14、s(信號). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its import to kno

15、w that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a wh

16、ite light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And its been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the colo

17、r with the longest wavelength(波長) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料

18、) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, dont get so mad at them, theyve certainly come a long wa

22、 a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personall

23、y consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks

24、 and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves（奴隸）.Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture

25、and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring（量） the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it s

26、eems that the first clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable（可靠的） ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of

27、 antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own ho

28、me. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit（收益）?1According to the passage, collecting antique clocks_.Acan hardly keep the value of your savingsBwill cost much of your savingsCmay increase your wealthDneeds your bravery2By

31、cDhouses where statesmen meet regularly5The purpose of the passage is_.Ato introduce the culture of antique clocksBto offer some advice on collecting antique clocksCto compare different ways to make a future profitDto explain convenient and reliable ways of telling timeC15、There is an old story abou

32、t a king and his daughter. The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king sad. Salt is a simple thing, and it is very common. So the king thought his daughter didnt care about him. But the king was wrong. Salt might

33、 be common, but it is very important. Throughout history, salt has caused wars. So why do people care so much about salt?Salt has many uses. Our bodies need salt. If we dont have enough, our body cant work properly. We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. We also use salt to produce other produc

34、ts. Products like paper, glass, rubber and soap depend on salt. But for many years, salts most important job was preserving(保存)food.Like other living things, most bacteria(細菌)that cause food to spoil need water to survive. Salt absorbs large amounts of water, so most bacteria cannot live in a salty

35、environment. As a result, salt has the ability to preserve almost anything. For much of human history, this ability has made salt treasured. Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt. Even today, we compare hardworking, useful people to salt by calling them the salt of the earth.For

36、 centuries, salt was also hard to get. The combination(組合)of usefulness and rarity made it extremely expensive. Since almost everyone needed salt, the salt trade was an important business. Salt could even be used like money. In fact, the word salary(工資)comes from the word salt. And valuable people a

37、re still described as being worth their salt. Today, salt is easy to get. It is no longer expensive, but it is still both important and useful.1In the first paragraph, the writer is trying to make readers .Abecome interested in the old story Bunderstand the importance of saltCfall in love with salt

38、Dunderstand the daughters love to salt2Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?ASalt is very common, but it has many uses.BSalt was so valuable that it was once used like money.CAlthough salt is cheap now, its still important and usefulDWe can use salt to produce all the products

39、 we need.3Whats the meaning of the underlined word rarity?Athe quality of being rare Bthe quality of being importantCthe quality of being common Dthe quality of being usefuD16、Qi Haoran, a Junior Grade One student at a High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the p

40、ast winter holiday and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign（光盤行動）.These students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million pe

41、ople around the world still havent got enough to eat? Please dont waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems

42、 with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.Chinese people are well-known for being hospitable（好客的）and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.Luckily, the campa

43、ign has got a lot of support. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take

44、 leftovers home.To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. Its important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi.

49、mpany.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like 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 Euro

50、peans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usually 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 qu
