10.Lacrosse,invented by the NativeA mericans,is a popular team sport in NorthA merica and a national summer sport forC anada.It involves the use of nets,or"heads"as they are called,which consist of a wooden or metal stick with a net on the end.Hockey is a game based on this sport.
The name"lacrosse"was named by the French settlers,with"Crosse"meaning curved stick.Lacrosse played a more serious role in Indian culture than anywhere else.Lacrosse was not a very well known sport until the late nineteenth century.It was mostly a boy's game until a few years ago,and now it is played by both boys and girls.
There were about three different forms of lacrosse based on the different tribes or places of how they played it.One of the ways still played today is called double stick; you play by using a two and a half foot stick in each hand and tossing a deer skin ball in between the two sticks.
Like many other ball games,there are two teams in Lacrosse,each with ten players.There is one goalie,three defensemen,three midfielders and three attackmen.The goalies defend the goals,and if the ball goes into the goal,the team who got the goal scores.Whoever scores the most goals by the end of the game wins,with an overtime period being played if the game is tied.The game has four quarters and starts with a"faceoff"at the beginning of each quarter.A faceoff is when the ball is on the ground to start the game,and one person from each team fights for the bail.

1.Recently,a small group of birdwatchers spent three weeks around Mount Vernon.They were busy counting wild birds on Mount Vernon's wetlands,south of Washington,D.C.They began in the middle of December and worked until the beginning of January,2015.
The birdwatchers were among 70,000volunteers who collected information for the National Audubon Society,a U.S.conservation group.They counted birds in more than 2,400areas in the United States,Canada,the Caribbean Sea and other parts of the Americas.
The Audubon Society's first"Christmas Bird Count"took place 115years ago in 1900.At that time,a man named Frank Chapman suggested a new Christmas tradition that people count birds instead of shooting them around the holiday.
Harry Glasgow has taken part in the Christmas Bird Count for the past 10years.This year,he was one of the volunteer birdwatchers at Mount Vernon.
"I think it's a tremendous use of a lot of unofficial talent around the nation to keep track of birds.Birds are one of the surest indicators of the health of ecology."
Last year,the bird count recorded over 66million birds of 2,403different species.
Gary Langham is chief scientist with the National Audubon Society.
"The Audubon climate report says that half the birds in North America-314out of 588species-are seriously threatened by climate change.The impacts sort of cut across all birds,all sizes,all kinds,all places."
Information from the bird counts has shown that birds are staying farther north during the winter months because of warmer weather.Birdwatcher Jaime Reidy has noted the difference close to Washington,in the state of Virginia.
"You get to see them at odd times of the year,a little earlier,staying a little later."
Gary Langham says other conditions are affecting bird populations.
"You can imagine the birds that live along the beach or along the rocky shore line as sea levels are rising around the world.That is impacting them,you know."
David Yarnold is president of the Audubon Society.In his words,"Christmas Bird Count data is becoming important not only in documenting current climate change,but in predicting the future effects of climate change on North American bird populations.If we know what to expect,we can start taking actions now to do something about it."

63.For what reason did the birdwatchers count wild birds around Mount Vernon?A
A.To find out what affects birds'migration and populations.
B.To collect information for the new Christmas tradition.
C.To compare the birds in Washington with those in other places.
D.To raise people's awareness of protecting wild birds.
64.The underlined word"odd"in the passage is closest in meaning toD.
A.strangeB.fixedC.urgentD.irregular
65.What does the last but one paragraph indicate?C
A.Global warming has a direct influence on the sea levels.
B.Wild birds prefer to live along the beach and the rocky shore line.
C.The rising sea levels worldwide are responsible for fewer birds.
D.It's a common phenomenon to see sea levels rising around the world.
66.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Americans always have a habit of shooting birds during Christmas.
B.Some birds needn't migrate to the south to survive the winter in the USA now.
C.The volunteers of the National Audubon Society come from the United States,Canada.
D.It's important to watch birds for they are the surest indicators of the health of the ecology.

Recently,we had a discussion on how to make learning English relaxing and fun.Most students believe that there are many ways to do so.First of all.We can have more interactive activities in class,such as discussions,interviews,story-telling and role-play.In this way,we can have more fun learning English.Secondly,we can take part in more out-of-class activities like English speech contest and English evenings.Thirdly,we need to find more opportunities to communicate in English with people,whether they are English teachers or classmates,foreigners or Chinese,because using English is the best way to learn.
These ideas sound reasonable and practical.From my experience,there are many other interesting and relaxing ways.For example,we can listen to English songs and watch English movies.We can also watch English programs on TV or join English clubs or make English pen-friends on the Internet.All in all,what we need is more free time and more space..

15.[1]Are you a bookworm?Is your head permanently stuck in a book?If so,that's a good thing.There are many benefits to reading.Getting into a good novel improves our literacy (讀寫能力).But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading?
[2]Of course,when we are young,our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to characters that we love-or love to hate.And there are the authors-the people who invent and write about these characters.Good writing can really capture our imagination.
[3]One modern-day children's author is J.K.Rowling,who's known for her books about the wizard,Harry Potter.Last year she was named as a‘literacy hero'for her part in improving people's love of reading.The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers."
[4]The Trust also honoured schoolchildren,a librarian and teachers for their effort in trying to get people to read.The actor,Henry Winkler,who has dyslexia,was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties.
[5]Reading books is more than an enjoyable pastime;it can also help people in difficult  circumstances.The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and  discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behaviour.She says"Very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character,what was the motivation  of somebody,why did they behave that way?"
[6]But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy. _____,the better we get and who knows-one day you may become the next Tolstoy,Jackie Collins or  even William Shakespeare.

66.What does the author think of good writing?(no more than 10words)Good writing can really capture our imagination.
67.Why was the author J.K.Rowling called a‘literacy hero'?(no more than 10words)
For her turning a generation of children into readers./For her part in improving people's love of reading./Because she turned a generation of children into readers.
68.Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph4.(no more than 3words)  Henry Winkler was well-known as a‘literacy hero'for the book about a boy who suffered  fromdyslexia/learning difficulties.
69.What's the main idea of Paragraph 5?(no more than 10words)Reading can also help people in difficult circumstances.
70.Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(no more than 6words)The more we read/The more we do it.

2.Loneliness has been linked to depression(抑郁)and other health problems.Now,a study says it can also spread.A friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness.And a friend of that friend was twenty-five percent more likely to do the same.
Earlier findings showed that happiness,obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread like infections within social groups.The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham,Massachusetts.
The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease.Since then,more tests have been added,including measures of loneliness and depression.
The new findings involved more than five thousand people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study.The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness.The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.
For example,loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors.The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together.The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.
The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year.The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days.But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by two and a half days.
Lonely people become less and less trusting of others.This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends-and more likely that society will reject(排斥)them.
John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study.He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness.He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.
57.As an average person,if you have 2 more common friends,how many days a year might you suffer from loneliness?D
A.48 days.B.17 days.C.65 days.D.43 days.
58.What can we infer from the passage about lonely people?C
A.They can overcome loneliness themselves.
B.They will decrease loneliness day by day.
C.They are in great need of help from people around.
D.They can help others to repair their social networks.
59.What's the best way to help lonely people according to this passage?B
A.Put them together.B.Make friends with them.
C.Help them stop smoking.D.Ask them to loose weight.
60.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?B
A.Loneliness-The Cause of Depression
B.How Loneliness Can Affect Social Networks
C.Loneliness-A Serious Social Problem
D.How People Can Help A Lonely Person.
