       On a November morning in New York, Alan Pakula climbed into his Volvo and began the l00-mile drive from Manhattan to his Long Island house. The well-known movie director (Sophie's Choice, All the President’s Men) had made the mp countless tunes without incident.

       As the 70-year-old Pakula neared Exit 49 on the Long Island Expressway just before noon, a vehicle ahead of him drove over a seven-foot steel bar on the road, kicking it into the air. Within seconds, the bar shot through Pakula's car, smashing into his-forehead and killing him almost instantly. Authorities never determined where the bar came from.

       News reports called it a "freak" accident, which puts it in the same kind as other tragedies to make headlines in recent years, a 22-year-old New Jersey woman was left with broken bones after mining sharply to avoid a deer; a 24-year-old Washington woman needed major reconstructive surgery after a wall unit fell off a truck and smashed into her face; a young couple were killed by a falling tree that crushed their SUV on a suburban New York parkway.

       Though the details of each are unique, these accidents share a common, unsettling theme: the way bidden dangers on, in, and around our roads claim innocent lives.

       It is estimated that there are at least 1.6 million car accidents a year involving trees, animals and vehicle debris (碎片). A Reader's Digest analysis of government data found that in 2007, such crashes caused over 800 deaths. Even scarier: These accidents are increasing. From 2002 to 2007, deaths tied to vehicle debris jumped 43 percent, from 298 a year to 427.Animal-car deaths rose 38 percent, from 152 to 210.

       That's just part of the story. With unexpected crashes just a part of the 6.3 million accidents, 2.9 million injuries and 42, 600 road deaths, they get limited notice compared to drunk driving. That means the root causes go ignored on the documents of the government.

1.Alan Pakula was killed due to _________.

      A.his old age                                     B.a(chǎn) metal debris           

       C.his broken Volvo                             D.careless driving

2.A "freak" accident usually refers to _________.

      A.the headline of a tragedy                B.the action to avoid wild animals

      C.a(chǎn) reconstructive surgery                 D.a(chǎn)n unusual and unexpected event

3.We can infer from the text that drunk driving ________.

      A.leads to at least 1.6 million car accidents a year

      B.is the leading concern over road accidents

      C.gets limited notice by the state government

      D.is a worldwide problem never to be solved

4.The purpose of the author is __________.

       A.to explain the Cause to Alan Pakula's death

      B.to identify what the freak road accidents are

      C.to inform the public of some dangerous roads

      D.to call the government's attention to freak accidents

Monarch Butterfly (金斑蝶) Profile

       Monarch butterflies are known for the unbelievable mass movement that brings millions of them to California and Mexico each winter. North American monarchs are the only butterflies that make such a massive journey-up to 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers). The butterflies must begin this journey each fall ahead of cold weather, which will kill them if they delay too long.

       Monarch butterflies begin life as eggs and hatch as little worms that eat their eggshells and finally, eat the milky plants on which they were placed. When fat worms become juicy, colorful and hairy, they create a hard protective case around themselves as they enter the cocoon stage. They come out as beautifully colored, black-orange-and-white adults. The colorful pattern makes monarchs easy to identify, and the unique pattern warns their enemies that the insects are terribly tasting and poisonous.

       Butterflies that come out from cocoon in late summer and early fall are different from those that do so during the longer days and warmer weather of summer. These monarchs are born to fly, and know that they must prepare for their long journey because of the changing Weather. However, only monarchs born in late summer or early fall make the move, and they make only one found trip. By the time next year's winter moving begins, several summer generations wilt have stayed and died. It will be last year's settlers' great grand children that make the trip. Yet somehow these new generations know the way, and follow the same routes their ancestors took-sometimes even returning to the same tree.

       Many scientists are concerned about the eastern population of monarchs, which spend the summer east of the Rocky Mountains. This group is occurring in ever smaller numbers, and its survival now is threatened by a series of natural disasters in the Mexican winter grounds and by reduced milkweed plants in their summer home.

1.What will happen to the monarch butterflies if they don't leave in fall?

      A.They can't survive the very low temperature, in winter

      B.They can't keep their pattern colour in changeable weather

      C.They will be blown down by the strong wind in winter

      D.They will be separated from each other by the cold weather

2.Form the passage we can learn that Monarchs ____________.

      A.feed on their own eggs instead of milky plants

      B.experience three life stages before they can fly

      C.a(chǎn)re difficult to be picked out from other insects

      D.a(chǎn)re very delicious, though they are poisonous

3.Which of the following about Monarchs is TRUE?

