It is the seed of a cactus (仙人掌) plant. The seed lies on the ground. It lies there for one year. It is waiting. The cactus seed must wait for rain. But not just any rain. It waits for a heavy rain. It needs a heavy rain so it can grow.One day, a heavy rain falls. It makes the seed sprout. The small seed then sends out tiny roots. The roots go down into the earth. A new cactus begins to grow. The growing cactus needs food. Its food is in the seed. The seed feeds the cactus as it grows.The cactus sends out more roots. They go deeper into the earth. There they reach water. Other roots are not so deep. They take water from light rains. Soon the food in the seed is gone. The new cactus must now make its own food. The cactus takes in light from the sun. It takes in air and water. The cactus turns these into food. For two or more years the cactus grows. Then it is ready to flower. The cactus produces a bud (花蕾). The bud is the start of a flower. The bud has hairs on it. The hairs help keep animals away.Then one day, there is a fl ower. But it will not stay for long. The cactus needs to save its food and water. So it keeps its flower only a few days. Then seeds fall from the flower. They fall to the ground. Here they lie for a year. They lie and wait for rain. One day, they will grow into a new cactus.1. Why does the seed of a cactus lie on the ground?A. To wait for a heavy rain to grow.B. To avoid being hurt by animals.C. To wait for a strong wind to send it far away.D. To continue its growth after falling from the cactus.2. The growing cactus gets its food from ______.A. the windB. the seedC. the heavy rainD. the dry earth3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. The roots of the cactus can’t go deep into the earth.B. The cactus can make water from the air.C. The cactus stops growing when its food is used up.D. The cactus can create food with light, water and air.4. The hairs on the bud of the cactus are used for ______.A. taking in more airB. absorbing more waterC. not being eaten by animalsD. not getting burnt by light5. From the article we can make the conclusion that ______.A. there is a heavy rain every year in the desertB. a cactus will die when it starts to flowerC. animals show little interest in eating buds of cactusesD. seeds of cactuses still keep alive in the dry weatherBLeatherback Turtles are found in most warm seas, often migrating from one continent to another. They are the largest of all turtles, sometimes weighing more than 1,500 pounds. Unlike other turtles, their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shell. These turtles have huge strong front flippers which can propel them in the water at high speeds.Leatherback Turtles have a very unique way of laying their eggs. From August to September, female turtles travel vast distances just to lay their eggs on the exact spot where they had laid their eggs previously. As soon as they reach the shore, they will not rest until they have arrived at their nesting grounds. By using their giant flippers, they dig a deep hole in the sand. In this hole, they will lay about 100 to 200 soft rubbery eggs . Once they are finished, the turtles will cover up the hole with sand and return to the sea, only coming next year to the same spot to dig another hole to lay eggs.The heat of the sun will warm the eggs and after a period of time, the hatchlings will climb out of the sand and crawl towards the sea. Even though many turtles are hatched, many do not survive the first few weeks of their lives. There are many animals such as seagulls who prey on the young turtles. The baby turtle’s hard shell has not yet formed and has no hardened defense against the attackers. Some turtles are caught in fishermen’s nets and left out to die. Other turtles are caught between the wastes man produced such as plastic bags and eventually die of suffocation (窒息).To make matters worse, Leatherback Turtles are hunted for their ornamental shell and their eggs are considered delicacies. Illegal gathering for eggs to be sold in markets also helps in the decline of these turtles.6. Leatherback Turtles are different from other turtles because ______.A. they are large in sizeB. their ribs and backbones are not joined togetherC. their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shellD. they have front flippers7. When Leatherback Turtles reach the shore, they will ______.A. take a rest before laying eggsB. find their old hole to lay eggsC. lay eggs immediatelyD. find their nesting grounds first8. Which of the following is NOT a threat to Leatherback Turtles?A. Seagulls.B. Hunting.C. Waste.D. Weather.9.We learn from the last paragraph that Leatherback Turtles ______.A. are well protected nowB. need urgent protectionC. are allowed to be hunted by lawD. still exist in large numbers10. The underlined word “hatchlings”in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. newly laid eggsB. newly born turtlesC. mother turtlesD. big turtlesCLearning to play a musical instrument can change your brain. A US review has found that musical training can improve speech and foreign language skills.Although it was suggested in the past that listening to Mozart’s music or other classical music make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that mus ic can boost brain power.But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled research together that links between musical training and learning can affect skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion.Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural (神经中枢的) connections made during musical training also prepared the brain for other aspects of human communication.“The effect of musical training suggests that music is a resource that tones (增强) the brain for auditory (听觉的) fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in encouraging individual development.” the researchers said in their study.Kraus said learning musical sounds could improve the brain’s ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide constructive patterns that are important to learning.The study, published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, showed the improvement of research in recent years focusing on the effect of musical training on the nervous system which could have strong impact on education.The study found that playing an instrument prepares the brain to choose what is related in the complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score, timing issues and coordination (协调) with other musicians.“A musician’s brain selectively enhances information-bearing elements in sound,”Kraus said in a statement. The study also reviewed literature showing, for example, that musicians are more successful than non-musicians in learning to connect sound patterns for a new language with words.11. The passage is mainly about ______.A. researches on musical instrumentsB. the study of musicC. the effect of classical musicD. the benefit of musical training12. According to the researcher Kraus, musical training contributes to the following EXCEPT ______.A. body fitnessB. the brain’s ability to adapt and changeC. mental concentrationD. the ability to communicate13. It was believed but hasn’t been proved that liste ning to classical music could ______.A. boost your intelligenceB. improve your speech abilitiesC. develop the ability to learn languages wellD. make you feel happy14. According to the study, musicians are better at learning a foreign language because ______.A. they are better at remembering a scoreB. they are more sensitive to changesC. they are better at connecting sounds with words in a foreign languageD. th ey can cooperate better with others15. Which field might the study have a great effect on?A. ArtsB. EducationC. MusicD. MedicineDAccording to a recent study, only about one out of four high school’s yearbooks still feature the classic “Most Likely to Succeed” award. The reason is that we’re afraid to give a kid a label that will haunt them for the rest of their life, always pushing them to be a success and making them feel like a failure if they’re not VIPs.A survey by the website also found that about one out of three people who were named “Most Likely to Succeed” in high school say it w as a “curse (祸害)” .Two in five say it was an “inspiration”.Blake Atwood is one of the people who said it was a curse. He was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by his classmates in 1998, and he works as a copywriter for a law fi rm now.I feel sorry for this guy. Not because he’s not successful, but because he doesn’t realize he is. A synonym (同义词) for success is accomplishment. He’s a tax-paying, society-contributing member of the human race. He gets up every morning with a roof over his head, food on his table and a family that loves him. What else does he need? Did he reach every goal he had for his life? Probably not, but not all goals are achieved. The secret of goals is that the victory is sometimes not in the attainment (达到)of them, but in the struggle and journey to achieve them along the way. What did you learn? Who did you meet? What impact did you make on them ?My goal was to play college basketball. Due to many reasons, it was not to be. However, the quest for that goal led me to a college where I started doing this. I never played a minute of college ball, but does that make me any less successful? I don’t think so.One of my favorite quotes comes from the coach, John Wooden. It goes something like this: “Success is the state of mind derived from the satisfaction of knowing you did your best to become the very best you were capable of becoming.” My wish for Blake Atwood and for you is not the achievement of others’view of “success” , but the achievement of yours.16. Acc ording to the passage, “Most L ikely to Succeed” award ______.A. caused a dispute among the studentsB. was thought highly of by all the studentsC. was ordered to stopD. was a way to inspire the students to succeed17. We can learn from the passage that Blake Atwood ______.A. has achieved none of his goals in lifeB. is a negative example of this awardC. hasn’t realized the meaning of successD. hasn’t succeeded in his career as a copywriter18. The author thinks that the secret of goals lies in ______.A. the attainment of themB. the process to achieve themC. the impact made by themD. the ways of setting them19. The author lists John Wooden’s quote in the passage in order to ______.A. explain the procedures for successB. prove that Blake Atwood is wrongC. show his understanding of successD. provide some advice for the readers20. What is the best title of this passage?A. “Most Likely to Succeed” AwardB. Different Attitudes towards SuccessC. My Great Pity for Blake AtwoodD.

