【題目】 What is the difference between a fear and a phobia? You might have a fear of dogs if you have ever been bitten by one. However, if you avoid walking down streets where you think there might be a dog, you may have a phobia, which is a strong unnatural fear. If the fear has started to change a person’s life, he or she probably has a phobia. Different surveys say that between 10 and 80 percent of us have at least one phobia.

You can probably guess what some of the most “popular” phobias are. Flying may be the safest way to travel, but many people are scared of doing it. Fear of heights is also very common. For example, Spider-Man actor Tobey Maquire can’t stand high places. However, Tobey is not afraid of spiders that most people are afraid of. Rupert Grint, who plays in the Harry Potter movies, is in fear of spiders. “In one scene of the movie, we come into the large spider’s hole, and there we meet a spider that is the size of an elephant and really scary because he has these hairs. I’m really scared of spiders,” he said.

Some people have phobias that are more unusual. For example, cats are very cute for most of us, but not for such powerful people in history as Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte. Actor Nicole Kidman says, “I’m not scared of snakes or spiders, but I’m scared of butterflies. Sometimes when I came home from school, the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate. I would climb over the fence, move slowly to the side of the house, or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate.” Clowns (小丑) are not so funny for actor Johnny Depp, whose childhood memory of the “painted faces and fake smiles” still makes him scared. Some other weird (怪誕的) phobias, including chewing gum, old doors or windows and footsteps, also fear some famous persons, such as Orah Winfred, Billy Bob and Sigmund Fred.

【1】Rupert Grint who acted in Harry Potter is scared of________ .

A.dogsB.snakesC.spidersD.butterflies

【2】Which of the following behaviors can be a phobia for these persons?

A.Cathy dislikes keeping a pet cat at home.

B.Victor cannot sleep well before the exams.

【3】We can infer (推斷) from the passage that________ .

C.famous people are easier to get phobiasD.phobias do not influence people’s life at all

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

文章大意：短文主要介紹很多人會(huì)有恐懼癥，但他們恐懼的東西各不相同。作者列舉了一些人對(duì)特殊東西的恐懼，如：恐高、害怕蜘蛛、害怕口香糖，腳步聲等。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Rupert Grint, who plays in the Harry Potter movies, is in fear of spiders. 在電影《哈利波特》中表演角色的Rupert Grint，害怕蜘蛛可知，故答案為C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Some other weird (怪誕的) phobias, including chewing gum, old doors or windows and footsteps, also fear some famous persons, 其他一些怪誕的恐懼癥，包括嚼口香糖、舊門窗和腳步聲，也會(huì)使一些名人害怕可知，D選項(xiàng)“每當(dāng)夜晚聽到腳步聲，Doris瘋狂地大叫”是一種恐懼癥，故答案為D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中Different surveys say that between 10 and 80 percent of us have at least one phobia不同的調(diào)查顯示，我們中有10%到80%的人至少有一種恐懼癥，及列舉的很多名人怪誕的恐懼癥的例子可推理出，在我們的日常生活中恐懼癥是常見的，故答案為B。

【題目】 "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation(回聲). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.

We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" shouted father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the apartment and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feeling. I walked aimlessly(漫無目的).

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.

But now … I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are different in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behavior on me.

We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I walked on the streets, without an aim in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. I walked on until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached where I lived, I saw all the lights were off except father's. I thought to myself, "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After an argument, he never showed any moments of regret. However, he always has the habit of moving quietly and putting my arms underneath the quilt in my sleep.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe ... With the key in my hand, I was very nervous. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw my father making my bed, my tears running down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us disappeared completely. Love — it's second to none.

【1】Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?

a. I opened the door and entered the house.

b. Sadly I ran out into the street.

c. I reached my house and saw the light was still on.

d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.

e. I walked about in the street without any aim.

A.b, e, d, c, aB.b, e, c, d, aC.b, e, a, c, dD.b, e, c, a, d

【2】What made the writer think of his childhood?

A.The street lights.B.The empty street.

C.A father with a child in his arms.D.The light in his own house.

【3】What does the underlined part "an iron door" mean in the passage?

A.難解的隔閡B.堅(jiān)固的房門C.狹窄的通道D.強(qiáng)烈的共鳴

【4】Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?

A.Perhaps the father is getting older and older.B.Perhaps the son has already grown up.

C.Perhaps they never agree with each other.D.Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.

【5】Which do you think is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The father treats his son in an unfair wayB.The father is actually kind to his son.

C.The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.D.The father is always looking for his son's mistakes on purpose.

【題目】 When 4-year-old British Prince George started his first day of school in September, 2017, Chinese language was on his course.

And he wasn’t alone. According to a report in September, about 51 percent of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as it’s believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.

In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Chinese Excellence Program in September last year. Its goal is to make at least 5, 000 British state middle school students speak Chinese well by 2020.

The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US, after only Spanish (西班牙語(yǔ)),with over 2. 1 million speakers, according to a survey.

Many US famous people such as Facebook founder (臉書創(chuàng)始人) Mark Zuckerberg and Obama’s daughter,Malia Obama, study Chinese as a second language.

So far, 67 countries and regions (地區(qū)) have included Chinese in their national course, so why are so many countries crazy about learning Chinese?

One reason could be that as China continues to develop quickly, Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people’s personal and professional growth. “I think everyone believes that China will be the next great superpower (超級(jí)大國(guó))... even if it' s not a superpower like America. It still has an important influence in the future,” said Aisling.

McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, “Learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth.”

This opinion was shared by former (前任的) British Prime Minister David Cameron, who urged(呼吁) British students to learn Chinese to “seal (抓住) tomorrow’s business deals” in 2013.

【1】Why do UK parents want their children to learn Chinese?

A.Chinese is on the course.B.Princess George starts to learn Chinese.

C.The UK government sets up the program.D.Chinese is one of the most useful languages.

【2】________asked British students to learn Chinese.

A.Malia ObamaB.David CameronC.Prince GeorgeD.Mark Zuckerberg

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Aisling McCaffery is from Canada.

B.Learning Chinese is the best way to be famous.

C.There are more than 2.1 million Chinese speakers in the US.

D.67 countries and regions have included Chinese in their national course.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.The ways to learn Chinese well

B.The increasing number in learning Chinese

C.Why learning Chinese has risen around the world

D.The relationship between language and development

On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings, office parties and celebrating with friends. Studies show it is easier to put on a few pounds this time of year. Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:

●Switch(轉(zhuǎn)換) to small plates.

Not only do smaller dished fill up faster, but the same size helps look like more food when it’s on a small dish.【1】But whatever the size of your plate, it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced; half for vegetables, a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.

●Measure out (按量配給)snacks

Your favorite holiday movie is on. Take a minute to check the nutrition label (營(yíng)養(yǎng)標(biāo)簽)and measure out a serving to keep calories (卡路里)in check. Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example, 【2】But the bag contains 2.5 serving. Eat the whole thing on your own, and you’ll have eaten 425 calories.

●Split an entree (主菜).

Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal. 【3】Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it's served. Or choose a small size, if available.

●Stop eating when you feel satisfied.

You don’t have to feel too full, or force yourself to clean your plate before putting down your fork.【4】. When you’re satisfied, save the rest for leftovers (剩余物).

A.Share a main dish with a friend.

B.Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger.

C.Enjoy an entree slowly by yourself.

D.So you’ll be likely to serve yourself less.

E.One serving (一份食物)is about 4 cups popped with 170 calories.