      A.Monarchs seem to know their ancestor's hometown

      B.Only last year's settlers' grandchildren make the trip

      C.All the summer generations will have stayed and died

      D.Only monarchs born in early autumn make the move

4.The writer seems             about the present survival situation of Monarchs.

      A.confident            B.worried        C.disappointed       D.hopeful

The history of the United States is a history of people on the move. The Native Americans came to North America thousands of years ago. Some of them built villages and stayed there, but many moved from place to place.

The first travelers from Europe came to live in an unknown land. At first, they stayed near the coast, but then a few brave men went west, far into the country. Two of them were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. In 1804, they started on their long journey from St. Lois, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. They followed the Missouri River west, went across the Rocky Mountains, and followed the Columbia River to the Pacific. Then, they turned around, and traveled back to St. Louis.

During the next 150 years, millions of poor people came from the old cities of Europe. They built the new cities of US, and farmed the land. But they did not always stay in their new cities or on their farms. Many people moved on, deeper and deeper into the new land. Some followed religious leaders like Joseph Smith. He and his followers the Mormons(摩門教徒), built Salt Lake City in Utah. Others went to look for gold. After the California Gold Rush in 1849, San Francisco grew from a village to a city in only a few years.

People are still moving to the US and finding new homes there. Up to 1 million people come into the United States from Mexico in one year. At the same time, many more arrive from the Pacific nations and regions—from the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and also from Central and South America. The history of the US is still on the move.

1.Which of the following is NOT true about settlers from Europe?

      A.They came to North America thousands of years ago.

      B.Joseph Smith and his followers built Salt Lake City in Utah.

      C.They didn’t always stay in their new cities or on their farm.

      D.A few brave men went west, far into the country.

2.People from the following countries or regions except _______ are mentioned as still moving to the U.S.

      A.Mexico                                               B.Pacific nations and regions

      C.Central America                                   D.South Africa

3.Which of the following pictures describes the route of Lewis and Clark’s journey?

A                        B

C                            D

4.What does the underlined word “regions” in the last paragraph probably mean?

      A.countries             B.islands                 C.a(chǎn)reas                   D.states

     Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get

a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.

At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.

Many people think it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.

Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving. A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.

1.Many parents give children an allowance regularly to          .

       A.meet children’s basic need for life

       B.give control over their children

       C.see whether they have financial mistakes

       D.help children learn how to manage money

2.For Children who receive allowances, they’d better not          .

       A.waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends

       B.buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves

       C.save money like their parents or other adults

       D.a(chǎn)sk for the next allowance before the decided date

3.If children are required to save their allowance, they          .

      A.can experience the three tings related to money

       B.can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice

       C.will do more work around the house

       D.help themselves found the basis for their future life

4.What does the underlined phrases “compound interest” mean?

       A.The interest based on the original money and unpaid interest.

       B.A way of helping children earn two percent interest.

       C.The interest intended for children to earn money.

       D.  A saving account opened for children’s allowance.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

       A.How to Give Children an Allowance

       B.Spend Your Allownace within a Budget

       C.Allowance Helps Children Learn about Money.

       D.Doing Housework Earns Children Allowance

Are you ready to do your bit to stop global warming? On Saturday, March 29, you will have a chance-to tell Toronto and the entire world that you are devoted to doing your part.

You can do it by turning off your lights during Earth Hour, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Started last year by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia, Earth Hour this year is going international, with 17 cities signed up so far, including Toronto.

The challenge for us Torontonians will be to show we are as devoted to fighting global warming as Sydneysiders were last year. Of course, one hour of darkness isn't going to stop global warming. But the thinking behind Earth Hour is that it gets people personally involved(加入). Besides giving people a chance to show their concerns over climate change, the goal is to get them to start changing their wasteful habits. Did you know, for example, that your electronic devices(設(shè)備) that you think you've turned off are still drawing power if you leave them plugged in?

If you want to make a difference, sign up today and promise to turn off your lights when Earth Hour arrives on March 29. Persuade others to do their part. Start to think about changes that can be made in your home and your workplace that will cut down on waste and greenhouse gas.

1. What can be the best title for the passage?

A. A Chance to Help Save the Earth               B. A Chance to Help Prevent Pollution

C. An Hour to Fight Against Bad Habits            D. An Hour to Keep Climate Unchanged
