  Long ago the sky was close to the Earth. Men and women did not have to plant their own food.   36   ,when they were hungry,they just reached up and  37   a piece of the sky to eat.

Sometimes the sky tasted like ripe bananas.Other times it tasted like roasted potatoes. The sky was  38   delicious. Many people in the kingdom did not use the gift of the sky  39   .They took more than they could eat. Some people even threw the extra pieces    40  .

    Early one morning the angry sky turned dark. Black clouds   41   over the land. And a great sky voice said to all the people,“You are    42   my gift of food. Do not take more than you can eat. I don’t want to see pieces of    43   in the garbage anymore   44  I will take my gift away.”All the people trembled   45   fear. For a long time,they were careful.

      46   at a festival time,one man named Adami took so many delicious pieces of sky that he couldn’t eat them all,He knew he must not    47   them away. He tried to give the pieces to his wife.“Here, wife,”Adami said.“You eat the rest.”“I   48   ”,Adami’s wife said.“I’m too full.”Adami asked all his children to help him eat the delicious pieces of sky,but the children couldn’t have one more    49   .So Adami decided to try to hide the pieces at the bottom of the garbage pile.

Suddenly,the sky became angry and the clouds turned black.“You have wasted my gift of food    50   ”,shouted the sky. “This time I will go away so you cannot waste me anymore.”All of the people cried,“What will we eat? We might   51  !”The sky said,“You will have to learn how to plant crops in the ground and   52   in the forests.   53  you work hard,you may learn not to waste the gifts of nature.”

    Everyone watched as the sky sailed away.   54   ,they worked hard to grow their food and cook their meals. They   55   not to waste the gifts of nature.

    Juliette Gordon Low,the founder of the Girl Scouts(童子军)of America,was deaf.She was

born on October 31,1860,in Savannah,Georgia.Her family and friends all called her Daisy.

When she was 14 she was sent to a school in Virginia that was run by some of Thomas Jefferson’s grand-daughters. A few years later,at the age of 17,she transferred to a school in New York.

    Juliette married William Mackay Low and they went to England to live.Juliette became

interested in the Girl Guides Association there.She observed their meetings and was very impressed because the girls acquired many useful skills.They learned how to cook,knit,tie knots and give first aid. They also learned about the history of the flag. Moreover,they developed important social skills as they learned how to work together. Juliette thought that girls everywhere should have this opportunity,so she decided to organize more troops.

    Juliette organized several Girl Guides troops in both England and Scotland. Since she could not do all the work herself,she had to ask other women to help her. Sometimes the women were

reluctant to give their time due to family responsibilities.However,Juliette was a very determined

woman.Juliette always persevered until she motivated others to help her with her goals.When the

women refused,she would pretend that she didn’t understand what they said. As a result, the

women helped her in spite of being busy.

    When Juliette came back to America for a visit,she started the first Girl Guides troop in the

country in her home town,Savannah.By the time she went back to England six months later,there

were six Girl Guide troops in SavannahAt that time,the girls each made their own uniforms.

    In 1913,the Girl Guides changed its name to the Girl Scouts.Juliette Low came back to

Savannah that same year. She decided that there should be Girl Scout troops all over the United

States,so she worked toward that goal.The first national Girl Scout convention was held in

Washington D. C.,on June 10,1915.

    Juliette died in Savannah on January 17,1927.Thanks to her,there are now Girl Scouts all

over the world. Juliette’s home in Savannah is a national Girl Scout center.

    A snow leopard roars in the high mountains of Asia.A black rhinoceros gallops across the

plains of Africa. A grizzly bear hunts for fish in a North American river .A mother blue whale and

her calf glide through the deep waters of the ocean.

    All of these animals share the Earth with us.They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace,

and their speed. We love observing their behavior,and learning more about their habits. But just

loving them is not enough. All of these animals are endangered. Many of them have died,and

without special care,they may someday disappear from the Earth.

    Why is it important to care for animals like these? One reason is to protect the balance of life on Earth. Another reason is the beauty of the animals themselves. Each species of animal is special. Africa was once filled with an abundance of wild animals. But that is changing fast.One of these animals,the black rhinoceros, lives on the plains of Africa.It has very poor eyesight and a very bad temper!Even though the black rhino is powerful,and can be dangerous,its strength can’t always help it to escape hunters. Some people think that the rhino’s horn has magical powers,and many hunters kill rhinos for their valuable horns. This has caused the black rhino to be placed on the endangered species list.

    The elephant seems,to represent all that is strong and wild in A frica. It once had no natural

enemies,but is now endangered-killed for its ivory tusks.

    The fastest land animal,the cheetah,also lives in A frica. It,too,is becoming extinct as

people take over more and more of the land that is the cheetah’s natural habitat.

