Spiders are not insects as many people believe. They belong to a class of animals called arachnids(蛛形綱動(dòng)物). Spiders have eight eyes, four pairs of legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. A spider’s body is divided into two sections: the abdomen(腹部) and the thorax(胸部).The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are in the thorax section.

Most spiders have poison glands(毒腺)and sharp teeth. They use their sharp teeth to force poison into the insects they catch for food. This poison can make an insect lose the ability to move, and the helpless insect is then devoured by the spider.

Spiders usually have silk glands under their abdomen. They produce a liquid(液體)that is thicker than water from their glands. When the liquid comes into the air, it dries into silk. Many spiders use this silk to form webs to catch insects and to make cocoons(繭)that protect their eggs. This amazing silk is also used to create lines that spiders hang onto as they travel to new areas.

Spiders live in almost everywhere on earth. The only places where there are no spiders are the coldest places, the highest mountains and the seas.

1.What will happen if a spider loses one leg?

A. It will die.

B. It will lose its way.

C. It will grow a new one.

D. It will have seven legs forever.

2. What is the meaning of the underlined word “devoured”?

A. Eaten. B. Caught. C. Killed. D. Saved.

3.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A. Spiders are not insects.

B. All spiders have poison glands.

C. Spiders make cocoons to keep their eggs safe.

D. There are no spiders in the coldest places.

When thirty-two-year-old tennis player Andre Agassi made to the final of the U.S. Clay Court Championship in April 2003, he set a new world record: he became the oldest player ever to be number one in the world’s tennis rankings. It was one of the greatest achievements in Agassi’s long and successful career.

Andre Agassi turned professional in 1986 at the age of sixteen. His career soon took off, and in 1990, Agassi was famous around the world, though never having won an important tennis championship. Many people thought he was famous more for his long blond hair and colorful tennis shirts than for his tennis skills. They wondered if he could really win an important tournament.

In 1992, Agassi proved these people wrong by winning one of the greatest prizes in world tennis—the Wimbledon singles final. His first attempt to win this tournament had been in 1987, but he lost his opening game. He then refused to take part in Wimbledon for the next three years. He said his reason for not playing was that the officials refused to allow him to wear his colorful shirts, but some people said it was because he was afraid to lose.

After several more championship victories, Agassi’s luck began to run out. By 1997, the year of his marriage to a movie actress--- Brooke Shields, Agassi’s ranking had dropped to 141st in the world. Many people thought his career was over.

Agassi and Shields divorced two years later, and Agassi made a comeback with a new trainer, a new hairstyle, and new determination. In 1999, he won both the French Open and the U.S. Open and ended the year back as the world’s number one. By 2003, he had earned more than $27 million in prize money, making him one of the most successful tennis players of all times.

1. What is the best title of this passage?

A. An Amazing Career B. The World’s Oldest Tennis Player

C. Agassi’s life D. Great Championship Matches

2.How old was Agassi when he won his first championship?

A. sixteen B. twenty C. twenty-two D. thirty-two

3.Who are “these people” in “Agassi proved these people wrong…”?

A. people who beat Agassi in tennis matches

B. people who thought Agassi could not win a championship

C. Brooke Shields and other movie actresses

D. other ranked tennis players

4.Which statement is right about Agassi?

A. He was always lucky to win the championship.

B. He was the youngest player ever to be number one in the world’s tennis rankings.

C. He took part in Wimbledon in 1987.

D. His wife is a dancer.

5.Which of these did NOT happen to Agassi in 1999?

A. He got divorced. B. He won the French Open.

C. He changed his hairstyle. D. He won $27 million.
