　　Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?
　　Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now they have begun to say, "We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is—food from paper. Scientists say, "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food, too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."

  　　In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
　　Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .
　　In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
　　In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .
1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .

　　One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”
　　They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.
　　The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

　　As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins（企鹅）may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased(减少) by 30% since 1987.
　　Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America，New Zealand，Australia and South Africa. Mary live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly，but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill(磷虾).
　　The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce(繁殖).　 Besides，many adult penguins die of hunger.
　　Widespread(广泛的) fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks(漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物) in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.
　　News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild.　 Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
       For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
       Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
       Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners!”
1. Visitors like to go there in        to enjoy        on the longest day of the year.
A. July; sunrise      B. June; sunrise      C. June; sunset      D. July; sunset
2. When was Stonehenge most likely built?
A. 750,000 years ago.        B. Six centuries ago.
C. 5,000 years ago.             D. In 2001.
3. What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?
A. Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.
B. It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.
C. It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.
D. It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.
4. What aren’t people interested in about Stonehenge?
A. Where it was built.                         B. Who built it.
C. When it was built.                          D. Why it was built.
5. What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners”?
A. He has known who built Stonehenge.
B. He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery.
C. He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge.
D. He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.

巨石阵，一个岩石圈，不仅是英国最著名的历史名胜之一，也是它最大的奥秘之一。每年接待超过75万人次的游客。人们喜欢去这个地方，特别是在六月，因为他们希望看到太阳在一年中最长的一天升起。
多年来，历史学家认为巨石阵是古代领袖试图与神沟通的寺庙。然而，历史学家保罗·斯托克认为这不可能是真的，因为巨石阵是几个世纪前建造的。"领导人到达英国要晚得多，"他指出。
另一个流行的想法是，巨石阵可能是一种日历。大石头是用某种方式拼凑起来的。在仲夏的早晨，太阳直接照进石头的中心。其他人相信这些石头有医疗目的。他们认为这些石头可以预防疾病，使人保持健康。"当你走到那里时，你能感觉到你脚上的能量在向上移动你的身体，"一位游客说。没有人确定巨石阵是用来做什么的，但大多数人同意，巨石的位置必须是为一个特殊的目的。有些人认为它可能是一个埋葬的地方或一个地方，以纪念祖先。另一些人则认为，它是为了庆祝战胜敌人而建造的。
巨石阵在很长一段时间内建造得很慢。大多数历史学家认为它一定有近5000年的历史。最大的谜团之一是它是如何建造的，因为石头又大又重。2001年，一群英国志愿者试图建造另一个巨石阵，但却没能建成。"我们真的不知道是谁建造了巨石阵，"保罗·斯托克说。"也许我们可能永远不会知道， 但我们知道他们一定是努力工作 - 和伟大的规划师！

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.
Lin’s eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.
Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.
26. Why didn’t Lin choose to study photography?
A. It was too expensive.
B. He had no interest in it.
C. He was not very creative.
D. It was not offered that term.
27. The underlined expression “catch his eye” in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A. make him excited B. cause him surprise
C. get his attention D. help him see clearly
28. Which of the following best describes Lin’s interesting cooking?
A. It only lasted for a short time.
B. It seemed to match his character.
C. It was forced on him by his parents.
D. It developed slowly over many months.
29. Why did the father have doubts about Lin’s choice of cooking?
A. Lin wasn’t good at cooking. B. Cooking wasn’t very convenient.
C. He didn’t think Lin would continue. D. Cooking wasn’t a good hobby for a boy.
30. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A Strict Father B. A Changeable Boy
C. The Fun of Cooking D. The Birthday Gift

在林先生十一岁生日时，他送给他一份塑造他生活的礼物。那天，他的父亲带他去了儿童活动中心，说他可以选择任何他感兴趣的课程。只有一个要求：林必须承诺至少学习一年。
到那个地步，林有很多爱好，但一两个星期以上都没有保持兴趣。他妈妈曾经送给他一袋邮票来鼓励集邮。那个爱好持续了一个星期。然后，他的父亲给他买了一些油漆，希望林的艺术的一面会闪耀。那些油漆现在在他的床底下，还没有打开。这次林的父母会让他决定的。
林的眼睛向下移动了告示板，它列出了所有提供的课程。他停在"摄影"。他喜欢拍漂亮照片的想法，但通知说每个学生都需要自己的相机。虽然林家不穷，但也不富裕，相机花了不少钱。他继续寻找。

第二十六篇
Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.
A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups
( 汤 ). On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help “restore” ( 恢 复 ) your health—in French the word “restore” is “restaurer”—so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started buying Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word “restaurant” to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How restaurants developed.
B. What made a good restaurant,
C. Who created the first restaurant.
D. Why restaurants became popular.
32. According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?
A. Restaurants only served food.
B. Restaurants were more expensive.
C. Restaurants were mainly in cities.
D. Restaurants had a list of meal choices.
33. Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?
A. Rich people. B. Sick people. C. Travellers. D. Workers.
34. When it was first used, what did the word “restaurant” refer to?
A. A person. B. A place. C. Illness. D. Soup.
35. When did restaurants begin to grow internationally?
A. In the 1600s. B. In the 1700s. C. In the 1800s. D. In the 1900s.

