It was a cheap self-service place with long table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.‎ When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate.‎ I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt angrier. I thought, well, I should have the last piece. And I got it.‎ The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There is something wrong with the woman,” Everybody looked at me. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that I had eaten. There was mine, just under my newspaper.‎ ‎( ) 6. Last Friday the writer ____.‎ A. went shopping with her husband ‎ B. had been very busy and needed some time to recover ‎ C. wanted a newspaper and some chocolate to take home to her family ‎ D. bought a newspaper and some chocolate so that she could keep a place ‎ at the table ‎( ) 7. In which order did the writer do the following things?‎ ‎ a. Went into a coffee shop. b. Got a cup of coffee,‎ ‎ c. Started to eat some chocolate. d. Did some shopping.‎ ‎ e.

Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. What’s more, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science. And if you want to study oceanography, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place which is near the ocean.‎ Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country, so I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.‎ California is a nice state. Northern California especially has very good weather.‎ ‎ As for me, I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Mary land. These states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not so perfect as that in California, but is still quite nice. My favourite of America is the Midwest. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. Besides, there are many good universities, too.‎ Also you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the different areas. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature, peace and quiet? Then you’d better stay away from America’s larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it.‎ ‎( ) 11. From the first paragraph we can infer that in the USA .‎ ‎ A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities ‎ ‎ B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places ‎ ‎ C. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places ‎ D. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places ‎ ‎( ) 12.what should be considered first if you want to study in the USA.‎ ‎ A.

California is the worst place to live in C. California is a state with different climates  D. California is a small state in the USA ‎( )14. The writer likes Middle America best because .‎ ‎ A. the weather is fine here B. he feels the real character of the nation here ‎ C. the life is full of excitement D. he likes sunshine and hates snow ‎ ‎( ) 15. The passage mainly .‎ A. gives us some advice on studying in America ‎ B. tells us something about American universities ‎ C. lets us know about America ‎ D. describes the scenery of America ‎ D Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country. ‎ In the 1840s, the main crop, potatoes were affected by disease and about 750, 000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.‎ For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.‎ The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly, Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.‎ ‎( ) 16. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?‎ A. How the Irish fought against the English.‎ B. How two “Irelands” came into being? ‎ C. How Ireland gained independence.‎ D. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.‎ ‎( ) 17.What differences does life in the cities have between that in the countryside?‎ ‎ A. life in the cities goes at a quieter and slower pace.‎ ‎ B. life in the countryside goes at a quieter and slower pace.‎ ‎ C. life in the cities is the same as that in the countryside.‎ ‎ D. life in the countryside is poorer than that in the cities.‎ ‎( ) 18. We learn from the text that in Ireland _____.‎ A. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside B. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker D. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline(下降) in population ‎ ‎( ) 19. the last paragraph is mainly about____________.‎ A．the Irish character B．Irish culture C．Irish musical instruments D．a famous Irish writer ‎( ) 20. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Ireland, Past and Present B. A Very Difficult History ‎ C. The Independence of Ireland D.
