It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves(狼)that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur. As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death. Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves dash(冲)at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general(将军)moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal. If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked(进攻)me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back. 1. How did the writer feel when he caught sight of the wolves? A. He felt very surprised B. He felt very happy. C.

I was looking at the pictures in the pattern(图案)book, trying to decide what to be for Halloween. I wanted to be a fairy princess (公主), but I didn’t get a chance to ask Mom to help me find that page. She was busy. All the women were bent over Lucy’s carrier. Mom wasn’t even looking at me. Lucy started to cry. Mom asked me, “Mary, have you decided yet?” Last year we picked out my costume(流行的服饰) together. I looked down at the book and saw a picture of a kid in a banana costume. I pointed at the banana. Mom bought the banana pattern and a pea-pod(豌豆荚) pattern for Lucy. When Mom finished making my costume, I knew I had made a mistake. Mom said it was too late. So, in the evening I was going to be at the Halloween party , a big banana in yellow tight(裤袜). “ Everyone will laugh at me.” I thought. When we walked to the party, everyone smiled at cute baby Lucy who was on my mother’s back. Everyone, the clowns(小丑) and the pop stars and the grown-ups, smiled when they saw my costume. Some of them told me I was cute. I guessed people liked bananas. I realized that it didn’t bother me when people laughed. I kind of liked it. I smiled. And everyone was looking at me.

It blew around then cold and wet. “Just keep gong downhill,” said Judy. “We can’t go wrong. ” Then Paul fell on some rocks. He shouted. “Judy! I’ve hurt my leg!” He couldn’t stand up. His leg hurt too much. “I’ll have to phone for help,” said Judy. “I hope the mobile phone works up here!” Luckily it did.

On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly(愉快地) enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station. ( )1. The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because_________.

Most mornings, we’d stop at a local convenience store, getting a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me. The clerk at the store we chose to visit refreshed our lives each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’ m not even sure that she was realizing that her energy put a smile on the face of each customer. When a customer brought cookies to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cookies? ” Instead, she inquired,“Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cookies?” She might have asked me if I wanted a donut with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?” Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh. Sometimes, if my day at the church had been particularly tiring, we’d stop at that store before heading home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us. “Would you like some shampoo with that soda?” 1.What did the writer do a few years ago? A.

She was foolish. 5.The clerk at the store may ask the customers,“ ” 7、阅读理解 People often say, “Children can’t do math problems, it’s because parents can’t do their children’s homework. ” Here’s an example to show what I mean. The other day my daughter brought home her math homework. “I have to subtract (减) 179 from 202,” she said. “It’s quite easy,” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179. ” “But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?” “I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23. ” “We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10. ” “Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202. ” Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, “In the right-hand column (栏) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was clear. I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I started putting pills of medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take?” my wife asked. “I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now. ” ( )1.

You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life? Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025. Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.” Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water – at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said. The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters. The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen. 1: The purpose of the text is to _________. A. tell us what life is like in Yemen B. draw our attention to water shortage C. remind us how important water is D. show us ways of solving problems 2: The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.

Sanaa will run out of water in 10 years B. Hannan is a teenager from a rich family C. the capital of Yemen is developing fast D. private companies make a lot of money 9、Jeremy Lin grew up in Palo Alto, California.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked. Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…”He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love that.” After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?” Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high place in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high place in the government. These people value(重视)their beliefs, or their wisdom, or their healthy. They think these can make them happy. Here are the ways to help you be happier. The secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends.