专家认为，目前世界上有800多万家餐馆。因此，你得知餐馆，正如我们所了解的，只存在了几个世纪，这可能会令你感到惊讶。1765年以前，这里没有餐馆。也就是说，没有地方提供餐厅体验。没有哪个地方有侍者给你带了你从菜单上挑选的食物和饮料。事实上，任何地方都没有菜单。
在那之前，有一些地方可以到旅行者那里去。乡村里满是提供食物的旅馆。还有一些小酒馆，在那里人们可以喝酒。富人还可以吃私人厨师准备的特殊饭菜。但是，他们谁也没有可以被称为"餐厅"。
一个叫布朗格的人改变了这一点。1765年，他在巴黎开了一家卖汤的地方。
在他的招牌上，他用"餐厅"这个词来形容他卖的东西。当时，汤被认为是可以帮助"恢复"（恢）你的健康的东西——在法语中，"恢复"一词是"餐馆"，所以他称汤为"餐馆"。很快，人们开始购买布朗格的汤，即使他们没有生病。随着时间的推移，人们开始使用"餐厅"这个词来指卖汤的地方，而不是汤本身。在法国开设的"餐馆"更多，人们开始购买汤。
后来，巴黎的餐馆开始提供汤以外的其他食物。在1790年代，菜单开始出现。到19世纪中叶，全世界有许多类型的餐馆。美国提供咖啡店。茶馆在中国很流行。巴黎为富人创造了美丽的餐馆。英国人开始模仿法国人，餐馆的想法传遍了整个大英帝国。
如今，城市里挤满了所有类型的餐馆。用餐者有数百万种选择。

餐馆是如何发展起来的。
是什么做了一家好餐馆，
谁创建了第一家餐厅。
为什么餐馆变得流行。
根据第一段，是什么使餐馆不同于早期的吃饭地点？
餐馆只提供食物。
餐馆更贵。
餐馆主要在城市。
餐馆有一份膳食选择清单。

餐馆什么时候开始在国际上增长的？
A.在17世纪.B。在17世纪.C。在 19 世纪。在20世纪




第二十七篇
Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes ( 望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computer,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
36. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Telescopes. B. Satellites.
C. Pieces of space junk. D. BBC news reports.
37. Why is space junk considered a problem?
A. It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.
B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.
C. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.
D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.
38. Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that
.
A. the tools can be reused later
B. the tools don’t become space junk
C. the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean
D. the effects of space flight can be studied
39. How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?
A. Catch it with nets. B. Use robots to collect it.
C. Burn it in the earth’s atmosphere. D. Send it further away from the earth.
40. In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?
A. Environment. B. Local News. C. Education. D. Fashion.

许多人知道垃圾是地球上的一大问题。许多人不知道的是，垃圾也成了外层空间的问题。
据英国广播公司报道，有22，000多件太空垃圾漂浮在地球上。这些只是我们可以用望远镜从地球表面看到的东西。还有数百万小块垃圾，我们看不到。
物体，像旧太空火箭或卫星的碎片，以非常高的速度在地球周围移动，速度如此之快，即使是很小的碎片也可能会破坏重要的卫星或成为对宇航员的危险。如果最微小的垃圾撞上宇宙飞船，可能会损坏车辆。
更糟的是，当太空中的两个物体坠毁时，它们会分解成许多较小的碎片。例如，2009年，当一颗美国卫星击中一枚俄罗斯老火箭时，它闯入了2000多枚，增加了太空垃圾的数量。
为了减少更多的太空垃圾，各国同意，所有新的太空工具最多只能在太空中停留25年。每个工具都必须在之后安全地落入地球大气层。在大气层的上部，它会燃烧。
许多科学家还建议用不同的方法清理太空垃圾。在英国，科学家正在测试金属网，这种金属网可以发射成太空垃圾。网抓住垃圾，然后把它拉进地球大气层燃烧。德国人正在制造机器人，可以收集太空垃圾，并把它们带回地球，以便被安全摧毁。
意大利空间研究员马可·卡斯特罗诺沃（Marco Castronuovo）表示："这个问题正变得越来越具有挑战性，因为我们正在向太空发送更多的物体，以帮助人们使用手机和电脑。
"现在是采取行动的时候。我们离开问题的时间越长，问题就会变得越大，"他说。
第2款下划线的"这些"一词指的是什么？

