In rainy London, always carry your “brolly”

BIG Ben, the Queen, a plate of ham and eggs-no, no, no. If you’re looking for a symbol of Britain, only one thing passes the test-the umbrella.

Now, I know what you’re thinking—we have rain in China and we have umbrellas too. Certainly, I will never forget the way it rained when I lived in Beijing：the sweets became instant rivers and the sky flashed with lightning for hours on end. People dove for cover under bin bags, the shops were emptied of their plastic ponchos(斗篷)within seconds，and I found myself soaked(浸透)from head to foot, my poorly-chosen skirt and T-shirt now totally see-through. This would never have happened in Britain.

For one thing, during my year in Beijing, it only really rained at about 10 times. But although we never get a Beijing-style washout in London, the drizzle(毛毛雨)that does fall is all but constant. Even when the sky is perfectly blue, you can be sure it's going to cloud over and start drizzling again within the hour. And when it does, there is chaos. Trains stop, drains(下水道)block, and buses break down as if this was the first time the local authorities had seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds.

So—as with so many things in the UK-it’s up to ordinary people to sort themselves out. No self-respecting Briton will ever leave home without his “brolly” ---as the umbrella is affectionately(亲切地)known.

A brolly has hundreds of uses, even on rare rain-free days. A real gentleman of London will use his umbrella as a walking stick. A traditional game of cricket can be played using an umbrella as a hat. Nor do you ever have to be afraid of robbers-your umbrella doubles as a defensive weapon.

There is no brolly more British than my own. But it’s not from London or Manchester or any where in the UK. It was a gift from my Chinese teacher—in Beijing. How fitting that my No. l symbol of Brutishness-like almost everything in

- 6 -

Britain-was made in China.

36. The author mentioned her rainy weather experience in Beijing to show that_____

A. many foreigners have embarrassing moments living in Beijing B. British people are more used to rainy weather than Chinese people C. the rain in Beijing is usually much heavier than the rain in London D. both Beijing and Londoners have unpleasant experience with sudden rain 37. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to “ ______ ”. A. it only raining a dozen times per year B. sudden rain leading to traffic troubles C. people being well-prepared on rainy days D. people getting extremely wet on rainy days

38. The underlined word “chaos” in paragraph 5 probably means_______ A. disorder B. excitement C. joy D. doubt 39. The tone of the articles is_______. A. annoyed B. optimistic C. objective D. Humorous 40. What is the main idea of the article?

A. Beijing-style rain and London-style drizzles both bring chaos B. Why the umbrella is the best symbol of Britain C. Everything in Britain was made in China. D. What British people use a brolly for.

A woman planning “Harry Potter night” at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros(华纳兄弟).

The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe(侵犯)its rights.

The club will now hold two “Genetic Wizard nights” for Halloween. On her blog，

- 7 -

Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer.

Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a password—while a “Sorting Hat” would decide the seating plan.

After Warner Bros learned about the event, he wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: “While we are delighted that you are such a fun of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Wamer’s rights.”

The letter added: “Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a generic wizard/Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant.”

Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的)and creative”.

The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories.

The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio’s support, it says.

A. the sold tickets to whoever attends the supper club B. JK Rowling didn’t approve of their doing so C. the Underground Restaurant charged too much D. the use of the name infringed Warner’s rights

A. a single parent B. the maker of the Harry Potter films C. a cooking-book writer D. the researcher of Harry Potter films

A. Ms Marmite Lover was creative and she is good at cooking B. Ms Marmite Lover attempted to find excuse for what she had done C. JK Rowling was sure to agree with what a creative woman did D.

A. “Sorting Hat” is the password to go through “Diagon Alley” B. the charges that the guests pay for the dinner include alcohol C. Ms Marmite Lover was not pleased with Warner Bros

Two-thirds of the world’s major rivers have now been disrupted(中断)with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to stole water and provide power. In the US，there are more than 85，000 dams，disrupting large and small rives, and in most cases transforming natural flow．The most famous of these，the Hoover Dam, constructed in the l930's，is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.

Dams, besides all their attractive benefits, also have negative impacts. Creating a reservoir(水库) means a large area must be flooded. Communities may lose their land, houses and culturally impotent sites.

Environmentally, the new reservoir can be a paradise for wildlife, especially birds. However, it can cause greenhouse gas emissions(排放)and poison the water for fish. Also, the dramatic rise and fall of water levels during dam releases is too extreme for plains and animals to cope with, resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs. Fish that lay their eggs in the shallows, for example, may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry.

Dams don’t just block water flow. They also prevent fish migrations, and are a barrier to sediment (沉淀物)flows. Instead of rushing downriver, sediments get backed up against the dam wall, which cause the reservoir level to increase over

time．However, sediments which are rich in nutrients have become a problem. The fertility of the entire system can be influenced, with soils lost during seasonal rains not being replaced.

Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas(三角洲), often host to large cities，which are sinking into the oceans. Groundwater is being extracted to feed the city, causing the urban weight to sink and sediments washed away by the ocean are no longer being replaced. The result is that sea level rise in cities from Shanghai to Alexandria.

46. What effects does creating a reservoir have on people’s life?

a. People will see fewer birds near the rivers．

b. Farmers below the dam may have less water to irrigate their fields c. Visitors can’t see some cultural relics anymore． d. More conflicts and wars over water will break out e. More kinds of fish will become extinct in the future A. b, c B. c, e C. b, e D. a, c 47. With many dams built across rivers, fish will_______

A. find more places to lay their eggs B. feed on more sediment rich in nutrients

C. face a more dangerous living habitat D. find it easier to deal with the rise of water

48. How can dams influence the cities like Shanghai?

A. Its entire system will be influenced. B. It will lie below sea level in the future

C. The rainy season will last longer. D. Rich soils will be washed away 49. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Environmental benefits of dams B. Cultural loss of dams C. Economical gain of dams D. Environmental loss of dams. 50. Where can we most probably read this passage?

A. In a travel magazine B. In a science report C. In a personal diary D. In a chemistry textbook.

IV阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，满分10分）

It’s difficult to find a piece of clothing as widely accepted, worn and loved the world over as jeans. The classic symbol of the American West is now a main item in wardrobe around the world. But why?

The reason for jeans’ success has as much as to do with their cultural meaning as their physical construction.

Invented by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in 1873,jeans were first designed as work wear for laborers on the farms and mines of America’s Western states in the late 19 century. They proved extremely comfortable and durable（耐用的）and were soon in high demand.

But the first explosion of jeans into world of casual-wear(便装) had more to do with what jeans had come to symbolize.

When they did start to be worn as casual wear, jeans became a symbol of rebellion—the spirit captured by Marion Brando in his 1953 film The Wild One and by James two years later in Rebel Without a Cause.

Jeans were soon banned in schools from coast to coast which only added to the passion with which teenagers embraced them.

But jeans’ popularity kept growing also because they put different classes on a level playing field. They were affordable and hard-wearing, looked good worn as well as new, and didn’t have to be washed often or ironed at all. They conformed to the body in a way that matched even the most finely tailored clothes. This became especially important for women because then, and now, they paid more attention to fit. This versatility（多用途）,the ability to become all things to all people ,is the secret to jeans’ survival as a wardrobe item.

51. By whom were jeans worn at first?(No more than 15 words)

52. What added to the teenagers’ passion for jeans?(No more than 10 words) 53. What will be the best title for this passage?(No more than 10 words) . What does the underlined word “embraced” mean?(No more than 3 words) 55. Do you like wearing jean? Why or why not? Please give at least two reasons. (No more than 25 words)
