Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked(锁上的). “How will I ever get out again？” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimeters high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.
“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller？” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters.
“It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles，” she said. “What will it do to me？” She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now，” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”
She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it, and found a very small cake with the words EAT Me on it.
Nothing could surprise Alice now.

MSG(monosodium glutamate) is a food additive(食品添加剂)，which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original(原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions(反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat(心跳)．It was also reported that MSG excited a person’s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders(神经紊乱)．In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”，“hydrolyzed protein”and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.
( )1. Monosodium Glutamate is ________
A. a food B. an additive　　
C. a factory D. a country
( )2. MSG is often used in ________.

D. you must report the food to your parents
( )5. The underlined word “substance” in the article means ________.

In general, it’s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn’t realize how difficult it was until my class in the high school began.
I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasn’t very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.
So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.
Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. The under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.
It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.
Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.

The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK.

The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake.
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide(隐藏) under the machines and survive, but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings.
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education Making a Split Second Decision shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake.
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(专家) find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.
In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run，” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.
Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds. ”
( )1. The word “survive” appears in the passage several times. It probably means
________in Chinese.
A. 遇难 B. 幸存
C. 恐慌 D. 摇晃
( )2. The workers who tried to run outside the building died because ________.
A. the factory building was shaking terribly
B. they were making a film
C. they didn’t have enough time to run outside
D. they were too nervous
( )3. The passage suggests that you should ________when an earthquake happens.
A. cry for help

Important tips for better flash photos
Don't stand too far back from your subject. The flash on most cameras will not cover any subject well over three metres away. Even in non-flash photos many photographers stand too far away from their subjects. As a result, the subjects are small with great areas of unimportant background.
Watch the background carefully and be sure there are no mirrors or shiny things to reflect (反射) the flash back to the camera lens (镜头).
When taking pictures of people, ask them not to look into the lens but at a point over your shoulder, because it is very possible that the flash will reflect from their eyes and there will be red eyes in the photo.
Try to give the subjects an interesting background. If there is nothing for two metres behind the subject, the background will come out black or very dark. Of course, you don't want an untidy background, because it will take people's attention away from your subject.
If taking a picture of a baby, be sure the room is as light as possible so that the flash does not hurt his / her eyes.
（ ）48. To avoid red eyes in the photo, the best place people should look at is_________.
A. the sun in the sky
B. the mirror behind the photographer
C. the lens of the camera
D. a point over the photographer's shoulder
（ ）49. Which of the following is the right way to take a flash picture of a baby in a room?
A. Making the room as light as possible.
B. Having the baby sit in front of a mirror.
C. Helping the baby look at the camera lens.
D. Keeping the baby five metres away from the camera.
（ ）50. When taking flash pictures, we should be sure that_________.
A. there is nothing shiny in the background
B. there are interesting things in front of the subjects
C. there are as many beautiful things as possible in the background
D. there are great areas of black or dark background

Everyone has got two personalities（性格）-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hopes too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up（蜷缩）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well—balanced（平衡的） personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry
( ) 51. You may find the passage in .

Dear Malio and Sasha，
I knew that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for(竞选) President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.
I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you’ll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our each cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal(平等的)．
I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.
Love, Dad

Florida school children chose the panther as the state animal.
What is the Florida panther?
Florida panthers are a type of mountain lion. The Florida panther is the only group of mountain lions east of the Mississippi River. The panther stands for beauty and power of life.
Is the Florida panther endangered?
In 1967 the government listed the Florida panther as endangered. Endangered means that without human help an animal or plant will become extinct. Extinct means that the animal or plant will never again stay alive on earth.
What do Florida panthers look like?
Panthers are about 10 times as big as a housecat. Like all cats they have very sharp claws and teeth. They need sharp claws and teeth to kill and eat their food. Florida panthers are tawny (the same color as deer). The fur on their bellies and the inside of their legs is lighter, and the fur on their backs, tails, and legs is darker. These are Florida panther paw prints:
Front paw
Length: 3 inches
Width: 3.5 inches
Hind paw
Length: 3 inches
Width: 3 inches
What do Florida panthers eat?
Panthers only eat meat. Panthers eat deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Sometimes they eat birds and even alligators. No panther has ever even killed a person.
What kinds of families do panthers have?
Panther females and kittens make up the panther family. The father does not help take care of the kittens. Panthers may have from 1 to 4 kittens. Panthers leave their mothers when they are about 2 years old. Growing up is harder for boy panthers than girl panthers. Girls often stay near their mother. Boys must try to find a home range of their own.
Where do Florida panthers live?
Panthers need lots of land. The area where a panther hunts is its home range. They prefer hardwood hammocks and pine forest with lots of palmettos for their range. Panthers usually rest during the day hidden in thickets of palmetto. At dusk they begin to travel and hunt. Unless you are very lucky, you will probably never see a panther in the wild. But you can help them by protecting the lands they need to keep alive. You can support efforts to recover the panther from being endangered.
53. Which of the following looks like the panther most?

