Suppose someone asks you to paint a picture. “All right,” you think. “No problem. I can fill the paper pretty easily.” But what if the picture you are asked to paint is three stories high, two city blocks long, and one block wide? In other words, a total of 17,000 square feet! Most people would be overwhelmed by the request. But not Diego Rivera.
Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was one of modern Mexico’s most famous painters. When he was asked to paint this huge picture, he knew he could do it. During his life, Rivera painted 124 frescos that showed Mexican life, history, and social problems. A fresco is a painting on wet plaster (灰泥).
Rivera had to plan ahead and drew simply about what he planned to paint. Then Rivera’s assistants would put all but the final layer (层) of plaster on the wall. Next, they used sharp tools to dig the outline of Rivera’s quickly-made drawing into the plaster. Then, they made a mixture of lime (石灰) and sand and spread this over the outline in a thin layer. As soon as this layer was firm — but not dry — Rivera began to paint. Every morning, his paints had to be freshly mixed. Rivera would paint as long as there was daylight. He refused to paint under man-made light since it would change how the colors looked.
Sometimes, Rivera would say that what he had painted that day was not good enough. Then he would insist that all the plaster be cut off so he could start again! It took Rivera years to finish, but this fresco is thought to be one of the greatest in the world. The man himself is considered to be the greatest Mexican artist of the twentieth century.
24. What would most people think about the request of painting the huge picture?
A. It is possible.??????????? B. It is pretty easy.
C. It is interesting.???????? D. It is too difficult.
25. The third paragraph is about _____.
A. how Rivera mixed different paints
B. how Rivera chose his assistants
C. how Rivera did his painting
D. how Rivera became famous
26. What can we learn about Diego Rivera?
A. He wanted everything to be perfect.
B. He liked using light in his paintings.
C. He preferred quickly-made drawings.
D. He was good at making full use of his time.
C
The American screen has long been a smoky place. But cigarettes are more common in movies today than at any other time in the last 50 years. According to a survey by the University of California, San Francisco, 75% of all Hollywood films released between 1999 and 2006 showed tobacco (烟草) use.
Sadly, audiences — especially kids — are taking notice. Two recent studies show that among children as young as 10, those who always see smoking in the movies are up to 2.7 times more likely than others to pick up the habit. Kids from non-smoking homes are hit the hardest. This could be because they don’t live with the dirty ashtrays (烟灰缸) that make real-world smoking a lot less attractive than the cleaned-up movie version.
“Seeing smoking on-screen makes it look normal,” says Jono Polansky, who works with a project called Smoke Free Movies. “It says, ‘If you want to be an adult, you’ll smoke,’” Polansky told TFK (Time for Kids). Before you go to the movies, check out smokefreemovies.ucsf.edu for an updated list of which movies show smoking.
More groups than ever are pushing to get the smokes off of the screen. “Some movies show kids up to 14 incidents of smoking per hour,” says Barry Bloom, head of the Harvard School of Public Health. “We’re in the business of preventing disease, and cigarettes are the Number 1 preventable cause.”
Pressure (压力) is growing to make movies a non-smoking zone. A dozen health groups, including the American Medical Association, are calling for a reduction of smoking in movies and on TV. Forty-one state attorneys general (州总检察长) have agreed to add an anti-tobacco public service ad at the beginning of any DVD that includes smoking.
Like former smokers, movie studios may realize that getting out of the habit is not just a lot healthier, but also a lot smarter.
27. The underlined part “the habit” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. smoking?????????????????? ?????? B. studying
C. taking notice??????????????????? D. seeing a movie
28. Jono Polansky probably advises kids to _____.
A. act like an adult????????
B. go to the movies
C. see smoke-free movies
D. work for Smoke Free Movies
29. The move to make movies a non-smoking zone _____.
A. is impossible to succeed
B. is under a lot of pressure
C. has proved to be a failure
D. has received official support
30. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Movies are becoming less and less attractive
B. Kids should see fewer and fewer movies
C. Movies may be bad for kids’ health
D. Smoking is harmful to kids’ health
D
Newborns begin to develop language skills long before they begin speaking. And, compared to adults, they develop these skills more quickly. People have a hard time learning new languages as they grow older, but babies have the ability to learn any language easily.
For a long time, scientists have tried to explain how such young children can learn the complicated (复杂的) grammatical rules and sounds of a language. Now, researchers are getting a better idea of what’s happening in the brains of the tiniest language learners. This new information might help kids with learning problems as well as adults who want to learn new languages. It might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate like people do.
Most babies go “ma ma” by 6 months of age, and most children speak in full sentences by age 3. For many years, scientists have wondered how the brains of young children figure out how to communicate using language. With help from new technologies, scientists are now finding that babies begin life with the ability to learn any language. They get into contact (接触) with other people, listen to what they say and watch their movements very closely. That is why they quickly master the languages they hear most often.
Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in the world. Starting at around 6 months old a baby’s brain focuses on (集中于) the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding only to the sounds of the language they hear the most.
In a similar way older babies start recognizing the patterns that make up the rules of their native language. For example, English children who are about 18 months old start to figure out that words ending in “-ing” or “-ed” are usually verbs, and that verbs are action words.?
31. Which of the following opinions does the author agree with?
A. Babies are really good language learners.
B. Adults should learn languages like babies.
C. It’s better to learn a new language at an early age.
D. Babies should be trained to improve language skills.
32. The new research in the second paragraph can be helpful in _____.
A. finding successful language learners
B. teaching kids with learning problems
C. designing human-shaped computers
D. improving babies’ language ability
33. The researchers found out that babies learn a language mainly by _____.
A. repeating the words of other people?
B. remembering the full sentences they hear
C. hearing and closely watching others speak
D. figuring out the meaning of different sounds
34. In the last two paragraphs, the author explains _____.
A. why babies pay more attention to sounds
B. how babies respond to what they hear most often
C. why verbs in a language attract the most attention of a baby
D. how babies master the grammatical rules of their native language
35. The purpose of the text is to _____.
A. discuss ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B. educate?????
C. inform???????????????????? ?????? D. entertain

