In a sense, China has been and is still my second home But in those past years I ha d never been to Quzhou.Some days ago, for the first time in my Chinese life, I stepped into the beautiful city of Quzhou. My impressions of Quzhou city were as I always thought: green countryside, rainy sky, wet air. That was what I imagined for years the south of China would be. When we finally arrived, I was impressed by the elegant (优雅的) city.Next day we were taken to visit some places not far away from the city. I was not aware of the direction of our short trip, but when we arrived at Lanke Mountain and got out of the car, I thought that we had been taken to a fairyland (仙境) : the light rain over the green and thick plants, the silvery sky like a heavy blanket and the mystery (神秘) of this mountain made me feel like being part of a picture.Jiulong Lake was our next step. The mystic atmosphere (气氛) of this place was so strong that I decided to watch the view standing at the top when I stepped into the small boat to sail upstream. Sometimes we were so close to the mountain that we could clearly see the red soil under the plants. I was thinking of the joy to be in a place like Jiulong Lake and how it would be to live among those hills for a while.The final leg of the days journey was a primary school. We were welcomed by the smiles on the faces of many young pioneers. The energy of the hundreds of kids made me feel younger for a while, so educated, so polite and so warm that I had no doubt about the future generations of Quzhou people. The people seem to me the best of Quzhou and they will remain in my memories forever.（1）From the passage, we can know the writer .A . will come to work in QuzhouB . will leave China soonC . has lived in China for a long timeD . has just come to China（2）From the passage, we can know the writer .A . will come to work in QuzhouB . will leave China soonC . has lived in China for a long timeD . has just come to China（3）The writer visited places the next day in Quzhou.A . twoB . threeC . fourD . five（4）The writer visited places the next day in Quzhou.A . twoB . threeC . fourD . five（5）In the writers eye, Quzhou is .A . green, rainy, wet and elegantB . green, large, modern and mysticC . small, warm, dry and elegantD . beautiful, dry, modern and mystic（6）In the writers eye, Quzhou is .A . green, rainy, wet and elegantB . green, large, modern and mysticC . small, warm, dry and elegantD . beautiful, dry, modern and mystic（7）What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A .

There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbits feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbits foot if you will, but remember it didnt work for the rabbit!”People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following yearthey will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!（1）_ is mentioned (提到) in the oldest good luck tradition.A .

Then he came up with the three-point seat belt to keep passengers from flying out of their cars during collisions. The three-point seat belt used one strap (带子) across the chest (胸部) and another across the legs and then the two joined at me same place.Amazingly, this was a very simple idea which no one had tried before. The three-point seat belt was introduced on Volvo cars in 1959. For more peoples safety, Volvo made the new seat belt design available to other car makers for free. Since then, engineers have worked to improve the three-point seat belt, but the basic design remains Bohlins.At the time of Bohlins death in September 2002, Volvo announced that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives since it was introduced.（1）The writer develops his ideas in Paragraph 1 by _. A . telling a jokeB . giving some examplesC . asking some fun questionsD . describing a personal experience（2）What does the underlined word collisions in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A . 修理B . 清洗C . 制造D . 碰撞（3）Bohlin invented the three-point seat belt _.
