| Lake Champlain is on the borders of New York and Vermont. An explorer named Samuel De Champlain is regarded as the first person to see a monster in it. This is reported to have happened in 1609, but this may not have been the first sighting of the monster known as Champ. A reporter in the 1960's found that the sighting may not have been in the lake at all. It is more likely that the first sighting was off the coast of the St. Lawrence estuary (河口). In all likelihood, the first sighting of the lake monster in the lake itself took place at Port Henry, New York, in 1819 by settlers in the territory. The sightings continued, and in 1883 the sheriff (州长) of Clinton County, Nathan Mooney, described witnessing " an enormous snake that was 25 to 30 feet in length". Sandra Mansi and her husband were vacationing in Vermont. When the lake monster appeared, they took a picture of Champ. The picture was analyzed and it was concluded that the photo was real. It has been speculated (推测) that the monster may be a creature known as a plesiosaur (颈项龙), which lived many centuries ago. Lake Champlain has depths of up to 400 feet, and is an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean. There is plenty of food there, which supports the existence of such a creature. Lake Champlain also has a water temperature that is ideal for such a creature. In recent years a smaller creature has been seen with the large one. Could there be a family of these creatures in the lake reproducing their yet unknown species now? Only time will give us the answers that we seek. |
| 1. Where did the first sighting of Champ in the lake most probably happen? |
| A. Off the coast of the St. Lawrence estuary. B. At Port Henry. C. In the Clinton County. D. In Vermont. |
| 2. Which of the following have the scientists concluded? |
| A. That the monster belongs to a known species. B. That the picture taken by Sandra Mansi is real. C. That the monster is the offspring of the plesiosaur. D. When and where the lake monsters were first seen |
| 3. What can we learn from the passage? |
| A. The snake-like monster may have swum there from the Atlantic Ocean. B. Champ has had so many babies that they can be seen everywhere in the lake. C. The first recorded story about the Lake Champlain monster was in 1609. D. Enough food and a suitable water temperature is evidence that Champ can live there |

| English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important. However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. "The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken," he says. In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia. David Crystal, the author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia(百科全书) of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. "All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this position before." He said. |
| 1. In David Graddol's opinion, English will _____. |
| A. remain widespread and important B. be more important than any other language C. lose its dominant position D. die away in the near future. |
| 2. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that _____. |
| A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past C. the English language will soon drop in dominance D. more and more language user will choose English |
| 3. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken? |
| A. Malay. B. Arabic. C. Urdu. D. German |
| 4. What should be the best title for the passage? |
| A. English Remaining the Dominant Position B. The Future of English? Who Knows? C. Opinions from Different Experts D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down |

| BUKHANNON, West Virginia- Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two-mile path in Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident. Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates(最新报道) on the rescuers' progress. The miners were trapped at about 6:30 a.m. and many families weren't informed of the accident until about 10 a.m.-more than three hours after it happened. "It's very upsetting, but you've got to be patient, I guess," said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine. The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10000 feet from the Sago Mine's entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal Group. At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later. He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miner. The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect (remove) the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. "We don't want to be energizing anything if it's in an atmosphere with burnable gases," Kips said. The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High level of carbon monoxide were detected shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided(减退), authorities said. |
| 1. According to the passage, we can infer that _____. |
| A. all the miners who were trapped underground were still alive B. communication with the trapped miners was cut off C. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same time D. the rescue started as soon as  the accident happened |
| 2. If the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about _____ per hour. |
| A. 1000 feet B. 2400 feet C. 1200 feet D. 4800 feet |
| 3. Where can the passage be seen? |
| A. In a magazine. B. In a newspaper. C. In a science book. D. In an advertisement. |

| Do you sweat, chew your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out a test? A lot of people get upset when it's time to take a test. __1 In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing for you. Here are some tips for taking tests: ● 2 It sounds like a no-brainer(不用动脑的事), but if you're sure of the information, you'll have less reason to be worried. ● Get enough sleep the night before the test. 3 In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying. ● 4 Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each part and ask the teacher any questions. If something seems unclear before you start, don't worry: ask. ● Relax. __5 Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some calm place. These tips should help most people, but some can get serious test-taking error. If you're one of them, you may need to talk to a parent or teacher for help. |
A.Read the test through fi rst.B.Be sure you've studied properly. C.Focus on dealing with each question personally. D.It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests. E.Your memory will be much better if you've had enough rest. F.As the teacher hands out the test, be sure you know what's expected of you. G.If you're so nervous that you can't think of anything, you might need a mini-break. |

| A ten-year-old boy entered into a coffee shop and sat at table. A waitress puts a glass of water in front of him. "How much is a chocolate ice cream?" "Fifty cents." The little boy pushed his hand out of his pocket and counted the number of the coins. "How much are a dish of plain ice cream?" he asked. The waitress was a bit patient. "Thirty-five cents," he said rudely. The little boy counted the coins again. "I'll have the plain ice cream." The boy finished the ice cream and paid for the cashier. When the waitress came back, she was surprising at what she saw. There were fifteen cents besides the empty dish, her tip. _______________________________________________________________________________. |
