Students at this school made cars with improved fuel efficiency (燃油效率) and other inventions, too. And now, the students are designing a washing machine for outer space. They hope it will be accepted by NASA or us. NASA asked for ideas through its HUNCH program, which is short for “High School United with NASA to Create Hardware”. Braham Area High School is one of the 100 schools in the program. The challenge is to come up with a good way to wash clothes on long-time space tasks, where air and water don’t mix and soap can’t be used. On shorter space tasks, astronauts simply throw away their dirty clothes. For longer tasks, a different solution is needed. The team has already built a system using a series of pumps (泵) and vacuum chambers (真空室), but NASA were afraid that it might not be durable (耐用的). The washing machine isn’t the only NASA project Brahma students are working on. They’re also designing and building a track system to hold equipment. NASA said it plans to use their system. They’re also designing an automated (自动化的) feeding system for space mice. NASA regularly takes mice into space as test subjects. “To get a kid to do something that they never thought they could do, that’s really great!” said Luke Becker, the school’s technology teacher. “There are kids who never planned to do anything in technology until they had these chances.” 65．The students in Braham Area High School are working on ________. ①electric cars      ②washing machines for outer space ③a track system    ④a feeding system A．①② B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①②③④ 66．What is the HUNCH program about?

(请用 20词以内回答) Passage15 Since the mid-1970s, Mike Reynolds, founder of Earthship Biotecture has had one goal to build green environmentally friendly houses. His designs have become better over the years but his new Earthships are still built with three goals: to be made from environmentally friendly materials, doesn’t it? However, for people who want to lead a green lifestyle, living in an Earthship has become a great green choice. Although the walls of Earthships can also be made of concrete (水泥), stone, cans and plastic bottles (轮胎) have become the normal material to use because they are easy to find and change to “bricks”. More than 2 million tyres appear in rubbish in the United States. In addition, rubber tires filled with earth weigh up to 150 kg each so they can support heavy weight. They also keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter, which means that people don’t have to keep air conditioners at 25.5 degrees and they don’t have to use air conditioners at all as their houses remain as cold as ice! Earthships put a stop to wasting water and electricity. They have special roofs (屋顶) that catch and store rainwater. Once this clean water has come out of showers, it becomes “grey water”, when they realize that it is used only in toilets, their disgust turns to amazement. By the time they learn that Earthships are powered completely by the wind, sun and other clean energy, their amazement has usually become one word: “wow”! Mike Reynolds hopes that in the future all houses will be built with sustainability (耐久性) in mind just like his Earthships are. As we all know time is running out to deal with environmental problems. Any creative designs such as the Earthships are a welcome change. The world needs more like-minded people to voice the world’s problems. 70．What can we know about Mr. Reynolds’ first Earthship homes? A．It’s difficult and expensive to build. B．It helps lead to a green lifestyle. C．It’s only a choice for wealthy people. D．It’s powered by coal, oil and natural gas. 71．Why have recycled tyres become the normal material to use? ①It can support heavy weight. ②It’s easy to find. ③It is as cold as ice. ④It keeps the house at a comfortable temperature. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④ D．②③④ 72．What does the underlined word “disgust” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Worry. B．Fear. C．Anger. D．Dislike. 73．What is your special way to help solve environmental problems? (Within 20 words) Passage16 ①Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many years later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits (好处) for the brain, in rats at least. ②“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important—not just good for your body, but for the mind during ageing,” says Martin of the University of Toronto, Canada. “In humans, it may put off the appearance of Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症) symptoms, possibly to the point of stopping them.” ③Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for six weeks. Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear. ④Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box in a different room , and a completely different box in a different room. ⑤The rats without a running wheel when they were young now froze the same period of time in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run when they were young froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings. ⑥“The results suggest the amount of exercise when we’re young, at least for rats, has influence on brain and health—in the form of better memories—when we’re older,” says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston, who has found that, in humans, exercise improves the growth of new brain cells (细胞). ⑦ . 74．Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A．Exercise when young can stop memories from losing when older in rats. B．Physical activity is important for physical health. C．Using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats’ growth. D．Physical activity can help human’s Alzheimer’s symptoms. 75．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Study. B．Animal. C．Rat. D．Exercise. 76．How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a study. D．By showing the process. 77．Write a sentence for Para. ⑦ ▲ (within 20 words) . Passage17 Every student should read one of the plays by William Shakespeare. It will be a chance to read some of the most amazing poetry(诗歌). But it will be hard. Shakespeare didn’t use language like us. Wiliam Shakespeare lived in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. The language at that time is known as Elizabethan English. Why is it so difficult to understand the plays of William Shakespeare? One problem is the meaning of the words. Though about 95% of Shakespeare’s words are still used in English today, a few of them now have different meanings. For example, the word “weird”. To us, it means strange. In Shakespeare’s day, it meant being able to see the future. Another example is “quick”. It now means fast, but 400 years ago it meant alive. While word meanings may be one problem, Shakespeare’s order of words is another problem. Words are usually put together in certain order in English. For example, we usually say, “John caught the ball.” But Shakespeare was as poet(诗人), and he did not have to keep language rules. He would sometimes use the form, “John the ball caught.” He did this to make the beats and sounds of each line of his poems come out a certain way. But any high school student can easily understand Shakespeare’s creative word order. The problem, it seems, must be something else. The biggest problem, perhaps, is understanding Shakespeare himself. He was, after all, a poet. Even great modern poets write things that readers might have trouble understanding. Students will always have trouble understanding the language of Shakespeare. But if they don’t give up, they will enjoy the greatest works written by the greatest of poets. 78．According to the passage, which of the following is an opinion instead of a fact? A．The word “quick” means fast today while it meant alive 400 years ago. B．It’s difficult for the readers to understand the great modern poets’ works. C．Shakespeare used different orders of words to make the lines sound natural. D．Nearly 95% of Shakespeare’s words are used today but some have different meanings. 79．Which of the following shows how the paragraphs are organized in this passage? A． B． C． D． 80．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? 81．This passage can probably be read in the _________ part of a magazine. A．Travel B．Literature C．Geography D．Business Passage18 One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown (王冠) maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it. “It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to wonder whether it was a real golden crown or not. “Is it made completely of gold?” he asked himself. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out what is true. “This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over. “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!” Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. Next, he put two pots (罐) into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl. “Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces (排出) less water than a crown made of gold and another metal (金属). This crown displaced ________, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man be is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison (监狱). 82．What’s the correct order of the following? ① Archimedes did an experiment. ② The crown maker was sent to prison. ③ King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. ④ Archimedes was asked to discover whether the crown is made of gold. A．③④①② B．③①④② C．①②③④ D．①③④② 83．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．no water or gold at all B．less water than gold of the same weight C．more water than gold of the same weight D．the same water as gold of the same weight 84．What does the underlined word “trick” mean? A．Believe in. B．Lie to. C．Agree with. D．Care about. 85．What do you think of Archimedes? (within 15 words) Passage19 Jack looked a little uncomfortable, but he lifted up his eyes and looked into Charles’s worried face and began, “APM is something that tastes sweet”. Jack could see Charles nodding his head and smiling widely. “In carefully measured amounts*, it can make a person prefer one kind of drink over another…” “Hey. Jack! ” Charles cried out. “That’s amazing! Just what we wanted! ” “I haven’t finished. Charles…” Charles apologized, still nodding his head, and Jack continued. “However, if we put too much APM into a product, people will want the product so much that it becomes really dangerous. It is harmful to people’s health. People will have a headache and their memory will get worse and worse.” For a moment, Charles stopped smiling. “So what you’re saying is: if we add too much APM to something, it’s going to make it dangerous? ” “That’s right.” “But, if the amounts are right, we can use APM safely. Right? ” “Well, yes, but…” “No problem then!” Charles laughed. “I’m sure it’ll be perfectly OK, Jack. I’ll make sure everyone understands.” “No, Charles,” Jack said, more impatiently this time. “Let me explain. I’ve been doing some thinking about this lately.” “You certainly have, Mr Clever!” said Charles. “We’re going to make millions of dollars on this one. Jack, Millions!” “Charles!” Jack raised his voice. “Let me explain more clearly. APM is dangerous!

She trained in basic nursing skills, like how to watch a patient for signs of illness and dress a wound. She assisted in operations and prepared medicine. She learned the value of good hospital organization and discovered the importance of cleanliness when caring for the sick. Her parents gradually softened* their opinions. Florence received a kind letter from her mother. She wrote words of encouragement to Flo, telling her to follow her dream. Her father decided to support his hard-working daughter despite her unusual choices. He provided her with money for living expenses. In 1853, Florence accepted a position as the superintendent at a women’s hospital in London. It was a small hospital with little money. Florence ran the hospital just as she and her sister helped their mother run Lea Hurst and Embley Park. She balanced the budget* and cut unimportant cost. She guided workers to make bed covers for the 27 patient beds out of old curtains. She bought new linens for the place with her own money and decorated with unwanted prints and furniture from home. She started a library of books for patients with donations* from her father’s collection. She asked workers to install pipes that would move hot water to each floor, so nurses wouldn’t have to pull heavy water up the stairs. Florence also came up with a system of hand bells that the patients at the hospital could use to get the nurses’ attention. Flo always worked hard to improve nursing care and conditions for the hospital’s patients and nurses. A year of real-world experience made Flo found that her true passion* was not only nursing, but training other women to be nurses. When offered the chance to become the superintendent of nurses at King’s College Hospital in London, she accepted the position. However, the war changed her plan. The British military joined in to defend* Turkey. Reports traveling back to London from the Crimean War described terrible hospital conditions and poor care for the sick and injured British soldiers there. With little medical care available, soldiers were dying from battle wounds, cold, hunger, and sickness. Some said more soldiers were dying in the British military hospital there than in the fighting areas. Florence read every report she could find about the military hospital in Scutari. Her new job at King’s College was waiting, but she couldn’t help feeling she could do more good overseas. Florence wrote a letter to her friend Elizabeth. In the letter, Florence asked Elizabeth if she thought her husband, Sidney, would allow Florence to lead a team of nurses to help at the British military hospital. Florence had the skills and the ambition to make a big change and do something no British woman had ever done before—but would she be allowed to help? （Adapted from Florance Nightingale by Kitson Jazynak） 90．At Kaiserswerth, Florence ________.

A boy ran up and tried to snatch her bag. The large woman simply turned around, caught the boy by his shirt, and shook him until his teeth rattled. After that, the woman asked, “Boy, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” “I’m sorry,” whispered the boy. “What did you want to do it for? Your face is dirty. Nobody at home to tell you to wash your face?” The boy shook his head. “Then,” the woman shouted, “it will get washed this evening. You are going to remember Mrs. Jones!” She pulled the frightened boy behind her and got to her door. “Are you taking me to the police?” The boy asked. “Not with that face! Have you been home to eat yet?” “There’s nobody at my house.” “Then we’ll eat,” said Mrs. Jones. “I believe you’re hungry, so you tried to steal.” “I wanted a pair of leather shoes,”said the boy. “Well, you didn’t have to snatch my bag to get things you want. Besides, there’s little money in it.” There was a long pause. After he washed his face and turned around, wondering what to do next, he saw the door was open. He could run, run, run! In the corner of the room, Mrs. Jones was heating some beans. She did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run, nor did she watch her bag which she left behind on the bed. But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the room, away from the bag, where he thought she could easily see him. “Do you need somebody to get milk or something?” The boy asked. “Unless you want,” said Mrs. Jones. As they ate, she didn’t ask about where he lived, or his family, or anything that would embarrass him.Instead, she said, “eat some more, boy!” When they finished eating, she got up. “Now here, take this ten dollars and buy your shoes. Next time, don’t snatch my bag, nor anybody else’s—shoes got in bad ways will burn your feet!” The boy really wanted to say something to Mrs. Jones.

