The book, written about a 17- year- old teenager, experienced popularity and earned the love of readers all around the world. Surprisingly, the author forbade any adaptation s of the book into movies or theatrical performances.

Unlike her sister, Charlotte, poet Emily Bront only wrote one novel. It was published in 1847 and stayed almost unnoticed during the author's life. The novel got universal recognition in the late 19th century and took a strong place in English literature. The novel has been screened many times in the 20th century.

After the publication of the novel, a huge popular anger erupted in society. People called it immoral and tried to ban it. But the book turned out to be the most successful novel of the playwright Oscar Wilde.
Winnie-the-Pooh
Alan Milne was quite a famous playwright before releasing the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh. But the success of the book became so big that all of his other works went far into the shadows.

It is a bright cold day in April and Paul Blachut is busy as usual. From behind the bar of a restaurant, he has a good view of the river. He can see that, along the shore, many visitors are cooling their feet in the river.
Among those are a mother and her two teenage daughters. They’re standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable (充气的) tube when, suddenly, the girls lose their footing and are caught in the river’s current. It all happens so fast. The girls desperately grab on to the tube, which their mother is sitting in, dragging her into the river, too. Now all three are being carried away by the fast current.
A bystander races to the restaurant and shouted for help. Despite having no lifesaving training, Blachut rushes to the riverbank, quickly pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumps into the river. He doesn’t care about the cold; all he can think about is saving the women.
As Blachut gets closer to them, he can tell that the mother seems to be in the most trouble; her head is now submerged. He recalls how a lifeguard saves people in a movie so he tries this, but in vain. Without hesitation, Blachut dives under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and using that momentum (冲力) to push her toward the shore. Then he dives into the current again, swims quickly downstream and manages to get hold of one of the teenagers, and get her out in the same way he did her mother. He is out of strength and luckily, the girl’s sister is helped out by someone else.
Several onlookers express their admiration for Blachut following the incident, but he is modest about his role. “The whole rescue only took two or three minutes” he says today, adding that he is happy to have received high praise from his boss for his courage. Indeed, it was a job very well done.
4. What might Blachut be
A. A visitor. B. A waiter. C. The boss. D. A lifeguard.
5. What happens to the mother of two teenagers
A. She loses her footing while playing. B. She is dragged into the river by accident.
C. She jumps into the river to save her daughters. D. She loses control of the tube and flows with it.
6. What is the key factor in this successful rescue
A. Blachut’s rich lifesaving experience. B. The method Blachut recalls in a movie.
C. The slow speed of the river current. D. Blachut’s ability to make quick decisions.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Health. B. Travel. C. Inspiration. D. Entertainment.
C
In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christian-sen became puzzled about something that, strangely, had not troubled anyone before he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that is what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christian-sen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which were created when erupting magma(岩浆)piled up. These can form remarkably quickly. One day in 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile-across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera(火山口).Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christian-sen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up(放大的照片)for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christian-sen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park—2.2 million acres -was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across-much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
8. What does the underlined word “its” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The ground. B. The nature.
C. The volcano. D. The park.
9. Why was there smoke rising from the Mexican farmer’s land2
A. A single big crack was forming there. B. Someone was burning stalks there.
C A volcano was erupting underneath. D. There were some hot springs there.
10. How did Bob Christian-sen discover the park’s volcano
A. By looking at the photographs. B. By analyzing its steamy features.
C. By researching historical documents. D. By using some advanced equipment.
11. What can we infer about Yellowstone
A. Its level is much higher than the surrounding areas.
B. The volcano in it involved mountain building.
C. It is a large hole left by the explosion.
D. Its shape is much like a cone.
D
US scientists have found that the spirit of giving may start a lot earlier than previously thought. This follows their amazing discovery that even hungry babies are willing to give up a tasty snack to help others, spontaneously (自发地) sharing their food with strangers in need from the age of around 19 months.
Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences carried out a study to see if infants (幼儿) would help unknown adults interacting with them by showing them a delicious-looking piece of fruit. And they also went further. Would these very young kids be willing to give up the food to others, even at a cost to themselves
“We think altruism (利他主义) is important to study. We adults help each other when we see another in need and we do this even if there is a cost to the self. So we tested the roots of this in infants,” explains Rodolfo Cortes Barragan of the University of Washington team.
In their first experiment, which involved 48 infants that were only around 19 months old, the researchers began by showing each child a piece of child-friendly fruit. They then either threw the fruit gently onto the floor within the infants’ reach without showing any emotion, and didn’t try to get it back, or alternatively, pretended to accidentally drop the fruit onto the floor before reaching for it unsuccessfully.
The team found that the display of reaching for the fruit, which showed the adults’ desire for it, could get a helping response in the infants, with over half picking it up to give it back to the adults. But only four percent did that when the adults had been emotionless.
The second experiment was timed right before their regular snacks to ensure the children were hungry. But surprisingly, the results almost mirrored those of the first experiment!
These findings led the team to conclude that kids have a tendency to spontaneously help strangers. They believed that this isn’t an ability that’s learned. However, they did point out that early social experiences can shape altruism.
12. What does Rodolfo Cortes Barragan try to explain
A. Why infants are chosen for research. B. The definition of the spirit of giving.
C. The importance of being altruistic. D. How adults help each other.
13. What did the researchers do to the infants in the first experiment
A. They kept them in a hungry state. B. They fed them with their regular snacks.
C. They showed attractive fruit to them. D. They stopped them reaching for fruit.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Showing a strong desire for the fruit. B. Giving the fruit to emotionless adults.
C. Picking up the fruit for themselves. D. Helping the adults to get the fruit.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Altruism Proves Vital for Infants As Well B. Early Social Experiences Shape Altruism
C. People Tend to Share Food With Strangers D. Altruistic Giving May Start in Infancy

Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”

It is a bright cold day in April and Paul Blachut is busy as usual. From behind the bar of a restaurant, he has a good view of the river. He can see that, along the shore, many visitors are cooling their feet in the river.
Among those are a mother and her two teenage daughters. They’re standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable (充气的) tube when, suddenly, the girls lose their footing and are caught in the river’s current. It all happens so fast. The girls desperately grab on to the tube, which their mother is sitting in, dragging her into the river, too. Now all three are being carried away by the fast current.
A bystander races to the restaurant and shouted for help. Despite having no lifesaving training, Blachut rushes to the riverbank, quickly pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumps into the river. He doesn’t care about the cold; all he can think about is saving the women.
As Blachut gets closer to them, he can tell that the mother seems to be in the most trouble; her head is now submerged. He recalls how a lifeguard saves people in a movie so he tries this, but in vain. Without hesitation, Blachut dives under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and using that momentum (冲力) to push her toward the shore. Then he dives into the current again, swims quickly downstream and manages to get hold of one of the teenagers, and get her out in the same way he did her mother. He is out of strength and luckily, the girl’s sister is helped out by someone else.
Several onlookers express their admiration for Blachut following the incident, but he is modest about his role. “The whole rescue only took two or three minutes” he says today, adding that he is happy to have received high praise from his boss for his courage. Indeed, it was a job very well done.
4. What might Blachut be
A. A visitor. B. A waiter. C. The boss. D. A lifeguard.
5. What happens to the mother of two teenagers
A. She loses her footing while playing. B. She is dragged into the river by accident.
C. She jumps into the river to save her daughters. D. She loses control of the tube and flows with it.
6. What is the key factor in this successful rescue
A. Blachut’s rich lifesaving experience. B. The method Blachut recalls in a movie.
C. The slow speed of the river current. D. Blachut’s ability to make quick decisions.

