Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.

She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked(锁上的). “How will I ever get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.

“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.

“It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said. “What will it do to me?” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.

“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now,” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”

She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small!The key was high above her, on the top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.

Pearl and June were good friends and spent most of their time together.

They were both very old and they worried about their health. Most of the time they talked

about nothing else.

They worried about their food. Was it clean? Would it give them pains in the stomach?

They worried about the weather. Was it too cold and wet? Would it give them pains in their

bones?

They worried about pollution in the air. Would it give them pains in their chests(胸部) and

throats(喉咙)?

They worried about being hurt in a car accident, killed in a plane crash, getting sick, and so

on.

All they could think about was being ill or hurt.

One day they went on a train journey together.

“We’ll need some food,” Pearl said.

“We’ll buy some bananas,” June said. “They are good to eat and always clean.”

And so they bought two bananas to eat on the train.

It was not long before they were hungry.

Pearl took out the bananas and gave one to June. Then she peeled(剥) the skin of her banana

and took a large bite of it.

At that moment the train went into a tunnel. Everything went black.“Don’t eat your banana,”

Pearl shouted at June. “Mine has made me go blind!”

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In

September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It

has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态) water. Scientists think

there is a chance that the planet could have life.

The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light years

from the earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres—500 million times farther away from

us than the moon.

A spacecraft travelling at a one tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within

about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier.

However, our fastest spacecraft doesn’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.

At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they

know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right

distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.

Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese

581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation(放射).

By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the

planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere

would give us a good idea whether the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years

before we can do this properly.

People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion

about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.

( )27. What did scientists find in September 2010?

A. A planet with water. B. A planet similar to the earth.

C. A planet without life. D. A planet near the earth.

( )28. According to the article, Gliese 581g .

A. is at the right distance from its star

B. moves around the earth

C. is as far away from us as the moon

D. can be reached in about 220 years

( )29. Paragraph 5 is mainly about .

A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g

B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g

C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g

D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g

( )30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?

A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet

B. Gliese 581, a Likely Living Planet

C. Gliese 581g and Its Star

Who is the superstar of the cat world? It has to be Uncle Cat. Uncle Cat is a fat white cat living in the countryside of Japan. He is already nine years old, as old as our 50-year-old uncle in

cat years. That’s why he gets the nickname(绰号) Uncle Cat.

Uncle Cat is a lazy cat. He often half shuts his eyes and lies in the sun. It makes him look relaxed and peaceful. He also enjoys himself in a basket, so he has another name: Basket Cat.

Uncle Cat is clever. He knows exactly how to make himself look cool—to wear a pair of sunglasses. From hats to flowers, Uncle Cat likes everything that makes him a different cat.

Uncle Cat’s owner likes to take pictures of Uncle Cat. To his surprise, these photos are very popular on the Internet. They make people from all over the world know and love this cute cat. Recently, a big earthquake happened in Uncle Cat’s home town. But don’t worry. Uncle Cat is also a lucky cat. He is safe and sound. That means there will be more photos of Uncle Cat on time and he will soon bring us more fun!

What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.

The Tree House

Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root(根)” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil(土壤) to control the home’s temperature.

The Lizard House

Like a lizard(蜥蜴), changing colours with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

Meals at Home

This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture(建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals. Learning from the Past

Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques(古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney(烟囱) can be a useful air

conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.

( )19. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?

A. It will take in light. B. It will produce energy.

C. It will turn dark. D. It will turn white.

( )20. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .

A. will be more delicious B. need more cooks

C. cost as much as possible D. will be greener

( )21. A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause .

A. pollution B. accidents C. noise D. techniques

It’s hard to imagine life without the Internet. How greatly it has changed our lives in the past 15 years since it was widely used. At the same time, however, the Internet has also caused some traditions to fall away(消失).

Email is quicker and cheaper. Getting a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare(稀有的) pleasure.

Who would like to pay 60 yuan for 12 songs in a plastic case if you can find music on the Internet for free?

When almost any fact can be found within seconds through Google and Baidu, personal memory becomes less important. The Web can remember it for us.

When was the last time you watched the world out of a window? When was the last time you read a favourite book once again? When was the last time you sat in the cinema with your family? More and more people lose themselves in the Internet. They show less interest and spend less time in the outside world.

You’ve spent the past few years talking with your friends on QQ, or reading about his or her QQ square, so meeting a friend is no longer as important as it once was.

