二．阅读理解

阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选项中选出最佳的一项。

Why is 2004 a special year? Because it is a Leap Year(闰年) What’s so special about that? Well, Leap Year happens only once every four years. And it has 366 days instead of the usual 365. In a Leap Year, we have 29 days in February, while in a usual year we have only 28 days.

Why do we have a Leap Year? We have a Leap Year so we can keep the calendar(日历. in step with the seasons. The calendar is a kind of clock for the whole year. But how long is a year? A calendar year is 365 days. However, a true year is actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds long. That’s the time it takes the earth to travel around the sun. So every four years we have one more day, and we put it at the end of February, the shortest month of a year. Then we have a Leap Year.

1. How often can we have a Leap Year?

A. Every year.

B. Every February

C. Every other year

D. Every four years

2. What is a calendar? It is a kind of clock .

A. for the whole year

B. only for Leap Year

C. for the usual year

D. for the unusual year

3. How long does it take the earth to travel around the sun? It takes the earth to

travel around the sun.

A. a day

B. a little longer than 365 days

C. a year

D. a month

4. Mrs. Green was born on February 29, 1972. Now she is 32. How many birthdays has

she had?

B. 16.

C. 8.

D. 4.

5. While of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People who were born on February 29th are very lucky because they can have more

birthdays than others.

B. Usually we have 365 days in a year.

C. There were 29 days in February, 1992.

D. The next Leap Year will be the year 2008.

There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can’t work all that time —we need a holiday. Let’s say we have three weeks’ holiday. We don’t work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember that we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours’ lunch every day, and half an hour’s coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

1. How many days do we sleep in a year? days.

A. 365

B. 122

C. 8

Radio and television are very popular in the world today. Millions of people watch television. More people listen to the radio.

The TV is, of course, more useful than the radio. On the TV you can see and hear what is happening. This is especially important with international events.

However, the radio is not disappearing. It is still with us. And the number of listeners becomes larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor set. A transistor is sometimes very small. It is very easy to carry about. You put one in your pocket when you go to work. You can listen to news broadcasts or radio lessons on the bus. You can listen to them on your bike. You can put your own transistor set beside your pillow when you go to bed. You can take it down to the beach or riverside when you go to swim. Besides, radio broadcasts are better for blind people. And the sight of many old people is not good enough to watch television. Then when people are working, they cannot watch television, but they can always liste n to music (in the fields, for instance. on the radio. What’s more, a television set is rather expensive. Not every family can have one. But a transistor set is much cheaper.

However, more and more people are buying TV sets. While you sit comfortably before the TV set in your own living room, you not only hear but also see what is happening in many places in the world.

Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant and its owner did not know what to do. The food in the restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.

Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside.
