Still Miles to Go
My husband Tom came with a huge grin on his face. He held his arms wide and announced his retirement after working for the Postal Service for thirty-three years. But as time went by, I could tell that Tom had nothing to do at home. He began to pace like a lion, glancing out of the windows.
“I think I’ll look for a part-time job.” Tom informed me one day. I felt instant relief. The lion would cease circling, and I could be in peace. We kept our eyes open for job opportunities. A few days later, when our car crept behind a school bus, I remarked “You could drive that bus.” He had driven us over the mountains through rainstorms on winding roads. Behind the wheel, he seemed fearless. “Of course, I could drive that bus,” he answered back. “But could I drive it with forty-five children bouncing and yelling in the back ” We both laughed at the thought.
That bus became the bumblebee(大黄蜂) that buzzed around me. I pictured Tom happily going off to work again, climbing behind the wheel and setting off on his daily route. My enthusiasm must have attracted Tom because I overheard him on the phone with the transportation department. He was hired. The very next morning, he was given a bus and a route sheet. Driving the bus turned out rewarding, and Tom is blooming in his new role. I think he likes being the “big guy” on the road.
He is now “Mr. Tom” to his riders and their parents. I hear he is quite amazing. When the pre-K children climb aboard, he fastens the safety belt for them. He greets the children with high-fives. Then he leads them in a quick and fun activity, where they get to shout after hours spent in their quiet classroom. “Goodbye, teachers!” yells Mr. Tom. The little ones repeat it. “Goodbye, school!” Again, they repeat, joyfully. Mr. Tom then yells out the last two lines, and the children laugh and repeat at the top of their lungs.
He has been driving the bus for seven years and has gotten lots of thank-notes from grateful parents. Sometimes, while a school bus passes me, it always warms my heart when the driver is the one I’m hoping to see and I catch the kiss he blows me.
24. Why did Tom decide to look for a part-time job after retirement
A. He was bored at home
B. He missed interacting with people.
C. He needed extra money
D. His wife wanted peace in the house.
25. What was Tom’s initial reaction when his wife suggested he drive a school bus
A. He thought it was a silly idea.
B. He was excited to accept the job.
C. He was unsure if he could handle the disorderly children.
D. He didn’t think he was qualified for the job.
26. What does the author appreciate most about Tom’s new job
A. It keeps him occupied.
B. He has found a sense of achievement in his work.
C. He can interact with children.
D. He overcomes his fear.

A. Sensitivity, flexibility and humor. B. Carefulness, discipline and authority.
C. Enthusiasm, leadership and courage. D. Patience, kindness and responsibility.
C
Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D．Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence (证据) about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved.” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
28．What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami
A．Many people died but wild animals survived.
B．The “six sense” of wild animals developed
C．Wild beasts were killed or went missing
D．The coast was found in good condition.
29．What does H.D．Ratnayake do
A．He is a zoo keeper. B．He is a wildlife official.
C．He is a movie director. D．He is an animal behaviour expert.
30．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in paragraph 5
A．Taking up. B．Putting up. C．Picking up. D．Bringing up.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．Animals can save themselves from human activity.
B．Animals’ natural power to escape from danger.
C．How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.
D．The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
D
Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes greatly before the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings according to Live Science.
Berberich and her team discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their homes right along active faults (断层) in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆) lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth breaks in earthquakes.
Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity, Berberich and her team tracked the ants round the clock for three years. They found that the ants’ behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude 2.0. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes over magnitude 2.0 only.
According to Berberich, normal ant activity is made up of going about collecting food during the day and resting in the night. But before an earthquake, the ants didn’t go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Live Science.
How do ants know an earthquake is coming Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas or noting small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can sense changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for discovering electromagnetic fields,” she said. Berberich and her team are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes.
32. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. present. B. avoid. C. quit. D. recover.
33. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To explain a finding. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make the text interesting. D. To tell how to predict an earthquake.
34. What happens to the ants before an earthquake
A. They are too excited to rest.
B. They don’t collect their food.
C. They get lost on their way back home.
D. They don’t go inside their mound in the night.
35. What can be learned about the ants from the passage
A. They can only sense smaller earthquakes.
B They have two ways to predict earthquakes.
C. The result of the research is completely reliable.
D. They can be depended on to warn people of earthquakes.

Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because they believe it is only about rote memorization (死记硬背) . 36 Whether you’re learning a new language or improving your current one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize new words.
★Integrate (融入) the new words into your environment.
Hang large blank pieces of paper in places you frequent, like the bathroom or kitchen. Add new words and their meanings to the hanging paper as you see them. 37 You can also draw a small picture showing the meaning of the word beside it.
★ 38
You can write new words into sentences related to your own life. For example, if you want to learn to use the word “azure”, a bright blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation: “My new cup is a beautiful azure color.”
★ Turn learning into an educational game.
The more fun you can make your vocabulary learning time, the more likely you are to do it. There are a number of free vocabulary-learning games online. 39
★ Revise the words.
40 . So even if you’ve got those words remembered, you still need a review. After revising them a couple of times, make sure you are confident with their use.
A．Make the new words part of your life.
B．That way you'll find yourself frequently noticing them.
C．Choose a book that you would like to read.
D．Make the most of these resources and you will make unexpected progress.
E．Not everyone has a great memory.
F．Luckily, that’s far from the case.
G．You want to have somewhere to look up the meaning of the word.

Mary was a middle school student. She was beautiful, kind and helpful. She lived with her mother, who was a single mother. Her mother worked in a factory, unable to make much money. So they were living a poor life. But that didn't prevent them from helping people who were in trouble. Her mother always told Mary that she just needed to do good deeds, and good luck would come naturally. Their kindness earned them the respect and praise from their neighbors, and in turn, they often helped the mother and daughter whenever they needed.
Mary graduated from high school this year and then she successfully entered a university. She chose a university not far from her home. This way she could still stay at home with her mother, which would save a lot of money. But other costs of the university still weighed heavily on them. Among all the necessities, she badly needed a computer, which meant quite a lot of money.
Mary knew that her mother could not afford to buy her a computer. She felt sad, but she told her mother about it anyway. They came up with a lot of ideas, but they didn't think they were suitable. Finally they decided to ask for help online. Soon, a kind person offered to give her a used laptop. The mother and daughter were very happy. They were very thankful for the man's generous help. Soon after, Mary received an almost brand-new laptop. Mary carried it happily to school every day.
One day Mary went to school as usual. On her way, she saw a little boy coming out of a shop. Suddenly he ran into the middle of the busy road. The child''s mother was probably too careless and did not notice the child run out by himself. Facing the danger, Mary jumped off her bike and rushed to the middle of the road to carry the child to safety. The child was saved, but Mary fell to the ground with her laptop.
