The 30th Olympics will be held in London soon. More and more people will travel there and watch the games. And it’s necessary for the tourists to know the customs there. Here are some tips（建议）given by William Hanson, an English manner expert.
◆ Afternoon tea. The traditional view that the British sit down for an afternoon tea is not popular any more. Few people keep the tradition nowadays.
◆ Give tips（小费）— but not in a clear way. The British would like to choose a quiet way of saying “thank you” when they get good service. In fact, many British waiters will not mind if you decide not to tip at all.
◆ Greeting with a kiss. The British aren’t like their neighbors in France. They do not greet others with a kiss very often. Many people prefer to shake hands or pat（轻拍） on the back to say “ hello” .
◆ Conversation tips. If you are not sure what you are talking about, end a sentence with the word “mate”.
◆ Don’t talk about money. According to Hanson, British people don’t like to talk about money and it is rude to do so. Especially, never ask anyone how much money he or she makes a month.

Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(住房汽车).

Joan worked in a hospital. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course somebody had to be left to look after the sick children, and Joan was not of the lucky ones. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work that evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself.
She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy, Dick. Dick was only eleven years old, but he had a very serious illness and couldn’t move most parts of his body except his hands. Joan knew Dick would never get any better, but the little boy was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself.
Dick knew that Joan loved dancing. So when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted her with the words, “I’m very sorry that you can’t go to the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer, you’ll find a piece of cake that I from my supper today. And there is also a dollar there. You can buy something to drink with the cake. And I’ll get up and dance with you myself if I was able to.”

Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature’s great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.
“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist(神经科学家), Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for many years. “All laughter groups laugh ‘ha-ha-ha’ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”
Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.
And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.
Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled — they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.
By studying rats, scientists can what’s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.
Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.
“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, mainly because it’s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough ”
19．The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.
A．deal with B．work out
C．look out of D．come up with
20．According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______.
A．how they laugh
B．if they like laughing
C．what laughter in rats produces
D．how rats react while being tickled
21．What can we know from Robert Provine’s research
A．Laughter makes a person feel good.
B．Laughter produces a direct health benefit.
C．Laughter depends on all kinds of senses.
D．Laughter is a way of communicating.
22．What is probably the best title for this passage
A．Why Rats Laugh
B．When Laughter Happens
C．How Laughter Works
D．Why Laughter Matters
About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way. Women are luckier. Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. So some people say it is safer to be driven by women.
There are different forms of colour blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades（色调）of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Colour blindness in humans is a strange thing to explain. In our eyes there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell differences between colours. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colour.
Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes（蚊子）like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way humans also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible（看不见得）colours around us.
23．With the help of the cones, we can .
A．see in a weak light
B．tell different shapes
C．kill mosquitoes
D．tell orange from yellow
24．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
A．Women are more careful.
B．There are fewer colour-blind women.
C．All of them see everything in shades of green.
D．None of them has trouble in recognizing colours.
25．This passage is mainly about .
A．colour and its surprising effects
B．danger caused by colour blindness
C．colour blindness
D．the invisible colours around us

