After that, I had a fear of bees. That's when my parents suggested that I learn about bees instead of being frightened. I read picture books and watched videos about bees, and I learned that bees help make the food we eat because of their pollination (授粉). Take pizza, for example. If we didn't have bees to pollinate tomato plants, we wouldn't have tomatoes for sauce. And we wouldn't have cheese without pollination, either.The bad news is that bees are struggling to survive. Many are dying. Some scientists think it might be because of chemicals that are used to kill other insects. What would happen if there were no more bees? I wanted to help. I thought, “What if I make lemonade, sell it, and raise money to help bees？” I talked to my grandmother Helen. She gave me her recipe (调制法) for lemonade. It came from a cookbook from 1940.I added honey to her old recipe. That way, I could sell the lemonade and donate (捐赠) some of the money to groups that are helping to save bees. I could also support local beekeepers by using their honey in my product. And I would be educating others on the importance of bees and helping to save them.My dad showed me how to work out what supplies I needed to buy. At first, I sold lemonade at a stand at a kids' business event. But I wanted to help bees all year round. We talked to a pizza place near where I live. They said they wanted to sell it. Now more than 30 stores sell it, too. This year we sold about 140,000 bottles.I love helping to save bees. It's the sweetest feeling ever.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。

AHave you ever been to the world’s smallest bookstore?The World’s Smallest Bookstore，whose official name is just these three words，sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto.The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet，so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is.The bookstore is open 24 hours a day.Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’works.So if you are looking for something popular，you may get a bit disappointed there.Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars.All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves.So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple：pens，papers，light bulbs and a labelmaker.In order to catch passersby’s attention，the billboards(广告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself.With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.1．What’s the passage mainly about?A．T he world’s smallest bookstore.B．A strange way of selling books.C．The popular books nowadays.D．The popular bookstores in the world.A解析：主旨大意题。

that the nation has reached the world’s advanced level in somatic cell cloning technology.The female lamb,weighing 5.5 kg,was born at the Tianjin Veterinary Research Institute(天津兽医研究所).The institute is a research body that has been involved in the somatic cell cloning program since 2000.“In 2020,science workers extracted(抽取) skin cells from the ears of a Boer goat introduced from Australia.They put the cells into a mature germ cell(生殖细胞) which was got from an ordinary goat.And the goat’s cell nucleus(细胞核) had been removed,making a clone embryo to be transplanted into the body of a local ordinary female goat,” said Dr.Liu Haijun,who leads Tianjin’s somatic c ell cloning program.“After hundreds of experiments,the clone embryo was finally put into a local ordinary female goat.It gave birth to a lamb after 155 daysof pregnancy(怀孕).We got the same copy as the genes of the original species of Boer goat,” he said.The Boer goat,a species from southern Africa,grows fast and produces more meat than ordinary goat or sheep.An adult Boer goat weighs about 100 kg and can provide more than 40 kg of meat.Ding Boliang,head of the institute,said that science workers could build a bank of somatic cells from original livestock species.Thus it would greatly shorten the process of livestock breeding.“We can save endangered rare species or sick animals by extracting skin cells from their bodies.Somatic cell cloning technology can be used to achieve a rapid breeding,” he said.(一)根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects，say researchers in Germany.The dog also appears to learn words for new objects as easily as a 3yearold child would.His wordlearning skill i s as good as that of a parrot or chimpanzee (黑猩猩)．In one experiment，the researchers took all 200 items that Rico was supposed to know and divided them randomly (随意地) into 20 sets of 10 objects each.The dog waited with one of his owners in one room，while an experimenter put a set of 10 objects into another room.Then，the owner told the dog to fetch one of the items.The dog had to go to the other room and bring the object back.In four trials，Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right.Because the dog couldn't see anyone to get visual clues about what to bring back，the scientists concluded that he must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment，the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen beforeand put it in a room with seven toys whose names he already knew.The dog's owner then told him to fetch the object，using a word Rico had never heard.In 7 out of 10 trials，Rico picked the right object，suggesting that he figured out the answer by process of elimination.A month later，he remembered half of the new names，which further impressed the researchers.Rico is probably smarter than the average dog，the scientists say.For one thing，he's a border collie，a breed known for its mental abilities.In addition，the 9yearold dog has been trained to bring t oys back by their names since he was 9 months old.