This is the word “family” written in Chinese “家”. It’s a pictographic character(象形文字). The “宀” looks like the roof(屋顶) of a house, and the “豕” is a pictographic character for “pig”, which is developed from a picture like this:

The word “家” with a pig under the roof of a house may show the importance of domestic animals(家畜) to traditional Chinese families.

There is a strong feeling between parents, children and other family members. The father is usually very strict with their children. Parents work very hard to set a good example for their children, while children study hard. Brothers and sisters in the family are very friendly and helpful to each other. All the family members make an effort to live a happy life.

Our ancestors(祖先) will be part of our life and a warm memory forever.　▲　 We remember our ancestors, not for any advantages for ourselves but to make our feelings more active. Whenever we think of them, they make us stronger inside. 

Everyone values the idea of “making all the members of the family happy”. We should all have this same idea as the great “Chinese Dream”. There are thousands of families in China, just because every family goes well, China is getting better and better.

No one really knows exactly how, when, or where fortune cookies(签饼) were invented.

One thing is for sure, fortune cookies were not from China. They were created in America. However, they may have been inspired by Chinese or Japanese treats. Some people think that fortune cookies may be created because of mooncakes, or some small Chinese cakes with messages inside. Some believe that fortune cookies are similar to traditional Japanese rice crackers(薄脆饼干). They once had a note inside.

Fortune cookies are so popular that two American cities, San Francisco and Los Angeles, once fought for the right to be the home of fortune cookies.

In 1983,a trial(审判)was held to decide where fortune cookies came from. One side, David Jung, is the founder(创立者)of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles. He said he invented the fortune cookies in 1918. The other side argued that the fortune cookies were invented by a man named Makoto Hagiwara, who ran the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco in the 1890s. The judge sided with Hagiwara. It was not surprising, because the trial was held in San Francisco. People in Los Angeles later held their own trial and decided that their city was the home of fortune cookies.

No matter where fortune cookies were from, it is hard to imagine finishing a Chinese meal without opening this sweet, crispy treat and reading the message in it.

1.According to the passage, fortune cookies were created1in__________.

2.What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The traditional Japanese rice crackers.

B. The fortune cookies.

C. The two American cities.

3. San Francisco held a trial in__________ to decide where fortune cookies came from.

4. Which of the following about fortune cookies is TRUE according to the passage?

A. They were created by David Jung.

B. They were invented in Los Angeles.

C. They go well with Chinese food.

5. What's the best title for the passage?

A.A Cookie War

B.A Special Treat

C.A Fortunate City

第三节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

My name is Susie Thompson, and I’m fifteen. I’ve been at River School, London since I was eleven. If I pass my exams next year, I’ll stay here until I’m eighteen.

River School is a secondary school, about twenty minutes from my home by bike. Before I came here, I went to the primary school near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.

We go to school every weekday from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm. Before class, our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There, our head teacher tells us news about the school. At 9:05 am the bell rings, and lessons start. Each lesson lasts (持续) for an hour. We have a break from 11:05 am until 11:15 am, then another lesson, and then lunch for an hour. In the afternoon, we have two more lessons before school finishes.

This year I have ten subjects: math, English, physics, chemistry, French, history, geography, music, IT and PE. Some people learn German instead of French. It’s lucky we don’t have exams in every subject.

We have a large sports ground for football and tennis, where we can play both during and after school hours. After-school activities such as sports clubs and language societies are popular too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and to camps for activities such as climbing and walking in the country. Last year a group of us even went to Japan. There are parties and a sports day, and school plays are really popular. Once a term, there is a parents’ meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.

What do I like best about school? English, chemistry, music, sports clubs, school plays … and above all, my friends!

41．Where does Susie live?

42．How long has Susie been at River School?

43．When does the fourth lesson start?

44．Do all the students at River School have the same subjects? How do you know that?

45．How do you like Susie’s school life? Why?

阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

  Sometimes, we hear that a man is described as a loser. The word “loser” means that a person is unsuccessful. It is really a cruel word, which often hurts other’s feelings. 66.The word “winner” is often used to describe a rich and successful man.

A loser, if he tries his best to change, can also be a winner in the end. Some great people were considered a loser once. Then there came a point when things turned out well for them.

Albert Einstein was a famous physicist. When he was young, he was slow in learning to speak and didn’t seem to be smart. 67.他父母甚至怀疑他的脑子是不是有问题。Though it took him a little bit longer than others, he did well, changing physics and ideas about space.

J. K. Rowling, who is the creator of Harry Potter series, experienced pains and poverty（贫穷）on her way to success. She once lived on welfare（救济）. 68.In that period, she considered herself a complete loser. But the bad situation didn’t break her. Finally, she became one of the greatest writers of our time.

Einstein said, “69.If you’ve never failed, you’ve never tried anything new.” J. K. Rowling told people, “It is impossible to live without failing in something, unless you live so cautiously（谨慎地）that you might as well not have lived at all.” 70.坚持你的目标，没什么能阻止你成功。Sometimes, it just takes a little longer to be a winner.