为什么太空垃圾被认为是一个问题？
它重新进入大气层后燃烧。

它可以迫使新的太空工具以较慢的速度飞行。
它可能撞上其他太空工具，造成损坏或死亡。
各国希望未来的太空工具能够回到地球大气层，以便

第二十九篇
None of us is quite as healthy in mind as we seem, but neither is every unusual thing we do means we’re unhealthy. How to tell the difference? Start by reading the letters below, which have been analyzed by our experts.
Lately, after I read an unusual word, I often can’t get it out of my head for days, sometimes weeks. I silently repeat it to myself, often spell it, and even wake up in the night with it ringing in my head. What’s wrong with my brain?
That sounds like a little obsession (着迷). Your brain feels that for some reason it must repeat this word. Unless it is taking up more than an hour of your day or really influencing your life, it is not serious. To stop it, leave it alone. If you really want to stop the repetition, set aside ten minutes a day to repeat the word over and over again. Do it so many times that you finally get sick of it.
I sometimes have strange dreams when taking a short sleep, and I think they’re real when I wake up. Then, as I come around, I realize they aren’t. Is there something wrong with me?
What’s wrong is that you take short sleeps and most of us don’t! But are you mad? No. We all have strange dreams, and it’s normal, upon waking, to be fuzzy (模糊) for a little while or even not to remember where we are. What is not normal is if you don’t have these dreams.
When people are eating, I can’t stand the sound of a fork or spoon knocking on a plate or bowl. I begin shaking and having a headache. I’m also sickened by the sound of people chewing with their mouths open. Is there something wrong with me?
It seems that there is something wrong with everyone else you know. How come they don’t eat with their mouths closed? At the least, you’re over sensitive (敏感) to little noise. You may also be troubled by a disorder in mind called misophonia. Try drawing your attention away from the noise. Pay attention to something else as hard as you can when you eat with your friends: the music in the background, the scene out the window, even what they’re talking about. You can train yourself to be less troubled by the noise.
When I’m driving and have to cross a bridge, my heart starts racing and I feel light-headed. The fear that I’m going to pass out makes the whole situation worse. Am I crazy?
This sounds like an anxiety (忧虑), which can bring on heart illness and a real sense that you’re going to die. This kind of feeling is the body’s reaction to the possible danger in near future. To keep your anxiety from progressing, try the old method: breathing. When you feel your heart starting to race, take a deep breath in three or four times, and then let it out five or six times until you start to feel comfortable. You can also make a tape of your favourite song, and sing along as you cross the bridge.
1. What does the word analyzed mean in the first paragraph?
A. Divided into parts.                                    B. Examined carefully.
C. Discussed in groups.                                D. Treated scientifically.
2. Which person described in the four letters has got something wrong?
A. The first two.                                                 B. No. 1 and No. 3.
C.  The last two.                                           D. No. 2 and No. 4.
3. What can we do when we have strange dreams after a short sleep?
A. It’s not necessary for us to do anything.
B. We can think about the dreams once again.
C. It’s a good idea to pay attention to other things.
D. We’d better go to see a doctor as early as possible.
4. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
A. we don’t need to worry about anything in mind
B. disorders in mind can be treated by ourselves
C. one must face all kinds of problems in life
D. if you are brave, nothing can trouble you

我们当中没有人像看起来那样健康，但我们做的每一件不寻常的事情都意味着我们不健康。如何区分？首先阅读以下字母，这些字母已被我们的专家分析。
最近，我读了一个不寻常的词后，我经常不能把它从我的脑海数天，有时几个星期。我默默地重复它对自己，经常拼写它，甚至醒来在夜里，它响在我的脑海。我的大脑怎么了？
听起来有点痴迷。你的大脑觉得，出于某种原因，它必须重复这个词。除非它占用你一天一天超过一个小时或真正影响你的生活， 它不是严重的。要阻止它，别管它。如果你真的想停止重复，每天留出十分钟来重复这个词一遍又一遍。做这么多次了，你终于厌倦了。
我有时在睡一小觉时有奇怪的梦， 当我醒来时， 我觉得它们是真实的。然后，当我来，我意识到他们不是。我有什么问题吗？
错的就是你睡不好觉，而我们大多数人不睡！但你疯了吗？不。我们都有奇怪的梦，醒来后，模糊一会儿，甚至不记得我们在哪里，这是正常的。不正常的是，如果你没有这些梦想。
当人们吃饭时，我无法忍受叉子或勺子敲盘子或碗的声音。我开始发抖，头痛。我也被人们张开嘴咀嚼的声音恶心。我有什么问题吗？
看来你认识的其他人都出问题了。他们怎么不闭嘴吃饭？至少，你过于敏感（\）对小噪音。你可能也会被一种叫做失味的紊乱困扰。试着把注意力从噪音中拉开。当你和朋友一起吃饭时，尽可能努力地注意别的东西：背景中的音乐，窗外的场景，甚至他们谈论的。你可以训练自己少被噪音困扰。
当我开车，不得不过桥，我的心开始赛车，我觉得头晕。害怕我会昏倒， 使整个情况变得更糟。我疯了吗？
这听起来像是焦虑， 可以带来心脏病和真正的感觉， 你会死。这种感觉是身体对近期可能的危险的反应。要防止焦虑进展，请尝试用旧的方法：呼吸。当你感觉到你的心开始跳动时，深呼吸三到四次，然后让它出来五六次，直到你开始感到舒服。您还可以制作一盘你最喜欢的歌曲的磁带，并在过桥时一起唱歌。