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say.Even if they do，they can't talk back.Still，it wouldn't hurt to sweettalk your pup every now and then.You might just get a big，wet kiss in return!36．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．A dog's amazing memory.B．A dog's absolute faith to his owner.C．A dog's nature of understanding man's order.D．A dog's wordunderstanding and learning ability.37．The purpose of the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph is to ________.A．test a dog's ability of recognizing objectsB．make sure a dog can understand certain wordsC．test whether a dog has a good memoryD．make sure a dog is as clever as a chimpanzee38．The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.A．exclusion B．similarityC．deduction D．comparison39．From the last paragraph，we can infer that ________.A．dogs can't understand all the words we sayB．dogs can't talk back to their ownersC．be careful about your words to your dog，or you'll be bitten by itD．be kind to your dog，and you'll get a kind returnBWith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world，China is trying to clone (克隆) the animal and save the endangered species.That's more similar to what a TexasA & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark”．Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs，embryos (胚胎)，semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen.If certain species should become extinct，Dr Duane Kraemer，a professor in Texas A & M'S College of Veterinary Medicine，says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals，birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years.The panda，native only to China，is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week，Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.They are now trying to implant(植入) the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy，and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem，” Kraemer believes.“They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby)．It takes a long time and it's difficult，but this could be groundbreaking science if it works.They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk，so it is worth the effort.” adds Kraemer，who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M，the firstever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something that's never been done，and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark.We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do.It's a research that is very mu ch needed.”40．According to Professor Kraemer，the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ________.A．available panda eggsB．host animalsC．qualified researchersD．enough money41．The BEST title for the passage may be ________.A．China's Success in Pandas CloningB．The First Cloned Panda in the WorldC．Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasD．China—the Native Place of Pandas Forever42．From the passage we know that ________.A．Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogB．scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbitC．Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researchesD．about two thousand of species will probably die out in a centuryCYou've heard of fast food, but what about slow food?Slow food is an international movement.It promotes home cooking，and the use of fresh, unprocessed produce. It was founded as reaction to the popularity of unhealthy fast food.It also encourages people to buy food from local businesses, rather than large supermarkets.The movement began in 1986. At that time, McDonald's wanted to open a restaurant in the centre of Rome (Italy). Food writer Carlo Perini，along with others, was against this. So, the Slow Food Organization was born. Today, it has over 100,000 members in 132 countries. And its symbol is one of the world's slowest moving creatures, the snail. The organization's website explains，“The snail was chosen because it moves slowly, and calmly eats its way through life.”But Slow Food isn't just about the food we eat. It's also about how we eat it. Slow foodies say that in our fastfood world with very little time, we've forgotten that eating should be a social activity. They believe families should eat together and talk, rather than watch TV with their dinner while sitting in front of it. In fact, research has shown that if children grow up in a family that eats together at the table, they are more likely to do well in school, and less likely to have behavioral problems or develop eating disorders.And there's more! Slow Food has sparked an entire Slow Food Movement. This encourages people to slow down the pace of their busy lives. And now, within the movement, there's Slow Money, Slow Travel, Slow Parenting, Slow Art and Slow Media, among many others. In 1999 the World Institute of Slowness was formed.One of the Institute's slogans is a quotation by the famous American actress Mae West. She said，“Everything worth doing in life is worth doing slowly.”Do you agree? No need to answer straight away. Have a long hard thought about it. Take your time.

