Luling, a small town in Texas, is home to a watermelon water tower, a watermelon queen and a festival called the Watermelon Thump.www-2-1-cnjy-com
The event includes food, music and a parade. But what sets this watermelon festival apart from others is the World Championship Seed Spitting (吐西瓜籽) Contest.21*cnjy*com
Only about 5,500 people live in Luling. But since 1954, the population has swelled on the last weekend in June. Now, tens of thousands of people come from all around to attend the four-day festival.
“The seed-spitting crowds get into it，” said Edgar Camacho, who is father to four seed-spitting champions. “Parents from Luling take it seriously.”
The competition is limited to about 50 kids and 50 adults. The kids are divided into four age groups. For the individual (个人的) competition, everyone gets two spits, and judges record the better one. For the team event, judges take the sum of four spits from four participants (参与者)．【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
“It's really fun and exciting，” said Victoria Camacho, 14. “The crowd is all watching you and cheering for you, and your family is there.” About 200 people watch. “It's really a lot of pressure because you don't want to mess up.”
Victoria won her age group four years ago with a spit of 36 feet. Two years ago, her brother A. J．， 17, broke the youth record in Luling when he spat a seed 58 feet 91/2 inches. That's more than half the length of a basketball court. (The adult seed-spitting world record, set in 1989, is 68 feet 91/8 inches.)
“It's fun to come out and compete every year. It's just a really competitive spirit that all the families have，” said A. J．， who has won the seed-spitting contest about 10 times.21世纪教育网版权所有
The Camachos have no plans to give up their competitive spitting anytime soon.
“Even if I don't live in Texas，” said Davis Camacho, 20, a five-time winner. “I'll make the yearly journey to Luling.”
【文章大意】 本文是一则新闻报道。美国德州的Luling小镇每年举办一次西瓜节，该节日的最特别之处在于其吐西瓜籽比赛。
4．What does the underlined word “swelled” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Increased. B．Doubled.
C．Recovered. D．Dropped.
解析：A 词义猜测题。根据划线词前后句的对比：Only about 5,500 people live in Luling和tens of thousands of people come可知，自1954年开始，Luling小镇的人口在六月最后的那个周末不断增加。而根据该段的内容可知，小镇的常住人口仅有5500人，因为当地举办的西瓜节吸引来自世界各地的游客，因此人口在节日期间急剧上涨，increase“增加”，double“加倍”，recover“恢复”，drop“下降”，所以小镇的人口实际上并没有恢复到以前什么状态。
5．What's the rule for the group competition?
A．Everyone gets two spits.
B．The best four spits are recorded.
C．Each team member can spit only once.
D．Participants are divided into four age groups.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的For the team event，judges take the sum of four spits from four participants可知，在团体比赛中，每名参赛人员只能吐一次西瓜籽。
6．How does Victoria feel about the competition?
A．Confident and lucky.
B．Stupid and bored.
C．Happy and fearless.
D．Excited and nervous.
解析：D 推理判断题。根据Victoria在第六段中说的It's really fun and exciting和It's really a lot of pressure可知，她认为比赛既刺激又紧张。
7．What can we learn about the competition?
A．It lasts four days.
B．It happens every year.
C．It is an international event.
D．It gets thousands of viewers.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的The Camachos have no plans to give up their competitive spitting anytime soon以及Camacho的家庭成员之一Davis在最后一段中说的Even if I don't live in Texas和I'll make the yearly journey to Luling可知，吐西瓜籽比赛一年举行一次。这里需要注意D项，尽管文章第三段提到tens of thousands of people come from all around to attend the four-day festival，但是根据第六段中的About 200 people watch可知，该比赛的观众只有几百号人，并没有数以万计那么多。

Many people in the world might think that being educated is somewhat not important. However, knowledge is just the basic thing you can get from education. Of course, you will know various things from history to mathematics, from science to literature, This knowledge will definitely play a huge role in your life and guide you to fully understand events in a right manner.
Being educated will allow you to know not only your responsibilities as a citizen, but also the rights you can enjoy. Perhaps knowing about your rights, such as consumer rights against cheating (欺诈) from business owners, can greatly help to raise your voice if you notice that there is something wrong around you.
Humankind is considered as a social animal. Being educated will bring you into a system where you must interact (交往) with people and have conversations with each other. It will help you live happily. You get to have nice friends who will help you grow.
As one grows, leadership qualities are developed. Some of the things that can help improve an individual's characteristics and qualities include different school activities and different lessons regarding world leaders. The knowledge you can get from education can be used in leading revolutions or perhaps an office team. If you know the world, you will gain confidence. A great education will make sure that your skills will be enhanced and that you get to gain a level of confidence to use these skills.
In today's world, you may be cheated easily since people can take advantage of those who are not well-educated. If you have both knowledge and wise thoughts, you can prevent these kinds of people from coming near. Technology is developing every day. An educated person will understand these new technology improvements and use them to their advantage.
【文章大意】 教育不仅能够让人学到有用的知识，还能为人们今后的生活与发展提供帮助。

9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “enhanced” in Paragraph 4?21·cn·jy·com
A．Ignored. B．Hidden.
C．Improved. D．Exchanged.

B．It requires people to help each other.

