Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: he knew everything. This was our relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers. Is there really a man in the moon? How do sailboats work? In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to survive in the real world. How to check your car. The correct knife to bring along. When I moved out, I called him at least once a week, usually when something broke in my apartment. After I got married, I needed him less because I had my husband and Google. When I called our conversations changed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad.” Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” (Because I still needed her - How do I cook chicken? Do I need to call the doctor for my daughter’s fever?) I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know. Maybe I’d heard all his stories. Maybe, after knowing a man for 30 years, there’s nothing left to say. Then, this past summer, my husband and I moved in with my parents for three weeks while our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him repair the walls. I didn’t balk— it was the least I could do for free rent(房租) — but I felt anxious. It was difficult. We got wet and sandy. But as we rebuilt the walls, my dad knowing exactly what went ______. I looked at him, “How do you know how to build walls?” “I spent a summer in college building them.” “You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad, but I never knew this. “Yep. Now let me teach you how to use this saw(锯子).” As he explained the skills, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions. A few weeks later, after my family moved back into our own house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Here’s Mom.” “Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you?” We ended up talking about work he was doing. Nothing life-changing. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was a new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to. 1.It is unlikely that the author’s dad tried to teach her _______ when she was a teenager. A.to swim in a river B.to make a fire safely C.to climb mountains D.to solve a difficult math problem 2.What does the sentence “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” mean in paragraph 2? A.The father sounded like the mother to make fun. B.The author did not want to speak to her parents. C.The father then gave the phone to the mother. D.The father brought up the author by himself. 3.The underlined word “balk” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A.shout B.refuse C.smile D.talk 4.Which should we fill in the blank in paragraph 3? A.around B.by C.crazy D.where 5.The author wants to talk to her father now because _______. A.there is still a lot left to say B.the author has to survive C.the father asks her to do that D.the mother asks her to do that

First introduced in 1927, The Hardy Boys Stories are a series (系列) of books about the stories of brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, teenaged detectives who solve one mystery (神秘) after another. The cover of The Hardy Boys says that the author of the series is Franklin. Over the years, though, many fans of the books have been surprised to find out that Franklin is not a real person. If Franklin never existed, then who wrote The Hardy Boys Stories? The Hardy Boys are written through a process called ghostwriting (鬼手写作). A ghostwriter writes a book according to a fixed formula (公式). Although ghostwriters are paid for writing the books, their names do not appear on the published books. Ghostwriters can write books for children or adults, the content of which is various. The idea for The Hardy Boys series was developed by a publisher named Stratemeyer. He noticed the increasing popularity of mysteries among adults, and thought that children would enjoy reading mysteries about younger detectives of their age. He first developed each book with an outline (提纲). Once having completed the outline, he then hired a ghostwriter to turn it into a book of over 200 pages. After finishing a draft (草稿) of a book, he or she would send it back to Stratemeyer, who would make a list of corrections and mail it back to the ghostwriter. The ghostwriter would improve the book according to Stratemeyer’s suggestions and then return it to him. Once Stratemeyer approved the book, it was ready to be published. The Hardy Boys had a number of different ghostwriters producing books. However, the first ghostwriter, Leslie, proved to be the most influential. Although he was using prepared outlines as guides, Leslie developed the characters through his imagination. He was also responsible for the details in the story. For example, Leslie created Bayport, the Hardy Boys’ hometown, based on where he grew up. Although The Hardy Boys were very popular with children, not everyone approved of them. Critics thought their stories were not real, since most teenagers did not have the same experience as Frank and Joe Hardy. Besides, many teachers and librarians are against the ghostwriting process, saying it was designed to produce books quickly, but not to create quality literature. Some libraries even refuse to include the books in their children’s collections. 1.Which of the following people was a real ghostwriter? A.Franklin B.Stratemeyer C.Leslie D.Joe Hardy 2.A ghostwriter is someone who _______. A.only writes loving stories for adults B.doesn’t receive praise as the author C.writes the content of his books freely D.doesn’t receive money for writing 3.According to the passage, it can be inferred that Leslie _______. A.hated writing according to a fixed formula B.didn’t respect the art of ghostwriting C.was unsuccessful in his writing career D.was a man of imagination and creativity 4.Some teachers and librarians dislike ghostwritten books because they _______. A.believe the books were poor in quality B.consider mystery stories bad for adults C.think the books were too expensive D.believe Stratemeyer cheated readers 5.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A.Ghostwriting: Create Quality Literature B.Who Was Leslie? C.The Hardy Boys: Ghostwriting a Series D.Why Were The Hardy Boys Published?

In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts. Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise. To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity. So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day. Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives. But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study. What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. ''But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.'' Dr. Lark says. Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight. Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more. 1.What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment? A.How they moved. B.How long they ran. C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time. 2.What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph? A.They didn't like to run the wheels. B.They ate more after running the wheels. C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels. 3.The underlined word ''arduous'' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______. A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different 4.Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with? A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does. B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight. C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans. D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less. 5.The purpose of writing this passage is _______. A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers
