1.【题文】I love roller coasters. If I could ride roller coasters every day for the rest of my life I would die a really 1 man. I will stand in line for 5 minutes just to get on a ride that lasts 30 seconds. Each step that I take brings me closer and closer to my 2 of going on a ride of a lifetime. The 3 has me skipping around like a 4 year old. But during my first ride there, that kind of thrill turned to absolute 4 when I made it to the front. 5 waiting in line I was now having a second thought. Quietly, I negotiated within myself about my courage to go through with this 6.
From far away it looked 7 but when I was about to get in the driver‘s seat I 8 I forgot my license. After some self motivation I finally made the move to 9 my seat.
On my way up I could clearly see the ups and downs 10 me. To me they were not only the route but also 11 challenges. Soon the track was full of such 12 tunnels that I could see only what was behind me but not in front.
13 there were people around me with both of their hands in the 14 while I，knowing that things were going to get 15 grasped the handle on my seat. I wouldn‘t dare celebrate something that 16 me.
Just like roller coasters, 17 is full of ups and downs, darkness and light, and is unpredictable when we go through various 18 situations. The best thing to do when we meet anything 19 is to lift our hands and 20 whatever we do.

2.【题文】Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of
purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的）gains than material purchases.
The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant (生气勃勃), but you're less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.
Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It‘s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.
Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy ―joyless‖ material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.
Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It‘s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.
It‘s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.
A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it's easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.
1. An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something __________.
A. you cannot think about
B. you can‘ t remember well
C. you cannot understand
D. you cannot see or touch
2. If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase, you may go to__________.
A. a theatre before going to a store
B. an exhibition before going to a park
C. a mall before going to a grocer's
D. a market before going to a restaurant
3. The example of earnings is given to actually indicate__________.
A. how ridiculous people are
B. how people feel content
C. how nearsighted people are
D. how people hold prejudice
4. It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, people might__________.
A. enjoy their ownership of what they have bought
B. pick every fault in the products they have got
C. regret making a wrong decision to buy the items
D. leave what they‘ve purchased untouched at home

3.【题文】In a unique research cooperation between Stratasys, Education, R&D departments and MIT‘s Self-Assembly Lab, a new process is being developed, known as 4D Printing.
The 4D printing concept, which allows mat erials to ―self-assemble (自行组装)‖ into 3D structures, was initially proposed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty member Skylar Tibbits. Tibbits and his team combined a strand (缕) of plastic with a layer made out of ―smart‖ material that could s elf-assemble in water. They advanced this concept by creating materials that can change into several different complicated shapes, though this kind of material remains the bottleneck of 4D technology.
To many people that are just starting to get used to the idea of 3D printers, the name 4D is causing confusion because they cannot understand where this fourth ―dimension‖ coming from. 4D technology shares many of the same principles of 3D printing and is essentially still about creating a new, 3D structure out of certain component; however, Tibbits states the fourth dimension at work here comes from concept of the fourth dimension of time. The difference between these 3D and 4D creations is that these new forms have the ability to transform and adapt over time.
4D printing works through self-assembly —a system where ―disordered elements form an ―ordered‖ structure via an interaction. With these 4D printed materials, these disordered materials are strands or sheets of specially designed materials. Environmental changes then stimulate (刺激）a response from them so that they form a preprogrammed shape.
The idea of having adaptable technology that only relies on energy and non-human interactions raises some interesting questions about where 4D printing can be used and the practical applications in dangerous environments. This could mean improved infrastructures in extreme conditions, leading to a reduced need for workers to put themselves at risk, but the potential goes even further than that. The technology promises exciting new possibilities for a variety of applications. A solar panel or similar product could be produced in a flat shape onto which functional devices can be easily installed. It could then be changed to a compact shape for packing and shipping. After arriving at its destination, the product could be stimulated to form a different shape that serves its function. Also it could be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings. As with many of the ideas being put forward, it is easy to go a step too far into the extreme, but this just shows the potential of 4D in comparison to 3D.
The next stage for the research is to move from printing single strands to sheets and eventually whole structures. And water need not be the process ‘ s only energy sour ce.
1. Which of the following displays the fourth dimension of 4D printing?
A. 4D printing creates a new, 3D structure out of certain component.
B. 4D technology reduces need for workers to put themselves at risk.
C. 4D technology can be used in many more fields than 3D printing.
D. 4D printed materials reshape themselves with conditions changing.
2. The major problem concerning the development of 4D printing lies in__________.
A. producing essential 4D printers
B. creating proper smart materials
C. providing a suitable environment
D. promoting practical applications
3. What does the passage lead you to believe?
A. 4D printing will take the place of 3D printing in the near future.
B. Most aspects of our daily life can be affected by 4D printing.
C. 4D printing will benefit humans by saving labor somehow.
D. Smart materials can be transformed into other types of material.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that__________.
A. electricity is not used in 4D technology
B. 4D printing has been applied in industry
C. more potential of 4D is to be discovered