Ⅱ.七选五
If you're looking to build a children's library, one of the first books you're likely to come across is The Snowy Day. __1__ After it came out, it became the first picture book to have an African-American main character. Keats won the Caldecott Medal for his illustrations (插图) in the book in 1963.
“__2__However, none of the books I had drawn pictures for had any black kids as main characters－except for blacks in the background，” he wrote in a book. “My book would have a black kid there simply because he should have been there all along.”
But The Snowy Day is welcome for much more than its political (政治的) importance. It's a magical story about a boy named Peter exploring his neighborhood on a snowy day. __3__One of my son's favorite pages shows that Peter was sitting in a warm bath after telling his mother about his adventures. We always read the text together, and he thought about it for a long time.
__4__ It's still on the Time's list of The 100 Best Children's Books of All Time. And Amazon Studios is now releasing a holiday special (特制品) based on the book. The special includes the voice talent of Regina King, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Angela Bassett, as well as an original song by Boyz Ⅱ Men.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Diversity (多样化) in children's literature continues to be an issue today. __5__

B．Who loves reading this book today?
C．Ezra Jack Keats wrote this book in 1962.

E．I love books that have black kids as main characters.
F．Before I wrote this book, I had drawn pictures for many books.
G．A book like The Snowy Day just doesn't come to us all that often.
【文章大意】 The Snowy Day是一本深受小孩喜爱的儿童书籍，它的独特之处在于它是一本以美国黑人小孩为主人公的儿童书籍。2·1·c·n·j·y

2．解析：F 根据此空后的However, none of the books I had drawn pictures for had any black kids as main characters...可知，Keats说在写这本书前他给很多书籍画过插图。
3．解析：A 根据第三段的内容可知，本段是在介绍这本书的内容，故此答案符合语境，即：这本书的插图与文本十分简单。
4．解析：D 根据此空后的It's still on the Time's list of The 100 Best Children's Books of All Time. 可知，这里是指这本书现在仍然深受读者喜爱。
5．解析：G 根据末段的Diversity in children's literature continues to be an issue today.可知，此空应该是解释儿童书籍匮乏的原因，即：毕竟像The Snowy Day这样优秀的，适合孩子阅读的书籍并不常见。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.21*cnjy*com
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected(忽视), he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spreaded to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group'sreligious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive(积极的) way.

3．What is Cleveland?
A．An island.
B．A country.
C．A village in England.

4．What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage?

The first time I went to the zoo was several years ago, with parents. Yesterday I went to the zoo with some classmates. Arriving here, we got a guidebook and started walking round a zoo. We all got pretty exciting about visiting the animals. But something in their eyes made me to think they might enjoy live in the wild rather than be kept in a cage. One classmate might have guessed what had come in my mind, as he tells me at least in this way we had a good chance to know more about the animals. I don't know. Maybe some days there will have a better way to see and study them.

Holiday in Sydney is a good choice for people trying to get away from cold winter days. You can spend Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year in Sydney. All hotels in Sydney are also prepared for business activities. The Christmas spirit is more wonderful when evening falls. Nightlife in Sydney is full of energy, but during holidays it owns a special taste.21·cn·jy·com
White sandy beaches are located only within a short walk from hotels. You will find beach barbecues (烧烤), surfing, and diving under the sea very enjoyable. There are also public street festivals such as Chinese New Year between January and February. You need to book hotels in advance because they are often filled fast.
Running from Christmas to the New Year, numerous musical events are held in different places, from hotel restaurants to the Royal Botanical Gardens. Christmas carol (欢歌) performances are free for visitors to enjoy when the Sydney Youth Orchestra plays at the Royal Botanical Gardens.【出处：21教育名师】
Chinese New Year is one of Sydney's annual (每年的) attractions. 500,000 people will gather in the city, so if you are traveling to Sydney, this is a reason to extend your vacations. Hotels near Belmore Park offer food events during Chinese New Year, and Darling Harbor runs traditional Dragon Boat Races. Others offer tours to the Sze Yup Temple, a Taoist (道教) Church located in Evergreen.
Seasonal food is also offered at the restaurants, cafes, and room service. In addition, New Year brings the opportunity to celebrate dining with other guests at your hotel.

Living abroad brings many challenges. One of them is looking for the best way to get used to a new culture while not losing your identity. In this process I have noticed that it's very positive to be in touch with expats, especially with expats from your own country. Why? Read on.
I have been in Germany for one year and I have had many experiences. Some of them were more positive than others. But when unexpected things happened, it was nice to meet with other Colombians to listen to their experiences. Through this exchange, I have realized that others have felt the same, and that I am not the only one who has had difficulties. I also believe that they, too, have taken something from my experience.21*cnjy*com
Colombians are really friendly and usually don't have any problems with meeting new people. This has helped me to increase my social network quickly. When I arrived in Germany, I had two Colombian friends here, and I have kept in touch with one of them who helped me to meet other people, not only Colombians.
Most likely, if you are a foreigner in Germany, your native language is not German. This is the way it is in my case. My native language is Spanish and I really enjoy speaking it. But it's even better when I can share my opinions, thoughts, and worries with other expats, or when I can talk about topics which would not seem interesting to local Germans. Besides, it's possible to use lines and jokes that only those who come from the same country or the same corner of the world can understand.
I like social networks and since I arrived in Germany, I have been connected with other expats through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On these social networks, I can communicate with others and share my experiences. Meanwhile, I also find interesting information that I don't usually get in other forms of media, such as information about jobs, flats, language courses, offers of Colombian products and events which are not in the local newspapers.
【文章大意】 在国外居住，通过跟来自同一个国家的人交流可以让在国外的生活变得更好。
4．Who are most probably expats?
A．People who face many challenges.
B．People who have lost their identities.
C．People who love trying different cultures.
D．People who have moved to another country.

