Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson admired him, trying to copy him in every way he could.

One day the grandso n asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don't understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”

The old man quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster nex t time.”

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.

The grandpa s aid, “I don’t want a bucke t of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”

The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”

“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized

that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

“Grandson, that’s w h at happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, y ou’ll be changed, inside and out.”25. What puzzled the grandson most was______.

A. why he forgot what he read soon

B. whether it was useful to read books

C. what kind of book he could understand

D. how he could read books like his grandpa

26. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water?

C. To punish him for not reading carefully.

D. To get him to realize the use of reading books.

Children seem to care so much about their names. A study showed

that 25% of young children feel they couldn't live any more if you took away their name. Another study shows that about one third of all young people wish their parents had given them a different name.

In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their

family for many years. It tells the child where he or she has come from.

Choosing a good name isn't easy. Many parents search books that

tell them the meaning of names. They could choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means “valuable gift”. Amanda means “love”. And Fara means “joy”.

Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during

the birth of the child. In Africa, a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means "born on Saturday".

But can our names influence our lives? Some experts say that they can, but others disagree. Is every girl called Malak like an angel? Is every boy called Curitis polite? And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy? No parents can tell what kind of person their child

will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn’t mean he will be clever . All they can do is hope.

28. Ama is a name used to show______.

A. where she has come from

B. she was born on Saturday

C. she was the first born daughter

D. the happiness of the family

29. Which of the following names means kindness and beauty?

A. Fara.

B. Mahira.

C. Malak.

D. Curitis.

30. Which of the following statements(陈述)is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Nearly 25% of the people wish they had been given a different name.

B. All names can tell something about what happened when the baby was born.

C. The child’s nam e decides what kind of person the child will grow up to be.

D. In some c ultures, a child’s name can tell where he or she has come from.

31. The writer develops the passage mainly by______.

A. using numbers

B. giving examples

C. telling stories

D. giving reasons

D

Can we give a hand to those endangered animals?Yes,we may only do a little bit,but together our small actions add up to a lot.

1.Protect wildlife habitat

Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests,farming,and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live,habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat,entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.

2.Reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species

The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly,forcing native species towards extinction.

3.Place decals (贴花纸) on windows

It is reported that as many as one million birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.

4.Slow down when driving

Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you drive out,slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.

32.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.How Animals Go to Extinction

B.The Importance of Protecting Wildlife

C.What to Do to Help Save Wildlife

D.How to Protect Wildlife Habitat

33.People are advised to put decals on windows to ______.

A.decorate the houses and beautify the environment

B.protect the windows from birds-hitting

C.attract more birds to make homes nearby

D.avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake

34.The underlined phrase “prey on” in the passage means

“______”.

A.kill for food

B.live with

C.drive away

D.fight with

35.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A.the habitats of many species have been destroyed

B.about one million birds are attacked by invasive species each year

C.perhaps the biggest threat to many species is that are they are easily bumped by cars

D.invasive species only compete for food with native species