It is a day for school safety education. This year, the day falls on March 25. It helps students learn more about safety and make sure they are safe. What are some accidents at school? How can you keep yourself safe? Take a look! The main accidents at school are stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires. A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend(弯) your body and legs. Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everything is moving, quickly get under a desk and hold on, according to China Earthquake Administration(地震局). If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines(电线). When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire, but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself lower to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air. 1. Students can learn about_________ on March 25. A. school safety B. traffic accidents C. forest fires D. family rules 2. In a stampede, if you fall down in a crowd you might behave(行为) in this order(顺序): ① put your hands around your head ② bend your body and legs ③ move to one side A. ①--②--③ B. ①--③--② C.②--③--① D. ③--②--① 3. We can learn from the last paragraph(段落) that________. A. don’t push when there is a fire B. accidents sometimes happen in schools C. smoke is also very dangerous in a fire D. you should take a look first in fire 16、Next time you’re unhappy or complaining about your life, don’t turn to a cheerful comedy. You might find a tear-jerking tragedy(催人泪下的悲剧) is just the thing you need to brighten your day. A team of researchers at Ohio State University, US, has found sad movies can make people happier, Science Daily reported last month. Many people find tragedies make them realize how good their own lives are, the study showed. “People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important relationships in their own lives,” said Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, leader of the study. “Tragic stories often focus on themes of eternal(永恒的) love, and this leads viewers to think about their loved ones and count their good and helpful things.” In the study, researchers gathered 361 college students and showed them the 2007 movie, Atonement. The movie is about two lovers who are separated(分离) and finally die during World War II. Before and after the movie, the students were asked questions measuring(衡量) how happy they were with their lives. Researchers also asked them before, after and three times during the movie to measure various emotions, including sadness. Researchers found that the sadder students felt while watching the movie, the more likely they were to think about real people they had close relationships with in life. This increased their happiness after watching the movie. Knobloch-Westerwick explained that negative(消极的) moods make people more thoughtful. “Positive(积极的) emotions show that everything is fine, you don’t have to worry, you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a tragic movie may make you sad, but that will make you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate them more.” The link between watching a tragic story and feeling better has long been recognized. The ancient Greeks even had a word for the feeling of happiness after seeing something sad that led to the modern English word “catharsis (宣泄)”. The study also showed that relationships are a very important source of happiness in our lives, so it is no surprise that thinking about your loved ones makes you happier, researchers said. 1. Which of the following about the study of Ohio State University is NOT true? A. Only sadness is measured in the study. B. Students’ emotions are measured by asking questions. C. The study shows relationships are a source of happiness. D. Those who felt sadder when watching the movie were more likely to be happier after that. 2. Why are ancient Greeks mentioned in the passage? A. To introduce the meaning of the word “Catharsis”. B. To explain the importance of knowing how to become happier. C. To prove that they were of high intelligence and guessed its meaning. D. To tell readers the relationship between tragedies and happiness was found long ago. 3. From Knobloch-Westerwick’s explanation, we can learn that . A. seeing tragedies makes you more thoughtful B. positive emotions make you think more about your relationships C. negative emotions show you have no need to think about your situation D. after seeing comedies, you will appreciate your close relationships more 4. Which is the title of the passage? A. Watching sad films may start smiles B. There is eternal love in the world C. It’s useless to complain about life D. Comedies should make way for tragedies 17、Cars are lots of fun,but they could also be dangerous.We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them. It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car.Why?Think about this example:You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push.If the skateboard hits a stone,it will stop,but the egg won't.It will fly through the air,hit the ground and break. Now,think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard.When the skateboard hits a stone,the egg won't go flying;it will stay safely on the skateboard. Volvo,a famous Swedish carmaker,was the first to use seat belts in 1849. Air bags are also very important for car safety,because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough.If the car is going really fast and runs into something,seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats.When a car hits something,its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe. ( ) 1.The passage mainly tells us ______. A.two important ways to keep safe in cars B.how air bags work to make cars safe C.how seat belts work to make cars safe ( ) 2.The writer gives the example of the egg to ______. A.tell us that eggs are easy to break B.show how to wear a seat belt C.show why it's important to wear a seat belt in a car ( ) 3.Seat belts can make us safer because ______. A.we are interested in them B.they can stop us from hitting other cars C.they can help us stay safely on the seats ( ) 4.Air bags are important for cars because ______. A.they are made of plastic B.they can also help us to keep safe in a car C.they can keep cars running slowly ( )5.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A.It won't be dangerous if there are seat belts or air bags in a car. B.Now most of new cars still have only one air bag. C.Volvo was the first to use seat belts. 18、 According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence. Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job’ or 'nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise. Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students. "It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is." 1. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______. A. always look for praise B. increase self-confidence C. become strong D. do better in their studies 2. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______. A. make them live more happily B. let them do more difficult work C. help them do better in school D. encourage them to improve 3. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? A. Praise makes children become successful. B. Children don’t know what they’re really good at. C. The same praise for all children has no meaning. D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children’s strengths. 4. The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refers to _________. A. the effect B. the praise C. the advantage D. the confidence 5. What is the last paragraph about? A. It’s important to have the habit of praising children. B. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible. C. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes. D. What children with high self-confidence are like. 19、 Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle(挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly. When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives. Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them. 1. From the story we know that the butterfly can’t fly because ________. A. it gets out by itself B. the man feels sorry for it C. it tries to challenge itself D. the man helps it come out 2. Dennis’s example shows that successful people should ________. A. overcome the difficulties B. take up business early C. become the leaders of tomorrow D. sell clothes from door to door 3.

Describe where a butterfly comes from. B. Encourage young people to face challenges. C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman. D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam 5. What is the best title for this passage? A. Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement B. Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively C. Countries Should Continue to Become Successful D. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People 20、A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once. Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air. “My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ¥ l00!” Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE. You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it! 1. Even though it was dirty, the money _______.

On the show, the five fathers and their children traveled around China, riding camels (骆驼) through the western deserts, fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare (费用) home in southwestern Yunnan province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, so some people try to help him. Another one must survive (生存) with his son for three days in the desert, because the father can’t cook, they only eat instant noodles. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad?so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kids. The show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids. “In traditional Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more involved (参与) in their growing.” said Li Minyi, a professor (教授) of early childhood education. In the past, children were taught to obey their parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But today Chinese parents increasingly realize that respecting (尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society.

That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factories—or even the jammed roadways of modern cities—are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO. What’s causing the air inside people’s homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11,000 people a day? Stoves. “Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.” says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in 2013. Not all stoves cause this kind of harm. The ones Smith’s talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable. Breathing this air day in day out finally causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease. And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves. Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children. In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease. 1. According to Kirk Smith’s research, ________. A. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays B. burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerous C. household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmful D. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should 2.

