Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around the edge（边缘）of this huge dry part are large sheep and cattle farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. One of the nearest neighbours are many hundred miles away.
The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else‘s talk and then give an answer. When these radios first came into use，the government set up a special two－way radio programme. Then, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was sick，and the doctor could let them know how to care for the sick person.
Since the large farms were so far away from the towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were set up for them in some areas. At a certain time each day, the boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. ―Round robin（知更鸟）‖talks by radio were started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was going away or who was sick or who was getting married. The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the market would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.

Everything has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.
But, there‘s another side. SARS is a reminder (提示) of how weak life can be. Su ddenly, it‘s not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.
Wang Xingying, a Senior 3 students in Taiyuan, came into contact with a suspected SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. ―Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I‘m going to treasure every single day,‖ he said.
SARS teaches people to be grateful, not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected（感染的）patients. As a result, more than 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers.
Xu Bing, a Senior 2 student of Beijing No.5 Middle School wants to be a doctor when he grows up. ―Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated（献身的）to serving people‘s lives. I‘m deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes,‖ he said.
SARS also teaches sympathy. The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9/11.
And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to cope in this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people will have learned great lessons.
1.The story of Wang Xinying is given in this passage mainly to _____.
A. tell us the hardship of life
B. tell us the weakness of life
C. tell the cruelty of SARS
D. tell us the job of life
2.The main points discussed in the passage is _____.
A. SARS is a deadly disease
B. SARS teaches us a lot
C. Chinese people are going all out to fight the disease
D. doctors are dedicated to saving people‘s lives
3.Among the infected patients by SARS, which of the following is most?
A. Students
B. Doctors and nurses
C. Workers
D. Officials
4.The writer tells us of the brighter side for SARS in _____ ways.
A. two
B. three
C. five
D. four
5.According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Before SARS, few young and healthy people are thinking about death
B. There is, now, nothing worse than SARS in the world.
C. It can be concluded that SARS is only dangerous to medical workers.
D. Doctors and nurses have known how to deal with this kind of disease and they are sure of curing
all the patients.

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk (冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
―Storm chasing (追逐)‖ is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can
throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. ―Storm chasing is 95% driving,‖ says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. ―Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.‖However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. ―When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,‖ says Jasper Morley. ―Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.‖
1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .
A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C.wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A. not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer
3. By saying ―it is all worth it‖ in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
4. What can we learn from the text?

Our surroundings are being polluted faster than ever and it seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire(欲望) for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization"(工业化) our first aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the country-side into the cities, eager for the achievements of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot (飞行员) who told his passengers over the loudspeaker : "I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we‘re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don't know where we're going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our modern society.
1. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because _______.
A. the population of the world is increasing faster
B. people use too many man-made materials
C. we have more industry
D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses
2. According to the passage, what does man care most among the following?
A. Health.
B. Industry.
C. Clean air
D. The future of the children
3.The story about the pilot tells us that _______.
A. man knows where the society is going
B. people don't welcome the rapid development of modern society
C. man can do little about the problem of pollution
D. the speaker is worried about the future of our society
4. What dose the writer really want to say in the passage?
A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.
B. We should control the speed of the development to stop pollution.
C. It's time we did something to reduce pollution.
D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

近年来，中国北方的沙尘暴（sandstorm）越来越频繁。这给人们的生活带来很大的不便（trouble），强风刮起很多沙尘，使空气混浊，很多人因此不能外出。过去，人们养很多羊，羊吃了大量的草，使土地沙化；人们不注意保护森林，大量砍伐树木，造成水土流失。现在，政府开始注意到这一问题，每年都投入大量资金改善环境(environment)。保护好我们唯一的家园――地球吧。

Thomas Edison was more responsible than any one else for creating the modern world. No one did more to shape the physical character of our present day civilization. Accordingly, he was the most influential figure of the millennium.
Once he sai d, ―I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others. I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.‖
One day when the famous American scientist Edison was on his way home, a young man stopped him and required to have a word with him. Edison accepted his request.
The young man asked, ―How, Mr. Edison, can you invent so many things and achieve your fame?‖The scientist said, ―it seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day. ―
The young man nodded, ―Yes, I have been dreaming of being a person as notable as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become reputable. I don‘t know when I can achieve my fame.‖Edison told him, ―Don‘t worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!‖―Why should I?‖ the young man was puzzled. Edison said, ―What you dreamed is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building will never come into reality. However, your story can serve as a mirror. People will remember you
because of your idleness and laziness. They will often speak of your name while they give warning to their children. Aren‘t you a notorious person by then?‖ The young man felt very shameful.

A. how to invent new things