Almost every night for more than ten years, Kirk Alexander, 48, of Salem, Oregon, ordered dinner from his local restaurant Domino's Pizza. Then one day, he stopped calling.
“It had been several days，”Domino's general manager Sarah Fuller said, “which is not like him.”
Sarah had known Kirk since 2009. Many Domino's delivery drivers regularly made the short trip to Kirk's house, about six minutes away. She knew he worked from home and that he hardly went outside. She also knew that he had suffered health problems in the past. Sarah was worried. Perhaps something was wrong.
Around 1 a．m. on Sunday, May 8, Sarah sent delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to Kirk's home. Tracey approached the door as he had countless times before and knocked. He could plainly see the TV set and lights were on, but after several minutes, Kirk still hadn't answered the door. Tracey called Kirk. The call went straight to voice mail.21世纪教育网版权所有
Tracey then called 911, and soon officers were on their way. When they arrived at Kirk's house, they heard a man calling for help from inside. They broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of immediate medical attention after suffering from what Sarah said was a stroke. One day later, and they might have been too late.
So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino's business plan? Not really, says Sarah. “Kirk is part of our family here，” she said. “We felt like we needed to do something.”【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
【文章大意】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了一家比萨店的善举挽救了一位老顾客性命的故事。

解析：A 标题归纳题。通读文章后可知，一位比萨店的老顾客几乎每天都要订餐，然而接连好几天并没这样做，该店的经理觉得事有蹊跷，因此派人过去查看，最后发现该顾客中风倒地。如果不是比萨店经理的此举，该顾客已经性命不保。由此可知，A项概括了文章主旨，作标题形象、贴切。21cnjy.com

Ridgewood is a small town 20 miles from Manhattan, New York. It is a quiet town, perfect for raising children away from the rapid pace of the city. However, besides hours of homework, many Ridgewood children have too many after-school activities－from swimming to piano classes. Some kids compare their life to that of a New York general manager who has an 80-hour workweek.2·1·c·n·j·y
Children's schedules filled with homework and activities made a lot of townspeople worried, so the town decided to start a movement called “Ridgewood Family Night－Ready, Set, Relax！” The mayor (市长) made a public statement, calling for a town-wide night for families to do nothing. And schools and clubs agreed to support the movement so families could relax and get together.
Some parents like to talk about their childhood, one without so many scheduled after-school activities. As kids, they just went out to play with neighborhood friends after school. However, almost all these parents take their children to their regularly scheduled activities. These fathers and mothers feel it is their duty to make sure their children are prepared to survive in today's high-pressure work environment. They are afraid that their children can't enter the “right” universities and won't succeed in a more and more competitive world.
However, it seems that Family Night worked, at least to a certain degree. Cars moved freely around Ridgewood's normally busy downtown streets. Some families ate supper together for the first time in months. One family watched home movies of when the children were little, baked cookies and played games together.
At first, some people were excited that they could take back their lives. But sadly, few families now believe that one night will change them. Nearly all of the townspeople are sure that they will fall back into the old habit.

Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.
Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume (消耗) an average of 100 calories less during the day than their colleagues who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.【版权所有：21教育】
Don't skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.
We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Eat your fruit and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal, have a salad for lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.
Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get a head start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food，get enough sleep，and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel (燃料)”. Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein，like meat，fish，eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles，and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life－span (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.
If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.

One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux(胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don't always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.21*cnjy*com
What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked:_dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients' evening meals has become later and later. Dinner－already pushed back by longer work hours－is often further, delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.
In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p．m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.
She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you，”she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we're the reason that it's not so easy to get 6 p. m. reservation (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”
To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p. m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了吃晚饭吃得太晚的危害。
1．The disease the waiter caught is ________.
A．on the rise
B．easy to control
C．unusual in America
D．the most dangerous cancer
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years可知，患胃酸倒流病的人数正在逐年增加。
2．What does the underlined word“overlooked”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Talked about a lot.

B．He asked her to change her eating habits.
C．He couldn't find a way to deal with her problem.
D．He couldn't make her healthy again within a year.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.和第四段可知，作者让这位女病人将自己的晚饭时间提前，然而女病人很难做到，因此恨作者。
4．The author writes the text to tell us ________.
A．not to work late at night.
B．to avoid eating at restaurants
C．unhealthy foods cause cancer
D．the danger of eating late at night
解析：D 写作目的题。作者以一个病人的案例引出晚上吃饭时间太晚容易得胃酸倒流痛，并且给出自己的建议，然后再以一个女病人的病例对此加以证明，最后得出结论。由此可知，作者写作此文的目的在于告诫大家晚饭时间很关键，不能吃得太晚，否则会导致疾病，甚至会威胁生命。2·1·c·n·j·y

My first trip to Greece took place in the 1960s. There I accepted a challenge to hitchhike (搭便车) with a group of English friends from my university in Birmingham to Athens with little money. For me, a 20-year-old girl, I had not done anything like this before. It was so hard on the road. We slept in the open air, ate little more than bread and cheese, and depended heavily on the help of strangers. But it helped me learn about European society.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
One day, my Greek friend came to see me at the youth hostel and asked me to step outside. He was angry with me. He reminded me of my social background and asked what my parents would say if they saw me living in these conditions like these “dirty” English. After several weeks on the road, we did look tired, but his choice of the word “dirty” interested me. He was showing a historic dislike of the English that same Europeans had. In that part of Europe, both the Turks and the Greeks, who dislike each other to this day, blamed (责怪) the English for their national disasters. He ignored my explanations of having accepted the challenge of hitchhiking. He took me home and his family, especially his mother and sisters, showed me Greek hospitality (好客) at its best.21*cnjy*com
My experience in Greece could not have differed more from the situation facing Pakistanis－and others seeking shelter－in Greece today. On recent visits to Greece in connection with my study on Islam in Europe, I saw the trouble of the refugees (难民). Some said that they had been physically beaten. However, there are good stories of ordinary Greeks giving shelter to some hopeless refugees. The sense of Greek hospitality that I experienced as a student does exist.

