Last Sunday, the students of our class made a bike trip to a small town by the Sand Lake. We set off earlier in the morning. After getting to the town, we visited some place of interest. In noon, we had a picnic near the town. Everybody was attracted by the beautiful scenery and we took plenty of photos there. In the afternoon, some of us went fishing, some row boats on the water, but others flew kites. We both had a wonderful time. It was a pleasant trip for us, during which the boys were offered the girls so much help. That we have learned from the trip is to help, understand and sharing with others. In word, we have got quite a lot from it.

Rembrandt was an extraordinary Dutch painter. He was most well-known for his brushwork and the way in which he connected with the human soul. His life, however, was not happy.
He was born on July 15, 1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. His father wanted him to have a real, learned profession but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden after becoming bored. He began studying art under a local teacher but soon left and studied in Amsterdam where he mastered all his lessons in six months!
At the age of 22, he moved back to Leiden and began to get his own students. One of his students was the famous artist Gerrit Dou. In 1631 he returned to Amsterdam where he became the most popular portrait painter in Holland. Rembrandt met Saskia and married her in 1634. She was a cousin of a very successful art dealer and she helped him to meet wealthy people who commissioned (委任制作) many paintings from him. He used her as a model in many of his paintings.
Rembrandt’s private life, however, was very unfortunate. He had four children with Saskia but only one, Titus, survived. Saskia died in 1642 at the age of only 30. In 1649, his housekeeper became his second wife and was also a model for many of his paintings. Even though Rembrandt was very successful as an artist, art dealer and teacher, he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy (破产) in 1656. He even had to sell his whole art collection and his house to pay off his debts.
His unfortunate life, however, didn’t affect his art. He painted many great paintings during that time. His new love, Hendrickje, died in 1663 and his 27-year-old son, Titus, died in 1668. Eleven months later, on October 4, 1669, Rembrandt died in Amsterdam. He produced more than 600 paintings and over 2,000 drawings!
56. Which of the following is the reason that made his business fail?
A. As an extraordinary Dutch painter, he knew nothing about business.
B. He spent most of his time on art, leaving no time to care his business.
C. All his children but Titus died, which made him very sad.
D. Like other famous artists, he was thoughtless.
57. From the passage we learn that Rembrandt .
A. graduated from the University of Leiden. B. began his teaching career in 1628.
C. married Saskia when he was 22 years old. D. was good at drawing animals and flowers.
58. How many members of Rembrandt’s family died before him, not including his parents?
A. Four B. Five C. Six D. Seven
59. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. A brief biography of Rembrandt B. A great Dutch painter
C. The greatest painter in the world D. Rembrandt’s unhappy family
Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own. Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.
The new work by Sonya M. Kahlenberg and Richard W. Wrangham, described this week in the journal Current Biology, provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman species playing with dolls, as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animal’s choice of playthings.
The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks. Doll play among humans could have its origins in object—carrying by earlier apes (猿类), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.
“In humans, there are obvious sex differences in children’s toy play, and these are remarkably similar across cultures,” says Kahlenberg. “While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation, our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”
In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda, Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stickcarrying. Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick. “We have seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years, and because they sometimes treated them rather like dolls, we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls,” says Wrangham, a Professor at Harvard. “If the doll hypothesis (假设) was right, we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do, and that the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child. We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”
67. What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?
A. She gives them to her child to play with. B. She treats them as dolls.
C. She makes useful tools from them. D. She treats them as weapons.
68. What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees, according to the passage?
A. Sex difference. B. Socialization. C. Environment. D. Cultural difference.
69. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________.
A. socialization has nothing to do with human’s choice of playthings
B. sex difference is the only factor in human’s choice of playthings
C. the biology factor may also influence toy choice
D. people choose different toys in different cultures
70. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. both humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference
B. different factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthings
C. only female chimpanzees have playthings
D. chimpanzees usually choose playthings for their children
I believe that anyone can make themselves something good to eat. Cooking is a lot easier than many people think. Good cooking -- real cooking -- is within the grasp of anyone with an appetite and a few pots and pans. There is nothing difficult about it ( it is only dinner after all), so we can pretty much ignore all that stuff about it being “an art”, “a science” or “a gift”.
Anyone can slap(啪的一声放) a pork chop (猪排) on a hot pan, throw a handful of noodles into boiling water or put an apple to bake in a hot oven. If someone can make a cup of coffee, then they can probably roast themselves a chicken.
Real cooking is about making ourselves something to eat that involves a bit of simple roasting, boiling or frying. Nothing complicated, nothing that is not within the grasp of an inexperienced cook, but it is cooking, rather than opening a packet or a tin. As you will see, real cooking is also about the little things -- the small points that turn basic cooking into good cooking. It is attention to detail that makes a simple dinner into something great.
What makes something really good to eat? What is the difference between cooking something that is merely fuel and something that is a joy to eat? It is certainly not the need to make our cooking more complicated, neither is it an art that we must have at our fingertips. It is simply the understanding of the little things that make something especially good: the golden, sticky stuff that builds up under a pork chop you have left to cook slowly in its pan, the roast potato that sticks to the roasting tin… These are the things that make something worth eating -- and worth cooking.
1.The writer believes that ______.
A.anyone can be a good cook B.not everyone can be a good cook
C.cooks need special training D.a good cook is an artist
2.Cooking a chicken ______.
A.requires more skill than making coffee
B.is easier than making coffee
C.requires no more skill than making coffee
D.is harder than making coffee
3.The writer prefers ______.
A.complicated cooking B.food that looks beautiful on the plate
C.the food his mother used to make D.simple methods of cooking
4.The difference between simple food and wonderful food is ______.
A.a great cooking skill B.paying attention to detail
C.impossible to explain D.fresh ingredients
In 1990, over 100 countries signed 61 international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory, which is mainly used for jewelry. Most ivory is made from the tusks(象牙) of African elephants. These tusks are 62 (terrible) valuable — one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or factory worker in a year.
Hunting elephants was so profitable 63 from 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa 64 (fall) from 1.3 million to 600,000. However, thanks to the international agreement, there 65 (be) much less illegal hunting since 1990.
But considering 66 (vary) of aspects, it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants. Game wardens (狩猎监督员) must be hired to protect them, land must be set aside for them, and when they destroy a farmer’s crops, the farmer must 67 (pay) compensation(赔偿).
Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally. This will help keep the population stable, and selling the ivory will help pay for preserving the elephants. 68 conservationists say that making ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting. Others say 69 is wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals who feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants. Anyway, people should take immediate and constant measures 70 (protect) elephants.

My brother Donald didn’t do well in math. When the day of the exam comes, Donald sat next to Brian, which was always good at math. Donald careful copied Brian’s answers. At end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded it. Then she decided to give a prize to the student who got the high grade. But it was a bit of difficult for her to make a decision, because Donald and Brian got the same grade. The teacher thought about that and made on her mind to give the prize to Brian. Donald said it was unfair. “That’s true,” the teacher said. “Therefore, Brian’s answer to Question 18 was ‘I don’t know’. Your was ‘Neither do I’.”
