My mother had been gone from my life for a year when my father took my sister, Kate, and me to visit her. It was about an hour from our home to Camarillo State   1  , but it might as well have been halfway around the world for how   2   we saw each other.

A   3   curtain had fallen when Mom left. Sitting on the grass, Kate and I, eight and five years old, were   4  , subdued (悶悶不樂的) by the unsettling prospect of what   5   Mom would be in. What would she look like? How would she   6  ?

Reports from the doctors   7   she’d been going through some tough times,  8   the first six months, my father said. She cried a lot, and at night, when she   9  Kate and me, the doctors tranquilized (calm sb. using a drug) her.

  10  , walking toward us in the distance, we saw her, or   11   we thought was her. But this woman seemed old and unsteady on her feet as she walked along,  12   the arm of a man in a white uniform.

I felt goose bumps springing on my arms. Yes, it was Mom. But her red   13  , once so thick and shiny, was now dry and wild, all the natural waves gone.  14   so attentive and full of life, Mom seemed tired, her eyes sad, searching. Her face   15   me most. Webs of broken blood vessels crisscrossed her skin, providing a map of the violence she had endured (忍受). It would be years before I understood better what had happened to her: She and many other patients had been given, against their   16  , electroshock treatments.

Sitting down on the blanket, Mom  17   us close, first Kate and then me. I had   18   this moment, figured everything would return to normal once I fell into her embrace (懷抱). She would   19    again and take care of me; she would play the piano as she loved to. We would be a   20   again.

Bob Butler lost his legs in a 1965 land mine explosion in Vietnam. He returned home a war hero. Twenty years later, he proved once again that heroism comes from the heart.

Butler was working in his garage in a small town in Arizona on a hot summer day when he heard a woman’s screams coming from a nearby house.  He rolled his wheelchair toward the house, but the dense bush wouldn’t allow him to access to the back door. So he got out of his chair and crawled through the dirt and bushes.

    “I had to get there,” he says. “It didn’t matter how much it hurt.”

When Butler arrived at the house, he traced the screams to the pool, where a three-year-old girl was lying at the bottom. She had been born without arms and had fallen in the water and couldn’t swim. Her mother stood over her baby screaming loudly. Butler dove to the bottom of the pool and brought little Stephanie up to the deck. Her face was blue, she had no pulse and she was not breathing.

Butler immediately went to work performing CPR (心肺復蘇) to revive her while Stephanie’s mother telephoned the fire department. She was told the rescue team were already out on a call.  Helplessly, she sobbed and hugged Butler’s shoulder.

As Butler continued with his CPR, he calmly reassured Stephanie’s mother. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I was her arms to get out of the pool. It’ll be okay. I’m now her lungs. Together we can make it.”

Seconds later the little girl coughed, regained consciousness and began to cry.  As they hugged and rejoiced together, the mother asked Butler how he knew it would be okay.

“When my legs were blown off in the war, I was all alone in a field,” he told her. “No one was there to help except a little Vietnamese girl. As she struggled to drag me into her village, she whispered in broken English, ‘It okay. You can live. I be your legs. Together we make it.’”

“This was my chance,” he told Stephanie’s mom, “to return the favor.”

1.Butler lost his legs           .

      A.while working

       B.in a coal mine

       C.in the war – field

       D.while he was working with the Vietnamese girl

       A.a fire was burning

       B.she wanted the people in the fire brigade to help her

       C.her daughter was helpless

       D.she believed that Butler could not help her

3.When Stephanie was first brought up from the pool, she was         .

       A.unconscious        B.dead                    C.drowned             D.coughing

4.After Stephanie’s mother telephoned the fire department, she knew           .

      A.the rescuers would soon arrive

       B.only Butler could save her daughter

       C.the rescue team was sure to save her daughter

       D.the rescue team was not coming soon

5.What does Butler mean by saying “This was my chance to return the favor?”

