After some time, the little horse came to a river, 4. blocked his path to the mill. He suddenly got 5.(confuse). Looking around, he saw a cow.

The water is very shallow.” When the little horse was about 6.(cross) the river, a squirrel shouted to him, “Don’t cross the river. You will drown.” Not 7.(know) what to do, the little horse decided to go back to ask his mother, who said, “My son, it’s not enough to only listen to others; you have to give it 8. try by yourself, and then you’ll know the answer.”

With those words, he walked carefully across the river. The water was neither shallow nor

9.(deeply). It was just fine for him. Finally the little horse crossed the river and completed his task. He also learned to overcome 10.(difficulty) by practicing instead of only listening to others.

As a little child,1 was always plump（胖的）.In college I started blowing up. It got out of control

when l went to law school.

I'd made a decision a thousand times: I'm going to lose weight now. But what motivated（激發(fā)）

me to get serious about it was turning 30.1 weighed 414 pounds.1 was always tired. Some of my

family members have suffered from heart disease, and l was frightened. I also wanted to look better.

So after my birthday,1 walked into the office of a weight loss doctor.

She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise.

Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the

distance, until one weekend, I heard myself saying, "Wow, this seems pretty easy." So I started to run.

1 was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New

York City Marathon. For years,1 watched the runners and thought, "This looks like fun, but I could

never do that." But now I realized that maybe I could.I joined the New York Road Runners.I ran a

l0km, then a half marathon.I still wasn't confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was

going to do it, no matter what.

By my 33rd birthday,1 was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon.

And on the morning of November l, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than

40,000 0ther runners, waiting for the event to start.

It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I

crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed（向……噴射）me with beer, as if I'd won the Super Bowl.

And at that moment,I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.

1.The underlined phrase "blowing up" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to____.

My parents and two older brothers arrived in Queens from Cuba in 1967, squeezing into a one-bedroom apartment that got even more cramped when I showed up two years later. Suspicious of everyone and unable to communicate in English, my parents weren’t about to let their kids hang out in the streets. And since they both worked, we boys spent a lot of time at home.

The main public library on Merrick Boulevard was the first place I was allowed to visit on my own. I started going there when I was eight. Everything I needing was located on what seemed to me an endless single floor. Wandering around that building aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon offered a sense of freedom I’d never experienced before.

Once my father dropped me off, it didn’t really matter what I did so long as I could explore. I find it interesting that people today say that libraries are no longer about books; they weren’t really about books for me back in the 1970s, either. It was more about being around other people who looked like they were being productive-turning pages, making copies, patiently waiting for items. All this was attractive to me.

I felt a certain level of dignity and self-respect at the library. I didn’t borrow books from the library despite spending practically every Saturday of my childhood there. I certainly went over hundreds and hundreds of them during my walks around the building- sports, politics and the solar system were my favorite sections. But I felt no great need to bring books home. We had no room for books in our apartment anyway. I felt like a poor kid when I read books at home. I felt like everyone else when I read books at the library.

1.The underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph I probably means “________”.

A. dangerous B. shabby C. messy D. crowded

2.What did the author appreciate most about the library?

A. The atmosphere it provides. B. The books he could explore.

C. The productive people in it. D. The seemingly endless floor.

3.The author didn’t borrow books from the library because ________.

A. he had finished reading all the books he preferred

B. he felt like reading at the library to enjoy freedom

C. he didn’t want to lose his dignity and self-respect

D. he was too poor to afford the cost of borrowing books

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. How a Public Library Set Me Free

B. Culture Shock Is Never a Barrier

C. My Aimless and Boring Childhood

D. A Building Shaped a Nation’s Spirit

Despite being used by 1.24 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.

One citizen, however, is trying to change this, “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird,” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another, “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says, Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.

Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them, Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees, “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.

“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.

So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.

1.How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?

A. By putting up posters on the tube.

B. By advocating his idea on the media.

C. By offering passengers special badges.

D. By starting a dialogue with passengers.

2.How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?

