Zheng He (1371-1435), or Cheng Ho, is arguably（可论证地） China’s most famous navigator. Starting from the beginning of the 15th Century, he traveled to the West seven times. In 28 years, he traveled more than 50,000km and visited over 30 countries, including Singapore. Zheng He died in the tenth year of the reign（统治） of the Ming emperor Xuande (1435) and was buried in the southern suburbs of Bull’s Head Hill (Niushou) in Nanjing.
In 1985, during the 580th anniversary（周年纪念） of Zheng He’s voyage, his tomb（坟墓） was rebuilt. The new tomb was built on the site of the original tomb in Nanjing and reconstructed according to the customs of Islamic teachings, as Zheng He was a Muslim.
At the entrance to the tomb is a Ming-style building, which was a memorial hall. Inside are paintings of the man himself and his navigation maps. To get to the tomb, there are newly laid stone platforms and steps. The stairway consists of 28 stone steps that are divided into four sections with each section having seven steps. This represents Zheng He’s seven journeys to the West. The Arabic words which mean “Allah (God) is great” are written on top of the tomb.
Zheng He built many wooden ships, some of which are the largest in history, in Nanjing. Three of the shipyards still exist today.
56. Zheng He’s tomb was rebuilt ________.
A. because he was a Muslim
B. following the Islamic customs
C. to celebrate Zheng’s 580th birthday
D. beside the original one
57. You can see _____ at Zheng He’s tomb.
A. a Ming-style hall in the tomb
B. ZhengHe’s portraits and his maps for his voyage
C. Arabic-style buildings and materials
D. four flights of 28 stone steps

D. about ZhengHe, his voyages and his tomb

Today’s generation of young people is the largest in human history. Nearly half the world’s population — more than 3 billion people — are under the age of 25. More than half the world’s young people — about 850 million between the ages of 10 and 24 — live in Asia and the Pacific region.
This rapidly expanding youth population is increasingly vulnerable（易得病的） to HIV. Young people are at the center of the HIV/AIDS epidemic（流行病）. Of the 10 million young people living with HIV worldwide, 21% live in Asia and the Pacific region. When surveying of all new HIV/AIDS cases globally, nearly a quarter of all people living with HIV/AIDS are under the age of 25. An estimated 6,000 young people are infected（传染） every day — one every 14 minutes. The majority are women and girls. In South Asia, where over 1 million young people between the ages of 15 to 24 are infected with HIV, more than half (62%) are young women.
Young people are key to defeating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Yet in most countries, they lack the information, education and services that will enable them to make informed and healthy choices about their health, and the needs of youths are often ignored. UNESCO, in collaboration with other UN agencies, governments, NGOs and community-based organizations, makes efforts to ensure the health needs of youths, including HIV prevention education, programs and policies implemented throughout Asia and the Pacific region.
59. How many young people with HIV live in Asia and the Pacific area?
A. 3 billion B. 850 million C. 100 million D. 2.1 million
60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. It’s young people themselves that can defeat HIV.
B. Most cases infected with HIV are young people.
C. Most young people who are infected with HIV are women.
D. Half of the world population is infected with HIV.
61. From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A. more and more young people will be infected with HIV
B. it’s because of not being informed that young people are easy to be infected
C. people in Asia and the Pacific region are easy to be infected
D. there is no policy for teenagers’ prevention of HIV

The middle school Foreign Language Program begins with a program at 5th level. All students take twelve weeks each of French, German and Spanish. Students continue with the language of their choice at 6th, 7th and 8th levels to complete the two semesters of high school work.
Foreign Language classes are 23 minutes long and meet four times per week. The classes actively involve the students in listening exercises, vocabulary building, reading, writing, grammar and the development of oral proficiency（熟练） in specific topic of conversation.
The program is also designed to give students cultural insight into the beliefs and behaviors of the people and cultures represented by each language. Art, history, music, dance, food and the customs of each society are examined through filmstrips（幻灯片）, games, cultural event projects and activities. The high school student exchange programs are involved with the middle school to allow personal contact with students from other countries where the languages are spoken.
Each year the advancements in technology help to bring the students even closer to the people of the world they are studying. Computer programs are used to practise and increase vocabulary and various language skills. The resource programs provide facts and figures instantly to supplement their knowledge of history and geography. The Internet offers opportunities to tap information on a number of topics in English and in other foreign languages. The faculty（教职工）makes every effort to be aware of new technology and to make it accessible to the students whenever possible.

书面表达(One possible version)
A big earthquake happened in my hometown on September 21, 1995. At that time I was having my morning lesson when suddenly there was a big shake. I didn’t realize it was an earthquake at first for I had never been in an earthquake. For a minute or two, I saw all my classmates crowding towards the door. I could hear loud cries full of fear. “Earthquake! Earthquake!” People were crying and running. I didn’t know what I was thinking then but I was full of great fear.
About half an hour later, all the students were out of the building, not daring to go back. Some students jumped off from the second floor and got hurt. Some window glass was broken.
It was a frightening earthquake, but fortunately there was no big damage.

