A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass—telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, the plain and cheap ones being left behind. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other's cups.”
“Now consider this：Life is the coffee；the jobs，money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup，we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor（品味）the coffee，not the cups! Don't let the cups drive you… enjoy the coffee instead.”
After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever.
24. Why did the professor take out various cups with a large pot of coffee？
A. To show his wealth. B. To offer more choices to students.
C. To tell students the philosophy of life. D. To match different coffee tastes.
25. According to the professor, what is the source of the students' problems and stress?
A. Looking for good jobs. B. Pursuing perfection.
C. Buying a big house. D. Searching for nice companions.
26. Why did students eye each other's cups？
A. To exchange their coffee with others. B. Only to talk about their coffee.
C. To intend to have others' cups. D. To make sure their own cups were better.
27. What does the passage mainly tell us？
A. Learn to enjoy your life. B. Cups are nothing.
C. Coffee is the best. D. The appearance is everything

C
At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the Y. M. C．A．offering exactly the opportunity. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y. M. C．A．pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?" With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?"
I had conquered my fear of water.
28．The author's original fear of water was caused by__________.
A．an outing to the beach with his father
B．his mother's warning of drowning
C.his poor skill in swimming
D．an unpleasant memory of the pool
29．Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water?
A．He knew how to swim in the pool.
B．He felt that the Y. M. C．A．pool was safe.
C. He came up with an idea to go upwards.
D. He was waiting for others to save him.
30．By "but I was not" in paragraph 5, the author probably means"
A. he was still a poor swimmer
B. he was not afraid of drowning any more
C. he had not overcome the fear yet
D. he was not satisfied with the swimming training
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. My Passion for Swimming B. Hello, Childhood Fear
C.A Swimming Adventure D. Goodbye, Mr. Terror

D
Why did Christopher Columbus, who never set foot on North America, get a national holiday in his name? This is in sharp contrast to Juan Ponce de Leon (who arrived in Florida in 1513), Alonso Alvarez de Pineda (whose ships arrived in what’s now known as Corpus Christi Bay in Texas in 1519) and Giovanni da Verrazzano, who reached New York Harbor in 1524.
Actually, until the mid-1700s, Christopher Columbus was not widely known among most Americans. It started to change in the 1820s when Italian immigrants began moving to the United States in sizable numbers in search of opportunity and a better life. But the new arrivals were not welcomed by all. They were often described as short in size, dark in skin, cruel and too emotional.
These anti-Italian feelings led to one of the largest mass killings in New Orleans in 1891, when 11 Italian immigrants were hanged without trial after police chief David Hennessy, known for his arrests of Italian Americans, was killed. The cruel killing angered Italy, which threatened to cut off diplomatic relations with the US. In an attempt to please Italian government and acknowledge the contributions of Italian Americans on the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in South America, President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 declared a nationwide celebration of “Discovery Day”, recognizing
Columbus as “the pioneer of progress”. In 1934, President Franklin D．Roosevelt made it a national holiday, and in 1971 Congress changed the date from October 12 to the second Monday of October. The first state to officially observe Columbus Day was Colorado in 1906.
However, not every state was happy about the national holiday honoring Columbus. Three states with significant native populations—Hawaii, Alaska and South Dakota—do not observe the day at all. In 1990, South Dakota decided to celebrate “Native American Day” instead In Hawaii the state chose to celebrate “Discoverers’ Day”, The city of Berkeley in California was the first to declare in 1992 that it would be celebrating “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” on the same day when the rest of the country would be celebrating Columbus.
32．Who is the first man to arrive in North America?
A．Christopher Columbus. B．Juan Ponce de Leon.
C．Alonso Alvarez de Pineda. D．Giovanni da Verrazzano.
33．What can we learn from the text?
A．Italian immigrants were badly treated in the US.
B．Discovery Day is welcomed by the native Americans.
C．Discoverers’ Day is celebrated in every state in the US.
D．Columbus arrived in the US on the second Monday of October.
34．In which state was Indigenous Peoples’ Day first celebrated?
A．Hawaii. B．Colorado. C．California. D．Alaska.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．The Origins of Different American Holidays
B．How Did Columbus Sail Into the US Holidays?
C．What Is the So-called Indigenous Peoples’ Day?
D．A Brief Introduction to Italian Immigrants in the US

Dear Jack, 
I'm glad to hear from you. And now I’m very happy to share something about Chinese tea culture in reply to your last e-mail. 
Chinese tea culture started about 4,000 years ago and drinking tea gradually became an amazing tradition. In China, people drink tea almost everywhere and in most of their spare time. Some Chinese believe that tea benefits people’s health a lot. Drinking a cup of tea makes people relaxed and refreshed. Others treat guests or friends to tea drinking in social communication.
Probably, you’ve got a general picture of tea culture after my introduction. Then, how about coming to China to experience it yourself? Maybe, you will fall in love with it.
Yours,
Li Hua

(Text 10)
M: Do you know when and how bicycles began? Well, in the eighteenth century, cities became larger and larger. And people moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse. So people needed a simpler means of transportation, and inventors in many countries tried to solve this problem.
Therefore, the first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790 in France. People called it “the horse on wheels”, but it was difficult to ride and it also felt uncomfortable. Then in 1861, after many improvements being made, bicycles became a practical means of transportation. And people liked bicycles, because they were not as expensive as horses, and better still, they didn’t need to be fed. However, they could go anywhere and were easy to ride.

【解析D篇】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国节日Columbus Day的来历及各族裔对它的态度取向。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段的“This is in sharp contrast to Juan Ponce de Leon (who arrived in Florida in 1513), Alonso Alvarez de Pineda (whose ships arrived in what’s now known as Corpus Christi Bay in Texas in 1519) and Giovanni da Verrazzano, who reached New York Harbor in 1524. (这与胡安·庞塞·德莱昂(1513年到达佛罗里达)、阿隆索·阿尔瓦雷斯·德·皮内达(1519年他的船队到达现在的德克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂湾)和乔瓦尼·达·维拉扎诺(1524年到达纽约港)形成了鲜明的对比)”可知，Juan Ponce de Leon首先到达北美洲。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段的“They were often described as short in size，dark in skin, cruel and too emotional. (他们经常被描述为身材矮小、皮肤黝黑、残忍、过于情绪化)”及第三段的“These anti-Italian feelings led to one of the largest mass killings in New Orleans in 1891, when 11 Italian immigrants were hanged without trial after police chief David Hennessy, known for his arrests of Italian Americans, was killed. (这些反意大利情绪导致了1891年新奥尔良最大规模的屠杀之一，11名意大利移民未经审判就被绞死，此前以逮捕意大利裔美国人而闻名的警察局长大卫·轩尼诗被杀)”可推知，早期的意大利裔移民在美国也遭到了严重的歧视。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The city of Berkeley in California was the first to declare in 1992 that it would be celebrating ‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day’ on the same day when the rest of the country would be celebrating Columbus. (加州的伯克利市在1992年率先宣布将在全国其他地区庆祝哥伦布的同一天庆祝‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day’)”可知，最早庆祝Indigenous Peoples’ Day的是加州。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Columbus Day这一美国节日的来历及含义，再结合第一段的“Why did Christopher Columbus, who never set foot on North America, get a national holiday in his name?   (为什么从未踏足北美的克里斯托弗·哥伦布会有一个以他的名字命名的全国性节日?)”可知，B项“哥伦布是如何进入美国节日的？”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。
