試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了在當(dāng)今社會(huì)，在國外旅游是昂貴的，那么如何在英國能花費(fèi)較少的錢旅行呢。作者就這一點(diǎn)給出了幾點(diǎn)建議。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段Many places, such as large houses and castles(城堡)are closed in winter.許多的地方例如大房子和城堡在冬天是關(guān)閉的，所以想要參觀城堡冬天去不是個(gè)好時(shí)節(jié)，故選B
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Of course  you can go there in winter, but it is often dark by 4 pm.描述，冬天4點(diǎn)之前就會(huì)黑，可知冬天的天短，所以B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，故選B
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段With the card, you can save a lot of money.有卡會(huì)節(jié)約錢，相反沒有卡會(huì)花更多的錢，故選C

There are a lot of kinds of folk music in China, because China has 56 nationalities and every group has its own style of music. There is a lot of poetry(詩意) in Chinese folk songs, including ideas, feelings and images. But in pop songs, there is no poetry. Each Chinese folk song has its own personality, for example,“Jasmine(茉莉花)”, “Dancing of Youth(青春舞曲)” or “My youth has gone away like a bird and never comes back.”
Folk songs are from the people. Folk songs are like a way of serving the people, although folk songs express the feelings of the people. Chinese folk songs express the feelings, the emotions and the hopes of people about being in love or how hard it is.
“The more national, the more international.”In order to spread Chinese folk music, a forum(論壇) of folk songs called“Nanning International Festival of Folk Songs Art”is held every year. Chinese and overseas art groups and artists often perform at the opening ceremony, such as Chinese minority singers—Han Hong, Teng Ge’er and A Lilang. The more widely it spreads, the more attention the music attracts.
小題1:判斷正（T）誤（F）。
The folk songs only express the feeling of the people.
小題2: 根據(jù)短文完成句子。
There is a lot of poetry in Chinese folk songs, including ______, ______ and ______.
小題3:將文中劃線部分譯成中文。

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to make such a car-plane called “Transition”, to customers(顧客) by the end of 2012. “It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle,”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still needed to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as an easier and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you leave it in the car park at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum take-off weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be something else you need to pay, like a radio, transponder or GPS and so on.
So far, the company has more than 70 orders. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.
小題1:We can learn from the first paragraph that _________.
A．car-planes will be popular in 2012
B．people might drive a car-plane in 2012
C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B．A car-plane with radio and GPS will cost $194,000
C．The car-plane may fly at 8,000 feet
D．People can park the car-plane in the car park at their home.
小題3:Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “unfold” on this passage?
A．startB．spreadC．coverD．travel
小題4:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Cars With Wings May come true soon
B．A Ferrari or a Car Plane
C．A Easier and Cheaper Way to Fly
D．Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes

A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end many parents’ worries fearful for their children’s safety on the roads. 
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will attend their nearest school.
The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school . But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60% parents have said they would like their children to take part . Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to  Impington . The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in had asked if transport could be provided for their children to see if they would like to take part in the new plan. 
小題1:What is the aim(目的) of the plan?

小題3:Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out? 
A．The bus company will make much more money
B．The children can choose whatever school they like
C．The parents can get rid of their worries
D．The students in Impington School can have free bus rides

Singapore, July 12－many people enjoy chewing(咀嚼) gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it against the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead, they dropped it on sidewalks and on the streets where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck in the doors of the underground trains so that the doors didn’t close properly. This meant the trains didn’t run on time. Singapore said that people had to give up chewing gum or pay a lot of money to the government. During the time without chewing gum, the streets and underground trains of Singapore were clean.
Now the government of Singapore is changing the rules a little. Some dentists say that chewing sugarless gum can help take care of people’s teeth. Now the government says that people will be able to buy special kinds of gum at drugstores for health reasons. Other kinds of gum are still not allowed.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 判斷正 (T)誤(F)。

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different.  But what are the differences?
Hu Peng and his four friends decided to find them out.  Earlier this month, they went to live for a week at Huagui Village near Xishui.  They went door to door there and asked kids there lots of questions.  They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked questions like these: Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief comes into your houses? They also asked 150 city kids the same question.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class.  They told about lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages.  The biggest difference is independence.  Hu’s team say that more than 60 percent of city kids can’t do much housework, but more than 80 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time to wash clothes or make their beds.  Village kids said they helped their parents with a lot: they cook, clean houses and feed farm animals, Hu’s team also saw that village kids had less pocket money.  Many never use computers.  They play in rivers or on mountains.  Some don’t really like to make new friends.
Hu’s team said their trip gave them more self-confidence(自信心) because they were doing something by them-selves.  But it also worried them a bit because they saw they still had a lot to learn.  “When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us,” Hu said.  “We have to learn to take care of ourselves. ”