4.【题文】Dear Textual Healing,
I would be very interested in your recommendations for any books to help me through a difficult time of my life. At 57, f am feeling a bit lost. I have a wonderful, loving husband and bright, caring teenage daughter but I am lonely and have lost my spark for life.
I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly. / have become unfocused and often alone while my husband is away frequently on business and my daughter busy with school and friends.
I am seeking the help of a therapist and taking care of myself but I would love to read something to help me
―get my groove (理想状况）back‖ and reengage with life.
PC Dear PC,
From the letter you‘ve given us about your life, it‘s no wonder you‘re feeling a little lost. But before prescribing titles to help you g et your groove back, I‘d recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnit‘s non-fiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat Barker to Thoreau and Keats.
The word lost is rooted in the Old Norse ―los‖，mean ing the disbanding of an army. ―This origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, ceasing fighting with the wide world. I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know,‖ Solnit writes. So instead of fearing that lost feeling, try seeing its potential for discovery. Explorers, remember, are always lost simply because they‘re forever someplace new.
“Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark,‖ Solnit advises. ―That‘s where the most impo rtant things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.‖
For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return, try a dose (―剂）of Anne Tyler, the beloved creator of numerous heroes whose serious conditions will move anyone who finds themselves in a midlife difficult situation. One such character is 53-year-old Rebecca Davitch, the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups. Like you, she‘s combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds he rself feeling lonely in her own home. Could it be, she wonders, that she‘s ―turned into the wrong person"? Don't be fooled by the way this novel ambles along — as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heart-rending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance.
Along similar lines, I'm also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick. On his way to post her a note，he decides instead to visit her— on foot, from his home in deepest Devon to England's northernmost town, more than 600 miles away. You don‘t manage that without focus! It‘s a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an
accidental media sensation (轰动). By the time he reaches his destination, you‘ll feel anything but tired. Finally, Ruth Ozeki‘s novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the mi ssing spark back into your life. Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middle-aged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, it‘s a beautiful illustration of how our lives touch — and are touched by — others in ways we mightn't even be aware of. This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism, and unless you happen to live in one of its settings, it provides a bracing change of scene, too.
One other suggestio n: books, as we all know, make great companions but that doesn't mean they can‘t be enjoyed in the company of others. If you find yourself home alone, why not slip one into your back pack and head out to a favourite café.

A. The lack of helpful books.
B. The blow of her father‘s death.
C. The contrast between her devotion to others and her being ignored.

