Rachel Louise Carson was born on May 27th, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She grew up on a farm where she learnt about nature and animals. Rachel loved reading and writing stories when she was young. She even had a story published when she was only ten years old. One of Rachel’s favourite subjects was oceanology.
Rachel attended college at the Pennsylvania College for Women where she majored in biology. She later got her master’s degree in zoology from Johns Hopkins University. After graduation, Rachel taught for a while and then got a job at the US Fish and Wildlife Service. At first, she wrote for a weekly radio programme that educated people on marine biology. Later, she became a marine biologist and chief editor of publications for the Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition to her work at the Fish and Wildlife Service, Rachel wrote articles for magazines about the ocean. In 1941 , she published her first book called Under the Sea Wind. However, her second book, The Sea Around Us, made her famous. The Sea Around Us was published in 1951 and was on the New York Times bestseller list for 39 weeks. With the success of the book, Rachel quit her job at the Fish and Wildlife Service and concentrated on writing full-time.
After World War Ⅱ, fanners began to use pesticides(农药) such as DDT on their crops. Rachel was concerned about the effects that large-scale spraying of DDT may have on the health of people as well as the environment. Rachel began to gather research material on pesticides and write a book about the subject.
Rachel spent four years gathering research material and writing the book. She named it Silent Spring referring to birds' death due to pesticides and the spring being silent without their songs. Published in 1962,the book became very popular and brought the environmental issues of pesticides to the general public.
On April 14th, 1964, she died of breast cancer in her home in Maryland.

Boston has a lot of cool fountains that can be great fun for families to visit in summer.
Copley Square Fountain
This old fountain rests in the shadow of the Hancock Tower and across the street from Boston Public Library. It is not unusual to see a great number of people dipping their feet into the running water, and young kids can even go knee-high in the fountain.
Sculpture Fountain in Norman D
This is a popular fountain in the city, as it appeals to a wide variety of kids. Children can run around the outer bench ring and not get wet, dip their fingers or toes into the water coming out of the ground, or dash right through the main bronze-and-glass fountain and get totally wet.
Rose Kennedy Greenway Fountains
There are four fountains suitable for young children on the Greenway, all within walking distance of each other:
Canal Fountains near the North End
The gentle running water of these close-to-the-ground fountains welcome younger kids, who can spend hours there running back and forth across the spouts.
Labyrinth Fountain at Armenian Heritage Park
Kids and adults can walk along the winding(蜿蜒的) stones of this interesting park, which features a small fountain bubbling at the center.
Rings Fountain near the Aquarium
This fountain quickly became a landmark in downtown Boston when it opened, as it’s easy to see from a distance thanks to the jets(喷射流)of water that shoot up high from it. For that reason,only brave preschoolers(学前儿童) go into the fountain,although it's nice just to look at it from a safe distance, too.
Chinatown Stream near Essex Street
The stream isn’t really a fountain, but it certainly invites kids to walk into the water. Its bottom is a bit rocky,so make sure young ones are comfortable when walking around in it.
1.What do we learn about the Copley Square Fountain
A.It’s a newly-built fountain.
B.Its water is too deep for kids.
C.It's very popular with people.

A.Get wet around the outer bench ring.
B.Run through the fountain for fun.
C.Look at the Hancock Tower.
D.Swim in the fountain.

D.Labyrinth Fountain at Armenian Heritage Park.

