute sequence （連續(xù)鏡頭） showing the attack itself was powerful. The attack comes quite late in the movie, however, and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.
“Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie, ” the reviewer wrote.
小題1:From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to           
A．the day the United States was founded
B．the day people remember their ancestors
C．a(chǎn) day people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ
D．a(chǎn) day people remember those who died in wars
小題2:From the passage we know that Ben Affleck             .
A．regarded Josh Hartnett as an enemy
B．may be a very popular movie star
C．experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident
D．was in love with the actress Kate Beckinsale
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE about Pearl Harbor?
A．The movie will cause a lot of arguments.
B．The movie has made the Japanese angry.
C．The movie truly describes the Pearl Harbor Incident.
D．The movie shows that President Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention.
小題4:According to the passage, what does the reviewer for Newsweek think of the movie?
A．The scenes of the attack leave no impression.
B．The dialogue in the movie is original and creative.
C．The attack scenes occupy too much time of the movie.
D．The characters and the love story are less attractive.
小題5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbor.
B．The True Fact of Pearl Harbor.
C．Reviewer：Pearl Harbor is a success.
D．Attention！Pearl Harbor is arriving.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing (擠過(guò)去) past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批評(píng)) others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.
小題1:What is the author’s attitude towards English politeness?
A．He thinks it is unnecessary.B．He thinks little of it.
C．He appreciates it very much.D．He thinks it goes too far.
小題2:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．German men never treat a woman to dinner.
B．The author think it’s unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.
C．In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.
D．Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.
小題3:We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men ______.
A．like to fight with each other
B．treat women in a polite way
C．a(chǎn)re as generous as English men
D．a(chǎn)re unwilling to spend money for women
小題4:The author develops the text through the method of ______.
A．making comparisonsB．telling stories
C．giving reasonsD．giving examples
