【題目】Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.

That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.

Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.

First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didn’t. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.

Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.

About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I’m crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.

Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?

Thank you.

One of the most recent social changes taking place in the world is social networking. Social networking has been in existence for at least 150 years, and probably longer than that. In the times before the invention of the computer and the World Wide Web (WWW), social networking was done in person. People who had similar likes and interests would gather together to share experiences, make new friends, and improve their businesses.
On the Internet, social networking websites made their first appearances during the late 1990s. The first major social networking website in the United States was MySpace. MySpace allowed its users to exchange messages, share pictures, and make new friends in a way that was never thought of in the past. With MySpace, people who did not go out much could reach out to others from their own homes.
In 2004, Facebook was created. It was first a website created for use by Harvard University's students and teachers, but it soon expanded to include just about everyone. It is now larger than some of the largest companies in the world. It is a website that is changing all the time. Facebook has completely changed the way people stay connected with each other and the rest of the world. The way it works is simple. Users can set up a new account (賬戶) easily. All a new user needs is an email address to start. Once a person has created an account and his friend also has his own Facebook page, he can invite his friend by sending a request out to him. Once you get started, making new friends will come easily.
（1）What can we learn about social networking?
A.It is not a new development.
B.It made World Wide Web famous.
C.It appeared because of the computers.
D.It helped people develop new interests.
（2）What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.MySpace is less famous than Facebook.
B.MySpace greatly changed people's lives.
C.MySpace led to the appearance of Facebook.
D.MySpace was improved by Harvard University's students.
（3）What do new users of Facebook need to create an account?
A.An email address.
B.His friend's help.
C.High-speed network.
D.His friend's Facebook page.
（4）What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.The way to be a Facebook user.
B.The importance of social networking.
C.Two important social networking websites.
D.The differences between MySpace and Facebook.

【題目】Have you ever wondered why birds sing？Maybe you thought that they were just happy.After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason.Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.

Do you know what a “territory” is？A territory is an area that an animal，usually the male，claims (聲稱) as its own.Only he and his family are welcome there.No other families of the same species are welcome.Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout.Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.

If so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him.A bird does the same thing.But he expects an outsider almost any time，especially at nesting season.So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not.This screaming is what we call a bird’s song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

You can see that birds have a language all their own.Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

【1】What is a bird’s “territory”？

A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.

B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.

C. An area for which birds fight against each other.

D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.

【2】Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?

A. Because they want to invite more friends.

B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.

C. Because they want to find outsiders around.

D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.

【3】How does the writer explain birds’ singing?

A. By describing birds’ daily life.

B. By reporting experiment results.

C. By comparing birds with human beings.

D. By telling.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
The most widespread fallacy (謬論)of all is that colds ire caused by cold. They are actually caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coining into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in the isolated Arctic Regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(戰(zhàn)壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp，naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter. Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
（1）The writer offered examples to support his argument
A.4
B.5
C.6
D.7
（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The Eskimos suffer from colds from time to time.
B.Colds are not always caused by cold.
C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D.A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
（3）Arctic explorers may catch colds when they are .
A.working in the isolated arctic regions
B.writing reports in terribly cold weather
C.free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D.coming into touch again with the outside world
（4）Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit .
A.suffered a lot
B.never caught colds
C.often caught colds
D.became very strong
（5）The passage mainly discusses .
A.the experiments on the common cold
B.the fallacy about the common cold
C.the reason and the way people catch colds
D.the continued spread of common colds

【題目】閱讀理解
When her five daughters were young, Helen An always told them that there was strength in unity (團(tuán)結(jié)). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helen An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helen and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helen and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helen did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $ 20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
（1）Helen tied several chopsticks together to show ________.
A.the strength of family unity
