For humans, climbing Mount Qomolangma is seen as a great impressive achievement. People make movies, write books, and have essentially developed a whole industry surrounding the challenge that is this mountain. While we consider climbing the mountain as an athletic achievement, there is one animal, the bar-headed goose, does not think so.

As the species migrates (遷徙) from Central Asia to Southeast Asia every autumn, it must cross over the Himalayan range. These mountains force the bar-headed goose to fly at around 30,000 feet above sea level, which is the highest altitude for migratory birds.

These geese have special adaptions that allow them to survive at the altitude. For example, a special protein (蛋白質(zhì)) in blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body allows their blood cells to combine with oxygen. Their circulatory system provides a constant supply of fresh, oxygenated blood to their wing muscles (肌肉). They have much larger lungs than other birds, which give them the ability to take in more air.

Scientists initially believe that the geese flow at an extremely high altitude for the full length of their migration. But later the data suggests that the birds use a much more effective way of travel. Instead of remaining at an extremely high altitude to fly over the mountain range, the geese hug the mountains, flying up and down depending on the obstacles (障礙物) in their way. This works better for them because they don’t have to use all their energy flying in an area with low oxygen; they can spend time flying at lower altitudes.

The geese also make use of nature to make this work easier. To fly down, they simply allow gravity to pull them. To fly back up, they make use of orographic (地形的) lift, which happens when flowing air meets an obstacle, such as a mountain. The mountain forces the air up, creating an upward draft. The birds take advantage of this draft, expending less of their own energy to fly up the mountain.

The way these birds have adapted to flying across the Asian continent during their annual migration is certainly an amazing way to see nature at work.

1.What does the underlined part "this work” in Paragraph 5 most probably refer to?

A. To fly down. B. To fly back up.

C. To fly over the mountain. D. To fly at lower altitudes.

2.How do the geese behave while crossing over the Himalayan range?

A. By flowing at an extremely high altitude all the way.

B. By taking advantage of the orographic lift.

C. By smoothing the obstacles in their way.

D. By forcing the air up, creating an upward draft.

3.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. The geese’s amazing migration.

B. The highest flying record of geese.

C. The flying mystery of geese.

D. Mount Qomolangma and its geese.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Will you help old when he/she falls down on the street? A recently survey from our class meeting shows that eighty percent of the students think they are sure to help the old because of saving life is more important as anything else. Fifteen percent of the students says whether they help or not depends on the circumstances. However, five percent hold a view which the old shouldn’t be helped. First, they lack the knowledge of first aid, not know how to deal with the situation. Second, they are afraid of getting into trouble.

In my opinion, we should help each others, especially the old people. Please remember “respect the old” is one of our best tradition. Everyone will become old, and if such a case happens to you one day when we’re old, I will say I do need your help.

Thank you.

The ninth week of SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) training is referred to (意指) as Hell Week. It is six days of no sleep, physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼) where you will sink into the mud.

It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours keeping alive in the freezing-cold mud, the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.

As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken some of the rules, was ordered into the mud. We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up — just five men and we could get out of the cold.

Looking around the mud flat, it was clear that some of us were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up—eight more hours of coldness. Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to fly through the night—one voice raised in song.

The song sounded terrible, but it was sung with great power. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing.

We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well. The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on and on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.

If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. The power can change the world by giving people hope.

So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you’re up to your neck in mud.

1.What did the writer experience during Hell Week?

A. He suffered sleeplessness for one day. B. He was physically and mentally crazy.

C. He went through some hard tests. D. He sank into the mud for the week.

2.Why did the class have the experience at the Mud Flat?

A. Because they wanted to break the rules. B. Because the weather was terribly bad.

C. Because it was one of the training courses. D. Because the instructors were strict with them.

3.What did the class do when they were in the mud?

A. Five of them gave up. B. They cried all the time.

C. Someone sang from the beginning. D. Everybody joined in the singing.

4.What is probably the author’s job?

A. A terrorist. B. A soldier. C. An instructor. D. A trainer.

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Singing helps change the world. B. Singing solves problems in life.

C. People should help each other. D. Hope helps pull through difficulties.

I’ve always known that dogs are clever, but even I was surprised when I heard about a dog called Red, at the Battersea Dog’s Home in London.

The home has been caring for lost and unwanted animals for over 140 years. Recently, the workers there got amazed when they came to work in the morning. They found that some of the dogs had got out of their kennels(狗窩) during the night, opened cupboards and taken out of food and toys. And it happened again, and again. The manager described how as many as nine dogs were escaping every night. “When we came in, dogs were running around having fun and games and causing a lot of mess. We couldn’t understand it.”

Someone or something was unlocking the kennels during the night. The manager decided that the only way to know the truth was to put in cameras to record how the dogs were getting out.

When she and her workers played back the recording, they saw Red, a three-year-old dog, put his nose through the bars of his kennel and use his teeth to press the button that opened the door. That was clever enough, but Red did more: he unlocked the kennels next to his and let the dogs out too. The group broke into cupboards and stole dog biscuits and toys to play with.

The manager said, “It’s surprising that Red worked out how to open his own kennel, but also that he then let all his friends out.” I suppose, Red didn’t like to party alone.

The story has a happy ending: after Red was shown on TV, several people came and offered to give him a new home as a family pet.

A. To ask people to look after unwanted dogs.

B. To describe dogs escaping from the Dog’s Home.

D. To introduce the work done by the Battersea Dog’s Home.

2.What did Red do after he go out of his kennel at night?

A. He slept in a cupboard.

B. He let the other dogs out.

C. He took biscuits and toys back to the other dogs.

D. He showed the other dogs how to unlock their doors.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. Red didn’t like being at the Dog’s Home.

B. Red and his friends had a good time when they escaped.

The Harp Seal is one of nature’s most beautiful and appealing (吸引人的) creatures. Many years ago it was hunted for its fur. Hunting Harp Seals is now illegal.

The seals spend the summer months migrating (遷徙) in large groups. Harp Seals close their nostrils (鼻孔) and earholes when diving in water, but have to surface frequently to breathe. Their favourite place to rest is on the top of icebergs.

The female Harp Seal gives birth in February or March and feeds her pups for 14-18 days. Baby Harp Seals begin to lose their white fur at around six to eight weeks of age. As an adult, the Harp Seal has brown skin. At birth, Harp Seals weigh 12kg but can weigh up to 130kg as adults. Harp Seals eat small fish, shrimps and krill. However, they are able to switch from one food to another depending on what they can get as food. Males have a lifespan of 29 years while females usually live for longer than 30 years.

Since the Canadian Government introduced laws to protect the seal pups from hunters, their numbers have increased to more than one million. Now every year, thousands of tourists flock to the pack ice to witness the wonderful sight of new pups born in spring.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Hunting Harp Seals is illegal.

B. Protecting Harp Seals.
