Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer, navigator (航海家), and mapmaker. He explored much of eastern Canada and became known as the “Father of New France”.

Born into a family of sailors, Champlain, while still a young man, began exploring North America. In 1603, he sailed up the SaguenayRiver and the St. Lawrence River. From 1604 to 1607 Champlain joined in the exploration and settlement of the first permanent (永久的) European settlement north of Florida. Then, in 1608, he established the French settlement that is now Quebec City. He also made the first accurate (精确的) map of the Canadian coast.

Champlain spent most of the rest of his life going between France and Canada. His goals were to map North America and find a quicker way to get to the Pacific Ocean.

In 1629 Quebec was controlled by the English and Champlain was taken to England as a prisoner. When Canada was returned to France in 1633 Champlain returned to Canada as governor of Quebec and remained in Quebec until his death on Christmas Day in 1635.

Champlain was the first European to explore and describe the Great Lakes, and published maps of his journeys and reports of what he learned from the natives and the French living among the natives. Champlain was memorialized as the “Father of New France”, and many places and streets in North America use his name. The most famous of these is Lake Champlain, which lies between northern New York and Vermont.

COLUMBIA, SC — Students at the Columbia Jewish Day School have been pouring through the pages of a new book circulating (传阅) at school. The youngsters are the main characters in the book that shares stories about greeting newcomers, helping others in wheelchairs, reaching out to the lonely and performing various other acts of kindness. And this story’s ending has yet to be penned.

The school has been planning “Columbia’s Book of Kindness” for the past year. The 1,000-page, hardcover book was designed by Columbia Jewish Day School educator Jane Muller. Since last February, students and community (社区) members have been encouraged to write down acts of kindness in the book they have shown to others or have received.

“When you turn the pages, you’ll see some wonderful things going on,” said Muller, who founded the school 21 years ago with her husband Rabbi Meir Muller.

Muller, a poet and book artist, said the book offered her the chance to use her art to bring something meaningful to the community. She said she hopes to help young people in particular understand the importance of making a difference where they are, rather than just looking to other acts of kindness.

Those lessons appeared to be catching on at school in recent days, as a group of students shared some of their stories with each other. Eight-year-old Will Obradovich shared how he had helped his neighbors with their pet, while ten-year-old Samantha Beckmer designed a page showing how she believes a community should care for its people, the animals and the environment. “When we spread the kindness book around, it will encourage more people to be kind,” Samantha said. Ten-year-old Jack Lamey said the stories shared in the book have inspired  (激励) him to look for new ways to be kind to others.

“Columbia’s Book of Kindness” will be circulated to various places in the community in the coming months of 2014. At each stop, people will be invited to share their stories about kindness through poetry, drawings and photographs. The goal is to fill the 1,000 pages before the book is officially presented to the city.

“Let your story inspire others,” Jane Muller said. “Let others inspire you. It’s Columbia’s book.”

59. Jane Muller designed the book to _____.

A. inspire acts of kindness   

B. protect the environment

C. encourage creative writing   

D. improve students’ writing skill

60. We can infer from Jane Muller that _____.

A. good deeds should be kept secret

B. community members should care for the youth

C. it is important to do good around us

D. community education depends on everybody

61. According to the text, the book _____.

A. was finished last February

B. was written by students

C. was thin and expensive

D. was popular at school

62. Who learned a lot from the book?

A. Samantha Beckmer.          B. Rabbi Meir Muller.

C. Will Obradovich.              D. Jack Lamey.

The argan forest in Morocco, northwest Africa, is a very special place. The trees help to stop the spread of the desert. It takes between 40 to 60 years for an argan tree to become an adult. And scientists say that the tree may live for 200 to 400 years. But this long growing time can be a problem. When someone cuts down an argan tree, it takes a very long time for another one to grow and replace it.

The women in Morocco make a special product from the trees: argan oil. They gather the fruit from the ground. Then, they take the seeds (籽) out of the fruit. When these seeds dry, they pound them between two stones to remove the oil.

In the past, the women produced argan oil to use in cooking, on their skin, and to treat sicknesses. In the 1990s people in Europe began to learn about the special qualities of the oil, so the production of argan oil started to change. Many companies in the West moved to Morocco and used chemicals (化学物质) to get the oil out of the seeds, pushing out the native people and also making the argan forest suffering.

So the Moroccan government started to help fix this problem. First, they talked to UNESCO. In 1998, UNESCO recognized the argan forest as a special place that the world will protect. The second step was to encourage the women in Morocco to form cooperatives (合作社). And the European Union declared that argan oil must be produced by these cooperatives.

Today there are over 50 argan oil cooperatives run by women in Southwestern Morocco. These cooperatives not only give women a way to help support their families but also care for the existing forest and plant more argan trees. They make sure that the argan forest will exist for many more generations. Argan oil is more than just something to eat or rub on your skin. It is a product that makes a difference.

63. What’s good about the argan tree?

A. It stops the soil from blowing away.   

B. It can live in a very wet place.

C. It has a short growing time.

D. It doesn’t break easily.

64. Why did the Western companies go to Morocco?

A. To learn from the Moroccan women.

B. To learn about the argan tree.

C. To trade with the natives.

D. To produce argan oil.

65. Why does argan oil make a difference?

A. It helps the people in Morocco.

B. It helps the world get to know Africa.

C. It helps the women get their equal rights.

D. It helps improve Morocco’s international position.

Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways. The WHO released (发布) five simple rules for preparing food in a safe way. They call these rules the “Five Keys to Safer Food”.

Key 1: Keep clean

 66 . People should wash their hands often — before touching food and while they are preparing food. People should wash all surfaces and equipment used for preparing food.

Key 2: Separate raw (生的) and cooked

Raw foods should not touch prepared foods.  67 .

Key 3:  68

People should cook eggs and meat especially carefully. These foods may carry more micro-organisms (微生物) than other foods. Food like soup must be boiled for at least a minute to make it be cooked completely. It is also important that people re-heat cooked food completely.

Key 4: Keep food at safe temperatures

When people are finished with eating, they should keep the left food in a refrigerator below 5oC and shouldn’t store it for too long. At room temperature, about 20oC, the amount of micro-organisms can increase very quickly. But temperatures above 60oC or below 5oC control the growth of micro-organisms.  69 .

Key 5: Use safe water and raw materials

 70 . Damaged or old food may develop harmful chemicals as it gets older.

A. Eat healthily

B. Cook completely

C. They can live where we make food

Winners of the third Healthy Lunchtime Challenge came to the White House on Friday, July 18, for a Kids’ State Dinner hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama. They all came from America for a meal that featured a selection of kid-created recipes (食谱).

       Mrs. Obama told the winners and their parents that they set a strong example. The First Lady advised winners to “pay it forward” like last year’s winner fromDelaware, 10-year-old Braeden Mannering. He helped the homeless get food and clean water.

President Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at the event. He spoke about the First Family’s favorite food. “You guys are leaders in your schools,” the president told the kids, “and you’re helping to teach people the importance of good nutrition (营养), the importance of putting good food in your bodies so that you’re living healthy, active lives.”

The Healthy Lunchtime Challenge was open to young people between the ages of 8 and 12 and their parents. The competition received about 1,500 recipes. They were judged in the first round on nutritional value, taste, creativity and affordability, and the story behind the recipe. Chefs then prepared the recipes in a second round of judging. The winners were chosen by a group of judges that included great chefs and nutritionists, etc.

Before heading for the White House, the winners and their families visited the National Museum of American History to see the Food exhibit and received healthy breakfast bags from the Walmart Foundation.

Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams (阻塞) and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a scheme (计划) to improve the situation.

Under the Velib scheme (‘Velib’ comes from véloliberté, or ‘bicycle freedom’) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, ‘These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle — they’ll still use their cars.’

A city spokesman said, ‘The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.’

25. What can we learn about the Velib scheme?

A. Its bikes have no baskets.

B. Its bikes are light and colorful.

C. It aims to make traveling easier.

D. It owns more stations than the subway.

26. If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay _____.

A. €1                           B. €30            

C. €29                         D. no money

27. Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?

A. The cost is rather high.

B. It’s hard to find a Velib station.

C. It’s not suitable for a long journey.

D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.

28. What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle scheme?

A. Doubtful.             B. Positive.

C. Uncaring.             D. Worried.

C

At any given time, there are thousands of pairs of shoes in the Share Your Soles storehouse in the South Side Pullman neighborhood. They come from churches, schools and men’s and women’s clubs all over the country.

There is seldom a shortage of shoes, said Director Mona Purdy, but she can’t always say the same for the money that will allow them to get where they’re needed. “Shoes are step one,” Purdy said. “But shoes don’t get boxed and shipped without money.” So, Purdy said, she is giving an open invitation to the society to support the organization’s yearly fundraiser (资金筹集活动). It will take place this year on Thursday, Sept. 18, at Burnham Park Yacht Club, from 6 to 10 p.m.

Set up in 1999 by Purdy, Share Your Soles has given out more than two million pairs of new and gently used shoes to men, women and children in developing countries throughout the world. Purdy first learned of the crying need for shoes during a trip to Central America, where she saw children painting tar (沥青) on the bottom of their feet so they could run a race at a festival in their village. She later met a visiting American doctor who told her there would be less need for him to cut off the infected (被感染的) legs of the children in the area if they had shoes to wear. Since then, Purdy has started to help people with this basic need.

While many charities (慈善团体) may share the same work, Purdy said, Share Your Soles is different in its way of giving. She insists that receivers perform an act of kindness before they are able to choose a pair of shoes to wear.

Despite (尽管) working 90 hours a week, Purdy said, her love for Share Your Soles remains strong. “This is my life,” she said.