In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christian-sen became puzzled about something that, strangely, had not troubled anyone before he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that is what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christian-sen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which were created when erupting magma(岩浆)piled up. These can form remarkably quickly. One day in 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile-across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera(火山口).Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christian-sen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up(放大的照片)for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christian-sen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park—2.2 million acres -was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across-much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
8. What does the underlined word “its” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The ground. B. The nature.
C. The volcano. D. The park.
9. Why was there smoke rising from the Mexican farmer’s land2
A. A single big crack was forming there. B. Someone was burning stalks there.
C. A volcano was erupting underneath. D. There were some hot springs there.
10. How did Bob Christian-sen discover the park’s volcano
A. By looking at the photographs. B. By analyzing its steamy features.
C. By researching historical documents. D. By using some advanced equipment.
11. What can we infer about Yellowstone
A. Its level is much higher than the surrounding areas.
B. The volcano in it involved mountain building.
C. It is a large hole left by the explosion.
D. Its shape is much like a cone.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
D
US scientists have found that the spirit of giving may start a lot earlier than previously thought. This follows their amazing discovery that even hungry babies are willing to give up a tasty snack to help others, spontaneously (自发地) sharing their food with strangers in need from the age of around 19 months.
Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences carried out a study to see if infants (幼儿) would help unknown adults interacting with them by showing them a delicious-looking piece of fruit. And they also went further. Would these very young kids be willing to give up the food to others, even at a cost to themselves
“We think altruism (利他主义) is important to study. We adults help each other when we see another in need and we do this even if there is a cost to the self. So we tested the roots of this in infants,” explains Rodolfo Cortes Barragan of the University of Washington team.
In their first experiment, which involved 48 infants that were only around 19 months old, the researchers began by showing each child a piece of child-friendly fruit. They then either threw the fruit gently onto the floor within the infants’ reach without showing any emotion, and didn’t try to get it back, or alternatively, pretended to accidentally drop the fruit onto the floor before reaching for it unsuccessfully.
The team found that the display of reaching for the fruit, which showed the adults’ desire for it, could get a helping response in the infants, with over half picking it up to give it back to the adults. But only four percent did that when the adults had been emotionless.
The second experiment was timed right before their regular snacks to ensure the children were hungry. But surprisingly, the results almost mirrored those of the first experiment!
These findings led the team to conclude that kids have a tendency to spontaneously help strangers. They believed that this isn’t an ability that’s learned. However, they did point out that early social experiences can shape altruism.
12. What does Rodolfo Cortes Barragan try to explain
A. Why infants are chosen for research. B. The definition of the spirit of giving.
C. The importance of being altruistic. D. How adults help each other.
13. What did the researchers do to the infants in the first experiment
A. They kept them in a hungry state. B. They fed them with their regular snacks.
C. They showed attractive fruit to them. D. They stopped them reaching for fruit.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Showing a strong desire for the fruit. B. Giving the fruit to emotionless adults.
C Picking up the fruit for themselves. D. Helping the adults to get the fruit.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Altruism Proves Vital for Infants As Well B. Early Social Experiences Shape Altruism
C. People Tend to Share Food With Strangers D. Altruistic Giving May Start in Infancy
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D

When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock ” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” What Dad said was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety. However, that was one of our family rules, so I had to do the dishes reluctantly. The clinking of dishes were disquieting sounds from hell to me, reminding me that the clock was ticking second by second. After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I rushed into my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. Without much time left, I finished the assignment in a hurry. The next day, I handed in it nervously.
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days. My life seemed in a mess these days, arising from my loose attitude and chaotic schedule. My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project. Out of guilt, I explained to my teacher and promised this would never happen again. After this experience, I eventually comprehended the importance of time, and began to arrange for my schedule with caution. With confidence, I was firmly convinced that I could get a satisfying score in the next assignment.

Here are some works of writers who got famous by just one book.
The Catcher in the Rye
In 1940s, Salinger gained a reputation of a skillful novelist. However, the author faced real success after he released his novel The Catcher in the Rye in 1951. The book, written about a 17- year- old teenager, experienced popularity and earned the love of readers all around the world. Surprisingly, the author forbade any adaptation s of the book into movies or theatrical performances.
Wuthering Heights
Unlike her sister, Charlotte, poet Emily Bront only wrote one novel. It was published in 1847 and stayed almost unnoticed during the author's life. The novel got universal recognition in the late 19th century and took a strong place in English literature. The novel has been screened many times in the 20th century.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
It was written in just 3 weeks and released in 1890 in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine and it brought an enormous amount of reputation to the author instantly. After the publication of the novel, a huge popular anger erupted in society. People called it immoral and tried to ban it. But the book turned out to be the most successful novel of the playwright Oscar Wilde.
Winnie-the-Pooh
Alan Milne was quite a famous playwright before releasing the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh. But the success of the book became so big that all of his other works went far into the shadows. Milne didn't like that he was considered a children's writer. As sad as it might sound, his works for kids turned out to be like Frankenstein's monster: the creature that swallowed its creator.

