Here is a quick look at how some of our animal friends send messages to us and to each other.Dogs use sounds, body movements, and their tails to communicate. When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up and its eyes will be wide open. The dog will start barking, moving its tail, and running around in circles or jumping up and down to show you that it wants to play. A dog that is afraid will lie on its back and close its eyes. The dog may show its teeth and lower its body so that it is close to the ground. The dog may also shake, and it will put its tail between its legs. When a dog is angry, its main body language is showing its teeth and growling. The dog will try making itself look as big as possible. The tail will stand straight out from the body.Elephants also use noises and body language to express themselves. An elephant’s sense of smell is highly developed: An elephant can smell how another elephant is feeling and even tell if it is sick. The elephant’s nose, or trunk, is also used to make noises and to welcome other elephants. Different noises have a variety of meanings: they can mean “I am hungry”, “I am angry”, or “Good to see you!” An elephant’s body language includes ear signals and gestures. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch out!” To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks, stand close to each other and put their heads together.Dolphins are social animals. They live in groups and love showing each other their feelings. From time to time, an angry dolphin will hit its tail on the surface of the water. The movement and noise let other dolphins know that something is wrong. If a dolphin wants to send a message over a long distance, or if it wants to show how strong it is, it will jump high out of the water and land on its side, making a loud noise. A dolphin’s favourite activity is leaping into the air while playing with its friends. When dolphins are tired and need to rest, they will swim in small groups close to the surface. If you see dolphins doing this, keep in mind that you should not disturb them.Dreams may make you smart. This was discovered by scientists who do research on dreams.What is a dream 1.________(exact)? Scientists explain that during sleep time your brain reviews your experiences in the day. It tries to connect your new experiences with the old memories . As your brain connects things , it turns them 2._________ a story , and then you get a dream.Dreams may help you deal with 3._________(worry) and fears.

In fact , the songwriter spent a lot of time 10.__________(think) about the song before the dream.

The Indians went to America because the weather began to change. Northern Asia became very cold. Everything froze. They had to move or they would die. How did the first Indians go to America? They walked! Later Columbus found the New World in 1492. At first, only a few Europeans followed. They traveled to America in boats. For the next 300 years, about 500,000 people went there. Then the number grew very quickly. From 1815 to 1915, over 32,000,000 Europeans left their countries for the United States. The biggest groups went from Germany and Italy. These Europeans spoke many different languages. Most of them took almost no money. They went to America so they could find a better life.( )31. ________ went to America first.A.

The Europeans went to America in order to _________ .A. find the New worldB. find a better lifeC. build more boatsD. learn EnglishBToday’s WomenPeople like to say: “The hand that rocks (摇动) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” Or they say: “Behind every successful man, there is a woman.” Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want to be successful as men.Today the best jobs are still given to men. Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men. Some women want these things changed. They want to stand beside the men, with the same chances for success. Now many American women are earning money outside their homes. More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs. In general, working women have more education than those who stay at home.Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and most of them often spend their holidays away from home. They like traveling by air. Women’s work had made several changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives, too. But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries. In the Middle East countries, women have to stay at home. Their duty is to look after their families and do all the housework. They can’t find wo rk outside. When they go out in public, they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands. For the past few years the women’s life has been changing in those countries. Many women want to play an active role in the society (社会). Though working gives them few chances of getting married, many men still want to marry them in the old ways.( )36. More and more women want to get jobs because______________.A. they don’t want to stand behind their husbands in the streetB. they think they are more important than menC. they think they are as important as menD. housework troubles them too much( )37.

From this passage we know ___________ .A. women have the same rights as men todayB. women don’t want to work outside their homesC. more and more women want to play an active role in their countriesD. in the Middle East countries all the women stay at homeCChina’s first astronaut Yang Liwei walked out of the return capsule of the Shenzhou V spaceship , smiling and waving to the waiting people . Thursday morning in the grassland in Gobi Desert, Inner Mongolia, state television pictures showed. Yang has spent 21 hours in outer space, travelling more than 100,000 kilometers in the earth’s orbit before Shenzhou V brought him back at 6:07 a.m. Thursday morning Beijing time. Yang said he felt excellent after the 21-hour journey, the first by a Chinese. Chinese former Premier Wen Jiabao said in a congratulation message Thursday morning that China’s first manned spaceflight has been a “ complete success ”, which shall be written into the history of China’s space program development.After Yang went out of the capsule, doctors offered a physical check up to Yang at once, which found him in good conditions. At about 7:40 a. m., Yan was carried by a helicopter to Beijing, where a celebration party will be held. At 6:00 a.m. Thursday, the return sule of Shenzhou V entered China’s air space. Several minutes later, the capsule landed safely in Northwest China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Yang reported “The condition are good. ”Five rescue helicopters went very fast towards the capsule and found it at 6:36 a.m. They said Yang felt good and the condition with the capsule also seemed normal. At 6:51, Yang Liwei went out of the capsule on himself, waving and smiling to rescuers and reporters. Li Jinai, director of China’s space program, said that, the actual landing site is only 4.8 kilometers from the designed site, the condition of the return capsule are good and Yang could walk out of the capsule on himself . All these marked the complete success of the manned flight.( )40. When Yang Liwei stepped out of the capsule , he looked ___________ .A. tiredB. afraidC. all rightD. sad( )41. How long did Yang Liwei stay in the spaceship ?A. For two daysB. For a nightC. For more than a dayD. For twenty-one hours( )42.