Tips for memorizing poems
If your teacher wants you to recite a long poem, you can learn it by dividing it into different parts. Here are a few tips for memorizing the poem.
☆ The first step is to start learning it. Begin by reading the poem line by line at least five times. ?36 ?If you find some word which you do not know, look it up in the dictionary.
☆ ?37 ?That’s because the lyrics have a tune (曲调) to them. Though you do not have to set the poem to a tune, reading it more than once will help you in understanding its rhythm (韵律). Here, you will also understand the areas where you have to pause and the exact pronunciation.
☆ Then close the book and try to recall the poem. ?38 ?However, you do not have to worry if you are not able to recall anything.
☆ The next step is the actual memorization process (过程). Break the poem into several parts and then repeat each one of them line by line. After you do this many times, try to recite the line without looking into the book. ?39 ?
☆ Once you have memorized the poem, keep on practicing till you are able to recite the poem fluently. ?40 ?
Memorizing a poem is not at all difficult if you put your mind and heart into it.
A. Let the words of the poem do the work.
B. Most of us find it easy to memorize a song.
C. A poem will live or die depending on how it is read.
D. Try to understand each and every word of the poem.
E. Repeat this process till you can repeat the whole poem by heart.
F. You may remember some words, lines, or may be nothing at all.
G. Practicing in front of your family, friends, or teacher can also be helpful.

My favorite English song
My favorite English song is?I Believe I Can Fly, which was written and sung by R. Kelly, a well-known American black singer and song writer. The first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it. So I listened to it many times and tried to sing it out loud to the music.
I like the song because the lyrics give me strength and hope. My favorite part is “I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every night and day. Spread my wings and fly away.” The song reminds me to follow my dream and never give up easily. I believe I can make my dream come true if I try my best.

