(影响) in this matter. perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. a red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.1. the passage is mainly about _. a. color and its surprising effects. b. women being luckier than men c. danger caused by color blindness d. color blindness2. according to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. a. tell different shapes b. see in a weak light c. kill mosquitoes d. tell orange from yellow3. why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? a. women are more careful. b. there are fewer color-blind women

helmet（头盔）that i got him for his birthday, i realized that a number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet. due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places. where i live, there has been a law in place since october 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. my dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to rockland lake state park. one afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness(知觉). when he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading up to his fall. later that day, a cat scan showed that he had a concussion (脑震荡). that evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization. if he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. today, when my dad and i go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.5. in the writers opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets? a. because a law requires them to do so. b. because many people like wearing bicycle helmets. c. because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets. d. because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.6. the underlined part “we both came to a shocking realization” in paragraph 4 means “_”. a. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet b. we were shocked to see the broken helmet c. we realized that young people neednt wear helmets d. only old people should wear helmets7. from the accident that happened to the writers dad, we can infer that _. a. the cyclists should follow the law b. his dad was not worried about this accident c. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets d. everyone should care about life cmost people think that the capital of the movie world is hollywood, in the united states. however, the real movie capital is mumbai, in india. mumbai used to be known as bombay, and so the film industry(产业)there is called “bollywood”. each year, bollywood makes twice as many movies as hollywood.the movies from bollywood are very different from hollywood movies. for one thing, bollywood movies are longer than most hollywood movies. most bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. because bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. masala is an indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(调味品). another big difference is the way the movies are made. it takes longer to make a movie in hollywood than in bollywood. in fact, filming may begin on a bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is finished. the director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it. bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. they may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戏装) and scenery. since most bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. this also helps to keep the cost(成本) of bollywood movies lower than the cost of hollywood movies. 8. what is not true about mumbai? a. it is the movie capital of india.b. the new name is bombay. c. more movies are made there than in hollywood. d. it is less expensive to make films there than in hollywood. 9. why are bollywood films often called “masala” films? a. they have spicy stories. b. they show indian culture. c. they mix different styles of movies.d. they are much longer than hollywood films. 10. bollywood movies are cheap to make because_ a. the scripts are written by hand. b. they are shorter than hollywood films. c. the movies do not use any special effects(特效). d. some movie reuses things from other movies. 11. which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with?a. hollywood movies are too violent. b. it takes a lot of masala to make a movie. c. most bollywood movie are very similar. d. only indian people can understand bollywood movies.dgreen is an important color in nature. it is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. it is also the color of most growing plants.sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.for example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. in the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. a century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. by the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today - a person who is new in a job.about 100 years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the american west. old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east. the greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. the expression comes from the early 1900s. a person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. you might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). the green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. it is an expression used about four hundred years ago by british writer william shakespeare in his play othello.it describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants. a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.in most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. a green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. in everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project. 12. if a person was a greenhorn, he might _.a. be good at growing plants b. get along well with othersc. be a soldier in the 16th century d. have no experience in doing something13. when you have trouble in growing flowers, you can ask for help from _.a. a green thumb b. a green light c. a greenhorn d. a green-eyed monster14. if a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentlemans, you may_.a. need to buy a green light b. have to get a green thumbc. show them your greenhorn d. be affected by the green-eyed monster15. what is the passage mainly about?a. the origin of the word “green ”. b. some expressions concerning