With the appearance of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.
The main killers in North America, the diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become a way of death in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health-destroying food chains.
Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork,beef, including sugar,white flour, white noodles and even white rice,undermines one’s health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries (动脉), blocking the blood supply to various organs. This causes diseases in almost every organ,but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones,the heart and brain.
Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.
How the Chinese could patronise(光顾) these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectable(美味的) food,not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension. Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However,Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organise themselves as the Western chains do.
These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words, only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way,shape or form.
Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.
1.A diet high in animal foods is unhealthy, because especially it will damage ________.
A.the heart and brain
B.the walls of arteries
C.all organs
D.the nerves
2.The Chinese's preferring fast food to Chinese delectable food makes the writer feel _________.
A.pleased
B.puzzled
C.calm
D.funny
3.What we should learn from the Western fast food chains is _________.
A.the content of the food
B.the attractive menus
C.the management and decoration
D.the form of the food
4.What is the writer's opinion in the passage
A.Chinese shouldn't learn from Western fast food.
B.Chinese should say no to Western fast food.
C.Western fast food is better than Chinese food.
D.Chinese food is better for our health.
D
When I’m in Italy, I generally only eat Italian food. I doubt there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.
To eat well in Italy,finding the right restaurant is key. I appreciate personality-driven restaurants,run by people keen(热衷的) to share their love of good cooking,and places serving family recipes. Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location,lots of locals, and a small, handwritten menu in one language. The menu is small because they’re only selling everything they’re cooking; it’s handwritten because it’s shaped by what is fresh today in the market; and it s in one language because they mostly serve locals.
For a fast and cheap lunch, I look for Italian food in corner delis(熟食店): either a rosticceria, specializing in roasted meats and antipasti(开胃食物), or a hot table bar —a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables. Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts, cheeses, and other foods for a picnic.
Italians tend to spend a long time on each course,and dinner is the evening’s entertainment. For example, when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant, you don't get out until midnight; a three-hour meal is common. Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving. When you want the bill, you’ll have to ask for it. To “eat and run” is seen as a lost opportunity.
A couple of years ago, I sat down at my favorite place in Verona, Enoteca Can Grande,with my friend and guide Franklin. We let the chef,Giuliano,bring us whatever he wanted. Just after the antipasti arrived, Franklin’s wife phoned him and said,“Don’t eat too much cheese or dessert.” Later Franklin, who was not thin, surveyed our table. Sighing, he said,“The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few.”
"That’s a pity,” I said.
I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours. Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.
1.What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1
A.He doesn’t have many food choices in Italy.
B.Italian food is the best all over Europe.
C.He has a great tooth for Italian food.
D.He doesn’t like trying foreign food.
2.Where does the author like eating while in Italy
A.At a restaurant at a high-rent location.
B.At a restaurant that locals visit frequently.
C.At a place where waiters don't just speak Italian.
D.At a place which provides various food choices.
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Ways to eat simply and cheaply in Italy.
B.Ways to prepare simple food in Italy.
C.Places to have a picnic in Italy.
D.Nice places to eat in Italy.
4.What do we learn about Italians at dinner in a restaurant
A.They like ordering lots of drinks.
B.They don't consider it fun.
C.They usually spend much time on dinner.
D.They don't like ordering much food.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.
Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. "Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears— and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. "I'll begin to cast everyone tomorrow," she said. "I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody want to try " A few excited hands shot up—mine, of course, was not one of them—and Mrs Sather smiled. "We'll talk more about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
Paragraph 1 :
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs Sather asked me to go to her.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Hearing Mrs Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear David,
I'm glad that you're interested in the fantastic live webcast of our Chinese Poetry Contest held from 7 pm to 9 pm on July 10th.

The contestants, all of whom were winners of class poetry contests, were required to recite as many ancient Chinese poems related to a given subject as possible.

Rachel Louise Carson was born on May 27th, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She grew up on a farm where she learnt about nature and animals. Rachel loved reading and writing stories when she was young. She even had a story published when she was only ten years old. One of Rachel’s favourite subjects was oceanology.
Rachel attended college at the Pennsylvania College for Women where she majored in biology. She later got her master’s degree in zoology from Johns Hopkins University. After graduation, Rachel taught for a while and then got a job at the US Fish and Wildlife Service. At first, she wrote for a weekly radio programme that educated people on marine biology. Later, she became a marine biologist and chief editor of publications for the Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition to her work at the Fish and Wildlife Service, Rachel wrote articles for magazines about the ocean. In 1941 , she published her first book called Under the Sea Wind. However, her second book, The Sea Around Us, made her famous. The Sea Around Us was published in 1951 and was on the New York Times bestseller list for 39 weeks. With the success of the book, Rachel quit her job at the Fish and Wildlife Service and concentrated on writing full-time.
After World War Ⅱ, fanners began to use pesticides(农药) such as DDT on their crops. Rachel was concerned about the effects that large-scale spraying of DDT may have on the health of people as well as the environment. Rachel began to gather research material on pesticides and write a book about the subject.
Rachel spent four years gathering research material and writing the book. She named it Silent Spring referring to birds' death due to pesticides and the spring being silent without their songs.

Boston has a lot of cool fountains that can be great fun for families to visit in summer.
Copley Square Fountain
This old fountain rests in the shadow of the Hancock Tower and across the street from Boston Public Library. It is not unusual to see a great number of people dipping their feet into the running water, and young kids can even go knee-high in the fountain.
Sculpture Fountain in Norman D
This is a popular fountain in the city, as it appeals to a wide variety of kids. Children can run around the outer bench ring and not get wet, dip their fingers or toes into the water coming out of the ground, or dash right through the main bronze-and-glass fountain and get totally wet.
Rose Kennedy Greenway Fountains
There are four fountains suitable for young children on the Greenway, all within walking distance of each other:
Canal Fountains near the North End
The gentle running water of these close-to-the-ground fountains welcome younger kids, who can spend hours there running back and forth across the spouts.
Labyrinth Fountain at Armenian Heritage Park
Kids and adults can walk along the winding(蜿蜒的) stones of this interesting park, which features a small fountain bubbling at the center.
Rings Fountain near the Aquarium
This fountain quickly became a landmark in downtown Boston when it opened, as it’s easy to see from a distance thanks to the jets(喷射流)of water that shoot up high from it. For that reason,only brave preschoolers(学前儿童) go into the fountain,although it's nice just to look at it from a safe distance, too.
Chinatown Stream near Essex Street
The stream isn’t really a fountain, but it certainly invites kids to walk into the water. Its bottom is a bit rocky,so make sure young ones are comfortable when walking around in it.

