【題目】閱讀理解
Imagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!
The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.
His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie's jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.
The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (橫桿) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.
Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大鏡). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫蟲(chóng)).
The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!
Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!
（1）The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.
A.coach
B.teammate
C.challenger
D.record holder
（2）What can we learn about the spittlebug?
A.It likes living on the ceiling.
B.It is good at flying in the air.
C.It is the same length as a pencil.
D.It has a wonderful jumping talent.
（3）In the author's opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug's jumping abilities are ________.
A.surprising
B.promising
C.doubtful
D.fearful
（4）How does the author develop the text?
A.By giving instructions.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By following the order of importance.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】本文對(duì)比了人類(lèi)和動(dòng)物的跳躍能力。

（1）C 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第五段的Looking around for someone to challenge his record可知，挑戰(zhàn)跳高紀(jì)錄保持者的是一只吹沫蟲(chóng).由此可知contestant在此有“挑戰(zhàn)者”之意。故選C。challenge是關(guān)鍵詞。

（2）D 推理判斷題。從第六段對(duì)吹沫蟲(chóng)的描述可知，這種蟲(chóng)子具有跳躍天賦。故選D。

（3）A 推理判斷題.從文章首段的But they might just leave humans in the dust,第三段的But wait... 和倒數(shù)第二段 的That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high 等描述可推知，作者認(rèn)為青蛙Rosie和吹沫蟲(chóng)的跳躍能力令人吃驚。故選A。

（4）B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。作者從跳高和跳遠(yuǎn)兩方面對(duì)比了人類(lèi)和動(dòng)物的跳躍能力，故選B。

【題目】When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice , people seem to say , but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（優(yōu)先）.This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values .It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception（視角）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets .The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes .The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

【1】According to paragraph 1, students_______.

A. regard music as a way of entertainment

B. disagree with their parents on education

C. view music as an overlooked subject

D. prefer the arts to science

【2】In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to.

A. compare it with rock music

B. show music identifies a society

C. introduce American musical traditions

D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles

【3】According to the passage , the arts and science.

A. approach the world from different angles

B. explore different phenomena of the world

C. express people’s feeling in different ways

D. explain what it means to be human differently

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Music education deserves more attention.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music is an effective communication tool.

D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

【題目】While being lost in the woods can be a frightening experience, surviving alone in the wild is generally a matter of common sense, patience, and wisely using the gifts that nature provides.【1】.

Do your research first. Don't just trek off into the wilderness; get a solid understanding of your surroundings first. Studying a map of the area where you're going -- and making sure to bring it with you -- will increase your chances of not getting lost tremendously. Educate yourself about the flora and fauna of the area you are exploring. 【2】.

【3】.A cell phone with a spare battery or a portable CB radio can be your best, quickest means of rescue if you are truly lost or injured. A cell signal may only be obtainable only from a hill or tree, but is better than nothing. Serious hikers may even consider investing in a personal locator beacon such as the SPOT Messenger for extended, precarious, or very remote, treks.

Don't panic if you’re lost.Panic is more dangerous than almost anything else, because it interferes with the operation of your single best, most useful and versatile survival tool: your mind. The moment you realize that you are lost, before you do anything else, stop.【4】.Before you act, follow the idea of STOP: S = sit down T = think　O = observe your surroundings P = prepare for survival by gathering materials.

Signal your location.Make noise by whistling, shouting, singing, or banging rocks together. 【5】 . If you're in a mountain meadow, make three piles of dark leaves or branches in a triangle. In sandy areas, make a large triangle in the sand. Three of anything in the wilderness is a standard distress signal.

A. Bring a means of communication.

B. If you can, mark your location in such a way that it's visible from the air.

C. Knowledge of the local plants and animals can save your life

D. If you want to know how to survive in the woods, just follow these steps.

E. Starvation won't be a big problem.

F. Take a deep breath and stay calm.

G. Having strength in numbers will help you survive.

【題目】閱讀理解
You have probably been told by your high school instructor that writing is an important and practical skill. However, you may not be convinced that the ability to write will be important in your own future. If so, you will be surprised at the results of a recent survey by the National Institute of Education. More than four thousand working men and women who had graduated fifteen years earlier were asked to name the courses they would have taken in college if they had known better. The designer of the survey expected people to name courses in computer science, mathematics, or business. But the course most often mentioned was writing.
If you already have a job, you are probably not surprised at their answers. Many jobs require the ability to write. Despite the increasing use of the telephone and the computer, much information must be communicated in writing.Some ten million people—managers, engineers, sales representatives, and many others— write regularly as part of their jobs. Summaries, reports, reports, letters and speeches are required in today's work world. The ability to write, therefore, is an important skill. The successful individual is almost always the one who can communicate successfully in writing.
Writing communicates your thoughts and feelings to others; it also tells you something about yourself. Maybe this is what Eldridge Cleaver had in mind in his autobiography, “I started to write... to save myself...I had to seek out the truth... I had to find out who I am and what I want to be ,what type of man I should be ,and what I could do to become the best of which I was capable.”
（1）Why does the author say writing is very important?
A.Because it is a required course at high school and college.
B.Because it is a way to communicate your thoughts.
C.Because it is an important skill for many jobs.
D.Because it shows your good quality.
（2）The survey conducted by the National Institute of Education shows that.
A.more than 4,000 working people value the course of writing
B.many people regard computer science as a useful course
C.some people would study business if they had a chance
D.most people consider writing to be an important course
（3）The author suggests thatneed to communicate a lot in writing.
A.mangers
B.engineers
C.sales representatives
D.all of the above
（4）Why is Eldridge Cleaver's autobiography mentioned in the passage?
A.To clarify what writing means to people.
B.To show what good writing is.
C.To encourage people to write.
D.To provide evidence for the survey.
