【原文】

W: I’ve just discovered a fantastic new show called How Do They Do That?. The idea is simple. Take a topic — like travel, for example and then think of lots of little mysteries that could be explained. How do planes take off and land? That sort of thing. Then get two young, enthusiastic hosts in a lab to do lots of exciting experiments. Add some pictures to explain the process to the audience and that’s the show. Get the idea?

Each edition looks at a different subject. As well as travel, topics that have already been covered include education, the body, things around the house and magic — my favorite so far. Still to come are personal finances, the natural world, sports, and life and how to live it. The one I’m personally looking forward to the most is how to meet the perfect partner. But some of my friends would like to know how to eat chocolate without putting on weight.

What I like most about the show is that it’s fun and you learn something at the same time, so you don’t feel so guilty about spending 60 minutes in front of the TV each week. So if you aren’t already watching How Do They Do That?, I strongly recommend that you make the time. You’ll never think it boring. It’s on every Tuesday at 9 p.m. but this week’s edition won’t be shown until half an hour later because of the live international soccer game. Get watching and start learning!

【題目】 One spring morning many years ago, I had been prospecting for gold along Coho Creek in southeastern Alaska. Suddenly, no more than 20 paces away was a huge Alaskan timber wolf-caught in a trap.

From her appearance, I guessed she had been trapped for several days. She needed my help, I thought. But if I tried to release her, she would turn aggressive to me. The wolf was clearly suffering. The trap's steel jaws had imprisoned two toes. They were swollen and lacerated, but she wouldn't lose the paw (爪子) — if freed. Yet each time I moved closer, she would make a frightening growl. If I could only win her confidence, I thought. It was her only hope.

Over the next few days, I divided my time between prospecting and trying to win the wolf's trust. I talked gently with her, throwing her some meat. Gradually, I kept edging closer — though I was careful to remain beyond the length of her trap chain.

At dusk on the fifth day, I delivered her dinner. Suddenly, I saw a slight wagging of her tail. I moved within the length of her chain. She remained sill. As a towering man, my heart was in my mouth, though. Within her reach, I wrapped my blanket around myself and slowly settled onto the cold ground. It was long before I fell asleep.

The next morning, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf's injured leg. Unexpectedly; she made no threatening move. Then I applied pressure, the trap sprang open, and the wolf pulled free.

My experience told me the wolf would vanish into the woods quickly. But cautiously, she crept toward me and sniffed my hands and arms. This went against everything I'd ever heard about timber wolves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural.

【1】What happened to the timber wolf?

A.She was stuck in a trap.B.Her food ran out.

C.Her legs were swollen.D.She was caught in the author's trap.

【2】What was the only hope for the wolf to be saved?

A.Some food.B.The author's care.

C.Her trust in the author.D.Winning the author's confidence.

【3】Why was falling asleep difficult for the author?

A.He was too close to the wolf.B.The ground was too cold.

C.The wolf remained still.D.The wolf wagged her tail.

【4】How did the author feel about the outcome of the event?

A.It was frightening and surprising.B.It was unexpected but natural.

C.It was humorous and natural.D.It was terrifying but encouraging.

Dear friends,

How time flies! I am Li Jin, president of the Student Union of Chenguang Middle School. It's my great privilege to be here, share this moment with our fellow friends from the UK.

During the two-week activities, we sure exchanged our ideas on learning, ways of life, PE and cultures. One of the highlight was the sports meeting where we competed for each other in the basketball match. The past two weeks have witnessed our grow and friendship. It is not only your enthusiasm but also your teamwork and good spirits which impress us. After the two-week exchange activities, we now have better understanding of each other on a whole new level. But I sincerely hope our friendship will last forever. Wish you all the best!

Thanks you.

【題目】Setting aside for a rainy day

It’s a common regret in life that we spend more than we save---money that could go into a savings account or into a pension. Whatever age you are, it’ s never too late to start thinking about saving for your future. Here are several ways to get you going.

【1】

It’s hard to know what you can afford to save if you don’t have an accurate budget, so doing this is a key first step. Once you’ve made a record of everything you spend each month and everything you earn, you’ll be able to see how much money you have left.

Get into a regular habit

【2】 Payday is great as you won’t be tempted (誘惑）to spend the cash. You can also set up a standing order to move money automatically into a savings account each month, so you won’t forget.

【3】

There are different places you can put your savings, from tax-free ISAs(Individual Saving Accounts) to high-interest current accounts. Wherever you choose, keep an eye on the interest rate. Many have high rates for the first year and drop down afterwards. 【4】

Set yourself a goal

If you know exactly what you’re saving for, it’s far more likely you’ll keep putting money away. 【5】It’s also worth thinking about building an emergency fund for unexpected expenditures.

A.The earlier the better.

B.Earn as much interest as you can

C.Find out what you can afford to save

D.If that happens, look to move your money elsewhere.

E.Choose a fixed day each month to put money into savings.

F.If you don’t have much left after bills and essentials, you can use your budget to find ways to cut back.

G.It could be to make sure you’re comfortable in the future and have a relatively high standard of living

【題目】 Old Mrs. Lynn was working in the cottage, hanging the washed clothes on the line. What she wasn’t aware was that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were sure that she was a witch and wanted to find the evidence.

They watched nervously as she took a broomstick to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn’t get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly — signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack. (干草堆).

The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack, followed by Michael, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Accidentally, she tripped and crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.

“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.

“What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”

After thinking for a while, Julia said, “Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”

Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady’s forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.

“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”

Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when I fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.” The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!

【1】Mrs. Lynn stopped sweeping when ________.

A.her doorstep became very clean

B.she heard the hen making sounds loudly

C.she noticed the children in the tree

D.her cat Michael managed to get her attention

【2】Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs. Lynn when she fell?

A.He thought that she could be cheating them.

B.He was afraid of the three-legged black cat.

C.He did not think that she was hurt in the fall.

D.He knew he and the others shouldn’t have been in her tree.

【3】Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prudently” ?

A.Slowly.B.Hurriedly.

C.Carefully.D.Quietly.

【4】What is the main idea of the story?

A.Constant dropping wears away a stone.

B.Never judge a book by its cover.

C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D.A good medicine tastes bitter.