A. PC should extend her knowledge by reading more
B. PC should stop struggling with anyone around her

5.【题文】Definitions of literature have vartied over time. In fact, it is a ―culturally relative definition‖.once in Western Europe, literature indicated all books and writing. During the Romantic period, it began to refer to ―imaginative‖literature. Nowadays literature is seen as a term used to describe written orspoken material ,including all the following. Poetry used rhythmic qualities of language to bring out meanings in addition to ,or in place of ,unimaginative surface meaning. Poetry has traditionally been distinguished from prose by its being set inverse; prose is cast in sentences, poetry in lines.
Novel is typically written in a narrative (叙事) style and presented as a book. Novels tell stories, in which the characters and events are usually imaginary. The novel has been a part of human culture for over a thousand years, although its origins are somewhat debated. Regardless of how it began, the novel has remained one of the most popular and treasured examples of human culture and writing. It remains an essential part of the literary cultures of nearly all societies around the world.
Novella is classified as ―Too short to be a novel，too long to be a short story‖. There is no precise definition in terms of word or page count. Literary prizes and publishing houses often have their own arbitrary limits, which vary according to their particular intentions.
A short story is different from novels or novellas in that the plot is usually tied to one single chain of events. Because the reader must identify with a character quickly to become engaged, the tale is often told from the chief character‘s point of view.
A drama refers to a play for the theatre，television or radio. It generally consists of chiefly dialogue between characters. It also uses dance to convey their message. Dramas usually aim at dramatic performance rather than at reading. In theater, a drama is presented by actors to an audience.
Good literary works depend on literary techniques. A literary technique can be used by authors in order to improve the written framework of a piece of literature, and produce specific effects. Literary techniques include a wide range of approaches to crafting a work. The ability to let readers know what might happen in the future in an indirect way is possible through the technique foreshadowing. The practice of representing objects and qualities as human beings in literature is personification. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas.

I was in no hurry to change that, but 3 I promised to be there the next day.
The whole drive down, 4 flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine (海军陆战队队员）. He snatched off the Christmas tree all the decorations the rest of us had put up and rehung them so there was 5 the same spacing between them. But we needn‘t
6 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother. I remembered
7 to hear my father say just once, ―I love you, Patty‖, only to have him 8 at me, ―You can‘t do anything right!‖
Standing outside his trailer, I tried to 9 my courage to face him one more time. Slowly, I took a few steps inside, my hand and my whole body shaking, too 10 to believe my eyes. Sitting on the sofa, my father looked confused and fr ustrated. This wasn‘t the angry and 11 man I had known growing up. This man was 12 and seemed broken.

―God, what am I supposed to do now?‖ I wo ndered. But as soon as the words 14 me, a sense of sorrow 15 me, and I knew that I had to take him to my home.
It was the 16 part I struggled with. The days of looking after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicte d feelings I‘d been 17 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible peace, as if every 18 had been lifted from me. 19 had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.

7.【题文】She almost did not run. Christine Williams admits that now. She could barely put one foot after another following the wake(守灵) for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C.W. Post record in Boston. Now she will run again, in the national Division II cross-country championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18.
Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sister‘s wake and her funeral. ―I kind of got upset beforehand.‖ Williams admitted. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the better. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Toscano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. ―She said my sister would have wanted me to run.‖ Christine said. And that was enough to get her started.
The accident happened just after midnight on Nov, 4. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown and Kaci Moran were treated at a hospital and released.
The crash made the papers. April Brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license.
The wake began on Nov. 6. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. Rich Degnan, the Post coach,"and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight-to Boston for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.
Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Christine could not go. Several times during the race, Christine felt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the Post record for the 6-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And although the Post team didn‘t qualify for the nationals, Christine did.
1.The efforts Christine‘s Post team made for her include the following EXCEPT ____________.
A. offering car service and flight tickets to Boston
B. arranging for a substitute for her beforehand
C. taking care of her food and uniforms
D. cheering for her during the race
2. We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A. Christine‘s two sisters were killed in the accident
B. Christine‘s athletic performance stood out in the race
C. Christine flew to Boston after her sister‘s funeral
D. Christine broke the Post record in national meet in Boston
3. What is the crucial factor contributing to Christine‘s success in the race?

