B

    Most of my sweet memories are from my childhood. There are always so many interesting things in the far away village where I grew up. One thing that leaves a deep impression on me is shearing the sheep.

    In my village, sheep are washed and sheared (剪毛) sometime in the month of June. This should be done quite early in the month, before the hot days begin.

    It's best for the sheep to have the wool taken off, or they will be too hot in the summer time. When the time comes for washing the sheep, they are driven to a pond or a little river. Then they are thrown into the water, one at a time. The men who are in the water catch them, and wash them to get the dirt all out of the wool. When the wool is dry, the sheep are taken to the shearer; and he cuts off the wool with a large pair of shears. In a short time, before the cold winter comes, new wool grows out on the sheep. By the coming of spring, there is so much that it must be cut off soon.

 

(1)、When are sheep sheared usually?
A、In February B、In June. C、In April. D、In August.
(2)、According to the passage, why do people cut off the wool of sheep?
A、They do that for fun and pleasure.     B、They do that as a sport and exercise. C、They do that to help sheep spend hot summer. D、They do that to make sheep look more beautiful.
(3)、What does the underlined word "shears" mean?
A、Knives B、Scissors. C、Baskets. D、Rivers.
(4)、How often do people shear their sheep?
A、Several times a year. B、Twice a year.    C、Once a few years. D、Once a year.

More and more people choose paid study rooms with cute tables and chairs, green plants, pretty walls and quiet computer keyboards. To build a friendly learning environment, some rooms have low light to help people focus on their work. Some places have sunrooms and learners can enjoy beautiful nature from large windows. The workers will tell people to keep quiet in the study areas.

"We hope to offer a perfect learning place to people who want to study," said Wang Yi, founder(创始人) of a 24-hour paid study room. "Over the past six months, the number of people coming was much bigger than we first thought, so we are now looking for new places."

Feng Jia comes to the paid study room every day to prepare for exams. "There are not enough seats in public libraries. Also, there are many people talking or walking around," he said. At home, it is even harder to focus because of phones, snacks and pets.

While many people welcome the paid study rooms, others are afraid that these rooms will replace libraries. Xu Qiang, director of the Shanghai Library's reader service centre believes that public libraries and paid study rooms are satisfying the different needs of people. "People come to public libraries for the large number of books, while they go to the study rooms for the learning environment," said Xu.

"Keep calm and carry on" — You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs(纪念品) in London and the UK. It has become so famous that there are many expressions of it: "keep calm and drink tea"; "keep calm and love dogs"; "keep calm and learn English". As you can see, you can substitute(替换) the "carry on" part for anything you want, really!

But where does the original(最初的) phrase come from? Well, it comes from World War II. It was a message used for a poster(海报) created by the British government to calm people down and encourage them during the war when London was being attacked(攻击). The idea was to carry on with life as normal, as if there was no war.

Staying calm when you're in trouble is known as a very British thing to do. British people are famous for keeping a "stiff upper lip". This means your lips don't shake when you are excited or frightened: you stay calm and don't show people how you are really feeling.

Are British people still like this today? Do they still keep a "stiff upper lip"? Modern Britain is very different from how it was 60 years ago and British people probably show their emotions(情绪) more than they used to. But if "keep calm and carry on" is still so famous today, then it must be something that British people still think and care about, and something they are still famous for. So next time you are frightened or in danger, just keep calm and carry on!

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Oliver Twist was brought up in the workhouse where only the poor and homeless lived. He was pale, thin and short for his age. The boys ate meals in a large stone hall. They ate a bowl of thin soup three times a day, with half a piece of bread on Sundays. The boys were always hungry and ate everything up. The bowls never needed washing. The boys polished(擦亮) them with their spoons(勺子) until they shone.

The boys got hungrier and hungrier until one day they intended to do something . One boy had to ask for more food that evening. So they decided who would go by drawing lots. Each boy took a piece of paper and anyone who got paper with a mark on it would do that. It turned out that Oliver Twist was that boy.

 The evening arrived, the soup was served, and soon the bowls were empty again in a few seconds. The boys were desperate(绝望) with hunger. With fear, Oliver went up to the master who was a fat and healthy man. He held up his bowl and said, "Please, sir,I want some more."

 The master turned very pale when he heard Oliver's words. "What?" said the master in a surprising voice.

"Please, sir," repeated Oliver, "Would you please give me more? I want some more." The master hit him with the spoon heavily, then took Oliver's arms and shouted to tell the board (理事会).

"He asked for more?" Mr Limbkins, the fattest board member, asked in horror. "The boy is ungrateful!""That boy will be hanged in the future!" said another board member. Oliver was then locked up in a dark room.
