I have tried to write a ghost story that won't make you unhappy with yourselves，with the seasons，or with me．I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly．
Charles Diclens
One Christmas Eve，old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office．It was a cold，foggy day．The fog was so thick that he houses opposite were like ghosts．It was only three o'clock in the afternoon，but it was already quiet dark．
"Merry Christmas，Uncle!God bless you!"cried a happy voice，It was Scrooge's nephew．"
"Bah!"said Scrooge．"Humbug!（骗人的话）"
"Christmas is a humbug!Surely you don't mean that，Uncle．"said his nephew．
"I do，"said Scrooge．"Merry Christmas!What reason have you got to be merry？you're poor．"
"OK，then，"replied the nephew cheerfully．"What reason have you got to be sad？You are rich．Don't be angry，Uncle!！"said his nephew．
"What else can I be？"answered the uncle，"I live in a world of fools!Merry Christmas!What's Christmas time to you？It's a time for paying bills without money．It's a time for finding yourself a year older，but not richer．Everyone who goes around saying‘Merry Christmas'should have his tongue cut out．Yes，he should!"
"Uncle!Please don't say that!"said the nephew．"I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time，a kind，and a charitable，happy time，And so，Uncle Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket，but I think it has done me good．And it will do me good．And I say，God bless it!"
Bob，standing in the comer of the room，applauded（鼓掌）．He realized his mistake very soon，and went quickly back to his work，but Scrooge hand heard him．
"One more sound from you，Bob Cratchit，"said Scrooge，"and you'll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!"
"Don't be angry with him，Uncle．Come and have dinner with us tomorrow．"
"No．"said Scrooge．
"I'm sorry you don't want to celebrate Christmas．But I do，So a Merry Christmas，Uncle!"
"Good afternoon!"said Scrooge．
"And a Happy New Year!"said his nephew．
"Good afternoon!"said Scrooge again．
His nephew left the room，He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas，And Bob replied，"A Merry Christmas to you，too．"

All living things need energy to live and grow．This energy comes first from the sun．Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food．Animals can not make their own food，and they eat plants．Other animals then eat the plant eaters．
A food chain shows what eats what．It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zabras．
Lions also eat other animals．Zebras eat other kinds of plants．So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy．
A food web shows how food chains work together．From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals．
Plants and animals that live in hot，dry deserts depend on water as well as food．Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water．Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats．Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water．They get all the water they need from the plants they eat．Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food．Ringtail cats also come out only at night．Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats．Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats．
Nothing is wasted in a food web，Vultures eat dead animals．Vultures are scavengers．Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food．They eat animals that are already dead．When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies，it makes a meal for the vultures．Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean．
31．Where does the energy that living things need first come from？
A．Animals
B．Plants
C．The sun
D．Plant eaters
32．Why do ringtail cats come out only at night？
A．Because they are afraid of coyotes

"You have our promise．"Sir Henry said．
"An elephant hunter．Evans，told me the tale．"I said，"he told me there was a destroyed city northwest of the Solomon Mountain，and Solomon had his diamond mines there"

"He took out an old map to me，'This map has been in my family for hundreds of years，'he said，'it will make you the richest in the world．'Then he died．"
I took the map out of my pocket and passed to Sir Henry．Sir Henry read the writing："Fam Silverter．I am in a cave north of the mountain．I am dying of hunger．With my own eyes I have seen the diamonds in Solomon's treasure cave behind the white Death．If you do find it，you will be a rich man!"
I took back the map and put it in my pocket．

Many hundreds of years ago，the moon was a mystery to people on the earth．What was that glowing ball came out at night？Why did it keep getting smaller，then larger？Why didn't it fall from the sky？Through the ages，people have tried to come up with answers．
To the native people of Bolivia，in South American，the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth．The Abaluyian people of Kenya，in Africa，believe the moon and the sun were brothers who fought in the sky．In other parts of the world，people believed they saw different pictures in the moon．The Haida Indians of Canada saw a woman carrying a bucket．The Chinese saw a road．
People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar．In fact，in some languages，the word for moon meant "month"．A Native American nation called the Sioux made a calendar of 13moons，or months．Each moon had a name，such as Moon of Black Cherries，Moon of Green Corn，and Moon of Severe Cold．
Though people of the past found the moon was helpful，mysterious and interesting，they didn't know much about it．They only knew what they could see with their own eyes．
Then almost 400years age，an Italian acientist named Galileo made a new telescope（望远镜） that was more powerful than any telescope made before．Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon．He discovered that the moon was not the smooth，shiny ball．The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains．The flat areas were lower，which is why they appeared darker．
As more people saw the moon through telescopes，they discovered more about it．Yet，people still had much to learn about the moon．

