Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take measures now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
　　1. Water
　　A person needs at least 1/2 gallon(加侖) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
　　2. Food
　　It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
　　3. Torch(手電筒) and spare batteries (電池)
　　Keep a torch beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(泄露).Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
　　4. Clothes
　　If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
小題1:Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A．Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.
B．Because earthquakes take place without warning.
C．Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
D．Because it’s people’s daily work to prepare the earthquakes.

In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. More than 80 percent of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan in order to go to university. They use the loan (貸款)  to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan. The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around £12,000. Students of medicine usually have debts of more than £20,000. That is a lot of money. It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. They even struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating. If you start to earn over £15,000 a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary. Is it any surprise, therefore, that the average British person does not leave their parents’ home until they are 30 years old?
You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in white-collar jobs seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper. Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. While at university, they have dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job. Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disappointing for a lot of graduates.
All of the above is beginning to make British people question whether a university degree is really worth the money.
小題1:What's the best title of this passage?
A．What's a University Education worth in the UK?
B．There is a lot of competition in the UK
C．There won't be any University Place left for British students
D．It doesn't cost students more and more to attend university
小題2:What's the following is true?  
A．University Education is really worth the money in England
B．University Education is worth all over the world except in England
C．British education is becoming more expensive for a majority of British students
D．British students don't like to go to university
小題3:We can infer from the passage ____
A．The average British person didn't leave their parents' home until they are
35 years old
B．Having a degree doesn't get aBritish person a good job
C．Students are graduating without larger and larger debts.
D．things are easier for students from other countries coming to study
in the UK without money
小題4:The word "interest" in paragraph2 means_______
A． money paid for a week's work
B． money borrowed from a band

A new reading tool was put on the market this week for the two-to five-year-old set. It is sold for at least $389, an expensive purchase for a kid – and that doesn’t even include a $99 annual subscription (訂閱) fee for games, e-books, and age-appropriate software.
That might be fine for parents willing and able to pay thousands for private nursery schools, but will the tool actually help kids learn language and reading skills more effectively than traditional books?
Probably not, said Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center for Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. “There is a sensory components (感官因素) to books that isn’t there with e-books,” he explained. “You can smell it, turn the pages, and taste it, as young kids are likely to do.”
That might help little ones become more familiar with the books, helping them learn from them, but far more important is whether a person is actually sitting with them while they’re looking at the pages.
Researchers have shown time and again that kids learn better when they’re having interaction (互動(dòng)) with real people, rather than electronic voices reading to them from a computer or speaking to them from the TV.
A Georgetown University study found that kids who learned to put on gloves from watching a video took six times as long to learn the process as those who watched it shown by an adult standing in front of them.
“I’m a big believer in teaching kids to live in the digital society and use what the rest of the family uses, but they do need to be supervised,” said Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, a Boston-based children’s doctor and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “We don’t recommend that young kids use any type of technology for very long since they have the attention span (注意力持續(xù)時(shí)間) of a butterfly.”
小題1:According to the text, the new tool        .
A．is mainly used to entertain kids
B．can be accepted by most families
C．is designed for preschool kids
D．can download games for free
小題2:Why is Dr. Michael Rich against the new tool?
A．Because it doesn’t really involve many of the senses.
B．Because it does great harm to kids’ eyesight.
C．Because kids can’t communicate with it.
D．Because traditional books are cheaper.
小題3:The study mentioned in Paragraph 6 aims to        .
A．show the disadvantage of kids’ watching videos
B．prove the importance of interaction with people
C．a(chǎn)sk parents to teach their kids to learn
D．prove using e-books saves much time
小題4:The underlined word “supervised” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “     ”.
A．punishedB．watchedC．encouragedD．understood
小題5:What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce a new electronic device.
B．To teach kids how to live in a digital world.
C．To show parents how to help kids gain knowledge.
D．To throw new light on kids’ use of electronic tools.

