Passage One
If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or reading email with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English. Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" on-line: many of them are talking at the same time.
It is fast: trying talking to six people once. It is convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes
cleverness, concentration and quick fingers. And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/HK as a reply from your pal. If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.
Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.
6, When people are on-line, they talk by ______.
A. using body language
B. drawing some strange pictures
C. making phone calls
D. making use of an especially short form of English
7. The Internet makes many people in the world ______
A. talking at the same time
B. discover their friends and relatives
C. pick out good things to buy
D. find out about some problems in society
8. The sentence "There’s neither time nor space for explanations" means that
A. people should use words properly
B. people should know what time it is when they are talking
C. People on-line have to express themselves in a simple way
D. people should communicate in a funny way
9, If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means
A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is high
B. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong Kong
C. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same time
D. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes
10, Which of the following is a way to save on-line time?
A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.
B. Many people draw pictures.
C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.
D. People never use the "shift" key.
Passage Two
Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why?
Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.
The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.
The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait—in each case that is more than eight glasses.
There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.
As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically
active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Spending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.
11, According to the passage, experts advise people to _______
A. drink eight glasses of water a day
B. drink as much water as they feel like drinking
C. drink a glass of water after each meal
D. drink no less than eight glasses of water a day
12, Most healthy people meet their daily needs for water by drinking
A when they are tired
B when they are sweating
C when they are thirsty D when they are hungry
13, The Institute of Medicine usually
A changes some traditional ideas
B announces some medical advances
C provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public
D provides scientific and technical advice to the National Academies
14, Which of the following is TRUE?
A People’s daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. B The report does tell people how many glasses of water to drink a day.
C The experts say it may be possible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guideline.
D People can’t get water when they drink fruit juices and sodas and milk.
15, People need to drink more water A when they are physically active
B when they live in hot climates
C when they are running long distance
D all of the above

Passage One
Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.

"If a teacher catches you without your egg," said one student, "she makes you go get it. They are really strict." The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it's also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.

At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.
While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction（依赖）They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.

Passage One
People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a
table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal(非语言的) communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out（突出) of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.
6， What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.
B. The castle is more important than the home.
C. The home is more important than the castle.
D. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castle.
7. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes?
A. They can make changes in houses in which they live.
B. They love houses more than gardens.
C. They can own private space like the house and the garden.
D. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.
8. According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means: A. you want to spread your towels around you further
B. you want to put your coat on the table
C. you can find no space for your books on the seat
D. you wait to tell others the space belongs to you
9. How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table?
A. He sat in a section for four people.
B. He placed his briefcase on the table.
C. He was traveling on a train to London.
D. He was reading a book.
10. The writer tried to get back his space by ______.
A. moving the case off the table
B. taking all his papers out
C. taking up the space of the man opposite
D. showing the books concerned to the man
Passage Two
Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation. The "Daily Mirror" and the "Daily Express" both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.
Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own financially and many of them are very profitable.
These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events births, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports. Editors prefer to rely on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news.
The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. They are usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the
news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the businessmen are grateful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eyes.
11, Visitors to Britain are surprised to learn that
A. local papers should have a circulation of four million
B. there are so many local newspapers there
C. British newspapers are so widely read

Passage One
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend. I'd like to bring him home with me. "
"Sure," they replied, "we’d love to meet him.‖
"There’s something you should know,‖ the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine(地雷) and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us. "
"We’re sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"Ho, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.‖ "Son," said the father, ―you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own.
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The
police believed he had killed himself.

Passage Two
Education is not an end, but a means(手段)to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is for life.
In some modern countries, it has been fashionable to think that by free education for all- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think "low" work. In fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely
uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we would die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and moved the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
11. The author of this passage thinks that A education can settle all of the world's problems
B free education won't help to solve social problems
C free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
D all the social problems can't be solved by education
12. The author wants to prove that A our society needs all kinds of jobs
B our society needs free education for all
C a farmer is more important than a professor
D People with university degrees refuse to do what they think "low" work
13. One can learn from the passage
A work with hands is dirty and shameful
B work with hands is low work
C work with hands is the most important
D we can't regard work with hands as low work
14 The purpose of education is
A to choose the system of education
B to prepare children mainly for their future work
C to build a perfect world
D to let everyone receive education fit for him
of education.
A the means
B the system
C the value
D the type

Passage one
Younger people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy but rather to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking and singing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.
When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the
rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, "Why did it happen?" "What should we do about it?"
One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: "You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.
6. What is the passage mainly about?