Have you ever found yourself doing homework with one eye on a QQ Space window? A growing number of people say the Internet is stopping young people from fixing their attention on anything for a long time.

When you surf the Internet, it feels like something you’re enjoying and nobody knows it. But when you realise just how many people are watching your every move, it might just make you mad. Many people have realised their personal information can be found easily on the Internet even they don’t want to.

( )22. According to the passage, the Internet has been widely used since ago.

A. 12 years B. 14 years C. 15 years D. 60 years

( )23. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that people spend more time these days.

A. surfing the Internet B. going to the cinema

C. reading favourite books D. watching the outside world

( )24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Personal memory becomes more important.

B. People get fewer handwritten letters from their friends now.

C. You have to pay if you want to find some music on the Internet.

D. Internet can help young people fix their attention on anything.

( )25. From the passage we can learn that the writer when some traditions are falling away.

A. doesn’t care B. seems happy

C. feels interested D. is worried

Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter. A man with a walking stick is

pictured there. A bird called a California condor(大秃鹫) is flying overhead. Who is this man,

and why is he so important that he is featured(处于显著地位) on the back of a coin?

The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a

young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than

a thousand miles across the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the

places he visited, describing their beauty.

Muir also wrote about problems. In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle,

many trees were being cut down. This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that

trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them. Muir believed that nature

should be conserved(保护) instead of being changed by human beings. He wrote articles in

magazines and newspapers to spread the words about conserving forests. Soon, others began to

listen.

Muir wrote letters to important people, such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The

president admired Muir’s love for nature. When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California, Muir

convinced(说服) the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they

could talk about conservation. Later, President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for

national forests and established(建立) five national parks. National parks are large areas of land

that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses

there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park, the area that is featured on the back of the

California quarter.

Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died, people continue his

work today. His work as a conservationist helped us to see the beauty of our natural world. John

Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources—then, now,

and for the future.

( )26. What did John Muir spend much of his life doing when he was a young man?

A. Watching natural views.

B. Writing about the places he visited.

C. Exploring the beauty of the wilderness.

D. Creating farmland for sheep and cattle.

( )27. Why did President Theodore Roosevelt visit John Muir?

A. Because Roosevelt loved watching nature.

B. Because Roosevelt received letters from John Muir.

C. Because Roosevelt admired John Muir’s love for nature.

D. Because Roosevelt was sad about the problems with farmland.

( )28. What happened after President Roosevelt went camping with John Muir?

A. Many trees were cut down.

B. Five national parks were established.

C. More homes and businesses were built.

D. More farmland was used for sheep and cattle.

( )29. Why is John Muir featured on the back of a California state quarter?

A. Because he walked over a thousand miles across the country.

B. Because he helped people understand the importance of protecting the natural world.

C. Because he wrote articles to spread the words about conserving forests.

D. Because he once wrote several letters to President Theodore Roosevelt.

( )30. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article?

A. To advise readers to become active conservationists.

C. To tell us something about an important person in history.

D. To give information about how to conserve the environment.

After our hospital visit, my husband and I needed cheering up, so we thought we would treat ourselves to a big breakfast at our favourite restaurant. While we were waiting for our meals, we decided to use all our small change and make our wallets light, so we counted it out as we waited.

I vaguely(含糊地) remembered seeing a man sitting nearby. When our meals arrived, we

found a note. It read, “Your breakfast has been paid for. Hope you have a lovely day.”

It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever happened to us. He must have thought we could hardly pay the bill. We looked around to thank him, but he had left.

When the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn’t able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He patiently tore the map up into pieces. Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table. He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world. He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished. Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

After about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished, Dad. Can we play now?”

The man was surprised, saying, “That’s amazing!How did you do that?”

You are probably familiar with the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:

An apple a day may keep aging away.

The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.

It turned out that those fruit flies which were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies which were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk, climb and move about as they aged.

According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses, as well as aging.

In another study, the researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.

The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.

Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first “extra-healthy” apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.

The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off, the plant, which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.

( )27. Why were fruit flies used for the research?

A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.

B. Because they have a history as long as apples.

C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.

D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.

( )28. What result did the researchers find out?

A. Apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.

B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals which cause aging.

C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.

D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.

( )29. What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?

A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.

B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.

C. They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.

D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits. ( )30. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.

