People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible (有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. 1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? A. Parents bring up children. B. Parents give love and care to children. C. Parents educate children to be good persons. D. Parents pass away before children grow up. 2.What do you think “florists” do? A. They sell flowers. B. They make and sell bread. C. They offer enough room for having family parties. D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. 3.What do you know from the passage? A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May. B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past. C. Not all the children respect their parents D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home. 4.On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ________. A. people usually have family parties B. everyone goes to visit the cemetery. C. children always go to parents’ home D. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts
What do you think of cats? Some people think very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs, cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides, cats are not known for acts of selflessness (无私). But maybe we’re wrong about them. Don’t believe it? Then meet Pippa, a very unusual cat. The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable, Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it，but they never guessed she’d become a lifesaver. Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day, as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death. Soon after she was adopted, Pippa went into Mia’s bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels, she found they were dangerously low. Ever since, Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can’t get her to wake up, she raises the alarm. “Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia’s mother Laura. “We don’t make a request for caring because we don’t want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia.” Now the family is so happy that they’ve chosen to adopt it in the first place. 1.Why did the family decide to adopt the cat? A. Because they considered it as a lifesaver. B. Because her character interested them. C. Because they really loved her looks. D. Because Mia Jansa needed help. 2.What problem did Mia Jansa face? A. She was bad at testing her blood. B. She might suffer death in the daytime. C. She might be in danger while asleep at night. D. She couldn’t let her blood sugar levels return to normal. 3.For what does Pippa visit Mia at night? A. To see if her blood sugar levels are normal. B. To make her laugh when she’s lonely. C. To make sure that she is safe. D. To play with the alarm. 4.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Pippa does that according to her own habits. B. Pippa does that without being asked. C. Pippa does that for her own good. D. Pippa does that without a purpose.

I’ve seen a couple of the other Fast Furious films but this one is definitely best. Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel), Brian O’ Conner (Paul Walker) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) are planning to steal $100 million from businessman Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida). At the same time, agent (联邦特工) Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is chasing after them. The story’s pretty fast-moving and the car chase at the end is amazing. —Derek Well, if I’d known it was an action film, I wouldn’t have gone to see it. I mean, I can’t stand action films. And I’ll tell you another thing – I can’t stand Vin Diesel. I mean he can’t act to save his life. The film would have been much better with someone like Mau Damon or George Clooney. The only good thing about it was the soundtrack (电影配乐) which was pretty good. And I won’t be going to see any other Fast & Furious movies either! —Zoe Well it started off all right, but the romance between Mia and Brian was a bit inadequate (不足的) and the whole thing lost its way. It was as if the director couldn’t decide whether he was making a thriller, an action movie or a romantic comedy (喜剧), so he ended up making none of them. —Mario It was amazing! I can’t believe it was really over two hours long. It just flashed by. The direction was superb； Justin did a really good job. And the acting was great. I know Vin Diesel isn’t going to win an Oscar or anything like that but he’s good at what he does. And the plot! I laughed out loud quite a few times. The funny thing is, I would not have bothered seeing it if my friend hadn’t suggested going. —Megan 1.What does Mario think of the Fast & Furious movie? A. It is pretty good. B. It is really thrilling. C. It is disappointing. D. It is violent. 2.Megan went to see the Fast & Furious movie because ________.

A film poster. B. A film review. C. A newspaper advertisement. D. A research paper.

As warming continues, scientists warn the oxygen content of oceans across the planet could be more and more reduced, with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life. 1.One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer, it can hold less dissolved (溶解的) oxygen. The other reason is less obvious. The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface — either from the atmosphere, or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 2. Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter. That’s because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化) of glaciers, icebergs, and ice sheets. 3.The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 4.Instead, more of the oxygen will remain near the surface, where it will be used up by oxygen-breathing organisms. A low-oxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet. A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100. They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall, until they declined by 30 percent. The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans, but even 100,000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 5. A. It’s not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced. B. Scientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen. C. Fresh water’s inpouring will make the water at the ocean’s surface lighter. D. The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks. E. Global warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide. F. The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen. G. If they are right, we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life.
Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains. His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing. "It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain." In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs washookedright away. Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done. The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it," said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down." What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure. 1.What record has Ed Viesturs set? A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain. B. He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains. C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet. D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world. 2.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”. A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset 3.The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ______. A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy D. those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing 4.What’s the next probably plan of Viestures? A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family. B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again. C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains. D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.” The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret. Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tat- chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week. 1.What is the main idea of this passage? A. How exercise makes people strong. B. How to get good scores in a test. C. How exercise helps the brain develop. D. How the brain can change one’s memory. 2.According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development? A. Exercise helps soften our blood vessels. B. Physical exercise helps us think better. C. The brain needs special mental exercise. D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain. 3.For ordinary people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is ______. A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month 4.Why is yoga suggested for seniors? A. It does good to the joints of old people. B. It does not increase the heart rate. C. It includes learning new actions. D. It can be done in groups.
Many people are not aware the most healing herbs make up today’s modern medicine. The healing herbs from ancient days are still the healing herbs of modern times. Throughout all of these years herbs have remained unchanged; their quality remain as strong as ancient man and animals found it to be thousands of years ago. What has changed is the way man uses these healing herbs together with modern medicine of today. Ancient man knew about the many benefits of healing herbs and passed on their knowledge form generation to generation. Today modern man continues to benefit from the wisdom ages ago. Actually, herbs can be any plant, flower, tree or shrub(灌木) that heals the body. According to early writings, man first noticed that when an animal was ill it would bite into specific plants, otherwise the animal will leave them alone. Observing animal behaviors is still done today. Ten years ago, researchers at the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, noticed chimpanzees(黑猩猩) that were ill were eating Aspirin leaves. Researchers found that Aspirin leaves contained a kind of antibiotic(抗生素). These chimpanzees no doubt knew this plant would help heal their disease. Most plant life has a pleasant smell. The writings of ancient man note that people rubbed these sweet plants on their bodies to keep insects away. Some herbs mask the smell of smelly meat. The Egyptians used a variety of herbs to preserve their dead. In conclusion, ancient herbs had a variety of purposes, and for thousands of years were used for the preservation of our foods, and to heal our bodies. Herbs can continue to play an important part in our lives if we open our minds to their importance and usefulness. In my opinion, it is always better to treat naturally with herbs, than to treat illnesses with man-made medicines. There are few if any side effects to taking herbs. 1.The example of chimpanzees is used to suggest ________. A. chimpanzees are clever animals B. man began studying herbs long ago C. Aspirin leave can cure many diseases D. animals helped man discover healing herbs 2.According to the text, the Egyptians used herbs ________. A. to keep off insects B. at the burial service C. to feed their animals D. for the preservation of foods. 3.Which of the following about healing herbs isn’t introduced in the text? A. How people knew about healing herbs. B. The benefits of healing herbs. C. Side effect of healing herbs. D. How ancient people use healing herbs in life. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards healing herbs? A. He thinks highly of them. B. He refuses to accept them. C. He thinks they’re ineffective. D.