This year the US will honour （纪念）one of the country's most famous writers﹣Mark Twain （1835﹣1910）．Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhome Clemens，but how many know where the pen name "Mark Twain" came from？
The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer．"Mark Twain" was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms （6 feet）deep．"Twain" is an old﹣fashioned way of saying "two"．Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years，a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi（1883）．
The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works﹣who could forget the journey of Huck an Jim along it in his most famous book．The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn（1884）？
With little education，he had to teach himself how to write stories．Whenever possible，he would go to public libraries．There he spent much time reading and thinking，which greatly helped him with his writing．
On the other hand，his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers．Twain wrote in a style that has been called "local colour" because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs．
This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer（1876）and its follow﹣up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn，which many people call "The Great American Novel"．
The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself．Huck did not enjoy schooling．It shows in the way he uses language，in a spoken style．Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well．
34．What does the underlined word "gift" mean in the passage？ ．
A．Twain's talent for self﹣teaching．
B．Twain's "local colour" writing style．
C．Twain's good sense of humour
D．Twain's experiences as a ship pilot
35．According to the passage，what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn． ．
A．The deep social meaning
B．The exciting life experiences
C．The special way that Huck talks
D．The nice view of the Mississippi

A．At the beginning of Paragraph 2
B．At the beginning of Paragraph 3
C．At the beginning of Paragraph 4
D．At the beginning of Paragraph 5
37．what is the passage mainly about？ ．
A．Mark Twain's career as a great writer
B．Mark Twain's interest in describing local life
C．Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field
D．Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing．
There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India，but the tree﹣bees are the most terrible．They are killers．Unlike most bees which will sting （叮咬）you only if they are disturbed （打扰），tree﹣bees will attack you in thousands for no reason．And they will chase（追赶） you for your life．
Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year．I found myself，without the least warning，the centre of such an attack．The air above me suddenly became thick with bees．Though it was hot．I went cold all over．Until then I had never heard of Indian tree﹣bees，but I had recently seen a film called "The Angry Swarm"． which was about killer﹣bees．
I began running to the village about half a mile away，but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees．I drove them away with my hands，only to make room for others．Each time I opened my mouth tor breath，more bees entered my mouth，until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe．
When I reached the village．I found some workers building a house．I ran towards them for help．But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me．they ran for safety at top speed．
Soon my eyes had completely closed．I fell into a pile of brick dust．I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered．And then I found myself in a worse situation﹣the dust nearly stopped me from breathing．When I tried hard to get out of the dust，the angry bees made a new attack on me．I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles．Soon I lost my consciousness （意识）．
Later I learned that two quick﹣minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded （包围）me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away．They stayed with me，taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment．
31．What can we infer（推断）from the second paragraph（段落）． ．

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person，I was studying in the third grade．I saw some disabled people before，but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through（经历）．
When a new student arrived in my third grade class，I thought it would just be a common student，but this student was different．His name was Derek and he had autism（孤独症）．He sometimes had random outbursts （随意的发作）during class and we would stand there，doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that．When he sat down at desk，we would try to get away from him．After class，we would play jokes on each other，imitating（模仿）Derek，and laughing about it．
Then one day，Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us．She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts﹣he was trying to communicate．Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets．When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak，the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day．We all understood her meaning．
After this talk，no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him．We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends．Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us．My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson．
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently．I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her．

During my first two weeks at the University of California，Berkeley，I experienced some unexpected，funny，and sometimes embarrassing（令人尴尬的） situations．Allow me to share some with you．
But first，let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States．Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris．It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley．
I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events．Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris．For example，in only 24hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease（租约） agreement for a flat．What's more，almost all the shops are open on Sunday，which is very practical for me．
The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class．They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class，In France，students respect the teacher's lesson，so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class．
The local people in California are in general very nice，open and active，However，I am not totally used to their habits yet．Indeed，I was used to shaking my friends' hands every day in France．During my second day at Berkeley，I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me "I think we already met!"
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended：A girl that I meet before came to hug me．I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello．So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed．
I live a great experience at present，and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC，Berkeley．
31．According to the writer's advice，before students study in America，they should ．
A．make a lease agreement for a flat
B．leave their warm clothes at home
C．pay attention to the local weather
D．prepare a phone as early as possible

A．he and the write had known each other in France
B．Americans needn't shake hands when they met again
C．he was not used to shaking hands with others
D．the write had forgotten about their last meeting
33．What does the writer mainly want to tell us？
A．His experience at UC，Berkeley．
B．The relationship between classmates．
C．His advice on studying abroad．
D．The difference in attending a class．
28．The material above is ．
A．a book report
B．a book list
C．a book review

Globalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act．
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization．Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good．Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer．These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca﹣Cola and McDonald's destroy（破坏）local businesses．However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer．They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures．These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars．This is because countries with economic（经济的）connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't destroyed．
Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures．
Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the would．For some workers，such as engineers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development．These workers are able to successfully compete（竞争）globally and have seen an incrase in their pay．But for those who work in factories or in the aervice industry（at hotels，shops and restaurants），it has not been good．Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs．They will do the same job for less money．This decreases the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it．
Cultures have also been affected by globalization．Foods such as Japanese noodles，Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world．We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（汉字）in tattoos（文身）．Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean．Globalization also affects the film industry．Most people have seen American movies．But because of globalization，Korean．Indian and Japanese movies have become more wouldwide．
No one knows the future of globalization．Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future．