A．To visit a friend in Greece.

The population of the United States grows larger every year. The state that has been growing the fastest is Nevada. The city that has been receiving the most new residents (居民) is Las Vegas, which lies in the desert in Southern Nevada.
Why are so many people moving to Las Vegas? First, it is easy to find a job. Tourism is the number one industry in Las Vegas, so there are many service jobs. Workers are building thousands of new homes, buildings, and schools. The children need teachers. People need to shop for food, clothing, and cars, so the stores are looking for clerks (职员). About one third of the new residents are from California, where it is more difficult to find a job. Second, Nevada has no income tax (所得税). Most states have an income tax of 2%, 4%, 5% or more. Third, many people like the weather. Even though it's very hot in the summer, the other seasons are beautiful. There are over 250 days of sunshine each year. Finally, housing is still affordable, with the price of a new home at about $139,500. People moving from California find that this is reasonable in comparison to homes in their state.
Las Vegas is also the wedding capital of the United States. It is easier to get married in Las Vegas than in any other city in the United States. You don't need a blood test. You don't need to wait for a week for a marriage license. It's possible to get married the same day you apply for (申请) a marriage license.
Las Vegas also has problems. Because it sits in the desert, there is not enough water. Even though water is expensive, residents have not been careful in conserving water. Next, Las Vegas has serious air pollution problems. Las Vegas is surrounded (环绕) by high mountains, some as high as 10,000 feet. These mountains hold in the pollution from the cars. At times, there are warnings not to exercise outdoors. Finally, as the city becomes larger, people are traveling farther to work and the average commute (通勤) time has been increasing.21教育名师原创作品

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As a child, Sue Hendrickson loved to look for buried treasure. She would also walk along streets, looking at the ground and hoping to find interesting things.
One day, Hendrickson visited an amber mine. One piece of amber had an insect in it, and a miner told her that it was 23 million years old. At that moment, Hendrickson knew that she wanted to search for fossils (化石)．
In 1990, she traveled to South Dakota with a team of scientists looking for dinosaur bones. The team's car broke down. When the others went to get the car fixed, Hendrickson and her dog stayed behind and went for a walk. On her walk, Hendrickson saw some bones on the ground and then looked up. There, in the high area of rock, was a huge dinosaur skeleton (骨骼)! The group uncovered the biggest, most complete skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex (霸王龙) that had ever been found. The T. rex was named “Sue” after its discoverer.21教育网
This was not Hendrickson's only adventure. Two years later, she dove with scientists to explore a sunken ship. It was a Spanish trading ship from the 1600s. At it, the scientists found hundreds of huge stone bowls and more than 400 gold and silver coins.
Hendrickson has plans for more adventures. She wants to look for more dinosaur bones and hopes to find a woolly mammoth (长毛象) skeleton. Often, Hendrickson travels to The Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, her hometown. That is where Sue the T. rex is on display. Sue Hendrickson likes to visit Sue the dinosaur whenever she can.

This journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight o'clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.
I decided to step out and stretch (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.
I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man. He called to me again and signaled me to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine, and saw no reason not to do so.21*cnjy*com

The mind of an elephant should not be underestimated. They are intelligent animals born with both excellent memory and artistic talent.Elephants eat about 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day. They spend about 16 hours a day eating, but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food. The average (通常的) elephant lives about 70 years, and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier, even as a baby.
In an elephant's travels, it comes across other elephants also looking for food. Some elephants are friendly, and some are not so nice, Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met. They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven't seen for 30 years. They immediately remember whether this elephant is an enemy or a friend.
When elephants are not searching for food, they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks(象鼻). They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand. One day, an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布). Sure enough, it did, and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes, paints, and canvases. The resulting abstract (抽象的) art has been sold for high prices around the world. The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos. Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts. However, they have been trained to paint trees, flowers, and other things in nature. This has enabled us to understand “elephant genius (天才)” even more.

Snow White is the story of an Evil (邪恶的) Queen who is jealous (妒忌的) of her beautiful step-daughter and asks a huntsman (猎人) to kill her. After the huntsman is unable to complete the task, Snow White runs throughout the forest and finds a small house of seven dwarfs (小矮人). Hearing that the huntsman didn't kill the Snow White from her magic mirror, the Evil Queen takes matters into her own hands and decides to find and kill Snow White herself. Pretending to be an old beggar, the Evil Queen gives Snow White a dangerous apple. Snow White falls into a deep sleep after eating the apple and is later woken up by a handsome Prince. They live happily ever after.21教育名师原创作品
In the original Brothers Grimm tale, the above isn't the end of the story as the Evil Queen unknowingly is invited to the wedding of Snow White and Prince. Once she arrives at Snow White's big day, hot iron shoes are placed in front of her and she is forced to step into the burning shoes and dance until she drops dead. This ending is much darker than that seen in the 1937 Disney film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Disney film adds a child-like wonder to the tale with the dwarfs each being named and therefore they all have their own personalities: Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. Also in_variation to the original tale, the Prince and Snow White have met before her eating the apple and Snow White wakes up immediately after the Prince kissed her. They live happily ever after.
The 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman added something new to the tale. The Huntsman is told to return Snow White to the Evil Queen. If he does that, the Evil Queen Will bring his wife back from the dead. Upon realizing that this was an empty promise, the Huntsman decides to teach Snow White how to fight against the Evil Queen.
The moral (寓意) of the story hasn't changed over time: good will win in the end over evil.21*cnjy*com

B．Snow White is killed by the Evil Queen.
C．Snow White becomes evil in the end.
D．The Evil Queen dies in great pain.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段的Once she arrives at Snow White's big day, hot iron shoes are placed in front of her and she is forced to step into the burning shoes and dance until she drops dead.可知，这个版本的结局是：恶毒王后在痛苦中死去了。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
3．What does the underlined part “in variation to” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Similar to. B．Better than.
C．Important to. D．Different from.

