         I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself. And  1  
    assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always    2  to sit at the back of the classroom.
         All this    3   after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the
    basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy   4   because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor
    did I have the   5   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the

         I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   4   and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and
    motivating. Very soon the competitive   5   in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I
    learned how to play and made friends in the process (过程) - friends who respected my   6   to work
    hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!    
         With my     7     self-confidence comes more praise (赞扬) from teachers and classmates. I have gone

    hand-even when I sometimes wasn't and not 100 percent   20   I had the right answer. Now I have more

         In 1901,H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the
    explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They
    expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their
    surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner
    space?"
         H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the
    moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question
    that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously
    thinking about it.
         Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities,
    such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel",a
    tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.
         But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground
    systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using
    underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.
         Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way
    to use the earth's space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells "moon people" would agree. Would you?
    1. The explorers in H.G. Well's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"       .
    A. knew so much about the earth        
    B. understood their language
    C. lived in so many underground cities    
    D. were ahead of them in space technology
    2. What sorts of underground system are already here with us?
    A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations  
    B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas
    C. Gardens, car parks, power stations      
    D. Tunnels, gardens, offices
    3. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Alice Cities-cities of the future      
    B. Space travel with H.G. Wells
    C. Enjoy living underground
    D. Building down, not up

        Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born in Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775,
    and died on July 18,1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices(偏见)of her times
    forced her to have her books published anonymously.(匿名).
          But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and
    visitors. She paid two long visits during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to
    1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger
    Addey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it,
    keeping its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels.
    Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强)by visiting the Jane Austen
    Center in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more
    about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.
         The Center has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After
    your visit to the Center, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane
    Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep
    the children busy.
         You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about
    Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours.
    The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.
    1. Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath__________ .
    A. in her early twenties    
    B. in her early teens
    C. in her late twenties      
    D. in her late teens
    2. What can we learn about Bath from the passage?

    B. The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it.
    C. Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time.

         Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run
    away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can
    defend (保护) themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
         Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant
    have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more
    spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to
    reach.
    Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some
    grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.
         Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an
    unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the
    caterpillar.
        Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance,
    has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液) A single experience with
    this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.  
    1. To defend themselves, oak trees use________.
    A. chemical means
    B. physical means
    C. bitter chemicals
    D. sandy materials
    2. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
    A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
    B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
    C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
    D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
    3. What would be the best title for this passage?
    A. Plants and Animals    
    B. How Plants Defend Themselves
    C. Attacks and Defenses    
    D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves

         Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and
    researching something with so few obvious benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather
    than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
        Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our
    ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The
    wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring
    space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
       Nearly every successful civilization(文明) has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in
    surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely
    destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
        Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have
    no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical
    possessions(物质财产). Knowledge or techniques have been gained through exploration. The
    techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have
    already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for
    weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are
    by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!.
        While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows
    creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While
    space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also
    holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to
    reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
       While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive(适应的) ability of humans
    would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and
    cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
    1. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?
    A. To express his doubts.          
    B. To compare different ideas.
    C. To introduce points for discussion.  
    D. To describe the conditions on Earth.
    62. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?
    A. Humans are nature-born to do so.
    B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
    C.  Humans may find new sources of food.
    D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.
    3. The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.
    A. survival chances        
    B. potential resources
    C. unexpected benefits    
    D. physical possessions
    4. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?  
    A. Our genetic makeup.        
    B. Resources on the earth.
    C. The adaptive ability of humans.
    D. By-products in space exploration.
    5. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage? 
    A. Space exploration has created many wonders.
    B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.
    C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
    D. The Exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
