It is also one of rarest. Today only about 1,000 are left, some of them are in the Hunchun Nature Reserve. The Chinese government has created the reserve to help saving the tiger’s natural habitat. But the Siberian tiger is the only endangered species. Other famous animal in a danger is the giant panda, whose habitat is in China. The panda was the symbol of the World Wide Fund for Nature. Thanks of scientists’ hard work, the number of the pandas lived in the wild has increased to about 1590.
[1] Safety in the highway is not totally out of hand. Here are four ways you can protect yourselves when you travel. [2] You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason for the safety problem. [3] Being thrown into glass and metal parts of a car — or being thrown from the car — can really damage you. That’s why safety belts should be worn. The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull you back. If your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object or if it rolls over, a belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%. [4] _______________________. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes — the type of crash that kills the most drivers, though they are also wearing safety belts. Most people demand air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes; effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts. [5] Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people have realized that mixing drinking and driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are measures to strengthen penalties (处罚) for drinking and driving. 1.What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 2.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? Air bags can not do much protection in side or rear crashes; although they are effective, you can’t replace safety belts with air bags. _____________________________________________________________________________ 3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 4.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? (no more than 2 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 5.Which of the suggestions do you think is the best for you? And why? (no more than 30 words) _____________________________________________________________________________
补全对话（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分） Brad: I went to Adele’s open-air concert yesterday. She is really a great singer. John: You must have been so excited at the concert. Brad: 1 John: Why was that? Brad: The concert was very crowded. We all stood because there were no seats. John: 2 Brad: Unfortunately, right beside my left and my right were two “large” people. I am short and skinny and I was like the meat in between two pieces of bread! Just like a hamburger! John: Poor guy. 3 Brad: Actually, I did. They were shouting and screaming crazily while I was firmly stuck between them, with my feet off the ground! My shoulders were hurt! John: 4 Brad: It’s all right.

Six Chinese surveillance ships have entered waters near islands claimed by both China and Japan. China said the ships were carrying out "law enforcement" to demonstrate its jurisdiction(管辖权) over the islands, known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan. At least two of the vessels left after the Japanese coast guard issued a warning, Japanese officials say. The move came after Japan sealed a deal to buy three of the islands from their private Japanese owner. Japan controls the uninhabited but resource-rich East China Sea islands, which are also claimed by Taiwan. The Japanese Coast Guard said the first two Chinese boats entered Japan's territorial waters at 06:18 local time (21:18 GMT Thursday), followed by another fleet of four other ships just after 07:00. The first two ships then left the area. A third ship left later on Friday morning, one report said. No force was used, Japanese officials added. "Our patrol vessels are currently telling them to leave our country's territorial waters," the coastguard said in a statement. The Chinese foreign ministry confirmed that its ships were there. “These law enforcement and patrol activities are aimed to demonstrate China's jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated(附属的) islets and ensure the country's maritime(海事的) interests,” a statement said. The US has called for ''cooler heads to prevail'' as tension intensifies between China and Japan over the islands, which lie south of Okinawa and north of Taiwan. US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is due to visit both Japan and China from this weekend as part of a tour of the region that also includes New Zealand. The dispute has seriously marred diplomatic relations between China and Japan and threatens to damage the strong trading relationship, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Beijing. The row(争端) has also generated strong nationalist sentiment on both sides that observers say now makes it very difficult to be seen to be backing down, says our correspondent. The Japanese government says it is buying the islands to promote their stable and peaceful management. Its move followed a bid by right-wing Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara to buy the islands using public donations - an action that would likely have further provoked(触怒) China. China, on the other hand, says the islands have historically been its territory and fishing grounds. Meanwhile Japan's newly-appointed ambassador to China, Shinichi Nishimiya, remains in hospital in Tokyo after he was found unconscious near his home in Tokyo on Thursday. No details have been given on his condition. He was appointed on Tuesday to replace Uichiro Niwa, who has been criticised for his handling of one of the worse diplomatic rows between Japan and China in recent years. 1.The Diaoyu Islands are actually inhabited by . A．Japan B．China C．America D．Nobody 2.Which of the following is true? A．Japan fired at the 6 Chinese ships to warn them to leave the waters. B．China admitted that the 6 ships had been forced to leave the waters. C．The US called on both sides to calm down. D．Shinichi Nishimiya was unconscious in the hospital because somebody attacked him. 3.Why was Uichiro Niwa replaced? A．He is not iron enough in handling the diplomatic rows between Japan and China. B．His health condition is not good enough to work there. C．He didn’t do a good job in dealing with the dispute about the Diaoyu Islands. D．He criticized the Chinese government publicly in an improper way. 4.This news report is most likely to be selected from the newspaper. A．British B．Chinese C．Japanese D．American
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless. 1.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they __________. A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristics B．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people C．are often influenced by previous generations D．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans 2. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _______. A．they have a vision from the mountaintop B．they have warm feelings and emotions C．they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles D．they can make people feel stronger and more confident 3.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because __________. A．they are popular only among certain groups of people B．their performances do not improve their fans morally C．their primary concern is their own financial interests D．they are not clear about the principles they should follow 4.The author concludes that historical changes would __________. A．be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities B．not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices C．take place if there were heroes to lead the people D．produce leaders with attractive personalities
Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College, Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before． College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted. It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind. Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful. But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line. I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls. I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett. The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night. Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home. Yours most respectfully, Jerusha Abbott to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith 1.Jerusha felt “confused” because ______. A．she had never written to the trustee before B．she was not familiar with the college yet C．she could never find the way to her home D．she had never traveled on a train berore 2.Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because _______． A．he was a total stranger to her B．she was sure it was a false identity C．the name was too common D．nobody would like to be called that name 3.The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel______. A．busy B．restricted by rules C．pressed for time D．full of energy 4.Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs______. A．in order to show her respect for him B．because it was one of his inner quality C．in older to make them feel closer to each other D．because she had always wanted a father
Alexis was hot and tired. With rage in her voice she shouted, "Pull me up！I give up, I hate this. This is stupid!" It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said, "Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her." I then shouted down to Alexis, "Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!" Jason grasped another rope, put his climbing harness(系带)on and began to repel down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted outward. Jason said to Alexis, "I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But , Alexis, you are strong, look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff. Look Alexis, look at the path you have taken." At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used on her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are not alone out here, there are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she shook her head yes and took a deep breath. 1.Jason went down the cliff because _________. A．Alexis took a wrong path B．Alexis was trapped in rocks C．Alexis didn't believe in herself D．Alexis' forearms were badly hurt 2.We can infer from the passage that ________. A．Alexis was finally pulled up by Ed B．Alexis regretted having taken the wrong path up the cliff C．Alexis was immediately sent to hospital after she was pulled up D．Alexis successfully rock climbed 3.The underlined word "hot" in the story means _________. A．disappointed B．angry C．uncomfortable D．running a high body temperature 4.Alexis would probably become _________. A．more strong-minded B．easier to give up C．poorer in health D．less interested in rock climbing
Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move. Since earliest times, people have always been astonished by movement. But not until this century have we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector（放映机）. In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do. A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Ficischer in 1933. But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional（专业人士）. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film through a projector. 1.What does the passage mainly discuss? A．Animal world B．Movie camera C．Cartoon making D．Movement 2.According to the passage, Felix the Cat ______ . A．was created by the American cartoonist Felix B．was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth century C．was unable to do what natural cats could not do D．was created in the United States in the nineteenth century 3.It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A．Walt Disney’s cartoon characters were born earlier that Pat Sullivan’s B．only professionals can create cartoon characters C．Popeye the Sailor and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonists D．the animation industry started in the United States 4.Which of the following statements best describes the author’s attitude towards cartoon making? A．Cartoon making is not a difficult job. Anyone can do it. B．Only trained people can be employed in cartoon making industry. C．Anyone can make cartoons under the instructions of professionals. D．Cartoon making is no easy job. You have to spend much time drawing onto the empty film.
A man found the cocoon (茧) of a moth (蛾). He took it home so that he could 1 the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small 2 appeared. He sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to 3 the body through that little hole. Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had 4 as far as it could and it could go no further. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and 5 the remaining bit of the cocoon. The 6 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven (无用的) wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 7 to be able to support the 8 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 9 around with a swollen body and shriven wings. It was 10 able to fly. What the man in his kindness didn’t 11 was that the small cocoon and the 12 of the moth to get through the 13 opening was a way to push fluid (液体) 14 the body of moth 15 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 16 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 17 would come only after the struggle. By taking the struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we were to 18 our lives without any difficulties, we would become disabled. We would not be as 19 as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance. Leave no room for 20 . 1.

I went to a shop to buy a jacket one Sunday. It is famous one where there are a variety of clothes. I looked all around and finally find an attractive jacket. When I was asked the price, the assistant said, "Seventy dollars." He added that if I paid by cash, he would give me a discount – ten percent off the fixing price. I thought it was so expensive and started to leave. As I was left, he grabbed me and said, "Okay. Forty-five dollars." Delighting, I bought the jacket. However, when I got home and tried on my new jacket, I realized that anything was wrong with it. It had a pocket where wouldn't open. I was speechless and looked at it in amazement.