三. 重难点解释：

【课文原句】
Many famous geographers have attempted to define the discipline in a few short words. (Page 67)
attempt为及物动词，意为“试图；企图；尝试”，后常接名词、代词或动词不定式。例如：
I didn’t attempt the last question in the exam.
She attempted to get in touch with her partner.
【拓展】
attempt还可以作名词，意为“企图；试图；尝试”。常与动词make搭配使用，make an attempt to do sth. / at sth. / at doing sth. 例如：
He failed in his attempt to finish his homework on time.

若attempt后接介词on，即attempt on sb. / sb’s life，意为“杀人企图”。例如：

2. anxious
【课文原句】
This, of course, made the sailors and storekeepers, who were part pirate, very anxious to go to Cathay and get some of the gold and jewels and spices for themselves. (Page 76)
anxious为形容词，意为“担忧的，焦虑的；渴望的”。be anxious for / about sth. / sb.意为“为……担心 / 担忧”；be anxious for sth.还意为“渴望得到某物”；be anxious to do sth.意为“渴望做某事”。例如：
He is anxious about the coming exam.
The mother seemed anxious for her son.

You need have no anxiety about the matter.
The government realized the people’s anxiety to end the war.
anxiously为副词，意为“焦急地”。例如：
He was waiting for the news anxiously.
3. disappointed
【课文原句】
Columbus died in 1506, a lonely and disappointed man. (Page 76)

He was very disappointed with / at the result of the experiment.
I was disappointed to hear the news that our football team was beaten again.
He was disappointed that he didn’t finish his work on time.
【拓展】
disappointed与disappointing的区别。disappointed意为“失望的；感到失望的”，用来表达人本身的感觉；disappointing也是形容词，意为“令人失望的”，用来表达某个客体给人的感觉。试比较下列例句：
He announced the result in a disappointed voice.
He announced the result in a disappointing voice.

Zheng He (1371-1435), or Cheng Ho, is arguably（可论证地） China’s most famous navigator. Starting from the beginning of the 15th Century, he traveled to the West seven times. In 28 years, he traveled more than 50,000km and visited over 30 countries, including Singapore. Zheng He died in the tenth year of the reign（统治） of the Ming emperor Xuande (1435) and was buried in the southern suburbs of Bull’s Head Hill (Niushou) in Nanjing.
In 1985, during the 580th anniversary（周年纪念） of Zheng He’s voyage, his tomb（坟墓） was rebuilt. The new tomb was built on the site of the original tomb in Nanjing and reconstructed according to the customs of Islamic teachings, as Zheng He was a Muslim.
At the entrance to the tomb is a Ming-style building, which was a memorial hall. Inside are paintings of the man himself and his navigation maps. To get to the tomb, there are newly laid stone platforms and steps. The stairway consists of 28 stone steps that are divided into four sections with each section having seven steps. This represents Zheng He’s seven journeys to the West. The Arabic words which mean “Allah (God) is great” are written on top of the tomb.
Zheng He built many wooden ships, some of which are the largest in history, in Nanjing. Three of the shipyards still exist today.

Today’s generation of young people is the largest in human history. Nearly half the world’s population — more than 3 billion people — are under the age of 25. More than half the world’s young people — about 850 million between the ages of 10 and 24 — live in Asia and the Pacific region.
This rapidly expanding youth population is increasingly vulnerable（易得病的） to HIV. Young people are at the center of the HIV/AIDS epidemic（流行病）. Of the 10 million young people living with HIV worldwide, 21% live in Asia and the Pacific region. When surveying of all new HIV/AIDS cases globally, nearly a quarter of all people living with HIV/AIDS are under the age of 25. An estimated 6,000 young people are infected（传染） every day — one every 14 minutes. The majority are women and girls. In South Asia, where over 1 million young people between the ages of 15 to 24 are infected with HIV, more than half (62%) are young women.
Young people are key to defeating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Yet in most countries, they lack the information, education and services that will enable them to make informed and healthy choices about their health, and the needs of youths are often ignored. UNESCO, in collaboration with other UN agencies, governments, NGOs and community-based organizations, makes efforts to ensure the health needs of youths, including HIV prevention education, programs and policies implemented throughout Asia and the Pacific region.
59. How many young people with HIV live in Asia and the Pacific area?

61. From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A. more and more young people will be infected with HIV
B. it’s because of not being informed that young people are easy to be infected
C. people in Asia and the Pacific region are easy to be infected
D. there is no policy for teenagers’ prevention of HIV

书面表达(One possible version)
A big earthquake happened in my hometown on September 21, 1995. At that time I was having my morning lesson when suddenly there was a big shake. I didn’t realize it was an earthquake at first for I had never been in an earthquake. For a minute or two, I saw all my classmates crowding towards the door. I could hear loud cries full of fear. “Earthquake! Earthquake!” People were crying and running. I didn’t know what I was thinking then but I was full of great fear.
About half an hour later, all the students were out of the building, not daring to go back. Some students jumped off from the second floor and got hurt. Some window glass was broken.
It was a frightening earthquake, but fortunately there was no big damage.
