Dear friends ,

I still remember my middle school life in Tianjin yet . I was then           1.         

in a school for students from Tibet . As we were all left home             2.         

at early age , we met lots of problems in our daily life . We                3.         

had to do the washing , cleaning and shopping by us . However ,          4.         

we seldom felt lonely or helplessly . We enjoyed our happy life .           5.         

At weekends , we would play basketball , swimming in the pool           6.         

or go for a picnic . We were living in a big family . We treat              7.         

each other as brothers and sisters . If any one of us had any              8.         

difficulty in our life and study , the other would help him out .             9.         

It has been five years when we graduated , but those memories           10.         

are as sweet as ever before .

Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures（文化）. The increasingly popular “ design museums ” that are opening today , however , perform quite a different role . Unlike most art museums , the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public . These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall .

  People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new

industrial technology . But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of excellently invented products . The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something , while the second tells you the success of a sale .

  One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the

exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled（困惑）. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-

produced products work and look as they do , and how design has improved the quality of our lives . Art museum exhibits , on the other hand , would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding .

  In recent years , several new design museums have opened their doors . Each of these

museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Design Museum , for example , shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins . The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums , and visitors may also sense the humorous（幽默的）part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life .

1. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they       .

A. show more technologically advanced products

C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors

D. often contain precious exhibits

4. The best title for this passage is       .

A. The forms of design museums

B. The exhibits of design museums

C. The nature of design museums

D. The choices open to design museums

Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year . The skies they fly in seem limitless-miles of empty space . But , with the number of flights increasing each year , this emptiness no longer exists . Researchers in the world of aviation（航空）are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers . And increasing collisions , occurring at or near an airport , have called attention to the need for more aids（辅助设备）to aviation control .

       People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety . A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air . Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation（导航）and other aids . Actually , suitable electronic equipment has long existed , and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off , fly any distance , and land , whatever the weather . Yet , there are two problems to be solved . The first is to get governments , airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids . The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements .

       But no matter how well the equipment works , operators of the equipment still play an important role . Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety . It is worth pointing our that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English , and the use of another language , in an international conversation , have led to two recent aircraft accidents . A new type of instrument（仪器）called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions . It would be particularly helpful near airports .

1 The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that       .

A. flying is no longer limited in the sky

B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control

C. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult

D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater

2 There is uncertainty about air safety because       .

A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers

B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough

C. suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet

D. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land

3 The underlined word “ collisions ” probably means      .

A. accidents in which two planes hit each other

B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers

C. quarrels among passengers

D. breakdowns of new types of instrument

4 It can be inferred from the passage that      .

A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety

B. there should be more companies to sell new safety aids

C. English should be used in an international conversation

D. understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved

With a good shopping position and the right amount（数量）of money , any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop . It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop . But the hours of work are very long-I was only doing a part-time job , but my boss put in a seventy-hour week ,besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books .

       The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life , however , is that while I was in it I lost my love of books . A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books , and that gives him a dislike for them . There was a time when I really did love books-loved the sight and smell and feel of them-if they were fifty or more years old , that is . Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds . There is a peculiar flavour（独特的味道）about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets , or out-of-date geography books . For occasional（偶尔的）reading-in your bath , for example , or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed-there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book .

       But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books . Seen in a mass . five or ten thousand at a time , books were dull and even a little tiresome . Nowadays I do buy one occasionally , but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow , and I never buy rubbish .

1 According to the passage ,       is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop .

A. an educated shop-owner                           B. a good position at a street corner

C. a regular journey out of the shop               D. the force of large chain-stores

2 The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because       .

A. he hated his job of selling books      

B. selling books was only a part-time job

C. the books in the shop gave him a dislike

D. he was unable to be honest about the books he sold

3 The books preferred by the author should be those       .

A. stories making readers sleepless           

B. valuable ones bought on sale

C. peculiar ones with great expectation        

D. geography ones from the eighteenth century

4 The author will only buy new books       .

A. if he feels dull and tired              

B. after he gives up his job as a bookseller

C. which are interesting but hard to borrow 

D. when he throws away old ones
