 Li Hua and Wang Hai are two students of Senior Three.   41  of them work hard but they have various learning methods.

Li Hua listens to her teachers 42  (attentive) and asks her teacher  43  help as soon as possible if she has some problems. Because of this, she spends less time   44  (do) her homework, so it is  45  (certainly) that she can keep energetic in the day. However, Wang Hai has quite a  46  (difference) way of learning  47  (compare) to Li Hua. He likes to sit up late at night doing his homework, so he often feels sleepy in class. As a result, he misses lots of key points,   48  makes it difficult for him  49  (concentrate) on what he is doing.

In my opinion, Li Hua learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself. So I prefer  50  (she) learning method.

When Nancy Flexer opened the door to her classroom near the end of her final school year, all 41 years of her career as a beloved first-grade teacher came to life right in front of her.

Cole Elementary School in Tennessee surprised Flexer with a memorable and emotional retirement party featuring former students of all ages, dating back to the first class she taught in the 1973-74 school year. A video of the event shows an overwhelmed Flexer being moved to tears as she hears former students who are now adults tell her how much she affected their lives.

"I'm one of the luckiest people in this world," Flexer said. "I remember I opened the door to the classroom thinking no one was in there, and it was wall-to-wall people and banners and everything. It was the coolest thing that could've ever happened in my life. How many times do we really realize the lives we've touched, the manner in which we've touched them, and that these are memories that stay with them for life?"

Despite being young when they were taught by Flexer, students easily recalled the heartwarming notes she wrote them on report cards, the ways she helped them overcome shyness and awkwardness, and how she inspired them to future academic success to earn scholarships and advanced degrees.

Even though Flexer hadn't seen some of the former students for decades, she instantly remembered the names of every single one there.

A scrapbook(剪贴簿) of her career was presented to her as one student after another recalled the effect Flexer had on his or her life.

“I’ve had many opportunities to move to a school closer to my home, but I said ‘Cole gave me so much in my life that when I retire, I will retire from Cole school and give back what’s been given to me.” Flexer said. “My career could’ve taken me nowhere that would have made me happier. I think of it as a blessing.”

4. We learn from the text that the retirement party__________.

A. was beyond Flexer’s expectations

B. attracted many of Flexer’s friends

C. was full of appreciative parents

D. was organized by Flexer’s students

5. Flexer’s former students ___________.

A. helped her overcome her shyness

B. presented her with cards

C. held a party to express their happiness

6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Flexer missed many chances of further studies

B. Flexer once studied in Cole Elementary School

C. Flexer loved her teaching career in Cole

D. Flexer refused many other school’s invitations

7. What would be the best title for the text?

A. An interesting party

B. A teacher’s 41-year teaching career

C. Students’ memories of their beloved teacher

D. Students fro 41 years surprise their beloved teacher

    Avocados are large, heavy, dark green fruits that are usually shaped like pears. The riper they get, the softer they get. People eat avocados in salads and sandwiches. But probably the most popular way to use avocados is in guacamole, a delicious Mexican snack(小吃). Inside the fruit is a very large seed(种子), which you can use to grow a tall, beautiful avocado plant.
   1）Wash the avocado seed with cold water. Stick four tooth-picks around the middle of the seed.
    2）Fill the jar almost to the top with water that is just slightly warm. Rest the toothpicks on the top of the jar. The more pointed end of the seed should be in the water while the flatter end should face upward.
    3）After that, you will have to wait for three or four weeks. During that time, be sure to add just enough water to replace the water that evaporates into the air. The bottom of the seed should always be just below the water’s surface. The thin brown skin that covers the seed will crack(破裂) open. Roots will start growing out of the bottom of the seed. Leaves will start growing at the top.
    4）When the roots are about three inches long, fill a flowerpot with soil and plant the seed. Make sure that the seed is completely covered by soil and that the young leaves are above the soil.
     5）Find a sunny spot for the plant. Water it every few days to keep the soil moist (潮湿的). Watch it during the next few months. Your avocado plant will grow a tall, straight stem (茎) and large oval leaves.
8. The main idea of the first paragraph is to ______.
   A. tell us how to grow an avocado plant                  B. give us a brief introduction to avocados
   C. tell us the shape and color of avocados               D. tell us that avocado is a fruit
9. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. The two points of the seed are of the same shape.
    B. The soil in the flowerpot should neither too dry nor too wet.
    C. We’d better use ripe avocados to make some guacamole.
    D. The most popular way to use avocados is in guacamole.
10. The word “evaporates” in the fourth paragraph means _______.
    A. turns into ice because of cold weather                       B. becomes very hot by the sun heat       
    C. turns into other things because of chemical change      D. becomes vapor and disappear

