    School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very  41 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me  42  out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
    Janie, the  43  , tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of  44  .
    I tried to mind my manners and  45  listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,   46  , her conversation was worth listening to.
    “My father’s sick,” she said to no one in particular (专门) , I could see the  47  and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from  48  the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes   49  as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
    I was  50  . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great  51  that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and   52  is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to  53  that.
    Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was  54  her job. She had a whole world of   55  and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very  56  . I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie  57  she was a bus driver. I had  58  her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
    For all I know, I’m just another person in  59  else’s world, and may not be  60 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.

    With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
    Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
    It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
    This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
    “The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
    “They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
    小题1: The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
    A．make efforts to clone the endangered pandasB．save endangered animals from dying out
    C．collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD．transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
    小题2: According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.
    A．available panda eggsB．host animalsC．qualified researchersD．enough money
    小题3:The best title for the passage may be _______.
    A．China’s Success in Pandas CloningB．The First Cloned Panda in the World
    C．Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas D．China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever
    小题4:From the passage we know that _______.
    A．Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
    B．scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
    C．Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
    D．about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

    Not only did the students ask for changes in the list of required subjects，but they also demanded the right to choose their courses according to their own taste and future needs．No more fixed programs,no guidance from educators and professors．All they wanted was to get their degree as fast as possible and go to work．
    Although the educators didn’t all agree；a majority recognized that time had indeed changed and that education should perhaps adapt itself to the realities of modern society．Colleges and universities revised their programs to include a large number of specialized courses in business，nursing，engineering，and other professional fields．In the 1960s they also added courses requested by the students because they considered them“relevant(相关的)”(Women Studies，Revolution，or Black History)or useful(glass blowing，infant care，slow running，or family life)．The students were granted the right to choose their courses as they wished．Many traditional subjects had to be dropped，including history and foreign languages；the liberal education courses that were still useful were often neglected(忽视)by the students，who didn’t feel like working hard to learn something that was not required for graduation．
    Whether the revised programs have helped college graduates to find employment quickly is not clear．But after fifteen or twenty years of experimentation，they have raised a lot of criticism．Some of it comes from the graduates themselves,who discover that their practical knowledge is neither deep nor flexible(灵活的)．As soon as they progress to higher positions，they find that they need management training and more study in their own field．Besides，they feel disabled by their lack of general knowledge,for example，by their ignorance of the language and culture of the foreigners with whom they are doing business. Most of all they suffer from their inability to use English，their own language，easily and properly.
    小题1:The students also demanded      ，besides a change of program.
    A．the right to choose their university
    B．the right to choose their professors
    C．the right to choose their degree
    D．the right to choose their courses

    B．None of the educators agreed with them.
    C．A few educators agreed with them.
    D．A few educators disagreed with them.
    小题3:Who is it that criticized the new system of education?
    A．GraduatesB．ParentsC．EmployersD．Educators
    小题4:In the opinion of the critics，the main problems are      .
    A．the general knowledge is too much
    B．the practical knowledge is impractical
    C．they learned too much useless knowledge
    D．they are not able to use their knowledge effectively

They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut, “How could any man   40  such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous   41  most exciting.”
    The health and physical condition of the people was,  42 , very necessary. Only those in very good health and physical condition were   43 .
    While being trained to be astronauts, they went through many   44 . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks.

There helicopters landed straight down to give them some   48  of the way the spaceship would actually land on the   49 . They were also taught the known facts about the   50  in space. They learnt about all the scientists and engineers who   51  spaceships. They visited the   52 where spaceships were repaired. They learnt how every   53  of a spaceship and its instruments work.

    Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
    The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
    The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.
    小题1:The writer thinks that        .
    A．choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English
    B．dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
    C．it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly
    D．using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing
    小题2: According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
    A．Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.
    B．Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.
    C．Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.
    D．Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.
    小题3: When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?
    A．At the beginning of the reading
    B．At the end of the reading
    C．During the first reading
    D．After the first reading
    小题4: This passage mainly tells us        .
    A．that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries
    B．what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries
    C．why students should use large college edition dictionaries
    D．what dictionary students should choose and how to use it

    As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets sage. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.
    Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attracted meteor shower(流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower as well, and I would surely be run over by a car.
    Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you’ve ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see is wasted electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.
    Additionally, electricity needs to be generated, and the generation of electricity creates pollution by giving off greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
    Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny sea turtle hatchlings become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
    Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution. 
    小题1:The author tells the story in the second paragraph mainly to _________.
    A．remember the past beauty of the town.
    B．stress the advantages of less pollution
    C．show the great changes of the town
    D．prove the bad effects of light pollution
    小题2:In the passage the author advises people _________.
    A．to try to reduce unnecessary light.
    B．not to ignore the beauty around.
    C．to set proper light for animals
    D．not to destroy the animal’s living conditions.
    小题3:What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．Light pollution is difficult to deal with.
    B．Light pollution is a threat to some animals.
    C．Light pollution has nothing to do with global warming
    D．Astronauts can’t see clearly in space due to light pollution.
    小题4:What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph which follows the last paragraph?
    A．The author’s contribution to light pollution
    B．Other sources of light pollution
    C．Ways of reducing light pollution
    D．More bad effects of light pollution

    In the computer age, most of us take a broadband Internet connection for granted. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.
    There’s a catch, of course. You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all.
    Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs, it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.
    But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere. Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.
    Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication(迹象), it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.
    小题1:The underlined part “ a catch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “________”.
    A．a rare challengeB．a desirable plan
    C．an efficient deviceD．a hidden problem
    小题2:What can we know from the third paragraph?
    A．Internet connection has not been popular in most cities.
    B．Internet service providers care about rural customers.
    C．Computer is popular in developing countries.
    D．It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas.
    小题3: Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements ________.
    A．make TV and telephone available everywhere
    B．bring great change to people’s everyday life
    C．make it possible for more people to use the Internet
    D．bring faster Internet connections to users
    小题4:What may eventually settle the “last mile” problem?
    A．The broadband connection’s getting faster.
    B．More and more Internet users.
    C．More and more Internet connections.
    D．The rapid progress in cell phone technology.

    People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth.”
    For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
    Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”
    Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.
    Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.
    But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.
    小题1:In what kind of situation will a person say “Do not bad mouth me.” ?
    A．When he feels down.B．When he feels regretful.
    C．When he is spoken ill of.D．When he feels innocent.
    小题2:If a person feels sorry for what he has said, he might say “          .”
    A．Do not bad mouth me
    B．I really put my foot in my mouth this time
    C．Do not put words in my mouth
    D．Stop mouthing off
    小题3:If a person lives from hand to mouth, it implies           .
    A．he is badly – offB．he is hard – working
    C．he is well – offD．he has enough to eat
    小题4:By saying, “I have been running my mouth long enough”, the speaker means “            ”.
    A．I have run a long wayB．I have been a mouthy person
    C．I have learned a lotD．I have talked too much