29. What is the main problem for Share Your Soles?

A. It is short of money. 

B. It receives fewer shoes.  

C. It has no place to store shoes. 

D. It is little known by the public. 

30. According to the text, Share Your Soles _____.

A. was created by a group of church members

B. has helped a large number of people

C. opens from 6 to 10 p.m. every day

D. is at Burnham Park Yacht Club

31. What did Purdy learn from the visiting American doctor?

A. A local tradition of painting tar on feet. 

B. The serious effects of having no shoes.

C. The common diseases of poor children.

D. An important festival in Central America.

32. Those who want to receive shoes from Share Your Soles should _____.

A. pay a little money                  B. be young children 

C. be a charity worker               D. do a good thing first

D

These days we mostly hear news about animals being endangered. So a conservation (保护) success story is certainly one to celebrate. Researchers have recently noted that Californian Blue Whales have been making a comeback!

Blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived on the earth. They have been on the list of endangered animals for a while now. Humans hunted blue whales more than 100 years ago, and the animals almost die out. It is only recently that some of their cousins are returning. It has been found that there are now about 2,200 Californian Blue Whales today — nearly 97% of the original (原先的) population, before humans started whaling. 

Blue whales can live up to about 80 to 90 years. They are also one of the loudest animals on the earth. They make noises that other whales can hear, up to 100 miles away. They spend winters in warm waters to give birth and travel to the Arctic (北极的) seas during summer in search of food. 

Long ago, blue whales used to be plentiful in the oceans and numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Now, there are only 10,000 to 25,000 of them worldwide. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people would hunt whales for their organs (器官). Japan and Russia were among the best-known whaling nations. They hunted whales for food, clothing and other valuable products. Over-hunting caused the whale population to become smaller.

Conservation efforts of the last few years have certainly paid off. These include efforts to stop catches and increased monitoring of whales’ living places. Saving blue whales cannot be a local effort; it will need everybody around the world to come together. 

33. Recently, Californian Blue Whales _____.

A. are increasing in number

B. are becoming endangered

C. are being hunted by the locals    

D. are a lot thinner than other whales

34. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _____.

A. the history of whaling

B. the value of blue whales

C. the difficulties of hunting blue whales

D. the reason why blue whales became endangered

35. Conservation work on whales in the past few years can best be described as _____.

A “pen name” is not a writer’s real name. It is a name that a writer chooses.  36  Some writers simply want to hide their real names. Other writers use pen names because they think readers will better accept their writings. So, writers may change their names to be more like what readers expect. Other times, writers use pen names because they write about disputed (有争议的) ideas.  37 

For much of history, most books have been written by men. Often, women’s books were not well liked or popular.  38 

When they did publish (出版) stories written by women, the stories were usually love stories. But they seldom published women’s stories about culture, politics and social topics.  39 

This was true of Mary Ann Evans. Mary Ann Evans wrote one of the most famous books in the English language: Middlemarch. But Evans’ name does not appear on the book’s cover. Instead, the cover has her pen name on it — “George Eliot.”

 40  Rowling changed her name to hide her sex to sell more books. But Evans used a male (男性的) name because she did not think people in 19th-century England would listen to her ideas because she was a woman.

Apart from George Eliot and J.K. Rowling, women from all over the world have used male pen names. And today, some female writers continue to use them for the very same reasons.

A. Evans has written a lot of books about culture.

B. Writers use pen names for many different reasons.

C. By using a pen name, they protect themselves from trouble.

D. So, women who wrote about these topics changed their names.

E. For example, some kinds of books are written mostly by one sex.

F. In 19th-century England, many publishers would not consider printing a book written by a woman.

G. Evans used a pen name for a very different reason from the famous writer J.K. Rowling, whose real name is Joanne Rowling.

Dear friends,

Some students in our school prefer eating fast food and others often skip breakfast, which is bad for our health. 

Fast food is considered to be junk food because they don’t provide enough of the nutrients we need in a day. The negative effects of skipping breakfast can also be serious. Experts say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, without which our body cannot function properly.

Let’s develop a healthy lifestyle from now on. Remember: eat meals on time, have a balanced diet and take exercise regularly. 

We are what we eat. Let’s take good care of ourselves in order to keep fit.

 第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

While researching one of the books, I came across a story of an 11-year-old Dutch boy who had climbed up on top of a life raft (救生筏) after his ship was attacked in 1942. The raft drifted off (漂走) into the night and was never seen again. I was taken by the story of the event and thought about the possibility of using it in a novel later on.

Over the next ten years, 1957 to 1967, the boy on the raft was never far away from my mind. Finally, I decided to bring that boy back to life from the dead. I thought the key to the story might be the “rescuer” — hopefully someone who knew the Caribbean Sea, who’d sailed it for a long time.

This man came to me in the form of an old black man named Robert, who couldn’t read or write, yet he was one of the wisest men I’d ever talked to. He became “Timothy” of The Cay. He knew more about the Caribbean than anyone I’d been around.

I didn’t know any Dutch boys and refuse to write about people or places that I don’t know about. So I came up with Phillip, a boy with whom I’d played from about the age of five until I was ten. Mostly, I remembered Phillip for one thing — his deep anger and distrust of black people.