What's the most important thing in a piece of writing? Is it the story, the characters, the description, or the style? Obviously, you can't choose only one. A great work succeeds in combining all of them in a great mix (结合), producing a wonderful work.【出处：21教育名师】
In most cases, you're better at one writing element over the rest, and working on your strengths will work to your advantage. Building characters, however, is important to your writing. It's not to be ignored no matter what your case is. So, how do you achieve that?
Make Them Real
This is probably one of the most common pieces of writing advice: make your characters believable. What does it really mean? It means that your characters need to be there for a reason, not just for pushing the story forward. He/ She has a real life, with his/her own fears and dreams, and you have to show this. Your characters don't need to be typical (典型的) to be believable. The unusual ones are even more interesting, but it's your job to make your readers relate to them.
Understand Human Psychology (心理特征)
To build great characters, you'll need to understand people's psychology: what are they thinking about, what are they feeling and experiencing, and why are they doing what they are doing? Get behind the obvious. Be in the backstage with them. Sit them in a chair and let them talk away. If you truly listen, you will learn.
Be Your Character
When you immerse (使沉浸) yourself in your writing, you get lost in that world and you start living in it. This is when the magic happens and you become your character. By putting yourself in your character's shoes, you allow yourself to experience what you're writing about first-hand. The more it feels real to you, the more the readers will feel the same, too.www-2-1-cnjy-com

The work that the ordinary Americans can do abroad usually pays better than what the ordinary locals do. A full-time teaching job in Ukraine, for example, can help you live a very rich life. However, if you become bored with your position, other job choices are somewhat limited unless you speak the local language as well as English. Moreover, you will probably find that some benefits don't exist for foreigners.
When you live abroad, opportunities for international travel increase greatly. You may be able to take a day trip across the border from your apartment in Budapest to a concert in Vienna or take a boat to Montevideo for a night out after work in Buenos Aires. However, your money may not allow especially comfortable travel and you may have to stay in inexpensive hotels, cook your own food and take long-distance land transportation.

The number of people in the US without a home is down from one year ago. The total is nearly 550,000, about 3% lower than last year. The number comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The information comes after a report from the United Nations that homelessness is “spreading” worldwide. The report asked governments around the world to terminate homelessness by 2030 so that no one would have to live on the streets.
The UN last did a study on the world's homeless population 11 years ago. At that time, it estimated (估计) the total at 100 million. But the UN said the number is likely much higher today. It estimates that 100 million children alone are now without a home.
Recently, in the city of Mosul, Iraq, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development measured (统计) homelessness on a single night. In January, thousands of volunteers spread out across the country. They counted a total of 549,922 homeless people. That is down 14% from six years ago. Still, the government reported increased homelessness in the cities of Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle and Washington, D．C. Officials thought higher housing prices are responsible for the increase.
Leilani Farha, the top UN official on housing, said homelessness is an issue of life-and-death importance. “The death rate (死亡率) among homeless people is two to ten times higher than that among the people who are not homeless，” she said.
In the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, 250,000 people do not have a place to stay. Many of them are children, and live on the streets. In India, the homeless population is estimated at 78 million. Eleven million of that number are street children. Indonesia's homeless population is 3 million, including 28,000 in the capital, Jakarta. In Nigeria, the homeless population is estimated at 24 million.
【文章大意】 本文是新闻报道，话题是社会生活类。报告显示：全世界无家可归的总人数增加了不少。
1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “terminate” in Paragraph 1?
A．show B．replace
C．end D．protect

A．It is more serious than 11 years ago.
B．Those who are homeless are mainly elders.
C．The US should provide money to solve the problem.
D．Nigeria has the highest number of homeless people.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的At that time, it estimated the total at 100 million. But the UN said the number is likely much higher today可知，联合国调查表明当今全球无家可归的人数可能比十一年前更多，即这一问题比过去更严重了。
3．What do Leilani Farha's words in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A．Homelessness hasn't drawn enough attention.
B．The number of homeless people increases fast.
C．Homeless people are usually those who are sick.
D．The problem of homelessness must be solved quickly.www.21-cn-jy.com
解析：D 推理判断题。通读第四段可知，Leilani Farha认为无家可归是一个生死攸关的问题，接着她进一步说明：无家可归的人的死亡率是那些有生活居所的人的死亡率的二至十倍之高。Leilani Farha意在说明无家可归是一个亟须解决的问题。
4．What may be UN's attitude to homelessness?
A．Impatient. B．Relaxed.
C．Surprised. D．Worried.
解析：D 观点态度题。通读文章可知，联合国报告表明全世界无家可归的人数上升了不少，再结合联合国建议各国政府尽快解决这一问题和文中的联合国官员对待这一问题的态度可以推知，无家可归的问题令人担忧。