D. They sit around singing.
Passage Two
A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses. He drew horses very well, but he always began at the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people' s rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way strange to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it easier to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true of literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail-that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
11. A friend of the writer' s drew horses
A. in the way of his own rule
B. in the way of Western rule

D. all of the above

A. The artist began to draw at the head of the horse.
B. The artist began to draw at the tail of the horse.

阅读理解 Passage One •
A film was at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This was in 1868, before they prohibited cigarette ads from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. "Hell," said Winfield, "for 50 bucks, I’ll jump that damn horse over the moon!"
To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55, a family man who' s been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most
surprisingly, he' s a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming.
One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn’t changed him much. He says
that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say, "I've met you, know you from somewhere." whenever it happens, he says that he gets embarrassed.
6. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Cigarette ads were not allowed on television in America before 1868.

D. provided
8. When they filmed the ads, _____________.

B. a superstar
C. an actor
D. a rich man
10. When people recognized Winfield, he felt ________.
A. excited

Passage 1
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we
really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations, that is, the things they bring up to our minds. Words
become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more we are reminded of the happy and sad events of our past by certain words; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that
mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which
appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, a real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
6. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and ideas was that ___________.
A. they could express actions and things
B. they could communicate with each other
C. they could agree upon letters
D. they could write and combine them
7. What is true about the words?
A. They are used to express only thoughts and feeling.
B. They are signs.
C. They are simply sounds.
D. They can only be written.
8. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. The more we read and learn, the more the number of words means something to us.
B. The more we read and learn, the more knowledge we will acquire.
C. The more we read and learn, the more learned we are.
D. The more we read and learn, the more literate we become.
9. In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able _______________.
A. to move men to tears
B. to be masters
C. to sing
D. to be charming
10. We will make our speech silly if we _____________.
A. use words carefully
B. use words in a literary style
C. use words without accuracy
D. use words with caution
Passage Two •
Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious
and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more nutritiously (有营养) and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.
Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with how they eat and
how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so-called " plastic " fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients （成分） in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.
While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly
for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction （依赖）They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.
The current wave of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin
educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing booklet articles, etc. to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet, of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to "diet addiction".
11. These days people are dieting more because _______________.
A. they have become fatter and fatter
B. they have realized the danger of eating
C. they have become more health conscious
D. they have taken better care of themselves
12. What changes have people made in the atmosphere of mealtime?
A. They are taking more time for each meal.
B. They are eating in quiet restaurants with more leisurely atmosphere.
C. At home they are eating without phone or TV interruption.
D. All of the above.
13. ―They look like skeletons‖ In the third paragraph most probably means __________________.
A. They are very pretty.
B. They are very ugly.
C. They are too thin.
D. They are starving.
14. The main idea of the last paragraph is about __________________.
A. how the organizations try to help people with dieting addiction
B. what kind of mediums can be used to educate the public
C. where people with dieting addiction can go to ask for help
D. what causes the organizations to begin educating the public

Passage One
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend. I'd like to bring him home with me. "
"Sure, " they replied, "we’d love to meet him. "
"There’s something you should know,‖ the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us. "
"We’re sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live. "
"Ho, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can' t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own.
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.
The grief stricken parents flew to San Francisco and was taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

Passage Two
Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.
The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.
The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait — in each case, that is more than eight glasses.
There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by
forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.
As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are
physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.
11 According to the passage, experts advise people to _______
A. drink eight glasses of water a day
B. drink as much water as they feel like drinking
C. drink a glass of water after each meal
D. drink no less than eight glasses of water a day
12. Most healthy people meet their daily needs for water by drinking
A. when they are tired
B. when they are sweating
C. when they are thirsty
D. when they are hungry
13 The Institute of Medicine usually
A. changes some traditional ideas
B. announces some medical advances
C. provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public
D. provides scientific and technical advice to the National Academies
14. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. People’s daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.
B. The report does tell people how many glasses of water to drink a day.
C. The experts say it may be possible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guideline:
D. People can’t get water when they drink fruit juices and sodas and milk.

