Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”？It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.. At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
小題1:If ten people are playing musical chairs，you must begin with _______.
A．nine chairsB．ten chairsC．eleven chairsD．one chair
小題2:Which of the following is not suitable for playing musical chairs？ _______.
A．A pianoB．A radioC．A tape recorderD．A telephone

If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different.       
If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God." came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.
If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff(即興的)remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.
Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote "If at first you don't succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.
小題1:To make your humor work, you should ________.
A．take advantage of different kinds of audience
B．make fun of the disorganized people.
C．a(chǎn)ddress different problems to different people.
D．show sympathy for your listeners.
小題2: The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.
A．impolite to new arrivals.　　
B．very conscious of their godlike role.
C．entitled to some privileges.　　
D．very busy even during lunch hours.
小題3: It can be inferred from the text that public services ________.
A．have benefited many people.　　
B．a(chǎn)re the focus of public attention.
C．a(chǎn)re an inappropriate subject for humor.　
D．have often been the laughing stock.
小題4:To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ________.
A．in well-worded language.　B．a(chǎn)s awkwardly as possible.
C．in exaggerated statement.　　D．a(chǎn)s casually as possible.
小題5: The best title for the text may be ________.
A．Use Humor Effectively.　　B．Various Kinds of Humor.
C．Add Humor to Speech.D．Different Humor Strategies.

Further education is officially described as the“post-secondary stage of education， comprising all vocational(職業(yè)的) and non-vocational provision made for young people who have left school， or for adults”. Further education thus embraces the vast range of university， technical， commercial， and art education and the wide field of adult education. It is this sector of education， which is concerned with education beyond the normal school-leaving ages of 16 or 18， that has experienced the most astonishing growth in the number of students.
In the 19th century the dominance(統(tǒng)治地位) of Oxford and Cambridge was challenged by the rise of the civic(城市的) universities， such as London， Manchester， and Birmingham. Following the lead of the 18th century German universities and responding to a public demand for increased opportunity for higher education， Britain’s new civic universities quickly acquired recognition—not only in technological fields but also in the fine and liberal arts.
Many new post-school technical colleges were founded in the early 20th century. The Fisher Act of 1918 empowered the local authorities to levy(征收) a rate (tax) to finance such colleges. The universities， on the other hand， received funds from the central government through the University Grants Committee， established in 1911 and recognized in 1920， after World War I.
A new type of technical college was established in the 1960s—the polytechnic， which provides mainly technological courses of university level as well as courses of a general kind in the arts and sciences. Polytechnics are chartered to award degrees validated(使有效) by a Council for National Academic Awards.
Thus， the third level in the United Kingdom is made up of colleges of further education， technical colleges， polytechnics， and universities. The colleges offer full-time and part-time courses beyond compulsory-school level. Polytechnics and universities are mainly responsible for degrees and research. The innovative Open University， with its flexible admission policy and study arrangements， opened in 1971. It uses various media to provide highly accessible and flexible higher education for working adults and other part-time students. It serves as an organizational model and provides course-materials for similar institutions in other countries.
Changes in British education in the second half of the 20th century have， without changing the basic values in the system， extended education by population， level， and content. New areas for expansion include immigrant cultural groups and multicultural content， the accommodation of special needs， and the development of tools and content in the expanding fields of microelectronics.
小題1:The first paragraph is written to explain 　　　　 of further education.
A．the developmentB．the history
C．the definitionD．the prospects(前景)
小題2:The new civic universities in Britain 　　　　.
A．replaced the dominance of Oxford and Cambridge
B．provided further education for all the people who need it
C．met the increased demand of the public for higher education
D．immediately followed the establishment of polytechnic colleges
小題3:Post-school technical colleges 　　　　.
A．were completely free of charge
B．were usually financed by local taxes
C．depended mainly on students’ tuition(學(xué)費)
D．received funds from the central government
小題4: Further education is 　　　　.
A．only for adult students
B．part-time rather than full-time
C．non-vocational rather than vocational
D．created for both young people and adults
小題5:The proper title for this passage should be “　　　　”.
A．British Further Education
B．Changes in British Education
C．Polytechnics and Universities in Britain
D．Less Opportunity for Higher Education

Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub．But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes（失禮）for the newcomers．
A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs - starting with the difficulty of getting a drink．Most pubs have no waiters - you have to go to the bar to buy drinks．A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own．This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose．
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability（社交）in a society known for its reserve．Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served．The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior．“If you haven’t been to a pub, you haven’t been to Britain．” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers’ rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”．
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat．For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks．Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order．
小題1:The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
A．tasteB．experience
C．testD．record
小題2:The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to ________．
A．encourage people to communicate with each other
B．encourage more people to consume drinks
C．a(chǎn)ttract more tourists to the pubs
D．form its own character of culture
小題3:If you don’t follow the local rules in a pub, ________．
A．you won’t buy good local drinks
B．you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff
C．you may fail to feel the local culture
D．you might get into a dangerous place
小題4:What may be the best title for the passage?
A．Self-service Pubs in Britain
B．British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places
C．Local Pub Culture in Britain
D．Manners in British Local Pubs

