It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生產(chǎn)商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left. Considering most of the world’s population—men and women—are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
小題1:What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A．It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B．It fails to consider right-handed people.
C．It woks better with men than with women.
D．It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.
小題2:What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?
A．They tended to wear clothes without buttons.
B．They drew their swords from the left.
C．They were mostly dressed by servants.
D．They were interested in the historical matters.
小題3:Women’s clothes still button from the left today because        .
A．a(chǎn)dopting men’s style is improper for women
B．manufacturers should follow standards
C．customs are hard to change
D．modern women dress themselves
小題4:The passage is mainly developed by          .
A．examining differencesB．making comparisons
C．a(chǎn)nalyzing causesD．following the time order

I have nothing to say about whether or not "A Day Without Immigrants" had a positive or negative effect on the question of how the federal government should deal with the huge population of undocumented illegal immigrants in this country. I'll leave that question to others.
Regardless of how you feel about the event, one conclusion is obvious. Using the theme of" A Day Without" as a way to focus national attention on a particular subject is a great idea, and could serve as a method for increasing public awareness about other issues that affect daily life in America. Here are my top three examples:
"A Day Without Speeding." How hard could this be? If all drivers would strictly obey every posted speed limit on highways, downtown, on neighborhood streets, and in parking lots for one 24-hour cycle, the benefits would be huge.
"A Day Without Losing Your Temper." A higher degree of difficulty here, and I know that from personal experience. When something goes wrong at home or on the job, there may be brief satisfaction in yelling or kicking the furniture, but erupting with anger usually doesn't do anything to solve the problem, and in many cases it makes the situation more unpleasant.
"A Day Without Having All The Answers." I would like to get a break from hearing anyone speak the phrase, "Here's what you're doing wrong." Right now the US is jampacked with citizens who believe they can point out the cause of every single problem in existence and then solve it on the spot. I believe they need to be quiet sometimes and use their ears instead of their voices.
I wonder how would average Americans react to such a collective pause? Would it be a day of angry protests, or joyful celebrations?
小題1:The first paragraph suggests           .
A．the writer is against A Day Without Immigrants
B．immigrants are not equally treated by the US federal government
C．the writer cares little about the problems of the country.
D．some people move to America without the permission of the US government
小題2:"The event" in the second paragraph is related to          .
A．"A Day Without Immigrants"
B．"A Day Without Having All The Answers"
C．"A Day Without Speeding"
D．"A Day Without Losing Your Temper"
小題3:According to the writer, losing one's temper is           .
A．personalB．satisfying C．pointlessD．unpleasant
小題4:The writer suggest a day without having all the answers because         .
A．he thinks the American are too proud
B．he doesn't think what he is doing is wrong
C．he wants others to keep quiet
D．the writer is so tired that he needs a break

British English and American English are almost the same. But there are slight differences between British and American English in vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling and grammar.
The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same. Only a very small number of words are used disparately. For example, Americans would say “apartment”, but the British would say “flat” to talk about the place where they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic（慣用的）expressions are different. In England people might say “I’ll ring you up tonight”, but in the US, people might say “I’ll call you up tonight”.
The second difference between British and American English is in Pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation concerns the vowels（元音）. Some American dialects and some British dialects use vowels in different ways. Sometimes, Americans and the British don’t understand each other’s pronunciation. But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each other’s pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same.
The third difference is very small. This is the difference in spelling. A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like “center”. In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R. Another example is “or” vs “our”. The word “color”is spelled C-O-L-O-U-R in Britain but C-O-L-O-R in the US.
There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British may say “Have you got..?” while Americans prefer “Do you have..?” An American might say “my friend just arrived”, but a British would say “my friend has just arrived”. Sometimes function words are used differently: the British may say “at the weekend”, but Americans would say “on the weekend”.
小題1:What is this passage mainly about?
A．The development of American English
B．Differences between British and American English
C．The influences of British English on American English
D．The causes of the differences between British and American English
小題2:What does the underlined word “disparately” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．FrequentlyB．RegularlyC．EventuallyD．Differently
小題3:According to Paragraph 3, Americans and the British may find it hard to understand each other because of       .
A．the different ways of using vowels
B．the different idiomatic expressions they use
C．the differences in grammar
D．the differences in spelling
小題4:Which of the following words probably belong to the American English vocabulary?
a. flavour    b. theater   c. humor   d. centre   e. kilometer   f. honour     g. color
A．a(chǎn)bceB．bcdeC．bcegD．defg
小題5:Which of the following sentences is most probably used by Americans?
A．I’ll learn with you at the weekend
B．Have you got a dictionary?
C．I’ll ring her up tonight.

In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn’t it often the same in schools of our real world?
“It’s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams,” said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school’s sports club and a winner in national English and IT competitions.
But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?
In Sun Yunxiao’s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is “more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read.” Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day.
This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.
“Let’s look at what we ask of our teenage girls,” says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it’s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection.
Today’s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars. “Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect.” Stephen Hinshaw sums up.
小題1:The passage suggests that               .
A．our society asks far too much of teenage girls
B．teenage girls shouldn’t be so perfect at school
C．boys are always lazy ones rather than girls
D．American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls
小題2: According to the passage, it is true that               .
A．boys are less smart than girls throughout school life
B．boys usually don’t have so much pressure as girls do
C．girls are all fond of the Chinese education system
D．girls are better at school because boys don’t work hard
小題3:The underlined word “outperform” means               .
A．hateB．misunderstandC．likeD．defeat
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Impossibly Perfect Is Possible．B．Why Are Girls So Perfect?
C．Perfect? Pressure Every Day!D．Perfect: Boys or Girls?

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself”（DIY）trend in the US continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $520. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
小題1:We can learn from the text that many newly married people__________.
A．find it hard to pay for what they need
B．have to learn to make their own furniture
C．take DIY courses run by the government
D．seldom go to a department store to buy things
小題2:John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to __________.