Bryan was guarding Tara as closely as a shadow. Can I contain her for just two more minutes? Jordan passed the ball to Bryan, but he wasn’t confident enough to fake* out Tara by himself, so he kicked the ball hard up the field. All of the Ghosts were rushing forward. Tara got the ball finally. Only Bryan stood beside her. She moved to her left, then stepped over the ball with her right foot. That was one of Tara’s best fakes, but Bryan wasn’t fooled. With a quick move, Bryan took the ball and kicked it way up the field. The referee* blew his whistle. “Game over!” Jordan and the rest of the Raptors cheered loudly. Bryan stared at the ball as it rolled away. His sister stood beside him, eyes on the ground. “Good game, Tara,” Bryan said softly. “You won it for us. Great goal.” Jordan ran to Bryan excitedly. “We all won it. Everybody attacked. You made the perfect pass. I just knocked it into the net.” Bryan looked back at his sister. Jordan nodded. “She’ll get over it,” he said, referring to Tara. “You win some, you lose some. We all know that.” Tara looked angry. “You were pretty good,” she said coldly, slowly shaking her head. “Where did you learn that?” “Are you kidding?” Bryan stopped walking. “I’ve been chasing* you around ever since I learned to walk. All of the things I’ve learned came from you.” Tara forced* a smile. “You stopped all my moves in the last couple of minutes.” “I may have learned how to stop them,” Bryan said, “but I’m not very good at making those moves myself.” Tara clapped her brother on the shoulder.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a seriously injured Doberman dog in his arms and begging us to save his life, “Please help my poor pet, please, please!” The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The vet worked patiently and tirelessly for3 hours, stitching his skin back together again. However, that was the easy part. The dog had also broken many bones. Even if he could live for the next few days, we were sure he would never walk again. That day forever changed my life. I really wanted to do more to help the poor dog. With the guide of the vet, I became his helper. One of my jobs was to give that dog physical therapy every day.

As I saw more and more patients. I started forgetting this dog. 5 years later, on a usual morning, I walked into the clinic’s waiting room and called the name of the next patient. Suddenly a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner jumped up excitedly and ran towards me happily. I found myself pinned against the wall with this big dog standing on his legs, washing my face with lots of happy kisses! “Ms. Mraz, I beg your pardon for my pet’s extreme excitement, but I’m afraid he just can’t help showing his great love and thankful feelings for you!” The owner ran in the room and apologized.

That’s because I have a rarely seen disease that makes it hard for my brain to deal with the information what I see. Words swim on the page for me. I wanted to learn how to read but couldn’t. In primary school, I didn’t talk to any teachers or family about this. I was clever at hiding it. When I had to write anything down, I guessed, forming what I hoped were the right words. I became good at learning by heart. When I started secondary school, a student in class made me stand on a chair and read. It was terrible as a result I developed a bad stutter. I continued to fall through the net. The only thing I loved was practical biology. I wanted to be a doctor. Then I left school and joined the army. I decided to be a doctor and trained hard. But things were discovered when I did a course in prehospital emergency care. I passed all my practical exams, preparing for them by watching others. The problem was the written exam. I was so hopeless but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn’t read. He asked me to get back into education. I was 34. I made up my mind to attend the Open University (OU) to do a medical degree. It was back to basics on the course. I knew the letters and some words, but my vocabulary was small. I paid for a tutor, who worked with me every week, teaching me to understand words through pictures. It took me nine years to get that degree. Now, aged 47, I’m an ambassador for the OU, winning an award for receiving education so late in life. I teach prehospital emergency care to medical school students. I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had. I still struggle to read a menu if I’m not wearing my special glasses, but luckily there’s always someone around to lend me a hand.

It was my grandfather.     “It isn’t easy, is it, Billy?” he said softly, sitting down on the steps beside me.     “Grandpa,” I replied through my tears, “how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?”     “Goodbye is such a sad word,” he said. “Although we seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye, they all have one thing in common: sadness.”     Then he gently took my hand in his and took me to his favorite place in the garden, where a huge red rose bush* grew alone.     “What do you see here, Billy?” he asked.     I looked at the flowers, “I see something soft and beautiful, Grandpa.”     Kneeling, he pulled me close. “It isn’t just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It’s that special place in your heart that makes them so.”     I saw my grandfather’s tears. I had never seen him cry before.     “I planted these roses a long, long time ago. I put them into the ground the day my first son was born. That boy’s name was Billy, just like yours. I used to watch him pick roses for his mother. One day a terrible war came, and my son went away to fight for the country. Three months later a letter came. My son had died in a village in Italy. All I could think of was that the last thing I said to him in his life was goodbye.”     Grandpa slowly stood up. He said, “Don’t ever say goodbye, Billy. Don’t ever give in to the sadness and loneliness of that word. I want you to remember the happiness of those times when you first said hello to your friends. Take that special hello into your heart. When you and your friends must part, I want you to reach deep within yourself and bring back that first hello.”     A year and a half later, my grandfather became badly ill. When he returned from the hospital, the family members were summoned*. It was time for the family members to say their goodbyes.     When it came to my turn, I noted how tired he looked. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was slow and hard.     I took his hand as gently as he had once taken mine.     “Hello, Grandpa,” I said.

He was disappointed that Greg did poorly at school and didn’t allow him to play basketball anymore. Feeling upset, Greg left home and wanted to go away. Suddenly, it rained heavily. Greg entered an old apartment. There he met a homeless old man named Lemon Brown. As they talked, Greg learnt that Lemon was a singer before he met some hard times. Now he was hiding there to protect his treasure from the bad men in the town. “ ▲ ” Greg asked. “Actually, everyone gets a treasure.” Lemon Brown said. “You want to see mine?” “If you want to show me.” Greg replied. Lemon carefully took the rags away from his right leg, there was a piece of plastic. Then he took out some yellowed newspaper. “Here it is,” he said. Greg looked at the clippings in surprise. All of them were reviews of shows Lemon had been in when he was young. “I used to travel around and sing to make money for my family. When my son Jesse grew up to be a soldier. I had nothing to give him except these things that told him who I was, and where he came from.” “Then what happened?” Greg asked. “One time I went home and got a letter saying Jesse was killed in the war. The army sent back all the things Jesse used to carry around—those old clippings. That was my treasure, and when I give it to him, he treated it just like that, a treasure. Isn’t that something?” “I guess so,” Greg said. “But you really think that treasure of yours was worth fighting against the bad guys?” “As a boy, you’re sure to ask such a foolish question. What else can be more valuable than what a man can pass on to his son or daughter?” Lemon said as he put his treasure back in place. The rain stopped then, Greg decided to go home.

