Great apes
The great ape family primarily consists of gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. Their brain chemistry is so similar to humans’ that NASA once used chimpanzees in place of ast ronauts during many dangerous missions. Gorillas have been taught sign language and orangutans exist in complex familial relationships.
Elephants
Everyone has heard the phrase “an elephant never forgets”. Elephants establish long-term friendships, recognizing and remembering their friends years later. If an elephant comes upon a fallen friend, it has even been known to feel sad.

The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded really suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金) , ” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fitted not only my lock, but my ignition(点火装置)as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess." he said.

Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname(绰号) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” be low his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.
As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.
“Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes. “Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s a free advertisement for our company. I have no reason to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?” “Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Y oung man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller. Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat everything actively because maybe our future success will begin with a small thing!”
20. What was Albert in the oil company at the beginning?
A. A customer.
B. An assistant.
C. A manager.
D. A worker.
21. Why wasn’t Albert angry at his nickname?
A. He could become famous.
B. He liked to have a nickname.
C. It could make his workmates happy.
D. It could advertise for his company for free.
22. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. It’s very important to do small things well.
B. Rockefeller asked young people to work harder.
C. You can’t get angry when someone calls your nickname.
D. You should make more advertisements for your company.
23. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. A Clever Way to Make Advertisements.
B. Albert and Rockefeller.
C. Four Dollars a Bucket.
D. The Second Board Chairman.

Darek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.
The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself and put it into an area that doesn’t repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.
Polish doctors injected (注射) the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka’s spinal cord above the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990’s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat, which couldn’t control its hand, put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system co uld be repaired was true.”
Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt—it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.
David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.
“What you’ve got to understand is that for three million paralyzed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.
24. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?
A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.
B. Cells from the nose can be easily transplanted.
C. The nervous system in the nose has more cells.
D. Cells in the nose are able to re-produce rapidly.
25. How did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?
A. The nervous system in the spinal nerves can repair itself.
B. The nerves from his ankle cured the patient of the injury.
C. The nasal cells re-produced and spread over very quickly.
D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
26. What made Professor Geoff Raisman begin to believe the nervous system can be
repaired?
A. His former study with other people.
B. His operation on a paralyzed patient.
C. His sudden thought about Christmas.
D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.
27. David Nicholls’ words suggest that _______.
A. the world will become a better and brighter place
B. paralyzed people of today have the hope of recovery
C. the report of the breakthrough will be published soon
D. researchers across the world will carry out the operation

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. 28
Tell them you love them every morning. A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.

However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 30 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 31 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 32 Seek help if you are being abused(虐待)in anyway.Parents do not have a right to harm you.

Using Garbage as a Fuel
Garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look 53 coal, petroleum, or natural gas, but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as 54 energy source. Burning garbage 55 ( be) not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States 56
(burn) garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby 57 ( build). In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city’s garbage each year. The amount of energy 58 (produce) is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil!
But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns 59 (easy) , such as food and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials 60 do not. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air. Our fossil fuel supplies are 61 (limit) .

Good morning , everyone,
I’m Li Hua. The topic of my speech is “Let’s ride bicycle”.
As is known to all, with the improvement of people’s living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport ,bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems, such as air pollution and traffic jams .
How can we solve the problems then ? As far as I am concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy –saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste ga s. What’s more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health .
Therefore, let’s take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us !
Thank you!

W: Why weren’t you at the Spanish class last night, Jack? Have you decided to give up?
M: No. I came back late yesterday and found John asleep in his chair. He’d been writing a
report all day long and he was too tired to go out again. So we gave the lesson a miss.
W: You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons recently, haven’t you? Are you losing interest?
M: Yes, I’m so. Neither I nor John has a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we
attempt to speak Spanish. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You’ve
been in Spain for hardly a month.
W: It wasn’t all that quick. We’d both studied the language before we came, and we needed a
lot of review before we came back.
M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don’t really need to learn
Spanish.
Questions:
1. Why did John miss the class last night?
2. What do we know about the man?
Text 2
M: I am having trouble with my job. Five of my colleagues and I have been working on a
project since last Wednesday.
W: Is the project too hard?
M: No, it’s not all that hard but no one is working together on it.
W: So your group is having a problem with teamwork.
M: Yes. We have to finish it before next Friday, only ten days from now.
W: No. Everyone is just doing their own separate work.
W: If your group doesn’t come together, then no one will know what has been done and what
still needs to be done.
M: But how do I get them to work together?
W: If your group does not have a leader, then you should step up and be one. M: How do I do that?
W: You should call everyone together for a meeting.
M: And then what should I do when I have them all together?
W: Let them know that this project is important, and so is working as a team to get it done.
M: Thank you for the advice. I will call everyone now and tell them we are going to have a
meeting in the morning.
Questions:
3. When must the project be completed?
4. What does the man decide to do?

W: Hi there! What have you been up to lately?
M: I have been looking for a university to apply to.
W: Really? So have I!
M: Cool! What term will you apply for?
W: For the fall semester. How about you?
M: I’ll apply for the spring semester. I need to work and earn some money in the next six
months.
W: Yeah, college can be very expensive.
M: How are you paying for college?
W: I am getting help from a bank.
M: That’s cool. So have you started filling out any university applications?
W: Yes, I have. The applications take a while!
M: They do, especially all those essays.
W: Yes, those are hard. I’m not really sure what to write about.
M: I’m glad I’m not applying until the spring, so I have more time to prepare. W: Yeah, you’re lucky you have more time. So do you plan to rent a room near the university
you go to?
M: Yes, I plan to rent a room near the university and find a roommate to share
the cost, so I can
save some money.
W: Oh, really? My friend Jack wants to do that too. If you’re in the same area, perhaps you
could rent a place with him.
M: Oh, that’s wonderful! Could I get his contact information from you?
W: Sure. I’ll give you his phone number right now.
M: Thanks!

Baseball is a sport that began in the eastern United States in the 1800s. It became known as the
“national game”. Baseball has influenced America’s popular culture a lot. Many songs have been written about baseball. There are more than 1000 songs about baseball. The most popular one is “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”, written in 1908 by Jack Norworth. People still sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”during baseball games.