When I told my wife about my plan to take part in the 1994 Marathon des Sables, she thought I was crazy. The race is so dangerous that you have to sign a form to say where you want your body to be sent in case you die. I tried to persuade her, saying, “The worst that may happen is that I get a bit sunburned (晒黑的)．”
When I arrived in Morocco, I discovered the desert. It was so wonderful. I was bewitched. However, things went wrong on the fourth day. When we set out that morning, there was already quite a bit of wind. Suddenly, a very strong sandstorm began. I was blinded and I couldn't breathe. I understood for the first time how powerful a sandstorm could be. I had to keep moving to keep myself from getting buried. Finally, I arrived at a safer place, waiting for the storm to end.21世纪教育网版权所有
It lasted for eight hours. When the wind died down, it was dark. So I slept on the dunes (沙丘). What I couldn't have imagined was how greatly that storm would change everything around me. I woke up very early the next day. I had a compass (指南针) and a map, so I thought I could find my way back perfectly well. I wasn't worried because I was sure that sooner or later I would meet someone. That was my plan, but unfortunately it didn't work out.www.21-cn-jy.com
After running for about four hours, I climbed up a dune and still couldn't see anything. That's when I knew I had a big problem. When I realized I was lost, the first thing I did was to urinate (小便) in my spare water bottle. I remembered my grandfather telling me how, during the war, he and his soldiers had drunk their own urine when their water ran out. I wasn't worried because I was sure the organizers would find me soon. As I expected, they found me at last.21教育名师原创作品

Have you ever wondered how the earliest human beings kept track of time? Scientists believe, historically, humans have relied on the movement of the sun across the sky to track time. The ancient Egyptians built tall obelisks (方尖碑) that would cast shadows to help divide the day into sections. These obelisks worked in much the same way as sundials (日晷), which were a popular means of timekeeping long ago. Of course, sundials didn't help much at night or on cloudy days. To help keep time when it wasn't sunny, ancient people also learned to track the movement of the planets and constellations (星座) after dark.
Other devices were developed over time, including hourglasses and water clocks. These devices relied upon the time it would take a particular substance (物质), such as sand or water, to move from one part of a container to another. Rather than clocks, though, these devices were more like timers.
How did people long ago set up a meeting at a certain time in the future? Some historians believe many people relied upon a technique as simple as pointing to an area of the sky. When the sun reached that point, that was when they would meet the next day.
Of course, humans, being the clever creatures we are, relied upon a variety of natural solutions to the problem of timekeeping. For example, many people simply trained their bodies to wake up at the first light of dawn. Others may have relied upon animals, such as roosters, as alarm clocks. If people had to be up before dawn, they might have relied upon the full bladder method. They could wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

American researchers are making final plans to send a spaceship into space for a possible meeting with an asteroid (小行星). The spaceship is called OSIRIS-Rex. It is six meters long and shaped like a man's bow tie (蝶形领结). The asteroid is called Bennu. It is larger than the Empire State Building in New York City. Bennu weighs about 60 million tons and is traveling at a speed of more than 100,000 kilometers an hour.
The huge space rock is getting closer to Earth. It comes as close as 500,000 kilometers to the planet every six years. Researchers want to take a close look at Bennu because it is considered one of the most dangerous asteroids in our solar system. The American space agency, NASA, will start its research next month. The plan is to put OSIRIS-Rex in orbit (轨道) around Bennu in about two years.
The spacecraft will not land on Bennu, but will make contact (接触) with the asteroid for about five seconds. At that time, a part of the spacecraft will gather about 60 grams of material from Bennu's surface. All of that material will return to the earth inside something called SRC. It is expected to land in the Utah desert in September of 2023.21·世纪*教育网
Scientists want to learn as much as possible about Bennu because of the danger it could cause to our planet. The asteroid “has a quite high possibility of negatively influencing the Earth” in less than 200 years, according to a NASA statement.
Another thing that makes Bennu dangerous is its path around the solar system. That path is changing because of something called the Yarkovsky effect. The Yarkovsky effect is what happens when a cold piece of rock gets close enough to the sun to get heated. Scientists want to know how that warmth changes the orbit of asteroids and other space objects.21教育网

Making it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee (a spelling competition) is an amazing achievement for any kid, but for 11-year-old Neil Maes, being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely.【版权所有：21教育】
After receiving cochlear implants (人工耳蜗) in both ears as a baby, he had to train his brain to understand spoken words. It took countless hours of speech therapy (疗法)．
“We didn't even know that he'd be able to talk，” said his mother, Christy Maes.21·cn·jy·com
Now the soft-spoken kid from Belton, South Carolina is officially one of the nation's top young spellers. He earned the right to take the stage in the final rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Neil's parents have always given him a tip, coaching him to always ask the pronouncer for the meaning of a word, so that he can be sure he heard it correctly. Most contestants do this anyway.
“He's able to spell very difficult words. You tell him, ‘Spell this word，’ and he's able to actually imagine what that sounds like in his head and spell the word. It's actually quite impressive，” said Dr. Michael Hoa, who performed Neil's cochlear implantation. “There's a lot that goes into training your brain to do that.”
Neil's parents didn't know he was taking part in a spelling bee with his third-grade class until he came home and told them he had won. He made it all the way to his regional (地区的) bee that year, finishing second. Now a naturally shy fifth-grader, Neil is already worn out from the busy bee-week schedule, but he seems happy.
“Our main hope out of all of this was to encourage people that are going to be facing what we had to face，” Christy said.21教育网
But Neil said coming to the bee had motivated (激发) him to study even harder, so he can return next year.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
“It's just fun and I want to do it again，” Neil said.
【文章大意】 本文是一则新闻报道。文章介绍了一名失聪儿童参加拼字比赛的故事。
5．What makes it difficult for Neil to enter the competition?
A．He is naturally shy.
B．He is unable to talk.
C．He has a hearing disability.
D．He is undergoing medical treatment.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的for 11-year-old Neil Maes, being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely可知，由于Neil天生失聪，因此参加拼字比赛对他来说显得尤其艰难。
6．What does the underlined word “it” (in Para. 5) refer to?
A．The tip from Neil's parents.
B．The coach's pronunciation.
C．The meaning.
D．The word.
解析：D 篇章结构题。根据上文内容可知，Neil是一名有听力障碍的孩子，因此在参加比赛时，父母让他每次都请求考官给出单词的定义，这样便于Neil核实自己是否听准了所要拼写的单词。
7．What did Michael think of Neil?
A．He's amazing.
B．He's very lucky.
C．He should study harder.
D．He should use his imagination.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据Michael医生在第六段中说的he's able to actually imagine what that sounds like in his head and spell the word. It's actually quite impressive和There's a lot that goes into training your brain to do that可知，他认为Neil非常了不起。www-2-1-cnjy-com
8．What's the best title for the text?
A．Hard training will finally pay off.
B．We can do more for disabled children.
C．Spelling bees are becoming more popular.
D．Deaf 11-year-old competes in National Spelling Bee.

