A
I once brought some foreign friends to visit a Malay kampong a few kilometres outside the city. These friends from Australia were rather interested in finding out how Malay villagers lived. I decided the best way was to take them to an actual Malay kampong where they could see for themselves.
The kampong we visited was a seaside kampong. Naturally most of the kampong folk were fishermen although some were engaged in other jobs.
There were about thirty houses –most of them were wooden structures with attaproofs. There were no fences to separate the houses ----they had a sort of communal garden. Each family had its own small plot of land where they planted flowers or vegetables. They had no piped water supply but depended on wells for their water.
The kampong folk kept ducks and chickens which were allowed to wander freely about the compound. The visitors were surprised that the people in the kampong were so friendly and helpful towards one another. Although they shared communal gardens or compounds, there was no bickering or quarrelling.
Most of the houses were built on stilts and we also found large numbers of coconut trees growing within the kampong. We were invited into one of the kampong houses for some refreshments. Later the visitors took some photographs and walked round the village. We thanked the headman for allowing us the opportunity of visiting the village.
1. According to the writer, _____.
A. all of the kampong folk were fishermen B. most of the kampong folk were farmers
C. most of them earn their living by fishing D. not one of them was a fisherman
2. Most of the kampong houses were_____.
A. stone structure B. made of wood and attap
C. made of mud D. made of cement and wood
3. The visitors were surprised because ____.
A. the kampong was so dirty
B. B. the kampong folk were so kind and friendly
C. the kampong folk were always quarrelling
D. the villagers kept so many ducks and chickens
4. The kampong houses _____.
A. stood on stilts B. were built on the sea
C. were built on tree tops D. stood on the rocks
5. The kampong the writer and his friends visited______.
A. had piped water supply B. used sea water
C. depended on wells for their water supply D. had no water supply at all

New Year’s Day is the world’s oldest celebration. In fact, ancient people celebrated the new year even before they had exact ways of measuring time. New Year’s Day also is the one holiday that is observed everywhere in the world, by people of all national and religious(宗教的)groups.
Not everyone celebrates the new year at the same time, members of the Russian Orthodox(东正教)Church, for examples, observe it on January thirteenth. The Chinese celebrate at different times each year, sometime between January twenty—first and February nineteenth. But the majority of people today—including Americans –celebrate the new year on January first.
In some countries, the New Year’s holiday is the most important celebration of the year. This is not true in the United States, even though it is a celebration that many people enjoy. One reason may be that Christmas comes just one week before the new year. Christmas is American’s biggest holiday. And many people give it the importance that people in other countries give the start of a new year.
The most popular way to welcome the new year in the United States is with a big party. Some parties are at private homes. But in recent years, it has become more and more common for Americans to go to a hotel or eating place on the night of December thirty—first. There, they can eat a big dinner, drink champagnes, and dance to orchestra music deep into the night.
6. The best title of this short passage would be ____.
A. The Oldest Holiday B. The History of the New Year’s Day
C. New Year’s Celebration D. The Most Important Celebration
7. It can be learned from the text that ____.
A. different countries celebrate the new year at different time

A. January first B. January thirteenth
C. January twenty-first D. February nineteenth
9. The New Year’s holiday is not the most important to Americans because_____.
A. they do not enjoy the celebration
B. B. they do not think it the start of a new year
C. Christmas day is the beginning of a new year

A. hold a private party at home B. sing and dance at a hotel
C. have a big party at eating places D. attend church services

Plants seem to know which way is up and which way is down; moreover, they seem to know right from left. If a cutting from a poplar（白杨）tree is kept alive, new shoots will grow from the end that grew on the top in the tree.
There is no clear difference between the top and the bottom of the living stick, even under a microscope. Even so, the stick will not send out shoots from the end it regards as bottom even if this end happens to be top!
Scientists studying this subject further split their cuttings. To their surprise, they made another interesting discovery. A good many more young leaves grew on the right-hand side of the split surface than on the left. They split the stick again and found that the young leaves again grew on the right sides.
The results of the entire study showed that 40-60%of the cutting preferred the right side, proving that growing plants are usually “right-handed”.
11. “Up” and “Down” on a cutting are decided by the _____.
A. position in which the cutting is planted
B. B. “up” and “down” of the earliest plant
C. kind of plant from which the cutting was taken
D. D. size of the cutting
12. If a cutting is placed upside down in the lab, _____.
A. the earliest “up” will begin to grew leaves B. the part on top will begin to grow leaves
C. leaves will grow at either end D. the cutting will not develop at all
13. If the cutting is split in half, the young leaves will ______.
A. appear mostly on the right surface B. all appear on the left surface
C. not grow at all D. grow on the “down” end
14. When the scientists split the sticks a second time, the cuttings_____.
A. failed to grow young leaves
B. appeared to lose knowledge of their earliest “up” and “down”
C. no longer showed knowledge of left and right
D. still showed “right-handedness”
15. The best title for this article is ______.
A. A Well-known Plant Experiment B. Growing Plants Have a Sense of Direction
C. How Plants Grow D. The Basic for Right—handedness

When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store , it often carries a label(标签)telling who made it or from which shore it was bought. Indeed, some label show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.
However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.
This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.
The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expected enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.
16. The law requires that furs carry a ______.
A. clean label B clear label

Japan has a problem many other countries would envy—his workforce works too hard.
Curing Japanese workers of disease “workaholism” is proving a difficult job partly because many of them like work better than anything else, experts say.
Last month, the Japanese government passed a law for a 40-hourworking week, down from 48 hours, to let people spend time away from the office or factory. But it could be many years before average work hours fall to the new level.
In 1985, Japanese worker worked an average of 2,168 hours a year. But people in Britain worked 1,952 hours, the United States 1,924, West Germany 1,659 and France 1, 643.
Many Japanese workers work long hour not only because of devotion and the pleasure of the job, but also because of fear and inefficiency.(无效).
Many people feel that if they take a week off, they will lose touch with the business and fall behind other people. So they would rather stay at their desks. It is also considered bad form in many offices to leave before the boss. So workers will sit at their desks pretending to be busy until their boss finally puts on his jacket and heads out the door.