We didn’t do anything to hurt her and she didn’t know us. But that didn’t matter. She still didn’t like us. As new teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day. She came into our office and passed by us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners in the office. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Finally, we stopped trying to be friendly with her. Her friends had been fired from the school. We were chosen to be in their place and we have different nationalities. These were enough for her to have nothing to do with us. Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the box and that meant she was my secret pal. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly revealed who our secret pal was. I bought her a small potted plant and asked one of the Emiratis to write a little message on it. Then I sent it to her room secretly. She was so touched. The next day I sent a beautiful candle but I wrote the message in English. She needed to know her secret pal was a Westerner before the reveal day so that she was prepared. Then came the day of the reveal. We all gathered in the staff meeting room and everyone was excited. When you received your gift, you said something about your secret pal and passed the gift to him/her. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said, “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” I didn’t even need to say her name. Everyone knew exactly who I meant. She came forward with a huge warm and sweet smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and politely accepted my gift. This was a lovely experience but I wondered how it would pan out. Would she go back to avoiding eye contact with me and all other Westerners? Later that day, I passed by her. She was smiling and she told me she loved my gifts. One of my Western colleagues told me that she too was benefiting from this change in attitude. I reached out my hand in friendship hoping to be befriended and in return I have been met with love and friendship. Things happen for a reason. We must have faith in seeing the goodness in others, and it is there. We may just need to show extra love to receive the rewards. 127．Where can you find the reason why the woman didn’t like the author? A．In Paragraph 1. B．In Paragraph 2. C．In Paragraph 3.

They all rushed to the door to look. A man in a blue coat, with a gun on his back, was walking down the road toward the Smith farm. His face was hidden by a large pack on his back. Laughing and crying, Mrs. Smith grabbed her children and ran out of Mrs. Gray’s house. She hurried down the road after him, calling his name and pulling her children along with her. But the soldier was too far away for her voice to reach him. When she got back to their farm, she saw the man standing by the fence. He was looking at the little house and the field of yellow wheat. The sun was almost touching the hills in the west. The cowbells rang softly as the animals moved toward the barn. “How peaceful it all is,” Private Smith thought, “How far away from the battles, the hospitals, the wounded and the dead. My little farm is in Wisconsin. How could I have left it for those years of killing and suffering?” Trembling and weak with emotion, Mrs. Smith hurried up to her husband. Her feet made no sound on the grass, but he turned suddenly to face her. For the rest of his life, he would never forget her face at that moment. “Emma!” he cried. The children stood back watching their mother kissing this strange man. He saw them, and kneeling down, he pulled from his pack three huge, red apples. In a moment, all three children were in their father’s arms. Together, the family entered the little unpainted farmhouse. Later that evening, after supper, Smith and his wife went outside. The moon was bright, above the eastern hills. Sweet, peaceful stars filled the sky as the night birds sang softly, and tiny insects buzzed in the soft air. His farm needed work.

Students at this school made cars with improved fuel efficiency (燃油效率) and other inventions, too. And now, the students are designing a washing machine for outer space. They hope it will be accepted by NASA or us. NASA asked for ideas through its HUNCH program, which is short for “High School United with NASA to Create Hardware”. Braham Area High School is one of the 100 schools in the program. The challenge is to come up with a good way to wash clothes on long-time space tasks, where air and water don’t mix and soap can’t be used. On shorter space tasks, astronauts simply throw away their dirty clothes. For longer tasks, a different solution is needed. The team has already built a system using a series of pumps (泵) and vacuum chambers (真空室), but NASA were afraid that it might not be durable (耐用的). The washing machine isn’t the only NASA project Brahma students are working on. They’re also designing and building a track system to hold equipment. NASA said it plans to use their system. They’re also designing an automated (自动化的) feeding system for space mice. NASA regularly takes mice into space as test subjects. “To get a kid to do something that they never thought they could do, that’s really great!” said Luke Becker, the school’s technology teacher. “There are kids who never planned to do anything in technology until they had these chances.” 65．The students in Braham Area High School are working on ________. ①electric cars      ②washing machines for outer space ③a track system    ④a feeding system A．①② B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①②③④ 66．What is the HUNCH program about?

