Mr. Scott worked in a middle school. He read a lot. He taught well and could answer all the questions his students asked. And they liked him very much. One Sunday morning, when he was dressing his son, Jimmy, the boy suddenly asked, “May I ask you a question, Dad?” “Of course you can,” answered Mr. Scott. “Are you sure that you can answer it?” “Certainly.” “Well,” said Jimmy, “Are there any holes in your socks?” “Holes?” Mr. Scott said in surprise. “It’s impossible.” “Look at them carefully, or you’ll be wrong!” Mr. Scott took off his socks and looked at them carefully but didn’t find anything wrong.
　　“No, there’s no hole in them,” said Mr. Scott. “I bought them only last week.” “How can you put your feet into them, then?” Little Jimmy said with a smile. At first Mr. Scott didn’t know what to say. After a while he began to laugh with a red face.
　　根據(jù)短文意思，將下列句子補充完整。每空一詞。
小題1:Mr. Scott was a ______________ in a middle school.
小題2:His son was too ______________ to dress himself.
小題3:Mr. Scott tried to find if there were _________________ in his socks.
小題4:In the end Mr. Scott realized that his son had played a _____________ on him.
小題5:From Jimmy’s joke we can say that he was a ___________________ boy.
小題1:teacher    小題1:young   小題1:holes 小題1: joke   
小題1:clever/bright/naughty/lovely/ cute

1. 根據(jù)Mr. Scott worked in a middle school及He taught well可知他在學校上班并教得好，故他是一個老師。
2. 由when he was dressing his son可知他給他的兒子穿衣服，故他的兒子太小不能自己穿衣，故為young。
3. 根據(jù)“No, there’s no hole in them,”可知他發(fā)了很久沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)襪子上有洞，考慮到前面用的were，故為holes。
4. 從下文可知他的兒子是給他開玩笑，因為他兒子說他的襪子有個大洞，不能怎么穿進去，很明顯是個笑話，故為joke。
5. 推測題。從整個文章來看，他兒子這么問他爸爸，其實是個玩笑，故他很聰明，我們也可以說他很可愛等等。

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。
Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring.
As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎媽戰(zhàn)歌) . tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child’s potential( 潛力) and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they’re pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really pussycats. They care more about their children’s self-esteem (自尊). They don’t want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.
小題1:What’s the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua’s idea on children’s education? (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題)
______________________________________________________________________________
小題2: How did Amy Chua’s kids become successful? (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容列舉兩條)

小題3:Why are most Asian mothers tigers? (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題)

THE KING’S SPEECH---OSCAR    WINNER
A lot of stories are about friendship and courage. They have been told in many different ways. It is just something that people need to be told from time to time that perhaps people would grow bored of it. Well, director Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech,a historical movie about the British royal family, won the Oscar on 27th, February, 2011. The movie tells about the true story of a King George VI and it also tells the story of a friendship between the king and his doctor. They find something special about the word “courage”.
Just as the name of the movie, the story was simple but moving. Maybe The King’s Speech is just an ordinary story, though it won the Oscar. Throughout the honored movies in Oscar’s these years, it’s not difficult to find out that they seldom follow a traditional Hollywood way. The traditional way of Hollywood means shiny actors, famous director, a lot of money, 3D technology or something else.
With the development of technology, our native movies prefer to follow the traditional Hollywood way. But the results were the decrease of the good comments(評論). What can we learn from that? The standard(標準) for a good movie is not how well- known the actor is, how famous the director is, or how eye-catching the usage of the special skills are, but the connotation(內(nèi)涵) or the theme the movie includes!
小題1:Is The King’s Speech about friendship and courage?
小題2: When did The King’s Speech win the Oscar?
小題3: What does the traditional way of Hollywood mean?
小題4:Which is more important to a good movie, famous actor or the theme the movie includes?
小題5: What is the passage mainly about?

Homework is a big part of going to school. Unluckily, homework has to be done outside class—during times when you would probably much rather be doing something else, for example, you like going to a birthday party instead of copying out a whole Chinese text. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work
First, be sure you understand the task. Write it down in your notebook if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what’s expected. If you want, you can also ask how long the special homework task should take to finish, so you can plan your time.
Second, use any small pieces of time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have study halls that allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school means the less you’ll have to do that night.
What if you don’t have time in school to get homework done? You’ll need to think about how much homework you have for a given night and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most high school students have more than two hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you got a task in every subject but gym and lunch, you’ll need to spend more time on homework. It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework timetable, especially if you enjoy sports or activities or have an after-school job.
小題1:Is homework a big part of going to school?
小題2:What do students like doing outside class?
小題3:Where can students study or do their homework in school?
小題4:How long do most high school students spend on their homework a night?
小題5:What advice does the writer give students on homework in the passage?

　　Passage E
Sending E-cards on the Internet
　　The Internet has changed our habits, including our habit of sending greeting cards. There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.
　　Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time . These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain (包括)plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That’s why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the Internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.
　　Another benefit(好處) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for us to send top quality cards to our beloved(心愛的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow us to send our greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So we can plan for the occasion(場合) when we want to send the card. For example, we can send our e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象) on the person we love.
　　We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e-cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.
　　Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.

We are always using body language in our daily life．When we have a conversation with someone，we may be using more body language than words．However，the same body language may mean different things in different countries．That’s why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly．Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures．
For example，in the U．S．A．people point to their heads when they think someone is clever．However，in Europe it means“He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head．”
In our Chinese culture，nodding our head up and down means“yes”and shaking our head from side to side means“no”．However，in parts of India，Greece and Turkey，it means just the opposite．
In England or the U．S．A．，when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb(拇指)and the second finger，it means“You’re all right or everything is OK．”However，if we do this in France or Belgium，it means“You’re worth zero．”In Greece or Turkey，we should not make this gesture，or we will be thought to be very rude．
The meaning of gestures can also change over time．In the 1960s，the V sign meant“peace”．However，during World War Ⅱ，it meant“victory”．In Greece，it is a very insulting (污辱性)sign．
Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning all over the world, such as smiling and crying．   
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容．用簡潔的句子或短語完成下列表格。
