| Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear (灰熊) and mountain lion can cross the road. "Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads," the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. "Ecopassages " may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage. Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴) and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass! |
| 1. The writer uses the example of "ocelots" to show that _______. |
| A. wild animals have become more dangerous B. the driving conditions have improved greatly C. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work D. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents |
| 2. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is ________. |
| A. an underground path for cars B. a fence built for the safety of the area C. a bridge for animals to get over a river D. a path for animals to cross the road |
| 3. When the writer says that animals seem "to be catching on", he means ________. |
| A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages C. animals are crossing the road in groups D. animals are increasing in number |
| 4. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because ________. |
| A. wild animals may attack cars B. wild animals may block the road C. they may see wild animals in the park D. they may see wild animals on ecopassages |

| Color is very important in our daily life. It can influence our choice of purchase when we go shopping and can also affect the way we look and feel. A person can be naturally attracted to one particular color while finding another color repulsive. The influence of color on human emotions and feelings is very powerful and designers, advertisers, artists and even doctors use it in their professions for different purposes. Every day, without even thinking about it, we use color to communicate our feelings. For example, the color we choose to wear is one way of expressing ourselves. It says something about the person, how he or she feels, and how he or she wants others to feel about the wearer. In other words, color talks. A person who wants to appear stylish and mature will usually wear dark colors or black. A person who wishes to appear youngish, pure and innocent dresses in white, like the choice of a bride's wedding gown. Also clothed in white are doctors, dentists, nurses and hospital in-patients as the color expresses comfort, cleanliness and professionalism. Brown, blue or grey clothes are the usual colors worn by office workers so as not to draw unnecessary attention to them. They are, in a way, conveying the message that they want to be noticed for their work, not their appearance. People who wear bright, strong colors like to be attractive and these colors are particularly popular with actresses, singers and party goers. In the past, common people were not allowed to wear certain colors. In Thailand, for example, only kings, queens and members of the royal family could wear purple while in ancient China, yellow was the color reserved for the emperor and the empress. Nowadays, people can wear whatever color they like or as they think appropriate. |
| 1. The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to ________. |
| A. color B. influence C. human emotion D. personal feeling |
| 2. How does color affect a product? |
| A. It describes the product. B. It helps the product designer to express himself. C. It may put the purchaser in a spending mood. D. It is able to influence the consumers' choice of purchase. |
| 3. If a girl chooses to wear a red dress to a party, it implies that she wants to ________. |
| A. look pretty B. appear innocent C. be noticed D. be an actress |
| 4. Brides wear white because it is a color for _______. |
| A. comfort B. professionalism C. purity D. youth |

| Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, "While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain." The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician(儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning," says Margaret. Older people can beef up their brains as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants (婴儿), exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain's flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week. |
| 1. What is the best title of this passage? |
| A. How to exercise B. How exercise helps the brain C. How to get good scores on a test D. How the brain can change |
| 2. According to the reading, what is the connection between exercise and brain development? |
| A. Exercise makes us stupid. B. The brain needs special mental exercise. C. The more exercise, the bigger the brain. D. Physical exercise helps us think better. |
| 3. The mini amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is ________. |
|
A. three hours per week |
| 4. Why does the author think that yoga is fit for seniors? |
| A. It is easy to learn. B. It can be done in groups. C. It does not increase the heart rate. D. It includes learning new motions. |

| Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where and how one entertains. In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a "help yourself" method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough. As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the "hometown" gift you are bringing to Singapore is not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture. |
| 1. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where ____. |
| A. people don't pay any attention to your positions B. people care much about their statuses C. entertainment is important D. entertainment is not advisable |
| 2. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show ________. |
| A. that offering food should not be made too early B. a "help yourself" method works well in this case C. that accepting an offer of food should be made later D. a "help yourself" method does not work well in some cases |
| 3. The passage infers that American women like _________. |
| A. a "help yourself" method B. waiting to be served C. a slow service D. cream and sugar |
| 4. _________ is especially proper, when you are invited to a dinner party. |
| A. A big gift B. Large payment as a gift C. A small gift from one's home D. A gift form Singapore |

| Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. |
| 1. Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection? |
| A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential. C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism. |
| 2. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____________ . |
| A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists' customs C. over-crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic |
| 3. It can be inferred from the text that _____________ . |
| A. the author doesn't like tourism developing so fast B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction C. other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism much D. we can't build too many support facilities |
| 4. The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____________ . |
| A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life |

| How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of self-confidence. In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they're doing. But where does that confidence begin? Developing self-confidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track (轨道) toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批评). That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But self-confidence still doesn't come easily. So what's the solution (解决办法)? With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become. Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are. Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities. Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next. Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you're ready. All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don't allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear. Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence. | ||||||
