Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place "Tomesha"-- the land of fire. Death Valley's present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and colorful parts of Death Valley is the Devil's Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 1. The name of the valley comes from__________ . A. an Indian name B. the death of the miners C. the local people D. a National Movement 2. From the passage we can learn that__________. A. no one had ever known the desert before the miners B. it's still not easy to travel across the desert C. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desert D. people have changed the natural sight of the desert 3.

The research carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help prove hospitals who are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain. A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli. They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly painting, or a blank panel while the team zapped(照射) a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin. The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel. Electrodes measuring the brain's electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings. While distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part. The findings, reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process. "Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their artistic aspects should be taken into account too," said the neurologist. "Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not. But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse. " "I think these results show that more research is needed into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering." Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero. "These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world," said Prof de Tommaso. 1.The underlined word “alleviate” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_________”. A. cure B. ease C. improve D. kill 2.How many artists have been mentioned in the passage? A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7. 3.Which of the following is TURE about the view of Prof de Tommaso’s? A. Beautiful surroundings could help to heal sufferings completely . B. Hospitals must take their artistic aspects into consideration first. C. Ugly surroundings will surely make the pain worse. D. Both music and beauty can reduce pain in hospital patients. 4.Which of the following is the suitable title for the passage? A. Beautiful surroundings can ease pain. B. Ugly paintings could be masterpieces. C. More research should be done in the field. D. Latest environmental research.
The key to happiness is how quickly you can get back your focus on what’s important. -----Anonymous Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck." Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did. I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do any more." Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about. The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day. What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by? Here's my bet. You'll be happier. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. 1. What happened one day when the author was taking a taxi? A. The taxi almost hit another car. B. The taxi driver was injured. C. The author scolded the driver of the other car. D. The author learned a lesson from the driver of the garbage truck. 2. How did the taxi driver respond to the behaviour of the driver of the black car? A. He yelled back at the driver. B. He sent the driver to the hospital. C. He was friendly towards the driver. D. He dumped some garbage in front of his car. 3. What does the taxi driver think of people according to Paragraph 3? A. Many people like to drive garbage trucks. B. Many people dump garbage wherever they like. C. Many people are warm-hearted to make others happy. D. Many people tend to be very much depressed. 4. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. The author used to have a lot of garbage trucks. B. The author used to complain a lot. C. The author used to have a lot of money. D. The author used to be a good manager. 5. According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you? A. Ignore them and go on with our own work. B. Try our best to persuade them not to do that again. C. Tell them to dump the garbage in the right place. D. Take over their work and carry the garbage to somewhere else.
Working hard for fun No more pencils! No more books No more teacher’s serious looks! After a long period of study and work, the young Americans burst through the school doors singing. But unfortunately, American students do very poorly and are among the worst students in the world. In the entire field of subjects---from geography and maths to science and general knowledge. American students are the poorest performers. Why? What’s the reason behind the scene? One problem lies in the fact that so little is expected from them. The standards of success are too low. Teachers are not willing to give out low grades and fail students. Besides, the existing negative results are few and mean little to students if their performance in study is poor . Of course some students realize that a high school diploma is a measure of success and will be important to get a job or get admitted into college. But they only have to go through the motions without really trying. They learn to get by with a minimum of effort. In America, it is simply too easy for high school students to enter college. This forms a sharp contrast with the students in China and other Asian countries who have to suffer heavy pressure from parents, teachers and cruel social facts. Chinese students have to study hard for long years to pass the national college entrance examination which few Americans will take such trouble to enter to university. The majority American students know that they will be able to get into some college, so they do not really worry about it. It turns out that American high school students are just too busy to find time to study. They spend almost no time on study while students from other countries spend four or five hours per day on homework. American students on the average give less than five hours per week to their studies. Learning and reading for future are not important to them. Many American never read. It is little wonder why Americans knows less than students from other countries. 1. Why are American students the poorest performers in the entire field of subjects? A. Because they are too busy to find time to study. B. Because they are too stupid and too lazy. C. Because they care little about their study. D. Because so little is required from them 2. Which of the following is Not true ? A. Most of American students spend less than five hours on their study every week. B. Few American students have trouble to enter college. C. American students can be admitted into college even without a high school diploma. D. It is hard for the students in China to enter college. 3. What seems to be the writer’s attitude towards American students? A. He probably thinks much should be expected from them. B. He is in favour of American students’ learning methods. C. He shows no interest in American students’ study. D. He thinks American students study hard.
It is well known that the Japanese people’s love of fish is almost as a bee’s interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge－how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者)，the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge ... Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge?” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation. Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem？Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don’t sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert (警觉的) The fish stay fresh because they are challenged. Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career. 1.The main reason for the fishing company to fish in the far sea is that_________. A. the fish resource near the shore was decreasing B. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresher C. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh ones D. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh 2.The relationship between fishes and sharks is similar to that between_________in nature. A. dogs and cats B. monkeys and mosquitoes C. wolves and antelopes D. children and lions 3.The underlined part of the last paragraph means “_________.” A. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies did B. Try to find a big shark, and you will meet your challenge C. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challenges D. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people’s life 4.The purpose for the author to write the passage is to_________. A. tell the readers “no pains, no gains” B. tell the readers how the Japanese keep the fish fresh C. suggest readers looking for challenges to make progress D. advise readers to find something difficult to do

I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldn’t sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule. My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper … On the third day, … This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition（过渡）, that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough, But something was missing. A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my new found “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That’s all, My bags were packed and by the door. The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work. Now, it seems, the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment (责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war, Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I’ve gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries! 1.What did the writer expect to do after he retired? A. To stay away from busy schedules. B. To write some great books. C. To do some voluntary work D. To plan for his future. 2.Why did the writer decide to go to Jamaica? A. He missed his students in that country. B. He couldn’t refuse his colleague’s favor. C. He was concerned about the people there. D. He was not satisfied with his retired life. 3.The underlined part “the tables have turned”(Paragraph 5) means that the writer_________. A. improved the situation in his school B. felt happy to work with students again C. became a learner rather than a teacher D. changed his attitude toward his retired life 4.What does the writer think of his retired life now?

In the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey 36 the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step. “Any old 37 , lady?” asked one of them I was 38 . I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin scandals(便鞋), wet with heavy snow. “Come in and I’ll 39 you a cup of hot cocoa.” There was no conversation.