A. It has caught international attention.

B. It has become a worldwide campaign.

C. Most passengers have refused to accept it.

D. Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.

3.According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?

A. Hand in their feedback in time.

B. Walk up and talk to strangers.

C. Stop using public transport.

D. Enjoy the peace quietly.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Tube Chat or Not

B. Lonely Travel in London Tube

C. Silence on the Tube

D. Tube Passengers Wearing Badges

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

　　“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

　　Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for vacations during the storm season.

　　Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

　　However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”

1.For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _______.

A. get quickly into their cars for safety

B. wait patiently for the storm to develop

C. head straight for the center of the storm

D. collect information about a coming storm

2.Beginners of storm chasing are advised _______.

A. to do it in an organized way B. to spend much more time on it

C. not to get too close to a storm D. not to drive in a heavy rain

3.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _______.

A. storm chasing costs a lot of money

B. efforts in storm chasing are well paid

C. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting

D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth

4.What is the purpose of the author?

A. To appeal to more people to take the adventures.

B. To give people advice when a storm is coming.

C. To introduce a hobby called storm chasing.

D. To present difficulties of storm chasing.

5.What can we learn from the text?

A. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

B. Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.

C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.

D. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was not leaning when it was built in 1173 and it was straight like a pole. It started to shift direction soon after construction because of poor foundation in addition to the loose layer of subsoil(底土). At the beginning, it leaned to the southeast before the shaky foundation started to shift leaning towards the southwest. After the period of structural strengthening in the beginning of 21st century, now the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees.

In 1178, the shift in direction was observed for the first time when the construction had progressed further to the third floor. The tower was very heavy for the three-meter foundation that was built on a weak area of land.

For compensating(補(bǔ)償) the leaning position, the builders started to construct the upper floors with one side higher than the other one. This caused the tower to lean in the other direction. This unusual structure led to the tower being actually curved. In spite of these efforts, the tower kept on leaning.

The government of Italy started to plan a prevention of the complete collapse of the tower in 1964. However, a request was put forward by the authorities to keep the leaning position because of the tourism industry of the region.

After nearly two decades of careful planning by engineers, historians and mathematicians, the stabilization efforts for the Leaning Tower of Pisa started in 1990. The tower was closed for the general public and the people living nearby moved away. For reducing the total weight of the tower, its seven bells which represented the seven musical notes were removed. The tower was reopened for the general public on December 15, 2001.

In May 2008, after removing another 70 metric tons of earth, the engineers announced that the tower had been finally stabilized and it would remain stable for at least 200 years.

1.Why did the Leaning Tower of Pisa began to lean?

A. It was too high like a pole.

B. Its foundation was far from strong.

C. The work of repair was delayed.

D. Its foundation shook badly.

2.When did people notice the Leaning Tower of Pisa shift its direction?

A. As soon as it was constructed.

B. At the end of the construction.

C. Soon after the construction.

D. In the course of the construction.

3.Why did the authorities prefer to keep the leaning position of the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

A. They wanted to attract more tourists.

B. They lacked funds then.

C. It was a mission impossible to make the Tower up-straight.

D. They were short of engineers, historians and mathematicians.

4.Which of the following is the right order according to this passage?

a. People noticed the tower began to shift its direction.

b. The repair work was carried out last time.

c. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was repaired for the first time.

d. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was built.

e. The tower was opened to the visitors again.

f. The government started to make a plan for the tower.

A. c, d, a, f, b, e

B. f, e, a, d, c, b

C. d, e, b, f, c, a

D. d, a, f, c, e, b

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有責(zé)任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?______.

A. Parents bring up children.

B. Parents give love and care to children.

C. Parents educate children to be good persons.

D. Parents pass away before children grow up.

2.What do you think “florists” do?______.

A. They sell flowers. B. They make and sell bread.

C. They offer enough room for having family parties. D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

3.What do you know from the passage?________.

A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.

B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.

C. Not all the children respect their parents

D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.