B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.

C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.

D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.

Host: How far do you go sailing?

Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-song writers in the world.

Jack was born on May 18, 1975 in Hawaii. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack usually

has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the age of 17, Jack

entered the finals of the Pineline Masters—the world’s most famous surfing competition.

Everyone thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month

later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.

Life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practise playing

the guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only

did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.

When studying in the university, Jack didn’t stop practising his guitar skills. He played the

guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his

songs. His first music album Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His

second album, On and On, was much like his first. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs

that everybody liked listening to. Later, Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He

became popular all over the world.

Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million copies of them were sold. His music

doesn’t fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, rock, R&B or hip-hop. It is more like folk

music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on

the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.

Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we

can find his secret of success. Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best

we can.

Mobile phones and the Internet have improved our lives in many ways. However, along

with improvements, they have also brought a number of worrying problems.

Many car accidents are caused by mobile phones. You can use many new mobile phones to

get on the Internet. This can be very convenient, but some drivers get on the Internet while driving.

Driving needs all our attention. By looking at their mobile phones and not at the road, these

insensitive drivers are a danger to us all.

Many of the dangers of the Internet are well known. Children who visit websites without

their parents’ permission sometimes talk to older people they don’t know and put themselves in

great danger. People with blogs sometimes post embarrassing photographs of people they don’t

know on their websites without permission. There are also people who use the Internet to get

personal information that we do not want them to have.

Mobile Phone and Internet Safety Tips

◆If you need to use a mobile phone with your drive, use a “hands-free” phone.

◆In difficult driving situations such as rain or snow, do not use your phone at all.

◆Do not make very important phone calls while driving. They take your attention off the road.

◆Tell your children not to talk with anyone they do not know on the Internet.

◆In an embarrassing situation, pay attention to people around you. People will be shy about

taking your pictures if they know you’re paying attention.

It was the last day of the final examinations at a large college. On the steps of one building,

a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was about to begin. On their faces

was confidence. This was their last exam before they graduated(毕业) and found jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they would get. With four years

of college study, they felt ready and able to conquer(征服) the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be easy. The professor(教授) had said they could bring any

book or note they wanted, but they couldn’t talk to each other during the test.

They walked into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. The students’ smiles

became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions.

Three hours passed and the exam came to an end. Then the professor began to collect the

papers. The students no longer looked confident. They seemed worried. No one spoke as the

professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.

She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked,“How many students

completed all the five questions?”

Not a hand was put up.

“How many of you answered four?” Still no hands.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class stayed silent. The professor

put down the papers. “That is just what I expected,” she said.

“I just wanted to make sure you realise that even though you have studied engineering for

four years, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. Instead of testing you on

what you have learned in this class, I’ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the

world outside the classroom. You can’t expect to be an expert(专家) on the day you graduate.

You have to learn as you go.”

Then, smiling, she added, “You will all pass this course, but remember that your education

has just begun.”

( )42. How did the students feel at first?

A. Sad. B. Disappointed. C. Excited. D. Confident.

( )43. What does the underlined word “restlessly” mean in the passage?

A. Confidently. B. Proudly. C. Excitedly. D. Nervously.

( )44. Why did the professor design the final exam in such a way?

A. To make the students realise that they still had much to learn after graduation.

B. To find out whether the students could put what they had learned into practice.

C. To show that she had much more knowledge than her students in engineering.

D. To examine whether the students learned what they had been taught in her class.

( )45. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Playful Joke B. A Lucky Chance

C. A Strange Professor D. A Special Exam

Not only will it make it easier for you to face personal interviews but also to

communicate with the local people and fellow students. The more you speak to people, the more

quickly you’ll end up making friends. What a way to drive the blues away!

These tips for studying abroad can go a long way in making your stay a truly memorable one.

Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.

She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked(锁上的). “How will I ever get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.

Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimetres high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright

flowers.

“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.

After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters.

“It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said. “What will it do to me?” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.

“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now,” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”

She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small!The key was high above her, on the top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.

Mr Scott was the owner of a shop. He lived by himself in a small room above his shop. He

was always afraid that someone might break into his shop at night.

One day, when he checked his money after closing up, he found he had almost 10,000

dollars. He thought keeping so much money in the shop was a dangerous thing. So he took the

money with him to his bedroom, put it in the pocket of his coat and went to bed with his coat on.

