閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、和 D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.

As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.

When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.

Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it." Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.

After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."

1.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?

A. She was driving home.

B. She was resting on the road.

C. She was taking exercise.

D. She was feeding wild animals.

2.What did Alexis do to save Sue?

A. She pushed the deer away.

B. She hit the deer with her feet

C. She drove the car to hit the deer.

D. She beat the deer with a hammer.

3.Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?

A. Strong. B. Cruel. C. Energetic. D. Brave.

4. What is the best title for the passage?

A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured

B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman

C. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully

D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack

Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you’re unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means(方式) to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes.

Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹沒) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.

Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm(熱心,熱情) adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.

Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you’re hungry.

Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but someone who likes a library.

Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.

Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.

Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

1.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that ________.

A. though materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied

B. though materially rich, they remain spiritually poor

C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life

D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage

2.It can be learned from the passage that ________.

A. more money brings more happiness

B. art is needed to make your house beautiful

C. literature can enrich your spiritual life

D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness

3.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Interest and Enthusiasm

B. Secret of Wealth

C. Rest and Refreshment

D. House of Life

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

We’ve all heard about the power of positive thinking, but a recent study found that people who think they’re getting fit actually get more positive benefits from activity, according to a Reuters Health article.

The study examined hotel housekeepers over a period of four weeks. Some of the housekeepers were told that their work duties gave them enough activity to meet the Surgeon General’s health guidelines (準則). Another group of housekeepers were told nothing. After four weeks, the housekeepers who believed their work activity counted as exercise lost weight and body fat, and their blood pressure went down.

The results of this study suggest that it’s important to understand and believe in the positive benefits of your activity. So here are a few things to think about the next time you exercise:

Just thirty minutes of quick walking each day can greatly reduce your risk of a heart attack. Even your housework ― like yard work and house cleaning ― can help you burn calories and increase your fitness levels.

Weight bearing activity just a few times a week can build bone density (密度) and reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis (骨質(zhì)疏松).

Three 10-minute workouts（鍛煉） throughout the day are just as good to your health as one long workout.

Moderate (適度的) amounts of exercise have been linked to lower rates of heart disease, stroke and even cancer.

Strength training can help make daily activities like carrying bags or laundry feel easier.

Regular exercise will reduce stress, keep you in a good mood and improve the quality of your sleep.

1.The main purpose of this passage is to _____.

A. encourage people to think they will get fit in different activities

B. tell people how to finish the work duties better

C. tell people how to lose weight

D. advise people to do more housework

2.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. thought is more important than activity

B. housekeepers lead a happier life than workers

C. positive thinking does good to our health

D. if one wants to get fit, think more

3.The housekeepers who were told their work would keep them fit _____.

A. found it hard to finish their work on time

B. lost weight and enjoyed better health

C. had little sense of humor

D. gained weight after the work

4.Which of the following is NOT the suggested things to think about when you exercise?

A. Housework helps burn calories.

B. Regular exercise leads to better sleep.

C. Weight bearing activity does good to people.

D. Walking a dog reduces the chance of a heart disease.

Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch—or wake up early in order not to miss—varies by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.

Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time”starting on October 36.

Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 am.

Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.

Similarly, Americans’ late nights late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.

Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey(冰球）final.

The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation(剝奪）, The worst night for sleep in the U.K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 15. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.

It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns, in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, though, the above findings are still striking, If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?

1.What does the author say about people’s sleeping habits?

A. They are culture-related .

B. They affect people’s health

C.They change with the seasons.

D.They vary from person to person.

2.What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?

A. They don’t sleep much on weekends.

B. They get less sleep on public holidays

C.They don’t fall asleep until very late.

D.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.

3.What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their patterns?

A. They are involved in a sleep research.

B. They have trouble falling asleep.

C. They want to get sufficient sleep.

D. They want to go to bed on regular hours.

4. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A. Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health.

B. Few people really know the importance of sleep.

C. It is important to study our sleep patterns.

D.Average people probably sleep less than the rich.

Understanding one's own history is important for young people's learning and development. Students are often asked to write a story about their own family's history or about a special person in their family. But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people, in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular situation.

When people understand their own history, they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives. Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are. ,

Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history. And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family's experience in 1944.This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people. But in today's situation, those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake.

If our society is ever to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history, including what has happened to our Native American, African-American and Latino friends, our schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories. Families and related social bodies must do the same.

1.According to Paragraph 1, a good knowledge of our own history can help us_____.

A. become good at writing stories

B. make our influence on the society stronger

C. gain a good understanding of our present situation

D. understand the importance of learning and development

2.What does the underlined phrase "grapple with" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Manage. B. Recover.

C. Exercise. D. Determine.

3.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the author's family's experience in 1944 was_____.

A. interesting B. surprising

C. harmful D. painful

4.The passage mainly encourages us to_____.

A. write our own stories

B. learn our own history

C. understand the importance of history

D. have a proper attitude towards history

My brother is training to a vet. He’s a hard worker so I think he’ll do very better in his final exams. I’d be surprising if he didn’t find the position right away at an animal hospital. But there was the possibility that he might work at a zoo or maybe an animal park. In several years’s time, he could possible have him own clinic. And the next step could be opening his own animal hospital----who know? Because he has always loved animals, so I can see him being a success in this field. He’ll enjoy every minutes of it !
