Thinking about my time in France, I noticed quite a few differences between the French and the English.
The first example is about the French language. In French, there are two ways to say ‘you’: ‘tu’ is the informal (不正规的) form, while ‘vous’ is the formal form. When I learnt French, I was taught to call everyone ‘vous’ unless ( 除 非 ) they were my family or a friend. So I was surprised that everyone in France used the informal ‘tu’ all the time. School children used ‘tu’ with their teachers as well as the head teacher. Even strangers I met in the street would call me ‘tu’, and sometimes ‘tu’ was written on street signs. But I continued to use ‘vous’ because I didn’t want people to think I was being impolite. To be honest, I’m thankful that in English we don’t have to worry about these things!
As you might know, school children in the UK traditionally wear school uniforms but in France pupils do not wear uniforms. It was a culture shock for me to see children wearing Spiderman T-shirts and baggy blue jeans while in the classroom. The final difference was the relaxed attitude at school. Teachers were never in a hurry, and the children and teachers were given long rests and much time to eat their lunch. While in the UK, school day might seem highly pressured (有压力的).
The UK and France are only separated by a small channel of the sea, but there are many differences between the two cultures! Anyway, I cannot deny (否认) what a great chance it was to live and work in another country.
【1】Which of the following is NOT a culture shock to the writer?
A. It takes French students much time to eat lunch.
B. French students use ‘tu’ with their head teacher.
C. Students in France wear different clothes at school.
D. Teachers and students in the UK seem highly pressured.
【2】What might the writer say to his friends when he goes back to the UK?
A. It’s very fantastic to stay in France. B. People in France are more polite than us.
C. The French culture is just the same as ours. D. It’s more difficult to learn French in France.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Life in France B. Troubles in France
C. Cultural Differences D. Different Languages

We all know the sun is important. It provides life for plants, animals, and people here on Earth. But how does the sun do that? It’s the sun’s energy that makes life on our planet possible.
Energy from the sun is called solar ( 太 阳 的 ) energy. It comes in the form of light or heat. Solar energy is what makes you feel hot when you sit in the sunlight. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. Houses are built with windows so that sunlight can get inside and provide heat. The sun’s energy can also be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass ( 放 大 镜 ), your parents have probably warned you about leaving it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn things under it, causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun in the form of heat is called solar thermal (热的) energy.
We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity ( 电 能 ). This is done with solar panels. Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars. But what happens when groups of clouds block the solar panels? Does this mean that solar energy can only be used on bright sunny days? Solar panels can have batteries ( 电 池 ) with them to store ( 储 存 ) electricity for a rainy day. When the sun is shining, the electricity flows from the solar panel into the batteries. This stored electricity can be used at night or on cloudy days.
Do you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be? In fact, in the last few years, solar panels have become much more affordable for people to use. Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used since the beginning of tie, imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our earth.
【1】What is the writer trying to do in this text?
A. To show the feature of the sun. B. To tell the importance of the sun.
C. To discover the secrets of the sun. D. To introduce the energy of the sun.
【2】What are solar panels used for?
A. To get heat energy from the sun. B. To get light energy from the sun.
C. To get light and heat from the sun. D. To get electrical energy from the sun.
【3】The word “affordable” in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A. easy enough B. cheap enough
C. a bit expensive D. quite simple
【4】Which of the following is the writer ’s opinion about the sun’s energy?
A. People will drive cars with solar panels in the near future.
B. People began to use the sun’s energy thousands of years ago.
C. Batteries are used to store electricity for rainy days or nights.
D. A magnifying glass can burn things with solar thermal energy.

In 1993 the UN decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world.
The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. We also need water for cooking. We have toilets in our houses and when we brush our teeth or have a shower, we use the bathroom. Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow.
We are lucky enough to have clean water whenever ( 无 论 何 时 ) we want, but this is not the case for many
people around the world. Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? And do you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets? That’s about 1 in 3 people in the world.
If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty water. In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.
For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground. At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance (距离) carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.

B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为 66-75 的相应位置上。
Do you know what makes you happy? Write a list of all the things that make you happy. If you s【1】your time doing all these fun things, you’ll be really happy.
For most people, fun isn’t e【2】for real happiness. Paul Dolan wrote a book called Happiness by Design. He thinks happiness comes from both pleasure and p【3】. If most of the things on your list are about pleasure, that is what you think makes you happy. But you also need activities with purpose.
If you’re a student, your “j【4】” is studying and passing exams. It’s easy to do well in subjects you like, but subjects you don’t like are less motivating ( 激 励 的 ). They’re not fun for you, but you have to studythem so you need to f【5】purpose. An “A” in a subject you hate won’t help the world. But can you be part of a study team with friends? Each person can study one part until they understand it and then teach it to the
r【6】of the group. The purpose becomes helping the team.
Go back to your list of things that make you happy. How many of them are activities that bring purpose? Can you a【7】any more examples? Remember, some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose.
Now you need to design a happy life. Paul Dolan b【8】people should “decide, design, do”. First decide what brings you pleasure and/or purpose --- that means your two lists. T【9】, don’t just think about these activities, fill your life with them. For example, you love riding a bike but n【10】have time to do it. So, ride to school or the library or the shops. Some parts of our lives are good or bad luck, but we can still design the rest to make more happiness.
