Prepare for a test
In your school, tests or quizzes(小测) may be a part of your regular classroom work. 16 If taking a test makes you feel worried, the good news is that there are many easy ways for you to prepare and feel better before an exam or quiz. Here is how to get started.
Be organized
Studying for a test will be easier if you organize your notes, handouts, and homework ahead of time for each of your classes. 17 You can use a separate folder(文件夹) for each subject. You can keep them at home at school, or in your backpack.
Make a plan
18 This might mean spending 30 minutes studying for a few afternoons the week before the test. Or maybe you have more time on the weekends and want to plan extra study time then. No matter what you decide, block out the time on your calendar so you remember.
Focus on the right material(材料)
If you have learned a lot of material, ask your teacher what information will be on the test. If your teacher hands out a study guide, use that guide to help you find out what information you need to pay attention to most. Next, decide how you want to review. the material. Besides reviewing your notes, you could write key points on flash cards to test yourself. 19 If there is something you are not clear about, highlight(标亮) that part and ask your teacher for help.
Use smart strategies(策略)
As the day of the test comes closer, be sure to get enough sleep the night before and eat a healthy breakfast on the test day. You don’t want to be distracted(分神) by feeling hungry during the test! When you sit down to take the exam, give yourself a few minutes to review the whole test. You can start by answering the first question, but you can also work on questions in a later section that you find easier to answer. For multiple-choice questions(单选题), cross off answers that you know are incorrect(不正确的). 20 The correct answer may come to you later. Finally, if you finish the test before the time ends, instead of turning your test in right away, go back and review all your answers to check for any mistakes. You can do well!
A．This way, the information will be there for you when you need to review it
B．Write the question on one side of the card and the answer on the other.
C．Many teachers use, them to make sure that students have learned correctly.
D．If you still have more than one answer left, move on to the next question.
E．Once you have a test date, ask an adult to help you look at a calendar and make a plan for when you’ll study.

The death of an orangutan（红毛大猩猩）in August broke the hearts of many people. 26 He was one of the world’s first apes（猿）to learn sign language.
In 1979, when Chantek was just 9 months old, he was taken to the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, US. Researcher Lyn Miles led an unusual experiment there. 27 The scientist then taught Chantek sign language. 28 He even came up with his own words, including “tomato toothpaste” for ketchup（番茄酱）. He was also taught other basic human skills, such as using a bathroom and cleaning his room.
Chantek stayed at the university for 8 years. He sometimes even walked to classes with students. But in 1986, Chantek escaped from his room and frightened a student. 29 He spent 11 years there living in a cage and becoming overweight and unhappy.
Chantek was moved to the Altanta Zoo in 1997. 30 But he was too shy to do it with strangers. Miles often visited Chantek at the zoo. She said that Chantek still saw himself as half human, and called the zoo’s other orangutans “orange dogs”. On August 7, Chantek died of heart disease at the age of 39.

One day, our class went on a trip to a mountain. It was not a very big mountain, so we could walk up. 31 We took lots of things, like tents, food, dishes and clothes.
32 After dinner, our teacher told us to hang (悬挂) all our food in a tree. Why If we didn’t, the bears (熊) would come for it… and we didn’t want that!
When we woke up in the morning, we got out of our tents to make breakfast. 33 “It must be a bear,” we thought. Although we were angry, we could do nothing.
We had no food for breakfast, so we went down the mountain early. And then we saw it — our bag of food was under a tree. 34 Inside the bag was a big raccoon (浣熊). The raccoon looked at us and made a sound like a cat. Then, three baby raccoons came out of the bag, and they all walked away.
35 Our teacher said, “Raccoons will steal (偷) anything. I think that’s why they wear masks (面罩) over their eyes!” We all laughed. But it was a long hungry trip home!

Hello, travelers. I went to Morocco (摩洛哥) in March with my sister and had a wonderful time. We spent a week there.
The desert trip was an interesting experience, and you can do it after your visit to Fez. 36 We rode the camels into the desert and then had dinner (one of the best dinners I had in Morocco). 37 In the morning, seeing the sunrise in the desert is a wonderful experience and then they serve you breakfast. 38 It’s so interesting!
39 We exchanged (兑换) money in the bank of this village, because our money isn’t used there. I do think that a guide is very necessary, as it’s very difficult to talk with people there unless you speak French.
40 And I wish it’s helpful for your trip there. Enjoy your holiday!
A．I really think the desert trip should be an important part of your trip.
B．We also visited a small fishing village, but I forgot its name.

