[一]Hi, my name is Christina Baum. I'm a fourteen-year-old German student. I'm writing to tell you about an experiment we are doing at school with our Science teacher. At the beginning of this school year, Frau Keller showed us films and we read articles about problems in the environment. One day she said,"I want to know what you think. Please don't tell me what we should do or must do. Tell me what each of you will do to protect (保护）the environment. ”She asked us to choose a topic，make a weekly plan and tell the class about it. Then we had to do things to be "green” and write a report about our achievements. Some students said that they thought it was impossible for a single person to contribute(起作用）to the protection of the environment. Someone else said that scientists should work harder to find new ways to produce energy.Frau Keller said that it is everyone's job to care for the health of the planet. After the first week everybody in class was excited about the project and wanted to continue to improve their results. Someone suggested telling the other classes in the school. Now all 768 students at Hermann Stein School are working on the project. At the end of the year, our class will write a report about what we have achieved.Next week I'll think about how not to waste water or make it dirty. I'm planning to try and use less water every day，and also not use so much of the things that make it dirty.Every time I turn on the tap(水龙头），I must think about how much water and soap I use. To use less water, this is what I'll do：-—take a shower instead of baths ；—turn off the tap while brushing my teeth；—use less washing-up liquid(液) when washing dishes.If you want to know more or join us，please write an email to the following address ；k, ke ller@hermannsteinschool. de1 .根据短本内容完成句子填空空限填一个单词）。

阅读01Butterflies are common all over the world, but the ones in hot countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterflies more brightly colored than the female. The female have bigger and heavier bodies, since they carry the eggs. The gay (鲜艳的) colors of the male help to attract (吸引) the female and the duller colors of the female make them less likely to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.Some butterflies have a bright pattern of colors on the upper surface of their wings, which show when they fly, but when they rest on a tree or leaf, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown markings which look like the tree or leaf. They are then difficult to see. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly. When its wings are close, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf. When a bird is chasing a butterfly, and it close its wings, it seems to have disappeared completely.Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. When they are resting, and their wings are folded, these cannot be seen. When a bird sees one, and begins to attack it, the butterfly opens its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, and it is frightened to fly away.1. Where are the butterflies always bigger and more brightly colored?A. In the places where it is hot.B. In the places that are far from the sun.C. In the south.D. In the north.2. Why do the female butterflies have bigger and heavier bodies?A. They can help than to attract the male.B.

After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools and that the "work" they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name "stage school" are those few places where children attend full time with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary schoolwork and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.1. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they're talking to ________.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing2. In the writer's opinion, a good stage school should _________.A. produce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training3. "Professional work" as used in the text means_________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class4. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B. He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows .D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached .阅读03Many people like cooking but never have much time for it.

Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather , and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money.

Our shopkeeper, Mr. Soames, has always been careful about this. If his customers (顾客) are very young, he always asks them whom the cigarettes are for.One day a little girl walked into his shop and asked twenty cigarettes. She had the exact amount of money in her hand and seemed very sure of herself. Mr Soames was so surprised by her confident (充满自信的) manner that he forgot to ask his usual questions. He asked her what kind of cigarettes she wanted. The girl replied quickly and handed him the money. While he was giving her the cigarettes, Mr Soames said laughingly that she was so young and she should hide the packet in her pocket so as not to be found by a policeman. But the little girl did not seem to find this very funny. Without even smiling she took the packet and walked towards the door. Suddenly she stopped, turned round, and looked steadily at Mr Soames. There was a moment's deathly silence and Mr Soames wondered what she was going to say. All at once, in a clear voice, the girl said, "My dad is a policeman." And with that she walked quickly out of the shop.1.Mr Soames keeps a ________.A. cigarette companyB. fast-food restaurantC. grocery (杂货店)D. small hotel2.Why is it difficult for children to buy cigarettes?A.