At midnight the doorbell rang and woke him up. He got out of the bed and called out in a shaky

Pearl and June were good friends and spent most of their time together.

They were both very old and they worried about their health. Most of the time they talked

about nothing else.

They worried about their food. Was it clean? Would it give them pains in the stomach?

They worried about the weather. Was it too cold and wet? Would it give them pains in their

bones?

They worried about pollution in the air. Would it give them pains in their chests(胸部) and

throats(喉咙)?

They worried about being hurt in a car accident, killed in a plane crash, getting sick, and so

on.

All they could think about was being ill or hurt.

One day they went on a train journey together.

“We’ll need some food,” Pearl said.

“We’ll buy some bananas,” June said. “They are good to eat and always clean.”

And so they bought two bananas to eat on the train.

It was not long before they were hungry.

Pearl took out the bananas and gave one to June. Then she peeled(剥) the skin of her banana

and took a large bite of it.

At that moment the train went into a tunnel. Everything went black.“Don’t eat your banana,”

Pearl shouted at June. “Mine has made me go blind!”

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In

September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It

has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态) water. Scientists think

there is a chance that the planet could have life.

The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light years

from the earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres—500 million times farther away from

us than the moon.

A spacecraft travelling at a one tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within

about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier.

However, our fastest spacecraft doesn’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.

At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they

know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right

distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.

Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese

581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation(放射).

By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the

planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere

would give us a good idea whether the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years

before we can do this properly.

People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion

about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.

( )27. What did scientists find in September 2010?

A. A planet with water. B. A planet similar to the earth.

C. A planet without life. D. A planet near the earth.

( )28. According to the article, Gliese 581g .

A. is at the right distance from its star

B. moves around the earth

C. is as far away from us as the moon

D. can be reached in about 220 years

( )29. Paragraph 5 is mainly about .

A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g

B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g

C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g

D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g

( )30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?

A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet

B. Gliese 581, a Likely Living Planet

C. Gliese 581g and Its Star

D. Gliese 581g and Radiation

Who is the superstar of the cat world? It has to be Uncle Cat. Uncle Cat is a fat white cat living in the countryside of Japan. He is already nine years old, as old as our 50-year-old uncle in

cat years. That’s why he gets the nickname(绰号) Uncle Cat.

Uncle Cat is a lazy cat. He often half shuts his eyes and lies in the sun. It makes him look relaxed and peaceful. He also enjoys himself in a basket, so he has another name: Basket Cat.

Uncle Cat is clever. He knows exactly how to make himself look cool—to wear a pair of sunglasses. From hats to flowers, Uncle Cat likes everything that makes him a different cat.

Uncle Cat’s owner likes to take pictures of Uncle Cat. To his surprise, these photos are very popular on the Internet. They make people from all over the world know and love this cute cat. Recently, a big earthquake happened in Uncle Cat’s home town. But don’t worry. Uncle Cat is also a lucky cat. He is safe and sound. That means there will be more photos of Uncle Cat on time and he will soon bring us more fun!

What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.

The Tree House

Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root(根)” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil(土壤) to control the home’s temperature.

The Lizard House

Like a lizard(蜥蜴), changing colours with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

Meals at Home

This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture(建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals. Learning from the Past

Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques(古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney(烟囱) can be a useful air

conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.

( )19. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?

A. It will take in light. B. It will produce energy.

C. It will turn dark. D. It will turn white.

( )20. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .

A. will be more delicious B. need more cooks

C. cost as much as possible D. will be greener

( )21. A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause .

A. pollution B. accidents C. noise D. techniques

It’s hard to imagine life without the Internet. How greatly it has changed our lives in the past 15 years since it was widely used. At the same time, however, the Internet has also caused some traditions to fall away(消失).

Email is quicker and cheaper. Getting a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare(稀有的) pleasure.

Who would like to pay 60 yuan for 12 songs in a plastic case if you can find music on the Internet for free?

When almost any fact can be found within seconds through Google and Baidu, personal memory becomes less important. The Web can remember it for us.

When was the last time you watched the world out of a window? When was the last time you read a favourite book once again? When was the last time you sat in the cinema with your family? More and more people lose themselves in the Internet. They show less interest and spend less time in the outside world.

You’ve spent the past few years talking with your friends on QQ, or reading about his or her QQ square, so meeting a friend is no longer as important as it once was.

