Helping Howard to a first-floor window, Fern told him to clinb out , then ran to her daughter.

Still inside, King appeared at pearl’s window, making squeaking(短促尖叫)sounds. When running toward pearl’s bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadn’t yet escaped. She made her way back through the smoke and flames, following king’s sound to where Howard lay semiconscious (半昏迷)on the floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only after both were safe.

As day dawned, the carlsons saw that king’s paws were badly burnt, and his entire body was burnt, too. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it burnt his throat, making it impossible for him to bark(叫)normally.

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist .you will probably agree that knowing how to use a tool is important to a carpenter. Y ou will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist ,however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his

Passage two:

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man – the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer of laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery . On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash

dishes for his living ,or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

Passage two:

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds; what kind of impression am I making? do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person

behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing”the right thing”shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “you’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.”It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self0esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways . the better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

11. what does the author try to prove by citing”what kind of impression am I making?”(para.1)

B people’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions

12. according to the writer, self-awareness is ___ A. a good quality

13.when being praised, shy people feel that it is ______ B unreal

14. which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?_________

Passage Two:

Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Y our education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.

Y ou’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester .Y ou can choose to help a child with math, English, or both .Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors-he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Y ou can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service ...and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time .It looks good on your resume , too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.

11、What is the purpose of the talk? To interest students in a new community program.

12、What is the purpose of the program that the speaker describes? To offer tutorials to elementary school students.

13、What does Professor Dodge do? He advises students to participate in certain program.

Passage One:

Pubs are supposed to be the Englishman’s favorite meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends over a pint of beer and talk about football, or horse racing, or business.

Y ou may notice that the pub is the place for men, but not for women. Even now it is still not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to escort(护卫) and protect her. Perhaps that is partly why pubs depress me – they are intended mainly to provide for male interests ,which are often pretty narrow .I think this male-dominated atmosphere also reminds me of my life back at school, or in the army, neither of which is an experience I much want to relive.

However, I’m obviously in the minority. Most Englishmen have their local pubs, where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky ,tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid. Indeed, many men dream of retiring from their 9-5 jobs and buying a little country pub, where they imagine they’ll be the host of a seven-night-a-week party. This dream usually dies when cleaning up spilled beer at one o’clock in the morning.

Still, there’s pub for every type of map , from the city sophisticate to the rural primitive, and a man for every type of pub. And I must admit that ,for someone who doesn’t like them. I spent a lot of time in pubs of various kinds.

6、For what do Englishmen go to the pubs? They go to meet and talk with their friends over some beer.

7、What doesn’t the speaker like about the pubs? The male-dominated atmosphere.

8、What are many men dreaming of? Owning a pub and living like having a party every night.

9、Which of the following can be learned from the passage? The speaker was once an armyman.

10、What can you conclude from the passage? Different types of pubs in Britain cater to the taste of different types of men.

Passage Two :

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. Y ou will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. Y ou will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ides about how the world works.

The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

11、What makes a scientist according to the passage? The way he uses his tools.

12、“The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show the difference between scientists and ordinary people

13、A sound scientific theory should be one that . works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times

14、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate . that the investigations are important in science

15、What is the main idea of the passage? （此答案自选）

Passage One:

The dark smoke that comes out of stacks(大烟囱) or from a burning dump (垃圾) contains tiny bits of solid or liquid matter. The smoke also contains many gases, most of which cannot be seen. Altogether, they make up the serious problems of air pollution. In so many places it keeps us from seeing the sun, irritate(刺痛) our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us ill.

Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow” from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is a global problem. It can kill babies, older people and those who have respiratory(呼吸) disease. In 1952, four thousands people die in one week as a result of a serious air pollution breakout in London. In 1948 in a small town of Pennsylvania, 20 people died in a four – day period of air pollution. As often found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of lung disease, such as bronchitis and asthma. Of course, smoking and other factors help to cause these illnesses, too, but these causes have increased greatly during recent years as air pollution has become worse.

6、Which of the following is NOT true about the “black snow”incident? It happened there because air pollution in these countries was most serious.

7、Who can be killed by air pollution? Those who suffer from respiratory illnesses.

8、How many people died of air pollution in Pennsylvania in 1948? 20.

9、What are bronchitis and asthma? Lung disease.

10、According to the passage, air pollution increases people’s chance of getting ? A lung disease.

Passage Two:

Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.

Last Thursday Britain and France celebrate the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.

But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.

The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.

Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.

11. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is a mixture of love and hate.

12. The war in Iraq does to the relationship between France and Britain. both good and harm

13. The British are not so friendly to and the French are not so friendly to Germany America.

14. are more interested in having holidays in British people France

15. What does the last sentence mean? France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help

balance the relationship between them.

Passage Two:

It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite: they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Y oung people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Y oung people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.

Passage one:

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.

Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.

I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of learning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say.

And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

6. This passage is about why the writer likes Pisa.

7. The writer used to think Pisa the same as pizza.

8. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is 600 years old.

9. The Writer likes what the tower looks like.

10. The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because it’s imperfect.

Passage two:

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious: that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “you’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

11、What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?’’(Para. 1) .

People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.

12、According to the writer, self-awareness is . a good quality.

13、When being praised, shy people feel that it is . unreal.

14、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? . Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.

15、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people . should understand themselves in the right way Passage one:

The aim of students who came to school is to study. But to study requires a right way, or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways or studying.

The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good result.

In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one.

When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.

We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better.

Though there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

6、The passage tells us . to pay attention to the ways of studying.

7、The passage has taught us ways for studying. four
