Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide. Twenty minutes passe d and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the camp site (营 地 ). It was even worse that our small compass showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way! We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining.

(D) The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, many moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal ( 煤 ) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. If there are less people who drive, we will make our world less polluted. The earth is our home. We must take care of it.

A sudden sense of shame (羞愧) came to my heart for what I was thinking just now. “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.” I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who can’t see the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness change his love towards art.

(D) There have been many6 great inventions that have changed the way we live. the fir st great invention was one that is still very important today - the wheel.

In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These are all a big part of our lives today. In the first half of the 20th century, we saw more great inventions. For example, the helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon was made in 1935. It changed the kinds of clothes people wore. By this time, most people had a very good life. People had a desire to explore the world again. People knew a lot about the earth, but they didn’t know much about the universe. They began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took the second step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan have done so too. In 1969, man took his biggest step from the earth. Two Americans walked on the moon. This is certainly just the beginning, too. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 16.

He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man paused (停止), looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish (海星) into the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” “The sun is up, and the tide (潮汐) is going out. And if I don’t throw them in time, they’ll die.” “But, young man, don’t you know there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish are all along it? You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely.

The moon is seen because of the reflected (反射) light from the sun. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, we can only see the side of the mon not shone by the sun, except when a solar eclipse (日食) happens. As the moon goes ton around the earth from the west to the east and leave the middle place, we can see the bright part. Its like a letter “C” but is in an opposite directio n. This is called “new moon”. The opposite direction “C” becomes thicker and thicker with the moon moves on. When the earth is between the sun and the moon, because the earth and the moon are not on the same surface, the sunlight isn’t stopped by the earth. At this time, the moon is full, like a round silver plate. And then, it moves on and the part shone by the sun becomes smaller and smaller until it looks like a “C”, which is called “old moon”, And the “C” becomes thinner and thinner until it again moves to the place between the sun and the earth. Then another round begins. Chinese people have a kind of calendar ( 历 法 ) according to the movement of the moon called lunar calendar (阴历), its 15th and 16th day is the time of “full moon”. The fist day of a lunar month is the time of the “new moon”, the ending, “old moon”. Usually the beginning of the lunar month is just the middle days of the solar calendar (阳历，公历), so never expect to see a bright moon on the 15th day of a solar calendar month. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 16.

The notice in the paper said that people could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:30 a. m. and 3:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if I am lucky, I can make the round trip in 45 minutes.

The touchscreen of the iPhone is based on the technology of Capacitive（电容）screen. When the screen is touched, the charge （电 荷） from the human body can affect the charge from the capacitive screen which is behind the surface screen, and pull a small amount of charge of the touch point, creating a voltage（电压）hill, then the charge from four corners of the capacitive screen runs to the voltage hill. So the CPU can deal with the place you touch. Because of this, capacitive screen can be controlled with very light touches of a finger or even two but generally cannot be used by a gloved hand. Because most gloves stop the necessary charge.This kind of touchscreens is widely used on other Apple’s products such as itouch and ipad.

(D) A learning style is a way of learning. YOUR preferred learning style is the way in which YOU learn best. Three learning styles that are often discovered in students are Type 1 ---the Auditory Learning Style, Type2---the Tactile Learning Style, and Type 3 –the Visual Learning Style. Type 1: Auditory Learners learn best when information is presented in an auditory language form. Does listening to audio tapes help you learn better? Do you seem to learn best in classes in which special importance is given to teacher lectures and class discussions? Do you find yourself reading aloud or talking things out to get a better understanding? If YES, you are probably an Auditory Learner. Type 2: Tactile Learners learn best in hands-on learning settings in which they can physically control something in order to learn about it. Do you learn best when you can move about the handle things? Do you do well in classes in which there is a lab part? Do you learn better when you have a real object in your hands rather than a picture of the object or a spoken or written description of it? If YES, you are probably a Tactile Learner. Type 3: Visual Learners learn best when information is presented in a written language form or in another visual form such as pictures or maps. Do you do best in classes in which teachers do a lot of writing on the blackboard, provide clear handouts(课堂讲义), and make wide use of a projector above the head? Do you try to remember information by creating pictures in your mind? Do you take detailed written notes from your textbooks and in class? If YES, you are probably a Visual Learner. Your learning style is your strength. Go with it whenever you can. When you can choose a class, try to choose one that draws heaviest on your learning style. When you can choose a teacher, try to choose one whose teaching method best matches your learning style. When you choose a major and future career, keep your learning style firmly in mind. 根据文章选择正确答案。 ( ) 16. The underlined word “projector” in the passage means “____________” in Chinese.

