My topic today is “Early Money”. Im going to tell you something about money used in the early days. To be honest， we know little about how early people came to use money， but we do know some of the things that have been used as money. In early times in some European countries， salt was difficult to get. It was used as money. In some parts of Asia， tea was used for money. The American Indians used nuts and other things. Perhaps the most mon money of all was an animal of some kind. In some places today， cows are still used as a kind of money. So you see， things highly valued by everybody may serve as money. The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money.18Which of the following might have been used as money by early Japanese according to the speech?A. Tea. B. Salt.C. Nuts.答案：A19Why does the animal of some kind serve as money?A. Maybe because they are lowly valued by everyone.B. Maybe because they are highly valued by everyone.C. Maybe because they are difficult to get.答案：B20Who were the first people to use coins as money?A. European. B. American Indians.C. Chinese.答案：C第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AMy name is Cherry Carl, and I retired in June, 2003, after 35 years as a teacher and Language Arts Specialist in Santee, California. However, I continued my role as an instructor at the University of California, San Diego, in the Reading Specialist Certification Program until June, 2009. I wasnt ready to retire. Teaching is in my blood! (My mother always reminded me that when I was little, I dragged the neighborhood kids in to play school whether they wanted to or not！) I still have the strong desire to make a difference for teachers, parents, and students. Im passionate about the joy of knowing how to read and write and want every child to have the experience of closing a book with a sigh, “Wow, that was a good book！” The only way they can do that is by having the necessary skills and strategies to bee independent readers. This website has been created to provide resources and materials for classroom teachers, reading and resource specialists, speech therapists, parents and students in the area of language arts. Please feel free to download and print anything that catches your eye, but please make sure to leave my name on the poetry and worksheets!If you have specific needs or suggestions, please dont hesitate to ask. Im always open to new ideas and requests. Thats how the site continues to grow. You can email me at carl1404msn.Thank you so much for your heartfelt messages and testimonials.

A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice creamas well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道)Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? Notheres more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 icecream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes，” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor？” Next its time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happyworking at one cool job.你长大想做什么呢？老师？医生？冰淇淋的品尝者怎么样呢？24.

According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”， it is helpful to _.A. keep a diary of work B. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every day D. find out new flavors each day答案：B细节理解题。由第三段最后一句话“He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this cool field.”可知，B项正确。26.

