We don't ask simple questions. We just talk, and we talk, and we talk. We forget why we're there. (We are there to acquire inf ormation.) When we're talking, we're not acquiring anything.”Effective interviewing is a pillar of good reporting and writing. The abilityto talk comfortably with people and to persuade them to give you information is oneof the reporter's most impotant skills. Yet journalists get little or no trainingin this vital aspect of their job. Most learn by painful trial and error.To help rectify（调整）that situation, this Best Newspaper Writing brown bag is devoted to interviewing skills. Listen to winners and finalists talk about successful interviewing techniques, practise some of these tips, and explore other resources.“Somebody once wrote that there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear your story,' and maybe they're right,” Albom said in Best Newspaper Writing 1996. “Because often you don't have to do any more than just say that.”During my reporting career, using a tape recorder taught me my most important lesson of interviewing: to shut up. It was a painful learning experience, having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement. There were far too many times I heard myself asking overly long and leading questions, instead of simply saying, “Why?” or “How did it happen?” or “What do you mean?” and then closing my mouth and letting people answer.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How to talk with peopleB. How to ask questionsC. The experience of a reporterD. Listening―the important skill of successful interviewing2. “… there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear yourstory,' …” implies .A. “I want to hear your story” sounds very pleasant to the earsB. as an interviewer it's important to offer chances to others to talkC. people are happy to tell you a story if you tell them “I want to hear your story”D. people are cheated to talk if they hear “I want to hear your story”3. In the last paragraph the underlined word “It” refers to “”.A. to shut up when others are talkingB. interviewing some important personsC. using a tape recorder in an interviewD. having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they weregetting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement4. According to the passage it's safe to say .A. only through special training can a reporter learn the skill of interviewingB. a reporter should keep his mouth closed and let people talk all the timeC. interviewing plays an important role in reporting and writingD. any reporter can get useful informati on when he (she) gives an interview to people（B）She is one of the China's fifty most successful business leaders and she has been described as being “bigger than Oprah”. Well known to one billion viewers, Yang Lan is among China's most popular TV personalities. Born in Beijing in 1968, Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular “Zheng Da TV show”. She was only 21 at the time and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 million at such a young age was a big challenge, but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.Many of us would probably have stayed on to enjoy the fame and money that come with being a TV star, but Yang Lan had more important plans. She left the show after four years and went to New York City to get a Master's degree at Columbia University. Her experience abroad inspired her and she made up her mind to create a new kind of TV station for Chinese viewers. When Yang Lan returned to China, she decided to develop her interests in business. Together with her husband, she started her own media company, Sun Media.When Yang Lan grew up, TV was a new thing at the time, but Yang Lan thought that the powerful medium could be used in a different way. She wanted to make new sh ows that were both entertaining and educational. When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called “Horizon”. The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers. Viewer s liked the first season of “Horizon”, but Yang Lan wanted to do something more serious and meaningful. The following year, she began in interviewing important people, such as Dr Henry Kissinger, and discussing social issues. Her viewers were pleased and the show became even more popular. She later devoted “Yang Lan One on One”, having interviewing more than 300 opinion leaders around the world.Note:Oprah－ Oprah Winfrey, the American TV personality.5. In the first paragraph, “bigger than Oprah” means .A. stronger and taller than OprahB. more successful and popular than OprahC. more powerful than OprahD. more important than Oprah6. In which order did the following things happen to Yang Lan?a. producing a feature show called “Horizon”b. becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 millionc. studying for a Master's degree at Columbia Universityd. starting her own media company, Sun Mediae. studying in Beijing Foreign Studies UniversityA. e, b, c, a, dB. b, e, d, c, aC. e, b, d, c, aD. b, e, c, d, a7.

