But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine，"replied the crocodile．"No knife or tooth can cut through it．"Just as they were coming to blows，a lion happened to pass．"My dear friends !" said the King of all animals，going up to them．"Let me know the cause of your disagreement．""Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal？"cried both at once．"Certainly，"said the lion，pointing across the river．"Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall？""Yes! "replied the beasts．"Well，then，"continued the lion，" go and get it，and bring it to me，and I shall be able then to decide between you．"Upon hearing this，off they started．The crocodile，being used to the water，reached the opposite side of the river first，and was soon standing beside the wall．Here he waited till the elephant came up．The elephant，seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal，raised his long trunk，and took down the hat quite easily．They then made their way together back again across the river．The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless．When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch，the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom．The crocodile noticed the accident，so down he dived，and brought it up in his huge mouth．They then returned，and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet．The King took it up，and turning to the elephant，said："You，because of your size and trunk，were able to reach the hat on the wall but，having lost it，you were unable to get it back．And you，said the lion to the crocodile，"although unable to reach the hat，were able to dive for it and save it．You are both wise and able in your own ways．One is no better than the other．"26．The underlined word"disputing"in Paragraph 1 means ．A．playing B．quarrelling C．complaining D．deciding27．What did

tree．C．He was trying to swim too fast D．He wanted to fight the crocodile30．How were the elephant and the crocodile able to complete their task？A．By working together B．planning carefullyC．By sharing their ideas D．By listening to the lion（B）They say that"travel is the best teacher"and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake （1587-1641）．His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake，not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography．Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family，Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel．When he was 18，however，Xu's father died and so，it seemed，did his travelling dreams．He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required．But his mother had different ideas．Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences，this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home．She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year，when there was less farm work．So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support，Xu set off for the first time，leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well．He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years．During this time，he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom，carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary，which once had over 500，000 words，would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake．Although rich，Xu avoided comfortable travel，preferring to go almost everywhere on foot．This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world．Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas，and through wild forests where few people lived．His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however．Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick，robbed and beaten during his journeys．Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey，a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China．He died in 1641，soon after returning to his hometown for the last time．When his diary was finally printed years after his death，much of it had been destroyed or lost．Although incomplete，it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world．31．What is the passage mainly about ？A．The general details of Xu Xiake's life storyB．The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travelsC．The important discoveries made by Xu XiakeD．The influence of Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake32．Which of the following best describes Xu's mother ？A．Strict but interesting B．Kind but uneducatedC．Helpful and hardworking D．Supportive and open-minded33．Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels？A．It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of peopleB．It helped him to save money and travel for a longer timeC．It allowed him to see and study the environment in detailD．It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in34．What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu xiake ？A．It was only made public after Xu diedB．It made Xu very famous during his lifetimeC．It was the first travel book ever written in ChinaD．It was mainly about the different people of China35．What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's lite ？a．He went on his first journey．b．His book was finally printedc．He returned to his hometown for the last timed．He developed an interest in books about other placese．He started managing the family farm after his father diedA．a-e-d-c-b B．d-e-a-c-b C．d-e-a-b-c D．e-d-a-b-c（C）Should Museum Entry Be FreeWith International Museum Day coming up，today we are asking readers：Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket？Let us know your view．CommentsMuseums are not only there for enjoyment；they are education．This is why they mustbe free．While museums need a huge amount of money to operate，let the wealthy pay forit．The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost iswrong．Krista Chen（US）-Age 15 Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art．Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee，but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them moreFred Smith（New Zealand）-Age 1436．How many readers support the idea of free museums？A．2 B．3 C．4 D．537．Who suggests museums should regularly hold special events to collect money？A．Krista Chen．B．Fred Smith C．Rob Sanchez D．Li Mishao38．Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to high-achieving students？A．Students will then study harder．B．Museums will attract more visitors C．Museums can make themselves more famous D．These students can better appreciate museums 39．Which of the following does Amber White agree with？A．Businesses should offer museums more helpB．People should only pay what they can affordC．Free entry doesn't encourage visitors to museumsD．Everybody should have a chance to visit museums40．What can we know about the website？A．It's quite a new website B．It was started in AustraliaC．It's generally for young readers D．It mainly discusses scientific topics（D）While the start of a new school year is always exciting，this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School．They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher．This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom Instead，he is a computer-created head that appears，when needed，on students computer or phone screens．His name is Bill．Created by technology company Smart Machines，Bill is able to show human-like behavior．He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind．This program，started in 2005，used to be taught by human teachers．Just like human teachers，Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic．Thanks to computer cameras，he is also able to see and react to students physicalactions．For example，if a student smiles at Bill，he responds by smiling back．This two-way exchange helps get the students' attention．More importantly，it allows the program developers to improve Bills behavior and knowledge base when needed．The program has been a great success，according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says，"What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill．He really captures their attention．"Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones．It is doubtful，however，that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon．For one，his talking head's knowledge base is not large．More importantly，even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily．Bills future might be as a"personal tutor"，providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics．41．What is Bill？A．A human-like robot B．A kind of computer gameC．A computer recording tool D．A computer-created talking head42．How does the two-way exchange help the program developers？A．It lets them correct students'mistakes B．It allows Bill to respond more quicklyC．It helps them know how to improve Bill D．It helps them study students' body language 43．The underlined word "they"in Paragraph 4 refers to ．A．kids B．older people C．smart machines D．program developers44．What is Bill NOT good at doing？A．Attracting students' attention B．Understanding body languageC．Responding to students' questions D．Dealing with unexpected situations45．How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph？A．To work as human classroom teachersB．To encourage students' interest in computersC．To give students personal help with different subjectsD．To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.Smoke alarms（报警器）House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set by children．46 Kids must understand that they'd better not play with fire．You should keep matches and lighters out of their reach．47 The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you're asleep．You should have a smoke alarm outside each bedroom and on each floor of your home．You ought to have two plans for getting out of your house if there is a fire and practise these plans in the dark with your family．A smoke alarm warns you of the danger．48 Take action immediately．When you come to a closed door，check it with the back of your hand．If it feels hot，there may be smoke or fire behind the door，so take care．Once you are out of your house，call the fire department from a neighbor's house．If a family member or a pet is caught inside，you shouldn't go back in．Firemen know how to perform rescues safely49 Change the batteries at least once a year．You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working．A smoke alarm lasts about ten years．You