However，they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs.Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first，but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often，and，thereseemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog.They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now，the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs.These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.47．From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers ________.A．worked very hard for centuriesB．dreamed of having a better lifeC．were poor but somewhat contentD．lived a different life from their forefathers48．Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A．The frogs were easy money.B．They needed money to buy medicine.C．They wanted to please the visitors.D．The frogs made too much noise.49．What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A．The crops didn't do well.B．There were too many insects.C．The visitors brought in diseases.D．The pesticides were overused.50．What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A．Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B．Health is more important than money.C．The harmony between man and nature is important.D．Good old days will never be forgotten.Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的空格内填入最恰当的单词。

active job searches and less likely to drop out of the labor pool when compared to those who do not have access to the Internet, said the Phoenix Center.Using census (人口普查)data from 2007, the study found that unemployed workers who use broadband, whether at home or a public facility, are at least 50 percent less likely to give up on their job than those who lack such access.Discouragementwas cited by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as a major reason for an increase in the rate of unemployment in 2010.As of December 2009, a large number of American workers have given up looking for a job because of the thought that no jobs are available.According to the Phoenix Center, the new study provides important insights for policymakers at a time of economic crisis, when unemployment rates are extremely high, which now is more than 17 percent.The US Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, which carries the responsibility for the government's monthly data on employed and unemployed individuals, estimates that adding “discouraged workers”，who had given up looking for work, would increase the current US unemployment rate above the frequently reported 10 percent level.By connecting American people to jobs and information about how to better find work, use of the Internet gives them hope and encourages the frustrated unemployed to keep on looking even when job prospects are dim, said Lawrence J．Spiwak, president of the Phoenix Center.“These new findings sug gest that broadband connectivity can contribute to economic recovery，” Mr.Spiwak added.The study has demonstrated that there are several reasons why the Internet helps keep the jobless from quitting on their job searches such as the inexpensiveness of using the Internet to search for information about job opportunities and salaries, as well as the emotional and other types of support unemployed individuals receive by means of the Internet.The study found evidence that the unemployed are more likely to be discouraged when they do not surf the Web, and this evidence suggests that support and information obtained from the Internet significantly reduce the chances that they might feel there are no jobs, or no jobs for which they could qualify.The study also highlights the benefits and importance of community broadband centers to assist those who do not have Internet access at home.36．What do we know from the passage?A．Researchers for the study analyzed census data of the last ten years.B．People who lack Internet access are less likely to quit on their job searches.C．People can learn how to better find a job during economic crisis by using the Internet.D．Many workers give up looking for jobs because they don't qualify for any jobs.37．What important insights does this new study provide for policymakers?A．The Internet is an effective means of looking for a job for the unemployed.B．Making the Internet access available is beneficial to economic recovery.C．It is necessary to help jobless people keep on searching when job prospects are bad.D．Teaching people how to surf the Internet will decrease the unemployment rate.38．Which of the following is NOT an advantage of looking for a job on the Internet?A．Offering information about jobs.B．Helping to save money.C．Giving encouragement in spirit.D．Offering chances for increased salaries.39．According to the passage, people who lack Internet access at home can go to________.A. anyone who has Internet accessB．the US Labor Department's Bureau of Labor StatisticsC．the Phoenix CenterD．community broadband centers40．In which part is this passage possibly from if it is taken from a newspaper?A．Science. B．Culture.C．Economy. D．IT.BIf you know the following fact, you'll understand why many people suffer from foot problems: The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the earth in a lifetime.That is enormous wear_and_tear on the 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles that make up the foot.In a recent survey for the American Podiatric Medical Association, 53 percent of respondents reported foot pain so severe that it affected their daily function.On average, people develop pain in their 60s, but it can start as early as the 20s and 30s.And usually women give care to their feet while men don't.“A lot of people think foot pain is part of the aging process and accept it, and walk with pain，” said Dr.Andrew Shapiro.Though some foot problems are inevitable, their progress can be slowed.The following questions will help you assess whether you should take more preventive action as you age.Do you have flat feet or high arches (足弓)? Eitherputs feet at risk.Shoes that support the arch and heel can help flat feet.People with high arches should look for roomy shoes and softer padding (衬垫) to absorb the shock.Proper exercises also strengthen muscles supporting the foot.Do your shoes fit? In the survey, more than 34 percent of men said they could not remember the last time their feet were measured.20 percent of women said that once a week they wore shoes that hurt, and 8 percent wore painful shoes daily.Feet flatten and lengthen with age, so if you still stick to the shoe size you wore at the age of 21，get your feet measured.Do you walk? Putting more mileage(里程) on your feet is the best way to exercise the muscles and keep them healthy.41．The underlined phrase “wear and tear” in Paragraph 1 probably means“________”．