Unit 4 Making the news单元检测Ⅰ.阅读理解AHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating (冬眠). It's too bad that humans can't hibernate. In fact, as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio's The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial (人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as "first sleep", which was not clarified, though. Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours' uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. The late night period was known as "The Watch". It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours.According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness aroundtheir sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon manyof his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn't help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night's continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren's theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.1. The example of the French peasants shows the fact that ___________.A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habitsC. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherD. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end2. The late night was called "The Watch" because it was a time for people __________.A. to set traps to catch animalsB. to wake up their family and neighboursC. to remind others of the timeD. to guard against possible dangers3. What does the author advise people to do?A. Sleep in the way animals do.B. Consult a doctor if they can't sleep.C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.4. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To give a prescription for insomnia.B. To urge people to sleep less.C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people.D. To throw new light on human sleep.BMike Miles hadn't had a stable job in years. He bounced around from one position to another, never sure when his last day would be. Sometimes, he lost a position with less than a day's notice. This wasn't due to a poor work ethic—from arriving early to staying late, Miles says he did everything he could to build a good relationshipwith employers. But because Miles had a criminal record, he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go.It wasn't until October 2015, nearly a decade after his release from prison, that a cousin told Miles about Lancaster Food Company, a local business that focuses on hiring people released from prison. Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future, Miles submitted an application. He got an interview, and he then began a new job.Miles' scenario is rare in Lancaster, where the poverty rate holds steady at 30%. This figure riled Charlie Crystle, Lancaster's co-founder and CEO. Crystle was raised in Lancaster but left in 1986 to purse a college degree and later, a career in technology. He co-founded four tech companies, one of which sold for millions of dollars back in 2000.Crystle is skeptical that many of Lancaster's low-income residents can get started the way he did. He believes food production is a key way to meet former offenders who may lack a college degree. Lancaster produces products like bread. Nowadays the company is rapidly expanding; however, at just 16 full-time employees, including administration and owners, it doesn't lower the city's poverty rate.Crystle says he wants to inspire other companies to rethink their current practices and start conversations around minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone, including ex-offenders. Dan Jurman, who chairs the city's Commission to Combat Poverty, believes that Crystle's business is a great way to make this happen. "None of us can handle these issues alone, " he said.5. The purpose of the first paragraph is to show __________ .A. a man's difficulty in living a stable lifeB. an increasingly competitive workplaceC. a decrease in employment opportunitiesD. the reason why Lancaster Food Company was founded6. What does the underlined word "riled" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Annoyed.B. Discouraged.C. Amused.D. Embarrassed.7. What words can best describe Charlie Crystle according to the text?A. Outgoing, kind and considerate.B. Wealthy but a little bit greedy.C. Humorous, diligent and ambitious.D. Successful and socially responsible.8.

ALots of students know what a marathon(马拉松赛跑) is, but perha ps they don’t know what triathlon is. The triathlon is a sport that has three parts — swimming, bicycling and running. It is not an easy sport, but a man named Joe Salter is very good at it. A few months ago, he finished a special triathlon—he juggled(抛起接住) three balls all the time during the triathlon. That is to say, he kept on throwing and catching three balls while he was swimming, riding a bicycle and running.31-year-old Joe is from Florida, the USA. He loves juggling and he started at the age of 8. Joe did well in juggling. Later, he got the idea to do a triathlon and juggle at the same time to make it more fun. Many juggling fans laughed at his idea and thought it was just a joke. But Joe didn’t give up and he kept practicing it. Because of his hard work, he made it at last.Talking about his triathlon, Joe said swimming was the hardest part. “It was difficult and complex,” he said. “I basically only used my legs, so it took quite a lot of work. Also, swimming in open water made it a little harder. It was not like in a pool. ”1. According to the writer, the common triathlon ______.A. is a difficult sportB. is more famous than the marathonC. includes the three parts and jugglingD. includes the marathon and swimming2. Joe’s triathlon was spe cial because ______ during the triathlon.A. he picked up three ballsB. he played jugglingC. he carried his bicycle on his shoulderD. he threw away all his balls3. Many juggling fans thought Joe’s idea ______.A. could not be realizedB. should not be laughed atC. should be realized as soon as possibleD. could make triathlon more exciting4. The underlined part “made it” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “______”.A. forgotB. failedC. succeededD. leftB“BANG!” the do or caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise ap artment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.. I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?” In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.5.Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. I ran out into the street angrily.c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.d. I recalled my happy childhood.e. I began to walk about in the street without any aim.A. e,b, d, c, aB. b, e,d,c,aC. b, e, c, d, aD. e, b, c, a, d6.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting.C. The author and his father lacked communication.D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.7. According to the author, why did his father often shout at him?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the son had already grown up.C. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.D. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.8. What did the author mean by the underlined sentence “My heart was frozen on this hot summer night”?A. He felt lonely because there were so few people on the street.B. He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night.C. He was completely disappointed with his father.D. He was at a loss because he had nowhere to go.CFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships travelling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light ye ars of Earth. In addition, they scan the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at a time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like Earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our Galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our Galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our Galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that case, some scientists think that it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals, perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.9.The first two paragraphs in the text are mainly about ________ scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets.A. whenB. whyC. whereD. how10.According to the text, how many planets in our Galaxy might be inhabitable?A. 5 billion.B. 10 billion.C. 15 billion.D. 200 billion.11.Why do some scientists think there might be more advanced civilizations on other planets?A. They are good at observing everything in the sky.B. Some planets in our Galaxy are much younger than Earth.C. They have been to some of the other planets in our Galaxy.D. Some planets in our Galaxy are much older than Earth.12.It can be learned from the text that ________.A. the sun is one of the oldest planets in our GalaxyB. some scientists think that we should continue the searchC. scientists don't believe that there might be life on other planetsD. most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planetsDIf you're ever apart from your children, a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug.If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact .In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges — a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the "love" hormone, which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems, some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn't see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well they'd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls' hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety — but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if you're feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.13. If a girl is under stress, .A. she can't solve math problemsB. she will have high levels of hormoneC. oxytocin will remain at a high levelD. cortisol will go up with oxytocin down14. From the passage, we can infer that .A. it is easy for girls to solve math problemsB. the girls who had watched the movie remained anxiousC. mothers should hug their kids as often as possibleD. older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones15. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Mother's voice can comfort her anxious kids.B. Mothers should often hug their kids.C. Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.D. Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 19 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 20 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 21 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 22 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.Mrs. Neidl's 23 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 24 !”I began to take 25 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing—only things to be 26 upon.I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 27 create something.The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year.

In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He said he has a great assignment （分工）, and you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, where it can be played, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down andinside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists—everyone—is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.36. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.37. What does the reporter want most from hiseditors in their talks?A. Finding the new value of his stories.B. Giving him financial support.C. Helping him to find issues.D. Improving his good ideas.38. Who probably wrote the letter?A. An editor.B. An artist.C. A reporter.D. A reader.39. The letter aims to remind editors that they should__________.A. keep their best reporters at all costsB. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters' professionaldevelopmentD. appreciate their reporters' working styles andattitudesBBrave Frenchman Found Half-way Around theWorld（NEW YORK）A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Scaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dive in after him.“I didn’t think at all,”Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier（码头）when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his tale of heroism, and had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,”said Duret.“Anyone would do the same thing.”40.