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.
46 What activity is less popular these days than before?
A. Reading a book. B. Listening to the radio.
C. Watching TV.D. Surfing the Internet.
47. We can learn from the second paragraph that _______.
A reading can improve your memory
B, reading can make you interesting and attractive
C. reading can make you smarter
D. reading can reduce stress
48. The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refers to ________.
A. the books they are reading
B. the directions on a medicine bottle
C. the good reading skills
D. the words a doctor tells a sick person
49. Some people disagree to read books because they think _________.
A. walking in the city also needs reading skills
B. driving along the road is dangerous
C reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D. reading books just wastes their time
50. The best title of the passage can be _________.
A. People Should Enjoy Themselves

C. Why People Should Read Books
D. What We Love Doing in Spare Time

这些天人们读书的次不频繁。随着广播、电视以及最近互联网和电脑游戏的发明，读书似乎不再是一种受欢迎的活动。然而，我相信书籍是我们生活中的重要组成部分。
书籍提供出色的学习财富，而且价格比上课程便宜。书籍可以让人们更聪明，因为重读者对事物是如何处理的、人们是谁或是什么有更大的了解。
当今社会一切都需要阅读。想象一下，试图在没有良好阅读技能的情况下，尝试做一些简单的事情，如在药瓶上阅读指示。有人无法理解他们，病得很重，甚至死亡。
即使像步行或开车穿过城市一样简单的东西，如果没有足够的阅读，也可能变得非常危险。有时，你必须能够理解所写的东西，并解释它们的含义。
有人说读书是浪费时间，我们可以用时间做得更好。即使我们不读书，我们仍然每天读书，读书可以增强我们的能力。读书是我们业余时间能做的最伟大的事情之一。
有了一本书，你可以到任何你想旅行的地方，做任何你想做的事，和任何你想要的人交谈。无论你年龄大，阅读在我们的生活中都很重要。所以我认为人们应该读书。
46 现在什么活动不如以前受欢迎？
读一本书。听收音机。

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 ℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a "good weather" for health. People feel best at a temperature of about I8℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

不同的天气会让人感觉不同。它影响健康、智力和感情。
8月，美国南部非常炎热和潮湿。本月有心脏病和其他健康问题。在东北部和中西部，有时很热，有时很冷。在2月或3月天气变化之后，这些州的人有更多的心脏病。
天气也会影响智力。例如，在一份科学报告中，当强风来时，一群学生的智商很高，但在强风之后，他们的智商比较低10%。风可以帮助人们拥有更多的智慧。非常炎热的天气，另一方面，可以使它降低。美国许多学校的学生在一年中的炎热月份（7 月和 8 月）的考试中经常会越来越差。
天气对人们的感情也有很大的影响。冬天对瘦子来说可能是个不好的时候。在这几个月里，他们通常感到寒冷。在寒冷的天气里，他们可能会感到不快。但是胖子在炎热的夏天可能很难过。在18°C左右，人们会变得更强。
低气压 （3） 可能会让人们健忘， 人们在低压日留在公共汽车和商店里留下更多的袋子。健康有"好天气"。人们在大约 I8°C 的温度下感觉最好。
你今天感到悲伤、疲倦、健忘还是不快乐？可能是天气的问题。

第三十二篇
For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.
Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at "Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art". He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.
Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.

