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 Savannah.At 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?
A.Because
its eyesight is poor and its temper is bad.
B.Because it has a horn.
C. Because it is believed that its horn has magical power.
D. Because people think it is powerful and dangerous.
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.
64.How does the writer feel about the fate of endangered
animals?

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

passage to beat nerves?

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

full test preparation
early.
D.Learn to accept mistakes.

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

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.
