The flag showed the country to which the ship belonged. The Union Jack became the flag of Great Britain. Australias flag has the Union Jack in the top left hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross. They have kept this small part of Britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from Britain. Australias flag is the same color as the Union Jack-red, white and blue. The act of joining together is called a“ Union”. The Union Jack was the name of the flag made when England, Scotland and Ireland joined together to make one country. It all began in 1707 when England and Scotland joined together to become one nation. A flag was made using two crosses-one for the patron saint of each country. The word “patron” means protector. Many centuries before the English had taken St George as their patron saint, his emblem (标志) was a red cross on a white background. The Scottish patron saint was St Andrew. In memory of him, they used a white cross on a blue background. This cross was shaped like the letter “X”. The new flag was a mixture of both flags with two sets of crosses. When Ireland joined England and Scotland in 1800,another cross was added. St Patrichs cross of Ireland was red and also shaped like an “X”. All three flags now made up the Union Jack.21. The Union Jack is a kind of _ and contains _. A. flag; two crosses B. ship; four crosses C. flag; three crosses D. ship; three crosses22. Why does Australia have the Union Jack in its flag? A. Because Australians respect the English. B. Because people from Britain settled in Australia first. C. Because the Union Jack is colorful. D. Because people from Britain brought the Union Jack to Australia.23. Which of the following is not true? A. The emblem of the English was a red cross on a white background. B. The Scottish used a white cross on a blue background in memory of St Andrew. C. Australias flag is the same color as the Union Jack. D. The Irish used a red cross on a blue background in memory of St George.24. The colors of the flag of Great Britain now are _. A. red, white and blue B. white, yellow and blue C. red, white and black D. red, black and blueB Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasnt a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and desks, and people sat down while they ate. Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels. Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.25.

Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways C Tears ran down from my eyes as I saw the essay my high school English teacher had just handed back. A big F was written on top. I was hopeless . I was stupid！My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid. “Im the only one who doesnt know my ABCs！”I sobbed to mum. “Ill help，”she promised. Every day I sat with her，but to me，cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated，I would return to my bedroom and draw，filling the paper with houses，restaurants and offices. “When I grow up，I want my own store，”I told mum，pointing to my drawings. “Thats great！”she said，“but first you have to learn to read.” Later，I was diagnosed with dyslexia(失读症)So mum took me to a learning centre，where I was given reading exercises. But I still struggled. Finally，I graduated，but I was afraid of my reading skills. “Ill never get a job！”I cried to mum later again. “Dont focus on what you cant do，”she comforted.“Concentrate on what you can.” But what can I do？I wondered. Suddenly，I thought of the drawings Id made as a child and my dream of having my own store .I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years，I tried my hand at other businesses. Today，I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales. While Ill never be what my teachers might have wanted，I am a successon my own terms. The other day a student sent me a card，reading：You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A，I smiled.28Why did the author feel so ashamed at school? AHis teacher scolded him in class. BHis teacher refused to read his essay. CHis classmates looked down upon him.DHe failed to hand in his essay on time.29Which of the following best describes the authors feeling to his mother? ADoubtful. BGuilty. CGrateful. DAngry.30What do you know from the last paragraph? AThe authors success inspired a kid. BThe authors parents were proud of their child. CThe author set a good example to businessmen. DThe authors teacher must have felt ashamed.31Which of the following can match the text? ANo pains，no gains. BEvery man has his value.CNever too old to learn.DTwo heads are better than oneD People arent walking any moreif they can figure out a way to avoid it. I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasnt in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis. It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I racedand beata teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty. Such enterprises today are regarded by many middleaged persons as bad for the heart. But a wellknown British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercisethe most familiar and natural of all. It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car. The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people dont dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. I say that the green of forests is the minds best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.32. What is the national sickness? A. Walking too much. B. Driving cars too much. C. Travelling too much. D. Climbing stairs too much.33. What was life like when the author was young? A. People considered a tenhour walk as a hardship. B. People often walked 25 miles a day. C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty. D. People usually went around on foot. 34. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that_. A. middleaged people like getting back to nature B. walking in nature helps enrich ones mind C. people need regular exercise to keep fit D. going on foot prevents heart disease35. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6? A. To advise people to do outdoor activities. B. A ray of traffic light. C. A queue of cars. D. To encourage people to return to walking.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Job interviewing is important for all of us.