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项． 1 Men lie; women lie．Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie．A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week． Dr．Robert G．Newby, a professor of sociology , believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women．"Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that," he says．"And they want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good. 2 ” Women, on the other hand, Dr．Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face．Women are more easily hurt and they are not as likely to try to cheat like men． Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently．" 3 They plan better," Callender notes. "They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. " Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. 4 Dr Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful. " 5 Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything said needs to be true," he says. A．Be truthful at any cost. B．Men also lie to each other. C．Everyone lies from time to time. D．Women are much more careful in their lies. E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected. F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn't have to. G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.
We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it． Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils．The standards may be changed because no examination is perfect, but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards．There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers．This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher．Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected school? And from families known to them, a form of favouritism will replace equality．At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates(毕业证） to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability（不合适）of a dull child attending a well-respected school．This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school's reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child form the favoured school． The opponents（反对者）of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils．According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class．They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection．The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer． 1.The underlined word "favouritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ___． A．bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs． B．children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs C．poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success 2.What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author? A．Schools for bright children would lose their reputation． B．There would be more opportunities and excellence． C．Children from poor families would be able to change their schools． D．Children's job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation． 3.The opponents of the examination system will agree that____． A．jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection B．computers should be selected to take over many jobs C．special classes are necessary to keep the school standards D．schools with academic subjects should be done away with 4.The passage mainly focuses on ____． A．schools and certificates B．examinations and equality C．opportunity and employment D．standards and reputation
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods can often come at the least expected time．Others, such as hurricanes are increasing in severity and destruction．Typically, those poor countries are the worst hit for they have the least resources to deal with the destruction and rebuild their home．This part of the globalissues．org website looks at some of these issues． Japan Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Crisis The earthquake off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 was one of the biggest recorded, measuring 9 on the Richter scale（里氏震级）． It was the resulting tsunami, however, that caused the most destruction．It devastated the northeast of Japan, leaving many thousands dead or missing, and -hundreds of thousands homeless or leaving the area．In addition, various power generators（发电机组） failed．Some older nuclear power stations risked meltdown and suffered explosions and radioactive leaks．Workers battled for weeks to try and bring the situation under control．Radioactive material was detected in various places． It is thought that the cost of the earthquake and tsunami could be over $ 300 billion-the world's most expensive natural disaster on record． Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Katrina was a destroyed category 4（四级） hurricane, the highest category, that hit the Gulf of Mexico and various Southern regions of the United States at the end of August, 2005, causing the worst damage in that country's history, estimated at $ 100 billion．The famous New Orleans city and surrounding areas were worst hit as much of it sits some 6 feet below sea level．City defenses, such as banks, only designed for categary 3 type hurricanes, gave way, leading to enormous flooding and associated damage, death and displacement of around 100, 000 people who either chose to say the course, or could not afford to flee． 1.Where would this passage most probably appear? A．In a textbook． B．In a magazine． C．In a paper． D．In a website． 2.Why are those poor countries the worst hit by natural disasters? A．Because they are lazy and poor． B．Because they desire help from rich countries． C．Because they lack resources to deal with the destruction and rebuild their home． D．Because they never think of protecting their home． 3.What is the meaning do the underlined word "devastated" in the paragraph 3? A．Built． B．Completed． C．Discovered． D．Destroyed． 4.In the disaster happening in 2011 in Japan, what caused the most destruction? A．Radioactive material． B．Tsunami． C．Earthquake． D．Power generators' explosion． 5.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Hurricane Katrina also hit the northern part of the USA． B．Hurricane Katrina caused the second the worst damage in the history of the USA． C．All parts of New Orleans city were below sea level． D．City defenses in New Orleans couldn't deal with Hurricane Katrina．
The month of May is not only a graduation month in the US, but also a month when some families hold reunions．Have you ever considered why it is important that families get together in one place for a particular time? I believe the reason is honor． Family reunions are a time we can take out of our busy schedules and spend quality time with our extended families（大家庭）．It is a time when we can make our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others we love a priority （首要事情）in our life． Some reunions take place over a picnic lunch and some last a whole weekend．They can be costly and are sometimes crazy．But the truth is, when people you love grow up and move away, getting together for a family reunion and holding that family bond together is so important． Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives．We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share．As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together． The best part of a family reunion is the time spent simply being around the people you care about A reunion shows how important it is to take time for each other．When you receive a family reunion invitation, make it a priority in your life．It's a great chance to see your relatives once again, give them a big hug and enjoy the time you have with them．Life is too short not to! 1.What would be the best title for the passage?

Teenagers who do not get enough of the nutrients commonly found in fruits and fish are easier to have bad lungs, coughing and wheezing （喘息）．Teens who eat the least of fruit and especially vitamin C have weaker lungs compared to the others． Teens who take in less vitamin E, found in vegetable oil and nuts, are more likely to have asthma（哮喘）, Jane Bums at the Harvard School of Public Health found.
