| One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather's belongings when he came across a bright red envelope. Written on the 1 were the words, "To my grandson." 2 it was his grandfather's handwriting, the boy opened the envelope. A letter inside read: Dear Ronny, Years ago, you 3 to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how is it that you've 4 so much in your life? You're still full of 5 , but I'm already tired of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you've got?" I didn't know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are 6 , I figure that I 7 you an answer. So here is what I believe. I think it has something to 8 with how a person looks at things. I call it "keeping your eyes wide open". First, realize that life is filled with surprises, but many are good ones. If you don't keep 9 for them, you'll miss half the excitement. Expect to be excited 10 , and you will be. When you meet up with 11 , welcome them. They'll leave you wiser, stronger, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be 12 for the things it taught you. Learn to use that lesson to help you reach your goals. It's also important to 13 exactly what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it, and be prepared to receive it. As you grow with the years, you'll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings as well as challenging 14 . Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn't just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one 15 to the next. If you 16 too long in between, you might be tempted to 17 . So consider all the pathways ahead, and decide which ones to 18 . Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going. Most important of all, never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the one who resolves (决定) to 19 . Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best 20 to you. | ||||

| Water Safety To Rescue a Drowning Person Don't jump in to save a drowning person unless you are a trained lifesaver. The victim may pull you under. Instead, try to toss (抛) a life preserver if you have one. Anything that will float can save the person's life. A beach ball, a vacuum jug, or a picnic chest will also help. The National Safety Council points out that many drowning could be prevented if people knew all the common objects that float well enough to help a drowning person. If you are in a boat, or you can find one, use the boat to try to reach the person in trouble. Turn the boat so the victim can grab the stern. Don't stand up to help the victim. Stay seated so the boat won't overturn. Try to balance the boat as the person climbs aboard. If the boat overturns, stay hanging on to the side for a while to relax before trying to right it. |
| 1. What kind of things should you throw to a person in trouble in the water? |
|
[ ] |
| A. A belt. B. A cardboard box. C. Something that floats. D. Something large and heavy. |
2. Which sentence belongs to the empty box?  |
|
[ ] |
| A. Jump into water and swim to them. B. Paddle the boat towards the coast. C. Stand up and shout for help. D. Turn rear (后部) of boat towards the person in the water. |
| 3. The first paragraph helps the reader understand why _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. there are so few drowning accidents B. people are often drowned themselves when they try to save a drowning person C. so many drowning people are able to save themselves D. it is important to drink plenty of fluids before swimming |

| Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it's a hot topic discussed by people. The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial (皇帝的) family being a good example, have hereditary (遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born. Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture (生产) human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology. |
| 1. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases. B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby. C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease. D. Hereditary diseases and cancer. |
| 2. What's the main idea of the third paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby. B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies. C. How gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases. D. Gene technology can solve all the problems of the English imperial family. |
| 3. In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Gene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer. B. Using gene technology, scientists find the wrong gene and correct it. C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned. D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology. |
| 4. What is the main purpose of writing this passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people. B. Telling people the advantages and disadvantages of gene technology. C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people. D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity. |

| Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames (绰号). Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence (影响) on the world of music. Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, "Jazz and I grew up together." Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy's home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that travelled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal. In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song. His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, "Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over." He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world. |

|
[ ] |

| I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks great on you." "Oh, Tom, you noticed", she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. "What's the matter?" I asked her. "Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "I don't?" "What do you mean?" "Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me…am I dying?" It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing. "No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live." |
| 1. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. with his family B. with Evelyn C. alone D. with his children |
| 2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. he was determined to be a good husband B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm C. she looked lovely in her new clothes D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill |
| 3. The author says, "There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment." What does "one thing" refer to? |
|
[ ] |
| A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her. B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated. C. He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her. D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying. |
| 4. By saying "I'm just starting to live," Tom means that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before |

| The British are the most voracious (如饥似渴的) newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at breakfast; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on bus, as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engaged in reading an evening newspaper. There are many "morning papers", both national and provincial. The most famous is The Times. Different from what many foreigners believe, this is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, but they are not organs of the political parties, with the exception of the Communist Morning Star. The Labor Party and the Trades Union Congress no longer have a daily newspaper to represent them. Bold headlines and a variety of photographs are features of the British press. Some newspapers, such as the sober Daily Telegraph and The Times, use photographs sparingly (节省). The more "popular" newspapers, using the small or "tabloid" (小报) format, such as the Daily Express, the Mail, the Daily Mirror and the Sun, use pictures extensively and also run strip cartoons and humorous drawings, some of which present striking pictorial comment on politics. Besides offering features common to newspapers all over the world, British newspapers specialize in pages devoted to criticism of the arts and a woman's page. One feature found in many foreign newspapers is missing in British papers: the serial (连载). Nearly all papers pay special attention to the reporting of sports and athletics. The evening newspapers are often bought because the buyer wants to know the winner of a race, or to get good tip for a race that is still to be run. There is no censorship (审查) of the press in Britain (except in wartime), though of course all newspapers-like private persons-are responsible for what they publish, and can be sued for libel (为诽谤而 被起诉) for publishing articles that go beyond the bounds of decency (正派), or for ignorance of court. (e.g. calling a man a murderer while he is still being tried. Such cases are not often) |
| 1. Which of the following does NOT serve as an evidence (证据) that the British are the great newspaper readers? |
|
[ ] |
| A. They read newspapers at breakfast. B. They read newspapers at work. C. They read newspapers on bus. D. They read newspapers on the way back home. |
| 2. Many of foreigners think that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. The Times is an organ (喉舌) of the government B. The Times has its own views on politics C. The Times is the most famous newspaper in the world D. The Times pays too much attention to the reporting of political events |
| 3. British newspapers are characterized by _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. bold headlines B. various kinds of photographs C. striking pictorial comment on politics D. both A and B |
| 4. Which of the following conclusions can NOT be drawn from the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Englishmen always take every possible chance to read newspapers. B. In Britain, newspapers must be carefully examined by the authorities (当局) before their publication for fear that they present anything offensive. C. Few British newspapers publish libelous articles. D. The Times is one of the world-famous newspapers. |