第三十三篇
Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.
A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(汤). On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore"(恢复)your health- in French the word "restore" is “restaurer”--- so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How restaurants developed B. What made a good restaurant.
C. Who created the first restaurant D. Why restaurants became popular.
32. According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?
A. Restaurants only served food B. Restaurants were more expensive
C. Restaurants were mainly in cities D. Restaurants had a list of meal choices
33. Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?
A. Rich people B. Sick people.
C. Travellers. D. Workers.
34. When it was first used. what did the word "restaurant" refer to?
A. A person. B. A place.
C. Illness. D. Soup.
35. When did restaurants begin to grow internationally?
A. In the 1600s. B. In the 1700s.
C. In the 1800s. D. In the 1900s.
Key :31-35 ADBDC
专家认为，目前世界上有800多万家餐馆。因此，你得知餐馆，正如我们所了解的，只存在了几个世纪，这可能会令你感到惊讶。1765年以前，这里没有餐馆。也就是说，没有地方提供餐厅体验。没有哪个地方有侍者给你带了你从菜单上挑选的食物和饮料。事实上，任何地方都没有菜单。
在那之前，有一些地方可以到旅行者那里去。乡村里满是提供食物的旅馆。还有一些小酒馆，在那里人们可以喝酒。富人还可以吃私人厨师准备的特殊饭菜。但是，他们谁也没有可以被称为"餐厅"。
一个叫布朗格的人改变了这一点。1765年，他在巴黎开了一家卖汤的地方。在他的招牌上，他用"餐厅"这个词来形容他卖的东西。当时，汤被认为是可以帮助"恢复"（恢复）你的健康的东西-在法语中，"恢复"一词是"餐馆"---他称汤为"餐厅"。很快，人们开始购买布朗格的汤，即使他们没有生病。随着时间的推移，人们开始使用"餐厅"这个词来指卖汤的地方，而不是汤本身。在法国开设的"餐馆"更多，人们开始购买汤。
后来，巴黎的餐馆开始提供汤以外的其他食物。在1790年代，菜单开始出现。到19世纪中叶，全世界有许多类型的餐馆。美国提供咖啡店。茶馆在中国很流行。巴黎为富人创造了美丽的餐馆。英国人开始模仿法国人，餐馆的想法传遍了整个大英帝国。
如今，城市里挤满了所有类型的餐馆。用餐者有数百万种选择。

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space
Researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
36. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Telescopes. B. Satellites.
C. Pieces of space junk. D. BBC news reports.
37. Why is space junk considered a problem?
A. It buns up after it re-enters the atmosphere
B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth
C. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds
D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or deat
38. Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .
A. the tools can be reused later
B. the tools don't become space junk
C. the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean
D. the effects of space flight can be studied
39. How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?
A. Catch it with nets. B. Use robots to collect it.
C. Burn it in the earth's atmosphere. D. Send it further away from the earth.

许多人知道垃圾是地球上的一大问题。许多人不知道的是，垃圾也成了外层空间的问题。
据英国广播公司报道，有22，000多件太空垃圾漂浮在地球上。这些只是我们可以用望远镜从地球表面看到的东西。还有数百万小块垃圾，我们看不到。
物体，如旧太空火箭或卫星的碎片，以非常高速的速度在地球周围移动，即使是很小的碎片也可能会破坏重要的卫星或成为宇航员的危险。如果最微小的垃圾撞上宇宙飞船，可能会损坏车辆。
更糟的是，当太空中的两个物体坠毁时，它们会分解成许多较小的碎片。例如，2009年，当一颗美国卫星击中一枚俄罗斯老火箭时，它闯入了2000多枚，增加了太空垃圾的数量。
为了减少更多的太空垃圾，各国同意，所有新的太空工具最多只能在太空中停留25年。每个工具都必须在之后安全地落入地球大气层。在大气层的上部，它会燃烧。
许多科学家还建议用不同的方法清理太空垃圾。在英国，科学家正在测试一种金属网，这种金属网可以发射成太空垃圾。网抓住垃圾，然后把它拉进地球大气层燃烧。德国人正在制造机器人，可以收集太空垃圾，并把它们带回地球，以便被安全摧毁。
这个问题变得越来越具有挑战性，因为我们正在向太空发送更多的物体，以帮助人们使用手机和电脑，"意大利空间的Marco Castronuovo说。

My holiday is coming. Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA. They said the best way was to go by bus and told me the reasons.
To fly, of course, is the fastest way, but you can’t see anything during your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds. So it’s not very interesting to you. And the cost is very high.
To travel by train is relaxing, because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it. You can also see cities and the countryside through the windows. But sometimes it's crowded on the train. And it's hard to buy train tickets during holidays.
To travel by bus is easy, cheap and convenient, though not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train. You can find buses almost in every city, big or small. That makes travel easy.
I took their advice. So I decided to take a bus to the south coast for an interesting trip.
21. How many ways to travel are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
22. To travel by train is relaxing because ___________.
A. you can buy food and drinks on it

C. You can buy tickets easily
D. you can talk loudly on it
23. At last the writer decided to travel to the USA______ for the interesting trip.