The day when he rescued the girl.B. A couple of days after the girl was rescued.C. The first day when he was in New York.D. The same day when he was interviewed.CWho says Americans worship the almighty dollar？It's not true. Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new poll.Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone poll ranked beingwealthy as most important to them, while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority, higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. "Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old," said Richard Morin, of the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project, which conducted the survey. "So our desire to play unites us. "The poll also showed that people who were university educated valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. Not surprisingly, those who didn't have money, ranked wealth very highly. This included minorities, first generation Americans and less educated people. The survey also revealed that a disproportionate（不成比例的）number of people under the age of 30 and retirees in the group made ＄20,000 or less a year. But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors. "It just diminishes with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich," Morin said. "But also, the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life. "While wealth was not at the top of people's list of priorities, 43 percent still said it was somewhat important.44. The poll showed that the majority of Americanpeople ranked ________ as the most important.A. wealthB. a successful careerC. marriageD. free time45. Who cares least for wealth, according to thepassage?A. Young people.B. Middle-aged people.C. Old people.D. Well-educated people.46. According to the poll, middle-aged peopleregarded ______ as more important.A. success in careerB. education levelC. wealthD. comfort47. The underlined word "diminishes" in the thirdparagraph probably means __________.A. increasesB. decreasesC. changesD. staysDResearchers, policy makers and activists are busy preparing for the International AIDS Conference. The next conference begins Sunday in Vienna, Austria. On Tuesday, the Obama administration announced its National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The plan aims to reduce new HIV infections by twenty-five percent within five years. It also aims to make sure infected patients get treatment more quickly.HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. The government says sixty-five percent of Americans who discover they are infected get treatment within three months. The new plan calls for increasing that to eighty-five percent. Thirty million dollars from the health care reform law is to go to support prevention activities, including expanded HIV testing.Over one million Americans are living with the virus, out of an estimated thirty-three million people worldwide.Last week, government scientists in the United States announced the discovery of two antibodies （抗体）that raise hopes for an AIDS vaccine（疫苗）. They say these antibodies can stop more than ninety percent of all known strains of HIV. Antibodies are proteins that the body makes to help protect itself against infection. Researchers made the discovery at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The director of its Vaccine Research Center, Gary Nabel, says each antibody blocks the virus from attaching to white blood cells.The UN AIDS agency gives credit to proper measures. It says young people in Africa are waiting longer to have sex. They are also having fewer sexual partners. And they are increasingly using condoms（安全套）. The agency says with the methods HIV rates are falling in sixteen of the twenty-five hardest-hit countries in Africa.48. All of the following about the Obamaadministration’s National HIV Strategy is true EXCEPT __________.A. It aims to cut down the number of newinfections on a large scaleB. It aims to put 65% of infected Americans intothe quick treatment systemC. It ensures the quick treatment of the Americanswho get infectedD. It supports prevention activities, includingexpanded HIV testing49.

The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of thecity. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact,they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole Unite States.The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, andit takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.A blacksmith's job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a pieceof metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. The blacksmith must bend over all thetime when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse's leg whilehe works. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses--for beforethe blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing becausehis father did it, and, as he puts it, "It's a good way to make a living."9. According to the reading passage, a blacksmith must be likely a_________ man.A. cleverB. richC. strongD. tall10. James Corbin became a blacksmith because he_________.A. was interested in horsesB. was needed by the policemenC. drew a picture of the horsesD. had to make a living11. In the reading passage "to shape a shoe" is to________.A. fit it on the horse's footB. use it for two or three hoursC. make the form of a horseshoe form a piece of metalD. draw a picture of the shoe12. The best title for the passage is_________.A. Policemen on HorsebackB. Blacksmiths and HorseshoeingC. James Corbin, a BlacksmithD. Horseshoeing Is a Good Way to Make a LivingDFor most of us, body weight goes up with age---an average of one pound a year after 25, according to the American Medical Association. What's more, added weight is likely to be composed primarily of fat, not muscle. The reasons are as follows.1) As we age, most of us become less active, and the body's basal metabolism (基础代谢) rate slows a little each year. So our food-energy requirements--the number of calories needed to maintain weight-decrease. For example, a man might require 2 500 calories a day at age 20, 