The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps (撞) into Julia Roberts and spills (灑) orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”
His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.
A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.
Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.
How we use “sorry” has changed. Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation(沖突). For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”.
True manners are about being considerate and the modern day obsession with apologizing show that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing…
小題1:What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．In fact Roberts are responsible for the collision.
B．People from the US say “sorry” more than British people.
C．There is no crash happening in the film.
D．British people say sorry even if it is not their fault.
小題2:Which of the following might Mark Tyrell agree to?
A．British people are sincere while saying sorry.
B．Now more British people say sorry because of the British class system.
C．British people say sorry to avoid quarrels.
D．British people apologize for not working hard.
小題3:What does the author want to tell us with the passage?
A．British people overuse “sorry” in daily life.
B．British people now say “sorry” in different situations.
C．Middle classes in British are to blame for not being working class.
D．Britons say “sorry” to avoid confrontation.
小題4:What does the underlined word “collision” in the first paragraph mean?
A．quarrelB．disagreementC．crashD．fight

For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “ We can do without railways.” People say…as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying .But this is far from the truth: in these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you up as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams, and a single train carry goods which a plane or a motorcar could never do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorcars we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason..
小題1:Some people think the railways are unnecessary for many reasons except that       .
A．planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains
B．oil is expensive today
C．trains are slow
D．railways lose money
小題2:According to the writer, which of the following is Not true?
A．It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.
B．The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C．When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D．No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does.
小題3:The writer thinks that the railways, far from being dead, are very much alive because      .
A．we can have a smooth and untroubled journey
B．we’ll not have enough money to fly in planes
C．we can now travel in super-fast train
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題4:The best title for this passage may be”        ”
A．Not the End but the Beginning
B．Which is the Best: Train, Motorcar or Plane
C．Trains are More Competitive than Motorcars or Planes
D．Oh, Super-fast Trains

Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery(彩票) tickets. The tickets cost only $0.9each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot(積累獎金) in history。

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.
There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride.
Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.
Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.
Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）. You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really high, and the farther you go, the higher they are. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy（經(jīng)濟(jì)）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home.  Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.
小題1:For what purpose is the text written?
A．To introduce the general information of staycatons.
B．To compare staycatons with other vacations.
C．To persuade more people to have staycations.
D．To provide different ways of staycations.
小題2:What is one of the advantages of a staycation?
A．The economy in other cities is also improved.
B．People spend nothing when staying at home.
C．You can visit local attractions for free.
D．There is no stress from traveling.
小題3:What does the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 5 probably means?
A．includedB．removed
C．coveredD．raised
小題4:What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?
A．When to take a staycation.B．What disadvantages a staycation has.
C．Why people prefer a staycation.D．How to have a staycation safely.

Americans are thinking about national education standards recently developed by teachers and other education experts. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.
　　The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to each state.
Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.
Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act.
　　Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.
　　Forty--eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states refuse to accept the idea. Critics say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal control.
　　Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify (取得資格) for some federal grant money.
小題1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Local Control of Education Standards out of Date
B．American National Education Standards under Consideration
C．Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad.
D．Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States
小題2:Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today?
A．Because local standards are limited.
B．Because it is required by the federal government.
C．Because people today moves among states more often than before.
D．Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country.
小題3:Some people are against the nationa1 education standards because__________
A．the standards are higher than those of each state
B．they are not yet prepared for the new standards
C．the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence
D．they don't want the federal government to train their teachers
小題4:If a state agrees to accept the national standards, it will probably get ________.
A．more studentsB．a(chǎn)dvice on how to improve teaching
C．better textbooksD．money from the federal government

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商業(yè)廣告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas. “Only when you have fallen asleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, can you get separated from the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
As for the ride itself, the beginning of it is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things are keeping changing out of the windows — various houses, crop fields, attractive bridges, … and sometimes even a small accident. Your bus driver may have a unique style of driving and it’s fun trying experience it the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (魯莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (驚心動魄的) as an adventurous story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know the riding will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement with that. The seat, of course, has become harder for the hours having passed. By now you may sit with your legs crossed, or with your hands in your lap, or with your hands on the arms, or even with your hands crossed behind your head. That is to say that the end comes just at no more ways to sit.
小題1:According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A．Buses on the road.B．Films on television.
C．Advertisements on the billboards.D．Gas stations.
小題2:What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
B．To persuade you to take some long bus riding.
C．To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.
D．To describe the billboards along the road.
小題3:The writer of this passage would probably prefer ______.
A．those reckless bus drivers
B．driving with no one around
C．a(chǎn) television set on the bus
D．no billboards along the road
小題4:The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ______.
A．the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
B．they both have a beginning, a middle and an end, with commercials in between
C．the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
D．both traveling by bus itself and watching TV programs on bus are not exciting.

Today is National Bike-to-Work Day. And on New York City’s jammed streets, people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes. But New York’s widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars.
When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal（用踏板踩）his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane.
Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it’s possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around. This is what 21st century New York City looks like.
Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic.
Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way.
Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own.
Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a full street and you’re shrinking it.
Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate.
Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think, more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals.
小題1:What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21st century New York City looks like.”? 
A．There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 st century New York City.
B．Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York.
C．Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 st century New York City.
D．It’s possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York.
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes?   
A．Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars.
B．The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents.
C．We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before.
D．The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority of New Yorkers.
小題3:“A mandate” in Paragraph 8 was referred to a demand or command from ______.
A．the authorityB．the publicC．the supporters D．the government
小題4:What of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Ride on National Bike-to-Work DayB．A New Bike Lane Appears in New York
C．A Bike Lane Divides New YorkersD．Who Wins an Election