Last week their school year was over and he wouldn't stay in the hot city and wanted to go the cool village to see his grandparents and be on holiday there. Mr. Young had to take him there. On their way there, a traffic accident happened. Their bus ran very fast. Suddenly the driver found an old woman was crossing the road. He began to stop the bus, but it was too late. She was knocked down and soon died, and the bus hit a big tree and was badly damaged(损坏) . The people in the bus had to get off andstay in a small hotel overnight. Mr. Young wouldn't let Richard see the dead woman, but the little boy had seen all.After supper they both felt tired. Mr. Young moved his bed close to the boy's and turned off the light. A few minutes later Richard said, "It's very dark in the room, isn't it?"Of course the man understood what it meant. He said, "Yes, but everything is all right."After a few more minutes' silence a small hand reached over and took Mr. Young's."I' m holding your hand," said the boy. "In case you'll be afraid!"1.Why would Richard spend his holiday at the village?A. He enjoyed travelling.B. It is hotter in the city and cooler at the village.C.

For example, in 1988 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 16% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies (变化)with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men is much smaller than that between middle-aged women and men. It is also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated (集中) pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women is, the lower the average wages are.Why do women earn less than men? Is the cause of the gap that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene (干涉), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists (经济学家) about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background. It is just the difference that cause the difference in productivity between men and women.Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some bias against women. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the demanded (被需求的) quantity of labor input, and then the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus of labor.1.The difference is not very obvious between __________.A. young men and young womenB. middle-aged men and middle-aged womenC. young men and middle-aged womenD. young women and middle-aged men2.Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because _________.A. women are less experienced than menB. women have more freedom in selecting their jobsC. there are more women than men in the laborD. they are only provided with low-paying jobs3.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the second paragraph?A. Women receive less education than men.B. Goods produced by women are not as good as those by men.C. Women can' t make the same productivity as men.D. Economists don' t think the causes of the gap are women' s being looked down upon.4.What does author suggest that for the women workers the government should do?A. To pay as much as men.B. To explain why women are paid less.C. To force employers to hire less men.D. None of the above.5.What would happen if women's wages were raised?A. The unemployment rate would go up.B. Women as a group would earn more than before.C. Men as a group would earn less than before.D. The women would own more money than men.阅读Nomads (游牧部落) are people who have no fixed homes but move regularly from place to place. Hunting peoples, such as the Bushmen, Pygmies (俾格米人，中非个子矮小的一种黑人) andAustralian aborigines (土著人) move in search of large animal population. Pastoral (适于放牧牛羊的) nomads, in the Middle East and Central Asia, move with the seasons to find pasture (牧场) for their animals. Other patrol peoples, also dependent on the seasons, grow crops but move to other places after their crops need no attention. Some agricultural workers, in the United States particularly, follow a nomadic life also, going northward during the growing and harvesting season and returning to the warmer southern regions in the winter. Generally speaking, the nomads' movements are regulated by the seasons and the effects of the seasons on plants and animal lives.1.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of this paragraph?A. There are still some nomadic peoples left in the modern world.B. In search of large animal population, nomads move from one place to another.C. Seasons and their effects on plants and animal lives regulate nomads' movement .D. Bushmen, Pygmies and Australian aborigines are nomadic peoples.2. The best title of this paragraph could be __________.A. Where There Is a Large Animal Population, There Are NomadsB. Characters of NomadsC. Two Decisive Factors of Nomads' MovementD. Some American Agricultural Workers-Nomadic Peoples of New Era3. According to this paragraph, why do some nomadic people leave their crops after they grow them?A. Because their crops needn't be taken care of.B. Because they regret growing them. .C. Because they can hunt many more animals in other places.D. Because their movements depend on the seasons, too.4.According to this paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Australian aborigines follow the movements of large groups of animals.B. Some American agricultural workers go back to the north for cold winter.C. Nomads in the Middle East move with the seasons to look for pasture for their cattle.D. Some pastoral peoples also move from one place to another.阅读Human beings have adapted (使……适应) to the physical world not by changing their physical nature but by adjusting (调整) their society. Animals and plants have made adjustments over long periods, by development of thorough and complete changes in their very organisms.