       A.It was his duty to help those in danger.

       B.He was once given the honor as a hero.

       C.He wanted to answer for what the Vietnamese girl had done to him.

       D.It was a chance for him to show his heroism to his neighbour.

The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and ,a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.

These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present a mount.

Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”

He said water saving will help keep the sustainable (可持續(xù)性) development of China’ s economy.

Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure (基礎設施) costs by 10,000 yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.

“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”

Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.

The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.

Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.

At present, the city has 600 000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated (整修) to use only 9 liters of water per flush.

The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of 40 yuan each.

In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million yuan every year in water conservation.

Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage (污水) to improve the water environment.

At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion yuan.

1.People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from         now.

       A.the underground                                  B.the rain

       C.the Yangtze River                                 D.the Huangpu River

2.According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using water because      .

       A.the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of water

       B.about half of waste water has been treated already

       C.advanced technology makes people use water as much as possible

       D.there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present

3.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to          .

      A.make people’s living more convenient    B.improve people’s living standards

       C.ease employment pressure                    D.meet the total demand of water

4.Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water?

       a.improve drinking water quality               b.change some industrial structure

       c.introduce or use some new technology   d.speed the economic development of Shanghai

       e.renovate some family toilets                   f.build more sewage treatment factories

       A.a, b, c, d             B.b, c, e, f              C.b, c, d, e             D.a, b, e, f 

5.We can infer from the passage that          .

       A.the boom of economy will need a larger amount of water in the future

       B.citizens today in Shanghai drink the best quality of water in the world

       C.not everyone today in Shanghai is aware of water shortage

       D.all the family toilets will be renovated to save water within 3 years

There are many acceptable varieties of English throughout the world. Whichever variety is used in your country, the most important thing is that students’ pronunciation must be good enough for another person to understand what they are trying to say.

In a PPP lesson, teachers naturally include a good model of the pronunciation when they are presenting new vocabulary, grammar or functional language. It is important to start by helping your students recognise sounds before you expect them to produce them.

Spoken British English has 44 sounds, but there are only 26 letters in the alphabet for written English. This sometimes makes English pronunciation and spelling different, so it is not always best to write words on the blackboard at the early stages. Also, some sounds in English do not exist in some other languages. This can make it very difficult for students to recognize these sounds and even more difficult for them to pronounce them correctly. So some students need to do a lot of work on these sounds, listening to them, trying to recognize them and trying to copy them.

If you can understand and pronounce the symbols of the phonetic alphabet, this will help you to pronounce any word in the dictionary. You can teach this phonetic alphabet to your students and this will make teaching pronunciation much easier. However, you can teach pronunciation effectively without knowing the phonetic alphabet. Pronouncing English well is not just about getting the individual sounds right. Students need to know:

* which parts of a word are stressed (spoken louder and longer);

* which parts of a sentence are stressed;

* basic intonation patterns;

* what it means when we change the intonation in a sentence (the music of the language);

* how to link together the sounds within a sentence.

Students need practice in all these areas to improve their pronunciation.

1.The passage is most probably from               .

       A.a book for English learning                   B.a book for English teaching

       C.a grammar book for English learning      D.an ad for English teaching

2.Following up the passage, the author will probably           .

       A.emphasize the importance of correct pronunciation

       B.say how to teach the phonetic alphabet

       C.write about how to teach pronunciation without the phonetic alphabet

       D.explain in detail how to practise the five suggestions

3.Which of the following can NOT prove that English pronunciation is difficult?

       A.There are more sounds than letters in English.

       B.English contains some unique sounds that other languages don’t have.

       C.Knowing how to pronounce every word doesn’t mean pronouncing English well.

       D.Students’ pronunciation must be good enough.

4.In the author’s opinion,               .

