         Taking an after-school class will give you a head start in high school. But if it means walking home
    every day, even in snow and rain, would you do it?
         I did. I took part in an after-school Spanish class. Because it was after school, no school buses were
    there to take me home when the class ended. And my parents couldn't pick me up, so I had to walk home.
         At first I hated the walk because of the long distance. But after a few months, I got used to (习惯于)
    it and it became one of my daily activities, like getting dressed and brushing my teeth. And I began to
    enjoy it. I got to see things like birds flying and trees changing color. A few times I saw something very
    special, like a small snake near the sidewalk, or two cars that came very close to crashing!
         Many of my classmates saw what I did. Once, one girl in my class asked her mother to drive me
    home because it was raining outside, and I didn't have an umbrella (雨伞). Some people who I didn't
    know even gave me a ride - they thought it was too cold out.
         People always think walking long distances is difficult. Modern technology (技术) makes common
    things, like walking, seem impossible. Many people, like myself, live in the country and are close to
    nature, but also far away from it because of technology.
    1. What class did the writer take part in after school?
    A. Math class    
    B. Spanish class  
    C. Art class
    D. English class
    2. When did the writer begin to enjoy walking home?
    A. At the very beginning.    
    B. After a week.  
    C. After a few months.      
    D. After a year.
    3. Why did the writer begin to enjoy walking home?
    A. Because something interesting happened on the road every day.
    B. Because the writer could get a ride from some strange people.
    C. Because the writer enjoyed walking in the rain alone.
    D. Because the writer could enjoy some interesting things happening on the road.
    4. When it was a rainy or snowy day, ______.
    A. some kind people would give him a ride
    B. nobody saw him and nobody helped him
    C. the writer would choose to stay at school
    D. the writer's parents would come to pick him up
    5. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
    A. It is difficult for many people to walk long distances.
    B. Modern technology brings people a lot of inconvenience (不方便).
    C. Modern technology makes people live better, but farther from the nature.
    D. It is impossible for people to walk a long distance nowadays.

         When people think of tigers, they think: strong and dangerous. But now, the big animal is calling for
    our help.
         There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the last 70
    years, the number of Siberian tigers (东北虎) has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18
    and 22.
         The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) started a program recently. It is about to put an end to tiger
    poaching (非法狩猎) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The
    aim is to double (使…加倍) the number of wild tigers in the next ten years.
         According to research by Chinese officers and the WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the
    world's most endangered animals. "If the government doesn't take any action, it's quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years," said Zhu Chunquan, director at the WWF's
    Beijing office.
         Wild animals such as the red deer, sika deer (梅花鹿) and wild boar (野猪) are the tigers' main
    food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest threat to tigers. Traps (陷阱) are also a threat. In
    October, the people of Mishan, Heilongjiang found a dead Siberian tiger with a wire (金属丝) around
    its neck.
         "Volunteers from the WWF remove traps every year, but the fact is that we cannot clear all the traps
    ourselves," Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals which tigers eat. "To
    protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop eating wild animals."
    1. What are tigers like in people's eyes?
    A. lovely and friendly  
    B. lovely but dangerous
    C. strong but friendly  
    D. strong and dangerous
    2. How many kinds of tigers are left (剩余) in the world now?
    A. 11      
    B. 8      
    C. 5      
    D. 3
    3. Why did the WWF start a program recently?
    A. It was started to stop poaching and save animals in danger.
    B. It was started to stop poaching and save wild tigers.
    C. It was started to call on more countries to join in the WWF.
    D. It was started to call on more countries to protect animals.
    4. Which of the following is the reason why the number of Siberian tigers is becoming smaller and smaller?
        ① The poaching  ② traps  ③ people's eating of wild animals  ④ fewer volunteers
    A. ①②④      
    B. ①③④    
    C. ①②③  
    D. ②③④
    5. The word "threat" in Paragraph 5 means _______ in Chinese.
    A. 威胁
    B. 方法
    C. 狩猎
    D. 征兆

         Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because the airport is usually far from the city.
    You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open
    the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport
    and into the city.
         I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late
    for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can
    see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time. I also like cars. You can start
    your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you
    can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
