| Nine-year-old Jack Russell terrier George is being honored with a bravery medal for saving five New Zealand children from an attack by two pit bulls. The medal from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ( SPCA ) comes after former US Marine Jerrell Hudman said he was sending his Purple Heart medal to George's owner after hearing of the dog's bravery. Feisty, 30cm tall George, who had a heart problem, fought with the pit bulls to keep them from attacking the youngest of five children as they returned home from buying sweets at a neighborhood shop in the small North Island town of Manaia on April 29. The Jack Russell was badly injured in the fight. "It was an extraordinary act of heroism" said the animal protection society's chief executive, Robyn Kippenberger. Authorities have killed the two pit bulls, and their owner faces prosecution for owning dangerous and unconotrolled dogs. Kippenberger said her group's award, the SPCA medal, normally given to humans for bravery in aiding animals, has not been awarded to a dog since 1990. The two previous dog winners were trained police dogs. "That he weighed into a couple of dogs much larger than himself, clearly to protect a child, is just a most amazing act and needs to be recognized," she told The Associated Press. The bravery medal will be presented to George's owner at the children's school. Meanwhile, former US marine Jerrell Hudman told the local Taranaki Herald newspaper that he would honor the terrier's bravery by mailing to New Zealand one of the three Purple Heart medals he was awarded for service in Vietnam in 1967. Purple Hearts are given to US troops wounded or killed in battles. Hudman 58, of Austin, Texas, described George as a "little warrior" who deserved the honor. 1. How many medals were given to George for his bravery act? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four 2. What's true about the two pit bulls? A.Their owner has killed them because of prosecution. B.They were honored with a bravery medal. C.They are dangerous and uncontrolled D.They saved five children against an attack. 3. The bravery medal is usually given to ______. A.whoever defends animals bravely B.people who train police dogs successfully C.those who protect children during their daily life D.solider wounded or killed in the battle 4. The text mainly wants to tell us ______. A. which kind of dog is brave most B. a dog gets medals for saving kids C. the career of Jerrel Hudman D. the function of Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals |

| Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle. There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(冷却成 液体). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapour. The vapour rises onto the air. Water vapour is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle or pond in a mist above the water. Water vapour also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It contains even if snow or hail fall instead because both eventually melt and form water. The amount of water vapour is more in the air tropics than in the cold polar regions. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Water cycle. B. Water vapour. C. How rain forms. D. Water, vapour, rain. 2. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text? A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six 3. Whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on_____. A. how much water is evaporated B. how good your eyes are C. in which way water is evaporated D. climate or weather 4. From the passage, we get to know_____. A. there is more water vapour in the air tropics than in cold polar regions B. there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor D. the amount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains |

| In 1982 Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He was out of the shipping lanes and floating in a life raft, alone. His supplies were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive. His account of how he survived is fascinating. But the thing that caught my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost. Giving up would have seemed the only wise option. When people survive these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad. "I tell myself I can handle it," wrote Callahan. "Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, building up fortitude(坚强意志)…." It struck me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my senses. The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through much worse. So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength. Whatever you're going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with a little more fortitude. 1. The writer seemed more interested in ______. A. something that made Steven Callahan want to cross the Atlantic B. What made Steven Callahan live through the circumstances C. what Steven Callahan thought of in the ban circumstances D. what was wrong with his boat on the half way 2. From the third paragraph we can infer that ______. A. the state of mind means one's life or death B. keeping up one's spirit is especially easy for one C. most people have good physiological quality D. bad conditions can strengthen one's will 3. How did Steven Callahan build up his confidence in difficulty? A. By comparing himself with others. B. By trying over and over again to call help. C. By encouraging himself once and again. D. By trying out different ways of how to survive. 4. What did the writer get from the experience of Steven Callahan? A .One shouldn't lose heart when in difficulty. B. Encouragement comes from one's behaviors. C. The strength of example is endless. D. To experience the difficulty does good to one person. |

| Do more species develop in warm, tropical climates or cooler, temperate areas? It turns out the longtime answer-the tropics - may be wrong. True, more different types of animals exist there than in places farther from the equator. New research suggests that is because tropical species do not die out as readily. Cooler regions have a higher turnover rate, with more species developing but also more becoming extinct. By analyzing the DNA of 618 mammal and bird species that lived in the past several million years, they were able to determine that new species develop more readily farther away from the tropics. "It would take one species in the tropics 3 to 4 million years to evolve into two distinct species, whereas at 60 degrees latitude, it could take as little as 1 million years," weir said. "In other words, there's a higher turnover of species in places like Canada, making it a hotbed of speciation, not the amazon," said Schluter. That, however, is balanced by a higher extinction rate in colder climates, so the tropics still have more diversity. It also raises the question of whether a more variable climate causes more rapid evolution. The next step is to look at changes in behavior and body form, comparing tropical and temperate areas. Kenneth E. Filchak said, "scientists and naturalists have been wondering about patterns of diversity for well over a century. But these questions still hold a central place in science." He said the new report was "interesting and significant", for its look at the process of evolution and patterns of diversity. One is left with the question of why. Weir said the got interested in the topic while studying the effects of ice sheets on evolution. They found that new species developed more rapidly in areas that had been covered with ice sheets than in regions that did not have ice cover. That caused them to widen the research to cover a larger area. 1. What did the subject discuss in the text? A. Species evaluate quickly in a variable climate. B. Species develop more in tropics than in temperate area. C. Species develop more quickly in cooler areas. D. Species have become extinct in cold climate. 2. Why do species develop slowly in tropics? A. Because tropical species need more time to become different species. B. Because tropical species have a long life. C. Because tropical species in pattern of diversity are different. D. Because tropical provide warm climate for species. 3. The researchers still need to study ______. A. how different climates affect species growth B. what kind of climate makes species develop quickly C. what are the effects of ice sheets on ecosystem D. if species in tropics and cooler areas change in behavior and body form 4. What makes less diversity in colder climates? A. The process of evolution. B. The ice sheets. C. A higher extinction rate. D. The cold climate. 5. This text is most probably taken from a ______. A. research paper B. newspaper report C. class presentation D. geography textbook |

| The following people are expressing their thoughts (1-5) to show their concern for food, environment and so on. After that are pieces of related information (A--F) . Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions1-5 and mark your answer letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. ______1. How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away. ______2. More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up. ______3. Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides. ______4. I`m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides. ______5. Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked. A. "Organic produce is always better, "Gold said. "The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tastier." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. "The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business. C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of. D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?" E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising. F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act. |