So I thought it would be an interesting situation if I placed the prejudiced (有偏见的) Phillip on that life raft with a black man upon whom his very life would depend. Then I blinded Phillip purposely, hoping he’d be color-blind before the story was over; hoping he’d learn something about the tragedy of racial prejudice.

51. What happened to the Dutch boy?

A. He was lost at sea on a raft.

B. He was rescued by the author.

C. He was attacked by a black man.

D. He made a raft to sail the Caribbean.

52. Who was the model of Timothy in The Cay?

A. The author.     B. The Dutch boy.            C. Robert.                        D. Phillip.

53. We can learn from the text that Phillip _____.

A. was a blind man  

B. was a very interesting man

C. knew the Caribbean very well

D. was the author’s childhood friend

54. The text is mainly about _____.

A. a Dutch boy

B. a trip to the Caribbean

C. how the author came to write The Cay

D. why it took the author so long to write The Cay 

B

“Hello” is a relatively new greeting. It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do?”  

Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someone’s attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, “Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”

Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didn’t have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir?” or “What is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem: Since telephones didn’t ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line”? The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn’t catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.

“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.

55. Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared?

A. It was too informal.   

B. It was hard to pronounce.     

C. It was considered to be rude. 

D. There were other words like “hello”.

56. “Hullo” was used to show something _____.

A. interesting                    B. exciting          C. boring                  D. unexpected

57. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.

A. how “hello” was used to answer the telephone

B. the friendship between Bell and Edison

C. the invention of the telephone

D. how the telephone improved

58. We can infer from the text that _____.

A. “hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was invented

B. the telephone has changed the way people speak

C. people liked simple expressions like “hello”

D. Bell advised girls to use “hello”

C

With regard to extreme sports, the general public think that people who choose to take risks are irresponsible. While extreme sports do not attract the masses, there are still a large number of people to whom these activities are an important part of their lives. It is our differences that make a society interesting, so while it may not be for everyone, high-risk activities contribute to the diversity (多样性) of our culture. As author, outdoorsman, and IdahoStateUniversity teacher, Ron Watters explains in his essay “The Wrong Side of the Thin Edge”, everyone needs a little adventure. But some people need more than the normal forms of life’s excitement and take it one step further, joining in high-risk activities, where as the great American mountaineer WilliUnsoeld once said, “It has to be real enough to kill you.”

Marvin Zuckerman, a psychologist at the University of Delaware notes that people who take extreme sports do take risks, but there are far more dangerous “highs” they could be seeking. Rock climbing and mountain biking offer a high that can only be achieved through self-discipline (自律), hard work, and a healthy lifestyle.

Take for example an extreme mountain biker who is prevented from mountain biking. If he likes risk-taking behaviour, it might not be long before he is gambling (赌博) as he seeks his next “high.” Gambling addiction (上瘾) can quickly destroy a person, break up families and lead to health problems.

It is easy for the health problem to be overshadowed by the greater problems like addiction, but it should be of particular concern to the public. Consider the kids in the skateboard park. Without the park, they might choose to play video games which have proven links to obesity. The long-term costs related to treating obesity are far greater than the cost of setting a few broken arms and repainting a few fences.

Instead of avoiding and discouraging extreme athletes, we should celebrate them for their differences and do what we can to support them. As the essayist T.S. Elliot once said, “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

59. Who thinks forbidding extreme sports may result in other greater dangers?

A. T.S. Elliot.         B. Ron Watters.   C. Marvin Zuckerman.     D. Willi Unsoeld.

60. The example of gambling is to show _____.

A. it leads to health problems

B. it has a bad effect on self-discipline

C. it causes great harm to one’s family

D. it carries greater risk than extreme sports

61. The underlined part “be overshadowed by” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ _____”.

A. be considered less important than

B. be more worrying than

C. be closely followed by

D. be compared to

62. What’s the author’s attitude towards extreme sports?

A. Concerned.                   B. Positive.           C. Uncertain.             D. Negative.

D

The morning of March 2, 2012, was a busy one for the students in Mrs. Goodknight’s class in Henryville, Indiana. There was morning meeting with poems to read, jokes to share, and tests to prepare for. “It was just an ordinary day,” says student Lyric Darling, 12.

At noon, while students played basketball under a sunny sky, a huge tornado (龙卷风) was forming 50 miles away. Around 2:25 p.m., 20 minutes before school was supposed to let out, a huge tornado touched down in Fredericksburg, 20 miles away. As word spread, parents rushed to the school. Teachers rushed to get kids onto buses or into waiting cars. By 2:45, the skies were darkening.

“I was crying,” says Lyric. “All around me, kids were crying.” Two buses returned to the school with students whose parents had not been home. Teachers brought the kids to the office, where they all took cover under desks. Suddenly the power went out. And then the tornado attacked the school, filled with wood and trees and glass. The tornado was over the school for less than one minute. In that time, it almost completely destroyed the school. Teachers were about to lead the group out of the office when a second tornado was upon them. When it finally ended, the group made its way out of the building.