With the appearance of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.
The main killers in North America, the diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become a way of death in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health-destroying food chains.
Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork,beef, including sugar,white flour, white noodles and even white rice,undermines one’s health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries (动脉), blocking the blood supply to various organs. This causes diseases in almost every organ,but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones,the heart and brain.
Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.
How the Chinese could patronise(光顾) these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectable(美味的) food,not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension. Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However,Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organise themselves as the Western chains do.
These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words, only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way,shape or form.
Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.
1.A diet high in animal foods is unhealthy, because especially it will damage ________.
A.the heart and brain
B.the walls of arteries
C.all organs
D.the nerves
2.The Chinese's preferring fast food to Chinese delectable food makes the writer feel _________.
A.pleased
B.puzzled
C.calm
D.funny
3.What we should learn from the Western fast food chains is _________.
A.the content of the food
B.the attractive menus
C.the management and decoration
D.the form of the food
4.What is the writer's opinion in the passage
A.Chinese shouldn't learn from Western fast food.
B.Chinese should say no to Western fast food.
C.Western fast food is better than Chinese food.
D.Chinese food is better for our health.

When I’m in Italy, I generally only eat Italian food. I doubt there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.
To eat well in Italy,finding the right restaurant is key. I appreciate personality-driven restaurants,run by people keen(热衷的) to share their love of good cooking,and places serving family recipes. Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location,lots of locals, and a small, handwritten menu in one language. The menu is small because they’re only selling everything they’re cooking; it’s handwritten because it’s shaped by what is fresh today in the market; and it s in one language because they mostly serve locals.
For a fast and cheap lunch, I look for Italian food in corner delis(熟食店): either a rosticceria, specializing in roasted meats and antipasti(开胃食物), or a hot table bar —a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables. Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts, cheeses, and other foods for a picnic.
Italians tend to spend a long time on each course,and dinner is the evening’s entertainment. For example, when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant, you don't get out until midnight; a three-hour meal is common. Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving. When you want the bill, you’ll have to ask for it. To “eat and run” is seen as a lost opportunity.
A couple of years ago, I sat down at my favorite place in Verona, Enoteca Can Grande,with my friend and guide Franklin. We let the chef,Giuliano,bring us whatever he wanted. Just after the antipasti arrived, Franklin’s wife phoned him and said,“Don’t eat too much cheese or dessert.” Later Franklin, who was not thin, surveyed our table. Sighing, he said,“The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few.”
"That’s a pity,” I said.
I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours. Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.
1.What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1
A.He doesn’t have many food choices in Italy.
B.Italian food is the best all over Europe.
C.He has a great tooth for Italian food.
D.He doesn’t like trying foreign food.
2.Where does the author like eating while in Italy
A.At a restaurant at a high-rent location.
B.At a restaurant that locals visit frequently.
C.At a place where waiters don't just speak Italian.
D.At a place which provides various food choices.
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Ways to eat simply and cheaply in Italy.
B.Ways to prepare simple food in Italy.
C.Places to have a picnic in Italy.
D.Nice places to eat in Italy.
4.What do we learn about Italians at dinner in a restaurant
A.They like ordering lots of drinks.
B.They don't consider it fun.
C.They usually spend much time on dinner.
D.They don't like ordering much food.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.
Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. "Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears— and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. "I'll begin to cast everyone tomorrow," she said. "I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody want to try " A few excited hands shot up—mine, of course, was not one of them—and Mrs Sather smiled. "We'll talk more about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
Paragraph 1 :
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs Sather asked me to go to her.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Hearing Mrs Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs Sather asked me to go to her. Mrs Sather stared into my eyes as if seeing my inner self locked away inside. "I would love you to give this a try for me. But if you really don't want to, I won't make you do it. It is your choice. "Mrs Sather wanted me in this role. She shocked me, for I was always a shy person, not even dare to speak loud in public.
Paragraph 2:
Hearing Mrs Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change. I decided to throw off my shy cloak. I wanted to prove that I also could do something good in public. After seconds of hesitation, I nodded my head, confidently saying, "Mrs Sather, I want to, no, I am determined to play the role. And I will try my best to perform it well." Looking at me with a big smile on her face, Mrs Sather said, "I believe in you. If you meet some problem, you can turn to me." "Thank you!" I left her office happily.
