9．If you've ever wondered how dancers would tell the story of a man and a woman's love for each other through dance moves，you should watch people dance the Rumba．（36）BAnd it is considered the most passionate （富有激情的）ballroom dance．
Like many Latin dances，the Rumba has its roots in Africa．When the Spanish first moved to the New World，they brought African slaves（奴隶）to work for them．（37）EWhen they were finished with a hard day's work，they would sometimes find the person they were in love with and dance the Rumba．（38）DThey wanted to dance the Rumba in public!
The dance slowly spread and grew in popularity．Then，in the 1930s，the famous dance teacher Monsieur Pierre saw the Rumba being danced in New York and he decided it was so exciting and interesting it should be danced in London，too．（39）AToday there are several types of Rumba people dance．Some dance a type of Rumba that is very fast and features big movements．（40）CNo matter what type of Rumba people dance，the story the dance tells is still the same：the love between a man and a woman．

A．From there，the Rumba spread across the world．
B．This popular dance is from the island nation of Cuba．
C．Others dance a slow type of Rumba and use small steps．
D． When slave masters saw this dance，they were impressed．
E．Slaves worked long hours and had very few ways to relax．
F．When the Rumba was first danced，it referred to a dance party．
G．This dance became a formal dance done in public with a partner．

8．IF you think tapping （踢踏） your feet three times a second is difficult，how about doing it 600 times in a minute？It's almost impossible．
    But for the tap dancers in Christmas Dancing Shoes，it's no problem．The show，by the Chicago Human Rhythm Project，is one of the best in the world．It ran from December 21-23 in Beijing．
    In the two hour-long show，the dancer showed off four different styles of tap dancing in a variety of settings．There was dancing in the classroom with desks and chairs，dancing on railway station platforms （站台），even mom and dad dancing in the living room!
    As with other kinds of dance，there's a right way and wrong way to do it．But each dancer adds his or her own personal ideas on things．It's this that makes it so attractive to young people．
"Dancing is so relaxing，"says dancer Doerr Mary，15，a high school girl from Texas．"You can move around just as you like．"
    Every other week she flies to North Carolina just to train．"I've been tap dancing since I was two and a half years old，"she says．"I've found I just can't stop dancing．Even when I'm sitting down，I'm tapping．My mom sometimes gets angry，"she laughs．Mary says she finds tap dancing is a good way of expressing herself．It's like，she says，"talking to my feet．"
    Mary says tap dancing has changed her life．She used to be shy，but not any more．"Knowing that I can dance in front of such a large group of people is a real confidence-booster （信心增强剂）．"

5．It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words，and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible．They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily．That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words．In fact，learning new words needn't be that difficult．（36）C 
Speak the word while memorizing it．We too often separa te the process of new words memorization from pronunciation．（37）DSaying the word to ourselves helps improve hearing memory，which helps the memory．（38）AThe more familiar we are with the word，the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life．
    Never memorize single English words．（39）FRelate the word to terms we already know，either as synonym（近义词）or antonym（反义词）．For example，the word"gargantuan"is similar in meaning to words"gigantic"，""huge"and"large"．Make a list of words："small，medium，large，gigantic，and gargantuan"．Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions．Think，"The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole"．
    Learning English words requires action．Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help．（40）GHave a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning．

A．The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and makes us familiar with the word．
B．Actually，some have given up learning new words．
C．Here are some tips to help．
D．In fact，these two can be combined and each will enhance the other．
E．Memorizing new words is very important．
F．Make as many associations and connections as possible．
G．So take action right now．

4．t seems that nowadays all the world are concerned about genetically modified foods （GM foods）．GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms，which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques．These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change．For many people，the high-tech production raises all kinds of environmental，health and safety problems．Particularly in countries with long farming traditions，the idea seems against nature．
In fact，GM foods are already very much a part of our lives．They were first put on the market in 1996．A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the US last year was the product of biotechnology，according to the Department of Agriculture．More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year．The genetic genie is out of the bottle．
However，like any new product entering the food chain，GM foods must be subjec ted to careful testing．In wealthy countries，the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from，and a supply that goes beyond the needs．In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations，the matter is simpler and much more urgent：do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks？
The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing．Last year the world's population reached 6 billion．The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy．About 400 million women of childbearing age don't have enough iron，which means their babies are exposed to various birth defects．As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency，a leading cause of blindness．
How can biotech help？Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values．Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops．Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortage is caused by crop damage attributable to drought，poor soil and crop viruses．
32．The passage mainly talks aboutC．
A．the world's food problem                    B．the development in biotech
C．the genetically modified foods               D．the way to solve food shortage
33．According to the passage，GM foodsB．
A．are not cared about in wealthy countries at all．
B．may help solve the problem of poor nutrition
C．are better than naturally grown foods in some ways．
D．can cause serious trouble in developing countries
34．The underlined sentence"The genetic genie is out of the bottle．"in paragraph 2 probably means thatC．
A．GM foods are available everywhere
B．the technology in producing GM foods is advanced
C．genetic technology has been into markets．
D．genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers
35．In countries with long farming traditions，people's attitude towards GM foods seemsC．
A．Optimistic．B．Approving．C．Disapproving．D．Unbelievable．

3．The summer I was ten，my mother decided to bring us to the world of art．My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant．What she meant was not that we could take draw ing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum．Before each visit to the museum，she made us read about artists and painting styles．It was almost as bad as being in school．Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool？
First，we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum．My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny，but I was not interested．Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age s who painted people wearing strange long clothing．We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings．I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art．
On our last visit to the museum，something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary．In it，a woman was reading to a child．The colors were soft and gentle，and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child．I couldn't stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much．
