The Nobel Prize was founded by Alfred Nobel.Since 1901，it has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics，chemistry，medicine，literature，and for work in peace.

Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm，Sweden，on October 21，1833.He was very interested in social and peace­related issues.After inventing dynamite (炸药)，Swedish­born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.However，he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late.Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite，so in 1895，just two weeks before his death，he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.Originally there were five awards: literature，physics，chemistry，medicine，and peace.Economics was added in 1968，just sixty­seven years after the first award ceremony.

Nobel's original legacy (遗产)of nine million dollars was invested，and the interest on this sum is used for the awards，which vary from D|S30，000 to D|S125，000.

Every year on December 10，the anniversary of Nobel's death，the awards (gold medal，illuminated diploma，and money)are presented to the winners.Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judge's decision.Americans have won numerous science awards，but relatively few literature (文学)prizes.

No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ.Some people have won two prizes，but this is rare；others have shared prizes.

(   )13．Why was the Nobel Prize established?

A．To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.

B．To resolve political differences.

C．To honor the inventor of dynamite.

D．To spend money.

(    )14．In which area have Americans received the most awards?

A．Literature   B．Peace.    C．Economics.     D．Science.

(    )15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Awards vary in monetary value.

B．Ceremonies are held one December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.

C．Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.

D．A few individuals have won two awards.

   I have a little brother who is 11 year old this year. We get on well with each other and have had a lot of good times together. Several days ago, I bought a book to him. The book is written by those which have won The Nobel Prize and it aim to help children learn about the unknown world. Before I bought the book, I have read it. I felt that it is a good book for him, because he is interesting in new things and has so much questions. I hope that through reading book, my brother can learn more about the world and know what to be a good person.

What we eat every day has a great effect on our health. Therefore, we should try our best to change our bad eating habits and have   61   balanced diet.   62   we all know, baked or fried food may be   63  (taste), but eating too much of them will probably lead   64  some illnesses. Moreover, some food costs us a great deal of money but it’s not healthy.

    Compared with people in the West, Chinese people used to   65   (eat) more grains and vegetables, but   66   (little) meat, which is a good eating habit. However, things are   67   (real) different now. With our life becoming better and better, we are now eating a lot of food that is high in sugar and fat. We often eat out without   68   (consider) the balance of our diet.

The food we choose   69   (affect) our health, so we must keep in mind that the food we choose should give us various   70   (benefit) in leading a healthy life.

One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing. In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road.

Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)

Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.

On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.

When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.

In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.

“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”

Natalie’s choice was to help.

She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to halp. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.

In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”

29.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found________.

 A. some friends had lost their lives                      

B. her neighborhood was destroyed

 C.her school had moved to Brooklyn                   

D. the elderly were free from suffering

30.According to paragraph4,who inspired Natalie most?

   A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.           

B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings.

   C.The volunteers donating money to suevivors.  

D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.

31.How did Natalie help the survivors?

 A.She gave her toys to other kids.

 B.She took care of younger children.

 C.She called on the White House to help.

 D.She built an information sharing platform.

32.What does the story intend to tell us?

 A.Little people can make a big difference.

 B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

 C.East or west,home is best.

 D.Technology is power.

My name is Alice, and I live in the Beijing. I’m not happily every day. My parents always tells me, “You can’t do that! You have to do this!’’ There are too much rules at my home. I have to get up early at 6:00 and make the bed. I can’t listen music while I’m eating. From Monday to Friday, I have to walk to school, so my parents think it is good for healthy.

How to get out of bad habits

Most of us have one or a few bad habits that we’d like to get out of .36  I have a few suggestions that have helped me and people around me. Here are some tips that can help you finally get out of that bad habits.

37  If you tell people around you that you will stop smoking or start to exercise three times a week, then they will check up on you. And you will feel you have to keep your promise because it is let out into the world.

Avoid temptations (诱惑). 38 Places where you are likely to spend too much money. Things in your cupboard that will not help you to get healthier and you should not have at home at all. And people that drag (拉) you down and back into your old ways.

39 It may seem like a good idea to change your life all at once. In our daily life, stress and lack (缺乏) of energy usually lead to failure. Don’t try to be Superman or Wonder Woman. Take it easy and break one habit at a time.

40 You will probably not succeed the first time you do it. You fail and you make mistakes when you make changes and try new things. That’s just life and nothing to feel bad about. What you should do next is try again.

A. If at first you don’t succeed, please try again

B. Don’t break more than one habit at a time

C. But how do you do it?

D. The reason why we need to make good habits.

E. See your future in your mind.

F. Know what usually gets you into bad habits.

How the Grand Canyon (大峡谷) was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.

Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤坝) bursts.

Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔岩) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.

Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.

The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.

The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.

32. In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.

 A. as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes      B. due to river flows over millions of years

 C. owing to the burst of artificial dams           D. thanks to our ancestors’ creative work

33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?

 A. Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons.

 B. Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.

 C. People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.

 D. The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.

34. From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.

 A. there are great lakes on Mars                   B. there are active volcanoes on Mars

 C. there might be cities on Mars                   D. there might be life on Mars

35. The passage can be titled as _______.

 A. Lakes on Earth and Mars                     B. The Cause of Lake Formation

 C. The Force of Dam Breaking                   D. Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting

 “Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”

  Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.

  Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre­college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.

“Good education doesn’t mean letting your children enjoy privileges, especially our boys.” said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur (企业家)in Jinhua’ East China’s Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”

  In August, Song sent his 17­year­old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money—around $48,000 per year—to send a child to a strict military school.

Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.

  A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28.“All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families; some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.

  Song’s only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.

  Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.

“The training is hard but I know it is good for self­development of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character; they are not personal.”

  But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.

  But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.

25. From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying ________ .

A. is out of date in modern times           B. is disagreed by rich parents

C. is still worth trusting                  D. is deeply believed by better educated parents

26. The underlined sentence means that _________.

A. Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonely

B. Song is the only one who sends his child to military school

C. there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song

D. the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it

27. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.

B. Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.

C. Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.

D. Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.
