| Do you think animals can predict (预报) the weather or other natural events? Farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of years, they have observed animals. They think animals' behavior (行为) can be connected to future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane is coming. Or, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories are just folklore, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence (证据). Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas. Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation (调查) of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake. He noticed some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的; 侵略的) behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly, jumped (猛增) 60 percent! People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. The animal behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people. |
| 1. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| A. What animals do during earthquakes B. Many earthquakes of Japan C. Effect (影响) of natural events on animals' actions D. Folklore and other stories about animals |
| 2. How do dogs begin to behave just before an earthquake? |
| A. They lie down in grass. B. They stay together in large groups. C. They leave their homes. D. They hurt people. |
| 3. What other animals behave strangely before an earthquake? |
| A. Pigs B. Birds C. Cows D. All of the above |
| 4. What did Kiyoshi Shimamura look at during his investigation? |
| A. Animal clinics treating dogs B. The number of patients with bites C. The number of earthquakes a year D. Places dogs go during earthquakes |

| My first performance (表演) in front of an audience was coming up soon. I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands. I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, "Good job!" even if I messed up the entire piece. What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes? As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat. Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys. As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested. Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地). My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me. There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music. When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE! Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my "page-turning" feat (技 艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake. After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible. |
| 1. The author was nervous before the performance because _____. |
| A. her mother and father weren't present B. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stage C. she hadn't mastered the entire piece D. she had never performed in public before |
| 2. The underlined phrase "mess up" in Paragraph 3 probably means _____. |
| A. put into disorder B. forget about C. stop halfway D. do well in |
| 3. The author _____. |
| A. didn't make any mistake in the performance B. felt better at the beginning of the performance C. paid all attention to nothing but her performance D. lost her concentration (注意力) sometimes during the performance |
| 4. What did the author feel about her performance? |
| A. She thought it was comfortable and successful. B. She thought it was very difficult but successful. C. She thought she had never made a mistake during the performance. D. She thought she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly. |

| For Chinese, it's time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi. But in South Korea, wrestling and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th of the lunar calendar. One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教 科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation. As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation (情 况). "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage before China," said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event. "I don't like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea's move," said Jin Yutong, a Senior One student."We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先)." It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet's body. Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture. With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival belongs. "Everyone can say that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. "But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit." |
| 1. Which of the following country is NOT mentioned about the Dragon Boat Festival spreading? |
| A. Japan B. Vietnam C. South Korea D. the United States |
| 2. From the passage, we can see Chinese people's attitude (态度) toward the Dragon Boat Festival is that _____. |
| A. they do not like it B. they want to protect it because it is their cultural heritage C. it is a shame to protect it D. they won't agree South Korea takes it as its own festival |
| 3. Racing boats to celebrate the festival comes from the story that _____. |
| A. people searched for Qu Yuan's body by boat B. people searched for Qu Yuan's boat C. Qu Yuan enjoyed boating D. Qu Yuan liked building boats |
| 4. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs? |
| A. The festival is celebrated in the same way all over the world. B. It matters a lot whose cultural heritage the festival is. C. It is good for the Chinese people to protect the cultural heritage. D. South Korea does not recognize that the festival is from China. |

| One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. William called a family meeting. "We've had to make a difficult decision." Mr. William announced. "You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago. Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we've concluded (下结论) that the right decision is to move to Chicago." Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they'd be moving:"It's surprising, but exciting!" she said. Peter simply said, "We can't go-I can't leave all my friends. I'd rather stay here and live with Tommy!" Mr. and Mrs. William hoped that by the time they moved in August, Peter would grow more accustomed (习惯) to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings (物品). When the morning of the move arrived, Peter was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy's house, but Tommy's mother said she hadn't seen Peter. Mrs. William became increasingly worried, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly (不负责任). What they didn't know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy's house, with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy's attic (阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Peter didn't take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the right size to hold his record collection. |
| 1. The conflict (分歧) in this story was caused by _____. |
| A. Peter and Amy's different tempers (脾气) B. a quarrel (争吵) between Tommy and Peter C. Peter's disagreement with his parents about their move D. Mr. and Mrs. William's words of Peter's irresponsibility |
| 2. Peter and Amy were both _____ after hearing the move. |
| A. surprised B. angry and worried C. anxious for more details D. worried about packing |
| 3. The reason for Peter's going home was that _____. |
| A. he did not want to be left behind B. he realized his family was essential (重要的) with him C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents D. He wished to be a more responsible person |
| 4. What would more probably happen next? |
| A. Peter would bring his records over to the Tommy's house. B. Mr. and Mrs. William would call the police. C. Peter would join his family for house moving. D. Mr. and Mrs. William would start searching for Peter. |
