This week in Lifestyle we have two very different views on city life compared to life in a small town. Mike Larson lives in a 1 town and he thinks the way of life there is much better than that in a big city. In Mike's opinion,a small town is 2 ,and it has a clean and safe environment,especially for children.

People 3 very friendly and there aren’t so many problems with dangerous people as there are in the city. And of course,the houses in a small town are 4 expensive than those in a big city.

   But Mike says there are some bad things 5 living in a small town. There aren’t enough things for young people 6 and there aren’t many shops. Public environment isn’t very good,7 . The school in his town isn't big enough to give his children everything they 8 ,and there isn’t a hospital. But Mike says ,“I enjoy 9 in a small town and I'm too old to move anyway. ”

   Cathy Ramos,on the other hand,says the city is the place for her. The city has the best 10 like very good schools and hospitals. It also has great shopping centers and large stores where you can buy 11 you want. There's also 12 transport： buses and taxis,and the airport is near the city.

   Cathy says 13 there are problems in a big city. It's so busy and there are too many 14 on the road and it's definitely more expensive than a small town. There's more danger,and it isn’t as 15 as the country.[2013湖北恩施]

閱讀提示:本文通過兩個(gè)人的所言，列舉了城鎮(zhèn)與城市的不同，并說 出了各自的利弊。

1. A由前句提示和后句中a small town提示，此處表示Mike住在 一個(gè)小的城鎮(zhèn)里。

2. C由and后的clean and safe提示，此處應(yīng)該是表示環(huán)境好，故排 除noise,且跟在系動(dòng)詞is后，要用形容詞。故選C項(xiàng)。

3. D 由空后 there aren’t so many problems with dangerous people... “沒有如此多的危險(xiǎn)人物問題”可知，此處應(yīng)該是突出“人們友好”。 故用are。

4. B結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，城鎮(zhèn)的房子應(yīng)該是不如大城市的房子貴。故用 less。

5. B由后文舉例說明城鎮(zhèn)的不足可知，此處表示關(guān)于住在小城鎮(zhèn)的 不利方面。故用about。

6. A此處表示“要做的事”，是to do不定式做定語，故選A項(xiàng)。

7. B當(dāng)表示“也”時(shí):too用于肯定句句末,用逗號(hào)隔開;either.用于 否定句句末，用逗號(hào)隔開;also多用于動(dòng)詞前;as well相當(dāng)于also 和too,用于句末但無需用逗號(hào)隔開。故選B項(xiàng)。

8. D由前句“城鎮(zhèn)不夠大”可提示，此處表示不能滿足孩子們的所 需。故選D項(xiàng)。

9. C enjoy+doing “喜歡做某事”,故用C項(xiàng)。

10. C 由…like very good schools and hospitals 舉例“像好的學(xué)校、 醫(yī)院�！笨芍�，此處是說有好的服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)。故選C項(xiàng)。

11. D由句子前半句“城市有好的購(gòu)物中心和大商店”可知，應(yīng)該是 能買到任何所需的東西。故用anything“任何東西”。

12. A表示“許多”的短語常有:plenty of/ a lot of…，故選A項(xiàng)。

13. D上段說明了城市的好處，由后句列舉城市繁忙、房?jī)r(jià)高可知， 此段在說城市“當(dāng)然”也存在不足，且做狀語，故用D項(xiàng)。

14. C在路上的應(yīng)該是汽車，故用C項(xiàng)。

15. A城市與農(nóng)村相比較，應(yīng)該不如農(nóng)村“干凈”，且as…as中間加 原級(jí)，故用A項(xiàng)。

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)要求完成下列各題。

   Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories,he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.

   Born in 1881 to a wealthy family,Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893,however,his grandfather,a senior government official,was put into prison for taking money. At the same time,his father became badly ill. From then on,his family was no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

   By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899,he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There he began writing articles for several Chinese students magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books,although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.

   After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing,Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918,he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success. This,together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921) , made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

   Although successful,Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future. In 1927,he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this,the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He had to write his articles using false names.

   Since his death in 1936,Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown. Today,many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.[2013 廣東廣州改編]

1. What greatly influenced Lu Xun's writing according to the passage?

2. According to the passage,why was Lu Xun^ story Diary of a Madman so popular?

3. What does the underlined word “This” mean?

4. What did Lu Xun mainly write after moving to Shanghai?

   Astronomers working at Berkeley and Geneva have found nine new planets circling nearby stars. With this discovery,we now know of 50 extra-solar planets,also called exoplanets. That is a big increase from 41 planets last known five years ago.

   All these individual (單個(gè)的) planets move in an orbit around a star,which is called their parent star. The astronomers estimate that the Beta Pictoris star (繪架座(3 星) has a planet ten times the mass of Earth. It orbits (環(huán)繞軌道運(yùn)行) at a distance of about 10. 5 billion kilometers,more than ten times the distance of the earth from the sun. And Vega (織女星) ，one of the brightest stars in the sky appears to have a planet twice the mass of Jupiter (木星) ，the largest planet in our solar system. This planet is 8 billion kilometers from its parent star. In comparison,our solar system seems almost tiny. The distance between Pluto (冥王星) ，the farthest planet in our solar system and the sun is “just” 5. 9  billion kilometers!

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題。

1. With this discovery,how many extra-solar planets are discovered?

2. Is Vega the only one brightest star in the sky?

3. Which planet is the largest in our solar system?

4. Which planet is the farthest planet in the solar system?

  Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives,forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad,you are to know some table manners. 

   EATING MANNERS

   Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises,slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.

   Russia： Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating,fork in left hand,and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.

   France： Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.

   Mexico： Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating,even a stranger,it’s good manners to say “provecho”，which means enjoy. In Mexico,dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion —lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated,look for place cards,or wait until the host seats you. And you must say “enjoy your meal” before you leave the table.

   DRINKING MANNERS 

   America: If you empty a bottle into someone's glass,it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass.

   Australia: In a pub,it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it's your turn,say “It's my round”. When it's their round,they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.

   Japan: Don’t fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead,you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.(江蘇省連云港市2013年中考)
