Then, I took each of the apples and peeled（削皮）them, 32 them back on the table, but 33 a different place. 
“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which.”
He said, “I 34 tell. They all look same now. ” “Take a bite of 35. See if that helps you 36 which one is which. ”
He took 37, and then a huge smile came across his face. . ”People are 38 like apples! They are all different, but once you 39 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”

Years ago, as a young mom with two small children, I struggled to keep up with the demands of a busy life. One day, I woke up feeling so tired that I knew something had to change!
A friend gave me some Royal Jelly—an amazing substance(物質(zhì))from the beehive(蜂房). I was doubtful, but desperate…so I tried it! In time, I began to experience renewed energy and vitality(活力)like never before! Now, over two decades later, I travel all round the country, sharing my life-changing experience. I’m grateful for the energy to keep up and love to share this wonderful discovery with others.

Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery（謎） inside a puzzle”. Observers of Russia in the 21st century could surely say the same of the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Born in Leningrad, six months before the death of Stalin, the young Putin experienced a poverty-stricken childhood but received a good education. He developed lifelong interests in judo and spy novels, and first applied to the KGB(蘇聯(lián)國(guó)家安全委員會(huì)) at the age of 17. When they told him to go away and come back with a degree, he completed with an efficiency(效率) that would later serve him well.
Putin used his KGB training, plus his own discipline and common sense, in a series of jobs. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008. 
Due to term limits, Putin was unable to run for a third presidential term. After the victory of  Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was appointed to be Russia’s Prime Minister.
Putin is regarded as one bringing political stability and re-establishing the rule of law. During his presidency, Russia’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)) bounced back, seeing GDP increase by 72%, poverty cut more than half, and average monthly salaries increase from $80 to $640. Analysts have described Putin's economic reforms as impressive. At the same time, his conduct in office has been questioned by political opposition at home, foreign governments, and human rights organizations for leading the Second Chechen War, and for his record on human rights and freedoms.
Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new stage, or believes in the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet. To do this, Vladimir Putin may have to show his true colors sooner rather than later.
小題1: What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Mysterious President of Russia
B．Russia’s High-growth Economy
C．Russia’s Far Past and Near Future
D．The Political Situation in Russia
小題2: Which of the following helps Putin’s success in presidential election?
A．His family background.B．His belief in Soviet.
C．His efficiency in jobs.D．His love for freedom.
小題3: What happened in Russia during Putin’s presidency?
A．The number of the poor reduced to 50%.
B．Every Russian enjoyed equal rights.
C．Russia’s economy picked up rapidly.
D．Russian people lived a peaceful life.
小題4:  What can we learn about Putin from the text?
A．He gains respect of foreign governments.
B．He always fought for human rights.
C．He ran for president a third time.
D．He is a politician of great achievements.

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-­based Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence (發(fā)生) of crime, drug­taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不穩(wěn)定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-­child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨詢) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
小題1: What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To urge awareness on mental health of the young.
B．To give details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.
C．To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help students.
D．To show us causes of the mental problems among students.
小題2: The underlined word “addressed” in the fourth paragraph most probably means ________.
A．talked aboutB．dealt withC．decidedD．introduced
小題3:From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following EXCEPT ________.
A．one­-child policy
B．lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations well
C．lack of special training in mental health
D．heavy burden from study
小題4: We can learn that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, ________.
A．special attention should be paid to the mental health of the young
B．psychologists must be a necessary part of schools
C．the government should cancel tests to ease the pressure on the students
D．parents must try their best to meet all the needs of their children

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Four hundred years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei became the first person to see the craters（環(huán)形山） on the moon. Galileo was one of the first people to use a telescope to study the sky. Since then, telescopes have become the most important tool used by astronomers. Scientists never stop finding new ways to make these instruments more powerful. In the next several years, two new telescopes with different purposes are to be used.
One of the telescopes, called Pan-STARRS, could save humans from dying out. Nick Kaiser, a scientist who works on the project, says the Pan-STARRS telescope has been designed to find “90 percent of all killer asteroids(小行星) near Earth”.
Pan-STARRS, like most telescopes, uses mirrors and lenses(透鏡) to provide pictures of outer space. Giant mirrors are used to “gather” light. They reflect the light onto the lens of a camera, which can then record the image.
When completed, Pan-STARRS will include four telescopes which will be put on top of a mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Only one telescope is in place and working now. Each telescope will take pictures of one patch of sky for about 30 seconds, and then move on to another patch. Every night, each telescope will take pictures of about 1,000 patches. Every week, each telescope will have photographed the whole sky.
Each of the four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky. One telescope, working alone, may sometimes incorrectly show an asteroid. If there are three other telescopes working, astronomers can use them to see if there really is an asteroid coming our way. By using four telescopes instead of one, scientists hope to get a better picture of space. If a giant asteroid was identified, astronomers would try to break it up long before it reached Earth.
小題1: Galileo Galilei is mentioned to ____________.
A．tell us the history of telescopes
B．introduce the topic of the passage
C．show people his contributions
D．tell us about the craters on the moon
小題2: For what purpose is Pan-STARRS designed?
A．To find more asteroids around Earth.
B．To help scientists know Earth better.
C．To find killer asteroids coming towards Earth.
D．To learn about asteroids in outer space.
小題3:What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The use of mirrors in a telescope.
B．Why Pan-STARRS is different.
C．How telescope “gather” light
D．How a telescope works.
小題4:How many patches is the whole sky divided into when Pan-STARRS is working?
A．1,000B．7,000C．21,000D．28,000
小題5: The four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky because _____.
A．one telescope often takes unclear pictures
B．one telescope may provide incorrect information
C．information from just one telescope is usually incorrect
D．no information is allowed to be identified based on single information
