After the coming of Europeans to the Americas,Indians were forced to change their way of life.Yet the influence of native American culture is still felt throughout the United States.
Many of the foods commonly eaten in the United States today were first grown by American Indians.Among these foods are corn,white and sweet potatoes,peanuts,pumpkins,tomatoes,and certain beans and berries.Native Americans also discovered ways to use herbs and other plants as medicines.
Native American inventions,such as canoes,ponchos and parkas (风雪衣),hammocks (吊床) and snowshoes are still in use today.Other marks of Indian culture were left in American place names.The state of Alaska,for example,takes its name from a native American word meaning “great land”.
Today nearly 1.5 million native Americans live in the United States.Some still preserve the ways of their ancestors,speaking Indian languages and keeping alive their legends,art forms,and customs.Other native Americans keep few of the old ways,but remain proud of their people’s contributions to American history.
Americans have come to appreciate the beauty of Indian crafts (工艺).Many artists find inspiration in traditional Indian designs.Many Indian values,too,have become widely held.Americans today believe that the land,air and water are precious resources (资源) that must be carefully protected.As one government official wrote recently:
We have slowly come back to some of the truths that the Indians knew from the beginning.People need to learn from nature,to keep an ear to the earth,and to refill their spirits in frequent contact with animals and wild land.
55.What does “native Americans” refer to in the passage?
A.Europeans settling in the Americas.
B.People born and living in America.
C.American Indians.
D.Ancestors of Americans.
56.What influences Americans most according to the passage?
A.Agriculture of native Americans.
B.Ancient Indian medicines.
C.Native American inventions.
D.Indian languages.
57.The underlined word “inspiration” ( in Paragraph 5 ) means________.
A.confidence B.creative ideas
C.power D.good advice
58.Which of the following best shows the Indian values?
A.Americans should preserve the ways of Indian ancestors.
B.Native Americans are still making contributions to American history.
C.The resources offered by nature should be carefully protected.
D.Native Americans knew the truths long before Americans do today.

When people get bad toothaches,they often have to eat soft,easily chewed food.When lions get bad toothaches,they eat people!That’s the conclusion of a zoologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and a dentist who works on carnivores (食肉动物).
Lions don’t normally prey on people.Every once in a while,however,a lion will go on a human-eating diet.The most famous such tragedy happened in 1898,when two lions killed and ate 135 railway workers in Kenya.
Examining the preserved skulls (骷髅) of the two big cats,zoologist Bruce Patterson and dentist Ellis Neiburger found that both animals had been suffering from several dental and jaw problems.One lion had three missing teeth and a loose,unsteady lower canine that was probably useless.Canines are pointed teeth that hunting animals use for gripping and piercing prey (刺穿猎物).
The two lions might have been so badly disabled that they couldn’t bite down forcefully,say the researchers.Consequently,the lions might have abandoned their normal,more difficult prey and turned to humans.“Humans are easy preys,”said Patterson.“We’re very slow,we don’t hear very well,and we don’t see very well in the darkness.”
The research calls their idea the Infirmity Theory.It was inspired partly by the work of Jim Corbett,a tiger hunter in India in the 1930s.Corbett was regularly called in to hunt tigers that had been dining on Indian villagers.Time after time,Patterson discovered that the killer tigers were suffering from some ill-healthy conditions.
59.The original aim of the study is to look for________.
A.ways of protecting wild animals
B.ways of treating toothaches of lions
C.when and where lions eat people
D.reasons for some lions eating people
60.The reason why lions don’t normally prey on people is________.
A.that they like wild preys better
B.they just hunt for prey at night
C.that humans are difficult to catch
D.not mentioned in the passage
61.Jim Corbett’s story is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that________.
A.tigers have the same eating habits and prey as lions
B.carnivores hunt people mostly under ill-healthy conditions
C.tigers like hurting villagers while lions like railway workers
D.wild animals swallow humans when they suffer from toothaches
62.The best title of the passage could be________.
A.A zoologist and a dentist
B.Why do some wild animals eat people
C.A discovery of the skulls of lions
D.How can health influence eating habits

