In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(传言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(辐射)；second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didn’t really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.On March 20, the government said the salt market is back to normal. And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their moneyback,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything youhear.1．The recent craze of salt buying in China happened because of ________.A．the earthquakeB．the rumorsC．the shortage(缺乏) of salt2．When did the rumors start?A．On March 11.B．After March 11.C．On March 20.3．According to the passage most of China’s salt is from ________.A．lakes B．the ocean C．rivers4．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．People believed what the government and experts said first.B．People could return the salt and got back their money later.C．Salt almost sold out in only one night because of the rumors.5．The passage tells us that ________.A．we can’t believe everything we hearB．there must be a nuclear leak after an earthquakeC．only iodized salt can keep us from the dangers of radiationB14、Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize（交往）with, and was used to people from the moment he was born.However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home,Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house,he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new born cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see,.He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each otheraround and wrestle（摔跤）.They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kitte ns in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity.

They were good friends, but both of them were very proud. The elephant thought of himself strong, and the monkey felt himself quick.One day they went to ask the old bird, “Can you tell us which one of us is more important?” The old bird didn't give them the answer at once. However, he asked them to get some bananas on the other side of the river and bring them to him.So the elephant and the monkey went to the river, but the water ran so fast that the monkey was afraid.“Get on my back, Monkey,” said the elephant, “I shall take you there. I'm big and strong, and I can swim across the river.”Soon they got to the othe r side. The elephant tried to reach the bananas, but they were too high. “Wait a minute, please.I can climb,” said the monkey. He quickly ran up the tree and gave the bananas to the elephant.Then they came back happily to the old bird and showed him the bananas. “Now, you see, the elephant is strong,” said the old bird with a smile, “but he couldn't get the bananas; the monkey is quick, but he couldn't, either.

In the background, a young girl reads arejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. You have the wrong body for ballet, 'it says,' and at thirteen, you are too old. This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theatre's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career (职业) really is just now beginning.'1．How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?A．13B．14C．25D．332．Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?A．Because her family moved a lot.B．Because she was not a good dancer.C．Because she had no invitation letter.D．Because she had the wrong body type.3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.B．Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.C．Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.D．Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.4．What's the writer’s opinion of Copela nd?A．Copeland sets an example who never gives up.B．Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.C．Copeland has made her achievements by accident.D．Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.E17、Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach the place that we are going to. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye. They would have to sleep for years.European researchers are now doing hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets. “If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-spa ce travel come true,” said Mark Ayer of the European Space Agency last month.What seems like science fiction is not completely impossible. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don’t age. They h ave now moved on to small, non-hibernating mammals like rats. The results will be out soon.A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, but body organs are far more complex（复杂的).“It's like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer,” said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia.Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system.There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective place to live. Such a place would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.According to Ayer, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six humans on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.根据材料内容选择最佳答案, 将其标号填入题前括号内。