Passage15 Since the mid-1970s, Mike Reynolds, founder of Earthship Biotecture has had one goal to build green environmentally friendly houses. His designs have become better over the years but his new Earthships are still built with three goals: to be made from environmentally friendly materials, doesn’t it? However, for people who want to lead a green lifestyle, living in an Earthship has become a great green choice. Although the walls of Earthships can also be made of concrete (水泥), stone, cans and plastic bottles (轮胎) have become the normal material to use because they are easy to find and change to “bricks”. More than 2 million tyres appear in rubbish in the United States. In addition, rubber tires filled with earth weigh up to 150 kg each so they can support heavy weight. They also keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter, which means that people don’t have to keep air conditioners at 25.5 degrees and they don’t have to use air conditioners at all as their houses remain as cold as ice! Earthships put a stop to wasting water and electricity. They have special roofs (屋顶) that catch and store rainwater. Once this clean water has come out of showers, it becomes “grey water”, when they realize that it is used only in toilets, their disgust turns to amazement. By the time they learn that Earthships are powered completely by the wind, sun and other clean energy, their amazement has usually become one word: “wow”! Mike Reynolds hopes that in the future all houses will be built with sustainability (耐久性) in mind just like his Earthships are. As we all know time is running out to deal with environmental problems. Any creative designs such as the Earthships are a welcome change. The world needs more like-minded people to voice the world’s problems. 70．What can we know about Mr. Reynolds’ first Earthship homes? A．It’s difficult and expensive to build. B．It helps lead to a green lifestyle. C．It’s only a choice for wealthy people. D．It’s powered by coal, oil and natural gas. 71．Why have recycled tyres become the normal material to use? ①It can support heavy weight. ②It’s easy to find. ③It is as cold as ice. ④It keeps the house at a comfortable temperature. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④ D．②③④ 72．What does the underlined word “disgust” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Worry. B．Fear. C．Anger. D．Dislike. 73．What is your special way to help solve environmental problems? (Within 20 words) 【答案】70．B 71．C 72．D 73．We should take public transportation instead of driving cars. We should also use both sides of paper to save energy. 【分析】本文主要介绍了Mike Reynolds设计创造的地球船。 70．细节理解题。根据“ However, for people who want to lead a green lifestyle, living in an Earthship has become a great green choice.”可知，对于那些想要过上绿色环保生活的人们来说，住在地球船上已经成为了一个很棒的环保选择。故选B。 71．细节理解题。根据“Although the walls of Earthships can also be made of concrete (水泥), stone, cans and plastic bottles (轮胎) have become the normal material to use because they are easy to find and change to ‘bricks’.”、“In addition, rubber tires filled with earth weigh up to 150 kg each so they can support heavy weight.”和“ They also keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter, which means that people don’t have to keep air conditioners at 25.5 degrees and they don’t have to use air conditioners at all as their houses remain as cold as ice!”可知，再生轮胎成为正常使用的材料，因为它们很容易找到，能支撑很重的重量，也能让房子保持在一个舒适的温度。故选C。 72．词句猜测题。根据“Once this clean water has come out of showers, it becomes ‘grey water’, when they realize that it is used only in toilets, their disgust turns to amazement.”可知，这些干净的水一旦从淋浴间出来，就变成了“灰水”，当他们意识到它只用于厕所时，他们的厌恶变成了惊讶。因此，disgust意为“厌恶”，与dislike同义。故选D。 73．本题为主观题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填We should take public transportation instead of driving cars. We should also use both sides of paper to save energy. Passage16 ①Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many years later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits (好处) for the brain, in rats at least. ②“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important—not just good for your body, but for the mind during ageing,” says Martin of the University of Toronto, Canada. “In humans, it may put off the appearance of Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症) symptoms, possibly to the point of stopping them.” ③Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for six weeks. Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear. ④Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box in a different room , and a completely different box in a different room. ⑤The rats without a running wheel when they were young now froze the same period of time in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run when they were young froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings. ⑥“The results suggest the amount of exercise when we’re young, at least for rats, has influence on brain and health—in the form of better memories—when we’re older,” says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston, who has found that, in humans, exercise improves the growth of new brain cells (细胞). ⑦ . 74．Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A．Exercise when young can stop memories from losing when older in rats. B．Physical activity is important for physical health. C．Using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats’ growth. D．Physical activity can help human’s Alzheimer’s symptoms. 75．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Study. B．Animal. C．Rat. D．Exercise. 76．How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a study. D．By showing the process. 77．Write a sentence for Para. ⑦ ▲ (within 20 words) . 【答案】74．A 75．D 76．D 77．The earlier we start to exercise, the better it will be for our health or brains/Never fail to exercise at an early age/In a word, exercise during childhood can protect you against memory loss many years later 【导语】本文讲述通过对实验鼠进行实验，发现了动物在年轻时运动越多，年老时的记忆力就越好。 74．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.”可知，研究表明，年轻时的锻炼可以防止老鼠年老时的记忆丧失。故选A。 75．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important—not just good for your body, but for the mind during ageing”可知，本段主要介绍一项动物研究，说明体育活动对身体发育和衰老过程中认知发展轨迹很重要，对于人类，它可能会推迟阿兹海默症的出现；可推测出“it”指代的是“exercise”。故选D。 76．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for six weeks…When placed in the box, they froze with fear.”以及第四段中“Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box in a different room , and a completely different box in a different room.”可知，第三、四段通过描述过程来开展。故选D。 77．根据第六段中“The results suggest the amount of exercise when we’re young, at least for rats, has influence on brain and health—in the form of better memories—when we’re older”可知，研究表明，我们越早开始锻炼，对我们的健康或大脑越有好处，此处进行总结。故填The earlier we start to exercise, the better it will be for our health or brains/Never fail to exercise at an early age/In a word, exercise during childhood can protect you against memory loss many years later。 Passage17 Every student should read one of the plays by William Shakespeare. It will be a chance to read some of the most amazing poetry(诗歌). But it will be hard. Shakespeare didn’t use language like us. Wiliam Shakespeare lived in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. The language at that time is known as Elizabethan English. Why is it so difficult to understand the plays of William Shakespeare? One problem is the meaning of the words. Though about 95% of Shakespeare’s words are still used in English today, a few of them now have different meanings. For example, the word “weird”. To us, it means strange. In Shakespeare’s day, it meant being able to see the future. Another example is “quick”. It now means fast, but 400 years ago it meant alive. While word meanings may be one problem, Shakespeare’s order of words is another problem. Words are usually put together in certain order in English. For example, we usually say, “John caught the ball.” But Shakespeare was as poet(诗人), and he did not have to keep language rules. He would sometimes use the form, “John the ball caught.” He did this to make the beats and sounds of each line of his poems come out a certain way. But any high school student can easily understand Shakespeare’s creative word order. The problem, it seems, must be something else. The biggest problem, perhaps, is understanding Shakespeare himself. He was, after all, a poet. Even great modern poets write things that readers might have trouble understanding. Students will always have trouble understanding the language of Shakespeare. But if they don’t give up, they will enjoy the greatest works written by the greatest of poets. 78．According to the passage, which of the following is an opinion instead of a fact? A．The word “quick” means fast today while it meant alive 400 years ago. B．It’s difficult for the readers to understand the great modern poets’ works. C．Shakespeare used different orders of words to make the lines sound natural. D．Nearly 95% of Shakespeare’s words are used today but some have different meanings. 79．Which of the following shows how the paragraphs are organized in this passage? A． B． C． D． 80．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? 81．This passage can probably be read in the _________ part of a magazine. A．Travel B．Literature C．Geography D．Business 【答案】78．B 79．B 80．To explain why it is difficult to understand the plays of William Shakespeare. 81．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了学生很难理解莎士比亚剧的原因。 78．推理判断题。根据“Even great modern poets write things that readers might have trouble understanding.”可知，即使是伟大的现代诗人写的作品，读者也许有理解上的困难，这是一个观点，而选项ACD中讲述的是事实，而非观点。故选B。 79．篇章结构题。文章第一段讲述了每个学生应该读莎士比亚的作品；第二段提出“为什么莎士比亚的作品难以理解”这一问题；第三、四、五段分别讲述了莎士比亚的作品难以理解的原因；第六段总结。故选B。 80．主旨大意题。根据“Why is it so difficult to understand the plays of William Shakespeare?”及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了很难理解莎士比亚剧的原因。因此作者写该文章的目的是解释莎士比亚剧难以理解的原因。故填To explain why it is difficult to understand the plays of William Shakespeare. 81．推理判断题。本文主要讲述了学生很难理解莎士比亚剧的原因，属于文学类阅读，因此在杂志的文学板块可以读到该文章。故选B。 Passage18 One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown (王冠) maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it. “It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to wonder whether it was a real golden crown or not. “Is it made completely of gold?” he asked himself. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out what is true. “This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over. “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!” Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. Next, he put two pots (罐) into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl. “Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces (排出) less water than a crown made of gold and another metal (金属). This crown displaced ________, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man be is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison (监狱). 82．What’s the correct order of the following? ① Archimedes did an experiment. ② The crown maker was sent to prison. ③ King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. ④ Archimedes was asked to discover whether the crown is made of gold. A．③④①② B．③①④② C．①②③④ D．①③④② 83．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．no water or gold at all B．less water than gold of the same weight C．more water than gold of the same weight D．the same water as gold of the same weight 84．What does the underlined word “trick” mean? A．Believe in. B．Lie to. C．Agree with. D．Care about. 85．What do you think of Archimedes? (within 15 words) 【答案】82．A 83．C 84．B 85．I think he is very clever. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了阿基米德通过浮力测验王冠是否为纯金的故事。 82．细节理解题。通读文章可知，国王先让制作王冠的人给他制作一顶王冠，然后国王想知道王冠是否为纯金，于是请阿基米德检测。接下来阿基米德通过实验检出王冠不是纯金，最后国王很生气将皇冠制作者关到监狱里，正确顺序为③④①②。故选A。 83．推理判断题。根据前文“A crown made completely of gold displaces (排出) less water than a crown made of gold and another metal (金属).”以及后文“so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.”可知，其他金属制成的王冠溢出的水要比纯金制成的王冠要多。故选C。 84．词义猜测题。根据上文可知，制作皇冠的人没有用纯金制作王冠，所以是欺骗了国王。故选B。 85．开放性作答，答案合理即可。文章主要在说阿基米德通过实验来帮国王测王冠是否为纯金，可见阿基米德非常聪明。故填I think he is very clever. Passage19 Jack looked a little uncomfortable, but he lifted up his eyes and looked into Charles’s worried face and began, “APM is something that tastes sweet”. Jack could see Charles nodding his head and smiling widely. “In carefully measured amounts*, it can make a person prefer one kind of drink over another…” “Hey. Jack! ” Charles cried out. “That’s amazing! Just what we wanted! ” “I haven’t finished. Charles…” Charles apologized, still nodding his head, and Jack continued. “However, if we put too much APM into a product, people will want the product so much that it becomes really dangerous. It is harmful to people’s health. People will have a headache and their memory will get worse and worse.” For a moment, Charles stopped smiling. “So what you’re saying is: if we add too much APM to something, it’s going to make it dangerous? ” “That’s right.” “But, if the amounts are right, we can use APM safely. Right? ” “Well, yes, but…” “No problem then!” Charles laughed. “I’m sure it’ll be perfectly OK, Jack. I’ll make sure everyone understands.” “No, Charles,” Jack said, more impatiently this time. “Let me explain. I’ve been doing some thinking about this lately.” “You certainly have, Mr Clever!” said Charles. “We’re going to make millions of dollars on this one. Jack, Millions!” “Charles!” Jack raised his voice. “Let me explain more clearly. APM is dangerous! If it is used in the wrong amounts, it can make people crazy…crazy with a need for… for anything they eat or drink.” “Well,” Charles replied, more calmly now, “I understand it now, Jack. We have to be careful with these things.” “At first,” Jack said, “I was excited by the idea of helping people to eat good food. There are too many sick people these days. I wanted to help with the problems.” “Oh, yes!” Charles said. “Of course!” “Yes, well”, Jack replied, “I realize now that I was playing with fire. It’ll be better if people put away the research and forget about it. It’s too dangerous and just too… too wrong. You can see that now, can’t you, Charles?” 86．What can you learn about APM from the passage? A．It is a kind of delicious drink. B．It is something that smells sweet. C．It can make people like something more. D．It can help people have a good eating habit. 87．APM is dangerous to someone, if he or she _______. A．has it too much B．sees it too much C．smells it too much D．understands it too much 88．What did Jack think of the research about APM at last? A．He realized it might be harmful for humans. B．He believed everyone would forget about it. C．He wished it would make plenty of money for him. D．He thought it could help many people eat healthy food. 89．What would Jack decide to do at last? Why?（请用约40词回答）                                                          【答案】86．C 87．A 88．A 89．Jack would stop Charles from using APM. And he would suggest people put away the research and forget about it. Because too much APM is harmful to people’s health. People would have a headache and their memory will get worse and worse./Jack would ask Charles to use APM in the right amounts if Charles still kept his opinion to make money. Because Jack thought he was playing with fire and felt sorry for creating APM. 【导语】本文主要介绍了杰克对APM研究的看法，认为它很危险，决定放弃。 86．细节理解题。根据第一段“‘APM is something that tastes sweet’. Jack could see Charles nodding his head and smiling widely. ‘In carefully measured amounts*, it can make a person prefer one kind of drink over another…’可知，AP M是尝起来很甜的东西，在精心测量的数量下，它可以使一个人更喜欢一种饮料而不是另一种……由此可见，APM能让人更喜欢一些东西。故选C。 87．细节理解题。根据第五段“However, if we put too much APM into a product, people will want the product so much that it becomes really dangerous. It is harmful to people’s health. People will have a headache and their memory will get worse and worse.”可知，如果我们在一种产品中放入过多的APM，人们就会非常想要这种产品，从而变得非常危险。它对人们的健康有害。人会头疼，记忆力会越来越差。由此可见，APM使用太多时对人有危害。故选A。 88．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I realize now that I was playing with fire. It’ll be better if people put away the research and forget about it. It’s too dangerous and just too… too wrong.”可知，杰克现在意识到他在玩火。如果人们把研究放在一边，忘掉它，那会更好。因为这太危险了，也太不对了。由此可见，他意识到这可能对人类有害。故选A。 89．主观表达题。根据“It is harmful to people’s health. People will have a headache and their memory will get worse and worse.”可知，它对人们的健康有害。人会头疼，记忆力会越来越差。根据“I realize now that I was playing with fire. It’ll be better if people put away the research and forget about it.”可知，杰克现在意识到他在玩火。如果人们把研究放在一边，忘掉它，那会更好。因此杰克会阻止查尔斯使用APM。并且会建议人们放弃研究并忘掉它。根据“‘But, if the amounts are right, we can use APM safely. Right?’ ‘Well, yes, but…’”可知，如果量合适，可以安全地使用AP M。因此杰克可能会建议Charles使用适当数量的APM，如果查尔斯仍然坚持自己的观点来赚钱。故填Jack would stop Charles from using APM. And he would suggest people put away the research and forget about it. Because too much APM is harmful to people’s health. People would have a headache and their memory will get worse and worse./Jack would ask Charles to use APM in the right amounts if Charles still kept his opinion to make money.

