Disasters happen all the time somewhere in the world. Are you ready if one hits your neighborhood next week? Find out what you need to do now before it is too late. Let’s take an earthquake for example.
During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table. Don’t leave the building during the shaking, or you might be hurt by falling objects from the outside of the building.
When you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens，simply roll off the bed. There will be a safe void around the bed.
If you are watching TV and you cannot easily run away by getting out through the door or window, then lie down and curl up(蜷伏) next to a sofa, or a large chair.
Never go to the stairs. The stairs are likely part of the building to be broken. Even if the stairs are not destroyed by the earthquake，they may fall down later when people run down.
Try to get into an open area away from trees，buildings，walls，advertisement boards and power lines if you are outdoors.
If you are driving when an earthquake suddenly happens，just stay in your car until the shaking ends. However, if the footbridge falls and breaks your car，get out of it and sit or lie next to it. All the broken cars have voids 3 feet high next to it.
小題1: What should you do if you are in a building when an earthquake happens?
A．Rush out quicklyB．Sit in the kitchen
C．Stay below strong objectsD．Go down the stairs
小題2:The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 3 means“_______”.
A．spaceB．seatC．distanceD．sign
小題3: When you are outdoors during an earthquake，you should go to _______.

小題4: If you are inside a car when there is a sudden earthquake，you should _______.
A．get out of itB．keep inside itC．move away fastD．stay under the footbridge

小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:D
小題1:B

小題1:根據(jù)During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table.可知選C。
小題1:根據(jù)simply roll off the bed.簡單的滾下床，由于床的支撐可能有一點(diǎn)空間，故選A。
小題1:根據(jù)Try to get into an open area away from trees，buildings，walls，advertisement boards and power lines if you are outdoors.可知去開闊地，故選D，一個操場。
小題1:根據(jù)just stay in your car until the shaking ends.及上文描述可知選B。

I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn’t know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.
My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. So, she had to take cooking classes to prepare(準(zhǔn)備) our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn’t want me to have the same experience.
I remember when I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience because I don’t need help to cook a meal. I can cook for me alone or for a group of people; it doesn’t matter.
I will do the same with my children because I don’t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me.  
小題1: The writer’s mother learned cooking _______.
A. from the writer’s grandmother
B. all by herself
C. by taking cooking class
小題2:The underlined word recipes in this passage most probably means _______.
A. instructions on how to cook food
B. experiences of cooking food
C. some well-known cooks
小題3:We can learn from the passage that the writer’s children will _______.
A. hate cooking
B. learn cooking
C. teach cooking
小題4: The writer must think cooking is _______ to learn in life.
A. interesting          B. difficult          C. necessary
小題5:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. the writer’s mother didn’t know how to cook anything but an egg.
B. the writer’s mother started to cook after 25 years old.
C. the writer’s mother taught the writer how to cook because she disliked cooking.

Today was not a good day. Everything went wrong. First, I slept late and Mom shouted at me to wake up. When I went to the kitchen for breakfast, there was no cereal. I decided to have some toast instead, but I burned it. I had to eat it anyway because there was no more bread. The juice bottle was empty, so I had a glass of cold water.
When I was getting on a bus, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet, so I had to go back home to get it.
Of course, I missed the bus and had to wait for the next.
I was late for school and the teacher told me to stay in the classroom at lunchtime to catch up on(彌補(bǔ)) the school work I had missed. After lunch, it was time to give the teacher our homework. I reached into my bag to get it, but it wasn’t there. I had left it at home. I was in trouble again.

Fashion isn’t very environmentally-friendly because it makes people buy things they don’t need, just because they’re new. We want to take care of the environment, we don’t want to pol­lute the air and we don’t want to waste energy and resources. But we also want to be fashiona­ble. How can we buy fashionable clothes and protect the environment?
Old styles are fashionable again, so one way is to buy second-hand clothes — recycled clothes. Another way is to buy’ fair trade clothes. These clothes are either recycled or made in a ’ way that protects the environment. They also protect the people who make the clothes.
Surprisingly, white cotton is one of the least environmentally-friendly crops of all. To pro­tect the cotton, the growers use chemicals that pollute water, make farm workers ill and kill wildlife. New materials, such as hemp and bamboo, grow quickly and are more environmental­ly-friendly. These materials are very soft, and look fantastic. The best materials are coloured using natural dyes, made from plants.
Environmentally-friendly clothes are practical but until now they were often dull. Now fashion-designers are working with these materials and the clothes are beautiful as well. So now we can buy fashionable clothes that are also environmentally-friendly.
小題1:Why do people often buy things they don’t need? Because_.
A．new things can be more comfortable
B．everyone wants to be fashionable
C．people are richer than before now
D．people care about the environment
小題2:What’s the topic for paragraph 2?
A．Recycled fashion.B．The problem with fashion.
C．Fashion doesn’t have to pollute.D．New materials.
小題3:Which of the following is more environmentally-friendly?
A．Materials soft and looking fantastic.
B．Any materials coloured using natural dyes.
C．Hemp and bamboo.
D．White cotton.
小題4:Why are environmentally -friendly clothes more fashionable now? Because______.
A．people pay more attention to our environment
B．environmentally-friendly clothes are practical
C．a(chǎn)ll old styles become fashionable again
D．fashion-designers are working to make them beautiful
小題5:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Cotton or Hemp and Bamboo?
B．Environmentally-friendly Clothes
C．Old Style, New Fashion Again
D．Fashion and the Environment

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
I really only meant it as a joke.  I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹噓) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download (下載) the newest 41 off the internet."Then he 42everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 43 .
44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反應(yīng)). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指責(zé)) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 55 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s（獸醫(yī)診所）. There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped（香腸形）body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though.“No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper.“Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked（舔）his face. Her tail wagged（搖擺）around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
“She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white colour—he was blind.
小題1:The last three sentences in the first paragraph tell us      .
A．how funny Minnie lookedB．how well Minnie behaved
C．Minnie was a beautiful dogD．Minnie was dying
小題2:Why did the writer advertise Minnie in the local newspaper?
A．Because he wanted to sell her at a good price.
B．Because he didn’t want her any more, either.
C．Because he wanted to find a family for her.
D．Because he wanted to have another dog.
小題3:Why did the boy who called the writer want Minnie?
A．Because he loved all kinds of dogs very much.
B．Because he had seen Minnie and loved her very much.
C．Because his grandfather’s dog was too old.
D．Because his grandfather’s dog had just died.
小題4:The underlined word“stroke”may mean      .
A．撫摸B．拔C．剪D．揪
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Minnie wasn’t the type of dog the old man loved.
B．The old man couldn’t see how funny Minnie looked.
C．Minnie knew very well how to make others dislike her.
D．Minnie was like the old man’s dog which had just died
