答案及解析：
1．A．此题是一道细节题，文章第一自然段的前三个句子就告诉了此题的答案。
2．B．文中有这样的句子"Who can it be at this time of night?"，此句说明Mr. Lee 很想知道是谁在午夜时来敲门。
3．C．此题是一道常识题，因为大家都知道在愚人节这天，人们可相互开玩笑。
4．B．英国男孩和Mr. Lee开玩笑，说明他把Mr. Lee看成朋友，所以答案是B。
In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conctor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'- a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an alt (成人) --it's just not done in Thailand .
1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .
A. were foreigners B. didn't have tickets
C. made a loud noise D. didn't line up for the bus
2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.
A. learn the language of the country
B. understand the manners and customs of the country
C. have enough time and money
D. make friends with the people there
3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.
A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.
B. to pass food with the left hand.
C. to eat food with your hands.
D. to help yourself at table.
4. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.
A. a common (平常的) habit
B. an important manner
C. a serious (严重的) trouble
D. a bad manner
5. The best title (题目) for this article is ________.
A. People's Everyday Life
B. Mind Your Manners
C. Shaking and Nodding Head
D. Taking a Bus in England
答案及解析：
1．D。这是一道句子理解题，也可以看成细节题。在第一自然段的最后，有这样的句子： No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus．从此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英国乘车的习惯，所以答案是D。
2. B。这是一道细节题。答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。
3．B。同第二题一样，此题也是细节题。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。
4．A。单句理解题。最后一个自然段中有说：In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting．这个句子的意思是：在欧洲，开会时翘二郎腿是很常见的。这说明许多人有这样的习惯，所以答案应该是A。
5．B。通读全文就会发现，只学习一门外语是不够的，还要多了解该国的风俗习惯，否则就会遇到麻烦，所以答案是B。
Tom walked into a shop . It bad a sign outside : "Second-hand (旧的) clothes bought and sold . "He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop, "How much will you give me for these?" The man looked at them and then said: "Two dollars."
"What !" said Tom. "I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars."
"No," said the man, "they aren't worth a cent more than two dollars."
"Well," said Tom, taking two dollars out of his pocket. "Here's your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. The list price (标价)of them was six dollars and a half. But I thought that was too much money, so I wanted to find out how much they were really worth."

答案及解析：
1．B．Tom拿着一条裤子并且问："How much will you give me for these?"店主所以认为Tom是来卖裤子的，故答案是B。
2．A．此题是细节题，可在第一自然段的末尾找到答案。
3．B．店主当然想便宜地把裤子买下来。
4．C．从短文的倒数第二段可以了解到，裤子不是Tom的而是店主的。
5．D．裤子的标价是6.5美元，而Tom只给了店主2美元，所以答案应该是D。

To find out whether bees（蜜蜂） see colours, the following experiment is made. A round table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard（硬纸版）with a drop of syrup（糖浆）on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive（蜂房）and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have found. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right.

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed ring the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.
1. Satellites travel _____________.
A. in space B. in the atmosphere
C. above the ground D. above space

前两天路过琉璃厂，才知道那条路早已被拓宽，原来路口有座敦实笨重的过街天桥，不知什么时候也被拆了。
十几年前，那座桥下有家店铺，小罗是店里的售货员，分管笔墨纸砚、篆刻印石，还有画册书籍三个柜台。我那会儿住得近，又正在跟一个老先生学写字，所以常从他那里买点东西。第二次从他手上买东西的时候，他一脸诚恳地笑着问：您真勤快，上回那卷毛边纸，这也就十来天吧，都写完啦？我当时一愣，感叹这小哥记性好，天天手下几百单买卖，对客人居然过目不忘。
类似这样颇显老派的优良作风，小罗身上很多，用一句话概括，就是得了琉璃厂老店温文尔雅、尽心尽责好风气的真传。
虽然没唠过家常，眼睛耳朵可没闲着，时日一久，还是大略知道些他的来历。比如小罗的口音和我认识的一位老作家一模一样，老先生是河北人，所以小罗也肯定是。再比如，逢年过节店里伙计倒休，别人换来换去，小罗却从不缺席，由此我又认定，小罗和家人的关系一定很紧张，十七八岁，正是叛逆期。
后来证明，后一条猜错了。
那年除夕，起大早去小罗店里买点红底洒金纸，准备回家写春联。琉璃厂家家户户张灯结彩，一派节日气氛。还在店外，就见小罗站在柜台里，愣愣地在看门口一个大爷抖空竹，神色有点忧郁。可我一进店，他脸上迅速流露出职业的微笑，我纯属客气地问：不回家过年啦？
小罗手指敲敲柜台：这儿就是家，当伙计的，没资格回家过年。
我又问：爹妈也落忍？
小罗说：爹妈早不在世啦。
小罗这样说时，仍是笑着，但我一时语塞，心里明白那笑全是为我——在小罗这样的年轻老派讲究人心底，对顾客只能有一种态度，就是伺候。
这样的小罗，如果不是亲眼所见，我绝不相信他有朝一日会骂人，而且骂的就是顾客。
话说过街天桥通行那天，我又去买纸。小罗正忙着接待一位阔太太模样的顾客，耐心细致地向她展示各种熟宣，柜台上已经摞了好几卷。
阔太太操着台湾腔，无论小罗拿出什么纸，都碎嘴唠叨尽情抒发着不满，嗓门很大。小罗一点不怵，在阔太太指使下，继续爬上爬下往柜台上摞宣纸，逐一详细介绍。正在这时，阔太太不知什么来由突然暴发，猛然把手中一卷宣纸朝地上一忽噜，同时鄙夷地对小罗说：都是些擦屁股纸，太烂了嘛，还要来骗我说有多好……
老板赶紧过来一脸堆笑询问出了什么事。此时的小罗，忽略过老板，双眼严厉地盯着阔太太不放，腰却弯了下去，把地上的那卷纸拾起，拍拍上边的土，一字一顿地对阔太太说：我在这店里，阅人无数，纸是有灵性的，它会记住你这张臭嘴！
小罗虽没上过几年学，可“阅人无数”这样文气的话，平常在他口中也是时时迸出，颇有古风。而在如此古风的衬托下，“臭嘴”这样的话，就算小罗最恶毒的骂人话了。
从那以后，再没见过小罗，听说他从那家店辞了职，回了老家

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this. You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone ring;
a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen; the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your wrk. Now you have
to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have sped up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have to no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps it’s because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went
“back in time”to see what was like without all the inventions we
have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house.
They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said,
“Themore things you have, the more difficult life becomes.”
They boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”
( ) 1. The writer uses the quote (
引语
) at the beginning of the story to __________.
A. tell us a truth about our life
B. tell us what life was like long time ago
C. point out what caused such a thing to happen
D. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
( ) 2. In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions ___________.
A. have sped up our live
B. have improved the quality of our lives
C. may make people feel very happy
D. may bring people some trouble

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!