A．a surprising experienceB．an unimaginable distanceC．damage due to continuous useD．a contribution to the feet42．What do we know from the passage?A. The population of men and women who have foot problems is similar.B．Walking as little as possible can protect your feet from pain.C．More than half of the respondents have serious foot problems.D．53% of people develop foot pain in their 60s.43．Compared with men, women________.A．have a long walk each dayB．take good care of their feetC．have a slow foot aging processD．are likely to have foot problems44．Which of the following statements best explains foot pain?A．Not all of it can be avoided.B．People can't slow its process.C．Walking more will stop foot pain.D．Preventive actions can't work well.45．If your feet are 26 cm long at 23, what is the probable length of your feet when you are 43?A．25 cm. B．25.2 cm.C．26 cm. D．26.2 cm.CBeing a fashion model is a more challenging career than many people think, because you have lots of things to be aware of like maintaining your perfect figure and competing with many beautiful and attractive models.A famous company would probably choose the perfect model for its products and if you get chosen then maybe you can consider yourself a super model.Some super models are as popular as famous actors and actresses.Let's talk about qualifications to become a fashion model.You should be between 15 and 22 years old, though probably closer to 15.Models don't have careers that last as long as doctors, so agencies tend to want to invest their time in someone young.You also have to consider your height.Being tall, longlegged, and thin is the most acceptable.At least 5′8″ in height and of average weight, which for a model is 108—125 pounds.These characteristics are partly aesthetic (美的) and partly practical.There are always exceptions to the rule, of course —Kate Moss is 5′7″and Gabrielle Reece is a giant 6′3″—but, in general, the closer you are to the industry criteria，the better your chances.Aside from height requirements, models are required to have good skin, great teeth, nice smile, healthy hair, and must be well dressed.Models must also be highly photogenic, able to do a variety of poses and expressions and take direction well.It is possible to have a bad skin condition but as long as you are able to keep it under control, such issues can be fixed using Photoshop.However, the clearer your complexion (肤色) is, the better.There are many types of models, such as editorial fashion models, commercial models, fitness models, and catalog models.Every type has its own criteria.That is why I believe that every person, who is inspired to become a model, has the chance as long as they meet the criteria.This could be your career, if that is what you want out of life.46．What's the BEST title for the passage?A．Modeling is a challenging careerB．Height requirements for a fashion modelC．Different types of models in societyD．Things to be aware of as a model47．If you get chosen by a famous company as a model for a certain product，________.A. you will become a model for other companies soonB．you are sure to be more famous than actors and actressesC．your career as a model will be prolongedD．it means you are competitive among all the models48．What are the qualifications for becoming an outstanding fashion model?a．Being able to do a variety of poses and expressionsb．Having a good figurec．Being less than 25 years oldd．Having good skin, great teeth and healthy haire．Having beautiful eyes and long legsA．a，b，e B．a，b，dC．b，d，e D．a，c，d49．We can infer from the passage that________.A．a person who is taller than others finds it easier to become a modelB．famous models are a ll at least 5′8″ in heightC．not all famous models are 108—125 poundsD．people with bad skin conditions can't become a model50．A person who wants

studio in their home.They are helping to support the music of artists who they say are extremely talented yet largely unknown.Jake built a recording studio in their garage.The couple produced a CD with a singer named Ata.The Rohrers wanted to continue producing music, so they established their own record label.They chose the name that one of their artists had given to theirhome—Ululoa.The Rohrers decided to invite only native singers they liked to record with them.They say they give their artists freedom of expression and cultural respect.They also give them half the profits once sales have paid back the cost of producing a CD.There are no contracts (合同)．Jake Rohrer says everything is settled with a handshake based on the Hawaiian tradition of pono.In Hawaiian culture, stories are passed down from generation to generation through songs.Many artists say the Rohrer are helping to save this oral tradition.But Laurie Rohrer says they are just trying to produce good music.Lauri e Rohrer said, “ It cannot be said that we are doing what we do to preserve Hawaiian culture.But if recording Hawaiian people and their music has an end result, we would be very happy.”Laurie and Jake Rohrer are already watching the next generation of Hawaiian singers.When the best of them are ready, they will be invited to record on the Ululoa label.51.________ in Hawaii52.________ The

year.Dorms come in all sizes.A building may house a small number of students or manyhundreds.Some have suites.Each suite has several bedrooms，a common living area and a bathroom.Six or more students may live in one suite.Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway，usually with two students in each room.Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students.Also，dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school.Most colleges and universities offer singlesex dorms，but usually males and females live in the same building.They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms.But，in most cases，they may live in the same room only if they are married.At many schools，male students can join fraternities (联谊会，兄弟会) and females can join sororities (女生联谊会，姊妹会)．These are mainly social organizations but members may also be able to live in their fraternity or sorority house.Edward Spencer is the associate vicepresident(副主席) for student affairs at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.He says it is important to understand the rules of the building in which you will live.He advises students to ask questions before they decide about their housing.For example：If a student requires a special diet，will the school provide for it?Virginia Tech，for example，had a ban against candles in dorms.But it changed that policy to let students light candles for religious purposes.61．In what condition may males and females live in the same room in universities？(No more than 5