Your math teacher wears clothes made in 1985 and always mispronounces your name. Your English teacher loves to start classes with quick quizzes. It can be hard to think of these givers of grades as real people. But they eat pizza, watch movies and enjoy sports on weekends, just like you. So how can you get along well with your teachers?
You can do lots of things to develop a good relationship with your teacher. First, do the obvious things: Show up in class on time with all tasks completed. Stay focused, be respectful and ask questions. Second, show an interest in the subject. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects, or they wouldn't have decided to teach them! Show the teacher that you care about the subject－even if you're not a math talent or fluent in French－and send the message that you are a hard-working student.
You can also schedule a private meeting in a teacher's free time. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, ask for information about a career (职业) in the subject or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed when only facing you than when teaching in front of the whole class.
What if you just don't like the teacher? When it comes to working with teachers, one's characteristics can come into play just as they can in any other relationships. People just naturally get along better with some people than with others; it's impossible to like everyone all the time. Learning to work with people you don't like is a good interpersonal (人际的) skill to have in life, no matter what your goals are.
Teachers are there for more than just homework; they know about more than their subject matters. They can help you learn how to behave as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you'll always remember－and who might change your life forever.【版权所有：21教育】

Fay Weldon
British novelist

Michael Morpurgo
British children's book writer
I had problems some years ago sitting at a desk, because I got pains in my shoulder, so I decided to write in bed. Now, when I have a story in my head I go to bed with a small notebook and fill it up. I keep my manuscripts (原稿) in the fridge just in case the house burns down.21cnjy.com
John Mortimer
British novelist
I write in a room that used to be the garage (车库). Now it's full of books and photographs, I write with a soft red pen on a notebook. Each page is almost exactly 300 words long.2·1·c·n·j·y
Simon Armitage
British poet and novelist
I used to be more nocturnal (夜间活动的), but since my daughter was born I try to keep more traditional hours. I have an office just outside the house above the garage where I keep my books and my treasures. I listen to music when I'm writing. I have no love for my computer, although when it's working we are great friends.
Marina Lewycka
Ukrainian novelist
I write in bed, partly because it's the most comfortable and private place and partly because I like to write either at the beginning or the end of the day. I drink an amount of tea and I work on a laptop.

Based on a true story, the novel Safe as Houses by Eric Walters is an amazing book. It is about a 13-year-old girl named Elizabeth Hardy who babysits the McBride children David and Suzie. One rainy, stormy evening they walk home from school. When they arrive home, water floods (淹没) the backyard, cuts the power and floods roads, which stops Mr. and Mrs. McBride from coming home. Soon the flooding begins to invade the McBrides' home and Elizabeth, David, Suzie and their dog Daisy try very hard to escape and survive the flood.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
My favorite character is David because I find him very funny and brave, and although he can be stubborn and rude at times, he is still a nice and friendly person. As much as I want to be like David I could never be like him. At least, I don't think I could ever do something as brave as he does.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
I think Eric Walters does a great job in describing the characters and telling the story. I really feel like this all just happened in front of my eyes. Ever since I started reading Safe as Houses I never wanted to put the book down, and considering I was not a big fan of reading that did not happen very often. Safe as Houses changed my opinion in regard to reading and now I enjoy reading very much.
Eric Walters' writing career (生涯) all started in 1993 when Eric was teaching a grade 5 class. His students were not good readers and did not like reading, so Eric created a book called Stand Your Ground for his students and used some of the students' names to create the story.

Will Hodson, a primary-school teacher in London, was reading a superhero book to his students one day when a thought struck him. “We were talking about how we can all do something heroic every day－open a door for someone, say something nice to someone，” he recalled. “I decided not to use the day's lesson plans and asked the five-year-olds to think about, ‘What are we all good at？’”
Hodson, 39, was good at cycling, and he ended up taking his lesson to an extreme: After saving up for two years, he left his job and set off on a five-year ride across seven continents (洲) to raise money for charity, including for Parkinson's disease, which his father has. Calling himself Super Cycling Man, he tries to visit at least one school per country, to spread the message that “we can all be heroes.”
Starting last May, Hodson has hit 14 countries in Europe. On the road, strangers have acted heroically－Turkish gas station attendants sheltered him from the snow, and people in Serbia made a huge pizza for him.21*cnjy*com
So far, he has raised about $19,000 of the $140,000 he hopes to raise. Antarctica, the most expensive continent to visit, is last on his list, after Asia, Australia, the Americas and Africa.
The hardest part of the trip has been “just keeping my parents at manageable stress (压力) levels. You see so much bad news in the world, but I see a very different picture－people inviting me to their houses, people pouring me drinks on the street at night.”
Along with the superhero message, Hodson hopes to show people that “life's pretty good on two wheels”－particularly in places where cycling is less popular. Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, with its shortage of bike lanes (自行车道) and its crazy drivers, “is the toughest (最艰难的) city I've seen for cyclists, but even there, young people have been receptive.”
“The youth don't want to necessarily have a big pot belly (大肚子) and drive around in a car.”
【文章大意】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了一名英国教师辞职后骑行世界的故事。

