My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant(犹豫的) to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.

This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane (习泳区） in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能).

On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.

And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated （主宰） that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.

I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.

All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.   Shine on, sweet baby.

Do you want to travel to cool places, meet foreigners, and learn a foreign language? If you want, consider a study-abroad program. No matter what country you live in, you can learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.

Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music. Andrew was a student who once studied in France. He said, “I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.”

Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people. The city is different from her hometown. Christina said she learned how to express herself in another language. That made her more confident.

Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. Matthew said he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and practical knowledge. “After studying abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be easy. Being 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly daunting（使人畏缩的） after having lived thousands of miles away.”

    For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way:
    “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.”
    But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
    Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
    Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
    New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
1. From this passage we know that “fashion” means ______.
　    A. clothes                      B. many things

While waiting to pick up a friend at an airport in Portland，Oregon，I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about-the kind that happens to youunexpectedly. To me，this happened and was only two feet away from me．

   Locating my friend among the passengers，I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family．

First he walked to his youngest son (maybe 6 years old）as he laid down his bags．They gave each other a long，loving hug．As they separated enough to look in each other's face，I heard the father say，“It's so good to see you，son. I missed you so much！”His son smiled somewhat shyly，and replied softly，"Me，too，Dad！”

   Then the man stood up，gazed in to the eyes of his oldest son（maybe 9 or 10）and while cupping his son's face in his hands said，“You're already quite a young man. I love you very much，Zach！” They too hugged a most loving，tender hug.

While this was happening，a baby girl（perhaps one or one-and-a-half-year old）was squirming（扭动）excitedly in her mother's arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father. The man said，“Hi ．baby girl！”as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side．The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder，motionless in pure contentment．

    After several moments，he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared，“I've saved the best for last!” and went to give his wife the longest，most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed．“I love you so much！”They stared into each other's eyes，beaming big smiles at one another，while holding both hands，

     For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds，but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn't possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally attentive I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm's length away from me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable，as if I was invading something sacred，but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask，"Wow！How long have you two been married？”

    "Been together fourteen years total，married twelve of those.” he replied，without breaking his gaze froth his lovely wife's face. "Well then，how long have you been away?” I asked．The man finally turned and looked at me，still beaming his joyous smile．“Two whole days！”

    Two days？I was stunned．I had assumed he'd been gone for at least several weeks-if not months．I know my expression betrayed me．“I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years！”

    The man suddenly stopped smiling．

    He looked me straight in the eye，and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul，he told me something that left me a different person，“Don't hope，friend…decide!” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again，shook my hand and said，"God bless！”

    With that，he and his family turned and walked away together. I was still watching that exceptional man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked，“What are you  looking at？”Without hesitating，and with a curious sense of certainty，I  replied，"My future！”

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new secret of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two­thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attacking, while a dog doing the same signals giving in.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．111]

What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously thought. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The meaning of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

24. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        .

A. early                   B. quickly                C. sweetly                D. violently

25. Some cats and dogs may fight when        .

A. they are cold to each other                            B. they look away from each other

C. they are introduced at an early age         D. they misunderstand each other's signals

26. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs         .

A. have common interests                 B. are less different than what we thought

C. have a common body language             D. are less intelligent than what we expected

27. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to live in harmony.     B. We should know more about animals.

C. We should live in peace with animals.         D. We should learn more body languages.

The Internet and the World Web (网) are great places to be right now. We use the word "place" because so many of the things you can do online are similar to the things you can do wherever people gather together－in homes , schools , libraries , shopping centers , or at family reunions(团聚)or town meetings. The Net allows people to learn shop, find important information, and communicate, whether they're local, global or simply virtual (虚的) .

　　The Web is useful. You can find old friends online. You can research and book flights, check the weather, find breaking news, find out information about schools and colleges. You can even place an order for books, CDs, computers and cars.

　　The Internet is also fun. You can write to old friends or check out their web pages, enjoy web - based soap operas, laugh at online jokes, join in a live Net Event, chat with other Internet surfers(漫游者), check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web .

　　Millions of users log on to the Net every day, and it's not just to do research. There's a lot of fun there. That's one reason why it's called web "surfing".

Of course, the first step to using the Web for business or for fun is learning how to work a "web browser"(浏览器). If you're new to computers, it may take a while before you are completely comfortable with your browser. Don't worry. You don't have to be a computer whiz(专家). The basics of a web browser are very much like the basics of modem computers—learning how to point and click the mouse, learning how to scroll（滚动） up and down a page of text, and learning how to use pull-down menus. Again, be patient. There's no time limit on web surfing . Give yourself a chance to explore (探索) the browser itself while you explore the Web.

33. The writer compares the Web to ______.

　A. some easy job　　　　    　B. places to gather together in

　C. places to visit 　　　　　  　D. things you can do online

34. We can learn from the text that the Web is not only ______ but also______.

　A. of great use; of great enjoyment       B. of great use; of great value

　C. useful; funny                      D. of some use; of a little interest

35. To use the Web, all we have to do is to learn how to_______ .

　A. use the computer mouse　　   B. scroll up and down a page of text

C. use pull- down menus           D. all the above

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.

Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.

38. The most important points of trees to man is ________.

A.they help him to make money         B.they give him cool

C.they give him wood and other things    D.they help him to stop drought and floods

39. In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .

A.many trees have been cut down by man     B.new trees are not well looked after

C.man has not paid enough attention to planting trees        D.all the above

40. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .

A. roots of trees break up the soil   

B. there are too many rainfalls

C. strong winds bring a lot of sand

D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.

41. Which title best fits the passage?

A.Trees and Man                B.The Function of Tree Wood

C.How do People do with Trees?   D.The Usage of Tree Roots

Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strange.They stamp their feet and motion toward the hills.The sea draws back from the beaches.Fish fall heavily in the mud.Suddenly,a huge wave appears.This is no ordinary wave.It is tsunami!

Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves.A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building.Imagine dropping a stone into a pond.The water on the surface ripples（起涟漪）.A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple.Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly.Large amounts of seawater are displaced.This movement caused huge waves.

For a tsunami to occur,there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced.Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes.However,volcanoes ,landslides（塌方）,large icebergs,and even meteorites（陨石）are capable of causing one of these mighty waves.

Tsunamis are extremely powerful.Ordinary waves lose power when they break.Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days.Because tsunami waves are so strong,they can kill people,damage property,and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.

Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit.However,if a powerful enough earthquake occurs, scientists can send out a warning or a watch.A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon.A watch means that conditions are favorable for a tsunami.When people are informed of a watch or a warning,they have more time to prepare.It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way.

32.Elephants are acting strange mostly because they_______.

A.dislike the huge wave                                              B.are afraid of the big fish

C.can sense something out of the ordinary                D.see the ocean drawing back from the beaches

33.Why do Tsunamis cause so much destruction?

A.They are not familiar to most people.                       B.They are very powerful and long-lasting.

C.They break on the coast,unlike normal waves.        D.They are caused by underwater earthquakes.

34.From the text,we can learn that_______.

A.a tsunami travels as fast as normal waves               B.a tsunami is formed by huge normal sea waves

C.a tsunami warning is more serious than a watch             D.a warning and watch both mean a tsunami has formed

35.What is this text mainly about?

A.How to guard against tsunami                                  B.Differences between waves types

C.What to do with tsunami waves.                               D.Causes and effects of tsunami

Move Earth—It’s Not Science Fiction

LONDON—Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.

This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.

The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Kory can sky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.

“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun, ”Laughlin said.

Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.

In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)—by cooking us.

That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.

The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation(误算)in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly results.

There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position, it is “most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth”. This would greatly change our planet’s climate.

67. What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?

A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.

B. Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.

C. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.

D. The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.

68. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of　　　years.

A. 12 billion　B. 6 billion　C. 18 billion　D. 24 billion

69. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?

A. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the Moon.

B. Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.

C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.

D. Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.

70. What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?

A. Surround.             B. Benefit.        C. Share.          D. Endanger.

71. Do you have an a______________ solution to the question?

72. He has 120 men under his c_____________.

73. Some people enjoy making ____________ (预测) without caring about their results.

74. Public transport p___________ a cheap way to get around in Beijing.

Uncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptable

For the first time，airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior．Their names will remain on the blacklist for one or two years，according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday．The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list．

Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for traveling by air and so place their own interests before everything else，including safety，has long been overdue （迟到的，延迟的）．

There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight．

Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved．However，some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket，and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding（吩咐）．

They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal （互相给与的）．There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others．

Observing rules can never be over﹣emphasized when it comes to flight safety．No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason．Of course，airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers．Yet，even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided，there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all．

The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line （顺从集体）．

8．Which of the following statements is TRUE？　  　

A．Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted．

B．At no time should flights be delayed，whatever the reasons．

C．Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers'service at any moment．

D．If an airline passenger is blacklisted，he or she will never be allowed to travel by air．

9．The underlined word"observing"in paragraph 6is closest in meaning to　  　．

A．abolishing       

B．violating       

C．setting      

D．obeying

10．According Paragraph 4，the author's attitude towards some passengers is　  　．

A．Tolerate       

B．Curious        

C．Critical      

D．Neutral

11．The text is most probably taken from　  　．

A．a research paper  

B．a newspaper report  

C．an advertisement  

D．a flight guide．

    Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trusts. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.

Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

13. According to the passage, sharing bread______.

A. indicates a lack of food                       B. can help to develop unity

C. is a custom unique to rural areas          D. has its roots in birthday celebrations

14. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.

A. using examples                                  B. making comparisons

C. analyzing causes                                   D. describing processes

15. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The custom of sharing food.                  B. The specific meaning of food.

C. The role of food in ceremonies.             D. The importance of food in culture.

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.

1. The main idea of this passage is that________．

A. a person was found who actually didn't need any sleep

C．everyone needs some sleep to stay alive

D．people can live longer by trying not to sleep

A．cure him of his sleeplessness

B．find a way to free people from the need of sleeping