It is a bright cold day in April and Paul Blachut is busy as usual. From behind the bar of a restaurant, he has a good view of the river. He can see that, along the shore, many visitors are cooling their feet in the river.
Among those are a mother and her two teenage daughters. They’re standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable (充气的) tube when, suddenly, the girls lose their footing and are caught in the river’s current. It all happens so fast. The girls desperately grab on to the tube, which their mother is sitting in, dragging her into the river, too. Now all three are being carried away by the fast current.
A bystander races to the restaurant and shouted for help. Despite having no lifesaving training, Blachut rushes to the riverbank, quickly pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumps into the river. He doesn’t care about the cold; all he can think about is saving the women.
As Blachut gets closer to them, he can tell that the mother seems to be in the most trouble; her head is now submerged. He recalls how a lifeguard saves people in a movie so he tries this, but in vain. Without hesitation, Blachut dives under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and using that momentum (冲力) to push her toward the shore. Then he dives into the current again, swims quickly downstream and manages to get hold of one of the teenagers, and get her out in the same way he did her mother. He is out of strength and luckily, the girl’s sister is helped out by someone else.
Several onlookers express their admiration for Blachut following the incident, but he is modest about his role. “The whole rescue only took two or three minutes” he says today, adding that he is happy to have received high praise from his boss for his courage. Indeed, it was a job very well done.
4. What might Blachut be
A. A visitor. B. A waiter. C. The boss. D. A lifeguard.
5. What happens to the mother of two teenagers
A. She loses her footing while playing. B. She is dragged into the river by accident.
C. She jumps into the river to save her daughters. D. She loses control of the tube and flows with it.
6. What is the key factor in this successful rescue
A. Blachut’s rich lifesaving experience. B. The method Blachut recalls in a movie.
C. The slow speed of the river current. D. Blachut’s ability to make quick decisions.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Health. B. Travel. C. Inspiration. D. Entertainment.
C
In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christian-sen became puzzled about something that, strangely, had not troubled anyone before he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that is what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christian-sen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which were created when erupting magma(岩浆)piled up. These can form remarkably quickly. One day in 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile-across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera(火山口).Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christian-sen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up(放大的照片)for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christian-sen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park—2.2 million acres -was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across-much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.

A. The ground. B. The nature.

9. Why was there smoke rising from the Mexican farmer’s land2
A. A single big crack was forming there. B. Someone was burning stalks there.

US scientists have found that the spirit of giving may start a lot earlier than previously thought. This follows their amazing discovery that even hungry babies are willing to give up a tasty snack to help others, spontaneously (自发地) sharing their food with strangers in need from the age of around 19 months.
Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences carried out a study to see if infants (幼儿) would help unknown adults interacting with them by showing them a delicious-looking piece of fruit. And they also went further. Would these very young kids be willing to give up the food to others, even at a cost to themselves
“We think altruism (利他主义) is important to study. We adults help each other when we see another in need and we do this even if there is a cost to the self. So we tested the roots of this in infants,” explains Rodolfo Cortes Barragan of the University of Washington team.
In their first experiment, which involved 48 infants that were only around 19 months old, the researchers began by showing each child a piece of child-friendly fruit. They then either threw the fruit gently onto the floor within the infants’ reach without showing any emotion, and didn’t try to get it back, or alternatively, pretended to accidentally drop the fruit onto the floor before reaching for it unsuccessfully.
The team found that the display of reaching for the fruit, which showed the adults’ desire for it, could get a helping response in the infants, with over half picking it up to give it back to the adults. But only four percent did that when the adults had been emotionless.
The second experiment was timed right before their regular snacks to ensure the children were hungry. But surprisingly, the results almost mirrored those of the first experiment!
These findings led the team to conclude that kids have a tendency to spontaneously help strangers. They believed that this isn’t an ability that’s learned. However, they did point out that early social experiences can shape altruism.
12. What does Rodolfo Cortes Barragan try to explain
A. Why infants are chosen for research. B. The definition of the spirit of giving.
C. The importance of being altruistic. D. How adults help each other.
13. What did the researchers do to the infants in the first experiment
A. They kept them in a hungry state. B. They fed them with their regular snacks.
C. They showed attractive fruit to them. D. They stopped them reaching for fruit.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Showing a strong desire for the fruit. B. Giving the fruit to emotionless adults.
C. Picking up the fruit for themselves. D. Helping the adults to get the fruit.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Altruism Proves Vital for Infants As Well B. Early Social Experiences Shape Altruism
C. People Tend to Share Food With Strangers D. Altruistic Giving May Start in Infancy