8.【题文】The most complex object known to humanity is the human brain — and not only is it complex, but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of. To try to replicate (复制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride. But you have to start somewhere, and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, propose to start by replicating ―in silico‖, one of the brain‘s building blocks.
In a partnership announced, the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模拟) of a structure known as a neo-cortical（新大脑皮质的）column on a type of IBM supercomputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes. If that works, they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics（模仿) a brain.
In a real brain, a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical（圆柱形的）element about a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long. It is these columns, arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb, which m ake up the famous ―grey matter‖ that has become shorthand for human intelligence. The Blue Gene/L supercomputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.
The EPFL‘s contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave. The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw material for the simulation. Biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature. They will do so by assigning electrical properties（电能）to them, and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another depending on their activity.
That will be no mean feat. Even a single nerve cell is complicated, not least because each one has about 10,000 connections with others. And nerve cells come in great variety—relying, for example, on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections. Eventually, however, a digital representation of an entire column Should occur.
Assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow Moore‘s Law, the leader of IBM‘s side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years. Such an artificial brain would, of course, be a powerful research tool. It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a ―web lab‖ to be conducted in seconds. T he researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological, disorders develop. But that is probably not the real reason for doing it. The most interesting question, surely, is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent, or conscious, or both.
1. In a real brain, a neo-cortical column ____________.
A. looks like the cells of a honeycomb
B. is a simulation of a structure
C. is the famous ―grey matter‖
D. contains a large number of nerve cells
2. What does the underlined sentence ―That will be no mean feat‖ in Paragraph 5 indicate?
A. It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up.
B. The function of chemical transmitters is hard to understand.
C. A digital representation of an entire column is time-consuming.

A. to simulate an entire human brain in silico
B. to tell us how some certain disorders emerge
C. to discover how the artificial brain would work
D. to examine whether Moore‘s Law is still functioning
4. What type of writing is this passage?

