Einstein was the greatest scientist of his age. But he was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity. Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had been given too much change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it back to Einstein, saying “The trouble with you is you don’t know your figures.” He had nothing and thought little of the things most people set their hearts on— fame and money. He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He led a very simple sort of life, went around in old clothes that needed pressing, seldom wore a hat, He shaved （刮胡子）with the same soap that he used for his bath. The man who was trying to solve the most difficult problems of the universe said that using two kinds of soap made his life completely too complicated（复杂的）. 1.From the second paragraph we know Einstein _____. A. wasn’t good at maths B. enjoyed playing jokes C. had some trouble with figures D. didn’t care about money at all 2.Einstein was most interested in ______ in life. A. sailing his boat B. fame and money C. playing the violin D. work 3.“…using two kinds of soap made his life completely too complicated” in the last paragraph suggests that Einstein ______. A. preferred to live a simple life B. was a man of humor C. was too poor to buy more soaps D. liked to do something different

I bent down in the shade under a sixty-foot-tall cactus（仙人掌）, waiting for them to appear. The time was eight thirty in the morning. For seven mornings I had come to the same distant spot in the Sonoran Desert, in southern Arizona. I was here to watch the roadrunner, a small fast-running bird. I spotted two birds under a bush with red flowers. The roadrunners rushed out from under it. The birds moved rapidly on long skinny legs. Their feathers were brown and black. Their tails were seven inches long. Roadrunners use the tail for balance when running. That day, the roadrunners performed a courtship（求婚）dance. They ran in wild circles. Suddenly, one stopped and stood still, its round eyes full of light. The second bird took hold of a small stick off the ground and presented it to the first, a gift serving as a symbol of their partnership. I returned to the spot each day, leaving bits of boiled chicken hoping they would return. Roadrunners eat snakes, lizards, mice, beetles, and spiders. Food is in short supply in the desert, so my offerings were welcome. The pair grew used to me. Soon after the pair finished building their nest six white eggs appeared in the nest bowl. In about three weeks, six roadrunner chicks, skin as black as coal, cried for food. Their parents brought food such as fence lizards and stink bugs. They fed their young until they were a month and a half old. Early one morning, a coyote（丛林狼）came around, nose to the ground, for fresh bird meat. The roadrunners fearlessly drove the coyote away, but it was soon back. After three attacks the coyote went away for good, tail between its legs. I stopped watching the nest when the little roadrunners, at two months of age, were ready to live on their own. It was hard to break away from “my roadrunner family.” Whenever I see a roadrunner now, rushing over the ground, I say hello to it as an old friend. 1.The author went to the Sonoran Desert to . A. go on a tour of the desert B. carry out research into some animals in the desert C. make an observation about a kind of bird D. enjoy an adventure in southern Arizona 2.What can we learn about roadrunners from the text? A. They have short tails and legs. B. They move at a fast pace. C. Their feathers are red and brown. D. They don’t like boiled chicken. 3.We can learn from the last but one paragraph that the roadrunners were . A. brave B. clever C. easily-frightened D. lazy 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. How do roadrunners seek a partner? B. My close friendship with roadrunners. C. Roadrunner family in the Sonoran Desert. D. How did I find roadrunners in Arizona?

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute（分发）his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales（童话）. The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous（匿名）envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church. The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of €500 inside, with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined. “I was driving when I heard the news,” Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.” The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for. “For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing,” Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy. Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said: “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations. 1.The Braunschweiger Zeitung is name of _____. A. a church B. a bank C. a magazine D. a newspaper 2.Which of the following is TURE about the donation to Tom? A. The donation amounted to €190,000. B. The donation was sent directly to his house. C. His mother felt greatly surprised at the donation. D. All the money will be used for his treatment. 3.It can be inferred from the passage that . A. the donation will continue to come B. the donator is a rich old man C. the donation comes from the newspaper D. the donator will soon be found out 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper. B. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes. C. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy. D. Robin Hood Returns to the city.

At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it. “You may wonder, Sir Percival,” said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released（免除）from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father’s wishes too much.” His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet. “No, if we are going to withdraw（退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ” “Mine?” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?” “A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. “There is a change in me.” His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side. “What change?” he asked, trying to appear calm. “When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?” “I wish you to understand”, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.” “I will do both those things,” he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more. “I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,” she added quietly. “No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,” he said. 1.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura? A. Angry. B. Calm. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 2.We can learn from the passage that ______. A. Laura’s father wished to end her marriage B. Laura had once promised to marry Percival C.

Laura was married to another man. C. Percival was married to another woman. D. Both Percival and Laura remained single for the rest of their lives.

If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It’s not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage（报导）of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因）engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted（传送） electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 1.What is the best title for the passage? A. The Best Way to Get News. B. The Changes of Media. C. Make Your Own Newspaper. D. The Future of Newspaper. 2.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______. A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer C. newspapers will cover more scientific researches D. more and more people will prefer watching TV to reading newspapers 3.From the passage, we can infer _______. A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media C. television will take the place of newspaper in the future D. the writer believes some media will die out 4.The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ______. A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill off