They were disputing which was the better animal.“Look at my strength,” said the elephant. “I can pull up a tree, roots and all with my trunk”“Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine,” replied the crocodile. “No knife or tooth can cut through it.”Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.“My dear friends !” said the King of all animals, going up to them. “Let me know the cause of your disagreement.”“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal?” cried both at once.“Certainly”,said the lion, pointing across the river. “Do you see the soldiers’ metal hat on that wall?”“Yes!” replied the beasts.“Well, then,” continued the lion, “ go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.”Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:“You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it, yo u were unable to get it back. And you,” said the lion to the crocodile, “although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it. You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other.”26. The underlined word "disputing" in Paragraph 1 means____.A. playingB. quarrellingC. complainingD. deciding27. What did the crocodile think was the best about himself?A. His big mouthB. His strong skinC. His swimming skillD. His dangerous teeth28. How did the lion deal with the animals’ disagreement?A. He ordered them to fight.B. He made a quick decision.C. He suggested a competitionD. He asked them to describe themselves29. What caused the elephant to drop the hat?A. The hat got wet in the river.B. He hit a floating treeC. He was trying to swim too fastD. He wanted to fight the crocodile30. How were the elephant and the crocodile able to complete their task?A. By working togetherB. planning carefullyC. By sharing their ideasD. By listening to the lionBThey sa y that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed impossible for his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the kno wledge he couldget from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost, however.

It mainly discusses scientific topicsDWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two-way exchange helps get the students' attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bills behavior and knowledge base when needed.The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention.” Frost thinks kids don't find theexperience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time ofcomputers and smart phones.It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one,his talking head'sknowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all theunexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill’s future might be as a “personal tutor”, providing kids withone-on-one help for different subjects and topics.41. What is Bill?A.A human-like robotB. A kind of computer gameC.

Understanding body language C. Responding to students' questions D. Dealing with unexpected situations45. How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph?A. To work as human classroom teachersB. To encourage students' interest in computersC. To give students personal help with different subjectsD. To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom第二节阅读填空阅读短文及文后A~E选项,选出可以填入46~50各题空白处的最佳选项。
