A
My mother had come to teach in the island school and fell in love with my father. What my father needed were sons. What my mother gave him were girls. Twin girls! I was older than my sister by a few minutes. I always treasure the thought of those minutes. They were the only time in my life when I w as the center of everyone’s attention. From the moment Caroline was born, she drew all the attention to herself. When my mother and grandmother told the story of our births, it was mostly of how Caroline had refused to breathe. "But where was I?" I asked my mother. "In the basket," she said, "Grandma dressed you and put you in the basket."
Caroline’s true gift was her voice. Our teacher, Mr. Rice, said she should have singing lessons. I was proud of my sister, but something began to hurt me under the pride. As time went on, I suffered more and more deeply.
Later, I became a nurse-midwife, the person who helps deliver（给……接生） babies.
I went to a town called Truitt, where there were no doctors then. People there were usually slow to accept outsiders, but they needed my skills for all their medical problems.
One night, I was helping with the birth and I guessed twins. The first baby -- a boy came easily. But the second baby -- a girl came head first and blue as death.
The kitchen was slightly warmer than the bedroom, so I laid the second baby on some cloth on the door of the oven. Then I suddenly asked, "Where is the other twin?" In my concern for his sister, I had completely forgotten him. "He’s sleeping in the basket," said the grandmother. "You should hold him," I said, "and let his mother look after him!"
1. Why did Caroline draw all the attention after her birth?
A. She was so lovely.
B. She needed first aid.
C. She breathed weakly.
D. She was the last to come.
2. What was Caroline’s strong point?
A. She was kind to others.
B. She studied fairly well.
C. She was good at singing.
D. She got along well with others.
3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Truitt used to lack medical services.
B. The small town Truitt welcomed strangers.
C. The author went to Truitt to learn to deliver babies.
D. People in Truitt had many medical problems.
4. Why did the author put the second baby in the kitchen?
A. The temperature there was a little higher.
B. It was convenient to rescue the baby there.
C. The space was big enough to care for the baby.
D. There were some other things she needed.
B
It’s a warm summer afternoon. You’re cooking up the catch of the day over a campfire. Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms, and before you know it, the sky is opened up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do? Your tent is close by and would offer shelter(躲避处) from the pouring rain. There’s a campsite(营地) picnic shelter a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What’s your safest choice to make sure you and your families are safe?
It’s a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they are camping during summer months. Heading to your car is almost always the safest choice. Your tent and a picnic shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightening. Your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightening strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightening strikes is very important; lightening kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, you’ll be able to return to your campsite safely.
Of course, if you’re backpa cking(背包旅行), not car camping, and you’re deep in the woods, your car won’t be a good choice. So, what should you do if your car is far away and there’s no other safe shelter nearby? First, you’ll have to make sure that tree limbs or other objects don’t fall on you or your campsite. Then you’ll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightening, or flash flood conditions. What else should you do?
5. The writer’ s purpose is to tell us ______.
A. what camping is
B. how to camp safely
C. car camping is the safest way when camping
D. how to survive a storm when camping
6. To avoid lightening in a storm, you’d better ______.
A. go into your tent quickly
B. cook up the catch of the day over a campfire
C. get into your car and return to your campsite
D. run into a campsite picnic shelter at once
7. From the last paragraph we can infer ______.
A. when camping, learning to protect oneself is very important
B. people should never camp deep in the woods
C. backpacking is not a good choice for campers
D. people should not go camping alone
8. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Campers like car camping best.
B. Lightening is a danger for campers.
C. Young people like backpacking best.
D. Camping during summer months is the most popular.
C
Some people think they have an answer to the problems of automobile（机动车）crowding and pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or “bike”.
In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown（市中心） section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanes(车道) for bicycle on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks they are a good idea. Taxi drivers don’t like the idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the m ain streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest open space in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown(市中心). Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.
9. Some people founded Bike for a Better City because ______.
A. there are no bikes in New York City now
B. they wanted to reduce the traffic and pollution
C. there are no bike lanes in New York City now
D. traffic has been too slow
10. Some people are against the idea of bicycle lanes because they think ______.
A. they will not reduce the traffic
B. there will be traffic accidents
C. they will make traffic less and slower
D. traffic moves slowly in bike lanes
11. Which is the best possible title for the passage?
A. The safest place for bicycle riders.
B. Special lanes to a greener
city.
C. Fight for a better environment.
D. Less traffic, greener city.
12. What is the attitude of the author towards painting bike lanes?
A. Welcome.
B. Negative.
C. Surprised.
D. Neutral(中立的).
D
Science can’t explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people—half of them pet owners—while they performed 5 minutes of mental calculation or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets di d it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to normal heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average(平均), people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight.
Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall—mostly with their dogs—and found it worth doing.
13. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. How pets hel p people calm down.
B. What pets bring to their owners.
C. People’s opinions of keeping pets.
D. Pet’s value in medical research.
14. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?
A. They have lower blood pressure.
B. They become more patient.
C. They are less nervous.
D. They are in higher spirits.
15. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _______.
A. he has a pet companion
B. he has less stress of work
C. he often does mental calculation
D. he is taken care of by his family

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Public Speaking Training
●Get a coach
16 , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when decidi ng the training that’s right for you.
●Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects(方面) of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 17 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
●Refuse too many rules

and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
19
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 20 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.
A. You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Try to be a special person not a copied one
D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E. Wherever you give a presentation, public speaking is important but difficult
F. The one thing you don’t want is for t hem to fall asleep
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you have difficulty in learning Chinese. I know that you are worried about it. So here are a few pieces of my suggestions.
First, you can join the Chinese club in your school, where you can practice oral Chinese with Chinese people. It is very helpful. Second, read Chinese aloud every day. It is a good way for you to improve your pronunciation. If you have good pronunciation, you will find Chinese very interesting. Third, speak Chinese in your daily life as much as possible. You can speak Chinese to your friends, your teacher or your classmates. Don’t feel ashamed of making mistakes.
I hope you will have fun learning Chinese. Good luck.
Yours,
Li Hua
