1.  　There are stock markets（股票市场）in

large cities in many countries. Stock

markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai

and New York are among the largest and most

well-known. The stock, also called stock

exchange, is a place where people can buy or

sell shares of a factory or company. And

each share means certain ownership of a

factory or company.
  Different people go to stock markets. Some

are rich, who want to get more money than

they have. Others are not very rich, who buy

stocks to try to become rich. Still others

buy stocks as part of their plan to save

money.
  Of course, investing（投资）money in the

stock market is not the safest way to make

money. No one can tell exactly whether the

shares will be doing well. The factory or

company may do badly. Then the stocks will

go down, and the investors will lose money.

The stock may go up or down for a number of

untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to

go up, but sometimes even if a factory or

company does a good job, the stock may still

go down.
  No wonder going to the stock market is

often compared to gambling（赌博）.All are

eager to make money by gambling in the stock

market. Factories and companies that need

money are pleased that so many people are

willing to gamble. Indeed, the stock market

is an attractive and complex part of the

business world.
1). If you are a good investor, _____in the

stock market.
A. you can always make money
B. you can tell exactly when the stock goes

up or down

3). If a factory or company does a bad job,

the stock price will probably _____.
A. keep in the same level

2.        As you are students of English, it

’s very possible that you’ll be interested

in England. That’s where the language was

first spoken. But England is often called by

other names. This often confuses people and

I wonder if you know what these names mean.

So, now I would like to tell you about this

matter of names. I believe that you have

heard people use the names—England, Britain

or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of

these names means. If you look at a map of

Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one

larger island off the northwest coast, one

smaller and many tiny ones. These make up

what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛

). The largest island of the British Isles

is Britain. It is also called Great Britain.

The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).

Britain is divided into three parts:

Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes

the Word “England” is used instead of

“Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what

is Britain now used to be three different

countries. People in These different

countries spoke different language. Over

many years the three countries became one.

England is the largest and richest of the

three and it has the most people. So the

English people take it for granted that

their own name stands for the whole island.  

         
      There’s another thing that confuses

people: sometimes you may hear people say “

the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and

Northern Ireland”. That is official name of

the country. Northern Ireland is only one

sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of

the island is an independent state, called

the Republic of Ireland. So we have the

names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great

Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great

Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you

know what each of them means?
1). English was first spoken in_______.
A. Britain
B. England
C. Great Britain
D. Ireland
      满分：4  分  得分：4
2). Britain is divided into______.
A. England, Britain, and Wales
B. England, Scotland, and Wales
C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain
D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). According to the passage, which of the

following statements is true?
A. Wales is the richest of the three
B. Scotland is the largest of the three
C. Sometimes English is used instead of

Britain
D. Britain is the only name of the largest

island of British Isles

      满分：4  分  得分：4
4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and

Northern Ireland is______.
A. part of Britain
B. part of British Isles
C. the official name of the whole country

England
D. the largest country of all mentioned in

the passage
      满分：4  分  得分：4
5). Which of the following is an independent

country?
A. Wales
B. Scotland
C. Northern Ireland
D. The Republic of Ireland

3.        Hotlines have become common in

China. Some radio broadcasting stations use

hotlines to encourage the listeners to take

part in the talk shows.
      That's a good idea. Yet, the fact is,

some people do nothing but break the whole

programme.
      Some people know little about the

topic under discussion. Sometimes they do

not even know what the host(主持人)is

talking about. So the host has to tell the

caller what the show is about .Usually the

caller will ask a few questions which

express his hope and show his ignorance(无知

).Then the host has to answer and explain-

how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.
      It seems that some people phone the

hotlines in fun. They just want to let the

listeners hear them. They don't care what

the topic is, whether they themselves are

interested in or how silly they appear to

be.
      I'm totally bored(厌烦)by those people

. It's necessary for radio stations to

improve the hotline programmes. In my

opinion, if a caller doesn't know what is

going on, the operator should not let the

caller take part in it.

1). The sentence, "Some people do nothing

but break the whole programme" may tell us

that ______.
A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong

way
B. it is a fact
C.  it is a good idea
D. some people have unclear thoughts
      满分：4  分  得分：4
2). The host has to answer and explain, ____

.
A. for the host works hard
B. because of the caller's ignorance
C. for the host likes talking to the caller
D. because of a lot of questions raised by

the caller
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). The passage doesn't tell us the idea

________ .
A. that some listeners phone the hotlines in

fun
B. that some people just want to be heard by

others
C. that some people who don't care what the

topic is must have realized that they appear

to be silly
D. what the hotline programmes are
      满分：4  分  得分：4
4). The author thinks that ________
A. Hotlines are totally unnecessary
B. All callers make those programmes

interesting
C. Hosts should ignore some silly questions
D. Operators should choose who to connect
      满分：4  分  得分：4
5). Which of the following is not true?
A. Some people know little about the topic

under discussion.
B. Some people do not know what the host is

talking about
C. Some people do not know what the show is

about
D. The writer tells us that the host is

silly.
