The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight-no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID(帶照片的身份證). Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award(獎勵). Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for 99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost ticket replacement (替換) to 70 from either 60 or 50. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.
1．Why is the new ticketless flight introduced?
[ ]
A．It is cheaper for air travelers.
B．It helps reduce the cost for airlines.
C．It can use computer to plan air traveling.
D．It helps prevent fliers from losing their tickets.
2．To encourage people to take ticketless flights, the airlines ________.
[ ]
A．sell their tickets for 99 from June to February the following year
B．let travelers go to both the US and Canada with the same tickets
C．allow each traveler to have an extra 99 ticket for a friend of theirs

3．Who are the paper lovers mentioned in the text?
[ ]
A．People who like to have paper airplane tickets.
B．People who love paper products of various kinds.
C．People who travel with paper on a plane.

Mrs Matthews lived in a small town where there was one jeweller's shop. It also took in watch repairs, although it had to send them off to London for the work to be done, as there was not enough business to keep an expert watch repairer occupied.
When Mrs Matthews's old father died, she inherited his gold watch, which had belonged to his father and grandfather before him. It was big and heavy and worth a lot of money, but it was broken, so Mrs Matthews took it to be repaired.
The man in the jeweller's shop was very interested to see such an unusual watch, and when he had examined its insides, he said he could certainly have it repaired for her. “It'll last a long time once that's been done.”he said. He wrote out a ticket and gave it to Mrs Matthews saying. “Please bring this when you come to pick up the watch. But it might take a bit of time, because it isn't a modem watch.”
But Mrs Matthews had a lot of things to think about after her father died. She had to arrange to deal with the various affairs after her father's death.
The result was that she completely forgot about the watch that she had taken in for repair, and about the ticket for it, which she had put away in a drawer to keep it safe.
Then, while she was looking through some old drawers one day, she found the ticket for the watch repair.
She thought back, suddenly she remembered.“My father's gold watch! Didn't I pick it up? When did I take it in?”She looked at the ticket.
“How old's this ticket?” she said to herself. It was five years old.
Mrs Matthews had heard that shops could sell things that people had left with them if they didn't pick them up and pay for them before a certain time. “But the watch might still be there,”she thought.“I'll go and see if I can get it back. It might have been sold, but I hope not.”
She took the ticket to the jeweller's and the shopkeeper looked at it and then went to look for the watch without saying a word.
“That's good,”Mrs Matthews thought.“He didn't seem to mind about the date.”
The man came back after a few minutes and said,“It won't be ready until Friday.”
1．Who was the watch repairer according to the text?
[ ]
A．Mrs Matthews
B．One jeweller's shop
C．The hired expert watch repairer
D．Some watch repairer in London
2．In the sentence“She inherited his gold watch”, the underlined word “inherited”is closest in meaning to “________”
[ ]

[ ]
A．It can keep its time for long

Right is right. Right? But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view (觀點) .Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word“dexter”means“right”. The English word “odexterous”comes from this word. It means“handy”(clever with hands), so, right, is handy. But the Latin word for left is“sinistra”. The English word“sinister”comes from this word. Sinister means“evil”(very bad). Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means“weak”. That isn't much of an improvement over“evil”.
Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.
People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why did they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes (態度) do seem to be changing. Fairminded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.
(1) The passage leads us to believe that when one writes ________.
[ ]
A．he can use his right hand only
B．he can use his left hand only
C．he can use either his left hand or his right hand
D．he shouldn't use his left hand
(2) Which of the following is true to the passage?
[ ]
A．Odexterous comes from old English.
B．The Latin word for left is sinister.
C．The word for left in old English is a little better than that in Latin.
D．The word evil for left comes from Latin.
(3) Left-handed people today are ________.
[ ]
A．just as weak as left-handed people of the past
B．being treated better than those in the past
C．thought to be strange
D．being taught to use their right hands
(4) “Fair-minded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand”means that they are ________.
[ ]
A．persuading them
B．teaching them how to use their right hands
C．starting to give them a chance and help them out
D．shaking hands with them
(5) What's the main idea of the passage?
[ ]
A．Many languages have words that express the idea that left is bad.
B．Majorities often get good treatment.
C．Throughout the history, left-handed people have been treated poorly.
D．There are a lot of differences between left-handed people and right-handed people.

Kangaroos live only in Australia and on the island near it. Not many people knew they were there until about 200 yeas ago. At that time, Captain Cook sailed to Australia from England.
He and his men had travelled halfway around the world. They needed food for the long trip home. Captain Cook sent a few sailors ashore to get food .
When the sailor returned, they brought with them a big gray animal. The men's eyes were being opened wide.
“Look at his tail,”said one, “It must be four feet long！”
“What's the animal called?” asked the captain.
“We tried to get the people to tell us,” answered a sailor, “They kept saying ‘Kangaroo’. They wouldn't say anything else.”
“Kangaroo,” said Captain Cook, “That's a good name. It sounds as queer as he Cooks . ” Captain cook carefully noted this word in his word book.
The missionaries (傳教士) who later came to Australia were anxious to see a kangaroo but their questions were met with puzzled looks. They soon discovered that the native who answered Cook's question was really saying, “I don't know what you're pointing at.”This is how the word “Kangaroo ”has come into use.
(1)Which sentence below best expresses the main idea?
[ ]
A．Captain Cook's sailor had a sense of humor.
B．Native Australians could not speak English.

D．Captain Cook was fond of animals.
(2)What does the passage want to tell us?
