| The Inspiration Greeks in ancient times believed in many deities (神) or gods. One way they showed their devotion to gods was to build temples in their honor. A Shaky Start The Greeks were building the original Parthenon in about 480 B.C. when the Persians captured Athens.The Greeks swore an oath (誓言) called "The Oath of Plateau". They swore to fight to death. They also vowed never to rebuild the city's monuments. The Greeks survived the invasion. They used the remains of the monuments to build a defensive wall around the city. After thirty years' peace, the Greeks broke their oath.Their ruler, Pericles, ordered the rebuilding of Athens. They started work on Parthenon. Fit for a Godness The Greeks used expensive white marble to build the Parthenon. The Parthenon was 60 feet high and was surrounded by 46 tall Doric columns. The temple was decorated with many sculptures. A continuous sculpture formed a border around the outside of the building. This horizontal band is called a frieze. Only 325 feet of the original 525 feet of the frieze still exist. A huge 40-foot gilt and ivory statue of Athena was placed inside the temple. Changes in Purpose Over time, many different groups of people used the Parthenon. It was first a Greek temple. Then in the sixth century, Christians made it a church. Later, in the 1400s, Muslins used it as a mosque. At one point, it was nearly destroyed by war. Turkish invaders used it to store ammunition. An explosion destroyed the inside of the building. The Parthenon stands as a ruin today. Pollution has harmed the outside. Despite the changes over time, the Parthenon remains one of the most famous buildings in the world. |
| 1. In the long history, the Parthenon had been used as the following except _____. |
| A. a temple B. a church C. a storehouse D. a mosquito net |
| 2. Why didn't the Greeks rebuild the Parthenon for thirty years after the Persian invasion? |
| A. They were unwilling to rebuild it. B. They had no money to rebuild it. C. They were angry with Athena for allowing the invasion. D. They had sworn an oath not to rebuild. |

| If you talk about a dog's life, go to Beijing to see the pampered (过分娇惯的) dogs. Dogs clipped, dressed up, washed and dried. Here, it's the owners who go to obedience (服从) school, and these people pay almost a thousand US dollars a month to learn how to properly care for their pets. Dogs are hot in Beijing, a symbol of a new middle-class family. Dogs or pets can take the place of children, even husbands. Qin Lu, 23-year-old dog owner, certainly thinks her dog makes some more loyal partner. She's spending 1,300 yuan, that's almost 200 US dollars a month, sending her dog to the training school. Think about it, almost half her monthly salary as a secretary. Personally, if I have a dog, I want to give it the very best of everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a dog. Before we get too sentimental (引起伤感情绪的), though, other dogs in China have a far more grisly (令人毛骨悚然的) fate, many still destined for the dinner table, dog meat, a popular delicacy. But appetities are changing. What was once for the eating is now for the treating. Beijing alone is home to more than a million dogs. Owners spend an average 25 dollars a month on pets. Do the math. Dogs are big business. Ning Wei who runs this obedience school on the outskirts of Beijing said. "It has been open for almost three years. There are many dogs. And now we are opening another branch." As their owners embrace everything western, so too, are the dogs. Ning Wei's specializing in producing a new breed of bilingual puppies. Yes, dogs that understand Chinese and now English. "I'm going to do a test now to see if it understands both English and Chinese. Effectively, if its Chinese is better than my English, and its English is better than my Chinese." |
| 1. From the first paragraph we can know _______ in Beijing. |
| A. dogs are tired of the hot days B. why people spend so much buying a dog C. dogs are very expensive D. many new middle-class families raise dogs |
| 2. What can we know about Ning Wei from the passage? |
| A. He is an English teacher in an obedience school. B. He is a businessman who runs a school. C. He is a dog-keeper who is learning how to properly care for his dog. D. He is a researcher who is crazy for the bilingual puppies. |
| 3. From the passage we can conclude that ______. |
| A. there are many different kinds of dogs from all over the world in Beijing B. many Beijingers love dogs better than their own sons or daughters, even their husbands or wives C. learning how to treat dogs is a hot business in Beijing now D. so much money has been spent on treating every dog |

| Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops. New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize. Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants (婴儿)are able to quantify substances (物质)-like sand or water-as early as 10 months. As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food. With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount. Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount. "Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don't seem to count things like water or sand," vanMarle said. "What we're saying is that they can quantify substances; it's just much harder. The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one." This information further refutes (驳斥) the long-held idea that babies "know nothing of the world," vanMarle said. "Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, we've discovered a lot of early abilities. I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that there's somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development," vanMarle said. In the future, vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child's progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as "Baby Einstein," still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study. |
| 1. The quantifying ability refers to the ability to ___. |
| A. choose between different substances B. get much knowledge of the world C. describe the quantity of something D. obtain math-related skill |
| 2. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4? |
| A. The process of doing research. B. The scientific findings. C. The final choice of infants. D. The observation of infants' behavior. |
| 3. We can learn from the text that . |
| A. some parents don't care about their kids B. people used to think the world is known to babies C. little research has been done on infants D. some scholars disagree on baby-training programs |
| 4. What's the best title of the text? |
| A. Breakthrough in Baby Studies B. Amazing Baby-training Ideas C. Early Human Abilities D. Unique Quantifying Methods |

| Did the iPod kill music ? DID Steve Jobs kill the music industry? That's the question on many people's lips since rock star Jon Bon Jovi accused the apple boss of personally destroying the music industry. Bon Jovi centers his criticism (批评) on how he believes music downloading has robbed young people of what he calls the "beauty of buying on album", "Kids today have missed the beauty of taking your allowance (零花钱) money and making a decision based on the Jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like," he said. But far from killing the industry, many young people today think Jobs has been a blessing (带来幸 运的人), offering you instant, and selective access to a whole world of music. Keith Staskiewicz at Entertainment Weekly speaks for the feelings of many music lovers. He believes listening to Mp3s rather than records or CDs "just saves them money" and doesn't "eliminate (消除) the sense of discovery they get from new music", Staskiewicz also argues that it's wrong to blame Jobs and Apple for destroying anything."Change is just part of the business," Staskiewicz said. "No doubt in 50 years, Justin Bieber will complain in his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech about how kids don't listen to iPods any more." For now, though, it appears that music downloading is set to continue for the near future. According to Summer Redstone, chairman of media company Viacom, iTunes has "resurrected (复兴) the music industry by creating a legal, affordable purchasing system for fans". But recent surveys suggested that, despite the "legalizing" of music downloading via sites like iTunes, young people are still choosing to download music illegally.A report by Jupiter Research suggested that illegal downloading sites are used three times as much as legal ones. The problem, according to its analyst Mark Mulligan, is how today's youth grow up viewing music as something they can get for free. "Unless the music industry can shift these consumers (消费者) while they are young away from free consumption to paid music formats (格式),they may never develop music purchasing behavior," warned Mulligan " recording industry could suffer long-term harm." |
| 1. Jon Bon Jovi thinks Steve Jobs has destroyed the music industry because ________. |
| A. Apple encourages illegal music downloading B. children today prefer music downloading to buying albums C. children today do not like to discover new music D. children don't care what a record sounds like |
| 2. What does the underlined word "jacket" mean in the second paragraph? |
| A. coat B cover C skin D peel |
| 3. Which of the following statements might Keith Staskiewicz agree with according to the article? |
| A. Records or CDs shouldn't be sold in stores any more. B. Steve Jobs and Apple are partly to blame for destroying the music industry. C. There are surely more ways to enjoy music than on iPods. D. Music downloading has its advantages and is a change that should be accepted. |
| 4. According to Mark Mulligan, the best solution to illegal music downloading is to ______. |
| A. legalize music downloading via sites like iTunes B. ban the illegal music downloading sites on the Internet C. help young consumers get used to paying for music D. offer young consumers instant and selective access to a variety of music |
| 5. What is the main point of the article? |
| A. How Steve Jobs and Apple changed people's music tastes. B. Opinions on effects of music downloading. C. How to fight illegal music downloading. D. Criticism of free downloading of music by young people. |

| I was interested in reading a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. 1 In the afternoon, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (拥抱). There are trips out and birthday parties too. 2 The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. 3 There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. 4 That's why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world. 5 Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention. A. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. B. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world. C. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. D. However, there are some similarities between the old and the young E. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. F. No previous experience can we use to communicate between them. G. It's a major problem in many societies. |

| Every morning Steve went to work by train. As he has a long trip, he always buys newspaper. It helps make the time passing more quickly. One Tuesday morning, he turned over the sports page. He wanted to see the report about an important football match the night before. The report was so interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. He did not know it unless he saw the sea. He got off at the next station, but had to wait a long time for a train to go back. It was no doubt that he arrived late at the office. His boss was angry when Sieve told to him why he was late. "Work is very important than football! " he shouted. ______________________________________________________________________________ |
