AOnce upon a time a man became a great archer(射手).He asked the king to announce him as the greatest archer of the country. The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sir.

Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years.”The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the old man and he was!

The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him. He shot an arrow. The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it.

The following are top tips of the experts on improving your time abroad.Set specific goals.“Set goals for yourself when going abroad so that you can bring experiences back home withyou,” says Harrison, the Outreach Manager of GoAbroad. “Whether you want to learn to cook a traditional recipe from your host family or pack for the long-term, these lessons of daily life can translate back home. How youchoose to learn from your experiences, or even apply them as transferable job skills, will make all the difference.”________________“Make at least one local friend,” says Matthew, cofounder of Students Gone Global. “ Join a club, community service group, or a sports league--- it will help you form a network and find people you click with. Go out of your way to talk to students in your classes.”Sign up for classes that allow you to explore.“ Take classes that are interesting and related to the local culture.” says Matthew. “ I highly recommend classes with field trips because your professor can show you a side of the country you never would have seen on your own.”If you’re staying with a host family, do get to know them.“ When living with a host family, be mindful of their lifestyle and try your best to adapt to it,” says Lauren, a member of GoAbroad’s Content & Outreach Team. “ Have a conversation about rules and customs right away to be sure you know what your host family expects of you.

Certain areas, such as California and Japan, are more prone to earthquakes than others. Although the chance of being caught in “ The Big One” is remote, it’s wise to be prepared if you live in a region where earthquakes are common.Educate your family about earthquakes before a big one strikes. For example, they need to know to take shelter in a doorway or under a strong object if indoors, and never to run outdoors if they are inside. If outside, they need to know to stay away from power lines and buildings where objects could fall.Teach family members how to turn off gas or water lines or electrical power that may need to be shut off after a quake if severe damage occurs.Develop a plan. Where will your family meet in the event of a disaster? What if some people are at work or school? How will you know if they are safe? Where will you all meet up?Pack a preparedness（衣物装备）and keep it in a safe location. In a major earthquake, it’s possible that you won’t be able to get into your house. Keep supplies in your car trunk or an outside storage shed if possible. Pack whatever your family is likely to need, enough for three days to a week, including food, water, medication, first aid and personal hygiene supplies, flashlights, a portable radio, blankets, clothes and shoes, cash, or camp stove, candles, matches or lighters, and a whistle.Consider earthquake insurance for your home if you live in an earthquake-prone area. Regular home-owner’s insurance doesn’t cover earthquake damage.12.

AIf you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day."A hot cup of coffee," he told me.I bought him a cup of coffee, a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier."A new pair of socks, "he said.Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelledas good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted. Now I always have an extra pair with me in my car. They are always my best pair, just waiting to be given away.1. On seeing the homeless, the author used to_______.A. act as if they were not thereB. show mercy to themC. hide in the cornerD. make fun of them2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He was slow in learning things.B. His best friend was once a teacher.C. He was sad that his friend was dying.D. He didn't understand Jane's words at first.3. Why does the author always have an extra pair of socks in his car?A. To decorate his car.B. To sell it to others.C. To keep it for a change.D. To donate it to a needy person.4. What does the author want to convey to us?A. All men are born equal.B. Don't miss doing any good thing.C. A beggar's purse is bottomless.D. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.B''If you can see the magic in a fairytale童话）, you can face the future”-- Danielle SteelWho have not read fairytales? We all have had the experience of taking great delight in the beauty and innocence of fairytales．May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty．．．Fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever travelled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories?The history of the fairytale is particularly difficult to track．The oral tradition ofthe fairytale came long before the written page．The oldest known fairytales date back to ancient Egypt around 1300B.C.and now, after travelling through various periods of time, they have grown and matured in various aspects and have become the most popular forms of stories for young childrenThe characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar: Princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. The tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. W. H Auden said, “The way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.” It is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. So whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want.Every child believes in fairies（仙女), dragons, etc. Yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based characters．Fairytales are told to children when they are young.

Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entireafternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity（肥胖）.

