given a gift that would shape his life．On that day his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him．There was just one requirement：Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year．To that point Lin had had many hobbies，but none kept his interest for more than a week or two．His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting．That hobby lasted a week．Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through．Those paints were now under his bed，still unopened．This time Lin's parents would let him decide．Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer．He stopped at "Photography"．He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera．Although Lin's family weren't poor，they weren't rich either，and a camera cost a lot of money．He continued looking．The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art"．He didn't even know what that meant．His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches．Lin，a shy boy，could think of nothing worse．Then he saw it．"Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do．It was inexpensive and convenient，it could be done alone and it was also creative．Based on Lin's hobby history，his dad had doubts，but he agreed．Much to his parents' surprise，Lin kept his promise．He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday，and practised at home，making delicious meals for his family．Everyone looked forward to birthdays，when they could eat his cakes．Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others．The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again．Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant．When customers say they enjoy his meal，he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child，and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago．（1）Why didn't Lin choose to study photography？A．It was too expensive．B．He had no interest in it．C．He was not very creative．D．It was not offered that term．（2）The underlined expression "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4means ""．A．make him excitedB．cause him surpriseC．get his attentionD．help him see clearly（3）Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking？A．It only lasted for a short time．B．It seemed to match his character．C．It was forced on him by his parents．D．It developed slowly over many months．（4）Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking？A．Lin wasn't good at cooking．B．Cooking wasn't very convenient．C．He didn't think Lin would continue．D．Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy．（5）What's the best title for the passage？A．A Strict FatherB．A Changeable BoyC．The Fun of CookingD．The Birthday Gift4．（10分）Experts believe that there are more than 8million restaurants in the world today．So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants，as we know them，have only existed for a few centuries．Before 1765，there were no restaurants．That is，there were no places that provided the restaurant experience．There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu．In fact，there were no menus anywhere．There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that．The countryside was full of inns that would serve food．And there were taverns where one could get drinks．The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks．But none of them could be called a "restaurant"．A man called Boulanger changed that．In 1765，he opened a place in Paris that sold soups（汤）．On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling．At that time，soups were considered something that could help "restore"（恢复）your health﹣in French the word "restore" is "restaurer"﹣﹣﹣so he called the soups "restaurants"．Soon，people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill．And over time，people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself．More "restaurants" opened in France，and people began to buy soups more often．Later，restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup．In the 1790s，menus started to appear．By the mid﹣1800s，there were many types of restaurants throughout the world．The United States offered coffee shops．Tea houses became popular throughout China．Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich．The British began to copy the French，and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire．Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants．Diners have millions of options from which to choose．（1）What is the passage mainly about？A．How restaurants developedB．What made a good restaurant．C．Who created the first restaurantD．Why restaurants became popular．（2）According to the first paragraph，what made restaurants different from earlier eating places？A．Restaurants only served foodB．Restaurants were more expensiveC．Restaurants were mainly in citiesD．Restaurants had a list of meal choices（3）Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant？A．Rich peopleB．Sick people．C．Travellers．D．Workers．（4）When it was first used．what did the word "restaurant" refer to？A．A person．B．A place．C．Illness．D．Soup．（5）When did restaurants begin to grow internationally？A．In the 1600s．B．In the 1700s．C．In the 1800s．D．In the 1900s．5．（10分）Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth．Whatmany people don't know is that junk（垃圾）has become a problem in outer space too．According to BBC News，there are more than 22，000pieces of space junk floating around the earth．And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes （望远镜）．There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see．Objects，like bits of old space rockets or satellites，move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts．If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship，it could damage the vehicle．To make things worse，when two objects in space crash，they break into many smaller pieces．For example，when a U．S．satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009，it broke into more than 2，000pieces，increasing the amount of space junk．