The Black Country refers to (指) an area of England in the west Midlands?—?in the centre of England. It is to the north and west of the city of?Birmingham, but, very importantly, does not include?Birmingham. The Black Country includes the boroughs (自治城镇) of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and the City of Wolverhampton, with the town of Dudley being referred to as the Black Country’s capital. The population of the area is about 1.2 million people.
So, why is it called the?Black Country? In the 19th century, the area was heavily industrialised. The iron and steel factories all used local coal to fire their furnaces (熔炉). And this produced a lot of black smoke. People also say that the name came from all the black coal that appeared on the surface of the ground. In fact, there was so much coal that the soil (土壤) looked black.
The Black Country is mostly famous for its association (联系) with the Industrial Revolution (between the 18th and 19th centuries). The?Black Country?Living?Museum?in Dudley recreates life in the?Black Country?in the early 20th century, and is a popular tourist attraction. The writer JRR Tolkien is also associated with the area, and his parents were from?Birmingham. It is said that the?land?of?Mordor?from?The Lord of the Rings?novels is based on the heavily industrialised?Black Country?area. In “Elvish” language “Mor-Dor” means “Dark?Land” and in the novels it is sometimes referred to as “The Black Country”.

Pierre and Marie Lucien lived in?Florida?in a small two-bedroom apartment. Their monthly rent (房租) was $650.?Pierre?was a computer programmer and Marie was a homemaker. They dreamed about having their own home, but Marie wanted to stay at home with the children when they were small. When their son entered first grade, Marie got a job as a school bus driver. They were finally able to save money and in two years, they had $12,000 in?the bank.
They wanted a home in a town with good schools for their children and one that was close to their jobs. They spoke to a real estate agent (房地产经纪人) and she suggested that their first step was to get?a mortgage. By doing this, they would know how much they could afford to spend on a house. So, they spoke to six banks about mortgages. They chose the bank with the best mortgage plan. The bank checked their jobs and two weeks later gave them a mortgage of up to $125,000.
The real estate agent showed the Luciens over thirty houses. They finally found a home that they liked. It was $120,000. They offered the sellers $115,000, and they agreed on $117,000.

The house had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living room. It didn’t have a dining room, but it had a large eat-in kitchen. There were a few problems, too. It was on a busy street and it didn’t have a garage.
Finally, the Luciens paid $7,000 for a down payment (首付). They decided on a 30-year mortgage on the $110,000. On the day of the closing, Pierre and Marie, the real estate agent and the owners of the house were all present. The closing only took an hour.

My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practiced about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假手).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band?—?not because it was a high school band and I’m only in seventh grade, but probably because my body is different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my mp3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself,?OK, I can get through today.
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are to a measure. I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
32. In what way is Sara different from other kids?
A. There’s something wrong with her body.
B. She knows how to play many instruments.
C. She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
D. She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
33. When invited to join the marching band, Sara _____.
A. said no at first
B. had no idea what to do
C. followed the instructor’s advice
D. believed that she would make it
34. How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band?
A. Bored.??????? ????????????????????
B. Relaxed.?
C. Successful.???????? ????????????
D. Afraid.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A high school band???
B. A young drummer
C. The music of me?????????????

Five tips for dealing with your boss!
Do you have the best boss in the world? Or the worst? Either way, you need to know how to deal with him / her if you want to be happy and successful at work. Here are our top tips.
Ask
There’s a saying in English:?“If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.”?Do you want a raise or a holiday???36??Yes, sometimes it’s scary (令人害怕的), but it’ll be easier if you plan what you’re going to say first.
?37?
Work can be stressful (有压力的). But always remember to keep your cool when dealing with your boss. If you stay calm, you’ll earn their respect (尊重). If you’re unhappy about something, wait until you’ve calmed down before speaking to him or her.
Get it in writing
If your boss promises you something (like a raise or a holiday), ask for it in writing. That way you’ll have a paper trail.??38?
Understand your boss
Every boss has a different management style. Is yours a micro-manager or are they hands-off? Are they organised or disorganised???39??Understand their style so you can decide how best to work with them.
Get along well with your boss
You see your boss a lot. Almost as much as you see your family! So try to stay on good terms with him or her.??40?
A. Do what you say you’ll do
B. Learn to control your feelings
C. Are they a good or bad communicator?
D. You won’t get it if you don’t ask your boss.
E. You should tell your boss when you’ve made a mistake.
F. If they suddenly “forget” what they said, you may take it out.
G. If the relationship breaks down, your job will be even more stressful.

