        I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's
    words as if it were yesterday: "Kernel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has
    AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
         AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I
    knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived
    alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My
    father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to took after him.
          We couldn't afford all the necessary medicine for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I
    had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner.
         I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how
    I was going to manage.
         I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at
    classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was
    moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak
    to feed himself.
         I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret,
    I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman
    at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so
    lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life. 
          I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about
    AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
    1. What does Kernel tell us about her father?
    A.He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill
    B.He depended on the nurses in his final days.
    C.He worked hard to pay for his medication.
    D.He told no one about his disease.
    2. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Para. 3?
    A.Kernel couldn't understand her teacher.
    B.Kernel had special difficulty in hearing.
    C.Kernel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
    D.Kernel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.
    3. Why did Kernel keep her father's disease a secret?
    A.She was afraid of being looked down upon.
    B.She thought it was not shameful to have AIDS.
    C.She found no one willing to listen to her.
    D.She wanted to obey her mother.
    4. Why did Kernel write the passage?
    A.To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
    B.To show how little people knew about AIDS.
    C.To draw people's attention to AIDS.
    D.To remember her father.

          The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African
    ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.
    As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives,
    therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
         It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important
    builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills
    small trees and undergrowth, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in
    both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open
    spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
          Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out
    sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants,
    elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the
    forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to
    get their food as well.
         What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the
    elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest
    and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
    1. What is the passage mainly about?
    A. Disappearance of African elephants.
    B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
    C. The effect of African elephants' search for food.
    D. The eating habit of African elephants.
    2. What does the underlined phrase "setting the terms" most probably mean?
    A. Fixing the time.                
    B. Worsening the state.
    C. Improving the quality          
    D. Deciding the conditions.
    3. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?
    A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.
    B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.
    C. They are home to many endangered animals.
    D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
    4. The passage is developed mainly by ______.
    A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes
    B. pointing out similarities and differences
    C. describing the changes in space order
    D. giving examples

         Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
    drawing to a close.
          When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
    expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation,
    but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before
    his 48th birthday.
    Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the
    stranger he realized Jim's case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack
    and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising
    to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had
    died. Jim's father was 48.
    "I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says. "He felt that if he had not asked him
    to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation
    was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live
    to the age of 48.
         Jim's case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim's,
    studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart
    disease and mental illness.
    1. Jim was sent back to operation because ________.
    A. his heart didn't work well      
    B. he expected a full recovery
    C. his life was drawing to a close    
    D. the first one wasn't well performed
    2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim's case?
    A. Jim died at a young age.    
    B. Jim died on the operating table.
    C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.    
    D. Jim's death is closely connected with his father's.
    3. From Smoller's words, we can infer that ______.  
    A. Jim's father cared little about his study
    B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
    C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
    D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn't live to the age of 48
    4. Which of the following could have strong effect on one's physical health according to the text?
    A. a, b, d      
    B. a, b, e    
    C. a, c, e  
    D. b, c, d
    a. One's genes.     b. One's life in childhood.    c. One's physical education.
    d. The date of one's birthday.     e. The opinions one has about something.

          In some children who go blind, certain parts of the brain that normally control vision appear to
    switch jobs and focus instead on sound, a new study has found.
          The study, by researchers at the University of Montreal, involved 7 adults who could see and
    12 adults who had lost their vision when they were children. Each participant sat in a room with
    16 loudspeakers at different locations. The room was designed so that there were no echoes(回音).
    During the experiment, the speakers irregularly produced sounds. Participants had to point to where
    the sounds were coming from. Meanwhile, the researchers monitored blood flow in the brains of the
    participants to see which brain structures were working during the task.
          The results showed that five of the blind participants were very good at pointing to where sounds
    were coming from. In these people, blood flow increased in the visual cortex(大脑皮层)-an area at
    the back of the right side of the brain. This part of the brain is usually associated with vision.
          The other seven blind participants showed no increase in activity in the visual cortex. These people
    didn't do very well at picking out where sounds were coming from. Now, the researchers are looking
    at whether these people have gained an enhanced sense of touch instead of sound to replace their lost
    vision.
          The scientists say that their study shows how adaptable parts of the brain can be.
    1.  The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to find whether_____.
    A. blind children can regain their sight
    B. blind people have a better sense of sound
    C. the sense of touch is better among blind people
    D. blood flow in the brains of blind people is slower
    2. The participants of the experiment were asked _____.
    A. to tell the difference between 16 sounds
    B. to take down the time each sound lasted
    C. to identify the direction the sound came from
    D. to detect the number of the loudspeakers
    3. During the experiment, blood flow in the brains of the participants was measured in order to _____.
    A. learn about the way they react to echoes
    B. look for the way of enhancing hearing ability
    C. find which parts of the brain were functioning
    D. expose the relationship between seeing and touching
    4. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
    A. Most blind people have a well-developed sense of touch.
    B. People go blind because of the breakdown of their visual cortex.
    C. Most blind people have a better sense of sound than normal people.
    D. Human brains can adjust themselves after the loss of a certain function.

        Wen Jiabao arrived in Singapore yesterday for an official visit to the country. It is the first visit by a
    Chinese premier to Singapore in eight years. In the arrival statement, Wen said he is looking forward to
    the meeting with Singapore on ways to deepen East Asian cooperation between two nations so as to
    contribute to the building of a peaceful, harmonious relationship."
          Premier Wen Jiabao and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong agreed to jointly develop an
    environmentally friendly city in northeastern China. The city will be a model for sustainable development,
    a Singapore government statement said. The "Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city" will be developed by a
    joint venture formed by Chinese and Singapore companies. "This eco-city, to be built in Tianjin, will
    become another highlight in our relations," Wen said after signing an agreement with Lee, who agreed,
    "On the Singapore side, on all levels, we'll give this project our full support."The two sides will share
    expertise and experiences in urban planning, environmental protection, resources conservation, recycling,
    use of renewable resources and wastewater re-use. China's economic planning agency issued a set of
    guidelines earlier this month welcoming foreign investment in environmentally friendly areas such as
    recycling, "clean" industries and environmental protection.Bilateral relations between China and Singapore have seen big progress even though the two countries established diplomatic ties only 17 years ago,
    Wen said during his talks with Lee.
          China and Singapore have also kept close contact and coordination on regional issues, he added.
    Wen said China and Singapore are both important Asian countries that share common interests in many