It is easy to know if a person is sleeping. But how do you know if a fish is sleeping 41 Fish do not lie down either.
Although fish may not sleep like people, they do rest. One way to know if a fish is resting is to watch what it is doing. 42 Some fish move at the bottom of the water. Some move slowly near the top of the water.
You can know some fish are resting because they stay in one place. 43 For example, some sharks (keep swimming so that they can breathe in the water. Although these sharks are always swimming, they may still be resting. 44 the organ(器官)allows them to keep their body moving while they are resting.
Another way to know if a fish is resting is to watch how it reacts to(对……作出反应) things. 45 If you have a pet fish at home, try giving your fish some food when it is resting. The fish will spend more time noticing the food than it does when staying awake(醒着).
Fish may not look like they are sleeping, but they do have their own ways of getting some rest.
A．They have a special organ in their body.
B．Fish cannot close their eyes like humans.
C．When a fish is resting, its reaction will be much slower.
D．Most fish will slow down when they are resting.
E．However, other fish never seem to stop moving.

Car pool(拼车)
“Beep, beep,” goes the car horn(喇叭). You’ve got dressed, but you’ve not had time to eat breakfast. You run out of the front door with your schoolbag, and jump into the waiting car. Inside, your friends say “hey” as one of their parents drives you to school. 46
Car pools are a common way of transportation for many students in the US. You, along with many of your friends, can sit in one car. 47 And your parents may take turns to drive you all to school.
48 If you’re late, you can eat that breakfast you don’t have time for at home. If you’re behind on your homework, this is your last chance to finish it before class. Some simply add to their sleep time before classes begin. Besides walking or cycling to class, car pools are green if you can’t take the school bus. Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day, they can all squeeze(挤) into one. 49
More importantly, car pooling teaches students valuable life lessons not taught in class. It can teach students about being on time. It can also teach them the bad influence of being late. 50
A．If you’re late, then all of your friends will be late too.
B．This is the daily car pool to school.
C．Think of how much oil that can save!
D．Why is car pool so popular in the USA

My holiday is coming. Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA． 86
To fly, of course, is the fastest way, but you can’t see anything during your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds. 87 And the cost is very high.
To travel by train is relaxing, because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it. 88 But sometimes it’s crowded on the train, and it’s hard to buy train tickets during holidays.
89 though not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train. You can find buses almost in every city, big or small. 90
I take their advice. Now I decide to take a bus to the south coast(海岸) for an interesting trip.
A．That makes travel easy.
B．So it is not very interesting to you.
C．They said the best way is to go by bus and told me the reasons(原因).
D．You can also see cities and countrysides through the windows.
E．To travel by bus, my friends tell me, is easy, cheap and convenient.

Lu Xun, born in Shaoxinng County in Zhejiang Province on September 25, 1881, was one of the country’s greatest thinkers and writers in the 20th century. 91
92 Many people like reading them, such as The True Story of Ah Q, A Madman’s Diary, Kong Yiji and Medicine, which show the ugly side of human nature and emancipated (解放) people’s minds. Some people said Lu Xun’s works are like weapons (武器). Famous writer Lin Yutang called him a “warrior”. His works show the dark side of society and tradition in a special way.
93 They provided a guiding light for Chinese youths at that time.
Over the past years, thousands of people around the world have studied his works from different angles (角度), such as culture, psychology (心理学), arts, linguistics (语言学), the outlook of love and the opinion towards life.
94 Such as English, Russian, German and Korean. “His works do not belong only to one nation. 95 ” a Chinese writer said.
A．Lu Xun wrote a number of novels.
B．They are also important to the world.
C．Lu Xun’s works have been translated into many languages.
D．He died in 1936.
E．When he was alive, his works were like a lighthouse.

For me, one of the greatest happiness in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. 96 There’s nothing better than being lost in a movie story unless, of course, someone breaks down the moment.
At a cinema, there are always people treating the place like their own home! They don’t know how to behave.
97 So, you have to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and makes a lot of noises. And what I can’t stand most is that they chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the film.
I’m not alone in this situation. 98 He says, “The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend used the light on his phone to allow her to do her make-up!”
Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off—a most serious offence (冒犯)!
Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to. 99
If someone wants to break the rules of cinema manners, the best choice for him is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art and the sound effect of a film is on the big screen. 100
A．To start with, some people always arrive late.
B．It’s your choice!
C．However, we mustn’t forget the other moviegoers around us who want to enjoy the cinematic experience, too.
D．It’s a chance for me to get away from real life.
E．Simon Mayo, a film critic at the BBC experienced a “new low” during a film.

