When I was sixteen, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who

didn’t understand French. I believed that I wouldn’t have any 36 problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there. How 37 I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could help me.

―Yes,‖ I said, ―I want to give my friend a ring.‖

―Well, that’s nice,‖ he said. ―Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit too 38 ?‖

―Who is talking about marriage?‖ I replied. ―I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me 39 the phone box is?‖ ―Oh! I see. ‖ he said, ―there’s a phone downstairs.‖

When Danny and I met up, she explained the misunderstanding to me.

―Don’t worry,‖ she said to me. ―I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say 40 . Most of the time British and American people understand each other!

Famous comedians (喜剧演员）went to see Rock’s performances. One comedian (Eddie Murphy) helped him get work on television and in the movies. Chris Rock still acts in movies, but he does not want to be a serious actor. For him, comedy is more important. It makes people laugh, but it can also make people think.

People think of ice cream as an American food. Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored (调味）with fruits.

Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy, In France cooks changed the ice recipe (配方）and made ice cream.

At first, cooks tried to keep the recipe a secret. They wanted it to be a special dish for rich people. By the late 1700s, though, ice cream was sold throughout Europe and America.

Some great Americans loved ice cream. George Washington was the first to buy a special machine for making it. When Thomas Jefferson returned from France, he brought an ice cream recipe home with him. Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand (品牌）of ice cream was even named after her.

In the late 1800s, the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting(融化）anymore. 54.When did ice cream become well-known in many countries?

A. In the 1200s. B. In the 1500s. C. In the 1600s. D. In the 1900s. 55. Who do you think was the most important person in the history of ice cream? A. Marco Polo. B. Dolly Madison. C. Thomas Jefferson. D. George Washington.

56. Why can ice cream be sold everywhere today?

A. Because people can afford to buy it. B. Because there are many recipes for it, C. Because it is easy to keep it frozen. D. Because many people like ice cream.

What colour is your name? What colour is Wednesday? These questions might sound strange to most people, but some can answer right away. One person says her name is the colour red. For another person, Wednesday is blue. These people have a condition called synesthesia. This means they experience two senses at the same time. For these people, the senses of smell, sound, sight, touch, and taste are not separate (分开的）.They might see and also hear colours, for example, or hear as well as feel sounds.

The most common form of synesthesia is to hear sounds as colours, A person with synesthesia might hear the number three as blue or the letter D as red. Someone might always see green upon hearing the word April. Another person might see different colours while listening to music. Some people also taste colours. To one person, beef might taste blue and to another, yellow. Some people experience feelings in colour. For example, one person with synesthesia reports feeling pain as the colour orange.

Another form of synesthesia is to experience sounds or tastes as shapes. Some people see music as squares and circles. Some people taste a sweet as a smooth ball. There are other forms of synesthesia, as well. For one man, different words have different tastes. Some words taste like pork；others taste like potatoes or eggs.

Synesthesia is not a common condition. Perhaps only one person in every 5,000 has it. For these people, the everyday world can be a colourful and interesting place. 57.What is this passage mainly about?

A. An unusual condition. B. People who like colour. C. The colour of pain. D. Music and art. 58. How many people probably have synesthesia?

A. Only 5,000 in the world. B. One out of every 500. C. About 5 million. D. One out of every 5,000. 59. Which is the most common form of synesthesia?

This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces

and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. ―What could be causing everyone to act this way?‖

Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, ―My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.‖ The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?

Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.

61. The task I received was to find information about ________.

A. uses for peanuts B. American War of Independence C. George Washington D. my headmaster Miss Lancelot 62. People in the class acted strangely because ________. A. I was too proud of my homework

B. I mistook what the homework was about C. the whole world suddenly became quiet D. the teacher’s face turned to a stone 63. I ________ after I failed the subject. A. worked harder to prove my ability B. started to study from the 7th grade C. was so frightened at the awful result

D. was given a second chance to redo the work

. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________. A. the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all B. the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake C. the writer knew little about American history D. the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man

65. Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story? A. Seeing is believing.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. One is never too old to learn.

D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be s 2 to find out.

Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 3 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated(捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s d 4 helped build 1,679 new libraries.

Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 5 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have the opportunity（机会） to books, lectures, news and more.

Chances are that there is a public library in or near your community(社区). You can e 6 find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep

g 7 . Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home, i 8 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.

Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 9 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.

Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never c 10 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct! 十、书面表达（计15分）
