词数：266 参考用时：6分钟
Do you know why ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so many animals do not stay in one place Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”(鲑鱼). This fish is born in freshwater but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it will return to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
1. The reason for most of the animals to move is ________.
A. to get away fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om un-crowded places B. to find their own parents
C. to want to kill ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) themselves D. to find food more easily
2. Where does young salmon(鲑鱼) spend its life
A. In fresh water. B. In salt water.
C. In mountain homes. D. In its birthplace.
3. When do the lobsters(龙虾) begin to move another place
A. When their homes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) become too crowded. B. When the season of the bad weather arrives.
C. When they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) want to give birth. D. When their food is eaten up.
4. The underlined word migration in the passage means ________.
A. 迁徙 B. 习性 C. 运动 D. 寻觅
【答案详解】1-4 DBBA
1. D细节理解题。根据most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of them move to find food more easily可知，大多数迁居是想更容易地找到食物。故选D。
2. B细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life.可知，鲑鱼生活在咸水中。故选B。
3. B 推理判断题。根据 Eve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.可知，每年当坏天气的季节到来时，龙虾们就排着队开始横穿海底。故选B。
4. A词义猜测题。根据前后句子 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的意思可知，最著名的迁徙可能是一种叫鲑鱼的鱼的迁徙。它们生在淡水中，却要跋涉许多英里到咸水中生活。老了再回到淡水中生儿育女，然后死去。Migration的意思是move，迁居，迁移。故选A。

Benjamin Fran ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )klin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731.

Carnegie believ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily find ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.
Libraries are also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long asthe doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!

Jun, Korea(韩国)Posted,5 days ago Question: First tri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p to the USAFor my new job, I will travel to the United States next month and meet my American boss. This will be my first trip there. I’m worried about correct business behavior and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice
Sue,MiamiPosted,3 days ago Re: First trip to the USAIt’s a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Don’t be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA, people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea, that is not polite, but it’s common in the USA.
Sam,Los AngelesPosted,2 days ago Re: First trip to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he USAAmericans use their hands to eat some kinds of food, such as pizza and fried chicken. Watch your American hosts, and do what they do.
Kathryn,New YorkPosted,12 hours ago Re: First trip to the USAIn Korea and Japan, it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States, you usually don’t take your shoes off. Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Oops!
Lee,[KoreaPosted,2 hours ago Re: First trip to the USAMany Americans are very informal（非正式的）at home. One time I went to an American business partner’s home for dinner, I was surprised that everyone stood and talked in the kitchen while the husband and wife were cooking dinner. Besides, unlike in Korea, everyone took part in the dinner table conversation, even the man’s wife and children.
Andrew,WashingtonPosted,1 hour ago Re: First trip t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the USAI agree with Lee. You probably won’t speak about business during dinner, so my advice is to know some topics of conversation. For example, you can talk about travel, food, music, or sports. But you’d better not question about age.

话题：体育 词数：220 参考用时：5分钟
When we talked about NBA, many people will think of Yao Ming. There is no doubt that Yao Ming is a Chinese hero. On October 16, 2013, Yao Ming announced(宣布) he would open the NBA Yao School. This was really exciting news!
Looking at the name of the school, many people would think that the school is going to train NBA talents. But that is not the truth. The NBA Yao School provides after-school basketball training and health programs. Its students include boys and girls over 16 years old who are very good at playing basketball. The school aims to teach the importance of teamwork, leadership(领导素养) and communication in a fun basketball environment.
Yao is quite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )glad to be a part of the school, because it has always been his dream to positively(积极地) influence young people’s life through sports.
Now, basketball fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns in China are looking forward to getting basketball training, and the NBA Yao School is a great choice. In the school, students have chances to meet NBA stars. The stars can offer suggestions on how to play basketball well.
The school’s f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst program opened at the Wukesong Basketball Park in February, 2014. If you want to know more information about the school, you can visit www..
判断正误:正确的添T，错误的填F。
（）1. The chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren under 16 years old can’t be students in the NBA Yao School.

（）3. Yao Ming opened the NBA Yao School on October 16, 2013.
（）4. The school aims to teach the students how to play basketball.
（）5. The stude ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nts there have chances to meet NBA stars and learn something from them.
【答案详解】1-5 TFFFT
(T) 1根据 Its students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )include boys and girls over 16 years old who are very good at playing basketball.可知NBA姚明学校的学生应是在16岁以上，16岁以下是不可能进入的。故此处是正确的，故为T。
（F）2 根据 The NB ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )A Yao School provides after-school basketball training and health programs.可知这所学校 提供学校业余篮球训练和健康项目，因此本题说只提供学校业余篮球训练是与文中不符的，故为F。
（F）3根据 On Octob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er 16,2013: Yao Ming announced(宣布）he would open the NBA Yao School.可知在October 16,2013以后开办而不是在这一天。
（F）4根据 The school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aims to teach the importance of teamwork, leader ship(领导素养）and communication in a fun basketball environment可知这所学校的目的是要讲授在一个有趣的篮球环境中团队精神、领导素养和交流的重要性。不是教授如何打篮球，故此处与文中不符，故为F。
（T）5根据 In the sch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ool； students have chances meet NBA stars The stars can offer suggestions on how to play basketball well.可知在这所学校里，学生有机会见到NBA篮球明星，并且可以向他们学习如何打好篮球， 故此处与文中意思一致，故为T。

