1.It is 8:45 a.m.a(chǎn)nd a line of hungry children eagerly await breakfast outside a classroom.Moments later they burst in,running over to a table covered with cereals,spreads,milk and juice to enjoy a satisfying,healthy breakfast.
This is familiar for Cannel McConnell,founder of The Magic Breakfast,a charity that delivers morning meals to children who would otherwise go without.
Ms McConnell created her organization 16 years ago after hearing from school staff that they had to feed their pupils before lessons started,as many were so hungry as to sleep in class.
The Magic Breakfast has a simple goal:to remove child hunger in the mornings by 2020.It is an example of one of many organizations using fresh produce to handle food poverty.
The charity has 200 partner schools in the capital and another 280 across the rest of England.There are 60 London schools on the waiting list.On average,49 pupils receive breakfast in each school,meaning the charity helps 9,800 young people in London every day.
Ms McConnell says the Magic Breakfast has made a notable impact:"Every morning pupils come in,eat breakfast and socialise with one another.In terms of their academic development,they are sharper as the breakfast gives them the energy to get through the day and to learn."
When asked about the obstacle to their goal,McConnell says,"The big thing we need,quite simply,is cash.The consequence (后果) of child hunger is that they will fail at school and we have to deal with fallout.Feeding hungry children so they can learn is no tough task.Breakfast is an ideal solution.As well as cash,we are looking for firms to donate food.I'd love for people to support us.And I'd love for us to proudly say we have sorted this problem out."

12.http://edition.cnn.com/2015/03/14/africa/egypt-plans-new-capital/index.html?hpt=travel_hp_blogroll
Forget the pyramids,Tahrir Square and the Nile.Egypt is ready to ditch Cairo and build a shiny new capital if the government has its way.
Fed up with pollution,traffic jams,a packed population with soaring rents,Egypt is teaming up with a developer in the United Arab Emirates to build a city in what could be one of the world's most ambitious infrastructure programs.
The yet-to-be-named city will spread out over 150square miles,or roughly the size of Denver,and could eventually be home to 7million people,the developers and government announced Friday.
The current capital of Cairo,while full of history and vibrant charm,is home to more than 18million people,and living in and getting around the city can be maddening and frustrating.The government says the idea is to reduce congestion in Cairo,which is projected to double in population in the coming decades.
An exact location was not announced,but the city is expected to be built east of Cairo.It will be closer to the Red Sea--between two major highways--the Suez and the Ain Sokhna roads.
The ambitions are big.In addition to the new embassies and government buildings,it plans to have an international airport bigger than Heathrow,solar energy farms,40,000hotel rooms,nearly 2,000schools and 18hospitals--all linked together by over 6,000miles of new roads.
But if th e dream is big,the bill will be bigger.
The total cost is estimated at U.S.$45billion,Minister of Housing Mostafa Madbouly announced at an economic development conference in Sharm el-Sheikh.
The revealing of the new capital was paired with a glamorous website showing a luxurious and technological urban view of glass towers and pools.
The plan is backed by a group that describes itself as"a private real estate investment fund by global investors focused on investment and development partnerships"led by Emirati developer Mohamed Alabbar.
Alabbar made his name as the founder of Dubai's Emaar Properties,primarily known for developing the world's tallest building,the Burj Khalifa.
Egypt is not the first country to plan on moving its capital from established big cities to rural greener pastures.Myanmar(緬甸) has only recently completed its move from Yangon to the new city of Naypyidaw.Nigeria moved to Abuja in the 1990's,and Brazil carved its capital Brasilia out of the wilderness over 50years ago.
And then there was another crazy idea of building a capital city on a square of swampland that seemed mainly to be a boondoggle for wealthy land speculators(商人) at the time.
That city?
58.Egypt is ready to join hands with some experienced developers to build a new capital mainly because of the following EXCEPTC in the old capital.
A.pollution and population   
B.its location and higher rents
C.its long history and charm
D.traffic jams and crowdedness
59.The underlined sentence in the passage means that it isA.
A.a(chǎn) new city with expensive infrastructure programs
B.a(chǎn) new city with beautiful glass towers and pools
C.a(chǎn)n enterprising dream with abundant funds
D.a(chǎn) noble dream with rich cooperative teams
60.Which city was the outcome of a crazy idea at that time?D
A.Abuja.
B.Brasilia.
C.Naypyidaw.
D.Washington,D.C.

