Gander’s Furniture Store

Stamford, Connecticut, 09876

Dear Sir,

I am writing about your November bill, which I am returning with this letter. I am not going to pay this bill. Last month I bought a table and four chairs for $65.50. They were sent to me on October 18. That night one leg of the table broke while my wife was putting our dinner on it. It fell on one of the chair, and that broke, too. Our $ 2.50 steak landed on the floor, and the dog ate it.

I spoke to the salesmen who had sold me the table and the chairs. He told me to write you a letter. I wrote you on October 20, saying that I was not going to pay for the furniture. On October 21 some men came and took it back to the store.

Please do something about your records. I do not want to receive another bill for the furniture which I returned.

Yours truly

Albertson

Yesterday, I saw the old lady fall down when I was hurrying to school. I was about to help her up while suddenly a passer-by stop me, saying that I might be accused of knocking her down. Heard his words, I began to hesitate and slow down my steps. At the same time, another student, that saw everything, went up to help. The old lady said nothing but lots of thank to the good boy. I felt ashamed. As is known to all, help others is forever a good virtue. Even though some old people are becoming immorally, we can’t let it to disappear. I have made my mind that I will reach out my hand without hesitation next time.

【題目】The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football. But there's big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school-shooting and killing people.

This is Elephant. It stars real school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.

Although it may not sound very high quality, the film won the Palme d'Or (金棕獎(jiǎng)) for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival.

The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.

The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.

The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone---fun and friendly, or hard and lonely.

In many ways, the two boys, who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano.

But there're hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied (欺負(fù)) at school. The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games. In fact, the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens.

"I didn't want to explain anything. It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions," said the 51-year-old director.

【1】The lines of the film were ________.

A. given by the director

B. created by student actors

C. thought out by the director during the acting

D. carefully designed by professional people

【2】 The film doesn't tell why school shootings happen________.

A. so as to leave room for the audience to think and judge

B. because life itself is the problem maker

C. because the mental problems of students are hard to explain

D. but there are some hints of the reasons

【3】The film is named Elephant because ________.

A. an elephant is always gentle and never causes trouble

B. an elephant is a symbol of big problems in American schools

C. elephant is used to suggest that the school crime is a big problem

D. the two boys liked elephants when alive

【4】What’s the passage mainly about？

A. It shows American school life.

B. It introduces the film Elephant.

C. It tells people to be careful while in peace.

D. It reports a school killing in a US school.

【題目】“Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example,most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking,but others have not passed the test of time.

Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you,too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.

Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems?Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains(谷物) tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.

Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold_water,_there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (積累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year．Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom．An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere．

The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (渦輪發(fā)電機(jī))．Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2．3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology．The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently．The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves．Hywind’s stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power．If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September．

To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean．To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s center of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface．To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (變速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades．

Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large．Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted．Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection．If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available．

【1】The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of_________.

A．the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floor

B．the spar which is floating in deep-sea water

C．the blades driven by strong and steady sea wind

D．the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface

【2】To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting_________.

A．on the sea floor

B．on the spar top

C．a(chǎn)t sea level

D．behind the blades

【3】Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can_________.

A．solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills

B．make financial profits by producing more turbines

C．settle the arguments about environmental problems

D．explore low-carbon power resources available at sea