我的假期快到了。昨天我问我的朋友在美国旅行的最佳方式。他们说最好的办法是乘公共汽车去，告诉我原因。
当然，飞行是最快的方式，但你在空中停留期间除了蓝天白云，看不到任何东西。所以，你不是很有趣。而且成本很高。
乘火车旅行很放松，因为你可以步行，买食物和饮料。您还可以透过窗户看到城市和农村。但有时火车上很拥挤。假期买火车票也很难。
乘坐公共汽车旅行是容易的，便宜和方便的，虽然没有像坐飞机或乘火车那么舒适。你几乎可以在每个城市找到公共汽车，大或小。这使得旅行变得容易。
我听从了他们的建议。所以我决定乘公共汽车去南海岸去一次有趣的旅行。

A squirrel(松鼠)that was nearly killed nine years ago continues to visit the family that saved,
raised and later sent her into the wild.
In October 2009, a four-week-old squirrel was almost killed by an owl(猫头鹰). Luckily, a wildlife rescue group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family in South Carolina. The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into the wild.
The Harrisons named her Bella. With three other squirrels, Bella stayed in Brantley's care until spring. During her stay Bella acted similarly to the other squirrels. In April 2010, the squirrels were sent back into the wild. Bella, however, wasn't ready to leave her human family. Within days of being released, she started visiting them, looking for treats. Brantley said that the other squirrels also came back over the first few days, but within a week they stopped coming by and began to avoid people.
“Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her. She comes almost day,” said Brantley. Her husband John often brings Bella nuts as she is usually waiting by the door for him. Actually Bella has become a member of the family.
For nine years, she continues to visit them. Brantley said, "If Bella can teach at least one person to care for all living things, no matter how big or how small, then we have done what we have set out to.”

Many animals around us are smart. Let’s get to know some of them.
Dolphins are smarter animals in the sea. Researchers put sea animals to a test. In the test, the researchers made red marks on the animal’s bodies and took them in front of a mirror. Many sea animals either ran away or fought with the ones in the mirror. However, when the dolphins saw themselves in the mirror, they tried to clean the red marks off their bodies. So the researchers believed that the dolphins knew the ones in the mirror were just themselves.

Bees work hard, and they are smart enough to learn something. Researchers found a group of bees and taught them to tell which horizontal line (水平线) was higher than the other. If they could find the higher line, they would get sugar as a prize. After training for a period of time, the researchers tested the bees. To their surprise, the bees found the higher horizontal line quickly and got sugar. Instead, when the researchers showed them vertical lines (垂直线), the bees simply flew away, because they knew there was no way to get sugar.

Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are very human-like. They can learn fast and well. Researchers showed the numbers from one to nine on the screen. Chimpanzees and some college students were asked to remember where the numbers were after watching the numbers in less than a second. The adult chimpanzees and the college students performed almost the same, but the young chimpanzees performed much better. It was amazing.
46. In the test, the dolphins _______________.
A. felt afraid and ran away from the mirror
B. tried to fight with the ones in the mirror
C. didn’t find any red marks on their bodies
D. tried to clean the red marks off their bodies
47. When the bees saw the vertical lines, they _________.
A. flew away
B. found the higher line
C. stayed there
D. found the numbers
48. ____________ performed better in remembering where the numbers were.
A. The adult chimpanzees
B. The old chimpanzees
C. The young chimpanzees

我们周围的许多动物都很聪明。让我们了解他们中的一些人。
海豚是海里更聪明的动物。研究人员对海洋动物进行了测试。在测试中，研究人员在动物身上做了红色标记，并把它们放在镜子前。许多海洋动物要么逃跑，要么与镜子里的海动物打架。然而，当海豚在镜子里看到自己时，他们试图清理他们身上的红色痕迹。因此，研究人员认为，海豚知道那些在镜子里只是他们自己。

蜜蜂工作很努力，它们足够聪明，可以学到东西。研究人员发现了一组蜜蜂，并教它们判断哪条水平线比另一条水平线高。如果他们能找到更高的线， 他们会得到糖作为奖品。经过一段时间的训练，研究人员测试了蜜蜂。令他们吃惊的是，蜜蜂很快找到了较高的水平线，并得到了糖。相反，当研究人员向他们展示垂直线时，蜜蜂只是飞走了，因为他们知道没有办法获得糖分。

黑猩猩非常像人一样。他们可以学得很快，学得很好。研究人员在屏幕上显示数字从1到9。黑猩猩和一些大学生被要求记住数字在哪里后，观察的数字在不到一秒钟。成年黑猩猩和大学生的表现几乎相同，但年轻的黑猩猩的表现要好得多。太神奇了

