School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, he can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula by heart. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula(公式) in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientist, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for men. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
小題1:According to the passage, a good teacher should be one who is to_________.
A．help his students to gain a good memory.
B．train his students’ ability to learn
C．teach his students everything he knows
D．have his students studying long hours
小題2: If a student want to learn better, the most important thing for him to do is_______.
A．to learn all the useful facts and formula by heart
B．to do everything as his teacher have said in class
C．to absorb (吸收) as much knowledge from his teacher as possible
D．to think more while he is studying
小題3:The main reason for the success of the great scientists is that________.
A．the teachers who had taught them were all experienced.
B．they used to work and study without a moment’s rest.
C．they had received more schooling than other people
D．they know how to study and worked hard
小題4:What’s the good advice the writer gives us?
A．We can learn better without teachers
B．We should do more asking and thinking while studying
C．We should pay enough attention to classroom
D．Book knowledge is little use

Now let’s look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance.Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(進化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.
In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species.
For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.
Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion. Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.
小題1:From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _______.
A．humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate group
B．human beings are limited by the environment while animals are not
C．human beings become more and more different from each other
D．humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability
小題2:According to the passage, primate includes such animals as _______.
A．monkeys and anteatersB．tigers and apes
C．a(chǎn)pes and monkeysD．monkeys and giraffes
小題3:According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______.
A．increase the population
B．resist natural offers
C．go to the moon
D．cure all diseases
小題4:According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environ mental resistance has resulted in _______.
A．the population explosion
B．the destruction of human habitations
C．the growth of natural ecosystem
D．the specialization of humans

When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.
One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.
But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.
To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.
Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.

B．When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.
C．A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.
D．Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
小題1:Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A．Places where people lived.
B．People’s characters.
C．Talents that people possessed.
D．People’s occupations.
小題2:According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
A．owned or drove a cart
B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools or contains
D．built houses and furniture
小題3:Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A．Beatrice SmithB．Leonard Carter
C．George LongstreetD．Donald Greenwood
小題4:The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.
A．later generationsB．friends and relatives
C．colleagues and partnersD．later sponsors

Changsha,
Hunan Province
May 6, 2010
Dear editor,
Under China’s current (現(xiàn)在的) educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.
But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奮的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically.
Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.
When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.
“ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”
The moral (教訓) of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (學術) grades.
Yours,
Zhang Zishu
小題1:What does the letter-writer (a reader) think leads to the fact that many students do nothing but study?

One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be distracted (分心) by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology makes our world smaller and smaller, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I used to put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn with experience is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
小題1:The author considers it very important ______.
A．to drive with a companionB．to have personal independence
C．to gain certain responsibilityD．to share trust and cooperation
小題2:The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
A．the approaching car was very dangerous
B．they both drove their car at a terrific speed
C．he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
D．it was dark and the road was not wide enough
小題3: From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
A．only one experienceB．many similar experiences
C．a(chǎn) driver on a dark road D．many friends and strangers
小題4:The need for cooperation increases because ______.
A．people’s fates can’t be controlled by themselves
B．certain viruses can spread in a quick way
C．terrorism can happen everywhere and every day
D．the world has become much more dangerous
小題5:We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
A．believed in one’s own personal responsibility
B．counted upon himself alone in everything
C．had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
D．had a change on his viewpoint of life

Like distance runners on a measured course，all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern．
In the first stage of our lives，we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality(活力)．
After we grow up，however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out．
A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality，yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging．
Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body．The lungs become less able to take in oxygen．Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength．The heart loses power and pumps less blood．Bones grow easier to break．
Finally, we meet a stress，a stress that is greater than our physical resistance．Often，it is only a minor accident or chance infection(a disease caused by virus)，but this time，it brings life to an end．
In 1932，a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats，simply by cutting back the calories in their diet The reason for the effect was then unknown．
Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr．Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats．The result was achieved through a special protein limited diet，which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain．Seagle showed that within the brain，specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging．By changing that chemical balance，the clock of aging can be reset．
For the first time, the mystery of why we age is being seriously challenged．Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries．
An average lifetime lasts 75 years，yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life．If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at age twenty, we would live for 800 years．
小題1:What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A．Physical vitality．B．Stress．C．Aging．D．Physical resistance．
小題2:Which of the following is not a change of aging?
A．People gradually lose their muscle strength．
B．Bones tend to break more easily．
C．The heart loses power and pumps less blood．
D．The lungs become unable to take in oxygen．

A．human's life pattern is predictable
B．physical fitness can't stop the force of aging
C．human's lifetime will last longer than 75 years
D．a(chǎn)ll of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body
小題4:How did Dr．Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?
A．By keeping their physical fitness．B．By cutting the calories in their diet．
C．By resetting their clock of aging．D．By limiting the protein in their diet．

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits （短路） and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
小題1:The purpose of the passage is to tell readers _____.
A．the damage caused by earthquakes
B．the rescue work after earthquakes
C．what to do about earthquakes
D．how to prevent earthquakes
小題2: The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A．easily brokenB．easily foundC．expensiveD．heavy
小題3:To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put _____.
A．on cupboards
B．in the bedroom
C．on a lower surface
D．where children can’t reach them
小題4:During the earthquake, people are advised to _____.
A．go out the building at once
B．turn off electricity and gas immediately
C．take shelter under a tree
D．drive to a safe place quickly
小題5:What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?
A．Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.
B．Tap on a pipe or wall for help.
C．Use a whistle for help.
D．Light a match for help.