Here are some works of writers who got famous by just one book.
The Catcher in the Rye
In 1940s, Salinger gained a reputation of a skillful novelist. However, the author faced real success after he released his novel The Catcher in the Rye in 1951. The book, written about a 17- year- old teenager, experienced popularity and earned the love of readers all around the world. Surprisingly, the author forbade any adaptation s of the book into movies or theatrical performances.
Wuthering Heights
Unlike her sister, Charlotte, poet Emily Bront only wrote one novel. It was published in 1847 and stayed almost unnoticed during the author's life. The novel got universal recognition in the late 19th century and took a strong place in English literature. The novel has been screened many times in the 20th century.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
It was written in just 3 weeks and released in 1890 in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine and it brought an enormous amount of reputation to the author instantly. After the publication of the novel, a huge popular anger erupted in society. People called it immoral and tried to ban it. But the book turned out to be the most successful novel of the playwright Oscar Wilde.
Winnie-the-Pooh
Alan Milne was quite a famous playwright before releasing the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh. But the success of the book became so big that all of his other works went far into the shadows. Milne didn't like that he was considered a children's writer. As sad as it might sound, his works for kids turned out to be like Frankenstein's monster: the creature that swallowed its creator.
1. What can we know about The Catcher in the Rye
A. It was Salinger's only one novel. B. It can't be made into movies.
C. It enjoyed popularity mainly in the US. D. It was written specially for teenagers.

It is a bright cold day in April and Paul Blachut is busy as usual. From behind the bar of a restaurant, he has a good view of the river. He can see that, along the shore, many visitors are cooling their feet in the river.
Among those are a mother and her two teenage daughters. They’re standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable (充气的) tube when, suddenly, the girls lose their footing and are caught in the river’s current. It all happens so fast. The girls desperately grab on to the tube, which their mother is sitting in, dragging her into the river, too. Now all three are being carried away by the fast current.
A bystander races to the restaurant and shouted for help. Despite having no lifesaving training, Blachut rushes to the riverbank, quickly pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumps into the river. He doesn’t care about the cold; all he can think about is saving the women.
As Blachut gets closer to them, he can tell that the mother seems to be in the most trouble; her head is now submerged. He recalls how a lifeguard saves people in a movie so he tries this, but in vain. Without hesitation, Blachut dives under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and using that momentum (冲力) to push her toward the shore. Then he dives into the current again, swims quickly downstream and manages to get hold of one of the teenagers, and get her out in the same way he did her mother. He is out of strength and luckily, the girl’s sister is helped out by someone else.
Several onlookers express their admiration for Blachut following the incident, but he is modest about his role. “The whole rescue only took two or three minutes” he says today, adding that he is happy to have received high praise from his boss for his courage. Indeed, it was a job very well done.
4. What might Blachut be
A. A visitor. B. A waiter. C. The boss. D. A lifeguard.
5. What happens to the mother of two teenagers
A. She loses her footing while playing. B. She is dragged into the river by accident.
C. She jumps into the river to save her daughters. D. She loses control of the tube and flows with it.
6. What is the key factor in this successful rescue
A. Blachut’s rich lifesaving experience. B. The method Blachut recalls in a movie.
C. The slow speed of the river current. D. Blachut’s ability to make quick decisions.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Health. B. Travel. C. Inspiration. D. Entertainment.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C

In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christian-sen became puzzled about something that, strangely, had not troubled anyone before he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that is what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christian-sen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which were created when erupting magma(岩浆)piled up. These can form remarkably quickly. One day in 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile-across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera(火山口).Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christian-sen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up(放大的照片)for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christian-sen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park—2.2 million acres -was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across-much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
8. What does the underlined word “its” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The ground. B. The nature.
C. The volcano. D. The park.
9. Why was there smoke rising from the Mexican farmer’s land2
A. A single big crack was forming there. B. Someone was burning stalks there.
C. A volcano was erupting underneath. D. There were some hot springs there.
10. How did Bob Christian-sen discover the park’s volcano
A. By looking at the photographs. B. By analyzing its steamy features.
C. By researching historical documents. D. By using some advanced equipment.
11. What can we infer about Yellowstone
A. Its level is much higher than the surrounding areas.
B. The volcano in it involved mountain building.
C. It is a large hole left by the explosion.
D. Its shape is much like a cone.

When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock ” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.”

Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” What Dad said was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety. However, that was one of our family rules, so I had to do the dishes reluctantly. The clinking of dishes were disquieting sounds from hell to me, reminding me that the clock was ticking second by second. After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I rushed into my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. Without much time left, I finished the assignment in a hurry. The next day, I handed in it nervously.
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days. My life seemed in a mess these days, arising from my loose attitude and chaotic schedule. My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project. Out of guilt, I explained to my teacher and promised this would never happen again. After this experience, I eventually comprehended the importance of time, and began to arrange for my schedule with caution. With confidence, I was firmly convinced that I could get a satisfying score in the next assignment.