Over the next few hours, parents arrived, overjoyed to find their children. The next day, it was clear: All of Henryville’s people were safe.

There were so many sad and frightening stories. Some students saw the tornado with their own eyes. Some lost their homes. But many described how the community (社区) came together to help and support each other. “You learn what’s important,” Mrs. Goodknight says.

63. When did the tornado hit the school?

A. In the morning.          B. At noon.        C. Around 2:25.           D. After 2:45.

64. What did the teachers do in the face of the tornado?

A. They asked all the students to take cover under desks.

B. They told parents to wait for their kids at home.

C. They sent all the students to their homes.

D. They helped the students get on buses.

65. We can learn from the text that the tornado _____.

A. got many students killed

B. caused great damage to the school

C. lasted for a few minutes

D. made the community feel hopeless

       Last weekend, we tried fishing on school trip. As soon as we had arrived at the pond, I made preparations for it, including fishing tool and food to attract fish. Like other classmates, leaving the pond or chatting to each other from time to time, I fix my eyes on the water. After a while, I felt anything biting the end of my line, so I started to pull them out of the water. It was heavier than I had expected, but I lost my footing, fall right into the pond! That was my first fishing experience, a happier but embarrassing experience.

One possible version:

I highly agree with what Benjamin Franklin said. Money cannot make us happy.

As far as I know, many wealthy people around me don’t live a happy life. Instead, they are bothered by all kinds of problems that money has brought to them.

We must admit that we all need money to meet our basic needs. And it is true that money is useful in helping us to live comfortably. However, money can’t bring us friendship and love, which are of great importance to our life. In fact, it is what we can do for others that makes us happy.

Unit 4 Body language单元测试题

第二部分： 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Day 1

I first heard of “Show Racism (种族歧视) the Red Card” when my friend Jill asked me to support their work. Basically, it’s an organization which uses professional (职业的) footballers to help fight racism in sport and society. A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them. I thought he probably meant for me to give money or do some voluntary work. But then he told me that a group of about 20 people were getting sponsored (赞助) to play the highest ever game of rugby (橄榄球) at 5,140 meters on Mount Everest.

Day 4

We’re making our way up to the base camp — that’s where most climbers start their final climb to the top — and then, we’ll play our game. Today we started out at 8 am. We had to cross three suspension bridges (悬索桥). One of them was so high that you couldn’t see the bottom. Then we walked through some beautiful forest areas before we started a two-hour uphill hike to Namche Bazaar.

Day 10

Base camp is basically just a lot of stones and tents. The walk up was really exhausting. Maybe if I was fitter, I wouldn’t find this so hard, but then it was not just me — all of us got very short of breath.

Day 11

Today we played our game. It was supposed to be a “friendly” game, and last night, we had agreed we’d just walk and not run. However, it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off. We only played for 14 minutes. I think someone would have got hurt if we’d played any longer! My team won and I scored the last try! Of course, none of this matters. What’s really important is that we did it and we’ve raised a load of money.

21. The first time the author was asked to do something for Jill’s work, he _____.

A. got a big shock

B. accepted his request

C. looked down upon Jill

D. spread the news to 20 people

22. What can we learn about the game of rugby on Mount Everest?

A. It got little attention.

B. It was a bit competitive.

C. It ended because someone was injured.

D. It was held on the top of Mount Everest.

23. The author’s trip to Mount Everest can be described as _____.

A. frightening and fruitless

B. relaxing and interesting   

C. hard but successful

D. short but fantastic

B

Jolly Joe always arrived at my neighborhood at exactly half past noon. The clang (叮当声) of the bell on his red and black truck was then the sweetest sound in the world. Brightly colored stickers advertising his amazing kinds of treats could be found on all sides of his truck. The whole neighborhood would magically come to life.

Holding a nickel (五分镍币), I’d run to the back of the vehicle, where children were already gathering. Jolly Joe would jump out of his truck, the sun shining on his hair. He was an older man, short and round, with a pleasant face and a welcoming smile.

I don’t know how, but he knew us all by name, as well as which treats we preferred. My favorite was the Buried Treasure. By eating all the ice cream, you’d discover the treasure inside: a lion, a dog or even a funny clown — printed onto a plastic stick.

When it was finally my turn, he’d put his arm deep inside one of the boxes, and pause (停顿) for a moment, a puzzled look crossing his face. Then, suddenly, he’d pull it out: the Buried Treasure! I couldn’t wait to enjoy the cool, sweet ice cream.

As quickly as he arrived, it was time for Jolly Joe to go, leaving behind laughing, excited children with sticky hands and faces. Soon the sound of his clanging bell would slowly disappear in the distance.

I always hated to see Jolly Joe go, because I knew the rest of the day would be as hot and boring as before. But I took some comfort in knowing that the next day he’d come round the corner at half past noon and once again spread his magic.