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,”says Mollie Hunter.Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people.She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is.In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing.“If you aren’t telling a story,you’re a very dead writer indeed,”she says.With the chief function of a writer being to entertain,Mollie is indeed an entertainer.“I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says.“This love goes back to early childhood.I’ve told stories all my life.I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said‘Nonsense,Mollie;dear,you’ll be a writer.’So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.Thoughts of her childhood inevitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood.I’ll never go back,”she said.“Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village blacksmith at work.And that’s important,because children now know so much so early th at romance can’t exist for them,as it did for us.”
63.What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A.It should not aim at a narrow audience.
B.It should be attractive to young readers.
C.It should be based on original ideas.
D.It should not include too much conversation.
64.In Mollie Hunter’s opinion,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
A.Being poor in life experience.
B.Being short of writing skills.
C.The weakness of description.
D.The absence of a story.
65.In comparison with children of earlier years,Mollie feels that children now are________.
A.more intelligent B.better informed
C.less eager to learn D.less interested in reality
66.What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
A.To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books.
B.To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
C.To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
D.To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.

“I grew up on Jackson’s music and I still have all his stuff on my iPod.I think that Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers.His brilliance as a performance also was paired with a tragic and in many ways,sad personal lif e.”
——Barack Obama
Michael Jackson was a singer,songwriter,dancer and celebrity icon with a vast catalog of hit records and countless awards to his credit.Beyond that,he had transfixed the world like few entertainers before or since.As a solo performer,he had enjoyed a level of superstardom previously known only to Elvis Presley,the Beatles and Frank Sinatra.
Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the 80s’,and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time.
Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29,1958.The fifth and youngest son of steelworker Joe Jackson,Michael displayed a talent for music and dance from an extremely young age.His father began to organize a family musical group around his three eldest sons in 1962,and Michael joined them the following year,quickly establishing himself as a dynamic stage performer.Dubbed the Jackson 5,the group signed to Motown in 1968 and issued their debut single in October 1969,when Michael was just 11 years old.I Want You Back,ABC,The Love You Save and I’ll Be There all hit number one in 1970,making the Jackson 5 the first group in pop history to have their first four singles top the ter in 1972,Jackson had his first number-one solo single,Ben.In 1977,he met producer/composer Quincy Jones for the first time.With Jones producing,Jackson recorded his first solo album as an adult,Off the Wall.
Released in 1982,the Quincy Jones-produced Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall;the dance and rock tracks were more driving,the pop tunes and ballads softer and more soulful,and all of it was recognizably Michael.There was no
surprise that Thriller was a hit;what was a surprise was its staying power.Jackson’s duet with McCartney,The Girl Is Mine,was a natural single choice,and it peaked at number two;then Billie Jean and the Van Halen track Beat It both hit number one,for seven and three weeks respectively.
Michael Jackson died from heart disease on June 25 at age 50.
67.What does Barack Obama mean by saying “His brilliance as a performance also was paired with a tragic and in many ways,sad personal life”?
A.Michael Joseph Jackson was a success in his career as well as in life.

短文写作
In the cartoon,the man enjoys being clever and wishes to do a great job.However,regretfully,he is firmly fastened to his original position by the nature of laziness and certainly achieves nothing.
In fact,you can see many such examples in life.Just as the old saying goes,diligence leads to success,while laziness results in failure.Every task requires hard work,from learning English to building a house.Some of my classmates are definitely clever,and they have a strong desire to go to a famous university,but unfortunately,they are wasting time talking and playing.And no doubt,they will end in failure.
Therefore,in my opinion,diligence plays a very important role in life.Only by working hard and practicing a lot are we able to overcome difficulties and achieve our goals.No one can succeed just by thinking without any action.。
