阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Have

you

ever

asked

yourself

why

children

go

to

school?

You

will

probably

36 they go to learn language, geography, history, science and all 37

subjects. That is quite true. But 38 do they learn these things?

We send our children to school to 39 them ready for their future

work and life. Nearly 40 they study at school has some practical use

41 their life, but is that the 42 reason they go to school? There

is 43 in education than just learning facts. We go to school above all

44 how

to learn, 45 when

we

have

left

school

we

can

go

on

learning.

If a man really knows how to learn, He will 46 be successful, because

whenever he has to do 47 he will quickly teach himself how to do

it in the best way. The uneducated (

未受教育的

) person on the other hand,

is 48 unable to do it, or does it badly. So the purpose of schools is

not just 49 languages, geography, science and so on , but to teach

pupils the 50 to learn.

阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

A

Have you ever taken the train from Beijing to Shanghai or the train from

Shanghai to Beijing? Then how much do you know about the Beijing-Shanghai

7

new

railway?

The Beijing- Shanghai railway was completed in 1968. The line runs 1,462

kilometers

between

China

’s

two

main

cities

and

passes

through

five

provinces

and the city of Tianjin.

Since opening, it has been one of the busiest lines in our country. Ten

trains

run

on

the

Beijing- Shanghai

railway

every

day.

Five

of

them

are

non- stop. Now trains can travel at 250 kilometers per hour at most and the

time of the travel is only 10 hours.

China has become one of the countries with high-speed train services.

Trains run at the speed of 200 kilometers per hour on 6,003 kilometers of

track(

轨道

), and on some parts, the highest speed can be 250 kilometers per

hour. The 6,003 kilometers of track serves both high-speed passenger trains

and low-speed cargo(

货物

) trains.

Railway operators(

驾驶员

) have to deal with the problem of the speed gap

between the two kinds of trains to make sure they both run safely.

( )51. The Beijing-Shanghai railway is _________

A. 1,462 kilometers B. 1,968 meters C. 6,003 kilometers

D.200 kilometers

( )52. Half of the trains on the Beijing-Shanghai railway are ________.

A. old B. non- stop C. made in Japan

D. too

slow

( )53. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

8

A. Only one train is running on the 6,003 kilometers of track.

B. The Beijing-Shanghai railway passes through six provinces.

C. All the trains in China run without stopping.

D.

The

Beijing- Shanghai

railway

has

been

one

of

the

busiest

lines

in

China.

B

Do

you

know

the

phrase

“

Weibo

Addicts

”

(微博控

)?

Do

you

write

a

Weibo?

If you don’t, you are “out”!

Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a blog, but

it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why? Because every message on

a microblog is less than 140 words.

Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very

fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million.

People write microblogs for many reasons. For many microblog users, it is

a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing

different kinds of information, including news, everyday life, pictures,

music, videos and so on.

It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. However, this can

also

bring

problems

and

even

panic

(

恐

慌

).

For

example,

when

the

big

earthquake

and

tsunami

(

海啸)

hit

Japan

in

March,

2011,

messages

like

“Salt

can

help

people

fight

radiation

(

辐射)”

were

hot

on

microblogs.

Then

a

crazy

buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor (

谣言

).

In a word, microblog plays a new part in the life of Chinese people.

( )54. What does Weibo Addicts in the first paragraph mean?

A. People who are crazy about Weibo. B. People who seldom use Weibo.

9

C. People who first made Weibo. D. People who need Weibo least.

( )55. What is NOT an advantage

(

优势

) of Weibo?

A. It is short but carries many meanings. B. It can help us learn the

latest news.

C. It can send rumors.

D. It is easy to use.

( )56. What does Para. 2 mainly talk about?

A. How to use Weibo.

B. Why Weibo is so popular.

C. Who is using Weibo.

D. What Weibo is.

( )57. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Writing a microblog needs much time.

B.

Microblog

appeared

in

China

only

one

year

ago

but

it

is

so

popular

now.

C.

As

a

popular

thing,

microblog

has

its

advantages(

优

势

)

and

disadvantages(< /p>

劣势

).

D. More and more Chinese show great interest in microblog because it

started in the USA.

C

Singing

songs

is

fun,

but

is

it

also

useful?

For

learning

English

pronunciation(

发音

), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn.

At

the

same

time,

you

can

learn

some

new

words

and

phrases

while

singing

songs.

Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and

Chinese. You should do the same.

Some

words

used

in

songs

are

not

everyday

English,

so

you

have

to

be

careful

how you use song lyrics

（歌词）

when you speak. Most words and sentences are

very useful. You don't have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after

learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at

10

the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will

never forget!

Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the

Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal

spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe's favorite singer, B.B.

King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of

I Sing the Blues

If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke

and

sing

with

your

friends.

When

you

are

able

to

sing

a

song

in

another

language,

even if you don't sing so beautifully, you will really impress(

给

... ...

深

刻印象

) other people!

( )

58. Which is Mr. Joe’s mother language?

A. French. B. English. C. Chinese. D.

Japanese.

( )59. The songs from the Beatles are easy to learn, one of the reasons

may be______.

A. everyone likes the songs B. John Denver's voice is sweet

C. the lyrics of the songs are beautiful D. the lyrics are close to

normal spoken English

( )60. The underlined word

by______.

A. careful

B. excellent C. kind-hearted

D.

lazy

( )61. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. English Songs. B. The Famous Band-The Beatles.