AIf you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day."A hot cup of coffee," he told me.I bought him a cup of coffee, a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier."A new pair of socks, "he said.Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted. Now I always have an extra pair with me in my car. They are always my best pair, just waiting to be given away.1.

Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.B''If you can see the magic in a fairytale童话）, you can face the future”-- Danielle Steel Who have not read fairytales? We all have had the experience of taking great delight in the beauty and innocence of fairytales．May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty．．．Fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever travelled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories?The history of the fairytale is particularly difficult to track．The oral tradition of the fairytale came long before the written page．The oldest known fairytales date back to ancient Egypt around 1300B.C.and now, after travelling through various periods of time, they have grown and matured in various aspects and have become the most popular forms of stories for young childrenThe characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar Princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. The tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. W. H Auden said, “The way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.”It is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. So whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want.Every child believes in fairies（仙女), dragons, etc. Yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based characters．Fairytales are told to children when they are young. This is very essential indeed, for if in the beginning of our lives, our minds are touched by the beauty, innocence and the morals in these tales, we will be able to obtain the optimistic side of happenings．In life, sometimes, believing in such mystics can lead to great happiness．W ell, I don’t know about you, but I do believe in fairies…and who knows I may someday meet one because, after all, believing is jus t the beginning! And as J.M. Barries said, “When you say I don’t believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” And I wouldn’t want anyone dead on my account, would you?5．In Paragraph 1, the writer mentioned Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to __ A．tell the beauty and innocence of the fairytalesB．present us the fascinating facts behind themC．show us that fairytales are something we are familiar withD．describe his feeling towards fairytales6．The underlined word '"ecstasy" in Paragraph 3 probably means “___”A．delight B．innocenceC．mystery D．the optimistic side7．Why is it important to tell the fairytales to the children when young?A．Because they can gain great happiness．B．Because it is easier for the children to throw themselves in the roleC．Because they tend to have wild imaginationD．Because when they see the magic in the tales in the beginning, they can face the future 8．How do you understand the sentence in the last paragraph "When you say I don't believe in fairies, a fairy somewher e drops dead.” ?A．If you don’t believe in the tales, the fairy will be really sad．B．We need the beauty, innocence, and moral of the fairytales to stay optimistic．C．If nobody believes in us, we will be heartbroken．D．The writer is just trying to be humorous by saying this．CItalians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures."Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association.

AIn all the world’s cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts find that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children’s IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数).Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medical prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus. That’s why an old so ng can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music’s benefits, it’s no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education system. People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.1.Scientists are studying music because .A.music can be used for medical treatment.B.music plays a very important role in our livesC.our brain can process music in different waysD.music education has received a lot of attention2.According to the Canadian study, which children increased IQscores?A.Those who already had high IQ scores.B.Those who always played music.C.Those who could not play any instrument.D.Those who studied music for a period of time.3.Which of the following is a kind of disease?A. Spatial reasoning.B. Alzheimer’s.C. The amygdale and hippocampus.D. The medial prefrontal cortex.4.Which can be the best title for the text?A. Music and healthB. Music and the mindC. Music and the educationD. Music and instrumentsBIt was the last time Susan Butcher ran the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1992. An hour into the race, Susan and her sled dog team sped down a hill and crashed into a fallen tree. Although hurt, Susan continued the difficult race.The Iditarod Race started in 1925 when a doctor in Nome, Alaska was desperately in need of medicine to stop the spread of a deadly disease. Only a hospital had what he needed, but it was 700 mile-away! In January, it was too dangerous to send a boat and too stormy for his tiny airplane. The only hope was to use several sled dog teams following a trail, called the Iditarod Trail. They passed the medicine from one sled team to another. Wind and snow did not stop the men and their dogs. The medicine was delivered in record time. The race follows the route of the famous medicine run. Over 1,000 miles long, it is considered the toughest race in the world.Susan Butcher was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her teens Susan was given a Siberian husky dog and became very interested in huskies as sled dogs. After reading about the Iditarod Race, Susan moved to Alaska. She got several jobs to earn money to buy herself a sled and a team of huskies. After years of hard work and training, Susan achieved her dream of racing on the Iditarod Trail.In 1978, at the age of 24, Susan entered the race for the first time and became the first woman to finish in the top 20. In 1982 she came in second. In 1984 she was leading her team across a frozen waterway when they fell into the water. Her lead dog managed to pull Susan and the other dogs out of danger. Remarkably, she came in second.In her fourth race, in 1985,a starving moose(驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. Susan had to leave the race. In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987. In 1988 she became the first person ever to win three Iditarod races in a row. Unbelievably, Susan won for the fourth time in 1990.5.According to text, Susan Butcher entered the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race atleast times.A.sixB. sevenC. eightD. nine6.In Paragraph 2, the author wants to tell us .A.how the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race beganB.how the spread of a deadly disease was stoppedC.how tough the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race wasD.how Susan Butcher began to show interest in the race7.In the year , Susan Butcher won three races in a row.A．1984, 1985 and 1986 B. 1985, 1987 and 1988C. 1986, 1987 and 1988D. 1987, 1988 and 19908.What led to some of Susan Butcher’s failures?A.