24. Jolly Joe was liked mostly by _____.

A. children                         B. passengers 

C. advertisers                    D. drivers

25. Why did the author like the Buried Treasure best?

A. It gave great pleasure to his pet.

B. It was the cheapest of all the treats.

C. It contained something very interesting.

D. It was the most delicious of all the treats.

26. Which of the following can best describe Jolly Joe?

A. Dishonest and tricky.

B. Wealthy and kind.

C. Brave and hard-working. 

D. Happy and humorous.

27. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Lost treasure found at last

B. A clanging bell in the distance

C. Ice cream man spreads frozen magic

D. My friendship with an ice cream man

C

What if our babies could somehow tell us what they’re thinking about, what they want, and what makes them unhappy? Robyn Holt, researcher for Baby Talk New Zealand, says they can. Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop (研讨会).

“Sign language is something that’s always interested me, and I thought, it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the time what they actually want.”

Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin, now 12, and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk. She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic, 8, and Matthew, 3.

Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice (which is based on adult sign language) has been out in America for more than 30 years. But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.

The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so. Although many mothers develop an intuition (直觉) about whether their baby’s crying is from hunger, tiredness, or pain, baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the mystery.

When babies are between 6-months and 12 to 13-months, parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding, and also talk about milk, so that the child begins to make the link (关联) in their brain. Then they can begin to add other signs, i.e. food, sick or pain.

“I know of one parent. Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his mouth, and she realised his first teeth were growing. It makes life so much easier,” said Holt.

28. Why did Holt go to the baby sign language workshop? 

A. To entertain her own children. 

B. To better understand babies’ needs.

C. To help babies with language problems.

D. To develop a new system of sign language.

29. According to the text, baby sign language _____.

A. has been used in New Zealand for 30 years

B. can easily make the parents understood

C. has developed from adult sign language

D. was designed by Robyn Holt

30. What does the underlined part “the mystery” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The ability to communicate.

B. Mothers’ intuitions.

C. The cause of the baby’s crying.

D. Baby sign language.

31. Holt mentioned a parent and her child to show baby sign language is _____.

A. helpful                            B. difficult    

C. interesting                      D. special

D

I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.

Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I’m not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I’m not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can’t understand these people who have never left their town or city.

Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I’m not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.

32. When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.

A. upset                        B. strange      

C. normal                     D. different

33. When the author returns to America, _____.

A. she makes more friends

B. she becomes more polite

C. she can’t find what she needs

D. she is like a fish out of water

34. The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.

A. reasons         B. problems   

C. advantages      D. suggestions

35. In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.

A. her different lifestyles

B. a kind of culture shock

C. a feeling of loneliness

D. her ability to face difficulties

How to become a better runner

This is meant for runners in high school. If you want to become a better runner, then here are several things you can do.

Connect with your team if you are new.   36  You can ask them for advice and hang out with them outside of practice!

If you have a workout, don’t slack off (松懈) ever. This will never improve your performance.  37  I know some people say they do it just to stay in shape, but if you want to stay in shape you have to work for it!

Run 6 out of the 7 days in a week, but don’t work out on your days off. You need to relax.   38  It doesn’t have to be as much as you would run during practice, but you should still exercise so that you don’t get out of shape.

If you are injured, do not run.  39  It’s common to get shin splints (小腿酸痛), so if this happens to you, just take a break from running. It will actually make you better once you start running.

 40  It allows you to form a relationship with other people like a family. If you take time to become a better runner, you will be physically and mentally (精神上地) stronger.

A. It takes much of your time.

B. Running is more than a sport.

C. Running can make problems worse.

D. It is an experience that you will never forget.

E. But if you are having a long break, you should still run.

F. Remember that you are supposed to run in a running sport.

G. It helps you realize that there is more to just the sport to look forward to.

In the autumn of 1968, a housewife in a large Midwestern city heard scratching (刮擦) sounds at her front door.   41 , she opened the door slowly and after a few seconds  42 , “Jingles!”

Jingles was the family’s cat. The woman could hardly believe her eyes because the family had  43  Jingles while on vacation nearly 300 miles away four weeks ago.

This story is not a(n)   44  one. Cat owners all over the world have reported similar cases of their pets  45  long distances to find their way back to their homes. One cat,   46  from New Jersey to Brooklyn, must have had to   47  the Hudson and East Rivers. Whether it used bridges or swam, no one will ever know. Yet it reached home  48 .

Some animal experts have compared this amazing  49  of cats to that of homing pigeons. But there is one big  50 . Pigeons must be  51  by their owners to return. Each training period, they are taken farther and farther from their  52 , until they have  53  to fly back over great distances.  54  cats are given no such training. They just seem to   55  the way back.

Does this “homing instinct (本能)” have something to do with cats’ sense of  56 ? It doesn’t seem likely. Even for cats, the smells of home would be too 57  for them to find their way back. One scientist has suggested that homing pigeons — and perhaps cats as well — somehow use the earth’s magnetic field (磁场) to  58  them.

There is also a theory that the cats’  59  sense of belonging to certain people and to a certain place somehow provides them with a special gift for knowing just  60  to return to those people and that place.