Animals are more like us than we ever imagined．They feel pain, they experience stress, they show affection, excitement and love．All these findings have been made by scientists in recent years---and such results are beginning to change how we view animals.
Strangely enough, some of this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonald’s and KFC．Pressured by animal rights groups , these companies felt they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental states of animals.
McDonald’s, for instance, funded studies on pig behavior at Purdue University, Indiana．This research found that pigs seek affection and easily become depressed if left alone or prevented from playing with each other．If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill．Because of this, and other similar studies, the European Union has banned the use of isolating pig stalls from 2010．In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact a day, and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting
Other scientists have shown that animals think and behave like humans．Koko, the 300-pound gorilla at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language．Koko can now understand several thousand English words, more than many humans who speak English as a second language．On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.
Before such experiments, humans thought language skills were absent from the animal kingdom．Other myths are also being overturned, like the belief that animals lack self-awareness．Studies have also shown that animals mourn their dead, and that they play for pleasure.
These striking similarities between animal and human behavior have led some to ask a question: “If you believe in evolution, how can’t you believe that animals have feelings that human  beings have?”
Until recently, scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically-programmed activity．But as Koko the Gorilla shows, this is not the case．In fact, learning is passed from parent to offspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom.
So what implications does this knowledge have for humans? Because of this, should we ban hunting and animal testing? Should we close zoos? Such questions are being raised by many academics and politicians．Harvard and 25 other American law schools have introduced courses on animal rights．Germany meanwhile, recently guaranteed animal rights in its constitution---the first country to do so.
小題1:McDonald’s and KFC give money to support scientist to do research on animals, because_____
A．they are international big companies.
B．they love animals.
C．they are pressured by animal right groups.
D．they earn a large amount of money and want to do some good deeds.
小題2:The research on pigs at Purdue University shows that______
A．pigs love being alone.
B．pigs easily become physically ill.
C．pigs need affection.
D．pigs don’t like to play with each other.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Animals behave by instinct.
B．Animals have self-awareness.
C．Animals have feelings and love.
D．Animals do not have language skills.
小題4:Should we ban hunting and animal testing?
A．Yes.
B．No
C．Not certain
D．Not mentioned

Ever thought you’d get to experience the smell of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair, or the scent(氣味) of the sun? Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that.
The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition “If There Ever Was”. It focuses on scent rather than sight.
The innovative(創(chuàng)新的) idea is the brainchild of curator(館長) Robert Blackson. His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation. The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they’re not actually made from them.
A smell can often conjure up(召喚) memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won’t have been able to pick out before.
“There’s a whole variety of different smells, including some extinct flowers,” explains Blackson. “Some have been gone for hundreds of years.”
One extraordinary fragrance(香氣) is the aftermath(災(zāi)難的后果) of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6,1945.
There is also the smell of Clepatra’s hair, based on incense(熏香) that was popular among ancient Egyptians.
The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred(燒焦的) material (the space station caught fire).
Among the stranger smells is the “surface of the sun”.
“It is hard to sum up. It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in” says Blackson. “It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal. If you can say something smells hot, this is it.”
A team of 11, including perfume designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition. James Wong, a botanist（植物學(xué)家）at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants.
He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the aromas(芳香).
The exhibition runs until June 6.Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display.
小題1:What might be the best title of the passage?
A．The Reg Vardy GalleryB．Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair
C．A visit to a new exhibitionD．The scents of ancient Egypt
小題2:Visitors can enjoy all of the following scents at the Reg Vardy Gallery EXCEPT  .
A．the scent of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair
B．the smells of charred material of the Soviet Mir space station
C．the scent of having a childhood vacation by the sea
D．the smell of the aftermath of the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Visitors go to Reg Vardy Gallery to enjoy beautiful sights.
B．James Wong managed to remix the aromas by referring to some historical reports.
C．The exhibition will last until July 6.
D．The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb (墳?zāi)? of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
小題4:In which session are you likely to read the passage in a newspaper?
A．ScienceB．EducationC．EntertainmentD．Economy

There’s a time to get angry, and it’s best for your child if you do. Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反應(yīng)）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.
　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism （批評）to heart.
　　When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.
小題1:According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?
A．Ask the child not to do it again any time.
B．Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.
C．Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.
D．Let the child know you still love hime or her.
小題2:What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?
A．Calm themselves down before scolding him.
B．Hide their feelings when talking to him.
C．Explain immediately why he was wrong.
D．Speak strongly and angrily to him.
小題3:What could be the best title for the text?
A．Different Ways to Deal with Children’s Wrongdoings
B．Differences among Parents in Dealing with Children
C．Best Ways to Stop Children’s Wrongdoings
D．Research on Preventing Children from Hurting Others

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Who's in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug－we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一劑毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom－the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot-control what other people think. People have their own agenda(日程安排), and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probable pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way－make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values－not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic(真實的), effective, purposeful and happy life.
小題1:What Oscar Wilde says implies that      .
A．most people's thoughts are controlled by others.
B．we have thoughts similar to those of others.
C．most people have a variety of thoughts.
D．other people's thoughts are more important.
小題2: What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?
A．The price of taking the drug is freedom.
B．Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.
C．We may lose ourselves to please others.
D．We need to pay for what we want to get.
小題3: It can be concluded from the passage that     .
A．it's important to accept others' opinions.
B．it's better to do what we like.
C．we shouldn't care what others think.
D．we shouldn't change our won opinions.
小題4: The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by     .
A．making suggestions.B．a(chǎn)nalyzing causes and effects.
C．providing examples and facts.D．discussing questions