Liz sighed, “You have no good reason to make me   41   Sara’s party next Friday, Mom,” she  42  . “You don’t even know her, and I think you’re very   43  .

    “No, I don’t know her.” said Mom. “I don’t know her   44  , either, and that’s   45   why I can’t let you go to the party. I’m not trying to   46   your fun.

    “Because she has just had her   56  , she wants to be sure they’re   57  , so she doesn’t quite   58   anyone she doesn’t know really well.” Mom paused, then added, “I guess a lot of   59   are like that — and fathers, too.

   If you spent years training to be a lawyer and had a great steady income,would you leave it to undertake a silly plan that only your mum and girlfriend believed in? That’s exactly what Tom Pakenhamdid.

   He had the idea of starting an eco-friendly taxi company and so with five environmentally-friendly cars Green Tomato Cars was born. Now,only a few years later,the company has a group of 60 Toyota Prius Hybrids.

   When the company started in 2006 Tom admits,”Only my mum,girlfriend Sophie,now my wife,and Jonny(his business partner) were 100 percent behind the idea of starting London’s first green cab service.”

   Tom,who sold his ￡150,000 flat to raise money for the business,received the support of some well-known persons, Buckingham Palace officials and BskyB managers. Even Al Gore is a fan.

   Currently carrying 500-600 passengers a day,Green Tomato Cars is a shining example that commercial success and green issues are compatible(可共存的).

   “All our drivers and employees are employed from the local community. We use local garages,service agents and vehicle sign-writers even though that is not always the most competitive choice. The reason is that to bring green products to the fore we believe we must not be inferior(较差的) to conventional taxis. The target is to be recognized as No.1 provider of environmental goods and services in London and around the world.”

   All their hard work has paid off as The Department for Transport has acknowledged Green Tomato Cars progress by giving them the Fleet Hero Award and last year the company was highlighted at the WTM World Responsible Tourism Day.

   Delighted with the publicity, Tom says,”I like to think we are playing our part with the cars switching to electricity. Carbon dioxide reductions of more than 600 tons have been achieved and this low footprint has sparked a revolution in the taxi world.”

11.From the first paragraph,we can infer that_________.

 A.Tom Pakenham was a successful lawyer B.Tom Pakenham was a man full of confidence

 C.this does good to the environment      D.this can solve unemployment

14.The vehicles in Green Tomato Cars are powered mainly by_________.

15.What can we learn from the text?

 D.Al Gore helped Tom pakenham raise money for his company.

Insects(昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein(蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.

    Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!

    Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.

    But insects will not replace animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy. They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.

    Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits of eating insects. But they will still have a lot work to do.

25. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from __________.

A.     their terrible taste

B.     people’s old beliefs

C.     family traditions

D.     eating methods

26. We can infer from David and other insect experts believe that __________.

A.     people can eat more insects

B.     insects should be better protected

C.     people can make a lot of money from insects

D.     it’s dangerous to eat insects

27. Eating insects __________.

A.     is not healthy

B.     makes people put on fat

C.     helps protect large animals

D.     is environmentally friendly

28. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show __________.

