Street Markets around the World

There are many ways of shopping. You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional—at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them:

There are many "floating markets" in Asia; perhaps the most unusual is in Thailand, at a place called Damnoen Saduak. It's open from six in the morning to the noon every day. People sell fresh fruit from their boats.

Many Belgians(比利時(shí)人) say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the home of a colorful flower market. It's open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there's a wonderful bird market!

One of the world's most famous markets is in Mexico City (墨西哥城)—the Sonora Market. You can buy toys, birds, herbs and medicine. There are all kinds of things. It's open every day from early in the morning till late at night.

In England, every weekend, thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden Market—it's the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes. Many people also go there for fun.

SPACE is a lonely place. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers from home, astronauts have a hard life. It stands to reason that, once in a while, they need to have a good cry. But this is a lot harder than it sounds.
We still know very little about space, and about living in zero gravity. In fact, we are discovering new things every time astronauts take to the skies (and beyond). As The Atlantic reported in January, crying is not all that simple in space. This is because when a person normally cries,  gravity makes their tears move downwards. But in a spacecraft, this is not the case. Here, there is no gravity, which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating around. This means that, strangely, when you cry your tears have nowhere to go. As a result, they just stick to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this. “Tears,” as he said, “don’t fall off your eye… they just kind of stay there. ” This can be quite painful. In space, your eyes get very dry, and the added moisture is irritating (氣人的). Sometimes, things get even weirder(更怪異的). The astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough, they “break free of the eye and float around”.
No one can be quite sure why we cry. Why should water in our eyes have anything to do with feeling sad? If you stop to think about it, crying is a very strange thing indeed. And now, thanks to the wonders of space, it just got even stranger.
【小題1】The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us that       .

A．living in space is lonely

B．it’s easy to feel sad in space

C．it’s hard to cry in space

D．nobody wants to live in space

【小題2】If astronauts cry in spacecraft, their tears will       .

A．move downwards	B．move upwards
C．go out of the window	D．stick to their eyes

【小題3】Astronauts feel       if tears are always in their eyes.

A．sad

B．comfortable

C．happy

D．uncomfortable

【小題4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．In space our eyes are very wet.

B．Tears will float around if they are big enough in space.

C．People know everything about living in zero gravity.

D．Gravity makes people’s tears move upwards in space.

用括號(hào)內(nèi)所給動(dòng)詞的適當(dāng)形式填空，必要時(shí)可加助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。
Did you have a favorite plastic toy when you were a child? Did it break? Did your parents throw it away? Well, I know where it is. It’s floating(漂浮)in the Pacific Ocean. Well, let me explain how it 89 (get) there.
Many countries put their garbage in the Pacific. Most of the garbage sinks. But plastic floats and  90 (move). The North Pacific Gyre(環(huán)流) pulls things towards the middle. So, all the plastic ends up in the same place. One scientist says the area looks just like “plastic soup”.
This “plastic soup”  91  (discover) about ten years ago. Since that time the amount of plastic in his area  92 (increase) a lot. And this plastic will not just go away, it takes 400 years for plastic to degrade(分解). And, even worse, fish and sea birds are eating the plastic. They think it looks like food. The plastic doesn’t kill them directly, but the fish (who are not smart!) think they are full. So, they stop   93 (eat) and die of hunger. Dolphins and whales will also eat plastic and die.
Governments are starting to work together to clean up this area, but it will take many years. That’s why we should always try  94 (recycle) plastic... even our old toys.
答案： 【小題1】_______【小題2】_______ 【小題3】_______【小題4】_______ 【小題5】______【小題6】_______

We live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are troubled by sounds over which we may have little or no control: car and house alarms, motorcycles, loudspeakers, even movie previews.

We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud that you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone.

As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. A series of studies conducted in 2002 indicated that even moderate (緩和的) background noise can interfere with how they learn language. In fact, children in classrooms on the noisy side of a school had lower reading scores than those whose classes were on the quiet side.

Noise-induced (噪音誘發(fā)的) hearing loss can come about in two ways: from a brief exposure to a very loud noise or from consistent exposure to moderate-level noise. Thus, there is much concern about the lasting effects of MP3 players that are turned up loud enough to block out surrounding sound, like street noise. An MP3 player at maximum volume produces about 105 decibels（分貝）— 100 times as severe as 85 decibels, where hearing damage begins.

