    Pingyao, located (坐落于) in the center of Shanxi Province, is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage (遗产) site. It is 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River.
    People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a county government seat (县衙) has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history. Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.
    During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks (支票) rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch (分支) banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its lacquer ware (漆器) became well known as well.
    In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi’s history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.
    In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”(世界文化遗产).

    A student walks into his first class and realizes he forgot all about the midterm exam. He knows he needs to bring his grades up, and getting a zero will make it nearly impossible. He quickly jots down some notes and shoves them under his lap hoping it will help him pass. Cheating is a major concern in all academic environments. Students are creating new and more outrageous(令人吃惊的) ways of cheating every day; some claim that certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be prevented.
    Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways students in all education levels have cheated. Some students think nothing about writing a few answers on their hand, in a gum wrapper, or boldly using a study guide to cheat. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The internet has now become available in almost every location. Computers can be accessed at school, at home, and now even on cell phones. This opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born.
    There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. The truth is this behavior will always be a matter of opinion with each scenario of cheating. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they forgot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher or professor was saying. Some may counter these arguments by saying that the student could have set reminders or asked the teacher to explain the material before the day of the test. Some other reasons students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and trying to find time for school, sports, friends, and family. This may be true in certain instances, however, all students have these problems, and it is unfair to the students refrain(制止) from cheating when the student who is dishonest receives a better grade. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that sometimes students are unaware they are cheating, there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the information is too much for the course.
    It may be difficult to accomplish, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating. These options can range anywhere from simply spreading test-takers out in a room, to expelling(驱逐) a student, which will most likely hindertheir plans of getting into another college. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage self-esteem. Another simple way to avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test. This prohibits students from getting the answers off of a neighbor's test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics.
    There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity and is never worth compromising morals and losing years worth of working towards a degree. This problem is spreading throughout America; with everyone's help, it can be stopped.
    小题1:Which is the best title of this passage?
    A．To cheat or not to cheatB．Show your opinion on cheating
    C．Debates on cheatingD．Different ways of cheating
    小题2:The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
    A．cheating through the Internet is the most basic way
    B．students who cheat in exams are cleverer
    C．millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned
    D．students cheat in exams to score better grades
    小题3:The reason that is given by most students who think cheating is understandable is that ________.
    A．they don’t understand their teachers’ words
    B．they bury themselves in a lot of homework
    C．they don’t have enough time to complete the study tasks
    D．they forget to look over the material
    小题4:What is the disadvantage of scolding the cheating students according to the passage?
    A．They may continue to cheat next time.
    B．They may be hurt mentally.
    C．They may use other cheating tactics.
    D．They may get on badly with their teachers.

    A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the   1  was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of   2   as a result of exhausted battery (无电) . Nothing could be done but to   3   in cold wilderness (荒野). It was eight hours later that day broke, and then   4   of the rescue (援救).
    It is almost   5   that he could stand （忍受）the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his   6  : “First of all, I checked up my   7     conditions and found myself not in mortal (致命的) danger. As there was no   8   to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from   9  . In this way I dozed (瞌睡) off.”
    His story put an end to my regret (遗憾) for the   10   of an exploration adventure (探险) that happened last year. A group of young men   11   to explore a mountain cave and got lost.   12   to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of   13  . Finally they felt dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the   14   people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the   15   of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to   16   themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
    Don’t you think you can compare it with   17   itself? When you meet with difficulty in life and work, you are lost in darkness.   18   you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle   19 . It seems to be a negative （消极）attitude,   20   a person who can afford to do so must have foresight (远见) as well as a great courage in the first place.

    Dolphins（海豚）are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this, they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time―at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
    Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
    There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.
    Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
    小题1:Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.
    A．live in groupsB．have large brainsC．are warm-bloodedD．have their own language
    小题2:Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
    A．Its nose.B．Its ears.C．Its mouth.D．Its eyes.
    小题3:Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?
    A．He was lonely and liked to be with people.
    B．They enjoyed playing with him.
    C．He was seriously wounded.
    D．They wanted his help.
    小题4:By telling the story of Jack, the writer wanted to show that _____.
    A．dolphins are friendly and cleverB．people are cruel to animals
    C．Jack is different from other dolphins D．dolphins should be protected by law

    No one doubts that students should study languages, maths and science in high school, but some may object to the idea that they should study art and music as well. To them, these subjects are useless for students’ future and are not worth the time and effort. In my opinion, however, it is necessary for middle school students to study art and music.
    Art and music are a precious culture legacy（遗产）, which bring us pleasure and enjoyment. Have you ever been deeply moved by Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony（第五交响曲）? Have you ever been fascinated by the colorful starry night produced by Vincent Van Gogh in his paint? Have you ever longed for the moving love between the Butterfly Lovers when you hear this well-known Chinese melody（曲调）? Art and music are not only images and sounds, but something beyond them. They are the products of passion and human wisdom（智慧）.
    Art and music help make students more creative. Artists and musicians are considered the most creative people in the world. It is because art and music sharpen their senses and provide a different perspective (视角) for them to see the world. Many great scientists benefited from art and music. Einstein, the greatest physicist in the 20th century, as well as an excellent violin player, is a good example.
    Enjoying art and music is also a good way to relax. Middle school students, who typically carry heavy burdens of study, will definitely（明确地）benefit from it.
    To sum up, art and music should absolutely be included in the middle school courses, for they can bring students pleasure and relaxation.
    小题1:According to the author, people who think art and music are useless for middle school students __________.
    A．don’t understand the value of art and music
    B．don’t know the history of art and music at all
    C．never benefit from artists and musicians
    D．know little about the trend of future education
    小题2:In paragraph 2, the author tries to argue that __________.
    A．Beethoven is one of the greatest musicians
    B．art and music help express people’s emotions
    C．art and music are precious pictures and sounds
    D．art and music bring people joy and quality life
    小题3:The example of Einstein is used to __________.
    A．show the importance of creativity
    B．prove that scientists are creative
    C．encourage students to study art and music
    D．provide students with a new way to see the world
    小题4:Which of the following is an effective way for middle school students to study?
    A． Relaxing themselves regularly while studying.
    B． Attending concerts during holidays or after school.
    C． Avoiding too much homework by studying art and music.
    D． Listening to music while studying language, maths or other subjects.
    小题5:Which of the following is used to support the writer’s opinion?
    A．Art and music help people become scientists.
    B．Art and music provide people with more opportunities.
    C．Art and music are beneficial to students in other subjects.
    D．Art and music are helpful to make students creative learners.

