There are usually three school terms in Britain: autumn, spring and summer terms.
The schools usually have a five-day holiday halfway in each term. Sometimes the schools take their pupils on trips at half-term. Holidays can be different in different places .The schools usually have ten days at Christmas, ten days at Easter and six weeks in summer from the end of July to the beginning of September.
Students can eat lunch in the school dining-room. In recent years more and more students have brought their own lunch packed lunch). They don’t like eating in the dining-room. All pupils enjoy talking about how bad school food is.
The students don’t like having lunch in the school dining-room recently because______.
A. they are on holidays B. the food is not delicious
C. they are too busy D. the teachers don’t like it
The passage doesn’t tell us why in a straight way. In the last paragraph, there is a sentence “In recent years more and more students have brought their own lunch packed lunch. They don’t like eating in the dining-room. All pupils enjoy talking about how bad school food is.” From this passage, we can infer that the students don’t like to have lunch in the school dinning room recently because the food is not delicious. D is right.
For example, if you don’t want your friends to visit you when you are busy. Will you say to your friend “ You can go away, because I’m really very busy?” No, you won’t, instead you can remind your friend by keeping looking at your watch. Your friend maybe know it’s time for them to leave now. Do you know why you keep looking at your watch?
【Exercise 3】
Nobody likes staying at home on a holiday — especially (特别地) if the weather is fine. Last August we decided to spend the day in the country. The only problem was that millions of other people had the same idea. We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars, but at last we came to a quiet country road and, after some time, stopped at a farm near the town. We had carried enough food with us and we got it out of the car. Now everything was ready so we sat down near a path (小路) at the foot of a hill. It was very quiet in the grass until we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about two hundred sheep coming towards us along the paths!
1. From the passage we know the writer .
A. likes staying at home on a holiday B. likes spending a holiday in the open air
C. likes watching sheep D. likes playing with friends
2. We can infer (推断) from the passage that .
A. the weather was very fine that day B. the traffic was very busy
C. they found a quiet place D. all of the above
No. 1 The writer decided to spend the day---- the holiday in the country, certainly in the open air.
No. 2 The first two sentences tell us the weather was very fine that day. “We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars… ” What does it mean? It means that there was a lot of traffic, that is “the traffic was very busy”. “…at last we came to a quiet country road ….. It was very quiet in the grass… ” “C. they found a quiet place.” is right. A. B. C are all right, so we choose “D. all of the above”

I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child, I enjoyed painting(绘画), but I also liked making things out of clay(粘土). I won a prize (奖) for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery(制陶). I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay. I’m happy working by myself and being near my home. I don’t like mass-produced things, for they are made by machines and are all the same. I think crafts (手工艺) are very important and craftspeople make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money. I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workplace is small. But I wish to move to a larger one next year.
When finishing art school studies, the writer was about_______.
A. 14 B. 16 C. 18 D. 21
In the reading, the writer says that “I won a prize (奖) for one of my paintings when I was fourteen and went to art school four years later.” That means when the writer was 18 years old, he went to the art school. When he finished the art school studies, he should be older than 18. So we choose “D. 21 ”

【Model 6】(1999’ Zhengjiang)
Jack is name of a game that is quite popular with children. To play jacks, you will need small metal objects (物体) called jacks.
The rules (规则) for this game are quite easy. To begin, you put the ten jacks on the floor or ground in front of you. Toss the ball high (but not too high), pick up one jack and them catch the ball. Keep the jack in your hand and them go on to pick up the other jacks one at a time. You lose your turn if you do not catch the ball, you do not pick up a jack, or you drop any of the jacks from your hand.
When you finish all the ten jacks, you now try to do the same thing again but with two jacks at one time. This is more difficult of course. You lose your turn if you make any of the other three mistakes or if you do not pick up two jacks each time.
The underlined (划线的) word “Toss” means .
A. drop B. catch C. throw D. pick
First of all, we must guess the meaning of “jack”. Is jack a boy as we already know. No, it’s not. It’s a metal object called a jack. This passage has told us something about how to play jacks. You are wanted to guess the meaning of a new word “toss”. From the reading “Toss the ball… and then catch the ball.” We know that toss is a kind of action putting things up in the air. So “C. throw” is the right answer.

【Exercise 5】
The mirror image（像） of yourself is very much like you. For example, you can see the real shape（形状） of your nose in a mirror. You can see the color of your eyes and the color of your hair. Still, the image is not the same as you. It is a copy, not the real thing.
When you move your face away from the mirror, the image disappears. But you do not disappear. You are still in the room. It is easy to make a mirror image disappear. You need only to remove（移动） the mirror. Or you can take the thing away from the mirror.
A mirror image can often be helpful. You maybe look in a mirror when you comb（梳） your hair. The image helps you to comb your hair. Every car has a rear vision mirror（后视镜）. The driver looks into the mirror. He sees an image of the traffic behind him.
An image is a likeness（相似物）. A drawing in a book can be looked as an image. It is like the real thing. How is a mirror image like a copy which comes off a printing press(印刷品)? How is it different?
What does the word “disappear” mean in this passage?
A. 出现 B. 消失 C. 变化 D. 形成
In the second paragraph, there are three “disappear”. If you can’t guess the meaning right, you will not get the right information that the writer wants to tell you. But can we guess the meaning of this word? We know this passage is about the mirror image. We can guess the meaning with the help of our life experience. Also we can guess the meaning form the context. From the sentences “When you move your face away from the mirror, the image disappears. But you do not disappear. You are still in the room. It is easy to make a mirror image disappear. You need only to remove（移动） the mirror. Or you can take the thing away from the mirror.” We know the meaning of the word should be “B. 消失”
