Hugh Laurie was the star of the TV series House. The show was watched by over 80 million people across the globe, but has just finished on May 21st, 2012. Fans will definitely miss the talented and troubled Dr Gregory House, who heads a team of doctors at a New Jersey hospital, but there are probably two things that many don't realize: firstly, Hugh Laurie had a long acting career before House; and secondly, although many think he's from the United States, he's actually an English.
Hugh got into acting while studying at Cambridge University. He joined the Footlights, an amateur theater group, and began writing and performing in comedy shows. Soon after, he met fellow student and comedian Stephen Fry, and the two became comedy partners. Together they had huge success on British television in the series Jeeves and Wooster and A Bit of Fry & Laurie. By the early 1990s, Hugh was a household name in Britain, but he was still unknown to American and international audiences.
However, that all changed in 2004. Hugh was acting in the film Flight of the Phoenix in Namibia when he heard about the upcoming TV show House. He read a few pages of the script (剧本) and fell in love with the main character, Dr Gregory House. So, Hugh filmed an audition (试演) in the bathroom of his hotel (it was the only place with enough light for the camera). The producers loved his audition and Hugh got the part.
House quickly became an international hit. And Hugh has since become a superstar.
But fame hasn't been easy on his personal life. He's spent the last eight years living in Los Angeles, while his wife and kids stayed in England.
So, now that House is over, will Hugh return to England? Or will his family move to the United States? They're still not sure. But Hugh has said that one thing he doesn't miss about London is the weather. “This morning I was having a cup of coffee outside ... In London you can only do that three days of the year！”
1．What can we learn about the TV series House?
A．It was directed by Stephen Fry. B．Its actors all come from America. C．It is a longrunning TV series. D．Its story mainly happens in England.
2．Which of the following is the CORRECT order of the events that happened in Hugh Laurie's life?
a．Hugh played a role in Jeeves and Wooster. b．Hugh met his comedy partner Stephen Fry. c．Hugh acted in the film Flight of the Phoenix. d．Hugh went to Cambridge University to study. A．c, b, a, d B．d, b, a, c C．a, c, d, b D．b, a, c, d
3．Hugh Laurie's words in the last paragraph imply that ________. A．he seldom has coffee in London B．he enjoys drinking coffee very much C．he doesn't like the weather in London D．he hasn't got used to the life in America 4．This text is mainly to introduce ________. A．an international company B．a worldfamous actor C．a popular TV series D．a theater group

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Website to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example,
students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.
5．What is the passage mainly about? A．Finding a job. B．
C．Craigslist Website.
D．The relation between study and work.
6．By logging on the Craigslist Website, you can________. A．sell your old things B．do some shopping online

Located in the center of Netherlands，Utrecht is the capital city of the smallest province in the country.It's essentially a smaller and friendlier version of Amsterdam, with canals, shops and street cafes.
Walk through history
“Watch out for the bikes，”said our guide on the morning's walking tour.Utrecht bikes are old, and they weave among pedestrians with skill, sometimes seeming to miss you only by a hair.
presence ensures that you can never get lost in the city.Utrecht's main canal, the Oudegracht, is very pretty.It is lined with wharfs (码头), which have been turned into businesses, restaurants and so on.
The Dom Tower
You can see Amsterdam if you climb the 456 steps of the Dom Tower.And if your legs give_out before the top, at least try to reach the astonishing bell tower.The bells, which are centuries old, are so big that they can only be rung once a year to prevent
woman plays these bells like a piano once a week.
The museum under the tower, Dom Under, shows the Roman foundation of the city, which dates back to 47 AD.It is a brilliant exhibition, making you feel like an archaeological (考古学的) dig.
Eating and shopping The be
shop where the menu is simple but hearty.
Shopping in Utrecht is fun.There are familiar clothing chains, such as Mango and Zara, but the real pleasure lies in the unusual little boutiques (精品店) selling curious art, board games and antiques.
The hotels

Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good.This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity.However, that is not always the case.Do you know that the same one color may mean something differently in different places of the world?
In the Englishspeaking world, black is the color of mourning — people wear black at the funeral.Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (伤亡)．Yellow is the word for fear.If you are afraid, you are yellow.Yet none of these sayings is true outside the Englishspeaking world.In China and Korea white is the color of mourning.In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence.In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
Even within the Englishspeaking area, it is not difficult to find color contradictions (矛盾)．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station.In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman.Both names are logical，because both men wear red caps.Similarly, the British term for an American whitecollar worker is sometimes called a blackcoated worker.
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences.Would you rather be redblooded or blueblooded？If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest.The expression “blueblooded”comes from Spain, where
some noble families proudly told the world that they had “blue blood”．Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood.But then why “blue” blood？Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.
12．Yellow is concerned with anger in ________. A．India B．Britain C．China D．Italy
13．Both Britain and America would probably agree that ________. A．a redcap is a porter in a station B．black is the color of mourning C．red stands for beauty and excellence
D．a blackcoated worker is employed in an office 14．In Britain, a redcap is a ________. A．porter B．nobleman
C．clerk D．military policeman
15．The best title for this passage is ________. A．The Origin of Blue Blood B．Colors that Carry Bad Meanings
C．The Meaning Concerned with Certain Colors D．The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