She trained in basic nursing skills, like how to watch a patient for signs of illness and dress a wound. She assisted in operations and prepared medicine. She learned the value of good hospital organization and discovered the importance of cleanliness when caring for the sick. Her parents gradually softened* their opinions. Florence received a kind letter from her mother. She wrote words of encouragement to Flo, telling her to follow her dream. Her father decided to support his hard-working daughter despite her unusual choices. He provided her with money for living expenses. In 1853, Florence accepted a position as the superintendent at a women’s hospital in London. It was a small hospital with little money. Florence ran the hospital just as she and her sister helped their mother run Lea Hurst and Embley Park. She balanced the budget* and cut unimportant cost. She guided workers to make bed covers for the 27 patient beds out of old curtains. She bought new linens for the place with her own money and decorated with unwanted prints and furniture from home. She started a library of books for patients with donations* from her father’s collection. She asked workers to install pipes that would move hot water to each floor, so nurses wouldn’t have to pull heavy water up the stairs. Florence also came up with a system of hand bells that the patients at the hospital could use to get the nurses’ attention. Flo always worked hard to improve nursing care and conditions for the hospital’s patients and nurses. A year of real-world experience made Flo found that her true passion* was not only nursing, but training other women to be nurses. When offered the chance to become the superintendent of nurses at King’s College Hospital in London, she accepted the position. However, the war changed her plan. The British military joined in to defend* Turkey. Reports traveling back to London from the Crimean War described terrible hospital conditions and poor care for the sick and injured British soldiers there. With little medical care available, soldiers were dying from battle wounds, cold, hunger, and sickness. Some said more soldiers were dying in the British military hospital there than in the fighting areas. Florence read every report she could find about the military hospital in Scutari. Her new job at King’s College was waiting, but she couldn’t help feeling she could do more good overseas. Florence wrote a letter to her friend Elizabeth. In the letter, Florence asked Elizabeth if she thought her husband, Sidney, would allow Florence to lead a team of nurses to help at the British military hospital. Florence had the skills and the ambition to make a big change and do something no British woman had ever done before—but would she be allowed to help? （Adapted from Florance Nightingale by Kitson Jazynak） 90．At Kaiserswerth, Florence ________.