A.     the high cost of food production

B.     it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insects

C.     the different ways of feeding cows and insects

D.     raising insects is a good choice for farmers

  Now it is job hunting season again. The job fairs flood with hundreds and thousands of 2011 graduate students. Owing to the global financial crisis, most of the graduate students admit that job hunting is not that easy any longer.
  It is always a painful process for college students to find jobs. 　36　   . However, job positions are quite limited. In order to get a job, the candidates should be more competitive than ever before.
  A Chinese expert predicted that the job hunting pressure in China, with a rocketing increase in the active labor force, would reach its climax in 2006. Yet, this situation continues in 2010. In order to transfer the human resources that are more than needed or wanted to the less developed areas in China, the government has tried to launch a series of policies to help release the pressure. 　 37 　.　　　
　　38　. A higher education may be more helpful to find a good job in the future, while the temptation of an exciting job and the strong will of being a “real” adult urge the youth to step into society early. For example, when an undergraduate mechanical science and technology major at a famous university is preparing for his postgraduate exam, he receives an offer from a big foreign company one day. 　39　. Anyway, it is really tough to prepare for the postgraduate examination.
　  40　. This is a tough time and everyone should have some shining points to win the employers’ favor. As products of universities, college students are expected to be first-rate talents and should step into the excellent group in the society. However, these students may achieve unexpected success in the fields where their professional knowledge functions to its maximization.
A. Most probably, he is so excited that he decides to quit the exam next year.
B. Almost everyone worries about the result of the postgraduate examination.
C. “Survival of the fittest.” Darwin’s evolution theory appears in the personnel market.
D. With many colleges enlarged in recent years, large numbers of graduates need to hunt jobs.
E. What’s more, financial support is provided to encourage the graduates to start their own career.
F. To go on with further education or to find a job is one of the hardest decisions for the graduate students to make now.
G. Competition for a job would be fierce as graduates this year will have to join the job hunting group from previous years.

_{—Can you keep an eye on my bag? I need to take photos.}

How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:

  51  . Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.”   52  To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.

  53   It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper.

Laugh when you need it most. “  54  ” says comedian Bill Cosby. “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might by, you can survive it,” he insists.

Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain – because it comes naturally.   55  . Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.

A．You can soften the worst blows through humor.

B．Mix with people who laugh.

C．Practise the art of laughing.

D．Keep a laughter file.

E．He who laughs last laughs best.

F．But it’s also something that has to be developed.

G．People’s joy can affect those around them.

 The sound of the national song suggested that we ________only minutes from the action.

  A. were                 B. should be         C. be                  D. must be

Ways to Save Time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

　36　But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

1. Get Out of Bed Earlier

If you normally get up at 7: 30 a. m. , try getting up at 7: 00 a. m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. 　37 

2. Do the Important Tasks First

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first(not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

　38　The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.

3. Reduce Interruptions

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 　39　Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

4. 　40 

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

When you’re working, work.  If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work

B. Take Breaks When Necessary

C. If you have an office door, close it.

D. If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.

E. Would you want me to make your day longer?

F. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

Mr Smith was the manager of a hotel in Springfield. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. Late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. The men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.

Mr Smith wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 414, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men agreed. Mr Smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. Each of them gave Mr Smith $10, and they went up to the room.

Mr Smith soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is too much for that small room,” he thought. He called one of his men over and said, “Here is $ 5. Bring it to the man in Room 414. I’ve asked too much money for their room.”

The worker took the money from his manager. While he was on his way to Room 414, he started to think, “How can I divide $5? Well, I’ll give each of them only $1 and I keep $2. The men will be happy to get anything back. I’ll make a little money and Mr Smith will never know.” So he returned $1 to each man.

You see, there come a problem, each man had at first paid $10. After the worker returned them $1 each, each man had paid 9. There were three men, $9 x 3 = $27. The worker kept $2 —$27+$2=29. Where is the missing dollar?

A. There wasn’t any missing dollar at all.    

B. It was taken by the worker too.

C. It was taken by the manager Mr Simith.

c. They paid 30 dollars altogether for one room.