6.Hachiko is a national hero to the Japanese.Several movies have been made about him and his moving story.
The amazing story of Hachiko took place in the 1920s.After being adopted in 1923 by Eizaburo Ueno,a professor at Tokyo University,Hachiko soon became the best friend with his new owner.Eizaburo loved his dog above all and treated him as his son.The two of them were inseparable (親密無間的).
As Hachiko grew older,he started to see his owner off to work in the morning at the Shibuya Train Station and went to pick him up in the afternoon.On May 21,1925,the two-year-old Hachiko was sitting by the exit at the train station waiting for Eizaburo as usual.Sadly,his owner never showed up.
It turned out that Eizaburo had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage (腦出血) and died unexpectedly while at work.
Hachiko moved in with a former gardener of the Ueno family.However,throughout the rest of his life,he kept going to the Shibuya Train Station every day,regardless of the weather,waiting fruitlessly for the return of his beloved owner.
A major Japanese newspaper picked up the story in 1932.Soon,Hachiko became well known all over the country.In 1934,a statue of Hachiko was put up in front of the Shibuya train station.One year later,on March 8,1935,Hachiko passed away peacefully on the street outside the train station.
Hachiko is now on display at the National Science Museum in Tokyo.In front of the Shibuya train station,where the faithful dog waited patiently to meet his master every day for ten years,Hachiko's statue has been a popular attraction.Every day,hundreds of people come to learn about the dog's moving story and have their photographs taken with him.

25.What made Hachiko a Japanese national hero?D
A.Movies about his story.
B.A major Japanese newspaper.
C.A gardener of the Ueno family.
D.His devotion to his owner.
26.What can we learn from the passage?A
A.Hachiko's body is kept in a museum in Tokyo.
B.Hachiko stayed at the train station for ten years.
C.Hachiko lost his owner the year he was adopted.
D.The statue was set up one year after Hachiko died.
27.W hat's the purpose of the passage?C
A.To attract more foreign tourists to Japan.
B.To advise people to see movies about Hachiko.
C.To tell the story behind a famous attraction in Japan.
D.To show that dogs have a close relationship with humans.

13.In many cases,you ability to understand the local language directly affects the quality of your travel experience.For some travelers,the challenge of learning a new tongue is one of the joys of travel,and as a result,they spend much of their time in conversations with local citizens.Others will find that just learning to read the most common signs and use every-day greetings is enough?
No matter which view you agree with,it's necessary to take some time to learn some of the simple phrases of the new language before you go.One way of finishing this task is by listening to the new language.A phrase book can help expand your vocabulary,but hearing the sounds of the different spoken words is an excellent activity that can be done right in the comfort of your home.You can see movies in the new language or listen to the tapes or CDs.You can also download some listening material from the Internet.Just spending 15minutes a night will improve your language skills.
When you arrive in the new land,begin by greeting new friends in their own tongue.This may come easy or it could take some time to learn,but it's interesting.If you can't do this,then it means that you will need more practice and patience to learn these very important words.You can go out during the day and begin one-one-one conversations with shop owners,business-men hand taxi drivers.This should not be one until you have learned some of the most common phrases,but one you begin to go shopping in a second language your communication skills will start to improve rapidly.You can also watch the local TV or listen to the local radio.For example,the advertisements(廣告)will help you recognize the correct pronunciation of local street names.

25.What does the underlined word"tongue"in Paragraph 1 refer to?A
A.language             B.sign           C.vocabulary         D.greeting

C.After he has many movies in the local tongue