(有机组织) Hereditary (遗传的) differences meet needs of various environments. (环境) But among human beings, differences in head form and in other physical features (特征) are not, in most cases, clearly adaptive. Nor is it clear that mental capacities of races are different. As far as we know, the races are equally intelligent (聪明的) and equally capable of solving their problems of living together. The different ways of life, it seems, are social and learned differences and not physical and hereditary differences. It stands to reason, therefore, that man's adjustment to his surroundings should be studied in custom and institution (制度), not in anatomy (身体结构) and neural structure (神经系统的构造).1.According to the paragraph, anyone who wanted to study human adaptation to environment should do so through the field of _______.A. physicsB. sociology (社会学)C. archaeology (考古学)D. medicine2.According to the paragraph, man has adapted to the physical world by changing _________.A. other physical featureB. hereditary differencesC. head formD. social systems3.In order to _________, animals have made adjustments over long periods by development of thorough and complete changes in their very organisms.A. develop themselvesB. adapt to their living surroundingsC. have a larger populationD. have a greater number of offsprings (后代)4.Which of the following ideas is the writer not in favour of?A. Human beings have adapted to the world by the adjustment of their society.B. Head form of humans and their other features are basically not adaptive .C. Different races vary a lot in their intelligences.D. Generally speaking, the races have equal abilities of solving their problems of living together peacefully.阅读These days people more and more care for their weight. For example, as 70,000, 000 Americans are perhaps on weight- reducing diets, and weight control has become a very large business. There are different kinds of diet foods in the markets such as soft drinks, diet cakes, diet salad dressings. Dieters also spend much money on diet pills, exercise machines and so on. Each year scores of new diets become popular all over America. They have such name as the Miracle Diet, the Nine-Day Wonder Diet, and the Easy 24-Hour Diet. There is even one called the Ice Cream Diet, which advises the dieter to eat only ice cream for lunch and dinner! For dieters who cannot lose weight on their own, there are many well-prepared diet groups, which give them help and encouragement.1.The word "dieters" means those who _________.A. want to lose weightB. have important dietsC. take weight-reducing dietsD. have healthy diets2.The control of weight has become a large business because _________.A. a large number of Americans want to lose weightB. weight-reducing diets are not cheapC. more and more people care for their weightD. there are many different kinds of diet foods3.The meaning of "Nine-Day Diet" is that _________.A. the dieter is sure to lose some weight only in 9 days by taking the dietB. the dieter must have food 9 times a dayC. the dieter shouldn't eat anything in 9 daysD. the dieter needs 9 days4.The writer _________ the diet foods can help one lose weight.A. is sure thatB. doesn't believe thatC. doesn't understandD. wants to let us understand阅读PALO ALTO, California - "Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter - even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week.A study of l92 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds ( 0.91 kg ) less over aone-year period than those who did not change their television diet ."The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家) at Stanford University."American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television andvideos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years," Robinson said .In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise."One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories," Robinson said."Another reason might be due to eating more meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more, " Robinson said.1.What does the author try to tell us in the first two paragraphs?A. Children will get fatter if they eat too much.B. Children will get thinner if they eat less.C. Children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TVD. Children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV2.According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV ______.A. is more than four hours a dayB. is less than four hours a dayC. doubled in the last twenty yearsD. is more than on any other activities3.How much time are children suggested to spend on TV viewing every day? ________.A.

Children usually eat everything while watching TV.5.Why can watching TV increase kids' weight according to the passage?A. They usually eat more while watching TV.B. They burn off fewer calories.C. They change their diet while watching TV.D. Both A and B.阅读If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare," "Samuel Johnson," and "Webster," but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English-William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-classNormans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.1.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were______.A. Welsh and ScottishB. Nordic and GermanicC. Celtic and Old EnglishD. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic2.Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?A. president；lawyer；beefB. president；bread；waterC. bread；field: sheepD. folk；field；cow3.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.B. They know little of the history of the English language.C. Many French words are similar to English ones.D. They know French better than German.4.What is the subject discussed in the text?A. The history of Great Britain.B. The similarity between English and French.C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.D. The French influences on the English language .。