Have you ever found yourself doing homework with one eye on a QQ Space window? A growing number of people say the Internet is stopping young people from fixing their attention on anything for a long time.

When you surf the Internet, it feels like something you’re enjoying and nobody knows it. But when you realise just how many people are watching your every move, it might just make you mad. Many people have realised their personal information can be found easily on the Internet even they don’t want to.

( )22. According to the passage, the Internet has been widely used since ago.

A. 12 years B. 14 years C. 15 years D. 60 years

( )23. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that people spend more time these days.

A. surfing the Internet B. going to the cinema

C. reading favourite books D. watching the outside world

( )24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Personal memory becomes more important.

B. People get fewer handwritten letters from their friends now.

C. You have to pay if you want to find some music on the Internet.

D. Internet can help young people fix their attention on anything.

( )25. From the passage we can learn that the writer when some traditions are falling away.

A. doesn’t care B. seems happy

C. feels interested D. is worried

Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter. A man with a walking stick is

pictured there. A bird called a California condor(大秃鹫) is flying overhead. Who is this man,

and why is he so important that he is featured(处于显著地位) on the back of a coin?

The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a

young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than

a thousand miles across the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the

places he visited, describing their beauty.

Muir also wrote about problems. In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle,

many trees were being cut down. This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that

trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them. Muir believed that nature

should be conserved(保护) instead of being changed by human beings. He wrote articles in

magazines and newspapers to spread the words about conserving forests. Soon, others began to

listen.

Muir wrote letters to important people, such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The

president admired Muir’s love for nature. When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California, Muir

convinced(说服) the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they

could talk about conservation. Later, President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for

national forests and established(建立) five national parks. National parks are large areas of land

that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses

there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park, the area that is featured on the back of the

California quarter.

Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died, people continue his

work today. His work as a conservationist helped us to see the beauty of our natural world. John

Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources—then, now,

and for the future.

( )26. What did John Muir spend much of his life doing when he was a young man?

A. Watching natural views.

B. Writing about the places he visited.

C. Exploring the beauty of the wilderness.

D. Creating farmland for sheep and cattle.

( )27. Why did President Theodore Roosevelt visit John Muir?

A. Because Roosevelt loved watching nature.

B. Because Roosevelt received letters from John Muir.

C. Because Roosevelt admired John Muir’s love for nature.

D. Because Roosevelt was sad about the problems with farmland.

( )28. What happened after President Roosevelt went camping with John Muir?

A. Many trees were cut down.

B. Five national parks were established.

C. More homes and businesses were built.

D. More farmland was used for sheep and cattle.

( )29. Why is John Muir featured on the back of a California state quarter?

A. Because he walked over a thousand miles across the country.

B. Because he helped people understand the importance of protecting the natural world.

C. Because he wrote articles to spread the words about conserving forests.

D. Because he once wrote several letters to President Theodore Roosevelt.

( )30. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article?

A. To advise readers to become active conservationists.

After our hospital visit, my husband and I needed cheering up, so we thought we would treat ourselves to a big breakfast at our favourite restaurant. While we were waiting for our meals, we decided to use all our small change and make our wallets light, so we counted it out as we waited.

I vaguely(含糊地) remembered seeing a man sitting nearby. When our meals arrived, we

found a note. It read, “Your breakfast has been paid for. Hope you have a lovely day.”

It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever happened to us. He must have thought we could hardly pay the bill. We looked around to thank him, but he had left. As retirees(退休者), we were grateful for the help like this, but it was the kindness of a total stranger that meant so much more to us.

There was a man who had a little son. He loved him very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.

When the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn’t able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He patiently tore the map up into pieces. Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table. He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world. He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished. Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

After about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished, Dad. Can we play now?”

You are probably familiar with the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:

An apple a day may keep aging away.

The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.

It turned out that those fruit flies which were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies which were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk, climb and move about as they aged.

According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses, as well as aging.

In another study, the researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.

The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.

Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first “extra-healthy” apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.

The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off, the plant, which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.

( )27. Why were fruit flies used for the research?

A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.

B. Because they have a history as long as apples.

C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.

D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.

( )28. What result did the researchers find out?

A. Apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.

B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals which cause aging.

C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.

D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.

( )29. What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?

A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.

B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.

C. They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.

D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits. ( )30. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.

B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.

C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.

D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.

Host: How far do you go sailing?