So, before buying noise-making toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the item comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, or disable the noise-making function. Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Most iPads have a control that allows parents to set a maximum volume.

Avoid taking children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the management to turn down the volume or insist on your money back.

The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, doing puzzles, making things with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting libraries and museums.

Can you imagine astronauts' everyday life in space? They also need to eat,  sleep, exercise and relax. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently.
On Earth, we put food on a plate. Gravity holds the food down and keeps it on a place. But there is almost no gravity in space, so food can float （漂?。゛way, and astronauts must eat carefully.
Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they won't float away at night.
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth,  your legs carry your body,  but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs often. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.
After a day's work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families on the radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air.
【小題1】What does the underlined word "gravity" mean in Chinese?

A．平衡

B．引力

C．磁性

D．重力

【小題2】Why do astronauts tie the sleeping bag to a wall?

A．Because in that way they won't float away.

B．Because that makes them sleep well.

C．Because they can't get to sleep if they don't do that.

D．Because the sleeping bag is not safe enough.

【小題3】What's the main idea of the passage?

A．It is about the importance of gravity.

B．It is about astronauts' everyday life in space.

C．It is about the differences between space and Earth.

D．It is about how to avoid （避免） floating away while sleeping.

1.I don’t think I can talk fluently because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words. 2.When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? 3.When I am talking, I can’t help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this . 4.I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. 5.Should I talk in American English or British English?

A．Look at the audience (觀眾) . Looking at and talking to one person in the audience helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one. B．Don’t speak too fast! The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停頓) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying. C．Low your voice! Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to a relatively(相對(duì)) deep voice. D．Talk but not recite(背誦) . When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words and read or recite them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points. E. Use simple words. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways . Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their languages. F. Word works! Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手勢(shì)). G. English has no differences. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to.

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容，在文章后第 62~71小題的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或短語，并將答案填寫在標(biāo)號(hào)為 62~71 的相應(yīng)位置上。注意：每個(gè)空格只填寫1個(gè)單詞

Much meaning can be carried, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he notices that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same in daily life! If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ stare（盯著）with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite or even rude. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man look at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away from his looking, his purpose is obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.

However, the normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what his friend is speaking, to tell him that he is interested.

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. We usually find a poor liar（說謊者）looking too long at the victim, because he believes that it is a sign of honest communication to look straight in the eye. Totally wrong!

In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between lovers, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show feelings that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.

Eyes can speak
In our 1. life	A lot of feeling can be  2.  to others with our eyes. There are a lot of facts to prove it. You may not feel very well when you are  3. at more than often. This time it will make you  4.  and you will wonder whether there’s something wrong. If not, you’ll be really angry.
When you look too long at the  5.  sex	Looking too long at a girl you  6. means you wish to attract her attention. And most of the time, continuous eyes contacting is just for7.  .
When you have a   8.  with someone	If a speaker looks at the listeners at 9. , it is a kind of 10. eye contact.
So remember to look at your partner at the right time. If not, it will make others uncomfortable.

Rita stepped into the cool, moving water. She pushed a black inner tube(內(nèi)胎) in front of her. She had a worried look on her face because she had never floated down a river before.
“Let me hold your tube while you climb on,” said her father. He smiled at her. “There’s not a cloud in the sky. It’s a great day to be in the river, isn’t it?”
Rita looked out across the water. People were floating by on tubes. Some talked and laughed as they floated easily down the river. Others leaned(倚靠) back with hats pulled over their faces. None of them looked terrified.
“We’ll stay together,” said Rita’s father. “I’ll hold on to your rope(繩子).”
“Will we go very fast?” Rita asked.
“No,” said Dad. “We’ll move slowly for a while, and then it will get a little faster near the river’s bend(拐彎). Don’t worry, Rita. You’ll be fine.”
Rita looked at her tube. It gently(輕輕地) moved up and down in the water. She saw a girl of her own age float by. The girl seemed to be having fun. Suddenly Rita’s worries disappeared（消失）.
“I’m ready to climb on and ride, Dad,” she said.
