| When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk (冒…危险) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. "Storm chasing (追逐)" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving," says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing."Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers." However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth". |
| 1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. head straight for the center of the storm B. get into the car for safety C. wait patiently for the storm to develop D. collect information about a coming storm |
| 2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. not to drive in a heavy rain B. to do it in an organized way C. not to get too close to a storm D. to spend more time on it in summer |
| 3. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph, the author means that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. storm chasing costs a lot of money B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid D. a storm present is the greatest show on Earth |
| 4. What can we learn from the text? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment. B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms. C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world. D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people. |

| The meaning of the word "volunteer" may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means "one who offers his or her services." There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage (垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay. At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta. The following is her story. "I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video (录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks." "I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture (文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world." |
| 1. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. is willing to help those in need without pay B. can afford to travel to different places C. has a strong wish to be successful D. has made a lot of money in life |
| 2. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. after she met Mother Teresa B. after she finished high school C. when she was touring Calcutta D. when she was working in a hospital |
| 3. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer? |
|
[ ] |
| A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B. She had already had some experience. C. She was asked by Mother Teresa. D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa's example. |
| 4. What is Tracy's "new idea" (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Working in Mother Teresa's home. C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Improving oneself through helping others. |

| People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained-and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress. Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult (成人) roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Taylor's fame (名声) and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest pay received by any star up to that time. Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky. She has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others - several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education. |
| 1. The producers didn't let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. was small in size B. was too young C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest |
| 2. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. popular all their lives B. famous actresses C. successful when very young D. rich and kind-hearted |
| 3. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. 12 B. 28 C. 31 D. 34 |
| 4. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor buried herself in _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. doing business and helping others B. turning herself into a legend C. collecting money for the poor D. going about research and education work |

| Five million people visit Grand Canyon in the US every year. For the purpose of helping protect Grand Canyon for your fellow visitors and future generations, please follow the guidelines below.

Hungry deer can be dangerous and they have kicked and bitten visitors at Grand Canyon. Some other animals will also beg and bite.

| Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language. There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language and about the same number who have learnt it besides their mother tongue. It is said there are one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of "mono-culturalism", a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music? Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary (相反), I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan (the same situation with India)… If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald's burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant (占主导地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but also one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well. When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. "The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it's like a rose," he said. "But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?" Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don't necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that's fine by me. |
| 1. By saying "Ask the people of India … and Pakistan" (in Paragraph 4), the author is trying to show that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. speaking the same language doesn't necessarily bring peace B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries C. English doesn't kill other languages D. English is widely used in the world |
| 2. What does "rose" in the last two paragraphs stand for? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The world B. Family C. Language D. The Earth |
| 3. The author would probably agree that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. it's very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden B. it's good for people from other countries to learn English C. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens D. English is easier to learn than other languages |
| 4. This passage is mainly about _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. why English has become a global language B. how many people in the world speak English C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language D. whether we need to worry about English being a world language |
