You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Don’t let other people s et goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give itwings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery , and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.1．The balls of friends, family, health, and spirit are made of ____A______.A. glassB. silkC. cottonD. rubber2．The passage tells us not to _____D____ because everyone is special.A. be afraid of difficultiesB. be afraid to learnC. run through life so fastD. compare yourself with others to look down on your worth 3．The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.”means that _____B_____.A.

Nothing is impossible.B. Glass balls are easy to be broken.C. Things you can’t do.D. Treat your life in a right way.Passage 2You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indicate a person’s blood type, which, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid). until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.1A good title for this passage is ＿C＿.A.Getting Blood and PlasmaB.Special Blood TypesC.Human Blood TypesD.The Blood Bank of a Hospital2The word ―hence‖ in line 9 means ＿D＿.A. alwaysB. thereforeC. seldomD. often3.

The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time ＿A＿.A. to select a new type of blood for the patientB. to test the reactions to the transfusionC. for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient’s bloodD. for the blood to be delivered from the blood bank5. Most Europeans have blood type ＿A＿.A. AB. BC. OD. A or OPassage 3Scientists are trying to make the deserts(沙漠) into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become desert in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt(泥土) away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land away. When the wind comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away.Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.1. A desert is probably _____B___.A. grassyB. treelessC. wetD. muddy2. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _____D_____.A. rainB. windC. peopleD. plants3. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important todry places? CA. They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B. They do not let wind blow the earth away.C. They add color to the dry places.D. They hold water.4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____A____.A. it is bad to plant in rows in a dry placeB. It is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farmC. It is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals thereD. all lands that don’t get very much rain are deserts5. What’s the purpose of the writer to give an example of the man? CA. to criticize himB. to tell an interesting storyC. to prove man makes desertsD. to prove the hot sun makes a desertPassage 4Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion (输血) from her five—year—old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies (抗体) to fight the illness.The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate (犹豫) for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, ―Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa.As the transfusion was gong on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister’s face. His smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, ―Will I start to die now?‖He was too young to understand the doctor. He thought he would have to give all his blood to his sister, but he agreed.1. What happened to the little girl named Lisa? BA. She died of a very serious disease.B. She got better with the antibodies from her brother.C. She lost her little brother.2. The doctor waited the little boy to ______B_______.A. give all his blood to his sisterB. give his life to his sisterC. give some of his blood to his sisterD. get the same disease as his sister3.

The writer still remembers the story many years later ______D_____.A. because the little girl had a very strange diseaseB. because the sister and brother had the same diseaseC. because the doctor saved the little girl’s lifeD. because of what the boy did for his sisterPassage 5As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, ―a homeless dog‖, ―a mad dog‖, ―a running dog‖ and ―a dog catching a mouse‖, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, ―you are a lucky dog‖ means you are a lucky person. And ―every dog has its day‖ means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say ―sick as a dog‖. The word ―dog-tired‖means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, ―cat‖ is often used to describe a woman who is cruel. There are many other examples of how ―cat‖ is used differently as well.The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace , courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.1. The word ―dog‖ in Chinese usually __C_____.A. shows peaceB. stands for friendshipC. has a negative meaningD. has a positive meaning2. ―Every dog has its day.‖ means ―_D______‖.A. Everybody in the world is lucky.B. Each person lives his own way of life.C. If one works hard, he’s sure to succeed.D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.3. Western people usually use ―cat‖ to refer to（指代）―___D____‖.A. a tired personB. a brave manC. a homeless personD. an unkind woman4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? AA. Words show differences in culture.B. Chinese people prefer dogs to cats.C. Western people think cats to be good friends.D. Rose is the national flower of all western countries.5. What’s the best title for the passage? BA. Negative or positive.B. Different countries have different kinds of culture.C. Rose means the same in Chinese and English.D. What dog and cat mean in Chinese and English.Passage 6Some people seem to have a knack (诀窍) for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes languages so much easier for them to learn? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques that make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, they do not wait for a chance to use the language. Instead they look for such a chance. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear and to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn it.1.The best learners of languages ＿＿.A.have the best language learning techniquesB.are the most intelligent students in the classC.are the best at mastering rules of grammarD.are the best at memorizing long vocabulary lists2.People who learn languages easily seem to have a ＿＿for learning them.A. will powerB. knackC. skillD. desire3. According to the passage, the key factor in language learning is probably ＿＿.A. the learnerB. the teacherC. the textbookD. the classmates4. Successful language learners are＿＿, ＿＿learners with a purpose.A. diligent, energeticB. diligent, activeC. dependent, passiveD. independent, active5. Successful language learners learn the language by ＿＿.A. following a strict study schedule every dayB. relying on teachers and classmatesC. learning the meaning of every word they hearD. trying to communicate and learning from mistakesPassage 7In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where manyhousehold tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the ―battle of the sexes‖.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important - and that has happened in some cases – we are as badly of as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of ―monism‖ (母亲崇拜), - but we don’t want to exchange it for a ―neo-popism (新父亲崇拜).‖ What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit (信任) –not all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is the home. We are beginning, however, to analyz e men’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is connected not only with a healthy democracy, but also with a healthy family.21. From the passage we know that the author is very concerned with the role that____________.A) parents play in bringing up their childrenB) men play in a familyC) women play in a familyD) equality plays in a family22. The author means to tell us that_________________.A) a man’s place is in the homeB) a woman’s place is in the homeC) a woman should be equal to a manD) a man should have an equal share in family matters23. According to the author, a healthy family should be based on___________.A) cooperationB) authoritarianismC) monismD) neo-popism24. Who will benefit most from a family pattern of sharing in tasks and decisions?A) The children.B) The womanC) The man.D) The psychologist.25. We may safely conclude from the passage that______________.A) male superiority maintains a healthy familyB) authority and democracy are very essential to a healthy familyC) authoritarianism does no good to a healthy family。