We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place.

Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

Across the way, the woman sitting by he r window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean! Then it dawned (明白) on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. 根据短文内容判断正、误。（注意：正确的填“A”，错误的填“B”） ( ) 11.

Luckily, a chance came up to him. A company wanted to employ (雇用) one person. He and the other twenty people joined in the fist interview (面试).

The next morning, Bill received a letter from the company which said he wasn’t accepted. Certainly, he felt disappointed. On the evening of that day, Bill surprisingly received another letter, which said he was employed. But why was he accepted?

The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to find a way to get it out. The farm tried a lot of ways, but he failed in the end. Finally, he decided to give up the animals, because the donkey was old, and the well needed to be covered up using the earth (泥土). He invited all of his neighbors to come over and help him. They all began to fill the well with dirt (污土). The donkey realized what was happening and began to cry. Then it became quiet slowly. A few minutes later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was surprised at what he saw. With each shovel (铲) of the dirt that hit its back, the donkey shook it off and took a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors went on to shovel (用铁锹填满) dirt on top to the animal, it still shook it off and took a step up. Pretty soon, the donkey happily got out. Life is just like this.

Most of them live in Africa, but there are some species that live in India and the Middle East and one species that lives in Mediterranean（地中海的） countries. The interesting thing about chameleons is that many species can change their color. Some people believe that chameleons change color so that other animals will not be able to see them and attack them, but this is not the case. They usually do so when they are angry or frightened. Because chameleons can turn their eyes backward, they can look behind them without moving their body or head. They can even have one eye looking forward and one eye looking backward at the same time! Chameleons are long and thin and vary(变化)in size depending on the species—usually between 4 and 60 centimeters long. They move very slowly and live in trees. They wait for insects(昆虫) to come by and then shoot out their long tongues, catching the passing insects on the sticky （ 粘 性 的 ） surface. Then the chameleons eat their catch. Large chameleons also eat birds. Chameleons’ tongues move so quickly that people cannot see them. In some African countries, people are afraid of chameleons because they think they bring bad luck. Many people in Madagascar（马达加斯加岛） believe that anything you do to a chameleon will one day happen to you. For example, if you drive over a chameleon on the road and kill it, soon someone will drive over you and kill you. Because of this, Madagascans are very careful how they behave toward chameleons. In reality, chameleons do not hurt people. They do not bite and they are not poisonous(有毒的), even the larger ones are harmless. 根据短文内容选出最佳答案。 ( ) 16.

(D) In old times, men thought lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. In fact, lightning is electricity(电) formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning which is 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million lamps. Today, most tall buildings are protected by lightning rods( 避 雷 针 ). These are metal rods which are placed on top of the highest, most exposed part of the building. A wire leads from the rod and is buried(埋) underground away from the building. This attracts the lightning and passes the lightning into the ground. In 1752, the American scientist, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to suggest that lightning is in fact electricity formed between the earth and clouds high above. In the same year, he also built the first lightning rod to protect buildings from being struck by lightning. Modern science has discovered that lightning is very strong and powerful. A lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travels at a speed of 30 million meters per second. Scientists have the opinion that there are about 2000 million flashes of lightning per year. In the United States alone, almost every day, it kills almost one person. Since lightning can be very dangerous and it has killed and hurt many people, it is important for us to follow safety measures and protect ourselves .The safest place to be in during an electrical storm is a closed car. Outside , one should go close to low ground for cover and not stop under a tree. Also one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house people should keep away from open doorways and windows and not touch wires(电线) or metal things. Avoid using any electrical equipment such as hair driers, microwave ovens, or washers and so on. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 16. The underlined word “ mysteries” in the passage means “____”in Chinese.

She brought both of us to the front of the class and put him on one side of her grey desk and me on the other. In the middle of the desk was a large, round object. It was clear for me to see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered in a loud voice. I couldn’t believe that the object was white, considering that it was certainly black! One more argument started between the boy and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed places, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was then than I knew what was wrong. It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was black.

Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射)is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage(危害)done by radiation won’t be discovered until their children or ever grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found so far. Space junk( 垃 圾 ) is also thought a great danger go spacemen. It’s reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites(卫星),10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion( 爆 炸 ) in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space junk. Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years.

He said he had the most beautiful heart. A crowd came together to admire his heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why, my heart is more beautiful.” Everyone looked at the old man’s heart. It was full of scars (疤 痕). The young man laughed. “But my heart is perfect and yours is full of scars.” “Yes,” said the old man. “Yours looks perfect but I would never change my heart for yours. You see, every scar stands for a person who I have given my love to. I tear out (撕下) a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty parts – giving love is taking a chance. Although these parts are painful, they stay open. They cause me to think of the love I have for those people, too. So now do you see what true beauty is?” The young man walked to the old man, reached into his perfect heart, and cut a piece off. He gave it to the old man. The old man put it in his heart, then took a piece from his old heart full of scars and put it in the wound (伤口) in the young man’s heart. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man’s heart flowed (流淌) into his. 根据短文内容判断正、误。（注意：正确的填“A”，错误的填“B”） ( ) 11.

(D) We wanted to know what kids were eating, so we asked 959 boys and girls to tell us. Their answers show that many of them are trying hard to eat healthily. How? By eating fruits，vegetables, and good-for-you drinks, like milk，water and l00％fruit juice. The fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and fiber. Let’s take a closer look at the results from the survey. We asked kids to remember what they ate yesterday. 26％of kids said they had vegetables three times or more. 16％said they had vegetables twice. 25 ％ said they had vegetables once. 33 ％ said they had none. None is not good. One is better than none. Two is on the right track and three is great news．With three vegetables and two fruits, you could reach the five-a-day(每日五蔬果)goal. Vegetables can be delicious. The way of eating more of them is to try different types prepared in different ways. Don’t like green beans? Have you had them with lemon butter? Would you like to make one in ketchup(番茄酱)? Go ahead and try it. We asked about fruit and fruit juice. 39％said they had three or more servings of fruit or 100％fruit juice yesterday. 17％said they had two servings. 24％said they had one serving of fruit or juice. 20％said they had none.

The small animals and fish who eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackerel(金枪鱼 和鲭鱼).

Sharks are very dangerous so many people are eaten by them in the sea. But why the number of the shark is becoming smaller and smaller? And who eats the shark?

The largest of these boys pushed John back. John dropped his knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing. John came to his grandfather Cherokee and said to him, “I hate them. I hate them all.” Grandfather said, “Hate makes you down and doesn’t hurt your enemy. It is like drinking poison (毒药) and wishing your enemy would die. We have struggled ( 斗 争 ) with these feelings many times. It is as if two wolves are inside us. It is a terrible fight. One wolf is good and does no harm. It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way. This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, kindness, truth, and faith. The other wolf is full of anger. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. This wolf stands for fear, envy, self – pity, life, untrue, pride. Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside us, for both of them try to control our spirit. This same fight is going on inside us and inside every other person, too.” The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” 根据短文内容判断正、误。（注意：正确的填“A”，错误的填“B”） ( ) 11.

(D) We learn about the world through our five senses (感觉): hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste. Hearing helps us learn from each other through talks. The sense of sight helps us know each other and learn about color, movement and distance. And touch helps us learn about our world by feeling it and learning the size and shape of things. The sense of smell helps us to enjoy life and helps us learn about unsafe conditions. Taste helps us, among other things, to choose and enjoy food. Let’s know more about the sense of sight. There are many parts to our eyes, and each one of them helps us to see. The light goes in through an opening called the pupil (瞳孔). That's the black point in the center of the eye. The colored part around the pupil can change the size of the opening, letting in more or less light. The lens（晶状体）focuses the light on the retina（视网膜）； the cornea（角膜） protects the lens. The eye works like a camera, and all parts of the eye must work together as a team. The cornea, the clear, film-like part of the eye, is the leader. When light enters the dark pupil of the eye, the cornea bends it. And then the light travels to the lens behind the pupil. The light passes through the lens of the eye and is 'recorded' on the back of eyes - the retina. The eye sends the picture to the brain（大脑）， and the brain turns the picture the right way up and tells us what we are looking at. So we see things the right way up. Our senses are the way we find out about the world we live in. We learn with our senses. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 16. We learn about the world through our five senses and they are_____.