    It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs（微博） to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.
    Since last year, thetrend of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day.
    "We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out."
    It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."
    But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
    Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.
    -Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.
    -Never micro blog in class.
    -Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
    -Be critical(批判性的). Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.
    小题1:Students log on to their micro blogs to           .

    小题2:Micro blog made Simon      when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro blog.
    A．feel sadB．let out stress C．add pressureD．make friends
    小题3:We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can           .
    A．make kids crazy while logging on to it
    B．bring a lot of misleading messages
    C．become a window to understand young kids
    D．lead to worse communication
    小题4:Don't micro blog for           a day.
    A more than one hour    B. less than one hour   C. one hour   D. more than two hours
    小题5:Which is Wrong ?
    A．Never micro blog in class.
    B．They'll know their thoughts through micro blog.
    C．Trust all the messages on a micro blog.
    D．Be critical(批判性的)

    Sea lions and seals may swim in cold ocean water, but even they get chilly sometimes. Seeing an injured seal wrapped in a blanket at a marine(海的) mammal center gave Haley Humes and Hayley Jeffries an idea for a special Girl Scout project. They decided to make blankets to keep injured animals warm. They would give these blankets to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, California.
    “We knew we wanted to help animals,” Haley said. “We went to the center to ask questions about what they needed. They don’t have a heated floor, and all the babies crowded together to stay warm.”
    Friends since kindergarten, Haley and Hayley made 12 blankets to keep the Marine Mammal Center’s seals and sea lions warm. Using fun images like Winnie-the-Pooh, the girls took two hours to make each blanket. The first sea lion to test out a blanket looked pretty in pink.
    “It was a sick baby and really liked it,” Haley said. “It curled up in it right away.”
    “The blankets are beautiful and the animals love them!” said the Mammal Center’s Michele Hunter. “It’s nice to see children taking pride in their work and doing something to help animals.”
    During the project, the girls took dozens of pictures for the PowerPoint presentations they gave to Girl Scout leaders. Those presentations helped Haley and Hayley raise $250 to buy additional supplies the center needed.
    This was the first project the girls ever worked on and took months to plan and carry out.
    “I learned that in order to make something happen, you have to take it slowly and step by step,” Hayley said. Just as important, the girls discovered that two people really can make a difference. “Knowing you’re making a difference……with these animals is amazing,” Haley said. “It was like the animals became my new friends.”
    The Pacific Marine Mammal Center cares for sea lions and seals, as well as for other marine mammals. Since opening in 1971,the center has saved more than 5,000 injured marine mammals.
    小题1:          What does the underlined word“ chilly” in Paragraph 1 mean?
    A．Sick. B．Cold.C．Afraid. D．Bored.
    小题2:          When Haley and Hayley saw an injured seal wrapped in a blanket, they_____.
    A．decided to help animalsB．asked Girl Scout for help
    C．went to the animal center to work.D．called on others to protect animals
    小题3:          What can we learn about Haley and Hayley from the text?
    A．They raised $2,500 for the Mammal Center.
    B．They made 120 blankets by themselves.
    C．It took them an hour to make a blanket.
    D．They felt great about what they did.
    小题4:          Which of the following words can best describe the work of Haley and Hayley?

    Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia（痴呆） in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones（荷尔蒙） , U．S．researchers reported on Thursday．
    Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s（早老痴呆症）．University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans．“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy（怀孕） are protecting the brain, including estrogen（雌激素）, which we know has many neuroprotective （保护神经的） effects,” Kinsley said．
    “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview．“They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes．” Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline．
    “When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida．
    “They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain．If you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young．But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations（改变） to the brain．”
    小题1:How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
    A．Some researchers have told them．
    B．Many women say so．
    C．They know it by experimenting on rats．
    D．They know it through their own experience．
    小题2:What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
    A．Baby rats．B．Animals．C．Old rats．D．Grown-up rats．
    小题3:What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
    A．Estrogen．
    B．The hormones of pregnancy．
    C．More exercise．
    D．Taking care of children．
    小题4:“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals．” What does the sentence suggest?
    A．The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans．
    B．The experiments on the rats are very important for animals．
    C．The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans．
    D．The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals．
    小题5:Which title is the best for this passage?
    A．Do You Want to Be Smarter?
    B．Motherhood Makes Women Smarter
    C．Mysterious Hormones
    D．An Important Study
