(A）
Seeing in Stereo
Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face？The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world．
Your eyes are like two small cameras．A camera catches an image（影像)of an object and records it on film．Similarly，when you look at something，each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball．Because your eyes are set close together，they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles．Working as a team，the eyes send the images to your brain,which puts them together into a single，centered image．
Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together，which is called stereoscopic sight．This allows you to view the world in three dimensions，or 3—D．Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it．If images are coming from only one eye, however，only two of these dimensions-height and width—can be perceived．A world seen with one eye is thus two—dimensional，as in a photograph．
Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your
face．Think of other animals with this same arrangement．They are all animals that hunt，like lions and wolves．Their eyes face directly in front of them．This provides a field of sight about 180 degrees wide，which is called binocular sight．On the other hand，animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head,which Provides nearly 360—degree field of sight．In order to stay alive,they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind．However，without stereoscopic sight,they have difficulty determining how far a danger is．
With sight both stereoscopic and binocular,humans share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance．If you think it would be great to have another type of sight，perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do，think again！Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part．Besides，what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have．
1．According to the passage，an eye is like a camera because both A。

can record images B. can imagine objects
C。

provide centered images D。

work at the same height 2．Stereoscopic sight is a result of having
A。

a three-hundred-sixty—degree field of sight
B。

hundreds of eyes,all seeing parts of an image
C。

two eyes close to one another that work together
D. one eye on either side of the head，each seeing a different image 3．The underlined word “perceived’’ in Paragraph 3 means
A. set
B. taken C。

seen D. understood
4．The author implies that “seeing in stereo”
A。

is similar to the way cameras work
B。

is an ability humans are fortunate to have
C. would be better for a wider field of sight
D。

helps people to have a better sight than animals
（B）
Many Chinese parents think as long as the child is watched by people，there is no danger。

But from the start, when the child is born, he needs to communicate with others, especially the communication with parents. Many children in our country are growing up in the environment which lacks a sense of security and love. They want to get back the love lost in childhood but never catch it。

On the one hand，Chinese like saving faces; on the other hand，they want to encourage their children to be aspirants(有抱负的人）. They often say how hard somebody else is studying, how good their grades are，and what prize they get。

This comparison is the worst thing especially when they say it before many people. Each time you compare your children to others, you will only bring them much disappointment and pain。

Parents should knock at the door when they go into the room of their children. They should get permission before they move something of their children. Parents should first communicate with their children and consider their decisions。

Parents should respect their children，and
consider them as adults。

This respect should begin from changing diapers。

Before changing diapers for the children，parents should tell them. Children who do not be respected also do not know how to respect others.
Many parents have high hopes for their children，and force them to the way that they think is right，even if the kids do not fit，or do not like, such as playing the piano or going abroad。

Under this kind of pressure, children become unhappy and the quality time becomes a struggling period。

When children recall their childhood, all memories are unhappy，which is indeed the failure of some parents。

1。

The underlined pronoun “they"（in paragraph 1 )probably refers to “”
A. The families
B. The parents C。

The children D. The teachers 2。

Which of the following probably makes the child disappointed？
A。

Parents mustn’t enter the room if not permitted。

B。

Children’s decision is more important than parents’.
C。

Parents should show respect to their children.
D。

Children usually don’t know how to respect others。

3。

A。

help choose the way for their children
B. let their children choose the road of life
C. pay for their children to receive further study
D。

try their best to meet the needs of their children
4。

According to this passage we can know that Chinese children’s childhood was 。

A. unforgettable
B. unsuccessful C。

pleased D. unhappy
(C）
Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy。

For my happiness，I am grateful to so many people and lucky events, but what have guided me and supported me in my life are my physical health，healthy finances(财力），and my family's happiness.
Health comes first for me，because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health.Imagine starting a family without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health。

Clearly，good health is the first necessary for other part of one’s life。

Good health is not enough to be happy。

We still need to have money in today’s society。

Money obviously pays for basic needs of life — food, housing, clothing —but it is also necessary for other reason like the quality of our education and medical care.
Next comes the most important thing in having a happy life—our family. It provides the love, joy and support that everybody needs. I love my family with all my heart。

I get pleasure from their pleasure。

I suffer when they suffer. My family helped me get through the hard times of
entrance exams. They comforted and advised me when I had misunderstanding with my friends。

More importantly, they have been there to share in my successes in the past twenty years.
In summary (总结), all these are what I need and want in this world. As long as I stay healthy，earn enough money, and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco，California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges。

It is also one of the most visited places in the world.Vehicles（车辆）cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago。

The bridge was painted “International Orange"because that color went well with the natural surroundings。

The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area.But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color。

It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait。

The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean。

The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County，California。

Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project.Work began in 1934.Mr。

Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history
of bridge building.These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.
A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge.This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.However，11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net.Still，this was a new safety record for the time。

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937。

It extends 1280 meters across the water.The total length is 2737 meters。

It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964。

That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City.Today，the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world。
