If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country. One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”. Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America. An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice. In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples. Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.
1. What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean? A. Something for cutting apples. B. A person who likes to please others. C. A person who is dealing with fruits. D. A machine for cleaning apples quickly. 2. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________. A. cooking B. medicine C. shopping D. health 3. Which of the following is TRUE with apples? A. Apples are medicine. B. Apples are the most important food. C. New York is famous for its big apples. D. The Bible says Adam was given an apple. 4. The passage is mainly about___________. A. stories about the apple B. apples in American culture C. some famous sayings of the apple D. big cities that is famous for apples

Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don’t want or need to learn too much. The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don’t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (马拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning. Let’s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, you will probably fail and give up in half-way. It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time. The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn’t the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very meaningful and enjoyable activity. 1. In the writer’s opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _______. A. they are especially talented people B. they don’t want or need to learn too much C. they have to spend a lot of time on it D. they have a chance to go abroad 2. The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _______. A. forget your own goal B. become a talented language learner C. get tired of learning it D. reach your learning goal 3. The best title of this passage would be _______. A. Easy Language Learning B. Hard Language Learning C. Fluency in a Foreign Language D. A way of Language Learning

The webs that spiders(蜘蛛) build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms. In each spider web, some threads are sticky(粘的), but some are not. When a spider is moving on the web, it will not step on the sticky threads. After a time the silk will lose its stickiness and become unable to catch insects. Then, spiders usually eat their own web. Now a team of scientists has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a web’s success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, say scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to become softer or harder. So it can hold different types of heavy things. In tests, scientists used three other strong materials(材料) made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didn’t become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10 percent stronger. The spider web’s clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings could help design safer buildings and even a new type of strong material. “It’s a really good chance,” said Markus Buehler, a professor at MIT. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.”
1.According to the passage, the spider web is strong because . a. the spider’s thread is sticky b. the thread has a lot of strength c. the web has a clever design d. the web can keep the strength forever A. ab B. ac C. bc D. bd 2.In paragraph 4, the scientists’ tests show that . A. the spider’s thread is stronger than the other three materials B. the spider’s thread is the strongest material in the world C. the spider’s thread can be as soft or hard as it needs to be D. taking away some spider thread makes the web weaker 3.From the last paragraph, we learn that . A. people can use spider webs to build houses B. the findings give people new ideas for buildings C. there are many reasons why the spider web is so strong D. Professor Buehler will make a new type of material 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.How spiders catch insects B. How spiders design webs C. Spiders are clever designers D. Webs are stronger than steel
