Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed with little firework . Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics（杂技）, martial arts（武术）,dance and opera nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With an about100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.
Mauritius
Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion

When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.
When I was married in 1970, my husband ,who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.
A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.
Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and love , had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.
I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary.
I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend. ” I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.
4．What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?
A．His concern for her.
B．His pity and protection for her.

A．In the back of her wallet. C．In the pocket of her raincoat.
B．In a little pencil case. D．In the layer of her suitcase.

A．The author became rich all of a sudden.
B．The author's friend would receive a wallet as a gift. C．The author's friend was not touched by her story. D．The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill. 7．What can be the best title for the text?
A．A crown coin C．A hard life

London Underground
The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems，the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.
The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However， the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year. 8.What led the British government to build the London Underground？
1
B．The help to a friend D．A gift from my father
A. Traffic jams and pollution. B. Population and pollution.
C. Overcrowding and traffic jams. D. The poverty and subway problems. 9.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？
A. It made the tunnels larger. B. It put fans in the tunnels. C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.
D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train. 10. Which of the following is TRUE？
A. To relocate the workers’ homes outside London, the government built the subway. B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened. C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic.
D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened. II.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

4．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.”可知，结婚时父亲送给母亲一枚1937年王冠硬币意味着母亲总会觉得父亲在保护自己，并且需要钱时，她总会有钱，也就说这枚硬币代表了父亲对母亲的关心和爱，故C项正确。
5．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins”可知，作者的朋友把那张100美元纸币放在了小文具盒里，故B项正确。 6．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend.”可知，作者将会把那个自己从未用过的小钱包送给朋友，故B项正确。
7．主旨大意题。文章一句就提到了父母结婚时，父亲送给母亲一枚1937年的王冠硬币，让母亲时刻感到他的关心和爱，文章由此而展开，作者结婚时，丈夫也送她一枚王冠硬币，然后作者又运用这枚王冠硬币的影响（代表了另一个人的关心和爱）送给一个经济困难的朋友一张百元纸币放在钱包里保护她，全文都是围绕“王冠硬币”而展开，故A项正确。 【点睛】

8. 选C。根据文章第一段中“the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London.”可知，C项是正确的。 9. 选B。根据文章第二段“However， the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the
tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)， as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe.”，可知应该选B。 10. 选C。当初建造地铁的目的就是为了缓解交通，最后缓解了英国的交通问题。 二．七选五

语篇解读 “我”在周游世界的时候，偶然路过巴西一座小城，这里的人非常友好热情。在“我”没带钱的情况下先把帽子赊给“我”；在“我”吃饭没带现金的情况下，让“我”先吃饭，离城前结账就可以了。
16．C 城里的人非常友好热情。“我”真正喜欢的是人们打招呼的方式。 17．B 根据下文“people gave me the thumbs up”的提示可知。
18．A 彼此遇见的时候，用thumbs up的方式打招呼，而不是 a wave or a stare。 instead of“代替”。
19．C 这让“我”一天都非常开心。make one's day“使某人一天非常高兴”。 20．D “我”喜欢帽子但身上没带钱。on“(身上)带着”。
21．B 他看到“我”对帽子很“感兴趣”，和上文的“loved”相对应。

22．D 他说他会再来看“我”并取帽子的钱，不急。rush“匆忙”。 23．C 这是卖东西的简单从容的方式。easy“轻松的；容易的”。 24．D “我”接受了他的提议。下文I accepted his offer也有提示。
25．A “我”无论去哪儿都随身带着那顶帽子，因为帽子使“我”记住：那儿的人是多么好。
26．A 那天晚些时候一个人走向“我”，问“我”是否愿意到他的饭店吃饭。
27．C “我”高兴地接受了他的邀请。carefully“小心地”； calmly“冷静地”； patiently“耐心地”，均不符合语境。
28．B 这是这个城里最好的饭店，能容纳十张桌子。seat“可容纳若干座位”。
29．D 他的饭菜非常可口，他留心每一道菜的味道和色泽。pay attention to“关注；注意”。 30．A 当付账的时候，他只收现金而“我”只带了银行卡。根据下文“He __37__ to me and said, ‘Just pay before you leave town.’”的提示可知答案。
31．C 最近的自动取款机也在约7英里之外，“我”不知道怎么办。
32．A 他对“我”笑了笑，说“我”在离城前付给他钱就行。通过上下文可知体现人的友善，此空填smiled最符合语境。
33．B “我”从这些经历中学到的一点就是：世界上有一些人，他们主要关注的不是钱，而是用他们的慷慨使别人开心。
34．B 解析同上。此空考查定语从句中关系词的用法。
35．D 这座城里的人先给作者东西或是先让作者吃饭，过后再收钱，这表明人很慷慨。
