    In my opinion, there is only one legitimate (合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.
    On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.
    Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.
    There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.
    People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.

    1. 1.

      In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when           .

      1. A.

      3. C.
        objects are under control
      4. D.
        objects are only small tin cans in the backyard
    2. 2.

      According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because         .

      1. A.
        hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animals
      2. B.
        state government encourages hunters to use other guns
      3. C.
        nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animals
      4. D.
        most hunters use rifles rather than handguns
    3. 3.

      This passage mainly talks about           .

        the relation between hunting and handgun control
      2. B.
        the importance of aim practice
      3. C.
        how handgun control affects hunting

        different types of guns used in hunting
    CDA

    The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life.I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos.
    "My... you're tall," he said. The whole class burst out laughing .
    “Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky(骄傲自大的) newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one , in the back of the room.
    Carlos laughed widely. "But I need a couple of dictionaries."
    The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you," he said . I looked straight ahead over the top of his black hair. "That's all right."
    "I ought to know better." He was still blocking my way. "What's your name?" "Karen Forbes." He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. " I am Carlos . I don't see why you're so touchy."
    It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Carlos was voted vice-president.“How come ?”I kept asking myself, "How come this shrimp（虾）who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
    So on that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，“It doesn't seem to bother you — being short.” He looked up at me, "Of course I mind being short.But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself." "You seem to get along great,” I admitted, "But what about me? The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…

    High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.
    Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.
    “The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma（证书），and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So， if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland："The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”
    The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory（义务的）attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.
    “As these dropouts look back，they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”
    New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point-the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.

    The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
    O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒凉的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（变白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(贫瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（贡品、颂词） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.
    O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms

    1. 1.

      Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?

      1. A.
        O’Keeffe was a distinctive modern American painter
      2. B.
        O’Keeffe was the best painter of her generation
      3. C.
        O’Keeffe liked to paint only what was familiar to her
      4. D.
        O’Keeffe used colors and shapes that are too reduced and simple

      Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings ?

      1. A.
        Her rural upbringing
      2. B.
        Her life in the West
      3. C.
        The works of European artists
      4. D.
        The appearance of the natural landscape
    3. 3.

      Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?

      1. A.
        A photoghrapher’s relationship with a model
      2. B.
        A writer’s relationship with a publisher
      3. C.
        A student’s relationship with a teacher
      4. D.
        A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer
    4. 4.

      Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer ?

      1. A.
        Her work became influential in Europe
      2. B.
        She painted the American Southwest
      3. C.
        Her paintings had a definite American style
      4. D.
        She painted things that were familiar to her

    Findings from a new study were presented at a recent meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society. Researchers in the United States studied one hundred thousand women during an eight-year period, beginning in nineteen ninety-four. All of the women were fifty years of age or older. The study was part of the Women’s Health Initiative organized by the National Institutes of Health.
    The women were asked questions that measured their beliefs or ideas about the future. The researchers identified each woman’s personality eight years after gathering the information.
    The study found that hopeful individuals were fourteen percent less likely than other women to have died from any cause. The hopeful women were also thirty percent less likely to have died from heart disease after the eight years.
    Hilary Tindle from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania was the lead author of the report. She said the study confirmed earlier research that linked optimistic feelings to longer life.
    The researchers also gathered information about people’s education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes. Independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less of a chance of dying during the eight-year period.
    Some women who answered the questions were found to be cynically hostile, or highly untrusting of others. These women were sixteen percent more likely to die than the others. They also were twenty-three percent more likely to die of cancer.
    The study also found that women who were not optimistic were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetes. They were also more likely not to exercise.
    Professor Tindle says the study did not confirm whether optimism leads to healthier choices, or if it actually affects a person’s physical health. She also says the study does not prove that negative emotions or distrust lead to bad health effects and shorter life. Yet there does appear to be a link that calls for more research.

    1. 1.

      What’s the purpose of carrying out the study?

      1. A.
        To gather information for the National Institutes of Health.
      2. B.
        To find out the relationship between women’s personality and their health.
      3. C.
        To decide who is more likely to enjoy happier life.
      4. D.
        To identify each woman’s personality 8 years after gathering the information.
    2. 2.

      What can be inferred from the passage?

      1. A.
        It’s uncertain whether optimism affects a person’s physical health.
      2. B.
        Negative emotions do cause shorter life.
      3. C.
        The connection between personality and health has been established.
      4. D.
        The more optimistic you are, the longer life you may enjoy.
    3. 3.

      According to the passage, who is more likely to die of cancer?

      1. A.
        A woman who has high blood pressure or diabetes.
      2. B.
        A woman who doesn’t exercise.
      3. C.
        A woman who has poor physical health.
      4. D.
        A woman who always doubts what others say.
    4. 4.

      Which of the following is true?

      1. A.
        American Psychosomatic Society organized the new study.
      2. B.
        Women who were optimistic were less likely to smoke.
      3. C.
        More questions were given than those measuring women’s beliefs or ideas.
      4. D.
        Hopeful women were 16% less likely to die from heart disease.

    When the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie “expert” turned him down, saying, “Can't sing. Can't act. Dances a little.” Here's another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he'd never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
    What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgements of a person's abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.
    The famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “To the stars through hardships.” Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.

    1. 1.

      Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

      1. A.
        Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.
      2. B.
        True ability will always make itself known.
      3. C.
        Some people never get discouraged    
      4. D.
        Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.
    2. 2.

      When Paderewski's teachers told him he'd never be a success, they were ______.

      1. A.
        being humorous                   
      2. B.
        cheerful, though concerned
      3. C.
        somewhat hesitant                 
      4. D.
        seriously mistaken
    3. 3.

      1. A.
        as a motto for the three men's lives
      2. B.
        to show the value of Latin
      3. C.
        to send the reader to the dictionary

    The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweller’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock.
    When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied.

    In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her free time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.
    As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip (退稿条) from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and ruined hopes can surface.
    A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?”
    “No”, she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”
    I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
    Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.
    While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.