       A.students should pronounce every word as precisely as native speakers

       B.the English phonetic alphabet is a must in teaching pronunciation

       C.it is not necessary to pronounce every word correctly

       D.pronunciation means more than knowing how to pronounce every single word

5.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

       A.The English Phonetic Alphabet and Pronunciation

       B.Suggestions on Teaching English Pronunciation

       C.Other Things to Be Done besides Pronouncing Every Word.

       D.Listening Comes First in Teaching Pronunciation

The Union Army will be remembered as winning the Civil War. Yet Darwin’s Theory of Evolution may change as may Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. Unlike history or basic mathematics, the world of science changes infinitely.

Science is unique because every day something new is discovered, often changing or challenging older theories. Science, from quarks and leptons to the galaxy clusters (星系) of our universe, holds immeasurable secrets that are exposed every day. With each new discovery the human race decodes a few more words of the ancient scroll that is the universe. Day by day, we decipher (譯解) the code of the universe. Unlike history and literature which can be explored only so far, science is endless. Its beauty is that it represents the past, the present, and the future; there may always be something new to discover.

No matter how well humans understand the universe, science will still have a long future. This fact has been proved clearly to me by the diverse modifications (修正) I have witnessed in science in just my 17 years. In less than two decades, I have witnessed an enormous advance in technology as well as general knowledge of science. Surgeries that were thought complex at my birth are now routine, and computers once classified as advanced are out of date. Pluto, which during my childhood was considered a planet of our solar system, has been reclassified.

If such dramatic developments can occur in such a short time, who knows what the world will be like by the next century? This makes science distinctive; the realization that a more efficient technique to solve the world’s most thorny troubles may be just around the bend. Perhaps an efficient way will soon be discovered to kill certain cancer cells or get rid of HIV. Science is enthralling (迷人的) because the answers to these troubles that upset the world today exist and could be discovered at any moment.

1.According to the passage, the charm of science is that           .

       A.it can cure kinds of cancers and AIDS now

       B.it makes complex computer easy to use

       C.it develops endlessly and will find solutions sooner or later

       D.it helps human race decodes a few more ancient words

2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

       A.Some theories or opinions that seem true in some time may be incomplete.

       B.Humans today have already understood the universe quite well.

       C.The author is an experienced scientist in the field of universe.

       D.Surgeries and computers stand for the advanced development of science.

3.The author quoted Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and Newton’s Three Laws of Motion because             .

       A.their theories have been out of date already

       B.their theories prove wrong today

       C.some basic theories maintain unchangeable

       D.science would change infinitely, some famous theories included

4.What will the future world be like in the author’s opinion?

       A.No thorny troubles will exist any longer.

       B.Fast developing science makes the future world beyond imagination.

       C.Diseases such as cancers and HIV will disappear.

       D.Science will develop as fast in next century as present.

5.The author writes the article mainly to           .

       A.describe the fascination of the developing science

       B.state how complex science is developing

       C.distinguish the new theories from the old ones

       D.imagine the convenient future life provided by science

Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:

Break a bad habit.

You don’t really “break” habits. You replace the unwanted behavior with some thing that prevents you from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible (不能共存的) with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.

Grow your marriage.

Relationships are negotiated, and the negotiation never stops. It’s always a give- and – take, always requires work. It’s like if you planted a garden and came back six months later – you wouldn’t even be able to find it. You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, deal with the problems.

Beat stress.

My dog, Maggie, is the best anti – stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and                            . Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.

Refocus your anger.

Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean, and you can’t un – ring that bell. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration (挫折),and deal with the causes rather than blow up. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.

Don’t medicate with food.

It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, Hey, I’ve got a problem.

1.What’s the best title? (Please answer within 10 words.)

2.Fill in the blank in the passage in your own words. (Please answer within 10 words.)

3.Translate the underlined sentence in the passage.

4.Which sentence in the passage is the closet in meaning to the following one?

    You do something without any bad effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.

5.Why does the writer mention gardens when he is supposed to say something about marriage?

(Please answer within 30 words.)