John Harrisons Life D. One Cool Job答案：D主旨大意题。原文最后一段点明主旨。本文主要介绍John Harrison从事的“cool”工作。故D项正确。CIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they bee weak. When you start using them again, they slowly bee strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that ones memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to bee strong.If a friend plains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can bee very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who cant read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time. So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.三天不练手生，身体如此，大脑记忆力亦如此。28. According to the passage, few people know that _.A. arms or legs bee weak if they are not used for some timeB. when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly bee strong againC. a persons memory bees weak if he does not practise remembering thingsD. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak答案：C细节理解题。由文中第一句话，第三句话可知，没有几个人知道一个人的记忆力会变差，如果不练习记东西的话。故C项正确。29. The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, _.A. it is his own fault B. his parents are to blameC. he is just unlucky D. his arms must be weak答案：A细节理解题。由第二段第二句话可知，如果一个人记忆力不好的话，不能怪父母，而是他自己的错。30. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that _.A. people who cant read are cleverer than those who canB. people who cant write are cleverer than those who canC. a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memoryD. people who practise remembering regularly have a better memory答案：D细节理解题。该段的最后一句话表明经常练习记东西的人有更好的记忆力。31. The passage mainly tells us _.A. how to get our arms and legs stronger B. how to improve our memoryC. how to read and write D. how to remember dates and prices答案：B主旨大意题。本文最后一段为中心段，全篇都在围绕此段内容展开，即如何提高记忆力。故B项正确。DDo you get nervous and not know what to do the day before an exam? Read these tips (技巧)1. Take the day off from studying.Research has shown that studying right before an exam is more likely to hurt than to help. Why? Because the information studied is still floating around in your shortterm memory and actually interferes (干扰) recall of the information that you have studied days, weeks or even months before.2. Plan something fun to do as a reward for all the effort you have put into getting ready.Call friends to make plans for the time after the exam. Take in a good movie or shop at a favorite store. In short, do something interesting that you have put off during the previous weeks of preparing and treat yourself to something special.3. Watch your intake of caffeine.Nothing drives up your anxiety level faster than not being able to fall asleep the night before an exam, so avoid drinks, like coffee, tea, or colas.4. Try to relax with physically tiring activities.Do some activities like swimming, jogging, or biking so that you will feel tired enough to sleep. A warm shower or bath close to bedtime will also help relax you. Unless you know exactly how it will affect you the next day, avoid taking any sleeping pills because they may leave you feeling drowsy during the exam, which will affect your performance.5. Prepare everything you will need the night before.Check everything you will need for the exam before you go to sleep. In this way, you wont have to worry about not being able to find your lucky shirt or the test permit in the morning. If you plan to drive to the test center, make sure you have enough gasoline.本文为我们介绍了考试前应做的事和不该做的事，从而克服紧张情绪，取得好成绩的一些小技巧。32. What is implied (暗示) in Point 1?A. Students shouldnt go to school the day before an exam.B. Studying hard the day before an exam may not be a good idea.C. Its hard to forget the information we have studied right before an exam.D. What we have studied several days before an exam will help us most in the exam.答案：B细节理解题。Point 1的第一句表明考试前学习有害无益，它会对以前的学到的信息造成干扰。B项的意思是：考前努力学习可能不是好主意。其它选项都与Point 1违背，故B项正确。33. The writer suggests that we _.A. do nothing but relax for two days before an examB. go to the cinema to relax the day before an examC. avoid some kinds of drinks the night before an examD. avoid taking a shower close to bedtime before an exam答案：C细节理解题。A项内容原文没有提及；B项内容与Point 2中的“Call friends to make plans for the time after the exam. Take in a good movie or shop at a favorite store.”内容相反，是考试后看电影而不是考试前；由Point 3可知C项正确；由Point 4中的第二句话“A warm shower or bath close to bedtime will also help relax you.”可知，D项正确。34. The underlined word “drowsy” in Point 4 means “_”A. excitedB. sleepyC. interestedD. happy答案：B词义猜测题。由该词所在句意“避免吃安眠片，因为它们可能在你考试当中使你_”可知，安眠片会使人发困，故选sleepy“发困的”。正确选项为B项。35. The writer wrote this passage mainly to tell us _.A. what to do after an examB. how to study well before an examC. how to have a good sleep before an examD. dos and donts the day before an exam答案：D写作意图题。本文为我们介绍了考试前应该做和不该做的事，故正确选项为D项。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。Earthquake Safety ProceduresAn earthquake is a natural disaster which occurs when the surface of the earth experiences some kind of shaking. This happens when the plates of the Earth move together, putting so much pressure on it that it causes the breakage of the earths crust. _36_ Whatever be the reason of the earthquake, it not only has the ability to destruct and damage buildings, houses, electric poles, trees, etc., but also to take the lives of living beings. Therefore, it is important for people to know about earthquake safety procedures. _37_One of the main reasons due to which people lose their life during an earthquake is because they get panicky.Though it is very difficult to remain calm when the earth under you is shaking, it is very important to be so. _38_ If you are inside your house or office when the earthquake begins, do not try to run out of the building.This is because it has been reported that most of the deaths are caused when people try to move outside the building.When you start experiencing the vibration, the first thing that you should do is to get under a strong bed or table. _39_ You can use pillow, newspapers, blanket, big boxes, etc., to protect yourself from falling remains.Another thing that you have to remember is that you should stay away from china cabinets, tall shelves, mirrors, huge furniture, glass windows, sliding doors, etc., during an earthquake.This is because the shaking and vibration can cause them to fall. _40_ However, even if you do so, never use the elevator during an earthquake because the electricity may go off, leaving you stuck in there.AThey will help them to be safe during an earthquake.BYou should ensure that you and your family are safe.CMake sure that you stay inside the car till the earthquake stops.DAs I said earlier, it is best to avoid trying to run out of the building.ESometimes, volcanic activity can also give rise to an earthquake, too.FOther than this, it would also be a good idea to cove