Focus on the right material(材料)
If you have learned a lot of material, ask your teacher what information will be on the test. If your teacher hands out a study guide, use that guide to help you find out what information you need to pay attention to most. Next, decide how you want to review. the material. Besides reviewing your notes, you could write key points on flash cards to test yourself. 19 If there is something you are not clear about, highlight(标亮) that part and ask your teacher for help.
Use smart strategies(策略)
As the day of the test comes closer, be sure to get enough sleep the night before and eat a healthy breakfast on the test day. You don’t want to be distracted(分神) by feeling hungry during the test! When you sit down to take the exam, give yourself a few minutes to review the whole test. You can start by answering the first question, but you can also work on questions in a later section that you find easier to answer. For multiple-choice questions(单选题), cross off answers that you know are incorrect(不正确的). 20 The correct answer may come to you later. Finally, if you finish the test before the time ends, instead of turning your test in right away, go back and review all your answers to check for any mistakes. You can do well!
A．This way, the information will be there for you when you need to review it
B．Write the question on one side of the card and the answer on the other.
C．Many teachers use, them to make sure that students have learned correctly.
D．If you still have more than one answer left, move on to the next question.

“Why ” the tiger asked.
“My dear sir. 23 I am the King of the forest! If you eat me, you’re disobeying the God’s order. Then you will be published by God.”
The tiger was silent, thinking whether it was true that the fox had been sent by the god. Seeing the tiger still in doubt, the fox said seriously, “If you don’t think what I said is true, 24 I’ll walk in front of you and you follow me. Let’s see whether all of them are afraid of me.”

The death of an orangutan（红毛大猩猩）in August broke the hearts of many people. 26 He was one of the world’s first apes（猿）to learn sign language.
In 1979, when Chantek was just 9 months old, he was taken to the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, US. Researcher Lyn Miles led an unusual experiment there. 27 The scientist then taught Chantek sign language. 28 He even came up with his own words, including “tomato toothpaste” for ketchup（番茄酱）. He was also taught other basic human skills, such as using a bathroom and cleaning his room.
Chantek stayed at the university for 8 years. He sometimes even walked to classes with students. But in 1986, Chantek escaped from his room and frightened a student. 29 He spent 11 years there living in a cage and becoming overweight and unhappy.
Chantek was moved to the Altanta Zoo in 1997. 30 But he was too shy to do it with strangers. Miles often visited Chantek at the zoo. She said that Chantek still saw himself as half human, and called the zoo’s other orangutans “orange dogs”. On August 7, Chantek died of heart disease at the age of 39.

One day, our class went on a trip to a mountain. It was not a very big mountain, so we could walk up. 31 We took lots of things, like tents, food, dishes and clothes.
32 After dinner, our teacher told us to hang (悬挂) all our food in a tree. Why If we didn’t, the bears (熊) would come for it… and we didn’t want that!
When we woke up in the morning, we got out of our tents to make breakfast. 33 “It must be a bear,” we thought. Although we were angry, we could do nothing.
We had no food for breakfast, so we went down the mountain early. And then we saw it — our bag of food was under a tree. 34 Inside the bag was a big raccoon (浣熊). The raccoon looked at us and made a sound like a cat. Then, three baby raccoons came out of the bag, and they all walked away.

Hello, travelers. I went to Morocco (摩洛哥) in March with my sister and had a wonderful time. We spent a week there.
The desert trip was an interesting experience, and you can do it after your visit to Fez. 36 We rode the camels into the desert and then had dinner (one of the best dinners I had in Morocco). 37 In the morning, seeing the sunrise in the desert is a wonderful experience and then they serve you breakfast. 38 It’s so interesting!
39 We exchanged (兑换) money in the bank of this village, because our money isn’t used there. I do think that a guide is very necessary, as it’s very difficult to talk with people there unless you speak French.
40 And I wish it’s helpful for your trip there. Enjoy your holiday!
A．I really think the desert trip should be an important part of your trip.
B．We also visited a small fishing village, but I forgot its name.