2 000 at 35 and only 1 800 at 15.2) Starting in our 20s, the proportion of muscle mass to body fat tends to decline. The body of an average 20-year-old woman is 26.5 percent fat. By 35, it is 33 percent, at 50, 42 percent.3) As we grow older, we shrink-not from side to side, unfortunately, but from top to bottom. In our mid30s, we begin to lose more bone than we make. One result: less height to hang our weight on, which makes us look thicker than we once did.4) Exercising becomes harder with age. Our muscles can begin to lose strength and elasticity (弹性) as early as age 20. By 40, heart and lung power has begun to drop, and the body becomes more likely to be injured.13. What is the passage about?A. The mason why old people usually weigh more than they once did.B. The reason why added weight is likely to be composed primarily of fat, not muscle.C. The reason why we become less active when we age.D. The reason why our body weight goes up one pound a year after 25.14. What does the writer mean by "As we grow older, we shrink"?A. As we grow older, we become shorter.B. As we grow older, we become thinner.C .As we grow older, we become more depressed.D. As we grow older, we become more active.15. Why does exercising become harder with age?A. Our muscles are older and weaker.B. The possibility of injury increases.C. Heart and lung don't work as well as before.D. All of the above.16. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The body weight increases as one grows older.B. The basal metabolism rate of an active person is always very high.C. The food-energy requirement for one certain person is fixedD. We need less calories to maintain our weight as we grow older.EOne of the interesting things about Cuba is its educational system. As in many other countries, schools are free. What is unusual is that schools combine study with manual work. Each school has a plot (--:ffl~:) of land where the children work for each day. They plant vegetables, which they weed and water, and later they harvest the crops. In this way, they develop good working habits and learn how important it is to produce. Usually, children do not like vegetables such as spinach (菠菜), green beans, or cabbage. But by growing vegetables themselves, Cuban children soon develop a taste for them. During the summer, older children also go to the country to help the farmers with the crops.In this system, the children spend part of their school time studying and the rest working in the open air helping increase the nation's production.17. How is Cuba's educational system different from that of other countries?A. Schools are free.B. Schools force childen to work.C. Manual work is emphasized.D. Schools produce a lot of crops.18. How do Cuban children spend their school time?A. Fewer hours for classroom study than for manual work.B. Part of the classroom study and the rest for manual work.C. Half of the time studying and the other half working on the land.D. Most of the time studying and the rest playing in the open air.19. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. The nation's production is increased.B. Children go to the country to help the farmers with the crops once a year.C. Children enjoy working in the open air.D. Children grow less interested in study.20. What does the word "taste" mean here?A. A kind of senseB. LikingC. Ability to enjoy beautyD.

One night, Maceo left his home to find a store where she could buy a back staff cane (拐杖). He weighed over 300 pounds. His doctor, concerned about his health, had suggested Maceo try yoga (瑜伽). But Maceo could barely walk, needing to use a cane to get around. Z@#xxkHe entered what he thought was the right store---only to find black belts instead. He’d walked into the hall of the Rocky Mountain Karate Association. Hale Hilsabeck, owner and director of the studio, greeted him. Maceo told Hale he’d always wanted to learn karate (空手道), but was discouraged because of his weight. Hale told him to come back the next day to begin learning karate and boxing---free of charge.Maceo began training two to three times, a week. Hale was amazed by his determination. “I was enthusiastic because he kept on showing up.” he said, “I thought he mi ght disappear after the first couple or three times that he was there. But, no.”Now, over five years later, Maceo weighs 60 pounds less and no longer walks with a staff. He can dance and deliver powerful boxes. I called maceo to find out more. This all happened for a reason, he told me. Most of all, his faith was renewed, both in himself and in a higher power. Maceo’s story inspired me. Next time I ended up in a “wrong place”. Maybe I will stay there a minute longer---to see if that unexpected opportunity shows up.4. What’s Maceo’s problem?A. He didn’t buy a cane.B. He is too fat.C. He can’t walk at all.D. He doesn’t like yoga.5. Why hadn’t Maceo learnt karate before he met Hale?A. Because she hadn’t been interested in it.B. Because his doctor told him not to do it.C. Because it was very expensive.D. Because he hadn’t dared to try it.6. After Maceo began learning karate and boxing, .A. he give up three timesB. he didn’t exercise oftenC. he gained much benefits fr om themD. Hale wasn’t satisfied with him firstCAfter years of debate, gray wolves were reintroduced (重新引进) to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and moved to the park. By 2021, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and other pans of United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into (he deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources(来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals ate large amounts of plants, which reduced plant diversity(多样性) in the park. With the disappearance of gray wolves,coyote (草原狼) populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a great number of red foxes in the park, and completely drove away the park’s beavers (河狸).As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many framers were against the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years thinking lip a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.