A. B. C. D.
54. The underlined word “extinct” means “________”.
A. dead B. brave C. bright D. natural
55. The panther was chosen as the state animal mainly because ______.
A. No panther has ever even killed a person.
B. The panther is beautiful and full of energy.
C. People will never see a panther in the wild.
D. Panthers leave their mothers at an early age.
56. How do people protect the panther in Florida?
A. They take panthers to the zoo.
B. They give panthers enough meat.
C. They keep the land safe for panthers.
D. They help to look after small panthers.

When we found Tony, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were dirty. There was blood all over his arm. Before we reached him we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked a few yards with difficulty through the woods and fell again. When we lifted him off the ground, he tried to break away and run, like a wild animal.
After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His footprints showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so weak by fear that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. He was very tired. We found him just in time. This man, like others before him, was full of fear when he knew he was lost.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of watching out. An experienced woodsman always keeps an eye on the things around him. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction that water flows through the mountain, and everything along with him when he travels—how a tree leans across it and how a rock stands. He sees the way and the general flows of water. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but his way is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does get into some strange difficulty that puts him into the “lost” column. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass to show him the direction. Darkness may find him in a very hard situation, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of difficulty as a result of this poor woodsmanship. He may also worry about the trouble that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. If he is short of experience, he may keep on the move in an effort to find the camp against all bad happenings. And the result is that he might walk in circles or in the wrong direction and in the end beat himself out physically and mentally—he will be found mad and crazy.
57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Tony went to look for a wild animal.
B. Tony found his gun in the circle he walked.
C. A man will be full of fear when he gets lost.
D. A man won’t get lost if he has a sense of direction.
58. The word “woodsmanship” refers to ______.
A. ways of protecting the forest
B. the art of travelling in the forests
C. the experience of finding a lost man
D. skills of helping people in the woods
59. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Don’t Be Mad B. Fears in the Forest
C. Easy to Get Lost D. What to Do in the Forest

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态) water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres—500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft travelling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Glliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists could find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
( )1. What did scientists find in September 2010?
A. A planet with water.
B. A planet similar to the earth.
C. A planet without life.
D. A planet near the earth.
( )2. According to the article, Glises 581g ________.
A. is at the right distance from its star
B. moves around the earth
C. is as far away from us as the moon
D. can be reached in about 220 years
( )3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g
B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g
C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g
D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g
( )4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?

A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. While he was building roads and house in the soft sand, he discovered a large stone in the middle of the sandbox.
Determined, the little boy pushed and pulled, but every time he thought he had made some progress, the stone tipped and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy tried his best, but his only reward(回报) was to have the stone roll back, hitting his fingers.
Finally the boy cried. All that time the boy’s father watched him from his living room window. At the moment tears fell, his father came to the boy and the sandbox. Gently but surely he said,“Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had? ”Sadly the boy cried back, “But I did, Daddy, I did! I use all the strength（力量） that I had!” “No, son,” corrected the father kindly. “You didn’t use all the strength you had. You didn’t ask me.” With that the father reached down, picked up the stone and removed it from the sandbox.
Do you have “stones” in your life that need to be removed? Are you discovering that you aren’t strong enough to lift them? There is ONE who is always ready to give us the strength we need. Isn’t it funny how we try so hard to do things ourselves?

When you cough or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say，” Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students.
It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do kids. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway(地铁) in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(病菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit”. That means “Good health to you. “ Both expressions are said just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put the advice to use more often.
( )1. The writer of this article must be ________ .
A. a reporter B. a teacher

Do you still remember the terrible earthquake in 2008 in Sichuan, which killed at least 87,000 people and left millions homeless? On the twelfth day after the earthquake, Premier Wen Jiabao said, “A new Wenchuan will rise from the ruins（废墟）.” Now his words have come true. Four years has passed and the worst-hit areas in Sichuan have risen from the ruins.
So far, 95% of the reconstruction projects（重建项目）have been completed. Nearly 3,000 schools, 1,000 hospitals and more than 5 million homes have been built. Now everyone has been provided（提供） with a home, a job and social security.
Dong Xinjun, a villager in Qingchuan, said volunteers from Zhejiang taught him how to grow mushrooms and now he makes about 3,000 yuan more than before every year.
Zhu Lihu, the headmaster of a village primary school in Qingchuan, told us that teaching equipment had been greatly improved. Now they have new classrooms, a library and a computer room with 20 computers.
On May 8th, 2011, Premier Wen Jiabao made his 10th visit to Sichuan Province after the earthquake. He visited a lot of middle schools and neighborhoods. At Beichuan Middle School, Premier Wen embraced a student named Zheng Haiyang, who lost both of his legs in the earthquake. The students told Premier Wen that their new school was very beautiful. And they would never forget that it was built with the hearts and strength of people across the whole country.
Premier Wen believes that the people in Wenchuan have a “strong will” and a “bright future”. They will never back down, but stand bravely on this land.

27、、【2012北京市怀柔区模拟】D
Recognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert runs across North Africa. Except for an occasional oasis（绿洲）, this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to nearly 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.
Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities（社团，社区） where a large number of people lived.
Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. For centuries people there have wandered(徘徊) from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing（吃草）land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. The large herds（群）have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing over grazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nighttime temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.
Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants that will once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert surface. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in which they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks.
Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert is dotted(点缀) with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones which could provide protection from the sun. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.
56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The desert is rich in beautiful color and scenery.
B. Allowing over grazing is the only reason to make the land became a d
