| "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and care-free. But now...I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮 横的)words:"I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers!" All the lights were off except father's. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it's second to none. |
| 1. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage. a. I opened the door and entered the house. b. Sadly I ran out into the street. c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit. d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me. e. I walked about in the street without any aim. |
| A. b,e,d,c,a B. b,e,c,d,a C. b,e,a,c,d D. b,e,c,a,d |
| 2. What made the writer think of his childhood? |
| A. The sight of the street lights. B. The sight of the empty street. C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms. D. The sight of light in his own house. |
| 3. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son? |
| A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older. B. Perhaps the son has already grown up. C. Perhaps they never agree with each other. D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that. |
| 4. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage? |
| A. The father is actually kind to his son. B. The father treats his son in an unfair way. C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son. D. The father is always finding fault with his son. |

| For photographers lacking training, experience and even the ability to click a shutter button, they produce remarkable pictures. Under the sea, deep in the woods and high in the sky, furry, feathery and leathery-skinned creatures are opening up vistas (远景) by taking cameras where no human can go. This is the world of animal-borne imagine celebrated last month at a conference sponsored(supported) by the National Geographic Society for the 20th anniversary of its Crittercam, the device that started it all. Since its debut (首次公开露面) in 1987 on the back of a turtle, the Crittercam and similar devices developed by others have grown smaller and more powerful. "It's more than just a camera now," said Greg Marshall, the marine biologist and now filmmaker who invented the Crittercam."We are now including more instruments to gather more data while at the same time The idea of attaching video cameras to animals came to Mr. Marshall in 1986 on a dive off Belize when a shark apporoached him. When the animal quickly turned away, he noticed a shark with a sucker fish on its belly. He came up with the idea that putting a camera in place of the sucker fish would allow people to witness the shark's behavior without disturbing it. Crittercams have been attached to sharks, sea lions and other marine animals, and, more recently, to land animals. Birds are a new addition, Mr.Marshall said. Dr. Christian Rutz of Oxford recently reported on tiny cameras called feathercams that monitor the crows in the South Pacific. It has discovered that crows are smarter than anyone knew they not only use twigs (嫩枝) and grass stems as tools to root out food, but they also save their favorite tools to use again. Tracey L.Rogers, director of the Australian Marine Mammal Research Center in Sydney, said crittercam was a powerful tool in her work with leopard seals (豹斑海豹) in Antarctica. "In studying animals," Dr. Rogers said at the meeting,"you want to see how our animal models align (与……一致) with reality. With a camera, you actually see what they do. You don't have to guess." |
| 1. What's the text mainly about? |
|
A. The advantages of crittercam. |
| 2. What inspired Marshall to invent crittercam? |
| A. The sight of sucker fish clinging to a shark on a dive. B. The thought of how to photograph animals better. C. Noticing a shark eating a sucker fish on a dive. D. Seeing a shark with a camera on its belly on a dive. |
| 3. According to Dr. Rogers, crittercam ____. |
| A. can clear up all your doubts about animals B. is the most powerful tool in studying animals C. enabled her to observe the crows in the South Pacific closely D. helped a lot with her research on leopard seals in Antarctica |
| 4. All of the following are improvements of crittercams EXCEPT that ____. |
| A. the size is becoming smaller B. more instruments are involved to gather more data C. they allow researchers to see where and how animals live D. they are able to be applied to smaller animals such as birds |

| High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here's an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you're in that much of a hurry, you probably won't take time to toast the bun. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn't make for better-tasting meals. Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest. Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For examples, most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don't always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing. |
| 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? |
| A. The writer likes high-tech cooking. B. Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals. C. High-tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you. D. Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework. |
| 2. How does the writer feel about high-tech tool? |
| A. Better late than never. B. Easy come, easy go. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Learn to walk before you run. |
| 3. What is the main subject discussed in the text? |
| A. High-tech vs. low-tech. B. Advantages vs. disadvantages. C. Newspapers and magazines vs. television and the Internet. D. Word-processing vs. handwriting. |

| Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image. Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 1 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections. 2 Here are some ideas: Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing acting. 3 . Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don‘t just happen 4 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits. Respect your body! Practicing good habits-regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on-can help you build a positive body image. 5 You body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over. |
| A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at. B. Be yourself. C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look. D. Just explore talents that you feel good about. E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet. F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed. G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? |

| I often quarrel about my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. She holds view that senior one students have to make fully use of every minute to work hard at their lessons. It seems to me that once I am allowed to do that. I will unable to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks it is bad for my eye. But I really can not accept her ideas. In my opinion, watch TV can set my mind at rest after a day's a hard works. Besides, it is important for us to know what had happened at home and at abroad. Thus, we shouldn't be forbidden to watch TV. ________________________________________________________________________________________ |
