A
Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolish experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?
Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn’t settle for(满足于)just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.
Scientists sometimes stop to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.
1. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin .
A. was a great English scientist
B. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult
C. thought even the simplest thing was important
D. didn’t get well with others
2. The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means .
A. throw away B. store up
C. put to use D. realize
3. The author of the passage tries to .
A. convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world
B. draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things
C. prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed
D. draw our attention to everyday happenings around us
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Darwin really did foolish experiments.
B. According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.
C. It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.
D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻)or neglect.
Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪恶的)stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the fairy tale Cinderella as its jumping off point, ”writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “The focus is firmly on following your dream. ”
5. The first paragraph is mainly to .
A. build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream

B. is attended to badly by the stepmother
C. has a dream of meeting a prince
D. is embarrassed by the pop singer
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.
B. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.
C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
8. The passage is mainly .
A. an introduction to a film
B. a review about a film
C. an essay about dreams
D. an advertisement of Cinderella
9. According to the passage, Another Cinderella Story .
A. follows Cinderella with nothing new
B. pays more attention to the looks of the actors

At the time, I would go out in the evening with my parents. But this time I had borrowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didn’t know why, but once I was on my own bicycle, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the handbars. I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as fast as I could. . .
Oh! My hands! Don’t come any closer. . . Don’t touch me! That poor doctor just couldn’t get my gloves off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shouting. Much later, I discovered that I had crashed(碰撞)heavily with another bicycle, and I hadn’t spoken one word of sense for at least three hours! After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face as white as a sheet, and gave me a hug(拥抱), only then did the doctor begin to stitch(缝合)my head wound, not only did he merrily cut off a long lock of my hair, but used no anaesthetic(麻药)either! Later, I seemed to hear faraway voices saying that my right hand was broken. I almost burst into tears. How would I ever play the piano again?

You may be fascinated with pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are rarely seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or hurt you.
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals. A wild animal may bite to protect itself. You must be sensitive while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
If you are going to a place where it is privately(私人)owned, you’d better get the owner’s permission first before you start taking pictures.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised.
Be very patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods. Be familiar with the animals’ natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is nocturnal(夜间活动的), then you should prepare to battle not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well equipped, have experts to back you up, and also a permit for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.
5. The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is .
A. to call for us to protect animals
B. to show where to buy pictures of animals
C. to explain how to get along with wild animals
D. to give us tips on taking pictures of animals in the wild
6. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Respecting the animals.
B. Making gentle movements.
C. Making the animals happy.
D. Changing the flash of your camera to natural light.
7. If the animals are on a farm owned by a person, we should .
A. ask the owner to take pictures for us
B. ask for the owner’s permission first
C. make sure the owner is present when we take pictures
D. take pictures when the owner is feeding animals
8. We can infer from the passage that .
A. most animals love being taken pictures of
B. we have to finish the pictures before sunset
C. we’d better take pictures when the animals are sleeping
D. we should pay attention to the animals’ moods when taking pictures
9. What preparation should you do before going to take pictures of wild animals?
①Preparing some food to feed the animals.
②Asking experts for advice.
③Knowing the weather in the animals’ habitat.
④Getting a permission for taking pictures of wild animals.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①②③ D. ①③④

D. Do you want me to find one for you?
E. Oh, what a pity!
F. Yes, speaking.
G. OK, I’ll ring you if I have any news.
Ⅱ. 阅读第二节
根据短文内容, 从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括出每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。
A. Limit the number of new names you learn at a time.
B. Arriving early helps to remember more names.
C. Use imagination to know others’ names.
D. Acknowledge(承认)you don’t know others’ names.
E. Read one’s name to yourself over and over again.
F. Remember the names with someone’s help.
Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
1.
When you hear a person’s name and want to remember it, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also say the name again in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
2.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
3.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again? ”
4.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
5.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. There are fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.