第四十一篇
A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word "listen" has the same letters as the word "silent". Listening silently is a good quality that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?
Listening is really helpful.
When someone is sad or angry, he wants to express his poor feelings. At this moment, we need to listen silently first until he gets calm (冷静的). Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him out.
Listening is a kind of love.
For example, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are anxious about our health, study and so on. If we listen patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful (有力量的) than words.
Listening is polite behavior.
Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. In fact, that's not polite. In order to show our respect(尊重) for others, we had better listen to them first. Then we can express our ideas.
Listening sounds easy， but it's not. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to make ourselves good listeners from now on.
49. When someone is sad or angry, we should _____ first.
A. listen to him silently
B. express our poor feelings
C. talk too much with him
D. tell his parents about it
50. The underlined word "anxious" here probably means "_______".
A. satisfied
B. angry
C. worried
D. excited
51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We should ask others to listen to us first.
B. We should express our ideas first.
C. We should let others respect us first.
D. We had better listen to others first.

一个人有两只耳朵，但只有一张嘴。这意味着我们应该倾听，而不仅仅是说话。"听"字的字母和"沉默"一词的字母相同。默静聆听是我们应该拥有的好品质。那么，为什么做一个好的倾听者很重要呢？
倾听真的很有帮助。
当某人悲伤或生气时，他想表达他可怜的感情。此时此刻，我们需要先静静聆听，直到他平静下来。那我们可能和他好好谈谈。也许这是帮助他的好办法。
倾听是一种爱。
例如，我们可能认为我们的父母总是说太多。但事实上，他们这样做是因为他们对我们的健康、学习等感到焦虑。如果我们耐心地倾听，我们的父母会觉得我们关心他们。爱的沉默往往比言语更强大。
倾听是礼貌的行为。
有时候，我们只是希望别人听我们说话，却忘了听别人的话。事实上，这不是礼貌的。为了表示我们对他人的尊重，我们最好先听他们的。然后，我们可以表达我们的想法。
听听起来很容易，但不是。每个头都是一个世界。因此，我们应该尽可能多地用耳朵、眼睛和心来倾听，并从现在开始努力让自己成为优秀的倾听者。
49. 当某人感到悲伤或生气时，我们应该先生气。
A. 默默地听他的
B. 表达我们可怜的感觉

告诉他父母这件事

During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.
Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan.
Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in
a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位）. To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价）with the sellers.
At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝 ) loudly to attract（吸引）customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.
When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired,” said Dalin. “but we gained a lot”.

From a young age, I’ve had a really deep connection with being outside. I’ve been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I’ve been on expeditions（探险）in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.
It was April 1, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier, both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche（大雪崩）. The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn’t breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up, out of the snowpack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.
I looked down into the bottom of the valley（峡谷）. I could see trees that were 30m tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I’ m going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and l just popped（迸出） right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris（碎片）across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn’t believe it when they saw me. I was
so lucky.
Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don’t know, maybe. But I do know that it’s important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so use it wisely.

第四十八篇
China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
51. In southern China, people usually buy _____ at a time.
A. a small amount of food B. a large amount of food
C. enough food for a week D. a lot of meat and vegetables

中国面积大，人口众多。不同的生活习惯一直是这个国家一个有趣的话题。最近，中国南方和华北人之间的另一个区别成为热点：人们在市场购物的方式。
来自中国南方的人说，他们总是买他们所需要的一两顿饭。他们一次买一半的白菜、两个土豆和0.25公斤牛肉是正常的。
然而，如果他在北方这样做，可能会被嘲笑。相反，买蔬菜和肉足够一个星期是通常的。此外，你可以买少量的水果，如一个单一的苹果或梨，每次在南方。店主甚至帮你剥皮切。但是北方的店主几乎不提供这种服务。许多水果在篮子里和盒子里出售。
差异可能是由于不同的天气。
食物可以在北方长期保存，因为那里通常又冷又干。许多北方人有储存食物的习惯，尤其是在漫长的冬天。但是南方炎热潮湿的天气使得中国南方人只买了足够一顿饭或一天的食物，否则食物可能会不好。
51. 在中国南方，人们通常一次购买_____产品。

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?
In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hip-pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.

I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!" Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls. But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!" But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

Now satellites are helping to forecas（t 预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.