A
The Hash House Harriers is an unusual international running and social club. Runs are organized, which are followed by a trip to a public house afterwards for a social get-together. The run is a fun and?exhilarating?event. A group of people known as the “hares”?lay a trail (a long line of marks). They often use flour (面粉) or toilet paper to mark the trail. The?“hounds”?are the runners. They must follow the trail and try to get to the end. Sounds easy? It can be, but it can also be difficult as the hares may also lay a false trail. Sometimes the hares leave a few minutes before the hounds and the hounds’ task is to get hold of the hares before they lay the trail.
There are now more than 1,500 Hash House Harrier groups, with one in most of the major cities around the world. Hashing began in?Kuala Lumpur?(Malaysia), in 1938. A group of men from the?UK, Cecil Lee,?Frederick?“Horse” Thomson, Ronald “Torch” Bennett, and Albert Stephen Ignatius Gispert would meet after work on Monday evenings to run. They often followed paper trails through the outskirts of?Kuala Lumpur. After the run, the tired runners would often go to a public house for a few drinks.
Later, they put their society on the official list. Gispert suggested the name “Hash House Harriers”. The name came from the Selangor Club Annex where they had lived. It was known locally as the Hash House, because of its boring, unimaginative food. The word “hash” means many different things mixed together without any order.
There are many traditions involved with hashing. They include no pointing with fingers?—?you have to use your elbows (肘子), no using real names?—?you have to use nicknames (绰号), and no using recently-bought shoes. The traditional symbol of hashing is the outline of a foot with the words “On-On” written on it, which is what hashers shout when they have found the trail.
1. What does the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Important. ?????????????
B. Exciting. ?
C. Common. ???????
D. Serious.
2. What is the task during the hashing??
A. The hares follow a false trail.?
B. The hounds mark the trail.?
C. The hounds catch the hares.?
D. The hares find the public house.
3. What do we learn about the creators of hashing?
A. They worked in a public house.
B. They were British men in?Malaysia.
C. They often ran on weekend evenings.
D. They were leading 1,500 hashing groups.
4. What was the club named after?
A. A kind of food.
B. A type of sport.
C. A man.
D. A place.?
5. What should you do to follow the hashing traditions?
A. Wear old shoes.
B. Use fingers to point.
C. Give hashers new nicknames.
D. Write “On-On” on your shoes.

Three divers enter a hole leading to a water-filled cave on?Mexico’s?Yucatan?Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a person’s head). Other bones lay nearby.
The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the find. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull belonged to someone who lived in the last ice age. At the ice age’s height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.
“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea levels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering the remains.
Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at its watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.
Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that she’s a direct ancestor (祖先) of present-day Native Americans. Naia’s DNA also matches with people native to Siberia, a part of?Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in?Alaska?during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the?Americas. And Naia proves how far south they went. (Mexico?is a country to the south of the?US.)
In 2014 the scientists decided to bring up Naia’s skull from the cave to protect it from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.
6. What do we learn about the skull?
A. It lay under a basketball court.?
B. It was discovered by three scientists.
C. It was left alone in the cave.
D. It drew the government’s attention.
7. When did Naia probably live?
A. Before the last ice age ended.
B. Before the last ice age started.
C. After the last ice age ended.
D. At the beginning of the last ice age.
8. Why was the skull studied in the cave for several years?
A. It was against the law to take it out.
B. The temperature was fine in there.
C. Scientists tried to protect it.
D. It would help scientists study the cave.
9. Who were Naia’s distant ancestors?
A. Early humans in?Greece.
B. Early humans in?Siberia.
C. Early humans in?Alaska.
D. Early humans in?Mexico.
10. What is the text mainly about?
A. The real size of a human skull.
B. A famous Mexican archaeologist.
C. An important archaeological find.
D. The great influence of ice ages.