Whether the remedy(疗法) comes from the warmth and comfort of the soup or from actual cold-fighting ingredients(成分) in the meal, it is still up for debate.Chicken Soup: Just the EvidenceScience has begun to support what mothers have understood for centuries. The heat, salt, and hydration provided by chicken soup may actually fight the cold virus. Laboratory studies have shown that ingredients of chicken soup with vegetables could kill viral cells and prevent the growth of new ones. The soup may also provide ananti-inflammatory(消炎的) effect that helps reduce cold symptoms. Unfortunately, the benefits of chicken soup appear to be limited by how quickly the soup leaves the body. There is no indication that chicken soup would help in the prevention of colds, but its use as a remedy for symptoms is common. It is largely a safe remedy with no ill side effects, and scientific evidence points more in favor of its cold-fighting properties(特性) than against it.The Downside of Chicken SoupEvidence in support of chicken soup’s antiviral pro perties is not yet solid enough to prove true, reliable medicinal effects. Although the evidence based on personal experiences and existing research seem to support a good effect of chicken soup, a clinical trial would be very difficult to perform. In addition, some people with food allergies(过敏性反应) or sensitivities to salt may experience ill side effects from chicken soup. Unbroken bones may also lead to a chocking risk, particularly for children. However, the potential benefits of chicken soup seem to far outweigh the possible risks.13.What does the underlined sentence suggest?A.Mothers have long been helped by scientists to find remedies for colds.B.Scientists have agreed for centuries with what mothers have understood.C.People have tried chicken soup to help reduce cold symptoms since longago.D.Mothers know better how to deal with cold symptoms than scientists.14.Which of the following is true about chicken soup?A.It is particularly good for children.B.It can prevent people from colds.C.It is an amazing comfort food for people with colds.D.It surely has medicinal effects on colds.15.What’s the author’s opinion on chicken soup?A.It is good for people with colds to have chicken soup.B.Scientists have found solid evidence about the benefits of chicken soup.C.Chicken soup can take the place of other medicines for colds.D.People still argue whether chicken soup has effects on cold symptoms.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Whether the remedy(疗法) comes from the warmth and comfort of the soup or from actual cold-fighting ingredients(成分) in the meal, it is still up for debate.Chicken Soup: Just the EvidenceScience has begun to support what mothers have understood for centuries. The heat, salt, and hydration provided by chicken soup may actually fight the cold virus. Laboratory studies have shown that ingredients of chicken soup with vegetables could kill viral cells and prevent the growth of new ones. The soup may also provide an anti-inflammatory(消炎的) effect that helps reduce cold symptoms. Unfortunately, the benefits of chicken soup appear to be limited by how quickly the soup leaves the body. There is no indication that chicken soup would help in the prevention of colds, but its use as a remedy for symptoms is common. It is largely a safe remedy with no ill side effects, and scientific evidence points more in favor of its cold-fighting properties(特性) than against it.The Downside of Chicken SoupEvidence in support of chicken soup’s antiviral pro perties is not yet solid enough to prove true, reliable medicinal effects. Although the evidence based on personal experiences and existing research seem to support a good effect of chicken soup, a clinical trial would be very difficult to perform. In addition, some people with food allergies(过敏性反应) or sensitivities to salt may experience ill side effects from chicken soup. Unbroken bones may also lead to a chocking risk, particularly for children. However, the potential benefits of chicken soup seem to far outweigh the possible risks.13.What does the underlined sentence suggest?A.Mothers have long been helped by scientists to find remedies for colds.B.Scientists have agreed for centuries with what mothers have understood.C.People have tried chicken soup to help reduce cold symptoms since long ago.D.Mothers know better how to deal with cold symptoms than scientists.14.Which of the following is true about chicken soup?A.It is particularly good for children.B.It can prevent people from colds.C.It is an amazing comfort food for people with colds.D.It surely has medicinal effects on colds.15.What’s the author’s opinion on chicken soup?A.It is good for people with colds to have chicken soup.B.Scientists have found solid evidence about the benefits of chicken soup.C.Chicken soup can take the place of other medicines for colds.D.People still argue whether chicken soup has effects on cold symptoms.