阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident , my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day . But the next day , he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done . I was astonished . He had good reason to charge me , he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury , Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor , it was only fair that I should pay him .But every time I went to see the doctor , I had to wait about 50 minutes . He would see two or three patients at the same time ,and often stop treating one so as to see another . Yet he charged me $115 each time . The final examination report consisted of ten lines , and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met . But after that he avoided seeing me at all . He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident , yet he hardly did anything . He simply waited to collect his money . He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him . And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America . Knowing that ,they played for time, and I left without getting a cent. My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything . It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality . Secondly ,foreigners are still being unfairly treated.

That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale. The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告)in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight-like tired guests at a party-waiting for someone to take them home. Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called “white elephants”. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy. Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or painting of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating(谈判) over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard to sell all the things they have bought.6. What kind of things will go to a yard sale? A. Cheap and ugly things. B. Things people no longer use.C. Things out of season. D. Things of great value.7. A white elephant refers to _.A. something that can cause a feeling of pain B. something disliked by the owners while appreciated by othersC. something sold at the lowest pricesD. a toy shaped like a fish 8. Most people go to yard sales to_.A. find valuable paintings B. look for something specialC. find a bargain D. kill their time9. Which of the following is NOT true about a yard sale?A. It may not be held when the weather is very cold.B. It can last for a whole day. C. It is usually held with a party.D. It is held outdoors.10. We can infer from the last paragraph that_.A. people may find something of great value on a yard saleB. yard sales only attract those who have a low incomeC. things on a yard sale can cost people a lotD. most people dont want to go to yard sales.【参考答案】610、BBCCA 阅读理解。 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(机敏的),”he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.11. The main subject talked about in this passage is_.A. science on learning a second language B. language can help brain powerC. mans ability of learning a second language D. language learning and maths study12. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_.A. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work wellB. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a languageC. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD. say language is also a kind of physical labor13. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means_.A. a researcher on language learningB. an English native speakerC. an active language learnerD. a person who can speak two languages14. We may know from the scientific findings that_.A. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the timeB. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brainD. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is15. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that_.A. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjectsB. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language【参考答案】1115、BADDA 短文改错。假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线(划掉。修改：在错的词下划一个横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。留意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。What should you do when your parents become angrily?
