| The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said:"Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go." Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said,"Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison." Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. "Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?" she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying."Of course", he said, "I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads." And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand. Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said,"You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed." In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother. |
| 1. The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that _____. |
| A. he found Alfred was in fact innocent B. he should have called a policeman in first C. Alfred's mother appeared polite and gentle D. he thought he was partly responsible for it |
| 2. Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr? |
| A. "Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid." B. "I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!" C. "You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up." D. "Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law." |
| 3. What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to? |
| A. Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills. B. Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings. C. Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred. D. Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman. |
| 4. After the incident, young Alfred would probably _____. |
| A. feel ashamed of his mother B. change his attitude towards life C. learn to live an independent life D. hate Mr. Carr for hurting his mother |

| No one wants to be tested.We would all like to get a driver' s license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam. But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a.constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. They tell teachers what their students have learned--and have not. They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort. It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high-quality education.The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign language. This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access to a high-quality education.Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests.Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs.In their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate from highschool. |
| 1. According to the passage, school exams enable ______. |
| A. teachers to understand if their students have made efforts B. parents to compare their kids'achievements across schools C. students to meet their teachers' requirements D. governments to make right policies |
| 2. "Dumbed-down programs" in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which _____. |
| A. lead to high-quality education B. are less academically challenging C. are intended for intelligent students D. enable children to make steady progress |
| 3. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? |
| A. Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. B. Tests should focus on what students have actually learned. C. Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high-quality education. D. Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones. |
| 4. What is the purpose of the passage? |
| A. To re-assess the value of IQ testing. B. To defend the role of testing in education. C. To explain what high-quality education means. D. To call for thorough and complete reform in education. |

| We've all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles (腹肌). It's easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist. And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches (仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury- like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise. The fact is that many Americans don't have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can't lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch of fat. That's enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day. So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as "Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets." Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer. Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the "Captain's Chair", a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results. |
| 1. Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles? |
| A. Torso Track. B. Ab-Doer. C. Captain's Chair. D. Body Shaper-Q8SP. |
| 2. According to the author, it's difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because _____. |
| A. they do not put in enough efforts B. injuries interrupt their exercise frequently C. they change their exercise routine regularly D. how big their muscles will be is determined by birth |
| 3. The author convinces the readers by _____. |
| A. describing successful cases B. offering professional suggestions C. presenting findings of researches D. comparing advertisements of products |
| 4. What's the main purpose of this passage? |
|
A. To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine. |

| Stingrays (黄貂鱼) Stingrays are pancake-shaped fish, and you'd never guess it: they're close cousins of sharks.The smallest kinds are about the size of a dinner plate. But some 4-metre stingrays live in the waters near Australia. About 170 different kinds of stingrays live in the oceans around the world. And some live in freshwater too. In South America, a few kinds swim in the Amazon and other rivers that flow into the Atlantic. One ocean kind, the Atlantic stingray, also lives in the St. Johns River in Florida. A stingray has a mouth and nostrils (鼻孔) on the bottom of its body. These nostrils are for smelling, not for breathing. When water flows into a stingray's nostrils, the fish may pick up the smells of creatures it wants to eat. It can also find prey (牺牲者) by sensing the tiny amount of electricity that animals give off. Slowly, slowly the fish hunts by moving along the ocean or river bottom. When it senses a worm, clam, shrimp, or other creature, it flaps (拍打) its fins until the prey is uncovered. Then the fish lies down over the prey, sucks it in, and crunches it with its small teeth. A stingray's flat shape helps it hide. It stirs up a cloud of sand by flapping its big, flat fins. When the sand settles down over the fish, everything is covered but its eyes, breathing holes, and sometimes its tail. Its tail gave the"sting" to a stingray's name. When a stingray is attacked by an enemy, it whips its tail around. Then a sharp stinger releases a powerful poison into the enemy. When stingrays are on the ocean bottom, it's easy for a diver to step on one by mistake. Then the fish usually stings the person in the ankle. The poison is very painful, and the wound may hurt for a day or two. Worse yet, pieces of the stinger can break off and infect the ankle. But stingrays don't chase after prey or people to sting them. In fact, divers can swim among friendly stingrays without getting hurt.  |
| 1. Why did the author write the article "Stingrays"? |
| A. To tell readers an exciting story about the ocean. B. To give readers facts about an interesting fish. C. To warn readers about dangers in the ocean. D. To teach readers how fish hunt their prey. |
| 2. It is easy for a diver to step on a stingray by mistake because stingrays ______. |
| A. are of many different sizes B. can cover themselves with sand C. move slowly above the ocean floor D. live in freshwater as well as in oceans |
| 3. Why does a stingray flap its fins when it feels prey? |
| A. To smell the prey. B. To escape from the prey. C. To find the prey. D. To frighten the prey. |
| 4. How might a sting from a stingray become infected? |
| A. Poison from the stinger gets into the wound. B. Pieces of the stinger come loose in the wound. C. Electricity from the stinger shocks the wound. D. Fins beside the stinger throw sand into the wound. |
