AThe house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d b een through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...21. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.B. He had breakfast at home.C. He left a note on the freezer.D. He left the house quietly.22. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A. The height of the first rocks.B. The change in the position of the sun.C. The ups and downs of the waves.D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A. Tim was the only person on the beach.B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C. The sea looked like a piece of gold.D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.24. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.A. loneliness to crazinessB. anxiousness to excitementC. eagerness to nervousnessD. helplessness to happinessBYou may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother’s Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves (应得) it ---- those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother’s Day. But there’s more to the story.The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.In the US, Mother’s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn’t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn’t alo ne in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.Learning more about Mother’s Day and celebrating Mother’s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. The reason why people celebrate Mother’s Day.B. The ways people honor mothers.C. The history of Mother’s Day.D. The contribution of mothers.26. Where was the earliest Mother’s Day celebrated?A. In ancient Greece.B. In the US.C. In England.D. In Italy.27. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient GreeceB. all the countries don’t celebrate Mother’s Day in MayC. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering SundayD. it was in 1872 that Mother’s Day really came into being28. The last paragraph tells us that _____.A. all the people should celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something good to their mothers.B. only mothers are honored on Mother’s DayC. understan ding mothers’ work is more important than just celebrating Mother’s DayD. people should celebrate Mother’s Day every dayCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium (钙)content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending(推荐) skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.29. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later30. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten timesB. It can make people more energeticC. It exists in milk in great amountD. It’s used in sleeping drugs31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health32. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.DA. In May 2016B. In May 2017C. In September 2017D. In September 201634. Who is more likely to get the job?A. Sam, English major, member of the college basketball teamB. Judy, IT staff with night classes, children’s basketball team coachC. Ted, computer major, basketball fan, free on evenings and weekendsD. Molly, part-time programmer, high school basketball player, new mother35. Whom should you contact if you want to apply for the job in Rockville?A. JorgeB. MichaelC. GauriD.

The three books mainly help us _________,A. make good friends easilyB. improve our life qualityC. hunt for a satisfactory jobD. identify our goalsBAround the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee-jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot—air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee-jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee-jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago people’s lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments;they buy food in shops;and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger inactivities such as bungee-jumping.25. A suitable title for the text is “”.A. Dangerous Sports:What and Why?B. The Boredom of Modern LifeC. Bungee-jumping:Is It Really Dangerous?D. The Need for Excitement26.

But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’ s father was British and her mother was Dutch.Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’ t going to be a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn’ s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the U N Children’ s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会)projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved byinternational aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.29.In Paragraph 1, “her aid work” refers to__________.A. acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEFB. making her own moviesC. winning an Academy Award as Best ActressD. taking acting parts in stage shows 30.The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that __________.A. the education there was excellentB. her parents were from BritainC. it was safe thereD. she wanted to be a ballerina31.__________ is NOT mentioned in the passage about Audrey Hepburn.A.

But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物)gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be dishonest. After a fight, the losing chimp will give itshand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?33. A plover protects its young from a predator by___________.A. driving away the adult predatorB. getting closer to its youngC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured34. What is the common reaction of most chimps when they find their favorite food?A. They let out a loud cry.B. They hide their food immediately.C. They cry in a very low voice.D. They share their food with other chimps.35. What does the author think of the animals’ dishonest behaviors?A. UnforgettableB. UnreasonableC. AcceptableD.