Teenager need nine to ten hours. And pre-school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night. Experts say the quality(质量)of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older. This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age. Experts say the change starts in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, a person may have lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep. These people have trouble failing and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, these problems only get worse, and they can have a bad effect on their health. Signs that show you may not be getting enough sleep.

Our eating habits have changed, so has our way of life, and what we need for our bodies is alos different. Traditional diets often have too much fat. So we had better learn to make the right choices about what and how we eat. Whe we choose what to buy and eat, we had better think whether the food will give us the nutrients we need. Some nutrients help build our bodies and make them stronger. We eat fish, meat and beans because the nutrient in them is good for our muscles. We choose eggs, milk and other dairy products(奶制品), which are good for our bones and teeth. We eat bread,rice and noodles to get carbohydrats (糖类) from them. We choose vegetables and fruits get Vitamins, fiber and minerals. But the choice we make are not just about nutrition(营养). Many today choose what to eat according to their belielfs.

Sleep and our immune(免疫)system The immune system protects the body from diseases and infections(传染). Not getting enough sleep hurts this protective system. The Mayo Clinic is a research hospital in the United States. Its website explains that when we sleep our bodies produce proteins(蛋白质) that support sleep and help us fight infections. They add that infection-fighting antibodies(抗体) are reduced during periods when you don’t get enough sleep. A new study from the University of Washington in the U.S. seems to confirm this. Dr. Nathaniel Watson was the lead writer of the study. Watson says his study shows that the immune system works best when the body gets enough sleep. For the study,Watson and his team studied 11 pairs of twins. This is an important difference from other sleep studies. Other research did not study twins. Researchers found that the twin who slept less had a weaker immune system. Watson says his study showed for the first time that a long-term lack(缺乏) of sleep shuts down parts of the immune system. He says parts that move white blood cells around the body are influenced. White blood cells fight infections in the body. Watson’s study provides more evidence(证据) that sleep is important to“overall health”. And sleep is especially important to immune health. The researchers published their findings in the magazine Sleep. How much sleep is enough? To stay in good health,experts at the Mayo Clinic say that adults should get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours. And school-aged children may need more than 10 hours of sleep a night. Experts say our sleep becomes poor in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s,the average person has lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep. These people also have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on,they say these problems only get worse,and they can influence our health.

A billion people worldwide now weigh too much and the number of obese people is now more than 300 million. “Obese” means at least 15 kilos heavier than you should be. However, there are also 800 million people in the world who don’t have enough to eat. Professor Popkin said that the number of hungry people is falling slowly but the number of overweight people is rising fast. The main reasons for this are: ● people are doing less hard physical work ● more people worldwide now eat too much fatty food ● too many people are driving cars instead of walking ● people spend too much time in front of a television The United States has the highest rate of obesity in the developed world and Japan has the lowest. Professor Benjamin Senauer is absolutely certain of the reasons for this. “Japanese people are fit. They use public transport and walk,” he said. “The average American drives to work and drives to supermarket. When he gets home, he sits on a couch in front of the TV and eats junk food.” In Britain and many other European countries, there are three times as many obese people as there were 20 years ago. About two thirds of British adults are overweight or obese. “The effects of this are clear,” said London doctor Elena Power. “We have more illnesses related to weight and fewer fit people. China used to be one of the slimmest nations in the world. However, Professor Wu Yangfeng from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing recently estimated (估计)that 20 percent of the world’s overweight people live in China. The Chinese government is especially worried about the increase in obesity among schoolchildren. “We have a serious problem,” said Professor Wu. “It requires an improvement from everyone, or it will get worse. 1. How many people weigh too much in the world now? A. A billion. B. 20 billion. C. 300 million. D. 800 million. 2. Professor Popkin probably agrees that_______. A. walking to work helps people keep fit B. watching TV makes people put on weight C. eating food without fat helps people keep fit D. working in offices makes people put on weight 3.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team. However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo. Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules. 1. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”? A. To cross a road slowly. B. To follow the basic traffic rules. C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green. D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights. 2. What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University. C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper. 3. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience? A. About five minutes. B. Less than one minute. C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes. 4. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo? A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules. B. Because there are too many people on the road. C. Because the red light lasts too long. D. Because people have less patience. 5. The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of jaywalking. A. punish the jaywalkers B. reduce (减少) the time of red lights C. ignore the traffic rules D. call on people to obey the traffic rules 32、Without proper planning, tourism(旅游业) can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. 1. What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists? A. Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty. B. Local people lose jobs. C. A lot of hotels are built. D. Too many tourists cause traffic problems. 2. What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism? A. Make plans properly. B. Help the country’s economy. C. Build fewer hotels. D. Advance the well-being of local people. 3. If tourism grows too quickly, ___________. A. businesses will lose money B. other parts of the country’s economy will make more money C. local people will be happier D. more local people will work for tourists. 4. If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________. A. whether people need to build more hotels B. whether people need to plan tourism properly C. how to deal with the problems above D. how to prevent tourism growing too quickly 33、Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He’s a world well-known on space and time. Stephen is researching some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end? Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong---- he didn’t die. He can’t walk now but he uses a wheelchair(轮椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲学). Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1891, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.
