    nice things   1   our friends without letting them know who was doing it.We could leave   2   notes or
    cards either on their desks or in their backpacks.Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a
    basket, we    3   a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriened over the next five days.

         Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the
    path.I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or
    mud.As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so
    unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected.I was surprised as well as unhurt though I
    had been struck four or five times.I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me.Had
    I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing.And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by
    a butterfly!
          Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward.My attacker rushed me again.He charged
    towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused.I wasn't sure what to do.After all, it's just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly.I stepped back to look the situation over.My attacker moved back to land on the
    ground.That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a
    mate and she was dying.
          Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her.I could only admire the
    love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate.He had taken it up on himself to attack
    me for his mate's sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large.He did so just to give
    her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her.His
    courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's
    safety seemed admirable.I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult
    side of the pool.He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.    
          Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers
    facing me.

    A.people should show sympathy to the weak
    B.what he should do when faced with trouble

         The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent
    Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.
         Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds
    people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing-he looks
    exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the
    nation's leader is that he is very nice!
         The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a
    chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes
    very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
          Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters
    and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government.
    Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline
    gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his
    First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).
         The film is 100% American. However, if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job
    running the country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave!
    1. What is the purpose of the text?
    A. To tell the reader about the American government.
    B. To discus the Americans' ideas about the President.
    C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
    D. To introduce a new film to the reader.
    2. Who plays the role of the President in the film?
    A. Sigourney Weaver.
    B. Kevin Kline.  
    C. Bill Mitchell.  
    D. Ivan Reitman.
    3. The underlined word "one" in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____.
    A. the President      
    B. the director  
    C. an actor      
    D. a look-alike
    4. Which of the following is best supported by the text?
    A. The author makes fun of the President.
    B. The author thinks highly of the film.
    C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
    D. The author wishes to become the American President.

         Scientists warn today that the Atlantic bluefin tuna(金枪鱼)faces disappearance unless certain
    action is taken. They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the
    Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi
    and sandwiches with tuna worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.
         The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres in length and weigh as much as
    700kg. A good one can fetch as much as ? 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets. "In my lifetime,
    we've brought this big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean," said Barbara
    Block of Stanford University in California. "The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientific
    information we've ever had to manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start
    to act actively to make sure of the future of this fish. "
          Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannot be as good as before. There
    are fewer and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have
    pushed further offshore in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna-in the Mediterranean and Japan-have
    been under increasing pressure for years. The International Commission on the Conservation of
    Atlantic Tuna has tried to manage the fish since 1969.There are two populations: a western one
    that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger, eastern population. Although catches
    are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000 in the east, no one knew
    whether the limits worked.
          So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to
    depths of more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement,
    body and water temperatures. "There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna-protect them
    in their production grounds and in their feeding grounds," Prof. Block said. "This will need immediate
    action in both the central Atlantic, to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of
    Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna produce as separate populations. "
    1. The bluefin tuna in this passage mainly refers to the one _______.
    A.in the Atlantic
    B.in the Pacific  
    C.in the Gulf of Mexico  
    D.in the Mediterranean
    2. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
    A.The bluefin tuna is a kind of large and heavy fish.
    B.The number of the bluefin tuna in the sea is getting smaller and smaller.
    C.Scientists are worried about the future of the tuna.
    D.Scientists think that the harvest of the seas will remain good.
    3. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A.tell people a new way has been found to save the bluefin tuna
    B.call for action to save the bluefin tuna  
    C.warn people not to eat tuna sandwiches anymore
    D.help scientists to find a new way to save the bluefin tuna
