People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.（2.0 分）1. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉)can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest---curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.（2.0 分）6.  The passage mainly discusses __________. A．a new way of highway speed controlB．a new pattern for painting highwaysC．a new approach to training driversD． a new type of optical illusion（2.0 分）7.  On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that __________. A． they should avoid speed-related hazardsB．they are driving in the wrong laneC．. they should slow down their speedD．they are approaching the speed limit（2.0 分）8. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ___________.

One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel". Usually the question is asked of a man in action--a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right." But "you've put a bug in his ear" — maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to sec if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel?"Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel?" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him "How do you feel", Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age", he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."（2.0 分）11.According to the writer, greetings, such as "How do you feel?" _________ . A． show one's consideration for othersB．are a good way to make friendsC．are proper to ask a man in actionD．generally make one feel uneasy（2.0 分）12.The question "How do you feel?" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ________ . A． a man working at his deskB． a person having lost a close friendC．. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD．a friend who is ill（2.0 分）13. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should _________ . A．be praised for his effortsB． never be asked any questionC．not be botheredD．be discouraged from working so hard（2.0 分）14.George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ________ . A． cheerfulnessB．clevernessC．abilityD． politeness（2.0 分）15."You've put a bug in his ear "means that you've _________ . A．made him laughB． shown concern for himC．made fun of himD． given him some kind of warning

Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉)can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest---curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.（2.0 分）6.  The passage mainly discusses __________. A．a new way of highway speed controlB．a new pattern for painting highwaysC．a new approach to training driversD． a new type of optical illusion（2.0 分）7.  On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that __________.

One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel". Usually the question is asked of a man in action--a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right." But "you've put a bug in his ear" — maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to sec if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel?"Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel?" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him "How do you feel", Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age", he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."（2.0 分）11.According to the writer, greetings, such as "How do you feel?" _________ . A． show one's consideration for othersB．are a good way to make friendsC．are proper to ask a man in actionD．generally make one feel uneasy（2.0 分）12.The question "How do you feel?" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ________ .

A．be praised for his effortsB． never be asked any questionC．not be botheredD．be discouraged from working so hard（2.0 分）14.George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ________ . A． cheerfulnessB．clevernessC．abilityD． politeness（2.0 分）15."You've put a bug in his ear "means that you've _________ .

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.（2.0 分）1. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A． The home matters greatly to Englishmen.B．The castle is more important than the home.C． The home is more important than the castle.D．Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castles.（2.0 分）2. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes?