Sue: It depends on the wind.

Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-song writers in the world.

Jack was born on May 18, 1975 in Hawaii. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack usually

has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the age of 17, Jack

entered the finals of the Pineline Masters—the world’s most famous surfing competition.

Everyone thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month

later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.

Life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practise playing

the guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only

did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.

When studying in the university, Jack didn’t stop practising his guitar skills. He played the

guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his

songs. His first music album Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His

second album, On and On, was much like his first. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs

that everybody liked listening to. Later, Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He

became popular all over the world.

Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million copies of them were sold. His music

doesn’t fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, rock, R&B or hip-hop. It is more like folk

music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on

the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.

Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we

can find his secret of success. Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best

we can.

Mobile phones and the Internet have improved our lives in many ways. However, along

with improvements, they have also brought a number of worrying problems.

Many car accidents are caused by mobile phones. You can use many new mobile phones to

get on the Internet. This can be very convenient, but some drivers get on the Internet while driving.

Driving needs all our attention. By looking at their mobile phones and not at the road, these

insensitive drivers are a danger to us all.

Many of the dangers of the Internet are well known. Children who visit websites without

their parents’ permission sometimes talk to older people they don’t know and put themselves in

great danger. People with blogs sometimes post embarrassing photographs of people they don’t

know on their websites without permission. There are also people who use the Internet to get

personal information that we do not want them to have.

Mobile Phone and Internet Safety Tips

◆If you need to use a mobile phone with your drive, use a “hands-free” phone.

◆In difficult driving situations such as rain or snow, do not use your phone at all.

◆Do not make very important phone calls while driving. They take your attention off the road.

◆Tell your children not to talk with anyone they do not know on the Internet.

◆In an embarrassing situation, pay attention to people around you. People will be shy about

taking your pictures if they know you’re paying attention.

It was the last day of the final examinations at a large college. On the steps of one building,

a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was about to begin. On their faces

was confidence. This was their last exam before they graduated(毕业) and found jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they would get. With four years

of college study, they felt ready and able to conquer(征服) the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be easy. The professor(教授) had said they could bring any

book or note they wanted, but they couldn’t talk to each other during the test.

They walked into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. The students’ smiles

became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions.

Three hours passed and the exam came to an end. Then the professor began to collect the

papers. The students no longer looked confident. They seemed worried. No one spoke as the

professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.

She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked,“How many students

completed all the five questions?”

Not a hand was put up.

“How many of you answered four?” Still no hands.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class stayed silent. The professor

put down the papers. “That is just what I expected,” she said.

“I just wanted to make sure you realise that even though you have studied engineering for

four years, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. Instead of testing you on

what you have learned in this class, I’ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the

world outside the classroom. You can’t expect to be an expert(专家) on the day you graduate.

You have to learn as you go.”

Then, smiling, she added, “You will all pass this course, but remember that your education

has just begun.”

( )42. How did the students feel at first?

A. Sad. B. Disappointed. C. Excited. D. Confident.

( )43. What does the underlined word “restlessly” mean in the passage?

A. Confidently. B. Proudly. C. Excitedly. D. Nervously.

( )44. Why did the professor design the final exam in such a way?

A. To make the students realise that they still had much to learn after graduation.

B. To find out whether the students could put what they had learned into practice.

C. To show that she had much more knowledge than her students in engineering.

D. To examine whether the students learned what they had been taught in her class.

( )45. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Playful Joke B. A Lucky Chance

C. A Strange Professor D. A Special Exam

Studying Abroad

Are you planning to study in a foreign university? Well, then you certainly come to the

right place. These tips for studying abroad will surely make you feel at home in a new city.

Before you leave for another country, make sure that you know a lot about its culture,

customs and traditions. In this way, you will be able to enjoy your new life.

This is perhaps the most important thing to remember before you set off to foreign

countries to study. Make notes of all the essential papers you would need before and during your

stay abroad, especially the passport and visa.

When you decide to take a course abroad, it is exactly important that you should

research well. Talk to people who have finished their studies from that university or who are

planning to move to the same university. This way you’ll get some believable information.

Not only will it make it easier for you to face personal interviews but also to

communicate with the local people and fellow students. The more you speak to people, the more

quickly you’ll end up making friends. What a way to drive the blues away!

These tips for studying abroad can go a long way in making your stay a truly memorable one.

A. Learn about the Country
