    It is interesting how NASA(美国航天航空局) chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men1the ages of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them. Some were2air pilots, and3were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose, told him the plans and the4they might get into. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut, “How could any man5such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous6most exciting.”
    The health and physical condition of the people was,7, very necessary. Only those in very good health and physical condition were8.
    While being trained to be astronauts, they went through many9. They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary10astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the11of the moon. They were all12to fly in helicopters. There helicopters landed straight down to give them some13of the way the spaceship would actually land on the14. They were also taught the known facts about the15in space. They learnt about all the scientists and engineers who16spaceships. They visited the17where spaceships were repaired. They learnt how every18of a spaceship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control19.
    In a word, to be chosen as astronaut, one must be in good20, well-informed in science and good at piloting.

    One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
    I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
    My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.

    1. 1.

      The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.

      1. A.
        different
      2. B.
        the same

        not like each other
      4. D.
        like each other
    2. 2.

      The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that______.

      1. A.
        some teachers didn’t teach students to think in English
      2. B.
        teachers never gave the students the way of learning English
      3. C.
        students didn’t remember the way teachers taught them
      4. D.
        teachers didn’t want their students to think in English
    3. 3.

      The underlined word “they” (in Paragraph 2) refers to “_____”.

      1. A.
        Chinese students
      2. B.
        English students
      3. C.
        Chinese teachers
      4. D.

        You must think in English all the time.
      2. B.
        You should always translate English into Chinese.
      3. C.
        After speaking English for a long time, you may probably think in English naturally(自然地).
      4. D.
        The best way of learning English is to live in America.

    People diet to look more attractive. Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists.
    The research team have discovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding （繁殖） rights within the group,” explains Marian Wong. “All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.”
    The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten up.
    It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast.
    The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitors small.
    While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical （等级的） societies remain stable.
    The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humans. “As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature,” the researchers comment. “Data on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve long-term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females’ own ideal.”

    1. 1.

      When a goby grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it        

      1. A.
        faces danger
      2. B.
        has breeding rights
      3. C.

      4. D.

        the fish beaten up
      2. B.
        the fish found out
      3. C.
        the fish fattened up
      4. D.

    Why doesn’t the unemployment rate ever reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who can’t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But that’s not the case. Not now and not ever.
    On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.
    Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers don’t find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes （简历）. It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.
    So what would today’s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians’ lowering joblessness?
    Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.
    For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “is very much based on our work,” he said.
    “One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they don’t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training – it could be as simple as providing work experience.”

    1. 1.

      According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?

      1. A.
        It is always difficult to find a job.
      2. B.
        Everyone can find a job in good times.

      4. D.
        It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.
    2. 2.

      2. B.
        They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.
      3. C.
        They have found out why people don’t want to be employed.
      4. D.

      According to Pissarides, _________ is effrctive in dealing with unemployment.

        spending large sums of money on training

    Tug-of –war is not only popular in China, but in many other countries. Their tug-of-war match is a little different from ours. They have eight men for each team, while we may have the match between two sides with equal men or women players. Of course, they are usually tall, strong and heavy.
    For a tug-of-war match, we need a long thick rope. Each team stands at one end of the rope, holding it.

    It is easier to start to learn a new language than to become good at it. I’ve started to learn many new languages, such as French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Afrikaans (南非荷兰语), and so on. I can’t speak them yet, but I’ve started picking up a few words and phrases that help me when I’m visiting. Most importantly, I’ve had fun doing this.
    I’ve started to learn Italian, but I haven’t learned any Italian grammar, and when I visit Italy I’m not able to speak Italian correctly. My aim is just to communicate at a very basic level when I visit a country, to make an effort, and to show appreciation of the language and culture. I’m not trying to talk about politics or explain my views on life. I pick key or useful words and phrases that I want to learn. For example, as a visitor to another country, the key words in a foreign language are the words which will be of the most use to you and which you will use most often. These key words and phrases will vary from visitor to visitor, depending on the purpose of their trip.
    It is worth remembering that it is easier to start a task than to finish it, and the same goes for learning a new language. The better you are at it, the slower your rate of progress will be, as you have to learn grammar, words and so on. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and phrases, you will make faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time on any given language.

    1. 1.

      From the second paragraph, we can infer that ______.

      3. C.
        discussing politics or explaining one’s view requires an advanced language level
      4. D.
        it is great fun to communicate with the local people in another country
    2. 2.

      Which of the following does the writer prefer to learn?

      1. A.
        Sentence structure.
