小題1:根據(jù)He was born in 1912 in Seattle．Washington．可知第一段介紹了山崎實(shí)出生的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)，故此處為when, where
小題2:根據(jù)His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness．可知他的建筑給人一種和平和幸福的感覺，也就是使人感到和平和幸福。故此處為peaceful, happy
小題3:根據(jù)Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings．和He refused to change the design of his buildings，even if he lost a job．可知山崎實(shí)對(duì)他的建筑有很強(qiáng)大的觀點(diǎn)，即使失去工作，他也拒絕改變他的建筑的設(shè)計(jì)。故此處為He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.
小題4:got up 起床；started to draw the building開始畫大樓；that was in his dream and he still remembered“在他夢(mèng)里的，他仍記得的”這是一個(gè)定語從句修飾先行詞the building.故此句的意思為：他起床開始畫那棟夢(mèng)到的、他仍記得的大樓。
小題5:根據(jù)People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very longtime． 可知人們將長(zhǎng)久地欣賞他的設(shè)計(jì)和他的建筑，因此推測(cè)他以他的設(shè)計(jì)和建筑而出名。故此處為 He is famous for his design and buildings.

If we want to deal with the association (社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some "dos and don'ts" for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex (性別) in public instead of in secret.
Don't be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friend with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don't fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They  are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An apple won't taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love. 
小題1:The main idea of the passage is to _______. 
A．tell students to keep away from early love
B．give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C．tell students how to make friends
D．teach boys how to talk with girls
小題2:We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______. 
A．with a good state of mindB．in real friendship
C．in publicD．in secret
小題3:If you are a shy person, you can _______. 
A．find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B．only have a few friends of the same sex
C．not make friends with the other sex
D．not fall in love with other students easily
小題4:What does the underlined word "ditch" mean? 
A．波浪B．泥潭C．圈套D．迷惑
小題5:A person at adolescence is _______. 
A．complicated (復(fù)雜的) in feelings
B．good at making friends with each other
C．old enough to fall in love
D．easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.
That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments(國(guó)會(huì)) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders — they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America’s foreign policy(政策).
Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, email, Skype with people in the world.
So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders — experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”
小題1:Where did the speaker probably give the talk to the audience?
A．In a university.B．In the Parliament Hall.
C．On the Internet.D．In a tourist attraction.
小題2:The passage shows that the world’s future depends on       .
A．getting good gradesB．traveling abroad
C．connections among young peopleD．texts and emails
小題3:What is the meaning of the underlined word “compete” in Paragraph 3?
A．完成B．比較C．競(jìng)爭(zhēng)D．抱怨
小題4:In the speaker’s opinion, what is the key to success in our times?
A．Going to a university.B．Doing more exercises.
C．Studying abroad.D．Getting good test scores.
小題5:Where may the passage come from?
A．A story.B．A news report.
C．A scientific magazine.D．A speech.

I thought to myself:“Is father waiting for me．or is he still angry with me?”

閱讀短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.

A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students get passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, maths, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, clothes making and other classes. In some schools students are asked to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports --- especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, and photography and student government.
小題1:How many students are there in the typical American school?
小題2:What do they do first when they arrive at school?
小題3:What subjects must they study?
小題4:What do they do after school?
小題5:What can you learn about the American school life from the passage?
