In America, the first Halloween celebrations were a way to mark the end-of-year harvest season, and the food that was served mainly consisted of homemade seasonal treats like caramel apples and mixed nuts. There were no soul cakes — or candies, for that matter — to be found.
It wasn't until the 1950s that trick-or-treating gained popularity in the US. Following the Great Depression and World War II, the suburbs were booming, and people were looking for excuses to have fun and get to know their neighbors. The old practice of souling came back to life again and was made into an excuse for kids to dress up in costumes and roam (漫游) their neighborhoods. Common trick-or-treat offerings included nuts, coins, and homemade baked goods.
That changed when the candy companies got their hands on the holiday. They had already convinced consumers that they needed candy on Christmas and Easter, and they were looking for an equally lucrative opportunity to market candy in the fall. The new practice of trick-or-treating was almost too good to be true. Manufacturers downsized candies into smaller, bite-sized packages and began marketing them as treats for Halloween. Adults were grateful to have a convenient alternative to baking, kids loved the sweet treats, and the candy companies made billions.
Today, it's hard to imagine Halloween without Skittles, chocolate bars, and the perennial candy corn debates. But when you're digging through a bag or bowl of Halloween candy this October, remember that you could have been eating soul cakes instead.
24．What did people enjoy on earlier Halloween?
A．Caramel apples. B．Soul cakes. C．Candies. D．Peanuts.
25．What probably helped make trick-or-treating popular in the US?
A．The Great Depression. B．World War II.
C．The kids’ practice. D．Christmas and Easter.
26．Which word can best replace “lucrative” in Paragraph 3?
A．Confident. B．Beneficial. C．Unforgettable. D．Changeable.
27．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Candies in America. B．Halloween Celebrations.
C．Candies and Halloween. D．Americans and Festivals.
C
In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tartan” in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
28．Women are called the weaker sex because_________.
A．women do as much as men B．sport is easier for men than for women
C．people think women are weaker than men D．in sport the two sexes are always together
29．“That at least is what people say” means people_________.
A．say other things, too B．say this but may not think so
C．don’t say this much D．only think this
30．What problems does sport have?
A．Some women athletes are give hormone injections.
B．Some women athletes are actually men.
C．Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D．It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.
31．In this passage the author implies that_________.
A．women are weaker than wen, but faster
B．women are slower than men, but stronger
C．men are not always stronger and faster than women
D．men are faster and stronger than women
D
Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film. The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull. “I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly seven miles below the surface. “T really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”
Cameron captured (获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.
32．When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?
A．When he was in his childhood.
B．After his films The Abyss and Titanic.
C．After he achieved great success in movies.
D．When he began to explore the deep sea alone.
33．What is the unexplored ocean like?
A．Small and dull. B．Boring and deserted.
C．White and attractive. D．Colorful but dangerous.
34．What do we know about James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D?
A．It is a story about Cameron’s film-making dream.
B．It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.
C．It tells us about James’ journey into Challenger Deep.
D．It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.
35．What is the best title for this passage?
A．A Film Director Exploring Deep Sea
B．The Great Dream of a Film Director
C．James Cameron and His Documentary Film
D．The First Person to Make Films about the Deep Sea

In America, the first Halloween celebrations were a way to mark the end-of-year harvest season, and the food that was served mainly consisted of homemade seasonal treats like caramel apples and mixed nuts. There were no soul cakes — or candies, for that matter — to be found.
It wasn't until the 1950s that trick-or-treating gained popularity in the US. Following the Great Depression and World War II, the suburbs were booming, and people were looking for excuses to have fun and get to know their neighbors. The old practice of souling came back to life again and was made into an excuse for kids to dress up in costumes and roam (漫游) their neighborhoods. Common trick-or-treat offerings included nuts, coins, and homemade baked goods.
That changed when the candy companies got their hands on the holiday. They had already convinced consumers that they needed candy on Christmas and Easter, and they were looking for an equally lucrative opportunity to market candy in the fall. The new practice of trick-or-treating was almost too good to be true. Manufacturers downsized candies into smaller, bite-sized packages and began marketing them as treats for Halloween. Adults were grateful to have a convenient alternative to baking, kids loved the sweet treats, and the candy companies made billions.
Today, it's hard to imagine Halloween without Skittles, chocolate bars, and the perennial candy corn debates. But when you're digging through a bag or bowl of Halloween candy this October, remember that you could have been eating soul cakes instead.
24．What did people enjoy on earlier Halloween?
A．Caramel apples. B．Soul cakes. C．Candies. D．Peanuts.
25．What probably helped make trick-or-treating popular in the US?
A．The Great Depression. B．World War II.
C．The kids’ practice. D．Christmas and Easter.
26．Which word can best replace “lucrative” in Paragraph 3?
A．Confident. B．Beneficial. C．Unforgettable. D．Changeable.
27．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Candies in America. B．Halloween Celebrations.
C．Candies and Halloween. D．Americans and Festivals.

In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tartan” in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
28．Women are called the weaker sex because_________.
A．women do as much as men B．sport is easier for men than for women
C．people think women are weaker than men D．in sport the two sexes are always together
29．“That at least is what people say” means people_________.
A．say other things, too B．say this but may not think so
C．don’t say this much D．only think this
30．What problems does sport have?
A．Some women athletes are give hormone injections.
B．Some women athletes are actually men.
C．Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D．It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.
31．In this passage the author implies that_________.
A．women are weaker than wen, but faster
B．women are slower than men, but stronger
C．men are not always stronger and faster than women
D．men are faster and stronger than women

Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film. The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull. “I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly seven miles below the surface. “T really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”
Cameron captured (获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.
32．When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?
A．When he was in his childhood.
B．After his films The Abyss and Titanic.
C．After he achieved great success in movies.
D．When he began to explore the deep sea alone.
33．What is the unexplored ocean like?
A．Small and dull. B．Boring and deserted.
C．White and attractive. D．Colorful but dangerous.
34．What do we know about James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D?
A．It is a story about Cameron’s film-making dream.
B．It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.
C．It tells us about James’ journey into Challenger Deep.
D．It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.
35．What is the best title for this passage?
A．A Film Director Exploring Deep Sea
B．The Great Dream of a Film Director
C．James Cameron and His Documentary Film
D．The First Person to Make Films about the Deep Sea

In addition, I normally participate in a variety of beneficial voluntary activities, which makes me more experienced than others. I’d appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