41. A. Shocked           B. Surprised  C. Puzzled                D. Excited

42. A. explained         B. turned around  C. joked                   D. cried out

43. A. found          B. raised C. met                        D. lost

44. A. unusual           B. true      C. old                  D. sad

Dear Bill,

I’m glad to hear that you are studying in China. But you said you get quite confused sometimes, and want to know some simple Sino-US differences in body language. I think I can explain some to you.

Firstly, Americans will avoid touching. But Chinese people don’t mind physical contact — girls will even hold hands. Also, people from America protect their private space, while Chinese pay less attention to it. Last but not least, in the United States, showing your tongue is considered to be rude, while in China, it is usually an expression of embarrassment.

There are many differences in body language between China and the United States, please pay attention and use the correct body language when you are in China. I really would like to help you when you are in need.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Like many families in Sanyati, a small countryside town in western Zimbabwe, Tatenda’s family does not have a television. One day after school, Tatenda arrived home tired and noticed something unusual in the house. “At first, I thought Dad had bought a television set, but when my mother said it was a computer, I was disappointed (失望的),” 11-year-old Tatenda said. “Nobody in our neighborhood knew how to operate a computer.”

For almost two weeks, the gift lay untouched in the house. But things changed when Amina, a young family friend from Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, came to visit. Amina knew all about computers and was a good teacher, too.

At first, Tatenda always pressed the wrong button (按钮). But he kept on going because he was eager to learn. After three weeks, Tatenda mastered some computer basics.

Meanwhile, Tatenda’s friends wondered what had happened to him, because Tatenda always had an excuse for going back home.

One day, Tatenda’s three friends surprised him at home. When they arrived, they couldn’t believe what they saw — a computer and Tatenda operating it.

After that surprise visit, Tatenda taught them how to use the computer. It wasn’t long before the neighborhood kids wanted to learn, too! Tatenda worried. The computer began to experience problems because the kids were pressing too many buttons. So he began charging (收费) for lessons. But those whose parents did not have money paid with chickens or goats.

With the money earned from teaching, Tatenda has bought a television and radio for his family. And he plans to buy a new computer. He also plans to keep on teaching. The people of Sanyati couldn’t be more pleased. Tatenda has single-handedly introduced computers to his town and is simply known there as “Teacher.”

21. Tatenda was disappointed with the unusual thing in his house for _____.

A. he didn’t need anything

B. he thought it was useless

C. he had had the same one

D. he was very tired that day

22. What can we learn about Amina?

A. She bought a computer for Tatenda.

B. She was Tatenda’s school teacher.

C. She was invited to teach Tatenda.

D. She offered Tatenda much help.

23. When Tatenda’s three friends saw him operating a computer, they were very _____.

A. calm                        B. angry                C. proud                       D. surprised

24. The text mainly tells readers _____.

A. a boy teaches his townspeople computer skills

B. a boy tries his best to support his family

C. computers are important to the poor

Sarah Sexton understands that some people may find art boring. “I’m always looking for ways to take a traditional subject and make it look fun and interesting,” says Sarah, 16. Sarah won a National Silver Medal in painting in the 2013 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and she hopes to have a career (事业) in fine art or design.

When did you first get serious about art?

I’ve always loved drawing, but I got serious after the eighth grade, when I started taking classes at a private art studio. I learned some skills like shading and perspective (透视画法), which deepened my love of art because of what I could create with these amazing new tools.

What made you create this award-winning painting?

Last fall, I decided to make my first oil painting. I knew I wanted my subject to be about food since I love food. My studio-art teacher said, “Why not try fruit?”

How did you create an unusual sense of space in the image?

I wanted the watermelon to be the focal point (焦点). The slices (薄片) are large and in the center so they take up most of the empty space and make a big statement. I added the tablecloth, so the space felt definite (明确的). As your eye moves up, the background detail disappears. Near the top, there is no detail. It may make you wonder if anything is really there at all.

What advice do you have for the young artists like yourself?

If you want to try something different, go for it. Art isn’t about trying to make everyone like your work. It’s about taking risks and trying to say what you think or feel. If you like it, that’s what matters most.

25. According to the text, Sarah _____.

A. thinks art is boring and uninteresting sometimes

B. developed her interest in art when she was eight years old

C. dreams that one day she will become an artist or designer

D. won first prize in the 2013 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

26. Which of the following may be Sarah’s award-inning painting?

27. In Sarah’s opinion, what is most important for an artist?

A. Expressing yourself.

B. Learning from others.

C. Pleasing most people.

D. Enjoying different art forms.

Theodore Roosevelt was one of America’s most physically fit Presidents. “While in the White House I always tried to get a couple of hours’ exercise in the afternoons — sometimes tennis, more often riding, or else a cross-country walk,” he wrote. The President believed “the strenuous (精力充沛的) life”, as he called it, helped him to be a better person and a better President.

The President’s love for the strenuous life began when he was a boy growing up in New York City in the 1860s. He was a sickly child and often ill. “Nobody seemed to think I would live,” Roosevelt recalled. 