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low-budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became popular. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. The reception (接收效果) improved. The picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, today’s 3-D TV is even farther away, if it’s coming at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people’s cold reception given to 3-D movies.But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive (互动的). It wasn’t cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big-screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information at the touch of a button.Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. It’s a question of what we want.”8. What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A. They were very popular with Americans.B. The reception showed no improvement.C. They showed black-and-white pictures.D. They were out of order now and then.9. According to Sanford Brown, the television of the future would be _____.A. larger and largerB. more complexC. cheap to repairD. less expensive10. Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?A. Television’s good quality.B. The invention of 3-D TV.C. The future office’s model.D. The potential of cable TV.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The shortcomings of television.B. The bright future of television.C. The development of television.D. The invention of television.DHeidemarie Schwermer’s unbelievable story began 22 years ago, when she, a middle-aged teacher breaking away from a difficult marriage, took her two children and moved to the city of Dortmund, in Germany’s Ruhr area.One of the first things she noticed was the large number of homeless people, and this shocked her so much that she decided to actually do something about it. She had always believed the homeless didn’t need actual money to be accepted back into society, they only needed a chance to make themselves useful, so she opened a shop called “Give and Take”.It was a place where anyone could trade stuff and skills for other things and skills they needed. The idea didn’t really attract many of Dortmund’s homeless people. Instead, her small shop was popular with many of the city’s unemployed folk who were eager to trade their skills and old stuff for something they needed.Heidemarie Schwermer’s shop eventually became somewhat of a phenomenon in Dortmund and even caused its creator to ask herself some questions about the life she was living. She started to realize she was living with a lot of stuff she didn’t really need and decided not to buy anything else without giving some-thing away.By 1995, the shop had changed her life so much that she was spending almost nothing, as everything she needed seemed to find its way into her life. So in 1996, she took the biggest decision of her life: to live without money. Her children had moved out so she sold the apartment in Dortmund and decided to live nomadically (流浪地), trading things and services for everything she needed. It was supposed to be a 12-month experiment, but she found herself loving it so much that she just couldn’t give it up.15 years later, she still lives according to the principles of Give and Take, doing various chores for accommodation (膳宿) and loving every minute of it.12. What is Heidemarie S chwermer’s unbelievable story about?A. A strong woman who brought up two young children.B. A generous woman who helped the homeless people.C. A smart woman who opened a shop independently.D. A special woman who has given up using money for 15 years.13. Schwermer thought what the homeless actually needed was _____.A. donations to improve their livesB. chances to show their abilitiesC. money to buy necessitiesD. houses to live in14. What effect did Schwermer’s shop eventually bring about?A. The increase of the employment rate.B. Her children’s dissatisfaction.C. Huge profits and fame.D. The change of her lifestyle.15.
