The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants. It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red- tail hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.Suddenly it was announced that the "empty" land would be improved by a lot of houses on it.The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds. When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.Andrew wrote down clearly all the researches he had down about the area, and how the houses would affect the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses. Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign, who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built, and thus help save the environment.（1） The passage is mainly about _______.A . 250 people who signed to help AndrewB . a brave boy who cared for the environmentC . the open land that suited animals and plantsD . the research on improving the environment（2） The underlined word "oppose" in the passage probably means______.A . supportB . dislikeC . disagreeD . prefer（3） Andrew was very worried because _______.A . the animals would be killedB . new houses would be built on the open landC . not all the neighbors were going to signD . he was praised by his teachers and classmates.（4） We can infer that _______.A .

He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life."I want to be a sailor and go to sea", I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy aboutthis."Please don't go." my father said, "You won't be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life." And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me, "We are sailing to London tomorrow.

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom?Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another youngperson to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks likeus. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hairsit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences andwe are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves, or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stay with the same people, the samegroup. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same o pinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We l ose the chance to learn something new, find out interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers which prevent us fromgetting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知) ? If you wantto live in a society that opens to changes , new things and different opinions ,be the cat among thepigeons(鸽子).Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there insilence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That's how we make friends. That's how we learn about people. That's how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.（1） From the passage ,we know that people prefer sitting by someone who .A . is like themselvesB . has a sense of humorC . is open - mindedD . lives an exciting life（2） People like staying in their comfort zone because they may .A . remain comfortable and specialB . find out more interesting thingsC . be accepted easily and feel safeD . discover differences among themselves（3） The sentence "Unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves." should be put at the beginning of .A .

For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting (引用) a Biblical(圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful(体贴的) of their wives. Then he went on to say. "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love. "To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would changeAnd it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweaterlooks great on you.""Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression."What's the matter?" I asked her."Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don't?""What do you mean?""Well…that checkup(体检)I had several weeks ago… our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me…am I dying?"It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing."No, honey, "I said, wrapping her in my arms." You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."（1） In the first paragraph, "No ifs, ands or buts" probably means .A . unnecessarilyB . unexpectedlyC . impossiblyD . unconditionally（2） From the story we may infer(推断) that Tom went to the beach cottage .A . with his familyB . with EvelynC . aloneD . with his children（3） During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because .A . she looked lovely in her new clothesB . he had made a lot of money in Wall StreetC . he was determined to be a good husbandD . she was seriously ill（4） The underlined words "one thing" in the passage refer to the fact that .A . he praised her sweater, which puzzled herB . she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hatedC . he knew something about her illness but didn't tell herD . he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying（5） By saying "I'm just starting to live", Tom means that .A . he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeB . he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husbandC . he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeD . he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wife3. （8分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

things．One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money．In western countries，people did not use paper money until the 15th century．However，people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century．A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago．He made it from wood．He took the wood from trees and made it into paper．He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book．Now paper still comes from trees．We use a lot of paper every day! If we keep on wasting so much paper，there will not be any trees on the earth．If there are no trees，there will be no paper．Every day ，people throw away about 2800 tons （吨）of paper in our city．It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper．This means that we are cutting nearly 48000 trees every day．Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow，we must start using less paper now．If we don't，we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper．So how can we save（节约）paper？We can use both sides of every piece of paper，especially when we are making notes．We can choose drinks in bottles instead（代替）of those in paper packets．We can also use cotton handkerchiefs （手帕）and not paper ones．When we go shopping，we can use fewer paper bags．If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag，we can save it and reuse it later．Everyone can help to save paper．If we all think carefully，we can help protect trees．But we should do it now，before it is too late．（1）When he was in China，Marco polo．A．saw many wonderful thingsB．learned to make paperC．discovered Cai Lun invented paperD．told people about it（2）Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper？A．To grow more treesB．To use the paper bags from shops more than onceC．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper onesD．To use both sides of every piece of paper（3）Which of the following is NOT TRUE？A．If we keep on wasting paper，we will have no paper to useB．The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the people in western countriesC．It is never too late to plant trees for paper．D．About 48000 trees can be used to make 2800 tons of paper．（4）Which is the best title （标题）of the passage ？A．The history of PaperB．Saving PaperC．Cotton Handkerchiefs Back AgainD．CaiLun ，the Great Inventor。

To her parents' surprise, she made $175 by selling the cakes that Sunday.Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted. She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didn't. Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her father's phone number on them. Then she began handing the cards out. More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes. Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes.Though Taylor has made a lot of money, she still works hard at school. She also likes to take part in other activities. So Taylor must carefully manage her time. For example, instead of watching TV after school, Taylor might have to bake(烘焙) a lot of cakes for customers.

Others would rudely text their friends during lessons, sometimes even while I talked to them. One young woman, K, openly played a game at her desk with earphones!Why did such a situation appear? I began to think my class was boring (probably true!) and that my students hated me (I could understand). But what could I do? I couldn't fail every student.

I also found ways to use their phones. Things like research, translation and creative projects. I found that my students worked hardest on these activities.Phones might not be the biggest problem.

He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid (流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.（1） What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?A . It was crawling around quietly on the ground.B .

Patient but cruel.B . Careful and wise.C . Kind but unwise.D . Brave and funny.（4） What does the last paragraph (段落) tell us?A . Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life.B . Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it.C . Every good deed will come back with good result.D . The greatest happiness in the world is to help others. （5） What is the best title for the story?A . The Love for the CocoonB . The Joy of Helping Each OtherC . The Lesson of the CocoonD .

He believed that the US stood for freedom for all. He wanted to become a senator (参议员). In 1858, Lincoln debated(争论) against Stephen Douglas who was also a candidate for the Senate from Illinois.Because of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln became known across the country. Then he decided to run for the presidency in 1860. At last he ran against Stephen Douglas and two other candidates.Lincoln took the oath (誓言) of office to become president of the United States on March 4, 1861.

The famous Civil War began in April,1861.Lincoln's Union Army fought the Southern Confederate Armies. Many soldiers were killed in the battles. One of the battles took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In 1863, a ceremony was held to memorize the dead on the Gettysburg battlefield.