Renting a color television makes more sense than buying. Here’s why:
1. The longer you rent (租), the less you pay. Each year the monthly rate is reduced. You can reach a low rate of not much more than $12 a week.
2. Service is fast and free. We can have your set installed (安装) in two days. If anything goes wrong, we’ll have it fixed the same day or lend you another set while we’re mending it. And don’t forget: service and spare parts are free!
3. If you don’t have an aerial (天线), we’ll install one for you, and that will be free, too. All you have to pay is the installation charge (安装费)!
4. You can choose from all kinds of models, and what’s more, if after a certain period of time, and you would like a new model, you can change. How’s that for service?
5. No deposit (押金) is needed. You pay only the monthly rental fee. But if you pay in advance, you can save money. Pay twelve months’ fees when you begin to hire, and we’ll give you a month’s hire without charge.
6. If you decide that you want to stop renting and buy the set you have on hire, this can be arranged—with a generous allowance (折扣) for the fees already paid.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”. This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food. In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.
1. A recent experiment showed that ________________.
A. different flowers open and close at different times of day
B. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world
C. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room
D. flowers can be used for telling the time
2. The “inner clock” _________________________.
A. is an unimportant discovery B. is only found in animals
B. has not been understood by far D. has an effect on human life
3. Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because ________________.
A. it might help us in some way
B. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough
C. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing
D. we should try to live more naturally than we do now
4. Kept in constant darkness, flowers ________________________.
A. will not open or close as usual
B. will not open any longer
C. will open as they do in natural conditions
D. will always remain in full blossom (开 花)

Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice. At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow.

Knowing about yourself means not only that you find what you are good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you are not good at and what you don’t like. Both help you to see your aim in life. Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed an advanced math course, they have actually learned a great deal about themselves. They know they should not become engineers or physical scientist, and that they should not be good at accounting work. So failing can help a student to lead a much happier life he or she draws the right conclusion from the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would like to do. It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you have any interest or ability. It’s not enough to want to be a violinist.

In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school –--- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take the money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license. Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons. When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100. Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

 New rules and behavior standards(行为规范)for middle school students came out in March. Middle School is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t dye(染) their hair. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
　Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for run or homework. Can’t you find any good! Web sites for children? Here are some: Http:// kids.eastday.com  Http ://www. China kids. net.com    http:www.Cycnet.com

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
6. We know that the word “cool” has had ________.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings
C. many different meanings D. the same meaning
7. In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”
A. see B. show C. know D. feel
8. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with
9. The writer takes an example to show he is _______ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with
10. In the passage, the writer suggests （暗示）that the word “cool” ______.
A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting
C. can make your life colourful D. may not be as cool as it seems

Our sun is a star, and nine worlds (天体) move round it. Worlds like these are planets. But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven’t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard’s Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.

We were going to play against a team from a country school.
They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.
We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.
The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward （前锋）. From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style （姿势）he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.
After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do you best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.

Long long ago people made fires from lightning(闪电)。 But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Them people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires.

French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.
Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.
A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area (谓部). Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.
The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.
Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.
Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements (动作) than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.
Doctors say such a robotic operation will make possible safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.
36. The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means “________.”
A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors
B. something done to mend a robot.
C. an operation done by French and American doctors
D. an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

A. it can send messages in a high speed
B. even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself
C. it can make the operation safer and better
D. operations can be done without and doctors.
38. If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of ________.
A. top doctors B. smaller movement
C. doctor training D. high-speed telecommunications
39. Which of the following is NOT right?
A. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.
B. Robotic operation is good for doctor training

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.

A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?

Many places in the world need more fresh water(淡水). Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh.
Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
In some places, the sun isn't hot enough, or it doesn't shine every day. In these places other ways to heating(加热) sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun.

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%——the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly——almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world wide water shortage (缺少) later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most l arge cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.
16.　The world is thirsty for water because .
A. man hasn't got enough food to eat B. we haven't got enough fresh water
C. only 70% of the earth's surface is water D. more water is sent into sewer systems 
17.The underlined word valuable means .
A. much and salty B. fresh and enough C. dear and useful D. clean and helpful
18.　What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water?
(a) Make full use of the sea water.
(b) Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.
(c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.
(d) Do our best to use the water again.
(e) Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.
A.(c)and(e) B.(a)and(d) C.(a),(c)and(d) D.(b),(d)and(e)
19.The best but the most difficult way to solve (解决) the water problem of the world is to .
A. remove the salt from sea water B. make the water in cities clean
C. take water from underground D. make the need for water smaller
20. What's the best title (标题) for this passage?
A. The Importance of the Water B. The World's Water Problem
C. The Thirsty World D. Fresh Water and Sea Water

Last July, Mr Johnson's 12yearold car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before the sun went down, and he was 25 miles from home. He couldn't reach anyone to pick him up, so he decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes(路线), he thought he'd just head east. A bus pulled up, and he asked the driver how far she was going, "Four more lights", she said. There was another bus he could take from there. “This clearly was going to be a long night." Mr Johnson said to himself.
She dropped Mr Johnson off at the end of her route and told him which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, he began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up.

“Come on," she said. “I have nothing else to do."
As they drove from the station in her car, the driver began telling him a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I'm just passing the favor along," she said.
