Passage 1  Mobile Phone Madness
How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue(援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he decided to wrap(包，裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean. But the newspapers became larger in size in the water, and then even his roommates couldn’t help him pull his arm out. So policemen were called and they spent an hour unsticking the stuck student.
Passage 2  Crazy Pet Lovers
How much do you love your pets? Many people in China are famous for how much they love their pets. They dress them up in fashionable clothing and buy them high quality food. But would they spend 7,000 English pounds (68,000 yuan) on a wedding(婚禮) for their pets? And that’s what a couple in Brazil spent on a fancy wedding for their pet Yorkshire terriers( a kind of dog).
Passage 3  Oh, rats!
When something goes wrong, you can often hear Westerners cry “Oh, rats”. But when it comes to Southern China, “Oh, rats!” can mean it’s what you want for dinner. According to a report in China Daily, some restaurants in Guangzhou serve rat meat. But, actually, most of those rats are field mice. What would Mickey Mouse say?
Passage 4  Liar(說謊者), liar
Here’s some news that most women already know. Men tell more lies than women. The London Daily Mail cites(引用) a new study that says men tell about three lies a day, while women tell only two lies a day. Men are also less likely to feel guilty about lying, according to this week’s survey of 3,000 people by a research organization called One Poll. According to the Poll, lying to our mothers is very popular. But then, so is lying at work. And both men and women will lie when it comes to how much they’ve drunk. So how easy is it to tell when someone is lying?

【小題1】C
【小題1】D
【小題1】C
【小題1】C

解析1. A 此題是排序題，按時間來排。根據(jù)故事，很明顯首先是手機掉廁所里，再他嘗試用報紙裹手試圖去撈手機，結果報紙吸水變大他的手被卡住，他同學拉他上來也失敗，最后只好求救于警察，故選A。
2. C 此題是找原因，從下文would they spend 7,000 English pounds (68,000 yuan) on a wedding(婚禮) for their pets可知他們的瘋狂，故選C。
3. D 此題答案來源于文章3，“Oh, rats!” can mean it’s what you want for dinner可知D符合題意。
4. C 細節(jié)題的考查。文章4說According to the Poll, lying to our mothers is very popular. But then, so is lying at work，故lying to our mothers的比lying at work的更受歡迎，C錯。
5. C 也是細節(jié)題的考查。文章說到廣東吃老鼠的事情，但沒說中國人喜歡吃老鼠，結論過于片面。A,B,D文章都有提到。選C。

Some people like to get up late, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true.

Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people, and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.

So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. But air is never as fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.

Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.

Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.

Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work^ such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.

Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort (努力）to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise•”

Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

1.People don't always agree on whether to e»et up early.

2. In the passage the writer gives four reasons for early rising.

3. Early rising makes people happier according to the passage.

4.Early risers don't look as healthy as late risers.
