Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.
Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten widely visited sites on the Internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.
Many other companies have been rumored(謠傳）to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He stands behind his dreams at the very beginning. He knows the value of the company could fall down; however, he is in this to build something unbelievable, not be bought out by another company.
Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15billion dollars if Mark decides to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.

A．membersB．advertisementsC．picturesD．students
小題2:.Terry Semel was the CEO of _______.

點評：文章介紹了著名的社交網站Facebook的CEO Mark Zukerberg堅持自己的理想創(chuàng)辦Facebook的故事。告訴我們做任何事情都要堅持，堅持自己的理想不放送就會有很好的結果。本文考查的細節(jié)題較多，不能以自己的觀點代替作者的觀點，推理的根據來自于上下文，同時根據詞義關系推斷具體細節(jié)。

When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire. Many popular legends tell how dragons have killed brave knights and eaten beautiful young girls.
For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck. The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual (儀式).
China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. Another country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, a tiny country between China and India.
Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol representing their countries. This is particularly obvious during sports. The English think lions to be brave and proud animal and the English football teams have three lions on their football shirts.
Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course. The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a type of small kangaroo.The South African team is known as the Springboks, a type of African antelope. Likewise the New Zealanders, whether playing sports or not, are commonly known as kiwis. A kiwi is a native New Zealand bird that can’t fly.
All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics or the beauty and variety of their natural environments. Recently, a Shang hai professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. But in an Internet survey 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon.
小題1:In the opinion of the west, the dragon is ______.
A．a terrible animal that is not popular
B．a cultural and spiritual symbol of good luck
C．a reflection of China’s national characteristics
D．an animal that can create harmony and bring rain
小題2:Which of the following does NOT use the dragon as its national symbol?
A．China.B．Wales.C．Bhutan.D．India.
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The national rugby team from the South Africa is well known as the Wallabies.
B．The Australian team is known as Springboks, a type of kangaroo.
C．The New Zealanders are commonly known as kiwis only when playing sports.
D．The dragon is mentioned to have been used on the flag in two countries.

The history of modern art begins with Impressionism, a movement started in Paris in the mid-1800’s. At that time many artists painted in a very traditional way that involved spending hours in a studio, painstakingly (辛苦地) creating paintings that were extremely detailed. These paintings were sometimes of people or landscapes or historical events. In 1863, Edouard Manet exhibited his painting “Dejeuner sur l’erbe” at the Salon des Refuses. The painting caused a commotion (騷動), thus starting the Impressionist movement. Although Edouard Manet is the declared leader and founder of the group, he was not present at the first group exhibition or any of the other eight collective Impressionist shows. The movement gained more attention in the April of 1874 when Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Jean-Frédéric Bazille formed Society of Artists, Painters, Sculptors, Engravers and began exhibiting outside of the official salon. The same year, the term Impressionism was invented by criticizing (批評的) journalist Louis Leroy to describe their paintings, who worked for the magazine Le Charivari.
The Impressionists often paint out of doors and want to show how light and shadow fall on objects at particular times of the day. Their works are sometimes described as “captured moments” and are characterized by short quick brushstrokes (筆) of colour which, when viewed up close looks quite messy and unreal. If we step back from the Impressionist paintings, the colours are blended together by our eyes and we are able to see the painters’ subjects which often show colourful landscapes, sunlight on water as well as people busy with outdoor activities.
小題1:Before Impressionism, the works of artists were         .
A．quite abstractB．very confusing
C．very detailed D．quite controversial
小題2:Who first started Impressionism? ___________
A．Claude Monet.B．Edouard Manet.
C．Auguste Renoir.D．Alfred Sisley.
小題3: The works of the Impressionists are best viewed         .
A．with imagination B．at a distance
C．outdoors D．in a studio
小題4:The second paragraph is mainly about ______.
A．the painting style of the Impressionists
B．how to describe the Impressionist paintings
C．the influences of the Impressionist paintings
D．the subjects of the Impressionist paintings

Chinese and Western eating habits are different. In China, the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or elderly people at the table taste every dish first. But in the West, everyone has his or her own plate of food.
Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things you should never do during a Chinese banquet (筵席).
　Firstly and most importantly, don’t put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl full of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it appears that you want someone at the table to die.
Make sure the spout(容器嘴) of the teapot is not facing anyone, as this is impolite. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, you should not tap on your bowl. If you are in someone’s home, it is like insulting the cook.
小題1:What is the difference between Chinese and Western eating habits according to Paragraph 1?
A．In China people are very polite, while in the West people are not so.
B．In China people share the dishes, while in the West people eat separately.
C．In China people use the chopsticks, while in the West people use the knife and fork.
D．None of the above.
小題2:What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．The reason why chopsticks shouldn’t be put upright in the rice bowl.
B．The Chinese use chopsticks to eat.
C．The Chinese eating habits.
D．How to use chopsticks.
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．It is polite to taste the dishes before the guests or the elderly.
B．You can put your chopsticks wherever you want.
C．Never tap on your bowls with the chopsticks during the meal.
D．Teenagers can stick their chopsticks in the rice bowl.
小題4:The underlined word “insulting” in the last paragraph probably means “_________”.
A．playing jokes onB．laughing atC．treating badlyD．looking down upon
