When Xia Min started drinking alcohol with her classmates at a friend’s birthday, she didn’t realize what would happen to her. She drank a lot and fell into a coma (昏迷). The 15year-old girl from Chongqing never recovered.
Xia’s death is warning to other students. A new rule went into effect on January 1, 2006. Teens are not allowed to buy or drink alcohol. Shops are not allowed to sell it to them.
A 1999 Chinese law forbade (禁止) shops to sell alcohol to youths under 18. But it is not taken seriously by shopkeepers because it doesn’t have specific rules. People hope the new rule will work.
“I tasted alcohol when having the dinner of the last New Year’s Eve,” said Lian Yuqi, a 16-year-old girl in Xiamen. She believes that the new rule will stop teens from drinking and help them grow in a healthy way.
“Although it may be a little disappointing not to have beer at parties, I think we can have soft drinks instead,” she said.
小題1:Xia Min died from alcohol at the age of ______.
A．15B．16C．17D．18
小題2: The underlined word “it” means ________.
A．a(chǎn) warning singB．a(chǎn) shopkeeper
C．the new rule D．a(chǎn) 1999 Chinese law
小題3:We can know that ________.
A．it is against the new rule for youths under 18 to drink alcohol
B．shops can sell alcohol to a 16 years old youth.
C．without an ID card, young people can’t buy alcohol
D．it seems that the young girl, Liang Yuqi, likes to drink alcohol
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The new rule has worked very well.
B．Shopkeepers can sell alcohol to teens above 18.
C．China’s legal drinking age is clearly under18.
D．Many teens drink alcohol to show they’ve grown up.
小題5:This passage is mainly about _______.
A．the harm of drinking alcohol
B．the legal age for drinking alcohol
C．a(chǎn) new rule to stop teens drinking
D．student’s ideas about drinking alcohol

Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.
　　But when we asked our readers whether they would clone （克隆， 復(fù)制）their beloved animals, the responses（反應(yīng)） were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.
　　Clearly, from readers’ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and final sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people’s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.
　　Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didn’t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
　　Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, “a member of the family,”“the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets’ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
　　Then the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It’s understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s hard to accept.”
　　But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.
小題1:So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, ____.
A．a(chǎn) lot more of them are for it
B．a(chǎn) lot more of them are against it
C．very few of them are willing to tell their opinions
D．a(chǎn)bout half of them are for it and the other half against it
小題2:While talking about the respondents from the readers, the expression “final sadness of owning a pet” refers to ____.
A．the death of one’s pet
B．the high cost of owning a pet
C．the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet
D．the dangers about the cloning of a pet
小題3:From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he ____.
A．has never thought about the problem of cloning
B．is going to write another book on pets
C．is in favor of the idea of cloning pets
D．is all against the cloning of pets
小題4:What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?
A．Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies?
B．Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning?
C．Does cloning go against the law of nature?
D．How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one’s pet?

Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask．But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history．Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history．
The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past．I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures．However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history". Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this．
A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context．We can’t even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less （更不必說） try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be．
I teach my children history, for one more reason．I purchased a set of historical audio （錄音機） tapes for our children．My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over．It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself．I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr．if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished．I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for．
小題1:What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 ?
A．Many people aren't clever enough to learn well from the past．
B．Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes．
C．Many people feel it hard to understand history．
D．Many people have no interest in studying history．
小題2:In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________．
A．It makes the current political situation go smoothly
B．It helps us realize the importance of historical events
C．It helps us understand why things are the way they are
D．It helps people accept the present situation where they live
小題3:Some historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show ______________．
A．People can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evil
B．People may also learn from bad historical figures
C．More celebrations should be held to honor their achievements
D．Today’s people can also achieve what they achieved
小題4:What would be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．How to teach history effectively．
B．Some negative reasons for studying history．
C．How to get more people to study history．
D．Some bad historical figures．
小題5:The main purpose of this passage is to ____________．
A．inspire the parents to teach their children history
B．show the importance of history in politics
C．explain the reasons why children study history
D．introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history

Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices． The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone． Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security．
Allan Friedman, the research director, says, “All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks． This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it． Law enforcement（執(zhí)法） agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data． And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information．
Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices． They said Apple’s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information． The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded （上傳） to any computer that the device is connected to． The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer．
Allan Friedman says, “This raises additional concerns． There’s the idea that because it’s on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications（惡意程序） that I pay for or that I’m tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it．”
Apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iPhone”． It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the user’s location． This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed．
Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google． The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems． Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws． He says, “There aren’t strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it． And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”
小題1:Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?
A．Because the systems can store users’ information
B．Because many users have suffered loss after using them．
C．Because it is thought to threaten users’ privacy．
D．Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems．
小題2: Allan Friedman believes that ________．
A．wireless companies focus on personal privacy．
B．people are forbidden to get access to private data at will
C．phone companies may sell private information secretly
D．customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking
小題3: What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A． Location tracking information is stored online．
B．Apple’s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information．
C．Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone．
D．Apple’s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users．
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Apple denies that it tracks the location of users．
B．The researchers may misunderstand the Apple’s systems．
C．The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications．
D．The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user’s information．

Although many butterflies remain to be decreasing in the long run, last year three quarters of endangered species saw an increase in number, including some rare species.
Experts said the improvement in the butterflies’ fortunes was likely to be the result of effective action on protection, such as leaving open wetland in woods where flowers can grow, and better weather in 2010 after three damaging wet summers.
Dr Tom Brereton said butterflies are extremely sensitive to changes in the weather. Last year saw a warm summer for successful feeding, which helped a number of butterflies in some way.
He even said climate change could be benefiting some butterfly species but many other butterfly species suffer from it. For example, the mountain ringlet suffers as it needs cold climates. And at the same time, the change is too rapid for most to get used to.
In the long run butterfly numbers have continued to drop, with three quarters of the nearly 60 species found in Britain seeing numbers fall in recent decades and nearly half of them seriously threatened.
The Lulworth skipper, one of the UK’s rarest butterflies, had its worst year since 1976, and there are people worrying that changing the environment to benefit other species may be harming this kind of butterfly. Wild flowers have been grown in some places to help other butterflies but the Lulworth skipper needs long grass and wild areas. Meadow browns, the country’s most common species, also had the worst year on record. Some other kinds of butterflies also had a bad year.
However, in the short term many butterflies saw an increase in number in 2010 compared to 2009 levels.
…
小題1:Which was a reason for the increase in the number of the butterflies last year?
A．The protection of humans.B．A wet summer.
C．Changes in the butterflies’ habits.D．The decrease in wetland in woods.
小題2:We can learn from Dr Tom Brereton’s words that       .
A．the mountain ringlet can quickly adapt to climate change
B．butterflies can help slow down climate change
C．climate change can be both beneficial and harmful to butterflies
D．other kinds of animals also suffer from climate change
小題3:What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph?
A．Why some butterflies decreased in number in 2010.
B．How to protect butterflies in the coming winter.
C．Effects of climate change on butterflies.
D．Examples of butterflies that have increased in number.
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Some butterflies in Britain have had a good year.
B．Butterflies in Britain have different habits.
C．Butterflies are well protected in Britain.
D．Butterflies are disappearing from Britain.

While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who, and different relationships between their classmates, I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports.
When I was young, my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It’ s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationship might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.
Firstly you have to think about such a question— whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this, there really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives.
The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.
小題1:The author writes this passage probably for        to read.
A．high school studentsB．school teachers
C．parents and teachersD．married couples
小題2: Between sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be        than that of being boy/girl-friends.
A．weakerB．saferC．slimmerD．stronger
小題3:How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?
A．Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.
B．Studying is far more important than dating in school.
C．In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.
D．Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.
小題4:The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to       .
A．the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school
B．a(chǎn)dvice given by both teachers and parents
C．the pressure from school lessons and sports
D．the relationship between students of opposite sexes

In summer, millions of people will head for the beach．And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way．Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity．
“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．”
Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity．
Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples （波紋） in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．”
When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine （渦輪） ．The turbine can then power an electrical generator （發(fā)電機） ．
The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland．
The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal．
Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however．
Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic．
With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．”
In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Wave power doesn’t cost too much money．
B．Wave energy is so clean that it doesn’t create the same amount of pollution as other energy sources．
C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic．
D．Wave power may affect marine animals．
小題2:We can infer from the passage that ______．
A．finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energy
B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world
C．wave power is not quite perfect for creating energy around the world
D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution
小題3:The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means ______．
A．regretsB．a(chǎn)dventuresC．disadvantagesD．difficulties
小題4:What can be the best title for the passage? 
A．How to Get Electricity by WavesB．The advantages of Wave Energy
C．Can Waves Make Electricity?D．The Disadvantages of Wave Energy