9.【题文】In less than 60 years the people of my tribe have gone from being an independent nation, to cultural prisoners, to welfare recipients (享有者) . Is it any wonder that there are so many problems facing indigenous (土著的) Australians today?
When I was growing up in Kowanyama there were 15 people in my class, I am the only one who has gone to university. I‘m also the only girl in my class who did not have a child at 15. Of the boys in my class, seven have been incarcerated, two for murder, five for robbery and rape. Only three of us are not alcoholics. Four of my classmates have committed suicide.
Life as a young aborigine is not easy, in any setting. The story of my fellow students is a lesson in the magnitude of the problems that young indigenous people in Cape York face.
The two issues that are central to changing this story are education and health. There is a huge gap between what we get in communities and what other kids get in cities.
One of the problems facing education in remote indigenous schools is that teachers tend to be just
out of training and stay for only a year or two. Not one teacher stayed for the whole of my nine years at school—not even the principals. This seeming lack of commitment makes you feel they don‘t care.
We need to review the curriculum in these communities because it is pitched at a very low level. I have had to draw the conclusion that governments and educationalists see us as less than white people.
Education should be uplifting, not serve to reinforce lack of self-esteem and the heart-wrenching low expectations that our race suffer from.
We need a massive reassessment of,education policies and an equally massive investment in education. We have spent so long listening to some white fellows telling us we are stupid, lazy no-hopers that the majority of my people actually believe it.
The relationship between poor education and poor health is clear. People whose self-esteem and pride have been destroyed by a substandard education system and a social system that creates an addiction to passive welfare have little reason to live healthy lives. Our health is getting worse. The policies that determine the delivery of health services are deeply flawed by a bureaucracy (官僚作风) that does not want to hear our voices. Health services are often confined to the clinic.
It is problems and challenges such as these that led me to stand in last October‘s A TSIC election. ATSITC is more than the board of commissioners and the Canberra bureaucracy. ATSIC is also people who are from community and work hard for community.
We recognize that governments cannot solve our problems for us. As young people we are trying to take responsibility for our future. I ask the Prime Minister, not that he fixes these problems for us but that he and his Government see us as equal partners in the huge task of rebuilding our families, communities and Cape York Peninsula.
He demonstrated his commitment by engaging his Government at the family and domestic violence summit. My view is that the level of domestic violence and child abuse sums up all that has been wrong with Aboriginal policy.
.We need a new relationship to address this frightening reality in our lives. Aboriginal people are reluctant to admit that young girls and women are being raped by their own people because of the blanket of shame. *
I am asking you to help lift that blanket.
I stand here as a proud Aboriginal woman, a Kokoberra woman as well as a criminologist, and I thank you for your time and attention.
Tania Major, 22, is an A TSIC regional councilor and a trainee manager at her home community of Kowanyama on Cape York.
This is an edited version of an address she is scheduled to give at a meeting between the Prime Minister and Cape York leaders (full text at smh. com. an).
1. Which of the following words can best describe Tania‘s tone?
A. regretful
B. depressed
C. serious
D. Humorous
2. The underlined word ―incarcerated‖ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___.
A. criticized
B. killed
C. dismissed
D. imprisoned
3. We can infer from the passage that in Australia___.
A. few teachers are willing to work in indigenous schools because they are poorly paid
B. the curriculum in indigenous schools has to be easier otherwise the students will fail
C. the undereducated aborigines are considered to be lazy and dependent on welfare
D. a good education can help the aboriginal people to learn to set high expectations
4. Who. do you think are Tania‘s audience?
A. Aboriginal people.
B. Young boys and girls in Kowanyama.
C. Teachers and principals.
D. The prime minister and the Cape York leaders. .
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A TSIC doesn‘t serve the people because of its incompetence and bureaucracy.
B. The aboriginal people can learn to be responsible for their future if treated equally.
C. The government has adopted fresh policies related to the delivery of health services.
D. The biggest problems facing the aboriginal people are domestic violence and child abuse.

11.【题文】Global warming is when the earth heats up, the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide(二氧化氮), and methane(沼气) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth‘s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can‘t get back out. Once the light is inside the car, it is trapped and the heat builds up, just like it does in the earth‘s atmosphere. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can‘t get out. As a result, the temperature rises.
Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot. We would not get the sun‘s heat and light to make the night somewhat warm. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤) it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.
Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there gets to be too many gases, the earth can get unusually warmer, and many plants, animals, and people will die. They would die because there would be less food (plants like corn, wheat, and other vegetables and fruits). This would happen because the plants would not be able to take in the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, but it would also limit the food that animals have. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would die of hunger.
People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing people are doing is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. This minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car.
Another thing that people are doing is being more careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights. A lot of people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors. This helps our planet out a lot. Now, more people are even riding buses, walking to school, and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.
Planting trees and recycling also help. If you recycle, less rubbish goes to the dump, and less rubbish gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Although adults do many things to help stop global warming, kids can do just as much.
1. Through the example given in Paragraph 1, the author wants to ________ .
A. explain how global warming happens
B. shows his feeling in a car in hot summer
C. tell us cars are causes of greenhouse gases
D. say that there are greenhouse gases in every car
2. What is the effect of atmosphere?
A. It only traps the heat of the sun.
B. It works the same way as greenhouse gases
C. It makes the earth neither too hot nor too cold.
D. It prevents all the light from the sun shining on the earth.
3. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. If there is greenhouse effect, all plants will die.
B. Humans beings are likely to disappear from the earth.
C. Crops can‘t take in the heat if there is greenhouse effect.
D. Although greenhouse effect is necessary, too much of it will cause us to die.
4. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Why cars and buses pollute the air a lot.
B. What kids can do to help stop global warming.
C. What global warming is doing to the environment.
D. Who should be responsible for the environmental problems.