    Imagine Africa without the powerful rhino,the gentle,intelligent elephant,or the lightning

quick cheetah.Once they are gone,they are gone forever.

61.The best title for this passage would be“_______”.

   A. Do what we can      B. Gone forever    C. Help animals    D. Live or die

62.Why has the black rhino been placed on the endangered list according to the passage?

63.Which of the following does NOT support the main idea of the article?

    A. Ocean-dwelling animals are in danger of extinction as well.

     B. Beautiful birds like the great green macaw are also becoming extinct.

     C. Wherever people are careless about the land,there are endangered species.

     D. The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa.

    Do you blank out,freeze up or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just the night before? If so,you likely have a case of test anxiety. But,don’t panic. By recognizing the problem,you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.

    Believe it or not,a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind,allowing you to perform more quickly.This is because under stress,the body gives off the hormone adrenaline(肾上腺素),which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness,loss of appetite before tests,and poor performance. Some people might feel shaky,hot or even sick..

    If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist,you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety.

Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also

experience test anxiety.

When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on,stop what you’re doing and make your mind a

blank. If possible,actually tell yourself to “STOP!”.This will get your mind off the stress. Then

think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test,find questions you know the answers to and answer them first.This will help restore your confidence. Talk to yourself using positive language.Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example:“I’ve studied hard and I know the material,so I’m ready to do the best I can.”Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact,they can be valuable learning opportunities.

    Last but not least,start test preparation early—three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all,good study habits and skills—for example,time management and note-taking一will give you the feeling that you are in control.

65. According to the text,people who ____are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety.

   A. worry a lot or are perfectionists            B. prepare poorly for a test

   C. have failed in tests before                 D. all of the above

66.Which of the following is NOT the way mentioned in the passage to beat nerves?

    A. Stop what you are doing and try to relax.   B. Talk to your teacher or friends.

    C. Make a full test preparation early.         D.Learn to accept mistakes.

67.From the text,we know it is NOT true that _______.

    A. test anxiety does no good to students

    B. a bit of test anxiety might be helpful to some students

    C. some students can’t sleep well before the test

    D. some students failed in the test because of test anxiety

68.The underlined word “it” refers to _______

     A. the stress                            B. the hormone adrenaline

     C. the body                             D. the mind

69.According to the passage,we can infer that _______.

     A. good study habits and skills can help you with test anxiety

     B.all perfectionists have trouble with test anxiety

     C. making your mind a blank helps kicking off test anxiety

     D. by recognizing the problem,one is taking the first step towards overcoming it

    Justin was always prepared.His motto was "Never :throw anything out,for you never know

when it might come in handy.”His bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires,bent tennis rackets,

deflated basketballs,and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door.

    When Justin was away from home,he always carried his blue backpack. He liked to think of it as a smaller version of his bedroom—a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.It was full of the kind of things that seemed unimportant,but when used with a little imagination,they might come in handy.

    During science class, Mr. Tran was lecturing on the structure of the solar system (太阳系)

using a model. He made a sudden gesture and the model fell apart.Planets and rings and connector rods went everywhere,rolling and clattering and disappearing under desks. The students scrambled around on the floor for ten minutes and were finally able to recover every piece except one—a connector rod that was lodged in a crack between two lab stations.

    “If we had a magnet,”said Mr. Tran,"we could easily find it out that way. But I lent all of

The magnet kits to the elementary school yesterday.”

Justin was already searching through his backpack.“I have some materials that will work just as well,I think,”he told Mr. Tran.He pulled out a battery,an iron nail,and some electrical wire and tape,while Mr.Tran and the other students looked on in amazement.

    "Why do you have all of that stuff ?" Louise Baxter asked. Justin just smiled and repeated his

motto. "Never throw anything out,for you never know when it might come in handy.”

   By wrapping the wire around the nail and taping each end to a battery terminal,he was able to

make a magnet strong enough to lift the rod out of the crack.

    "Bravo!”said Mr. Tran.

    "No problem,”said Justin,

70.In what way is Justin’s backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?

    A. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.

    B.He uses it as a place to put what he collects.

    C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.

    D.He’s had for as long as he can remember.

71.What did Justin use to make a magnet to find out the rod during science class?

  A. A battery,an iron nail,and some electrical wire.

   B. An iron nail,some electrical wire and tape and rings.

   C. Some electrical wire and tape,a battery,and an iron nail.

   D.Some electrical wire,a iron nail and tape.

72.What does Justin mean by saying "Never throw anything out,for you never know when it

      might come in handy"?

    A. Keeping anything in your hand to know when they can help you.

    B. Keeping everything you need to help you when you need them.

    C. Keeping everything at hand because they will be useful someday.

    D. Keeping anything you don’t need when you know they are in your hand.