Passage One
In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"
The duck was the now famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney
cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared--there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and
hear that famous voice.
6．Who made Donald Duck film?
A Mickey Mouse
B Clarence Hash
C Walt Disney
D Pluto
7. When was the first Donald Duck film made?
A In 1933
B In 1934
C In I966
D In 1985.
8. Who was Clarence Nash?
A A cartoonist
B Donald Duck's voice
C A film maker
D A film star
9. The underlined word "audience" in the second paragraph means
A Readers
B formal interview
C freedom D the people who watch a film at a cinema
10. The underlined word "goody-goody" in the second paragraph means a person who
A likes to appear to be faultless in behavior
B who likes to appear to be faulty in behavior
C dislikes to appear to be faultless in behavior
D dislikes to be faulty in behavior
Passage Two
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was a little deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches us two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him up and help him make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill him.
Be careful of what you say. The power of words is sometimes hard to understand because an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
11. The expression "as good as" (in line 2, paragraph 1) means______
A equally good
B no better than
C hardly
D almost, practically
12. When other frogs told the two frogs there was no hope, the two frogs _____
A gave up their efforts immediately
B pay attention to what they said them and tried their best to get out
C were so afraid of the danger
D made up their mind to stay in the pit quietly
13. One of the frogs fell down and died because _________.
A he was so tired.
B he saw the other frogs unwilling to help him.
C he noticed what the other frogs were saying and stopped struggling.
D he didn't trust himself.
14 The other frog managed to jump out of the pit because_______
A he didn't believe what the other frogs had said
B he was very strong physically
C his ears were not good and he mistook their words for encouragement
D the pit was not deep enough
15. Which of the following is TRUE?
A People should avoid saying destructive words to those who are in trouble.
B The power of words lies in the beauty of language.
C Words are just words and we don't have to be careful with words.
D A encouraging word may discourage others when they are in difficult times

Passage One
Man has always wanted to fly．Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem．One of these，for example，was the great Italian artist，Leonardo da Vinci（达·芬奇）．In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly．But they were never built．
Throughout history，other less famous men have wanted to fly．An example was a man in England 800years ago．He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers．Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building．He did not fly very far．Instead，he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body．
The first real steps took place in France，in 1783．Two brothers，the Montgolfiers，made a very large“hot air balloon”．They knew that hot air rises．Why not fill a balloon with it？The balloon was made of cloth and paper．In September of that year，the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon．They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky．The passengers were a sheep and a chicken．We do not know how they felt about the trip．But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely．Two months later，two men did the same thing．They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind．Their trip lasted
twenty-five minutes and they travelled about eight kilometres．
6．Leonardo da Vinci ______ ．
A．said that man would fly in the sky one day

D．tried to fly on a large bird
8．In fact，the Englishman who tried to fly ______ ．
A．lost his life
B．flew only 8minutes
C．got badly wounded
D．succeeded in flying
9．The very first air passengers in the balloon were ______ ．

B．two Frenchmen
C．two animals
D．the Montgolfiers
10．When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris？

D．In the seventeenth century．
Passage Two
When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.
A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
11. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except
that_____ .
A. they should be easy to make friends with
B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
D. they must reach the age of 60
12. Doctors _____ .
A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
13. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .
A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
14. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .
A. they can remain young
B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
C. they find it enjoyable and interesting
D. they might meet fewer troubles in life
15. The passage is mainly about _____ .
A. a group of cold-water swimming lovers
B. the Polar Bears' life in New York
C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