Encouraged by his father, Roosevelt began lifting weights when he was 12 years old. The next year, Roosevelt’s mother took him to a gym for boxing (拳击) lessons. He described himself as “a painfully slow and awkward pupil.” But even though he had little ability, Roosevelt always showed a lot of interest in sports. He worked hard at exercising his body.

Roosevelt stood 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 124 pounds as a freshman at HarvardCollege. A classmate described him as “a youth in the kindergarten stage of development.” Yet Roosevelt continued boxing, and in his junior year, he competed in Harvard’s annual boxing championship. He finished in second place. 

Roosevelt entered politics after college. In 1901, 42-year-old Roosevelt became the youngest President ever. And just because he was a world leader, he saw no reason to give up strenuous or risky sports.

The President invited young military officers to the White House to box and wrestle (摔跤). In one boxing match, Roosevelt’s opponent (对手) hit him in the left eye, causing an injury that eventually blinded that eye. He kept the injury secret for many years. 

28. Roosevelt’s parents encouraged him to do exercise in order to _____.

A. change his bad habits

B. discover his athletic ability

C. strengthen his weak body

D. build his strong character

29. What does the underlined word “awkward” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Stupid.                     B. Nervous.           C. Careful.                    D. Unpopular.

30. What Roosevelt’s college classmate described showed Roosevelt was very _____.

A. strong                      B. smart                C. lazy                         D. small

31. After Roosevelt became the President of the US, _____.

A. he preferred doing exercise in the mornings

B. he had less time to keep fit at the White House

C. few people knew he lost the sight of his left eye

D. he taught many officers how to box and wrestle

OTTAWA — After leaving suddenly almost twenty years ago, fans of one Italian car brand (品牌) have been crying, “Oh, Alfa Romeo, where are you?” But with the arrival of the all-new Alfa Romeo 4C sports car this year, parent Fiat’s sportiest brand is back in business in Canada. The question is: Will anybody care?

Although it hasn’t sold a new car in Canada since 1995, the Alfa Romeo brand is one of the oldest in the car industry. It was founded in 1910. It quickly became well-known for making fast, beautiful and expensive sports cars. An Italian state-holding company took over in the early 1930s, but since 1986, the Alfa brand has been owned by Fiat.

Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo met fresh competition from Japan. By the mid-1990s, Alfa’s lone North American offerings were the Spider roadster (单排座敞篷轿车).

Many Alfa fans will tell you the brand’s success is on the racetracks (赛车场). Dating back to 1913, Alfa Romeo has always had a strong factory presence in racing. But since the late-1980s the Italian automaker has become less involved in car races.

While Alfa Romeo has shot a few videos of its new mid-engine, two-seat 4C on a racetrack, there are no plans for the car maker to get back into racing.

One of the biggest attractions for Toronto Alfa Romeo fan VytasSvedas is the brand’s racing past. He currently takes part in many races with his father with a 1966 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT, and he thinks if Alfa wants to be taken seriously as it returns to selling cars in Canada, it has to get back on the racetrack.

Of course, not all Alfa fans need a racetrack to enjoy their cars. David Semel is the president of the Alfa Romeo Club of Ottawa. Semel’s current ride is a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia SS. And, he admits, the main attraction of the Giulia SS is the way the car looks, not how fast it can go.

32. What do we know about Alfa Romeo?

A. It is quite affordable for the common people.

B. It is a brand of a state-holding company.

C. It has a history of about a century.

D. It entered Canada in 1995.

33. Why did Alfa Romeo lose its Canadian market?

A. Because the Canadians lost interest in sports cars.

B. Because there were fewer car races held in Canada.

C. Because it faced very strong competition from Japan.

D. Because its quality couldn’t meet the local buyers’ needs.

34. What’s VytasSvedas’s attitude towards Alfa Romeo’s not getting back into racing?

A. Understanding.             

B. Unconcerned.  

C. Pleased.                      

D. Disappointed.

35. According to David Semel, Alfa Romeo _____.

A. will return to racing sooner or later            

B. has other advantages besides speed              

C. is not necessarily the fastest car                 

D. is losing lots of its fans

Four most important eye expressions

The language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal (非语言的) communication.   36   Here are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.

1. Smiling eyes

Researchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles (出现皱纹). But a social, polite smile touches only our lips (嘴唇).   37   For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something.

2.   38  

People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then? Anything from shyness to nervousness.

3. Friendly eyes

When you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him:   39   This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.

4. “Shut” eyes

Covering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “No problem.”   40    

A. Shy eyes

B. Empty eyes

C. Such behavior is seen with liars.

D. You are paying attention to the talk.

E. The smile you are given is not in the eyes.

F. What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all.

G. So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes.

Dear Kevin,

How is everything going?

My parents and I plan to take a trip to Canada for a week during the summer vacation. We hope to make full use of this opportunity to explore new things and learn more about your culture. So I am writing to ask you for help. We hope you can advise us where to visit. We want to experience the natural beauty of Canada and its culture. We don’t want to go to places which are full of tourists and shoppers. Besides, can you give us some advice on how to find hotels which are not expensive but comfortable?

 I would be grateful if you could give me an early reply.