A boy ran up and tried to snatch her bag. The large woman simply turned around, caught the boy by his shirt, and shook him until his teeth rattled. After that, the woman asked, “Boy, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” “I’m sorry,” whispered the boy. “What did you want to do it for? Your face is dirty. Nobody at home to tell you to wash your face?” The boy shook his head. “Then,” the woman shouted, “it will get washed this evening. You are going to remember Mrs. Jones!” She pulled the frightened boy behind her and got to her door. “Are you taking me to the police?” The boy asked. “Not with that face! Have you been home to eat yet?” “There’s nobody at my house.” “Then we’ll eat,” said Mrs. Jones. “I believe you’re hungry, so you tried to steal.” “I wanted a pair of leather shoes,”said the boy. “Well, you didn’t have to snatch my bag to get things you want. Besides, there’s little money in it.” There was a long pause. After he washed his face and turned around, wondering what to do next, he saw the door was open. He could run, run, run! In the corner of the room, Mrs. Jones was heating some beans. She did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run, nor did she watch her bag which she left behind on the bed. But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the room, away from the bag, where he thought she could easily see him. “Do you need somebody to get milk or something?” The boy asked. “Unless you want,” said Mrs. Jones. As they ate, she didn’t ask about where he lived, or his family, or anything that would embarrass him.Instead, she said, “eat some more, boy!” When they finished eating, she got up. “Now here, take this ten dollars and buy your shoes. Next time, don’t snatch my bag, nor anybody else’s—shoes got in bad ways will burn your feet!” The boy really wanted to say something to Mrs. Jones. But he failed to say a word as he turned at the foot of the steps and looked up at the large woman. 94．What does the underlined word “whispered” in the passage mean?

On the other hand, he felt thankful because the woman didn’t punish him but instead cooked him a meal and gave him money to buy shoes he wanted. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了一个善良的女士将一个要偷她手提包的男孩带回家并且照顾他的故事。 94．词句猜测题。根据“A boy ran up and tried to snatch her bag.”和“I’m sorry,”可知，男孩偷东西被抓住了，因此在小声地道歉。故选A。 95．细节理解题。根据“It was eleven o’clock at night, a large woman was walking towards home.”可知，夜晚Mrs. Jones一个人走在回家的路上。故选C。 96．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲了一个善良的女士将一个要偷她手提包的男孩带回家并且照顾他的故事。B选项“谢谢，琼斯夫人”比较适合作为文章标题。故选B。 97．通读全文可知，男孩抢Mrs. Jones的手提包失败了，他以为Mrs. Jones会带他去警察局，没想到Mrs. Jones却请他回家吃饭，由此可知男孩会因为抢包而感到羞愧，也会因为Mrs. Jones请他吃饭而心怀谢意。参考答案为：On the one hand, the boy felt very sorry for snatching the woman’s bag.

Bryan was used to having his sister cheering him on when he scored a goal. But they were playing against each other. Bryan and Jordan led the Raptors, while Tara and Devin played for the Ghosts. The two teams were fighting for the playoff*. Tara was a year older, and she was better than her brother in most sports. But Bryan had been catching up. Practicing against her at home helped a lot. Bryan was guarding Tara as closely as a shadow. Can I contain her for just two more minutes? Jordan passed the ball to Bryan, but he wasn’t confident enough to fake* out Tara by himself, so he kicked the ball hard up the field. All of the Ghosts were rushing forward. Tara got the ball finally. Only Bryan stood beside her. She moved to her left, then stepped over the ball with her right foot. That was one of Tara’s best fakes, but Bryan wasn’t fooled. With a quick move, Bryan took the ball and kicked it way up the field. The referee* blew his whistle. “Game over!” Jordan and the rest of the Raptors cheered loudly. Bryan stared at the ball as it rolled away. His sister stood beside him, eyes on the ground. “Good game, Tara,” Bryan said softly. “You won it for us. Great goal.” Jordan ran to Bryan excitedly. “We all won it. Everybody attacked. You made the perfect pass. I just knocked it into the net.” Bryan looked back at his sister. Jordan nodded. “She’ll get over it,” he said, referring to Tara. “You win some, you lose some. We all know that.” Tara looked angry. “You were pretty good,” she said coldly, slowly shaking her head. “Where did you learn that?” “Are you kidding?” Bryan stopped walking. “I’ve been chasing* you around ever since I learned to walk. All of the things I’ve learned came from you.” Tara forced* a smile. “You stopped all my moves in the last couple of minutes.” “I may have learned how to stop them,” Bryan said, “but I’m not very good at making those moves myself.” Tara clapped her brother on the shoulder.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a seriously injured Doberman dog in his arms and begging us to save his life, “Please help my poor pet, please, please!” The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The vet worked patiently and tirelessly for3 hours, stitching his skin back together again. However, that was the easy part. The dog had also broken many bones. Even if he could live for the next few days, we were sure he would never walk again. That day forever changed my life. I really wanted to do more to help the poor dog. With the guide of the vet, I became his helper. One of my jobs was to give that dog physical therapy every day. I had to move his little legs to let him do a little exercise in order to keep his muscles from becoming withering. Weeks later, I’m glad that he could use his legs again. As I saw more and more patients. I started forgetting this dog. 5 years later, on a usual morning, I walked into the clinic’s waiting room and called the name of the next patient. Suddenly a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner jumped up excitedly and ran towards me happily. I found myself pinned against the wall with this big dog standing on his legs, washing my face with lots of happy kisses! “Ms. Mraz, I beg your pardon for my pet’s extreme excitement, but I’m afraid he just can’t help showing his great love and thankful feelings for you!” The owner ran in the room and apologized.

