Easter is one of the two major Christian (基督教的) festivals. Easter celebrates (庆祝) the death (死亡) and resurrection (复活) of Jesus Christ (耶酥基督) and Christmas celebrates his birth (出生). It's not as big a festival as Christmas. It starts usually in late March or early April and the Easter holiday is Friday，Saturday，Sunday and Monday. It's quite a long holiday for everybody.
The main symbol (象征物) of Easter is the Easter egg. Children like Easter eggs because they are made of chocolate. Eggs are a symbol of new life.
Easter is also a time for families to get together like Christmas. Many people see Easter as a nice long holiday and they have a good time with their families and friends.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world？The sun was probably the world's first “clock"，except in the far north，where the Eskimos（因纽特人）live. There，it's dark most of the winter，and light most of the summer. But in most of the world，people have used the sun for a clock. Even today，if you don't have a clock，you still know that when the sun shines，it's day，and when it's dark，it's night. The sun can also tell you if it's morning，noon or afternoon.
People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime，for about six hours，the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.
Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over，the sand will take another hour to go back again.
4.According to（根据）the passage，there are ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.
A.3 B.4 C.5 D.7
5.The Eskimos in the far north can't use the sun for a clock because
A.they know very little about the sun
B.the sun there never goes down in winter
C.it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
D.it has long dark winters and long light summers
6.The underlined word “tides” in the passage means .
A.洋流 B.潮汐 C.海啸 D.波浪
7.What's the best title for the passage？
A.Different Ways to Tell Time B.Useful Machines to Tell Time
C.The History of the Clock D.The Development of the Clock
C
My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
"Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."

六 阅读短文，根据其内容简略回答问题。（10分）
Chris is not a traditional explorer（探险者） ——he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.
At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staff (医务人员) taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they will face difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical（热带的）diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.
But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF According to Chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your career. Just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.
1. When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people
2. How many medical staff are taking part in MSF projects and tasks
3. Why is an MSF doctor’s job dangerous
4. What kind of doctors is greatly needed in Africa
5. According to Chris, what is a great help in his career