“The British government will offer ￡1,000,000 to anyone who can solve the world’s biggest problem—whatever it might be,” said Prime Minister(首相) David Cameron at a science conference. In an unusual competition, the Government will ask people to find out the greatest challenge(挑战) today, such as finding a replacement(替代) for oil, producing low cost food or curing AIDS/HIV. When the toughest problem has been decided, the Prime Minister will give away ￡1,000,000 to the person who successfully works out the answer. The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714, which offered ￡20,000 (worth ￡6,000,000 today) to anyone who could discover how far east or west ships had sailed. Sailors could work out their location north and south, and were able to decide their local time from the sun. However, they needed to know the time at a reference(参照) point in order to find out how far they had travelled east or west. Many people thought the problem was impossible to solve, but the prize was finally won by John Harrison, an ordinary worker. He did this by designing a clock that kept accurate(准确的) time at sea and made it possible for sailors to work out their location. Almost exactly 300 years on, Mr Cameron will have a group of scientists collect suggestions and draw up a short list of problems facing the world. He will then start a race to solve the most difficult problem. A government officer said, “We want people to think big: what does the world need and how can we achieve that We are looking for the next penicillin(青霉素), airplane or World Wide Web. Something that is going to really change what we do and how we live our lives—sending us ahead in the global race. ”According to Mr Cameron, it is important to “encourage new ideas” and “attract back the best and the brightest” to Britain.
30．The British government promises ￡1,000,000 to any person who .
A．can solve the biggest challenge facing the world
B．can find how the next penicillin works on illnesses
C．can think of the most difficult problem in the world
D．can help the Prime Minister run his government better
31．The Longitude Prize is mentioned mainly to .
A．explain why the government set up the prize in 1714
B．show John Harrison was a great success as an inventor
C．show that the government is very grateful to John Harrison
D．explain what gave Mr Cameron the idea of starting the competition
32．We can infer(推断) from Paragraphs 4 and 5 that .
A．ships no longer get lost at sea with Harrison’s invention
B．clocks on ships kept good time before Harrison’s invention
C．sailors found it hard to work out their location north and south
D．the sailing industry was very important in Britain around the 1700s
33．Which of the following is true according to the text
A．John Harrison was sure that he would win the prize.
B．The million pound prize will go to a British scientist.
C．The British government pays special attention to the nation’s creativity.
D．A replacement for oil is considered as the toughest problem by the scientists.
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging(挑战) for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales. “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up.
So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.
43．Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.
A．in a life-raft B．in Miami
C．in Simony D．in Panama

45．During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives.

D．Twenty passing ships
46．When they saw the fishing boat which later picked them up, _______.

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷仓），they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away at once. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said：“I think the two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship ” Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and kept speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads. In fact, the true love is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
47．The two mice didn’t run away at once because _______.
A．one was biting the other
B．the mouth of the hole was too small
C．they were not afraid of smoke
D．one was trying to help the blind one
48．Why did they lower their heads according to the passage？
A．They did not dare to answer.
B．They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.
C．They regretted driving a poor blind mouse away.
D．They did not express themselves much better.
49．It is clear that _______.
A．all the mice came out of the hole easily
B．each of the people understood the relationship differently
C．the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D．the people knew one of the mice was blind at first sight

【分析】试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是英国政府在设立经度奖300年后，重新设置了百万奖项，给那些能破解世界难题的人。短文中还给我们讲述了第一届经度奖，以及Cameron重设这一奖项的目的。
30．细节理解题。根据短文的开头第一句话“The British government will offer ￡1,000,000 to anyone who can solve the world’s biggest problem—whatever it might be,”可知，英国政府提供1,000,000英镑，给那些能解决世界最大问题的人，不管什么问题都可以。故选A。
31．推理判断题。短文中提到了经度奖，这是一个英国政府用来奖励能在海上确定准确方位的人的奖项，是在1714年设立的。现在300年后，受经度奖的影响，Cameron又重新设立奖项，奖励那些能解决世界难题的人。根据文章中The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714可知D选项符合文意。
32．推理判断题。根据短文第四、五段的内容可知，在1714年，英国政府提供20,000英镑的奖金，奖励能在海上准确定位的人。由此我们可见，当时航海业对于英国是多么的重要。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据短文内容可知，第一个经度奖被Harrison获得，文章中并没有提到说他就确定自己一定能得到这个奖项，故A不对；根据短文内容可知，这个奖项是给那些能破解世界难题的人，不一定是科学家；根据短文中such as finding a replacement(替代) for oil, producing low cost food or curing AIDS/HIV.可知，找到石油的替代品只是世界上难题之一，故D表述与文章内容不一致；根据短文的内容可知，it is important to “encourage new ideas” and “attract back the best and the brightest” to Britain.，英国政府奖励百万英镑给那些有创新能力，能解决世界难题的人，故C是正确的。
