Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people in China. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting（开发） fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved. 1.The major things that the sea offers man are ______. A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil C. warm temperature and ocean currents D. the food, energy sources, and minerals 2.We can conclude from this passage that ______. A. the sea resources have largely been used up B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed C. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved. D. by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources 3.The underlined words “Oriental people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.
C. European people D. American people 4.The best title for this passage is ______. A. Sea Harvest B. Sea Food C. Technology for Exploiting the Sea D. Man and the Sea

Hi! Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble — and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉). ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away. Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair. There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true. A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more." Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed! Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind. 1.According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ________. A. in existence B. imaginative C. not real D. impossible 2.ESP lets people know _________. A. about events before they happen B. about events after they happen C. about events that are happening some distance away D. A and C 3.By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________. A. learn how people tell lies B. know more about human dreams C. know more about human mind D. learn how strange things happen 4.In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means _______. A. things that may not happen B. things that happen in a dream C. things that must happen D. things that happen by accident

Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict. Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents. Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艰难的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices. Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life. 1.According to the passage, shopping addicts ______. A. are always rich people B. get well along with friends C. may suffer financial difficulties D. all the above 2. The third paragraph mainly tells about ______. A. ways to get rid of shopping addiction B. the signs of shopping addicts C. the danger of shopping addiction D. why shopping addicts can’t stop shopping 3. The underlined word “trauma” probably means “______”. A.hurt B. satisfaction C. enjoyment D. appreciation

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic(学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job. However, in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs. Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance(保险) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center. The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines(下降) in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy. In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time. 1.The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____. A. skills B. interests C. chances D. ideas 2.Which of the following majors has the best job offers? A. teaching B. accounting C. political science D. computer science 3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________. A. the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree B. most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs C. having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling D. a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job 4. The main idea of the passage is that _________. A. a lot of graduates are losing their jobs B. Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job C. salaries in some fields have increased in the past year D. the job market has changed greatly over the past four years
