What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (樂(lè)觀(guān)者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays (灰色) and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined (意志堅(jiān)定的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理學(xué)家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (愛(ài)好), and the effect (影響) that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
　　 A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful (開(kāi)心的) and more comfortable (舒服的) than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing (壓抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
　　 Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
小題1:According to this passage, _________.
A．one can choose his color preference　　
B．one is born with his color preference
C．one’s color preference is changeable
D．one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly

A．colors do have effect on our moods(情緒)
B．colors may have effect on our work and study
C．light and bright colors make people happy
D．you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike
小題3: The main idea of this passage is ________.
A．one’s color preference shows one’s character
B．you can brighten your life with wonderful colors
C．psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference
D．one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings
小題4: "I am feeling black" means ______.
A．I am feeling well 　　　　B．I am very happy 　　
C．I am excited 　　D．I am depressed

小題1:B
小題1:A
小題1:D
小題1:D

小題1:根據(jù)第一段If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.描述，可知對(duì)顏色的愛(ài)好是與生俱來(lái)的。故選B
小題1:根據(jù)短文描述，我們之所以主要注意顏色，是因?yàn)轭伾珜?duì)我們的情緒有影響，故選A
小題1:根據(jù)第一段At least this is what psychologists (心理學(xué)家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (愛(ài)好), and the effect (影響) that colors have on human beings.及下文描述，可知本文主要講的是一個(gè)人對(duì)顏色的偏好與他的性格有關(guān)及顏色對(duì)人類(lèi)的影響。故選D

Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷縮), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help.

“My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away.” Some teens feel their    3   is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety.

“I don’t want to    7   any more” is something we hear, and suicide (自殺) calls are some of the hardest to    8  .

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn’t matter where you live-in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village-the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. are almost everywhere .We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
A recent report about noise and concentration(專(zhuān)心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
小題1:The best title for this passage is _______________.
A．Noisy LifeB．Background Noise
C．Disturbed Concentration D．Changeable Noise

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition(學(xué)會(huì)) of each new skill---the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is usual that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, other are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality (準(zhǔn)時(shí)) for meals. In general, the controls imposed (強(qiáng)加的) represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parent teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is not foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (說(shuō)教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
小題1: Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.
A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make him lose interest in learning new things
小題2:When children are learning new skills, parents should _________.
A．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B．not expect too much of them
C．a(chǎn)chieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D．create as many learning opportunities as possible
小題3:The second paragraph mainly tells us_________.
A．parents should be strict with their children
B．parents controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
小題4:In moral matters, parents should _________.
A．observe the rules themselves
B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D．satisfy their children’s needs

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)難).
There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) –bread, vegetables and other things – not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.
小題1:According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A．which has regular snowB．which is not well prepared for snow
C．for which snow is not a catastropheD．for which snow is a wonder
小題2:The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A．trafficB．communicationC．food suppliesD．service quality
小題3:After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A．shops have closed downB．people buy as much as they can
C．farmers can’t produce any moreD．people eat more vegetables in winter
小題4:The first reason why the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A．spreading salt is good enoughB．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used oftenD．the hospital is more important

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．
　 “Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby，especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．
　  Although anyone can do it，storm chasing is extremely dangerous．The power of a big storm  can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain．If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season．
　  Even then，storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．“Storm chasing is 95％driving，”says Daniel Lynch，who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．“Sometimes you
Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen，and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
　  However，for storm chasers，it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm，it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life，”says Jasper Morley．“Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth．”
小題1:For storm chasing，the first thing storm chasers do is to　　　 ．
A．head straight for the center of the storm　
B．get into the car for safety
C．wait patiently for the storm to develop
D．collect information about a coming storm
小題2:Beginners of storm chasing are advised　　　　
　 
A．not to drive in a heavy rain　B．to do it in an organized way
　		C．not to get too close to a stormD．to spend more time on it in summer
小題3:By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph，the author means that　　　
A．storm chasing costs a lot of money
B．storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C．storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
D．a(chǎn) storm presents the greatest show on Earth
小題4:What can we learn from the text?
