Passage 1

The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.
When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.
Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.

A. America is the largest country in the world.
B. The United States lies next to Canada and Mexico.

7.         After winning its independence, the United States _________.
A. had nothing to do with England
B. made India part of its land
C. mainly developed westward
D. took over parts of Canada and Mexico
8.        The United States didn’t have ______ states until ________.
A. thirteen; 1959
B. fifty; 1959
C. fifty; this land first became a nation
D. fifty;1964
9.         Why is English the language of America?
A. Because English is the native language of the Indians.
B. Because most Americans come from all over the world.
C. Because Canada is America’s nearest neighbor.
D. Because most of the people who first settled in America were from England.
10.         The best title for the passage is “ _________”.
A. the States of America

C. The United States of America
D. The Culture and Customs of America


Passage 2
   There was once an ant that was very thirsty.
    It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.
    Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it.
    The ant drank the water, which saved its life.
    The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.
    The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.
    "Why are you sad?" asked the ant.
    "I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together."
    "That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.
    "I know," the girl cried, "and if I can’t finish by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!"
    "Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."
    Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.
    The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go.
    Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.