More than a hundred adults and kids gather for the Star Party on a cold evening, chattering excitedly as they stand in the dark on a Virginia hillside. The odd thing is, no one has turned on a flashlight, and no streetlights or house lights wink(閃爍) on around them.
These people have traveled to the countryside more than an hour from Washington, D. C., to get away from the glow of city lights.  That's because they are attending a star party. Star parties are gatherings where professional and amateur astronomers set up their telescopes and invite people to come learn about the night sky. Getting away from light pollution, or artificial skylight from buildings for example,  helps stargazers (看星星的人) see objects in the sky much better.
At this star party, Sean O'Brien of the National Air and Space Museum’s Einstein Planetarium starts off by asking the crowd to simply look up and take in all they can see. He points out plenty of things that can be seen without special equipment. Stars, satellites, and even the Andromeda galaxy(仙女座) can be found if you know where to look.
After that, several dozen astronomers offer close-up views. Each has focused their telescope on a different part of the sky. As kids take a look, the owner gives a mini-lesson.
O’Brien says you can have your own star party at home and learn a lot just by paying attention to what's happening up above. "Watch the sky as the seasons pass, and you will see that it changes," he says. "Or start with the moon. Notice when and where you are seeing it—maybe even in the early morning while you wait for the school bus. "
小題1:What was it special about the Star Party ?
A．It was organized by the local authority.
B．It was carried out without any lights.
C．It was so cold that people chatted to cheer up.
D．It was held in the town center of Virginia
小題2:According to the passage, who were involved in the activity ?
a. some invited guests
b. some government officials
c. some experts in astronomy
d. those who were interested in astronomy
e. students who were major in agriculture
A．a(chǎn), c, dB．a(chǎn), d, eC．b, d, eD．c, d, e
小題3:From the passage, we can infer that if you want to see the objects in the sky            .
A．you'd better escape from pollution and sunlight
B．you'd better follow Sean O'Brien's guidance
C．you'd better buy some advanced equipment
D．you'd better make use of your imagination
小題4:Which of the following can be best describe what O'Brien says about discovering the stars'?
A．Roman is not built in a day.
B．No pains, no gains.
C．All roads lead to Roman.
D．Time and tide wait for no man.

Getting close to active or erupting volcanoes can be dangerous. But for Michael Rampino, it’s all in a day’s work. Rampino is a volcanologist, a scientist who studies volcanoes and how they affect our planet. Rampino has been close to red-hot lava flows (熔巖流) in Hawaii and explosive volcanoes in Indonesia. He knows when to get close to an active volcano and when to back away.
Rampino wasn’t always a volcanologist. He worked for NASA for seven years. He studied rocks until he began to research climate change and the effects that volcanoes have on climate. He became interested in the subject. “Once I started working with volcanoes,” Rampino said, “I was hooked.”
Rampino is a professor at New York University. As part of his job, he travels to areas where volcanoes have been active. “Active” means they have erupted within the past few centuries and probably will erupt again. Rampino studies the deposits (沉積物) of ash and other materials from the eruptions. The ash may hold clues to what happened to the Earth in the distant past. It may also help scientists predict what could happen to Earth’s climate in the future.
Rampino doesn’t work alone. He works with a team of scientists who use computers to stimulate (模擬) the effects volcanoes have on Earth’s atmosphere.
Being a volcanologist may be hard work, but it’s also fun. “It’s cool traveling the world studying volcanoes,” Rampino says. When he talks to students about his work, he tells them that his goal is “to understand the events that have shaped Earth’s history.”
小題1:To Rampino, being close to active volcanoes is _____.
A．a(chǎn)dventurous but meaningful
B．scary but necessary
C．impossible and unnecessary
D．dangerous but urgent
小題2:The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.
A．trapped B．touched C．frightenedD．a(chǎn)ttracted
小題3:Rampino’s study on volcanoes might help _____.
A．warn people to protect the environment
B．support the study of Earth’s future climate
C．tell the future eruption time of the volcanoes
D．reduce the possibility of the volcanoes’ eruptions
小題4:In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?
A．Climate. B．History. C．People. D．Business.

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census ( 普查 ) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights. The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals ( 花瓣 ) , are easy to be harmed by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
小題1:It is _________ to see a black flower.
A．impossibleB．seldomC．commonD．no chance
小題2:The passage tells us that ________________.
A．black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up.
B．there is only eight black flowers in nature.
C．sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different.
D．black flowers can take in the light of all the wave lengths which make them dry up because of high temperature.
小題3:Which of the following ideas is NOT true?
A．People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.
B．Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature.
C．Red, orange and yellow flowers can also absorb the light of all wave lengths.
D．The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight.

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius（天才）, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are realistic about what they expect their children to do, and are hopeful in a sensible（明智的） way, the child may succeed －especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although his father is a good musician, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling to.
Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a goal for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he is always quiet and unhappy.
小題1:This passage is mainly about_______.
A．how parents should bring up their children
