Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures—those who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans(海洋). Now, however, there are more people who look for an excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would think bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles(脚踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other  risky activities include jumping from tall buildings and diving(跳水) into the water from the top of high places.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern world has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.

Nowadays, to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

1. More and more people today __________.

A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping

B. are climbing the highest mountains

C. are coming close to death in sports

D. are looking for adventures such as travelling into exciting parts of the world

2.In bungee jumping, you __________.

A. jump as high as you can

B. slide down(下滑) a rope to the ground

C. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the ground

D. fall towards the ground without a rope

3. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because __________.

A. they have a lot of free time

B. they can go to hospital if they are injured

C. there isn’t so much excitement in life

D. they no longer need to hunt for food

4. What is the best title of this passage?

A. Modern Life is Boring

B. Dangerous Sports: What and Why

C. Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous?

D. Need for Excitement

If parents’ aim(目标) is only to make a child be a genius(天才), they will cause a disaster. Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.

However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully—especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians(音乐家), they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint(使…失望) his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

1.One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to __________.

A. pay much attention to their child’s education

B. push the child into trying to achieve too much

C. make their child become a musician

D. help their child to succeed in the future

2. Michael Li is lucky because __________.

A. his father knows music and teaches him much

B. his parents are rich enough to support him

C. his mother doesn’t know much about music

D. his parents help him in a wise way

3.The two examples show that __________.

A. it is important to let children develop in their own way

B. it is successful to let children develop without others’ help

C. successful parents often have unsuccessful children

D. the more you help your children, the less they can achieve

Dear Grandma,

How are you? I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your neighbour, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so. You’d love our school library, Grandma. There are so many books on all kinds of subjects. The other day I found a book about engineering. I couldn’t really understand it but I hope to learn more about this topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I think I’ll tell you about them.

I study biology. It is a very interesting subject. I’m learning all about the human body, where everything is and what it does. Did you know that we have a kissing muscle? It’s called ‘orbicularis’ and it’s a circle muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It’s so interesting! Another new subject is religion (宗教). I didn’t think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to hear how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the world, not only Asia. My other new subject is Spanish. It’s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful for me in the future, if I want to travel around the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I’ve learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish it would be really useful.

Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn’t it? I’ll come to visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks’ time. I’ll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.

Lots of love,

Sara

C. orbicularis      D. circles

3.Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?

A. Sara knows little about engineering.

B. Sara thinks Spanish is useful but not easy to learn.

C. Grandma probably doesn’t like reading books very much.

D. The subjects Sara learns are different from the ones her grandma did.

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.

What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic (现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.

According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there are no possibility for students to achieve. Three students would like to be able to fly.

It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams, one day they may just be realized.

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals(个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.

Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.

Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.

Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.

Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.

Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination(终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change…you will change, you will succeed.

1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?

A. Working hard.      B. Good education.

C. Strong desire.   D. Enjoying failure.

2.What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?

A. It’s not easy for people to develop their health.

B. You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.

C. Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.

D. Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.

3.What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success.

B. Many hands make light work.

C. Every dog has its day.

D. Actions speak louder than words.

4.Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?

A. If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.

B. If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.

C. Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.

D. Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.

5.The best title of the passage might be_______________.

A. The Importance of Success

B.  The Meaning of Success

C. Success or Failure

D. The Five Main Steps to Success

My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.

We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.

It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.

We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.

I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. The writer showed great interest in visiting Ireland at first.

B. It was the first time for the writer to visit Ireland.

C. The writer went to Ireland with his uncle.

D. The car was driven by the writer’s uncle.

2.Which of the following could best show that the writer was really interested in Kilkenny?

A. There were so many strangers there to meet.

B. There were so many beautiful pictures there to take.

C. We thought we might be bored in Kilkenny.

D. We loved every minute we were there.

3. What can we know from the third paragraph?

A. The Titanic was filmed in Cobh.

B. The food in Cobh was delicious.

C. The writer knew nothing about Brave Heart.

D. The writer visited the Trim Castle alone.

4. What does the underlined word “adequately” in the last paragraph mean?

A. properly    B. strongly

C. warmly       D. surprisingly

5.Where does the article most probably come from?

A. A scientific fiction.  B. A tourist magazine.

C. A poem.                D. A poster.

Dear Mom,

Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me. After Dad died of a heart attack at home ten years ago in a road accident, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember your coming home and feeling tired many evenings.

Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I’m glad you won’t live by yourself any more. Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future. It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.

Happy Mother’s Day. I love you, Mom.

Best wishes,

David
