He went around the village with a basket and asked people to give him some of their wisdom. Each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒) of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.Then his youngest son walked by. ＂What are you doing, father?＂he asked and Anansi told him. ＂Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?＂his son said.Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. ＂I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!＂he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home.

How is it made? These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair(辛克莱，美国作家) wrote the Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U.S. started testing food.These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it’s more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good foodsafety system(系统)keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(标签)on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck mi ght carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn’t cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make more money. When this happens, people don’t know if their food is safe.As we all know, food is closely connected to our daily life. We should take actions to make food safer！1．Why did the US start testing the food?A．Because food safety is not a new worry. B．Because food was prepared in dangerous ways.C．Because the people were so worried. D．Because most food in the world isn’t safe.2．What can people do after reading the information on food labels?A．They can control how food is prepared. B．They can keep food safe.C．They can eat healthy food. D．They can make good choices about food.3．When could ice cream make people sick in the example?A．When the truck carries eggs. B．When the truck is cleaned after carrying eggs.C．When the truck isn’t cleaned before carrying it.D．When the truck isn’t cleaned after carrying it.4．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．Food safety systems usually work, but there can be mistakes.B．The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn’t cleaned.C．Sometimes companies break rules to make more money.D．Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems.5．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Food. B．Food safety. C．Food problems. D．Testing food.C15、You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles in your body. But hav e you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal’s body are different from yours? An animal’s muscles are made to do the things that are most important for its life.Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of morethan 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lions’ do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake’s strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.T he elephant’s long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100,000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground. The nose can also be a powerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.1．The underlined word “hunters” in Paragraph 2 means persons or animals that.A．keep animals for fun B．raise animals for meatC．catch animals for food D．run after animals for exercise2．All the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT .A．An elephant’s nose is strong enough to pick up a tree by its roots.B．The strong muscles in the back legs help lions catch their prey.C．Snakes can’t move themselves forward without their muscles.D．Muscles in an animal’s body are different from a human’s.3．According to the passage, what makes the muscles in your body different from an animal’s?A．The exercise. B．Your parents. C．The environment. D．Your needs.4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P = Paragraph)A．B．C．D．D16、根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

(A)A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children—like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents—seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it,and they are busy with other subjects, too.Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever()in our mind.Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.36. We usually begin to learn our own language by_______ it.A. speakingB. hearingC. sayingD. teaching37. If you have a good_______, you’ll have less difficulty in learning something.A, teacher B. camera C. memory D. family38. The children who live abroad with their parents can learn two languages more easily because_______.A. they are very cleverB. they have good teachersC. they have more chances to use these languages.D. they have a better life39. ____ can take photos of what can be seen, felt, heard,smelt and tasted.A. A cameraB. MemoryC. A diaryD. A man's mind40. Memory is______ that we keep in our mind and carry about.A. the best diaryB. the best cameraC. a great helpD. a beautiful picture(B)The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water(淡水)which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number ofpeople in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage becomes a big problem.How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil(使达到沸点) sea water with high heat until vapor(蒸汽) rises, leaving the salt.
