Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breather or smell. It is part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyranode Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man----brave, polite, manly and intellectual. ‎ Afamous women poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about the Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world. ‎ Historically, man’s nose had had a principalrole in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the noserefer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousyand revenge.‎ In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling----pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.‎ The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. Aperson who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.‎ For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase, to have one’s nose put out of joint, is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erassmus in 1542.‎ This is only a sample of expressions in English dealing withthe nose.

A person who holds up his nose is easier to get angry.‎ B. A person who is proud of himself is to hold up his nose.‎ C. A person who is satisfied with himself always follows others.‎ D. A person who hopes to have two noses is strong-minded.‎ ‎22. What does the underlined phrase “to be led around by the nose”mean?‎ A. To be followed by somebody.　　B. To be controlled by somebody.‎ C. To be under your nose.　　　　　D. To pay through the nose.‎ ‎23. How does a person who has his nose put out of joint feel?‎ A. Worried.　B. Pleased.　C. Proud and happy.　D. Hurt and unaccepted.‎ ‎24.

It’s clear that a nose’s function is more than breathing and smelling.‎ D. Itis not important that a nose has other functions except these two.‎ B ‎“Two yuan+ luck=5million yuan”. These eye-catching banners and posters blanket the nation. Our life has been filled with “lottery tickets”(彩票).‎ Most people become extremely happy at the mere mention of lottery tickets. Why are they so eager to buy them? Do they consider the lottery a good way to contribute to society? Or do they just seize the chance for personal gain?‎ A recent survey in major Chinese cities shows that more than 80 percent of lottery buyers take out their money with the purpose of “wining more money lack”and “Being a millionaire in a short time.”These words on an advertising leaflet may be the truly most attractive to lottery selling stations.‎ Allowing themselves the pleasure of imagination of becoming an overnight millionaire, many lottery buyerscan’t keep a cool heart. If their “investment”on which they have strong hope ends up in smoke, which is usually the case, they are likely to experience low spirits or even give up all hopes.‎ Sixteen years ago, the government of Fuzhou gave a notice forbidding all lotteries. The notice said that all lottery tickets sales in the city must be stopped to make sure a peaceful Spring Festival. Lotteries have caused a lot of criminal cases in the city. It was reported that a laid-off worker committed a robbery after using all his savings on lottery tickets and becoming penniless.‎ In another case, a young man became mentally ill when his lottery tickets turned into waste paper.‎ A comprehensive law is needed to fit the lottery industry. On the other hand, themedia must take more social duty to help people understand the reality of the lotteries. Instead of describing how a single lottery ticket changes a poor person into an overnight millonaire, advertisements should fit this goal clearly so that when people take out money they should realize that they are making a contribution to the poor.‎ Lottery have entered into common Chinese people’s lives for years. They have brought about a lot of changes to society worthy of praise.‎ We hope that in the future, lotteries can contribute even more to the development of our national economy which will light up everybody’s life.‎ ‎25.Why did the government of Fuzhou forbid lottery tickets on special holidays?‎ A. Lotteries had many ill effects on children.‎ B. People spent too much money on it.‎ C. Lotteries caused a lot of serious deaths.‎ D. People needa happy and peaceful holiday.‎ ‎26.What should the media help people to do according to the author?‎ A. To understand the reality of the lotteries.‎ B. To look into the situation of lotteries tickets.‎ C. To find out how they make a lot of money. ‎ D. To believe that they will become millionaires.‎ ‎27.What can we know from the passage?‎ A. There is no law fitting lotteries in China today.‎ B. Lotteries meet with the development of modern society.‎ C. Lotteries have many changes to society since they were born. ‎ D. It is the best way for the workers to live by buying lottery tickets.‎ ‎28.What is the purpose of the author writing the passage?‎ A. To make us know the use of lottery tickets.‎ B. To tell us totreat lottery tickets in a correct way.‎ C. To introduce the advantages of lottery tickets to us.‎ D. To tell us the importance of lottery tickets in our daily life.‎ C In your rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or decide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick themup within 5 seconds of dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds are all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria to make you sick.‎ Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If we eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, we can become sick. One of these food-born bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Earlier this year, 370 people became sick after eating peanut butter that had been polluted with Salmonella at the manufacturing factory. ‎ Salmonella are often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods carefully.‎ Being a good housekeeper is another good way to prevent infection. Even if household surfaces are washed thoroughly, they can support Salmonella for weeks. A team of scientists at Clemson University in South Carolina have tested the 5-second rule, using sandwich ingredients. First, they placed a known amount of Salmonella cells on three surfaces: wood, tile, and carpet. They then placed a slice of bread and a slice of bologna(大红肠) on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.‎ So forget the 5-second rule. If your toast lands on the floor, throw it away. Stick a fresh slice of bread in the toaster. And this time, be careful not to drop it!‎ ‎29. Which of the following statements can best describethe original meaning of“5-second rule”?‎ A. If the food is on the floor for less than 5 seconds, it’s fresh. ‎ B. If the food is on the floor for more than 5 seconds, it’s safe. ‎ C. It you finish eating the food on the floor within 5 seconds, it’s dangerous for you. ‎ D. If you pick up the food that you drop on the floor within 5 seconds, it’s safe to eat. ‎ ‎30. What can cause many diseases according to the passage?‎ A. Bacteria　B. Bread.　C. Bad habits.D　. Raw eggs.‎ ‎31. Why did the scientists at Clemson University carryout the test?‎ A. To find out whether the food is safe to eat.‎ B. To find out how long the food can be kept.‎ C. To find out whether the 5-second rule is true.‎ D. To find out how long the bacteria can live.‎ ‎32. What does the last paragraph tell us? ‎ A. Don’t eat the chicken on the floor because it’s dirty.‎ B. Don’t eat food that you have dropped on the floor.‎ C. If you are eating the food, you never drop it on the floor.‎ D. If you eat the food dropped on the floor in seconds, it’s OK. ‎ D One family, which moved from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco, had built a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.‎ The other family also marketed roses. For almost four decades the two families were neighbors, and the sons took over the farms, but then on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Although the rest of the family members were American, the father of the Japanese family had never been naturalized. As they planned to leave the country, hisneighbor made it clear that, if necessary, he would look after his friend’s nursery(花圃). It was something each family had learned in church-Love the neighbor as themselves. “You would do the same for us,”he told his Japanese friend.‎ It was not long before the Japanese family was transported to a poor landscape in Canada. A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the Japanese neighbors were in Canada, their friends worked in the greenhouses. Sometimes the father’s work could stretch to 16 and 17 hours. And then one day, when the war in Europe had ended, the Japanese family packed up and boarded a train. They were going home.‎ What would they find? The family was met at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family were shocked. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy. And the house was just as clean and welcoming as the nursery. And there on the dining room ground was one perfect red (玫瑰花蕾),just waiting to unfold-the gift of one neighbor to another.‎ ‎33. What does “the gift”in the last paragraph refer to besides t rosebud?‎ ‎①a neat and clean house ②the prosperous nursery ‎③the dependable neighbors ④the beautiful rose park A. ①and ②　B. ③and ④　C. ①,②and ③　D. ②, ③and ④‎ ‎34. What’s the topic of the passage?‎ A. Friendship B. Hardwork C. Happiness D. Honesty ‎35. Why did the neighborschoose “unfolding rosebud”to welcome the return of the Japanese?‎ A. Becauseit’s a decorative issue.‎ B. Because the roses are beautiful.‎ C. Becausethey grew roses themselves.‎ D.
