What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist (樂(lè)觀者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(有決心的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理學(xué)家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference (愛(ài)好), and the effect that colours have on human beings(人類(lèi)).They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(壓抑的). Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade(燈罩).
小題1:According to this passage, ________. 
A．one can choose his colour preference
B．one is born with his colour preference
C．one’s colour preference is changeable
D．one has to choose his favourite colour as he can see clearly
小題2:If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer________.

A．one’s color preference show one’s character
B．you can brighten your life with wonderful colours
C．psychologists have been studying the meaning of colour preference
D．one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colours have effects on human beings
小題4:The writer believes that in realizing the four modernizations(四個(gè)現(xiàn)代化) of our country, we need more people who love ________.
A．yellowB．redC．greenD．black
小題5:“I’m feeling black.” means “________ ”.
A．I am feeling well.B．I am very happy.
C．I am excited.D．I am depressed

小題1:B
小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:C
小題1:D

文章講的是顏色及它們所代表的含義。
1. B 根據(jù)They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite colour as we grow up可知隨著年齡的增加，我們并不能選擇我們喜歡的顏色，故它是出生就選擇好了的，選B。
2. C 細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist (樂(lè)觀者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement可是黃色，橙色及紅色表示這個(gè)人喜歡生活，故選C。
3. A 主旨題的考查。從文章可以看出顏色可以反應(yīng)人的性格，特別是從don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character可知這才是文章的重點(diǎn)所在，選A。
4. C 推理題。四個(gè)現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)表明人有雄大的志向和決心，根據(jù)If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(有決心的)可知，對(duì)應(yīng)的是綠色，故選C。
5. D 考查對(duì)句子的理解。從文中On the other hand, black is depressing(壓抑的)可知答案選D。

Father’s Day has a very short history. It started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses(商人) found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers, a present from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though（雖然） some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do --- buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present --- not for her father but for her husband, even if（即使） he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
閱讀短文，判斷正誤，正確的用“T”，錯(cuò)誤的用“F”：
小題1:Father’s Day started just because businesses wanted to get a lot of money.
小題2: The word “special” in the second paragraph means “not usual”.
小題3: In America, people have a Father’s Day to show their love for their fathers.
小題4: On Father’s Day, businesses always want people to buy as many as presents.
小題5:It can be learned from the passage that Father’s Day will become more important than Mother’s Day.

Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers to Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years. Since July 1,2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.
The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the Potala Palace. Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey, like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.
On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner.

TV and electrical sockets (插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.
Because there isn’t much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks (氧氣罩) for those who need them. It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous “roof of the world”. There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe.
