People in southern China like famous and expensive dish—shark fin soup, but no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health. So why do they eat them? Do they realize that they’re killing a whole shark each time they enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. In fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years. Help save the sharks!

Imagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic（立方）meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
1． _____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.
A. Sana B. Lahej C. Hannan D. Times
2．A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.
A. enough drinking water to use B. no drinking water to use
C. no private companies D. more water pollution
3．What does the underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 充足 B. 短缺 C. 干旱 D. 需求
4．We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.
A. the poor don’t have to worry about the water supply
B. the 18-year-old boy is from a poor family
C. private companies make a lot of money
D. Lahej is a beautiful place
5． Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A. How to Save Water
B. How to Make Use of Seawater
C. How People Use Water Fully
D. Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage

3．B词义猜测题。本题要求我们猜测shortage这个单词的意思，根据这个单词我们找到短文的第三段，Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply，政府减少水供应，可见也门这个国家的水出现了短缺。shortage短缺，故应选B。
4．C 细节理解题。根据短文第四段中Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices可知，私人公司拥有卡车，他们可以到城市的各处去卖水，并且是以很高的价格。由此可见，私人公司可以赚很多钱，故选C。
5．D主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了现在水资源的缺乏，尤其提到了也门这个国家，根据一项报告，也门的首都萨那到2025年的时候，就将没有饮用水了。也门政府也正在想办法解决这个问题。由此可知，D选项Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage这个题目概括了短文的大意，故应选D。

It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.

Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie’s friends cheered. “Go, Millie, go!”
Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope, "Ready, set. Go!"
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quietly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, "Go, Millie, go!"
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Millie的一节体育课，老师让学生们跳长绳，Millie不知道怎样跳，她试了一次，但是失败了。其实Millie会跳绳，只是因为没有人给她摇绳，所以她不会跳长绳。体育老师看到了这一幕，她让学生们比赛跳短绳，Millie最后赢了，她很开心。
1．C词义猜测题。根据短文的开头Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned以及Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.可知，Millie不会跳长绳，所以她排在队伍的后面。再根据下文Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class可知，Millie会跳短绳，而且跳得很好，所以她笑了。由此可知frown和smile的相反意思的词，故选C。

“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The question comes from the Bible(圣经). In the Bible, Cain kills his brother Abel. When God asks Cain where Abel is, he replies, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” by which he means, “Am I responsible (有责任心的) for my brother—his safety and health?” The answer, of course, is “Yes, you are.”
This sense of responsibility for others is basic to all good societies. And also it is basic to what we call “civil(文明的) society”. China is now working on building a civil society and the high schools in Shanghai want students to take part in that through volunteering. They are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer work before graduation. This is something new in China, but it is not new in other countries.
In the Canadian province of Ontario, high school students are required to do forty hours of volunteering. In some American states, the volunteering requirement is one hundred hours. These students spend about an hour a week during the school year and summer vacations, helping the poor, the sick and the old. They also teach young children to read and help to clean up the environment. And studies have shown that this volunteering experience influences students a lot after graduation.
Some of you may be thinking, “Gee, sixty class hours is a lot. How can I find the time?” In fact, if you finish it in three years, you only need to do the work about three class hours a month. And the time is well spent if it helps you realize that “being your brother’s keeper” makes you a better person and makes society a better place for everyone.
1． A Shanghai high school student should finish class hours of volunteer work before graduation.
A. thirty B. forty C. sixty D. one hundred
2．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to “ ”.
A. building a civil society B. reading the Bible
C. doing the volunteer work D. playing more sports
3．According to the writer, “being your brother’s keeper” means “ ”.
A. being a good school student B. being responsible for others
C. taking good care of your brother D. doing volunteer work with your brother
4．The main purpose of the writing is to .
A. tell students where to do volunteer work
B. give advice on how to be a good volunteer
C. encourage students to do more volunteer work
D. introduce volunteer work in different countries

Winter is cold, with piles of snow,
When rain falls and no trees grow.
For kids it’s the snow they desire,
And cups of cocoa before the fire.
When winter is gone, the grass grows,
Roses and trees, light wind blows
The bees are buzzing, the birds are singing,
Sheep are grazing and cow bells are ringing.
And then the sun starts to shine too brightly,
It is so hot that fans are put on nightly.
And then it’s off to the beach or pool,
Where people swim about just to keep cool.
All the leaves on the trees turn golden-brown,
And when on the ground make a big sound.
In autumn a lot of money he spends,
For clearing leaves on the backyards.
Each season has its own goods and its bads,
But since they are different I am glad.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you.” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
1． What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
2．Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
3．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C. My Father D. My Childhood
【答案】
1．A 2．A 3．B

The other day I came across a few local musicians and happened to hear them talking:
"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can't even understand a bit of music."
"I'm never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us."
But one younger musician said, "There are a few clubs that book my band (乐队) a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking forward to booking a few summer festivals this year."
It's said that you are the average (平均) of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes（态度） are important. Whether they're positive(积极的)or negative (消极的), they're rubbing off on you. If you're always around people who complain about short of work and about other musicians or say bad words about others, and you play the role of a victim, it's possible that you will start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends", as what kind of friends you have decides what kind of life you are going to live.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you often go out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.21cnjy.com
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it and learn from them. Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