It is easy to know if a person is sleeping. But how do you know if a fish is sleeping 41 Fish do not lie down either.
Although fish may not sleep like people, they do rest. One way to know if a fish is resting is to watch what it is doing. 42 Some fish move at the bottom of the water. Some move slowly near the top of the water.
You can know some fish are resting because they stay in one place. 43 For example, some sharks (keep swimming so that they can breathe in the water. Although these sharks are always swimming, they may still be resting. 44 the organ(器官)allows them to keep their body moving while they are resting.
Another way to know if a fish is resting is to watch how it reacts to(对……作出反应) things. 45 If you have a pet fish at home, try giving your fish some food when it is resting. The fish will spend more time noticing the food than it does when staying awake(醒着).
Fish may not look like they are sleeping, but they do have their own ways of getting some rest.
A．They have a special organ in their body.
B．Fish cannot close their eyes like humans.
C．When a fish is resting, its reaction will be much slower.
D．Most fish will slow down when they are resting.

Car pool(拼车)
“Beep, beep,” goes the car horn(喇叭). You’ve got dressed, but you’ve not had time to eat breakfast. You run out of the front door with your schoolbag, and jump into the waiting car. Inside, your friends say “hey” as one of their parents drives you to school. 46
Car pools are a common way of transportation for many students in the US. You, along with many of your friends, can sit in one car. 47 And your parents may take turns to drive you all to school.
48 If you’re late, you can eat that breakfast you don’t have time for at home. If you’re behind on your homework, this is your last chance to finish it before class. Some simply add to their sleep time before classes begin. Besides walking or cycling to class, car pools are green if you can’t take the school bus. Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day, they can all squeeze(挤) into one. 49
More importantly, car pooling teaches students valuable life lessons not taught in class. It can teach students about being on time. It can also teach them the bad influence of being late. 50
A．If you’re late, then all of your friends will be late too.
B．This is the daily car pool to school.
C．Think of how much oil that can save!
D．Why is car pool so popular in the USA

My holiday is coming. Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA． 86
To fly, of course, is the fastest way, but you can’t see anything during your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds. 87 And the cost is very high.
To travel by train is relaxing, because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it. 88 But sometimes it’s crowded on the train, and it’s hard to buy train tickets during holidays.
89 though not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train. You can find buses almost in every city, big or small. 90
I take their advice. Now I decide to take a bus to the south coast(海岸) for an interesting trip.
A．That makes travel easy.
B．So it is not very interesting to you.
C．They said the best way is to go by bus and told me the reasons(原因).
D．You can also see cities and countrysides through the windows.
E．To travel by bus, my friends tell me, is easy, cheap and convenient.

Lu Xun, born in Shaoxinng County in Zhejiang Province on September 25, 1881, was one of the country’s greatest thinkers and writers in the 20th century. 91
92 Many people like reading them, such as The True Story of Ah Q, A Madman’s Diary, Kong Yiji and Medicine, which show the ugly side of human nature and emancipated (解放) people’s minds. Some people said Lu Xun’s works are like weapons (武器). Famous writer Lin Yutang called him a “warrior”. His works show the dark side of society and tradition in a special way.
93 They provided a guiding light for Chinese youths at that time.
Over the past years, thousands of people around the world have studied his works from different angles (角度), such as culture, psychology (心理学), arts, linguistics (语言学), the outlook of love and the opinion towards life.
94 Such as English, Russian, German and Korean. “His works do not belong only to one nation. 95 ” a Chinese writer said.
A．Lu Xun wrote a number of novels.
B．They are also important to the world.
C．Lu Xun’s works have been translated into many languages.
D．He died in 1936.

For me, one of the greatest happiness in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. 96 There’s nothing better than being lost in a movie story unless, of course, someone breaks down the moment.
At a cinema, there are always people treating the place like their own home! They don’t know how to behave.
97 So, you have to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and makes a lot of noises. And what I can’t stand most is that they chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the film.
I’m not alone in this situation. 98 He says, “The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend used the light on his phone to allow her to do her make-up!”
Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off—a most serious offence (冒犯)!
Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to. 99
If someone wants to break the rules of cinema manners, the best choice for him is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art and the sound effect of a film is on the big screen. 100
A．To start with, some people always arrive late.
B．It’s your choice!
C．However, we mustn’t forget the other moviegoers around us who want to enjoy the cinematic experience, too.
D．It’s a chance for me to get away from real life.
E．Simon Mayo, a film critic at the BBC experienced a “new low” during a film.
