13、阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred (同类的) spirits. "He’s a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful. "Maybe you’r e only seeing him with your eyes." She was silent for a moment and then added softly, "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her. "You’re quoting (引用) that! It’s from The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery’s book for children, one of my f avorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded. "I love it. I’ve read it so often. I’ve practically memorized it."
Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie —more than anyone I know —possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
From that m oment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn’t that I didn’t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life —things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth-grade problem child. One day I was at my wit’s end. "What he ne eds is a good beating!" I exploded.
"He’s probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy. Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her has become one of my happiest memories.

15、THREE CENTURIES OF HOAXES(骗局;恶作剧)!
A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary(匈牙利)built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It made people all over Europe happy and beat nearly everyone it played against .including famous people like French leader Napoleon Bonaparte, and scientist and inventor Yenjamin Franklin. For years, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine. There were people who said it was a hoax, but could not prove it or explain how it worked. About 85 years later, the secret was finally found. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time... who was very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE(逃脱)
On November 9, 1874, New York newspaper, The Herald, ran a terrible story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people hurt. It warned everyone to stay at home to avoid the
danger. Many people in New York were terrified, and did as the paper said. If only they had read the final words of the article, which said; "Not one word of it is true. Not a single act described has taken place." It was just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, aneditor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.

16、People sometimes say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.
During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.
There are other reports of strange “rains” failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.
Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龙卷风) has picked up the
animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of birds’ blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn (撕碎) to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!
1．（小题1）What does it mean when people say, “It’s raining cats and dogs”?
A．Cats and dogs are falling from the sky.
B．It’s raining heavily.
C．Animals started to fall to the ground.
D．There is a black cloud.
2．（小题2）Which of the following has not been reported as strange things failing from the sky?
A．Cats and dogs. B．Worms and insects.
C．Fish and blood. D．Snakes and frogs.
3．（小题3）According to scientists, what can move things from the ground to the sky?
A．Storms. B．Rains.
C．Clouds. D．Tornadoes.
4．（小题4）Scientists’ explanation for rain of blood is that ________.
A．the tornado picked up the birds’ blood
B．there were no strong winds that day
C．flying birds were torn into pieces by strong winds
D．those birds were bleeding while flying

When a computer works on a group of programs, it can get very hot. Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.
Large Internet companies (公司) such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems (系统). These systems send the heat into the air.
A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a specialdevice—the e-Radiator.
Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool
their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.
“We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free,”Boaz says.
Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the compute r more, the e-Radiator producers more heat, ”he says, “It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.” But he is ready to try it. It’s a great help for his family.
The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 2℃. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year.
1．Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer ______.
A．is sent into the air B．helps the five homeowners
C．is used twice D．makes the computer work better
2．The e-radiator is mainly used _____.
A．to drive the computer B．to help Microsoft
C．to heat the computer D．to provide heat
3．The Chinese meaning of the word “device” in this passage is probably “____”.
A．节能B．实验
C．仪器D．开关
4．The best title of the passage may be “_____”.
A．An Environment Problem B．A New Way to Heat Homes
C．The Future Computers D．The Energy to Be Wasted

19、How to improve learning efficiency
In my class, some of my classmates have asked me how to study bet ter. They often say, “why aren’t my grades improving even after I study harder?” In my opinion, it has to do with learning efficiency.
First, some students spend a lot of time on other things, including computer games and TV programs. Although they always finish their homework on time, they don’t do it carefully. Second, some students stay up late studying. They might only have five hours left for sleeping. Because they’re so sleepy, they can’t pay their full attention in class. How can they improve if they don’t get enough sleep?
My suggestion is that students should use their time wisely. If you cannot control yourself, you’d better ask your teachers or parents for help. They can help you make a plan.
If you follow the suggestion and take action, I believe your learning efficiency will be greatly improved.。
