The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world. Horses were used for thousands of years as a

13、means of transportation, a weapon of war and a plougher of fields(犁地農(nóng)具), but the horse was more than just a vehicle - it had more character than a car, a tank or a tractor, Clare Balding wrote for The Telegraph. In the Middle Ages in Western societies, the horse was a symbol of chivalry（騎士神）and nobi

14、lity(貴族). In fact, the word chivalry comes from cheval in Old French, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to fashion the 19th-century gentleman, which was about good manners, courage and honesty to friends. Nowadays, because of economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)) development, people in Western societies are les

15、s likely to see or ride horses. People living in cities, in particular, hardly ever experience horses except through movies, paintings or books. But horse racing, and betting .money on horse races, is still popular. The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular sporting events every year in the US.

16、In the UK, the royal police still go around the city on horseback and the Queen rides in a traditional horse-drawn carriage on ceremonial occasions (正式場(chǎng)合)” Some sayings about horses are still used in English today. For example, people still say hold your horses to mean “slow down. If someone seems t

17、oo proud, people might tell him or her to get off his or her high horse. And since horses are strong and energetic, there are expressions such as as strong as a horse, workhorse and horsing around. . Interestingly, the horse also appears in many Chinese sayings, such as Qianlima, which means a talen

18、ted person. Other Chinese horse sayings include Madaochenggong (instant success) and Baimawangzi (prince charming). Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have excellent memories, according to Discovery News. Maybe thats why Chinese people say, An old horse never gets lost. Since the

19、 horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to share them.1According to Chinese tradition, which year is welcomed best officially?Athe Year of the Snake Bthe Year of the TigerCthe Year of the Mouse Dthe Year of the Horse2According to the passa

23、f the most popular betting events every year in the US.CQianlima in Chinese means a person who can run one thousand kilometers a day.DSince the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to be as strong as a horse.B14、 Do equations and histori

24、cal(歷史的) facts give you a headache? A change in the school timetable(課程表) may be the cure.This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings a

25、nd better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.The researchers studied students grade reports, class timetables and absence rates(缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 pe

26、rcent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that simi

27、lar patterns(模式) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform(表現(xiàn)) better at different times of the day. In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving,

28、 where we require more speed and attention Dimitrova told The Telegraph. In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion, she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both

29、 memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock.This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tri

30、ed later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students performance just by changing their timetables.1In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) according to the passa

31、ge?AMath.BGeography.CEnglish.DHistory.2According to the new study, .Aafternoon classes lowered students performance in historyBschool timetables have an influence on every subjectCit was better for students to learn math in the morningDlower-ability students preferred to start school earlier3Whats t

32、he main idea of Paragraph 4?AIt shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day.BIt introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity.CIt encourages students to change their study methods for better results.DIt explains how school timetables a

33、ffect peoples study performance.4According to Dimitrova, .Arearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students test scoresBschools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetablesCmost schools dont have enough resources to support timetable changesDschools

34、 should think twice before changing their class timetables5What is the best title of this passage?ATime to change the timetable.BA survey carried out successfully.CSecrets of learning math and history well.DBody clocks influence grades.C15、For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatchi

35、ng TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (歐洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example.The biggest Swedish company sells diff

36、erent kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made 100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about 20 million a year to buy things through these channels.In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 h

37、our every day.Then the government allowed (允許) more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like

38、teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason.But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usu

39、ally worry about the quality (質(zhì)量) of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.They

40、 will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.1Teleshopping is _ in Europe.Anot popularBgrowingCnot possibleDcheap2People like teleshopping because it is _ .AAmericanBcheaperCeas

One day late in the afternoon, while working to support his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby pond.He dropped his

46、tools and ran to the pond. There, up to his neck in the water, was a terrified boy, crying and struggling to free himself. Obviously the boy did not know how to swim. Fleming jumped into the pond and quickly swam toward the boy. He saved the boy from what could have been a terrible death.The next da

47、y, a very cool carriage pulled up to the Scotsmans house. A well-dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Fleming saved the day before.“I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my sons life.”“No, I cant accept any payment for what I did,” the Scottish f

48、armer replied, waving off the offer.At that moment, the farmers own son came to the door of the farmhouse, confused by who was visiting them.“Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.“Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.“Ill make you a deal. Let me take him with me. I promise you that I will give him a go

53、m Beijing Chenjinglun High School says he is a lucky boy. Hes happy that hes sitting the senior high school entrance exam (中考) in 2014 instead of 2016.On Oct 22, Beijing Municipal Commission of Education (北京市教委) announced that, from 2016, the English scores in the senior high school entrance exam wi

54、ll be reduced from 120 to 100. Of the 100 points, the listening ability scores will increase to 50. Meanwhile, the points for Chinese will increase from 120 to 150.“The change wont affect me. I feel so luck because English is my strongest subject,” said Wang.Why such a change? It places the importan

55、ce on Chinese in our study, and reduces students pressure, said Li Yi, spokesman of the commission.“The change will also push us to pay attention to the practical usage of English,” said Li. “ Students will be encouraged to learn to understand English menus and read English news on mobile phones.”Th

56、ere isnt news that other cities will have the same change. But several places are making changes to English tests in the college entrance exams.For example, Shandong is considering taking out the listening part of the English exam in its gaokao.But, “being tested for less points doesnt mean the subj

57、ect can be taken lightly.,” Bai Ping wrote in China Daily.English has long been the worlds most commonly used language. Former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji once said: “In a globalizing economy, if you cannot interact with foreighers, how can one be part of the world economy?”Wang Jiaming said he under