He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class.After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits, h e didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got marks.It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back, Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “ Before my illness was diagnosed, I h ad been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do. ” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how bad their situation is, should lose hope. “ Life is not fair, ”he once said, “ You just have to do the best you can in your own situation. ”43.

Now, two American experts believe they have the answer. After studying dozens of babies as they played with different objects, the researchers noted that they were far more unwilling to touch plants than other things. They believe this is because evolution (生物进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Because of susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (内部保护机制) that limits a child’s contact with plants,they think. The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of touching plants and why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University. They wrote, “Throughout human evoluti o n…plants have been important in human’s life. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.”“Plants produce toxin (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also produce physical defences, such as thorns (荆棘) can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.”They added, “We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce dangers caused by plants.”To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were pretended to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.46. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. the parentsB. the researchersC. the babiesD. the plants47. What does the underlined word “wary” in t he first paragraph mean?A. curiousB. afraidC. tiredD. certain48. What did early humans probably do in order to keep away from ilLness or injury?A. They choose to make more man-made things.B. They didn’t allow their children to touch plants.C. They chose to have little contact with plants.D. They tried very hard to escape from the past.49. What was plants’ role in early human’s life?A. They were important, in spite of danger.B. They reacted badly to human evolution.C. They contributed to the most deaths and illness.D. They developed human physical defences against dangers.50. What’s the passage mainly about?A. Why some plants are harmful.B. How humans react to plants.C. Why children don’t like to eat greens.D. When children form behavioural strategies.BMoments before I could lift my case to put it in the plane’s overhead locker ahead of our recent holiday to Europe, my father gently urged me to stop. He held the thick handles of the case and lifted it with his thin arms, pushing it into place with a sigh. “You should relax and be the lady, and let me do the heavy tasks,” he said seriously. “In the future, someone special will come into your life and take over such tasks from me, but that will never happen if you do everything yourself.”I was stunned into silence. This was not the father I remembered from childhood, who trained me to study hard at school, asked me to earn my own pocket money as a teenager at a local coffee shop, and even taught me household chores so that my life alone i n London wouldn’t turn into a mess. But then, eight years after I left home and started a new life in the UK, I realized for the first time that my dad still has expectations for me to be like a princess and to stay dependent and delicate, which were considered necessary qualities of women in traditional China.Well, that came a little late. Little did dad know that over the three years of my university life, I moved flats five times all by myself, dragging suitcases of books and clothes, and waiting for the taxi in the rain while holding tight onto cardboard boxes. Meanwhile, living in the UK a country currently led by a female prime minister I have never thought there is anything girls cannot do. Most of my female friends are professionals working in the City of London, and after work, we frequently go down to the pub for a drink, just like the guys do something my mother never did.I wondered how I might make dad understand the new world his little girl has entered. Perhaps one day, he will realize that “someone special” in my life will appreciate my confidence and independence above dependence, and admit that times have changed.51. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. annoyed.B. embarrassed.C. surprised.D. excited.52. W hat qualities of women did traditional Chinese appreciate according to Paragraph 2?A. Dependent and gentle.B. Hardworking and tough.C. Beautiful and confident.D. Independent and ambitious.53. What’s the author’s purpose by mentioning her stay in London?A. To complain how strict her father was.B. To describe how hard her life in the UK was.C. To regret not working hard enough at school.D. To show she was used to living independently.54. What can we infer about the author according to the last paragraph?A. She has a misunderstanding of her father.B. She thinks women should be independent.C. She longs to meet her life partner in the UK:D. She is thankful for her father’s strict training.CWhen Liberia was my home, they called it sweet. Sweet was the word I remembered most during the war. When I was five, my father, two sisters and I fled from Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia, and headed north on foot among panicked masses of criers a journey that ended in a village where we hid from flying bullets (子弹). Every dawn, my sisters and I joined my father and covered the pages of his small journal with words. My favorite word to write was“‘sweet,” one that had the power to numb the reality of our 6-month abandonment (抛弃) by peace and civilization.Eventually, we were considered the lucky ones: part of the wave of refugees who left Liberia in 1990 to settle in America. My mother studied at Columbia University at the time, and we made our new home in her dormitory while awaiting her graduation. My father who left early in the mornings looked for work or news of a possible return to Liberia, only to return home with nothing to give us but new words to write in notebooks. He quickly found that the education he received in Liberia was not good enough for an engineering job in the United States. So he took whatever job he could find to make sure we always had food on the table and books.In 2011, I founded a children’s book publishing company: One More Book. It provides children’s literature for the children of countries with low literacy (识字) rates and underrepresented cultures by publishing culturally relevant books that have something meaningful to say to them. My hope is to give children the peace I was given through the words of my father, by allowing them to see themselves in literature. I also think it is important to provide books about foreign countries to children in the United States, to increase the overall awareness of the world outside them.I will never be able to give my father back the twenty years he spent working to educate us, or the home and life in Liberia he lost. I repay his sacrifice (牺牲) by honoring the education he fought for and offering my art to the world, with stories that make the histories of my people come alive, and with words to live by.55. What was the author’s family’s life like in Liberia?A. Sweet and peaceful.B Frightening but positive.C. Comfortable but boring.D. Adventurous and exciting.56. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about the aut hor’s father?A. He was crazy about reading.B. He regretted moving to America.C. He worked bard to support his family.D.
