When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”‎ ‎ “To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.‎ ‎ After a long time, the car finally arrived at the hotel. “You should pay me fifteen dollars,” the car driver said to the young man. “What! Fifteen dollars? Do you think I’m a fool? Only last week I took a car from the railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip. I won’t pay you one dollar more than I paid to the other car driver last week.”‎ ‎21．Which of the following is true?____________‎ A.The young man went past the railway station. ‎ B.The young man was working in the railway station C.The young man had just got off a train.‎ D.The you man was waiting for his friend there.‎ ‎22． What do you think of the car driver?__________‎ A.He was a nice and clever man. B. He liked to work very hard.‎ C. He was good at driving D. He was not an honest person.‎ ‎23．The driver felt very _________ when he saw the young man coming out of the railway ‎ station.‎ A.sad B. sorry C. happy D. worried ‎24．From the passage we know that the young man__________.‎ A.knew clearly how far it was from the station to the hotel.‎ B.Had been to the hotel several times.‎ C.Didn’t want to stay in this city.‎ D.Must be a stranger and didn’t know the city very well.‎ It’s 5pm on a Friday and I'm standing in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing - one of the most busiest place in Japan where more than a thousand of Tokyo’s smartly dressed people gather at eight points, ready to cross - then rush straight for each other. It looks like they must bump into each other, but It’s amazing that they all manage to reach the other side safely.‎ But the real reason I'm here is that I want to see people crash. I want businessmen to knock into each other, their umbrellas flying off their arms, and uniformed schoolchildren hitting grannies. Why may I see this now, but wouldn't have had the chance even a year ago? It’s very simple - smartphones.‎ Smartphone use is booming in Japan. In 2012, only about a quarter of Japanese used them, most being perfectly happy with their everyday mobiles. But now more than half of all Japanese now own a smartphone and the number is rising fast. But with that rise has grown another phenomenon - the smartphone walk. Those people who're staring at a phone screen adopt this kind of pace- their head down, arms outreached, looking like zombies（僵尸）trying to find human prey(猎食).‎ Surprisingly, an American named Michael Cucek who has lived here for more than 20 years told me smartphone walk probably wouldn’t be a long-term problem. Japanese phone manner is in fact better than anywhere else in the world - hardly anyone speaks on their phones on trains, and teenagers wouldn't dare broadcast music out of one. If things got truly bad at Shibuya, the police would just start shouting at people to look up.‎ But really, is the smartphone walk such an annoying problem? There's only one way ‎ to find out. So I leave the coffee shop, head down to the crossing and start typing an email, promising myself I won't look up until I get to the other side. When they start walking past me, it's my time to cross. As I step forward, the experience quickly becomes nervous - legs jump in and out of my vision without warning, while shopping bags fly towards my face before being pulled away at the last moment. I'm sure I'm going to get hit, but after a few seconds I relax. It’s OK. Everyone's reacting for me.‎ I expect to see two smartphone walkers just like me. But instead I find a young couple, very much in love and very much refusing to let each other’s hands go just to give way to a fool on his smartphone. The girl gives me such a look of dislike that I quickly apologize and rush round them. That look was enough to ensure I'll never be smartphone walking again.‎ ‎25．From paragraph 1, we can know _____________.‎ A. people at Shibuya crossing always bump into each other.‎ B. more than a thousand of people gather at Shibuya crossing every day.‎ C. more than a thousand of people are ready to rush in a competition every day.‎ D. more than a thousand of people at Shibuya crossing make it a busy one in Japan.‎ ‎26．Why does the author stand in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing?‎ A. Because he is waiting for somebody.‎ B. Because he can have a good view from there.‎ C. Because he wants to see what would happen because of smartphones.‎ D. Because it’s interesting to see businessmen’s umbrellas flying off their arms ‎27．How does Michael Cucek find smartphone walk in Japan?‎ A. He found it by accident when he lives here.‎ B.

This can be applied to traditional education, or directly in a career related role. Many teachers find it such a valuable skill that they give their students a critical thinking question every day. Developing this ability can mean the difference between “just passing a course” and “understanding the material well enough” so that what students learn from it will follow them throughout their life.‎ ‎ Some characteristics of a critical thinker that teachers should encourage are;‎ ‎ -asking questions as a reaction to something read or discussed;‎ ‎ -determining the “deeper meaning” of a particular passage or topic;‎ ‎ -providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research; ‎ ‎ -reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your own opinion.‎ ‎ It is important for a student to understand more than definition（定义）. One way to truly understand an idea is to have hands-on practice, and to apply concepts learned in a textbook. Such “mini-examples” will interest a student and improve their understanding of a topic. This is how life-long skills can be developed.‎ ‎ Teachers that use critical thinking practices in the classroom can “go above and beyond” by asking questions that promote a greater comprehension of the material. Instructors should be able to challenge students and create an environment where they are analyzing material and gaining a better understanding. This will make the classroom move in a direction for learning. It can also help students to stay ‎ interested in the course material, as they always have a new concept to consider.‎ ‎ At the same time, students benefit greatly from developing critical thinking skills. When learned early on, these skills can be used throughout their college education. Students can understand how to consider a topic, analyze it, and discuss it from different points of view. These are skills that will benefit them when they are part of the workforce as well.‎ ‎30．Who are the intended readers of the passage?‎ A. Teachers. B. Parents.‎ C. Examines. D. Headmasters.‎ ‎31．Critical thinking can best be described as .‎ A. a system to improve people’s memory B. a method to expand people’s knowledge C. a way to increase people’s ability to understand D. a process to make people more critical of others ‎32．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to .‎ A. the ability B. the difference C. the course D. the material ‎33．The author thinks “mini-examples” are useful because they .‎ A. assist students to better remember definitions B. give students hands-on practice C. help to keep students interested D. help students develop concepts Bad teeth can be painful -- and worse. They can even be deadly. Infections (感染) of the gums (牙龈) and the teeth can cause bacteria (细菌) to go into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk.‎ For example, in 2007, doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care (牙齿保健) he needed. He was twelve years old.‎ Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk, they say, is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth.‎ But dentists say a baby's gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give the child water.‎ When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently.‎ The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (珐琅质) , the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.‎ ‎34．Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?‎ A. Concerns for Healthy Teeth of the Young B. Causes of Teeth Problem C. Importance of Healthy Teeth of All D. Solutions to Teeth Problem ‎35．What's the main idea of paragraph 4 and 5?‎ A. How to develop babies' teeth. B. How to keep babies' teeth clean C. Why to protect babies' teeth D. Why to keep babies' teeth clean ‎36．The passage indicates that ______.‎ A. Enamel is most widely used to protect teeth in the world B. Breast milk can cure babies' bad teeth C. Bad teeth may affect the health of adults and the young D. Babies' teeth should be brushed once per day ‎37．The writer uses the boy's death as an example to show that ______.‎ A. not only adults but the young may suffer from teeth problem B. the doctors should be responsible for the case C. babies with bad teeth can easily die ‎ D. the boy was not fed with his breast milk 三、完形填空 The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.
