IV. Reading comprehension.
( A )
Beefeaters eat beef, right? Wrong! This is a
special name for the soldiers that stood guard outside the Tower of London.
This place used to be the home of the kings and queens of England. The
Beefeaters are still there now but only as tour guides!
Some people think they got the name
"Beefeater" because they were fed very well to prepare them for war.
The name is probably from the French word "Boufitirs", the name for
the guards in the home of French kings. They protected the king's food. So the
name "Beefeater" may have nothing to do with eating beef at all!
Beefeaters were the
bodyguards of King Henry VII of England from 1485. Even when the king no longer
lived at the tower the bodyguards stayed there. They have been there ever
since!
The Beefeaters have
very colourful clothes that have not changed since 1552. Beefeaters wear a red
jacket, red trousers and stockings and a special hat.
Today Beefeaters are
no longer bodyguards. They take people on tours around the Tower of London
instead. There are 36 and they are all old soldiers. It is difficult to become
a Beefeater. They are very friendly and helpful men and know a lot of
information about the history of London. People like to have their photograph
taken with a Beefeater. It's a fun way to remember London!
56.Beefeaters
were ____.
A. people who enjoyed eating beef B.
cooks who made delicious beef dishes
C. soldiers who guarded the Tower of London
D. tour guides who worked outside the Tower of London
57.By saying "So the name
"Beefeater" may have nothing to do with eating beef at all!",
the author implies (暗示) ____ .
A. Beefeaters are fond of beef. B.
Beefeaters never eat beef.
C. Beefeaters are good at cooking beef. D.
Beefeaters may not eat beef.
58.It can be inferred（推测）
from the story that ____ .
A. only friendly people can become beefeaters.
B.
Beefeaters must be strong.
C. Beefeaters are very well fed.
D. Beefeaters are always prepared for war.
( B )
It's time to pack your bags and get ready to go on a
summer holiday! Ever thought about what Europeans (欧洲人) do for their holiday? Maybe travel to other
countries, visit friends and family? Well, they do all of these!
Most people in Europe
get about three or four weeks of paid holiday time a year. So lots of people
choose to go away in the summer when the weather is good.
In Sweden, many
companies close down for the whole of July and nearly everyone takes their
holiday then! It's common for many Swedish (瑞典的) families to go and stay in their second home, often in a forest or by the
sea. Italians like to go to the coast (海岸) or go walking in the hills and eat special food.
Some British people
like to go to the seaside when the weather is good. The Queen's birthday is
really in rainy April but she celebrates it in June when the weather is better!
Most British people like to go abroad to places like sunny Spain and France
where it's hotter.
Europeans often travel
abroad for their holiday now because it's cheap and easy. The EU (欧盟) makes it easy for Europeans to travel. They don't
even need a passport (护照) to get from one European country to another!
Lots of Europeans like
to buy “package holidays”. This means they can get their flight, hotel and even
their food all included for a very cheap price. Lots of families also like to
go camping too..
59. What's the main reason that Europeans like to travel in the summer?
A. They have lots of money to spend. B.
They enjoy sightseeing.
C. They have paid
holidays. D.
They don't like their homes.

second homes?

to make money by selling them.

really like sunny weather. B.
British people like to change their birthdays.
C. British people
usually have two birthdays.
D. British people feel proud of their Queen.

News 1: A gas explosion (瓦斯爆炸) happened on October 20 in a coal mine (煤矿)in Daping, Henan. It h as killed 129 people so far.
Another 19 are still missing. More than 400 workers were at the mine at the
time. Only 298 ran out.
News 2: Scientists
have found some caves (洞穴) in the north part of the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) of Dunhuang in Gansu. Now the north part has 248

make Mogao Grottoes from 366 AD. Pictures in the caves show what people's lives
were like in the past.
New 3: Are girls
cleverer than boys? Maybe. In a new study, scientists found that female chimps
used sticks two years earlier than male chimps in Africa. Female chimps watched
their mums look for food. The males climbed trees. The same thing also happens
in the world of people. Girls learn to write and draw before boys, while boys

Is human blood all the same? "Yes," you may
say. "It's all red."
Well, it's not as simple as you might think.
Blood is made up of different parts, such as red blood
cells (细胞), white blood cells, and platelets (血小板).
Two chemical molecules (分子) on the red blood cells make people's blood
different. Scientists mark one molecule "A" and the other molecule
"B".
According to which and how many molecules are on the
red cell, scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB and O.
Your blood type will stay the same your whole life.
Scientists have been wondering if there are some links
between people's blood type and their personalities but they don't know for
sure yet.
But some say that people with the same blood type may
have things in common.
What's your blood type? Do you have family members or
friends who are the same type as you? Read the following. Are you like this?
People with type A: They look peaceful from the
outside. But they ask too much of themselves that they may be very nervous
inside. They get happy or sad easily. Sometimes they are shy but always very
careful. They can easily win people's trust.
People with type B: They have strong minds. Once they
start a task, they don't give up easily. They'll try their best to finish it
and do it well. Type B people always try to make themselves different from
others. They want to do things their own way in life.
People with type AB: They are maybe the strangest
among all blood types. They can be both open and shy, noisy and quiet at the
same time! They are responsible (负责的) and always ready to help others.
People with type O: They're open and good at making
friends. They always start tasks but don't always finish them. They have lots
of new ideas and love to be the centre of attention. They always strongly
believe in themselves.
67.What's
the main subject of this passage?
A. blood types B.
blood types and personalities
C. personalities D.
scientific research on blood
68.The
blood types are decided by ____.
A. the kind and amount of molecules on the red cell

( E )
A friend of mine named Paul
received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas
Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street uirchin (玩童) was walking around the shining
car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes,
my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your
brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…”He hesitated.(犹豫)
Of course Paul knew
what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that.
But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went
on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise,
then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love
that.”
After a short ride,
the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving
in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little.
He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that
he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where
those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the
steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming
fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the
car.
“There she is, Buddy,
just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it
didn’t cost him a cent(美分) And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then
you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve
been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and
lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother
climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday
ride.
