The bicycle is the common sight in our daily life, as a great many Chinese use one every day. But you may not know its role in strengthening international relations, as it did in the case of US President George W. Bush’s visit to China .
President Bush arrived in Beijing on November 19, 2005 after he finished the APEC meeting in South Korea.He met with Chinese top leaders and achieved agreements on trade, Taiwan issue and more.
Although Bush’s trip was short as 40 hours, he managed to spare a moment to do some cycling. On November 20, he rode up and down a steep path at Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing’s suburbs.
Six young Chinese cyclists accompanied the president, who was dressed in a Chinese training uniform with the “Beijing 2008” logo (标志). He did not go along the arranged route and chose a more zigzag(曲折的) hiking path.
“How do you say, ‘take it easy on the old man’?” Bush joked to his partners before setting out.
“Compared with my bike path on the Crawford ranch (农场) , this one is greater and really difficult,” said Bush when his 45-minute ride ended. He said he will come to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.
This is not Bush’s first cycle ride in Beijing. In 1975 at the age of 29, he visited the Chinese capital for the first time, when his father was head of the US liaison office (联络处) in Beijing, which Bush described as “fantastic”.
However, observers said Bush’s ride is much more than just his favorite pastime. It expressed friendliness with people in China, where the bicycle is an important part of life and culture.
According to the Washington Post, one of the major newspapers in the US, this was a specially arranged activity by the US Government, for they want to send the Chinese a sign of friendship. “The president is by no means hostile (有敌意的) to China,” it said.

Food is one of the necessities in our daily life. It serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between countrysides and cities within one country.
Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.
Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.
Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.
1.According to the passage, sharing bread______.
A. can help to develop unity B. indicates a lack of food
C. is a custom unique to rural areas D. has its roots in birthday celebrations
2.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.
A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons
C. using examples D. describing processes
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The custom of sharing food. B. The specific meaning of food.
C. The role of food in ceremonies. D. The importance of food in culture.

As we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought
with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as
time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very
happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter
what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day
last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money
cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another
thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us
very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him
from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that
money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes,
but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful.
1.According to the passage, it is quite impossible for you to buy ______.
A. true friendship B. real diamond
C. a large house D. an expensive car
2.Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?
A. Money cannot buy time and love.
B. Money is not powerful at all.
C. Money can buy people material things.
D. Money doesn't mean everything.
3.Through the passage the writer wants to tell people not to ______.
A. make money B. waste money
C. save money D. worship(崇拜) money
4.From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need
something ______.
A. spiritual B. beautiful C. lovely D. useful

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
As the mobile phones so widely appear in our daily life, someone said it would be cool if you didn’t have a mobile phone nowadays. It might be true to some extent, but as for an adult, a mobile means contact. It connects your work, relatives, friends, etc. It should do great deeds for us.
Months ago, my uncle gave his dear son a phone, because my nephew’s school is far from his home. He can only come back once a term, and the phones haven’t been so expensive yet. However, someone has criticized (批评) the young people for playing on mobiles, but not using. They are fond of sending messages, taking pictures and so on. They buy expensive, high level and fashion types for showing. They play on the mobiles day in and day out ….. Holy cow!
So, what happens to youngsters around you? Do they have a phone? What do they use it for? Do you think it’s necessary for teenagers who are still in school to have a phone?
POSTER 1:
In my view, mobile phones are only a tool for communication purpose, just like any other tools which have the potential (潜力) to be misused. In my opinion, I can see young people using it for security reason, emergency purpose, etc. If the parents can afford to pay big phone bills for their kids, well, that’s their business, like the old saying goes, “live and let live.”
--- Mary Smith
POSTER 2:
From psychological (心理学的) point of view, teenagers are more likely to be relaxed or pleasure-oriented. They would like to make something different. Buying brands that are considered “COOL” is important to them. They want others to like and admire themselves, and sometimes, even exaggerate(夸大)their own personality to show off. This can be seen as a kind of psychology during this certain range of age.
--- Dick Gates
Currently, people should tend to be more sociable, and age should not be seen as a barrier for teenagers to own their phones. They also need to set trends on the social circuit (社交圈). But here parents should play an important role in controlling their children about how to use the phones more properly.
1. We can learn from the first sentence of the passage that ________.
A. people admire those who don’t have mobile phones
B. people don’t like to have mobile phones nowadays
C. mobile phones are too popular among people now
D. mobile phones are not as useful as before
2. Why are some teenagers criticized according to the second paragraph?
A. They use mobile phones for playing instead of using.
B. They don’t use mobile phones for their study.
C. They play “Holy Cow” games in mobile phones.
D. They buy expensive, fashionable mobile phones.
3.By saying “live and let live”, Mary Smith means that _________.
A. teenagers shouldn’t use mobile phones
B. parents should buy mobile phones for their children
C. teenagers can use mobile phones if their parents don’t mind
D. teenagers should use mobile phones for communication
4.What is Dick Gates’ attitude towards whether teenagers should use mobile phones?
