There was a boy who was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (attracting) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The  boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, _36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice, _37_, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the _38_ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe, _39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest _40_he was unable to touch it. He began to _41_ up and down, as high as he could, at the _42_of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of _43_.
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to _44_on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to _45_the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking _46_, he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, _47_ luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. _48_seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk_49_. At first, he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his _50_, and how he really wanted that apple. The more he _51_like this, the more unhappy he became.
_52_, the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “This isn’t_53_.I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad as well. There is _54_ more I can do to get the apple— that is unchangeable —but we are supposed to be able to _55_our feelings. If that is the case, what can I do to feel better?

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after 31 thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head 32 his walking stick.McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a 33  person, he had been 34 to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a 35 collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays 36 .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our37 ,” said Laurence.She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant 38  bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks.“We'd be 39 there happily reading our newspapers, when 40 so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd 41 with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the 42 of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too 43. “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake.The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” 44 , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet 45.Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast.“I couldn't 46 him.He was up there in a flash.It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police.He has also promised to change his 47 from now on.And what of James McKay? 48 he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”.“49 the most exciting birthday 50 !” said the cheerful old man.“The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.
One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, But it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.
In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, And one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation.
Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.
小題1:The scientists of Marie Curie’s day knew .
A.that uranium gave off radiation
B.that radium gave off radiation
C.that there was some radium in uranium
D.that uranium and radium both gave off radiation
小題2:The Curies found the element radium .
A.with other scientists’ helpB.by asking some famous scientists
C.by doing many experimentsD.with their teachers’ help
小題3:In the past many people thought .
A.that women must get the same chance as men in education and jobs
B.that women should receive much education
C.that women should get good jobs
D.that women could not do the work well
小題4:Marie Curie proved to people .
A.that there was a new element uranium
B.that there was a new element radium
C.that women could do their work as well as men if they were really given the same conditions
D.both B and C

Would you believe that the first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman? His name was Laurent Clerc. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America's first school for the deaf.
Laurent Clerc was born in a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell.
At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he did well in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.
Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.
The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Clerc studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.
At the school, Clerc led a busy life. He taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education.
In 1819, Clerc married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to return to France, he never did. He died on July 18, 1869 in the United States.
小題1:Why did Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet sail to London?
A.He needed to finish his studies to become a minister.
B.It was the easiest way to get to France.
C.He wanted to study their system of deaf education.
D.He wanted to marry Alice Cogswell.
小題2:On their trip from Paris to America, Clerc and Gallaudet ___________.
A.played cards and socialized
B.studied and discussed their plans for a deaf school
C.founded a school for the deaf
D.Gallaudet studied English and Clerc studied Sign Language
小題3:Which is the right order of the things Clerc did?
A.met Gallaudet, moved to America, got married, went to school in Paris.
B.met Gallaudet, went to school in Paris, moved to America, got married.
C.went to school in Paris, met Gallaudet, moved to America, got married.
D.got married, went to school in Paris, met Gallaudet, moved to America.
小題4:The main idea of this passage could best be stated as_________.
A.Clerc managed his time well, and was able to teach a lot of information in a short period of time
B.Thomas Gallaudet was grateful to Clerc for all that he taught him
C.Clerc preferred teaching deaf students to hearing students
D.Clerc, an educated Frenchman, had a great impact on American Deaf Education

I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.   
小題1:From the story we know that the policeman______.  
A.was kind but didn’t understand the writer?
B.told the writer where to take a train
C.knew what the writer really meant

A.The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.?
B.The writer got to the hotel with the policeman’s help.?
C.The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.?

Have you ever wished you could solve complex math problems without thinking? What about learning to play the piano in just three days? Or mastering several foreign languages within a month?
Eddie Morra, the main character in the movie Limitless can do all these things. But he isn’t Superman or Harry Potter. Eddie has taken pills called NZT.
Thriller Limitless came out in China on October 13. In the movie, Eddie is faced with “writer’s block”. He hasn’t written a single word of a novel, and his deadline has passed. And there’s more bad news: his girlfriend breaks up with him. By chance, Eddie runs into a relative who is a drug dealer. He gives Eddie some pills called NZT that allow people to make use of 100 percent of their brains. With the magic pills, Eddie’s life changes completely. He can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard. He gains a sixth sense that allows him to predict future events. He even becomes a kungfu master by simply memorizing actions in Bruce Lee’s movie.
Before long he has finished his novel, won back his girlfriend and stepped into the financial world. He becomes rich incredibly quickly and is soon employed by a powerful Wall Street company. However, bad side effects are just around the corner. The effects of the pill last for only one or two days, and Eddie has to find more supplies of the pills. Meanwhile, the pills start to have other effects on him. Eddies’ mind loses the ability to control the actions of his body. What does destiny hold for him? Will he be able to go back to his normal life?
“Eddie’s fate turns out to be a barbed (諷刺的) joke… a sharp-eyed comic fable for an age of greed (貪婪)and speed.” writes A. O. Scott, a movie critic with the New York Times.
The drug isn’t real-----yet, some researchers say such memory-enhancing drugs might not be far off. Would you take such a pill despite its side effects? Is the ability to remember everything a blessing or a curse?
小題1:Which of the following happened to Eddie after he took the pill?
A.He can easily call everyone in the world.
B.He can expect what will happen next with his sixth sense.
C.He can control a powerful Wall Street company and becomes rich.
D.He can make a special pill to improve his own memory.
小題2:What’s A. O. Scott’s opinion of the movie?
A. The movie can help slow our pace in life.
B. The movie turned out to be only a joke.
C. The movie can help invent a memory-enhancing drug.
D. The movie aims to show something is wrong with our society.
小題3:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Memory-enhancing is sure to do good to us.