Do you know why ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so many animals do not stay in one place Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”(鲑鱼). This fish is born in freshwater but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it will return to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
1. The reason for most of the animals to move is ________.
A. to get away fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om un-crowded places B. to find their own parents
C. to want to kill ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) themselves D. to find food more easily
2. Where does young salmon(鲑鱼) spend its life
A. In fresh water. B. In salt water.
C. In mountain homes. D. In its birthplace.
3. When do the lobsters(龙虾) begin to move another place
A. When their homes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) become too crowded. B. When the season of the bad weather arrives.
C. When they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) want to give birth. D. When their food is eaten up.
4. The underlined word migration in the passage means ________.
A. 迁徙 B. 习性 C. 运动 D. 寻觅
【答案详解】1-4 DBBA
1. D细节理解题。根据most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of them move to find food more easily可知，大多数迁居是想更容易地找到食物。故选D。
2. B细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life.可知，鲑鱼生活在咸水中。故选B。
3. B 推理判断题。根据 Eve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.可知，每年当坏天气的季节到来时，龙虾们就排着队开始横穿海底。故选B。
4. A词义猜测题。根据前后句子 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的意思可知，最著名的迁徙可能是一种叫鲑鱼的鱼的迁徙。它们生在淡水中，却要跋涉许多英里到咸水中生活。老了再回到淡水中生儿育女，然后死去。Migration的意思是move，迁居，迁移。故选A。

As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long asthe doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!

Answers To All Your travel
Jun, Korea(韩国)Posted,5 days ago Question: First tri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p to the USAFor my new job, I will travel to the United States next month and meet my American boss. This will be my first trip there. I’m worried about correct business behavior and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice
Sue,MiamiPosted,3 days ago Re: First trip to the USAIt’s a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Don’t be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA, people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea, that is not polite, but it’s common in the USA.
Sam,Los AngelesPosted,2 days ago Re: First trip to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he USAAmericans use their hands to eat some kinds of food, such as pizza and fried chicken. Watch your American hosts, and do what they do.
Kathryn,New YorkPosted,12 hours ago Re: First trip to the USAIn Korea and Japan, it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States, you usually don’t take your shoes off. Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Oops!
Lee,[KoreaPosted,2 hours ago Re: First trip to the USAMany Americans are very informal（非正式的）at home. One time I went to an American business partner’s home for dinner, I was surprised that everyone stood and talked in the kitchen while the husband and wife were cooking dinner. Besides, unlike in Korea, everyone took part in the dinner table conversation, even the man’s wife and children.
Andrew,WashingtonPosted,1 hour ago Re: First trip t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the USAI agree with Lee. You probably won’t speak about business during dinner, so my advice is to know some topics of conversation. For example, you can talk about travel, food, music, or sports. But you’d better not question about age.

话题：体育 词数：220 参考用时：5分钟
When we talked about NBA, many people will think of Yao Ming. There is no doubt that Yao Ming is a Chinese hero. On October 16, 2013, Yao Ming announced(宣布) he would open the NBA Yao School. This was really exciting news!
Looking at the name of the school, many people would think that the school is going to train NBA talents. But that is not the truth. The NBA Yao School provides after-school basketball training and health programs. Its students include boys and girls over 16 years old who are very good at playing basketball. The school aims to teach the importance of teamwork, leadership(领导素养) and communication in a fun basketball environment.
Yao is quite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )glad to be a part of the school, because it has always been his dream to positively(积极地) influence young people’s life through sports.
Now, basketball fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns in China are looking forward to getting basketball training, and the NBA Yao School is a great choice. In the school, students have chances to meet NBA stars. The stars can offer suggestions on how to play basketball well.
The school’s f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst program opened at the Wukesong Basketball Park in February, 2014. If you want to know more information about the school, you can visit www..
判断正误:正确的添T，错误的填F。
（）1. The chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren under 16 years old can’t be students in the NBA Yao School.
（）2. The school pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ovides only after-school basketball training programs.
（）3. Yao Ming opened the NBA Yao School on October 16, 2013.
（）4. The school aims to teach the students how to play basketball.
（）5. The stude ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nts there have chances to meet NBA stars and learn something from them.
【答案详解】1-5 TFFFT
(T) 1根据 Its students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )include boys and girls over 16 years old who are very good at playing basketball.可知NBA姚明学校的学生应是在16岁以上，16岁以下是不可能进入的。故此处是正确的，故为T。
（F）2 根据 The NB ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )A Yao School provides after-school basketball training and health programs.可知这所学校 提供学校业余篮球训练和健康项目，因此本题说只提供学校业余篮球训练是与文中不符的，故为F。
（F）3根据 On Octob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er 16,2013: Yao Ming announced(宣布）he would open the NBA Yao School.可知在October 16,2013以后开办而不是在这一天。
（F）4根据 The school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aims to teach the importance of teamwork, leader ship(领导素养）and communication in a fun basketball environment可知这所学校的目的是要讲授在一个有趣的篮球环境中团队精神、领导素养和交流的重要性。不是教授如何打篮球，故此处与文中不符，故为F。
（T）5根据 In the sch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ool； students have chances meet NBA stars The stars can offer suggestions on how to play basketball well.可知在这所学校里，学生有机会见到NBA篮球明星，并且可以向他们学习如何打好篮球， 故此处与文中意思一致，故为T。

Thomas Edison was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.
When he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time.