12.【题文】There are five keys to success in learning a foreign language.
Spend the time.
By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed(浸入) in the language.
1 This does not mean looking out the window, nor getting explanations in your own language. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.
Listen and read every day.
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. 2 Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.
3
Build up your vocabulary; you will need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually
you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.
Take responsibility for your own learning.
If you do not want to learn the language, you won‘t. 4 Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.[]
5
Do not worry about what you can not remember, or can not yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can not control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.
A. Relax and enjoy yourself.
B. Focus on words and phrases.
C. Read what you are listening to.
D. Chat with others in the language on the Internet.
E. If you do want to learn the language, take control.
F. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.
G. There are hundreds of easy conversations for you to practice speaking.

17.【题文】Butterflies are some of the most fascinating and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about 2 to 4 weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry enemies.
Butterflies have large compound eyes(复眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a sea of flowers than individual plants. Butterflies do not ―see‖ colors such as red, green, and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light（紫外线）, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to honey sources.
Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don't have one. Sense receptors are located in their antennae（触角）, feet, and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food, and mates.
Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.
Butterflies don't have ears. Instead they ―hear‖ sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations（振动）.
Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours, and therefore difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses.
1. What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?
A. Butterflies have good eyesight.
B. Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.
C. Butterflies are sensitive to bright colors including red and yellow.
D. Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light.
2. How do butterflies hear sounds?
A. Using their feet to sense the vibration of things
B. Using their ears to listen directly
C. Using their wings to sense the sound vibrations
D. Using their antennae to judge the sound
3. Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?
A. To find high-qualified honey.
B. To have a good place for living.
C. To make it easier for them to hide from the enemies.
D. To find a proper place for their eggs.
4. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. There‘s a long way to understand butterflies well
B. Butterflies give great help to human beings
C. Butterflies are the most beautiful insects in the world
D. Butterflies possess more senses than humans
5. The text mainly focuses on ________.
A. butterflies' living habits
B. butterflies' beauty

M3U3 Have you ever read Mark Twain?s The Million Pound Bank Note? It is one of his most famous works. The following passage is about it. This story happened in the summer of 1903. An American 1 Henry Adams, lost his way because of a strong wind in the sea. He?d just about giving 2 up for lost, when he was spotted by a ship by chance, 3 brought him to England. 4 no money on him, he had to work on this ship without payment to earn his passage. When he 5 (wander) on the pavement in London, cold and hungry, someone asked him to enter a big house, It was Roderick, who was very 6 He and his brother made a bet on 7 a man could survive a month in London with a million pound bank note. Roderick doubted it, while his brother, Oliver, thought it would work. After asking Henry some questions about him, they thought he was the suitable person, so they gave him a letter 8 (contain) the million pound bank note. 9 they asked him not to open it until 2 o?clock. Henry Adams felt at 10 loss about all this. He didn?t know what would happen to him. M3U4 Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They 1 (multiply) and filled the oceans with oxygen, which encouraged the later 2 of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects. 3 , called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally 4 laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs and still remains 5 mystery. This appearance made 6 the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them. Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. 7 they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking after the earth well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, 8 prevents heat from 9 (escape) from the earth into space.

The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me. They were also the best and worse years in my life. At the first, I thought I knew everything but could make decisions by myself. Besides, my parents didn’t seem to think so. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time, I even felt my parents couldn’t understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them. I showed them I was independent by wear strange clothes. Now I am leaving home for college. At last, I will be on their own, but I still want to have my parents to turn whenever I need help. I was reading an article in a book while I came across a word I didn’t know. “Dad, what is the meaning of the word?”My dad, as he usual did after work, was watching his most favorite show. “You have the dictionary, don’t you?”he shot back. He didn’t even look up my face. I went back my room, and there on my study table is that dictionary. I looked it up and found it’s exact meaning. Ten year have passed and I still use that dictionary, along with the lesson I received earlier in life from my old man: to be independent.
