    　According to the stereotype （常规）, blue - collar workers are men with little formal education who use their muscles instead of their brains to earn a living. They come home from work, open a can of beer, sit down and start complaining about work, money and demands made by small groups.

    　The stereotype, which has wide acceptance, is unfair. Blue - collar workers have to use both mind and body, and often their jobs require a good deal of knowledge and skill. They usually go straight to work after high school. If they want more education, they get it by themselves, not through support of families or scholarships.

    　If blue - collar workers complain, there are some good reasons. Bosses tell them that they are laborers with the highest pay in history, but they look around and see that the gaps between the rich and the poor is wider than ever. They feel that the government has paid little attention to them and consider themselves forgotten men.

    (1) The main idea of the passage is that ______.

    [　　]

    A．blue - collar workers are not treated fairly

    B．blue - collar workers should have formal education

    C．blue - collar workers complain too much

    D．blue - collar workers have to get some support of families or scholarship

    (2) According to the writer, a blue - collar worker ______.　　　

    [　　]

    A．works just with his muscles

    B．uses both his mind and body

    C．works mainly with his brain

    D．works with either muscles or brain.

    (3) From the passage, we can conclude that ______.　　　

    [　　]

    A．the stereotype tells the difference between the rich and the poor

    B．people in general think that the stereotype tells the truth

    C．people in general don't agree with the stereotype

    D．“all in the Family” is different from the stereotype in all fields

    (4) If blue - collar workers complain, their complaints are ______.　　　

    [　　]

    A．only about money

    B．sometimes reasonable

    C．unfair

    D．accepted by bosses

    (5) Blue - collar workers consider themselves forgotten men because ______.

    [　　]

    A．they could not remember things well

    B．they forget things easily

    C．bosses refuse to give them high pay

    D．the government doesn't care much for them

    答案：A;B;B;B;D

    　　When it comes to language learning, you're the boss. You may say, “Isn't it the teacher's job to tell me what to learn?” Actually, effective language learners don't rely on the teacher to spoon-feed them. They are go-getters. They seek out chances to use their new language and to learn new vocabulary. They know that language proficiency won't just drop out of the sky, and that learning comes by doing. In short, they're active learners.

    　　“I know, I know,” you admit. “I should practise English more.” Actually, instead of looking for chances to practise English, think of ways to use English in daily life. That is, put yourself in situations where you'll be forced to communicate in English, and you'll see more progress over time. You need large help of English input to feed your language development. When you use the language, it will become your own.

    1．According to the article, in language learning, one should be ________.

    [　　]

    A．active
    B．painful
    C．patient
    D．clever

    2．The underlined word “proficiency” probably means a high standard of ________.

    [　　]

    A．spoken English
    B．education
    C．ability and skill
    D．learning

    3．Which of the following doesn't accord with(符合) the point of the article?

    [　　]

    A．To see English films.

    B．To do your homework more often.

    C．To listen to English songs.

    D．To speak English with your partners.

    　　The kids at Shute Country Primary School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when it's time to go home in the afternoon. Instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other,“Are the lights all off?”“Shall we check the taps in case they are dripping?”“How many paper towels did we use today?”

    　　But it's not unusual here. The kids have declared a war on waste.

    　　“We've never made the children do anything.”explained Liz Templar, the school's head teacher.“They came up with all the ideas themselves. They're doing this because they want to.”

    　　If you take a look around the school you won't see anything thrown away unnecessarily. Everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.

    　　Shute School started its green revolution two years ago. They looked carefully at every part of school life--from the teaching to the cleaning. They looked at the stationery(文具) that was used--especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used--and wasted!

    　　Even parents were looked at: how many children came in each car? Did they use unleaded petrol? Could they bring more children in fewer cars?

    　　High on the list was the waste of paper. Next came unfriendly cleaning products. Paper towels were replaced with recycled paper, but the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks(小吃) eaten at lunch time. Of their own accord(自愿地), the children gave them up. Now they bring apples and home-made snacks.

    　　The school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment. They also use this area for their recycling store--large containers to collect aluminium, bottles, paper and fabric(织物).

    　　Even the school's play area is made from recycled things.

    　　Since the children started, the school's heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.

    　　Everywhere in Shute School there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and paper and to keep the green flag flying.

    　　Tourism probably started in Roman times．Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire．But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped．

    　I　n the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born．Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峡)．They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice(威尼斯)in Italy．Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city．The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education－but only for the rich．

    　　In the 18th century, tourism began to change．For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”．They believed that the water there was good for their health．So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns．

    　　In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster．When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea．And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier．

    　　Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built．People began to travel more to far away countries．

    　　The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people．Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them．

    　　Thus tourism grew．In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays．The company organizes everything－plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food－and tourists pay for it all before they leave home．The package tour and modern tourist industry was born．

    　　The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949．But tourism did not take off until 1978．In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development．