But I must accept the consequences. I would rather have a live daughter who I will never see again than a dead daughter.”It is the first time that Laura’s mother, Babs Müller, has spoken out against the trip. Laura’s parents are divorced and the girl has lived with her father since she was six. Her father Dick Dekker supports Laura’s plans. However, the Dutch Child Protection Board h as decided to place the girl under supervision (监督) for two months to ascertain whether she is mentally and physically capable of undertaking the journey.Ms Müller says she is confident that Laura is technically capable of making the journey. “She can sail like the devil. That’s not the problem.” However, she is afraid of the problems a 13-year-old girl can encounter in the harbors of Third-World countries and of the psychological (心理上的) pressure of being alone for such a long period on the ocean. “The mos t important thing, in my eyes, is that she is not yet an adult.”Ms Müller says she told Laura once before that she was opposed to the idea. Her daughter replied, “If you forbid me, you will have ruined my entire life. Then I’ll never want to see you agai n.” However, Laura’s mother says that reports that a camera team is planning to follow her around the world could change her opinion about the trip.36. Laura Dekker’s plans to sail solo around the world .A. made her parents divorceB. have attracted wide attentionC. made her father unhappyD. were a difficult decision to make37. It can be inferred that Laura Dekker and her mother .A. are angry with Dick DekkerB. had a quarrelC. lost touch with each otherD. are all good sailors38. We can learn that the Dutch Child Protection Board .A. will train Laura for two monthsB. will help Laura realize her dreamC. cares about Laura’s safetyD. doesn’t believe in Laura at all39. Laura De kker’s mother is confident about .A. her daughter’s sailing abilitiesB. her daughter’s psychological stateC. her relationship with her husbandD. her relationship with her daughter40. What does the underlined part “opposed to” mean?A. Against.B. Shocked by.C. Beyond.D. Satisfied with.BAmericans do many different things during their vacations. Some people stay at home and enjoy time with their families. They may go to a local swimming pool, zoo or museum. Other people travel to enjoy large national parks, the mountains, the ocean, or large amusement parks. Many people visit interesting American cities or historic areas. Some people visit family members in other states. Still other Americans visit foreign countries.Recently there is a new use for vacation time —learning about a new kind of job.

He bit a female zookeeper before being caught. The 24-year-old gorilla came out of his living quarters through an unlocked door on Monday morning. He ran into the space which was used by zoo workers but closed to the public.A keeper who has cared for Koga since he arrived in 2007 was bitten on her hand and leg. Zoo officials said it was an act of excitement. “He was probably just as surprised coming face to face with her as she was with him,” Buffalo Zoo President Donna Fernandes said.The keeper took refuge (庇护) inside the habitat of a female gorilla and her newborn baby. The keeper’s decision to lock herself inside the separate habitat likely kept her from being further harmed. The keeper had a good relationship with the mother who, like Koga, is a west lowland gorilla, native to West Africa and the Congo River Basin, according to Fernandes.Several locked doors prevented Koga from running wildly through the zoo and beyond. The police sent in a team to make sure the area was safe while a vet (兽医) used a pipe to sedate (给……服镇静剂) Koga. The gorilla was dragged by the zoo staff back to his cage once the drugs took hold.Visitors to the zoo were moved indoors and stayed there for about 45 minutes while the team was trying to catch the gorilla and send it back to his cage. “That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my career,” said the team’s captain Mark Maraschiello. “It’s a 400-pound gorilla. Nobody knew what harm he could do to us. He could have bitten my arm off easily,” Maraschiello added.46. What is the main idea of this passage?A. A zoo keeper was injured while working at the zoo.B.

The fire quickly burned through 4,140 acres of land — an area the size of more than 3,000 football fields. It killed three people, destroyed at least 25 houses, and forced hundreds of people to evacuate their homes.Investigations have found that the fire was likely caused by a controlled burn started one week earlier by the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS). A controlled burn is a fire ignited (点燃) by professionals to clear the ground of built-up fuel —such as dead wood, thick layers of pine needles (松叶), and overcrowded trees — that can cause dangerous wildfires. Hundreds of controlled burns have been safely managed in Colorado forests over the past few months.Fire professionals take many measures to make sure that burns can be controlled. Before starting a burn, the professionals look carefully at weather forecasts, how close the fire will be to houses and roads, and other factors. They plan how they will ignite and contain the fire and arrange for resources such as fire trucks and firefighters to be present.CSFS officials say fire crews followed all safety procedures (步骤) before starting the controlled burn near Denver on March 19. The fire died down four days later. But on March 26, high winds blew embers (余烬) onto unburned land, starting the deadly flame. Unusually warm temperatures and dry conditions helped it spread.Fire crews now have the flame almost fully contained, and most families have been allowed to return to their homes. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has issued a temporary ban on controlled burns on state land and has called for a complete review of the rules for these typesof fires.51.