10．Hodson's cycling around the world ________.
A．is a charity ride
B．is intended for his father
C．will be finished in two years
D．began without any preparation

Canada is home to many mountains, which are found in every province. The highest mountain is Mount Logan in the Yukon, and many other mountains of the Canadian Rockies reach high into the blue skies.
The Rocky Mountains begin in British Columbia and snake (蜿蜒) nearly 3,000 miles to their smaller low hills in New Mexico. Many of the mountains sit within state and national parks. A large number of popular tourist attractions are among the longest of all Canadian mountains. Many people spend entire vacations seeing the Rockies. Banff National Park in Alberta is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Home to Lake Louise, the national park is on the top of many people's dream vacations. Several of Canada's top ski places are on the peaks (山顶) of the Canadian Rockies.
While the Appalachian Mountains are mainly known as a US mountain range (山脉), they don't end once they hit the Canadian border. While not the longest of the Canadian mountain ranges, the Appalachians snake nearly 2,000 miles from the Atlantic coast of Canada to Alabama. The things to do in this region are as various as the provinces themselves. Whether you're looking to experience the culture or the scenery, you'll have ample chances to experience what makes Canada such an amazing place to explore.
Running along the British Columbia-Yukon Territory, the Pelly Mountains set the stage for adventures. Several Yukon-based shops that sell equipment for outdoor activities bring adventurers to the Pelly Mountains for vacations. On these trips, you'll find adventures that are not easy to find in the city. One day, you could float down a mountain river and then hike a mountain path.

As an adult, I like nothing better than to sit on the beach reading. If I have a satisfying reading time on the beach, I will be happy for many days. However, I'm sad to say it isn't really a thing for children. Most children would rather play in the waves or play with sand. But the truth is that even when children are on vacation, they need reading time that we, adults, look forward to. The method is getting them to sit for 5 or 10 minutes to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
Books can probably get wet or filled with sand, They are then pretty much ruined. Some book chapters (章节) may be a little long. Your children may be willing to sit for 10 minutes. However, they may be annoyed at reading if it takes longer than 10 minutes. And if your children are similar to my daughter, they are likely to love reading on the beach.
Every time I go to the beach with my daughter, I will bring a magazine for her. Generally, magazines are not too heavy. They can also be thrown away if they get wet. Besides, they provide just the right amount of reading when my daughter is ready to sit under the sun umbrella. Literary (文学的) magazines like Cricket, Spider and Ladybug will allow your children to read wonderful fiction. Discovery magazines like Click, Dig, and Faces have articles on all sorts of topics that will excite and interest your children. And like the short stories in the literary magazines, these articles have the right length (长度) for reading on the beach.
So don't leave magazines behind when you pack your bags! Put a magazine or two in the pocket of the bag and when your children need a few minutes to relax, pull it out and get them to sit for 10 minutes or so.

It might be easy to imagine that the more crowded a bird flock (群) becomes, the slower the birds fly. But it has been proven that the bigger a bird flock becomes, the faster the birds will fly. The discovery was made by scientists from Sweden's Lund University. They took a look at the flying speed of birds in an effort to find what influenced how fast they would fly.21cnjy.com
Most of the findings didn't surprise the researchers. A bird's weight and its wing shape, wind speed and direction, and the purpose of the flight all indeed influenced its flying speed. But the scientists found that the size of the flock had a strong effect on the flying speed, which had not been expected. The scientist Anders Hedenstr?m expressed surprise at the discovery as it has usually been ignored in studies on birds.21教育网
Anders Hedenstr?m and his partner Susanne Akesson collected their data on Sweden's ?land Island. There they studied birds' physical characteristics (特征), counted flock populations, and recorded their speeds during flying. To know the birds' speed while flying, they used a tool that can also gauge important characteristics of wind, including speed and direction. They were able to measure the speed of different kinds of large flocks. The researchers' results showed that bigger flocks fly faster no matter what kind of bird species they belong to. Why that's the case is the next question they hope to answer.2-1-c-n-j-y
The researchers also said that large flocks are made up of larger-sized birds, which move at faster speeds than smaller birds. In a large flock, it is easier to take advantage of the turbulence (湍流) that occurs behind other birds, especially when flying in formation (队形), like geese and other birds do. Using the turbulence makes it easier to maintain higher speed.
【文章大意】 原本人们认为鸟群的数目越大，就会飞的越慢，而最新的研究却得出了完全相反的结果。这是为什么呢？
1．What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A．The bigger the bird flock is, the faster the birds fly.
B．The bigger the bird flock is, the slower the birds fly.
C．What affects birds' flying speed didn't interest people.
D．There was no further progress in studying birds' flying speed.
解析：A 段落大意题。根据第一段的内容可知，最新的研究表明：并非鸟群的数目越大，飞行速度越慢，而是恰好相反。21教育名师原创作品
2．What does the underlined word “gauge” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Measure. B．Affect.
C．Change. D．Control.
解析：A 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的They were able to measure the speed of different kinds of large flocks.可知，gauge意为“测量”。21·cn·jy·com
3．What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A．Birds are natural-born flyers.
B．Bigger birds fly slower than smaller ones.
C．Turbulence helps birds maintain higher speed.
D．The goose is the slowest flying bird in the world.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，鸟类可以利用大气湍流维持飞行速度。
