A
Suquoyah was a young Indian, son of a white businessman and an Indian woman. At an early
age, he became interested in “ the talking leaf”, an expression that he used to refer to the white man’s records. Although many believed this “talking leaf” to be a gi ft from the Great Spirit, Suquoyah refused to accept that theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate, but his decision to change the situation led to the invention of an 86-character alphabet (字母表) based on the sound that he heard.
His family and friends thought him mad, but while he was getting back to a former state of health after a hunting accident, he set out to invent a form of communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821, after 12 years of work, he successfully developed a written language that would help thousands of Indians to read and write.
Suquoyah’s wish to invent a written language has caused him to be remembered among the important inventors. The giant redwood trees of California, called “sequoias” in his honor, will further print his name in history.

Archery (箭术) is one of the oldest sports that are
still being practiced today. The bow and arrow dates
as far back as the Old Stone Age, and is the most
widely used weapon (武器) in human history .
While there is recorded evidence of archery
competitions taking place in China more than 3,000 years ago, the modern sport of archery most likely originated in England during the 14th century. Then the sport began to develop fast and there were a few different styles of shooting, some of which developed into what we see today in the sport of archery.
There was clout shooting, in which arrows were held high into the air with the purpose of hitting a target which was laid flat, not vertical. The aim was to land the arrow as close to the target as possible. This variety of shooting is still practiced today, often with traditional bows.
“Roving marks”, another style, saw players shooting at a target, only to shoot at a new target from the location of the previous target. It is said that this is the oldest form of competitive archery, and was practiced by Henry VIII. Finally, there was butt (靶垛) shooting, in which butts held targets, which the players would shoot at. This is the ancestor of modern-day Olympic target shooting.
Archery was a part of the second Olympic Games, which was held in 1900. It was dropped after 1920, however, because rules varied too much between nations. Archery was brought back into the Olympics in 1972. This was after enough nations had formed archery governing bodies affiliated (隶属) with the Fédération Internationale de Tir l’Arc, which was founded in Paris in 1931, to standardize rules for international competitions.
From its early history to modern times, archery has always been a competitive sport. Surely, many years from now archery will continue to be a popular sport reaching across age gaps and national borders, uniting archery lovers from all over the world.
26. According to the text, archery _____.
A. was already very common in the Old Stone Age
B. could be seen around Europe in the 14th century
C. was recorded as a sport in China over 3,000 years ago
D. disappeared from the Olympics after 1920 because of war
27. The underlined word “originated” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_____”.
A. started
B. settled
C. changed
D. continued
28. What can we learn about clout shooting?
A. It can not be seen nowadays any more.
B. It is the oldest form of competitive archery.
C. Arrows have to land on the centre of a target.
D. Players should shoot at a target that lies down.
29. Which is the correct order of the following events ?
a. The earliest archery competitions took place in China.
b. Archery was a part of the second Olympic Games.
c. Archery was brought back into the Olympics.
d. Fédération Internationale de Tir l’Arc was founded in Paris.

C
Sixteen, sweet sixteen! Sweet sixteen? What ’s so sweet about this birthday? Perhaps because sixteen marks out coming of age, which is the interim period between childhood and adulthood. It is a very brief and unique stage in our lives. A time when we are becoming an adult, yet still haven’t lost our childhood innocence. The best of both words.
Actually Sweet Sixteen applies more often to girl’s 16th birthday than to boys. At that age, a girl is on the verge of becoming a woman. Picture a flower bud about to bloom, opening its face to the world for the first time. There’s a sense of beauty and sweetness to this transition. Our 16th birthday is the first day we can get our driver’s license. It is the official step towards becoming an adult. From this day forward, we no longer need our parents to drive us around, take us everywhere. Instead, we just borrow their car. Maybe that’s what makes sixteen so sweet to the boys as they eagerly celebrate this newfound autonomy(新获得的自主权). Now they can drive without adult supervision! Haa, haa!
31. Sixteen is brief and unique because _____.
A. It is a time when boys and girls are becoming adults, yet still haven’t lost their childhood
innocence.
B. It is the interim period between childhood and adulthood.
C. There is only one sixteen in our life.
D. Both A and B.
32. Girls are usually compared to _____ at the age of sixteen.
A. Flower buds
B. Pictures
C. Boys
D. Innocent children
33. Girls and boys can _____ at the age of sixteen.
A. Get more presents
B. Borrow a car and drive
C. Get driver’s license
D. Do both B and C
34. The underlined words “on the verge of ” m eans _____.
A. Standing close to
B. Away from
C. Close to
D. Near
35. This passage is extracted(摘自) from ______.
A. An advertisement
B. A novel
C. A literary essay
D. A diary

Many studies showing that laughing is good for our health but I have the same opinion. The reasons are as follows. First, laughing can help you forget worries and keep us in a good mood. As a result, we’ll have good attitude w ith life. Second, laughing can even help reduce pain, making us feeling more comfortable. Third, unless we often laugh or smile, people around us will be affected,

How are you doing?It’s been almost two months since you returned to America. I miss you a lot.
Thank you so much for what you have done to help me with my English. Now I have met with two new obstacles. The first one is that I find it difficult to learn new words by heart, and the second one is that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me some useful advice on how to memorize new words and practice speaking. I believe I can make a lot of progress in English with your help.
Come back to China for a visit whenever it is convenient for you. I am looking forward to seeing you again.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua。
