“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium (千年), was made up of three parts —— “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”．Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork．
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892．His parents died when he was a child．Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon．
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I．In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology (神话) for The Rings．As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers．The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”．
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural (乡村的) class．Hobbits live in hillside holes．One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏儒)．On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible．
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft (草稿)．The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son．The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937．
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation．Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers — new and old — after their publication．
1.What can we learn from the text?
A．“The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium．
B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works．
C．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English．
D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa．
2.What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas．
B．Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong．
C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles．
D．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves．
3.Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A．One of Tolkien’s students． B．Stanley Unwin’s son．
C．Allen & Unwin． D．Bilbo Baggins．
4.What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer．
B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium．
C．A famous professor at Oxford University．
D．The power of the magic ring．
5.Which of the following shows the right order of Mr．J．R．R．Tolkien’s life experience?
a．He had his “The Hobbit” published．
b．He became a member of the Inklings．
c．He served in World WarⅠ
d．He became an undergraduate at Oxford．
e．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world．
f．He moved to England to live with his aunt．

Three Yale University professors agreed in a discussion that the automobile was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No. 1 in this century”. Besides polluting the air and overcrowding the cities, cars are involved in more than half the disastrous accidents, and they contribute to heart disease “because we won’t walk anywhere any more,” said Richard Weeinaman, professor of medicine and public health.
Speaking of many of those man-made dangers of the automobile, Arthur W. Galson, professor of biology, said it was possible to make a kerosene-burning turbine car that would “lessen smog by a very large factor”. But he expressed doubt whether Americans were willing to give up moving about the countryside at 90 miles per hour in a large vehicle. “America seems wedded to the motor car—every family has to have at least two, and one has to be a convertible (敞篷汽车) with 300 horsepower,” professor Galson continued. “Is this the way of life that we choose because we treasure these values?”
For professor Sears, part of the blame lies with “a society that regards profit as a supreme value, under the illusion that anything that’s technically possible is, therefore, morally justified”. Professor Sears also called the country’s dependence on its modern automobiles “terrible economics” because of the large horsepower used simply “moving one individual to work”. But he admitted that Americans have painted themselves into a corner by allowing the national economy to become so dependent on the automobile industry.
“The solution,” Dr Weeinerman said, “is not finding a less dangerous fuel but a different system of inner city transportation. Because of the increasing use of cars, public transportation has been allowed to wither (衰弱) and grow worse, so that if you can’t walk to where you want to go, you have to have a car in most cities,” he declared. This, in turn, Dr Weeinerman contended, is responsible for the “arteriosclerosis (动脉硬化)” of public roads, for the pollution of the inner city and for the middle-class movement to the suburbs.
1.The main idea of the passage is that .
A. Americans are used to travelling by cars
B. American public transportation is growing worse
C. American car industry caused disastrous road accidents
D. American people’s health is threatened by automobiles
2.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. Americans prefer cars to anything else
B. Americans are interested in fast automobiles
C. kerosene-burning engines cause more problems
D. kerosene-burning engines are green transportation
3.In Paragraph 3, Professor Sears implies that .
A. technology is always good for people
B. technology is a sword with two sides
C. more attention should be paid to social effects
D. US doesn’t care about the environment at all

Shanghai is the largest city in China with well-developed business and industry, and also holds a leading place in China's arts, sciences and education. About eleven million people make their homes in Shanghai. This enormous city spreads out along the banks of the Huang Pu River, which flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River about fourteen miles north.
Shanghai began as a fishing village in the 11th century, but by the mid-18th century it was an important area for growing cotton. After 1842 when China lost the Opium War with Great Britain, the British realized that Shanghai was in an excellent location to serve as a seaport for the densely populated Yangtze River Plain. They forced the Chinese government to allow English traders to settle on the wastelands outside the
city walls. Later, French, American, and Japanese traders also came to Shanghai and were allowed to live in certain territorial zones without being under the Chinese laws. The foreigners built whole new sections of Shanghai, including homes, stores, factories, and office buildings. Thousands of Chinese poured into Shanghai in search of jobs, most of whom settled in the old part of the city. As a result of all the foreigners, Shanghai became greatly influenced by Western culture.
During the 1900s, opium sales along with the gambling brought in big profits. After the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the Nationalist Chinese government took over the city. In 1949, Shanghai was liberated and administrated under the Communist Chinese government. Since the 1990s, Shanghai has developed quickly and has become a new international metropolis in China and will host the World Expo in 2010.
1. The British first wanted to settle Shanghai because .
A. they wanted to build stores and factories here
B. they thought the place was beautiful and fit for living
C. they realized that it was a very good location for a seaport
D. they wanted to take control of the Yangtze River Plain
2. Which of the following statements about Shanghai in the 1900s is True?
A. It was an important centre for growing cotton.
B. Shanghai was important only, because it was a big seaport city.
C. Opium and cotton sales brought in huge profits.
D. Foreign settlers in Shanghai were free from Chinese laws.
3. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Shanghai' development into an international city.
B. Certain territorial zones for foreigners in Shanghai.
C. Brief history of Shanghai from the 11th century to the early 20th.
D. The influence of western culture on Shanghai.
4. Which of the following can replace the word "metropolis"(bold in last para.)?
A. seaport city B. big city
C. capital city D. developing city
