April 20th is an ordinary day in 2013, it is in this day that shocking earthquake happened again in Sichuan province, China. The earthquake was terrible. We can’t describe the scene what we saw with any words. Thousands of people were injured even died. And thousands of children became such unlucky ones who lost fathers or mothers. They longed to have families to continue their lives. I am sympathetic to their fate! But I believed that we can fight against the fate and change it. For example, there are many people keeping living without food or water for about 100 hours during the earthquake!
What an unbelievable thing it is! Their great spirits showed the powerful life vitality of humans! However, they must keep fighting against the death. Many schools were destroyed and there were many students and teachers who left us forever. Sadness, hopelessness and different kinds of danger spread out here and there!
But, fortunately, love is around us: the Communist Party helps us, the army helps us, the people all over the world help us. They offer us money, goods, love and so on ! With the help of such a large love, we will overcome the damage of the earthquake and face our beautiful future!

It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread.

Two Chinese spacecrafts successfully completed China’s first space docking (對接) early November 3, 2011, which has taken the country a step closer to building its own space station.

Nearly two days after its launch, the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou VIII docked with the space lab module Tiangong I more than 343 km above the earth surface. Shenzhou VIII and Tiangong I took apart after flying together for 12 days. On the 14th of November, the two spacecrafts finished the second docking. Then Shenzhou VIII parted from Tiangong I again and returned to the earth safely on the 17th. Tiangong I is still traveling around the earth in the space, waiting for the arrival of Shenzhou IX and X and so on in the near future.
That marked another great leap for China’s space program and made China the third country in the world, after the United States and Russia, master the space docking technique (空間對接技術(shù)).
The world’s first space docking was achieved in 1966, when the manned U.S, spacecraft Gemini 8 docked with an unmanned Agena Target Vehicle. Space docking is necessary to explore space beyond Earth’s orbit (軌道). “The capability increases China’s ability to act independently in space, as well as its ability to work together with others,” said Gregory Kulacki, a U.S. space scientist and senior analyst.
“With the success of its first space docking, China is now equipped with the basic technology and ability required for the construction of a space station,” said Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China’s manned space program.” The country is on its way to building a permanent manned space station around 2020.”
【小題1】What did the success of the first space docking mean to China?

A．China has caught up with the United States in the space exploration field.
B．China took a step closer to building its own space station.
C．China became the first country to master the space docking technique.
D．China has the ability to build a permanent manned space station right now.
【小題2】What does the underlined word “That” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．Shenzhou VIII
B．Tiangong I
C．The Space Station
D．The success of China’s first space docking
【小題3】What can we learn from the passage? 
A．Tiangong I will fly in the space for 12 days.
B．The first space docking of the world was achieved in 1966, by Russians.
C．Without space docking technique people can’t explore space beyond Earth’s orbit.
D．The U.S.A helped China achieve the first space docking.
【小題4】Which of the following statements is Not True?
A．Shenzhou VIII docked with the space lab module Tiangong I on November 3, 2011
B．Shenzhou VIII returned to the earth safely on November 17, 2011.
C．The USA , Russia and China have mastered the space docking technique
D．Tiangong I is still traveling around the earth, waiting for the arrival of Shenzhou IX and X around 2020.
【小題5】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The first space docking of China.
B．The history of space docking.
C．The first space docking of the world.

Give this memory test a try. Mix up 52 playing cards. Now look at the top seven for a second. Can you remember them in order?
Players at the World Memory Championships can. In fact, the 2002 champion (冠軍), Andi, memorized the order of 1196 cards after looking at them for only an hour! And a German girl, Lara, only ten years old, memorized 75 faces and names in fifteen minutes!
In 1987, a Japanese man, Mr. Tomoyori, wanted to prove that his memory was the best in the world by remembering by heart pi (π), a number in math which starts 3.14159…This number never repeats itself or ends. He recited pi to 40,000 decimal places (小數(shù)位). It took the fifty-five-year-old man more than twelve hours to say the numbers, but he did it without making a mistake!
To remember pi, Mr. Tomoyori connected each number with a sound. He then made up stories to help him remember the words he made from the sounds. In an interview after his achievement, he said, “I decided to go ahead and memorize the value of pi up to one thousand places. But it wasn’t easy – in fact, it took me three years. To get to 40,000 decimal places it took me about ten years.”
Unluckily for Mr. Tomoyori, his record was broken in 1995, when another Japanese man, Mr. Goto, memorized pi to 42,195 places.
【小題1】Why was Lara’s success special?

A．She was just a little girl.B．She was the 2002 champion.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The benefits of learning other languages.
B．The reasons why people come to America.
C．The importance of learning English.
D．How to learn another language.
【小題2】The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to_______.
A．discuss the need for teaching a new language
B．introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers
C．describe the advantages of moving to another country
D．show the problems of speaking only one language
【小題3】The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.”
A．their mother languageB．a(chǎn) new language
C．more than one languageD．body language
【小題4】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can____.
A．find a better job
B．make more friends
C．better understand history
D．communicate more independently
【小題5】Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A．Not knowing another language.
B．Forgetting one’s mother language.
C．Refusing to learn another language.
D．Failing to communicate with others.
