Do you drop it on the ground? Or, do you do the right thing and drop it in a trash can? Hopefully, you drop it in the trash can because, besides harming the environment, littering is also very impolite.Recently, a magazine published a list of the most polite cities in the world. They looked three things: did people litter, did shop clerks say thank you and did people hold the door open for the person behind them? The top three politest cities were New York, USA, Zurich, Switzerland, and Toronto, Canada. Hong Kong, China was number 35. Shanghai wasnt even on the list.Does that mean that Shanghai is not apolite city? Well, maybe. There are different ways to judge(判断) politeness but the survey was looking at how a visitor to a city would feel when walking around its public places. Visitors dont like to step over empty tea boxes as they walk down the street. They dont like it when they buy something and the shop clerk doesnt say thank you or even give them a smile. They also dont like it when someone lets a door slam(砰然关上) into them instead of holding it open.Shanghai is a nice city but it is not always the most polite city. I dont think this is intentional(有意的). I think its just a lack of awareness(缺乏意识). China is becoming a popular place for tourists to visit. When they come to Shanghai they will find a friendly city: it would be nice if they also found apolite one. And, remember, being polite makes you feel good, too. Its nice to be nice.（1）The following cities EXCEPT _ are on the list of the most polite cities in the world.A . ShanghaiB . TorontoC . New YorkD . Zurich（2）How many cities are mentioned in this passage?A . Four.B . Five.C . Six.D . Seven.（3）Why is Shanghai not always the most polite city in the survey?A . Because people there dont realize the importance of politeness.B . Because people there are not friendly enoughC . Because the food there is not delicious.D . Because the city is too old.（4）In the survey, it is looked to be impolite _.A . to give visitors a smileB . to drop tea boxes into the trash canC . to say thank you to visitorsD . to hold the door closed for visitors（5）The writer mainly wants to tell us _.A . not to drink tea in the streetB . to hold the door open for anybodyC . to remember to be polite in public placesD . to travel to the most polite cities more often19. （10分）阅读理解It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people dont need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people dont have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.So what is education for? Education is wellrounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.（1）People with better education usually _. A . have fewer chance to choose a good jobB . have more chances to get a good jobC . make less money than othersD . spend the best years making money（2）The earliest education was probably to _. A . teach a man to think creativelyB . teach people to read good booksC . improve a man in many waysD . help people make more money（3）What does the underlined word “wellrounded” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A . 圆满的B . 崭新的C . 全面的D . 公平的（4）It is expected that educated people will be able to _. A . write good books by themselvesB . learn all the subjects very wellC . take an interest in the worldD . lead a richer life than others（5）The passage mainly tells us that _. A . making a living is not the only purpose of education.B . people can get education in a short time.C . people should study hard to get better paying jobs.D . all subjects are very important for a way of living.四、 任务型阅读。 (共2题；共20分)20. （10分）任务型阅读 根据短文内容完成下面的表格，每空一词。If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver(勇敢的), just try the following things:Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide(掩盖) it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable i n talks.Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesnt it make you want to keep talking to that person?Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Dont waste time worrying about your look or whether(是否) people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find its not so ha rd to talk with others.Take one small step at a time.

Well, maybe you dont really hate them. Butyou get really angry every time you think of them. If you dont let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)Bitterness appears when we cant forgive(原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But Instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think were hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but were really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be anger. You may think youre right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably cant completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. Youll enjoy better health and peace of mind.阅读上面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案（1）According to the passage, we might get angry when someone _.bitterness comes from_.A . holds us backB . forgets usC . doesnt like usD . does hurt us（2）bitterness comes from_.A . our health problems like heart diseaseB . the anger that lives deep inside our mindC . the person who says something that hurts usD . our relation with friends and family members（3）The underlined word deny”in the passage means _A . 误解B . 否认C . 疏远D . 减轻（4）The best way to deal with the bitterness is to _.A . make the person who hurts us look badB . hate the person who hurts us very oftenC . accept that you are hurting the other personD . forgive the person who hurts us and forget it（5）What can we learn from the passage?A .
