Singapore was just a sleepy city in South-east Asia more than 50 years ago. But the small dot on the world map has since developed into one of the richest nations thanks to its founder and first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, the father of the state, who passed away on March 23, 2015 at the age of 91.
Lee grew up in the Singapore that was part of the British Empire. As a law major who graduated from Cambridge University and the founder of the People's Action Party, he became Singapore's first Prime Minister in 1959 when British agreed to the island's self-rule.
Lee was a leader with vision(遠(yuǎn)見).He knew that without agriculture and natural resources, Singapore could only find a way out by developing it?self into a place perfect for business. So he began with a few simple ideas : Singapore needed respect for elders and the law, hard work, and the idea that the needs of society are greater than the individual's. He united Chi?nese, Indians and Malays, making English a common language. He fought corruption and even banned chewing gum. That helped change Singapore from a poor city in the 1950s to a world business centre with a GDP per ca?pita of $ 55 ,000, reported the Financial Times.
Lee left the office of Prime Minister in 1990 but remained a member of parliament. He resigned as "Minister Mentor" in 2011. He was happy with his work; "I have no regrets. I have spent my life, so much of it, building up this country. There's nothing more that I need to do."
To the world, Lee was one of Asia's most popular politicians. He was one of the first to spot the potential of China under a former leader Deng Xiaoping and contributed to China's reform and opening up. "No small num?ber of this and past generations of world leaders have asked for his advice on governance and development," said the US President Obama. "Lee is a vi?sionary and a true giant of history."
5. How long did Lee Kuan Yew serve as Singapore's Prime Minister?
A. 52 years. B.31 years.
C.56 years. D.50 years.
6. From the passage, we can see Lee Kuan Yew was a(n) per?son.
A. confident and hard-working
B. honest and determined
C. wise and devoted
D. modest and optimistic
7. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that .
A. under British rule, Singapore developed very fast
B. Lee made no difference to China's development
C. Lee foresaw that China would rise and become powerful
D. Lee wasn't very content with his efforts and achievements
8. The last paragraph mainly tells us_____ .
A. Lee's contributions to other countries
B. Lee's relations with China
C. Lee's popularity in Asia
D. Obama's admiration for Lee
B

Dear Sir,
Last night I got caught in the heavy rain on the way to home. As the result, I got a bad cold with a headache. I felt very tiring. My mother took me see the doctor. After the examination, the doctor told me to make it easy. He said it was nothing seriously. He also told me to have a good rest for a couple of days, take the medicine on time and drunk more boiled wa?ter. So I have to ask you about a three-day leave. After I recover, I would try to make up for the missing lessons. If there are anything I do not under?stand, could I turn to you for help?
Yours, Mike

We live in a sweet world. The average American kids eat more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% more sugar today thati they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isn^t good for us. But did we know it could be dangerous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to do a study on the bad effects of sugar. They found it could have serious effects on people's health.
Sugar is found not only in sweets and candies, but also in many house?hold items like pasta and crackers.
During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed a diet containing 25% more sugar. This percentage equals a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as mice fed a similar diet without the sugar. Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, male mice produced 25% fewer offspring (后代)than the other mice.
Scientists often use mice for research because they have a similar genetic(基因的)structure to humans. "Since most substances (物質(zhì))that are danger?ous in mice are also dangerous in people, it's likely that those physical prob?lems that cause those mice to have increased deaths also work in people," says study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings from this study show bad effects that are not as noticeable as weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that can change development and even shorten lives.
Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our nation's sugar need will provide for a truly sweeter future.
12. The study done by researchers aimed at learning about____ .
A. the advantages and disadvantages of sugar
B. the bad effects of sugar on people's health
C. the genetic structure of mice
D. American's eating habits
13. According to the study, which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. Sugar can even shorten lives.
B. Sugar's bad effects are not noticeable.
C. Eating much more sugar can make mice put on weight and get high blood pressure.
D. Mice are more likely to die when fed a diet containing 25 % more sugar.
14. From the passage we can infer______ .
A. sugar plays a very important role in Americans' diet
B. kids eat more sugar than adults in America
C. the study on human beings lasted 58 weeks
D. the genetic structure of mice is totally different from that of people
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Living a sweet life B. Kids eat much more sugar
C. Genetic structure of humans D. Danger of too much sugar

This could be the perfect gift for the partner who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach you to dance, may be the an?swer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners im?prove their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately (精確地)re-cord not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes(最大化)his/her performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibres (纖維)that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors (傳感器)record each movement and send it by an ankle trans?mitter (腳裸發(fā)射器)to a smart phone. Then a "virtual coach" application shows the information and can tell the users,what they are doing wrong, aijd help improve skills in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. "People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well," Dr Da vide Vigano said. A recent study showed that be?tween 60 and 80 per cent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf? or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr Vigano said, "People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.,,
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around $ 120, which will go on sale in March.
12. What does the underlined part "anyone with two left feet" refer to?
A. People who are disabled.
B. People who are interested in dancing.
C. People who are not good at dancing.
D. People who invented the socks.
13. What's special about fibres that the socks are made of?
A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.
B. They can monitor the movements of feet.
C. They are expensive to produce.
D. They act as a smart phone for users.
14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?
A. They can improve the skill of running.
B. They can help women walk better in high heels.
C. They can teach people to dance well.
D. They can be worn for days without washing.
15. According to Dr Vigano, _______ .
A. everyone can make good use of the smart socks
B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks
C. 60 to 80 per cent of runners would like to buy the smart socks
D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks

English idioms(習(xí)語)are widely used,especially in the spoken language. Here are some examples for you. Do you know what they mean? By the skin of your teeth
If you just succeed in doing something and come very close to failing,people might say you do it "by the skin of your teeth". For example, you pass a test by just a few points or win a match by a little bit.
Ask for the moon
If someone tells you not to ask for the moon,they mean you can't ask for something that you cannot get or have,or try for something impossible. On cloud nine
This expression is used to describe how you feel when something good happens to you,such as when you win first prize in a competition,when you get an A in an exam,or when you receive a nice present from your parents which you want to get so much.
Sick as a dog
If you are feeling very ill,you may have used this expression. Dogs eat everything they find,which means they may easily get sick. So when people say that you are "sick as a dog", don't feel strange or even angry because they don't mean to offend(冒犯)you.
Have your heart in your mouth
This expression means that you're really scared or nervous about something. The ancient Greek poet Homer used the expression when he wrote the famous poem The Iliad,and people have been using it ever since.