Passage26 Although I was the class clown at school, there’s an introverted side to my personality. That’s because I have a rarely seen disease that makes it hard for my brain to deal with the information what I see. Words swim on the page for me. I wanted to learn how to read but couldn’t. In primary school, I didn’t talk to any teachers or family about this. I was clever at hiding it. When I had to write anything down, I guessed, forming what I hoped were the right words. I became good at learning by heart. When I started secondary school, a student in class made me stand on a chair and read. It was terrible as a result I developed a bad stutter. I continued to fall through the net. The only thing I loved was practical biology. I wanted to be a doctor. Then I left school and joined the army. I decided to be a doctor and trained hard. But things were discovered when I did a course in prehospital emergency care. I passed all my practical exams, preparing for them by watching others. The problem was the written exam. I was so hopeless but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn’t read. He asked me to get back into education. I was 34. I made up my mind to attend the Open University (OU) to do a medical degree. It was back to basics on the course. I knew the letters and some words, but my vocabulary was small. I paid for a tutor, who worked with me every week, teaching me to understand words through pictures. It took me nine years to get that degree. Now, aged 47, I’m an ambassador for the OU, winning an award for receiving education so late in life. I teach prehospital emergency care to medical school students. I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had. I still struggle to read a menu if I’m not wearing my special glasses, but luckily there’s always someone around to lend me a hand. I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now. My story suggests that no one should be discounted, ever. 114．What did the writer do while facing his problem in primary school? A．He found a way to hide it. B．He tried his best to forget it.

Passage27 When I was told that my family decided to move from the only home that I had ever known, I ran into the garden and sat alone, crying, as tears welled up from my hearts.     Suddenly I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. It was my grandfather.     “It isn’t easy, is it, Billy?” he said softly, sitting down on the steps beside me.     “Grandpa,” I replied through my tears, “how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?”     “Goodbye is such a sad word,” he said. “Although we seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye, they all have one thing in common: sadness.”     Then he gently took my hand in his and took me to his favorite place in the garden, where a huge red rose bush* grew alone.     “What do you see here, Billy?” he asked.     I looked at the flowers, “I see something soft and beautiful, Grandpa.”     Kneeling, he pulled me close. “It isn’t just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It’s that special place in your heart that makes them so.”     I saw my grandfather’s tears. I had never seen him cry before.     “I planted these roses a long, long time ago. I put them into the ground the day my first son was born. That boy’s name was Billy, just like yours. I used to watch him pick roses for his mother. One day a terrible war came, and my son went away to fight for the country. Three months later a letter came. My son had died in a village in Italy. All I could think of was that the last thing I said to him in his life was goodbye.”     Grandpa slowly stood up. He said, “Don’t ever say goodbye, Billy. Don’t ever give in to the sadness and loneliness of that word. I want you to remember the happiness of those times when you first said hello to your friends. Take that special hello into your heart. When you and your friends must part, I want you to reach deep within yourself and bring back that first hello.”     A year and a half later, my grandfather became badly ill. When he returned from the hospital, the family members were summoned*. It was time for the family members to say their goodbyes.     When it came to my turn, I noted how tired he looked. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was slow and hard.     I took his hand as gently as he had once taken mine.     “Hello, Grandpa,” I said. His eyes slowly opened.     “Hello, my friend,” he said, with a smile. 119．Why didn’t the writer want to move from his old house? A．Because it was hard for him to live in a new place.

Isn’t that something?” “I guess so,” Greg said. “But you really think that treasure of yours was worth fighting against the bad guys?” “As a boy, you’re sure to ask such a foolish question.

We didn’t do anything to hurt her and she didn’t know us. But that didn’t matter. She still didn’t like us. As new teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day. She came into our office and passed by us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners in the office. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Finally, we stopped trying to be friendly with her. Her friends had been fired from the school. We were chosen to be in their place and we have different nationalities. These were enough for her to have nothing to do with us. Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the box and that meant she was my secret pal. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly revealed who our secret pal was. I bought her a small potted plant and asked one of the Emiratis to write a little message on it. Then I sent it to her room secretly. She was so touched. The next day I sent a beautiful candle but I wrote the message in English. She needed to know her secret pal was a Westerner before the reveal day so that she was prepared. Then came the day of the reveal. We all gathered in the staff meeting room and everyone was excited. When you received your gift, you said something about your secret pal and passed the gift to him/her. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said, “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” I didn’t even need to say her name. Everyone knew exactly who I meant. She came forward with a huge warm and sweet smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and politely accepted my gift. This was a lovely experience but I wondered how it would pan out. Would she go back to avoiding eye contact with me and all other Westerners? Later that day, I passed by her. She was smiling and she told me she loved my gifts. One of my Western colleagues told me that she too was benefiting from this change in attitude.

They all rushed to the door to look. A man in a blue coat, with a gun on his back, was walking down the road toward the Smith farm. His face was hidden by a large pack on his back. Laughing and crying, Mrs. Smith grabbed her children and ran out of Mrs. Gray’s house. She hurried down the road after him, calling his name and pulling her children along with her. But the soldier was too far away for her voice to reach him. When she got back to their farm, she saw the man standing by the fence. He was looking at the little house and the field of yellow wheat.

My little farm is in Wisconsin. How could I have left it for those years of killing and suffering?” Trembling and weak with emotion, Mrs. Smith hurried up to her husband. Her feet made no sound on the grass, but he turned suddenly to face her. For the rest of his life, he would never forget her face at that moment. “Emma!” he cried.
