“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”  That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see.
小題1: By touching things,________.
A．you will have a strange feeling
B．you will learn how to reach out your hand
C．you can tell the difference of the things
D．you can tell what colors they are
小題2: When people buy things in shops, they often_________.
A．try them on firstB．keep their right hands on them
C．a(chǎn)sk about themD．feel and touch them
小題3:Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?” Because__________.
A．the things are used by people, tooB．people feel the things too often
C．people know how to use the thingsD．the things are hard to feel
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title of the story?
A．Touching by FeelingB．To See or to Feel?
C．To See Better---FeelD．Ways of Feeling

The website FarmersOnly.com calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.
As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.
So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You don’t have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly.com, but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s Heartland.” 
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.
Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, singlesinag.org, says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.
小題1:Jerry Miller started singlesinag.org in order to     .
A．help farmersB．support traditions
C．understand farmersD．represent farmers
小題2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?
A．She dislikes city lifestyle.
B．She prefers late night coffee
C．Country life isn’t well understood.
D．It’s tiring to get up early.
小題3:Which of the following is true of singlesinag.org?
A．Its services are free.
B．It provides dating services.
C．Only farmers can become its members.
D．Farmers in France can’t benefit from it.
小題4:The author of the text intends to     .
A．a(chǎn)dvertise for the two websites
B．introduce two websites
C．encourage social activities
D．urge readers to help farmers
小題5: It can be inferred from the text that     .
A．a(chǎn)ll farmers desire marriage
B．farmers are easy to meet new people
C．more farmers get divorced in the USA
D．the Internet helps improve farmers’ social life

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
D
The first MP4 player was born years ago. Soon many music fans were wondering how fantastic it is! If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!
Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.
What is MP4?
It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.
With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.
Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programs—TV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?
小題1: It is suggested here that you should ______ before buying an MP4 player.
A．first be a music fanB．have a knowledge of MP4
C．get familiar with MP3D．buy a CD-like disc
小題2:From the passage, we can see that MP4 is ______ MP3.
A．much bigger thanB．just as advanced as
C．not so particular asD．more functional than
小題3:Which function of MP4 is NOT directly mentioned in this passage?
Ａ．Storing digital audio and video streams.
Ｂ．Recording some movies in cinema.
Ｃ．Playing TV shows, games and movies.
Ｄ．Transferring particular music from a DVD.
小題4:From the last sentence, it’s clear that the writer tries to tell us it is ______.
A．reasonable to buy other digital products
B．impossible to buy something else
C．a(chǎn) very wise choice to buy an MP4
D．a(chǎn)n exciting experience to buy an MP3

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

By the time a student starts to apply (申請) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非學(xué)業(yè)的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.
1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (數(shù)量). Admissions (錄取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (組織) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉獻(xiàn)) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (頭銜) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (參與) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.
3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申請) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特別地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否則) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.
小題1:Who was the article written for?
A．US college students hoping to study in China.
B．Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.
C．Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.
D．Teenagers hoping to study in the US.
小題2:The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A．made clearB．something unchangeable
C．become obviousD．a(chǎn)t the right level(水平)
小題3:The author’s suggestion is to ______.
A．try as many different organizations as possible
B．start planning for college at the beginning of high school
C．make everything in an application consistent
D．put non-academic tasks before academic tasks
小題4:According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.
B．It’s already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.
C．It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.
D．Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.