To reduce additional space junk，countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25years at most．Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time．In the upper parts of the atmosphere，it will burn up．Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk．In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk．The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up．The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed．The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers，" says Marco Castronuovo，an Italian space Researcher．"The time to act is now．The longer we leave the problem，the bigger it will become，" he says．（1）What does the underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2refer to？A．Telescopes．B．Satellites．C．Pieces of space junk．D．BBC news reports．（2）Why is space junk considered a problem？A．It buns up after it re﹣enters the atmosphereB．It often stops the view of telescopes on EarthC．It could force new space tools to travel at slower speedsD．It may crash into other space tools causing damage or deat（3）Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that．A．the tools can be reused laterB．the tools don't become space junkC．the earth's atmosphere can stay cleanD．the effects of space flight can be studied（4）How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk？A．Catch it with nets．B．Use robots to collect it．C．Burn it in the earth's atmosphere．D．Send it further away from the earth．（5）In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article？A．Environment．B．Local News．C．Education．D．Fashion．6．（10分）Science for KidsThis month's most popular

time？Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808．He studied engineering and drawing．During his studies，Meucci started to experiment with electricity．（2）When two places were connected with wire，people in those places could hear each other talk．In 1850，Meucci and his wife．Ester．moved to New York．Meucci was worried about his wife，because she had become very ill．（3）To solve this problem，he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop．This way，they could talk to each other conveniently．Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention．They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires．（4）Even worse，Meucci never applied for a patent （专利）on his invention．Meanwhile，Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876the patent for the telephone was given to him．In 2002，more than a century after Meucci's death，his work was finally recognised by the government．（5）A．He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables．B．However，he wasn' t the first person to think of the idea．C．Unfortunately，only a few people attended this talk．D．He will now be known all over the world as the telephone's inventor．E．He needed

to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him．There was just one requirement：Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year．To that point Lin had had many hobbies，but none kept his interest for more than a week or two．His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting．That hobby lasted a week．Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through．Those paints were now under his bed，still unopened．This time Lin's parents would let him decide．Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer．He stopped at "Photography"．He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera．Although Lin's family weren't poor，they weren't rich either，and a camera cost a lot of money．He continued looking．The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art"．He didn't even know what that meant．His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches．Lin，a shy boy，could think of nothing worse．Then he saw it．"Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do．It was inexpensive and convenient，it could be done alone and it was also creative．Based on Lin's hobby history，his dad had doubts，but he agreed．Much to his parents' surprise，Lin kept his promise．He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday，and practised at home，making delicious meals for his family．Everyone looked forward to birthdays，when they could eat his cakes．Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others．The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again．Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant．When customers say they enjoy his meal，he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child，and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago．（1）Why didn't Lin choose to study photography A？A．It was too expensive．B．He had no interest in it．C．He was not very creative．D．It was not offered that term．（2）The underlined expression "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4means "C"．A．make him excitedB．cause him surpriseC．get his attentionD．help him see clearly（3）Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking B？A．It only lasted for a short time．B．It seemed to match his character．C．It was forced on him by his parents．D．It developed slowly over many months．（4）Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking C？A．Lin wasn't good at cooking．B．Cooking wasn't very convenient．C．He didn't think Lin would continue．D．Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy．（5）What's the best title for the passage D？A．A Strict FatherB．A Changeable BoyC．The Fun of CookingD．The Birthday Gift【分析】林在他十一岁生日的时候，他收到了一份能塑造他生活的礼物．他选择了他感兴趣的烹饪课程．并且遵守了诺言．他每个星期六都去学习烹饪，在家练习，为家人做美味的饭菜．林变得很棒．从食物带给别人的快乐中得到满足．几个月过去了，但他的嗜好再也没有改变．现在林已经成年，经营着一家成功的餐馆．当顾客说他们喜欢他的饭菜时，他仍然像小时候一样享受，还记得他多年前收到的特别礼物．【解答】1．A．细节理解题．根据"Although Lin's family weren't poor，they weren't rich either，and a camera cost a lot of money．He continued looking．"可知，虽然林家不穷，但他们也不富有，相机也要花很多钱．他继续寻找．故选A．2．C．词意猜测题．A让他兴奋，B让他吃惊，C吸引他的注意力，D帮助他看清楚，根据前句" He continued
