The badger (獾) has been nicknamed \"doormat\" because of its broad, squat form and its hairy back. Actually it is a courageous fighter. In pioneer days it was considered as great sport to turn a pack of dogs loose on this furry foe, but few dogs were willing to challenge the badger a second time.

When attacked, the badger digs a protective hole. If cornered, it releases a

strong odor (臭气) from glands (腺) near its tail. The badger’s height only about nine inches-places its throat below the line of attack of most dogs, and the back of its neck is protected by coarse hair.

In a fight, the badger’s front claws are formidable weapons. It can leave a dog limping after one well placed bite of its sharp teeth. Only the low-slung dachshund can easily get a deadly throat hold on the badger; this dog was once much used in \"badgering\" . Fortunately for the badger, the popularity of this sport has decreased considerably.

1.The badger releases a strong odor when it is________.

A.attacking another animal

B.retreating from the fight

C.cornered by its enemies

D.digging a hole

2.It is hard for most dogs to attack a badger’s throat because of the badger’s________.

A.low height B.sharp teeth

C.powerful claws D.shin

3.The badger’s coarse hair helps to________.

A.warn it of danger

B.camouflage it

C.protect it from enemies

D.both B and C

Most great inventors often met with much trouble in their work. Before they could succeed, they had to overcome thousands of difficulties which were put in their way. The following is one of such examples.

George Stephenson (1781～1848), a famous British inventor, made the first train in 1825, using a steam engine. When he was experimenting with the engine on the train, he met with troubles from the government, the newspapers and the gentlemen in the country. They said that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that the hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. People believed what they said. George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, could pull carriages full of goods and passengers and that there was no great danger to them. It was a very difficult matter for him to make them believe. However, after some time, he was able to do

it, and the first train that was driven by Stephenson himself proved what he had said. On the train there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him, and was proved a complete success.The first day when the train ran on the rails, people along the way heard the noise of the train in the distance, and saw it running quickly to them.

They thought it was a genie. They ran quickly back home for fear and closed their doors tightly. They did not dare to come out until it had passed. A week later an old woman still said that her hen had been so frightened that it hadn’t laid any eggs for three days.

1.The story tells us something about________.

3. People along the way were________when the first train ran on the rails.

Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total black-out. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets and factories.

Perhaps this suggestion made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A black-out was out of the question.

On the day of Edison’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.

1. People decided to honor Edison when________.

A.he made the first electric light

As everybody knows that the traffic problems in our city become more and more serious. During the rush-hours every morning and afternoon, the roads are very crowded. There are traffic jams almost on every main road. The accident rate becomes higher than before. I think that it is high time for the city government to take some measures to solve this problem.

First of all, we should repair the roads, for some of the roads are in bad condition and it is difficult for the drivers to go through. Secondly, we should build more overpasses so as to cut down traffic jams. Thirdly, the production of cars should be controlled, for there are too many cars moving on the roads every day. As long as we do something like this, the traffic problem will be solved or at least the accident rate will be lowered. I do hope our government will accept my suggestions.

It was January 1848. A man was digging near the small village of San Francisco, California. Suddenly, he saw something shiny-gold.

By the next year the California gold rush had begun. Thousands of men came to California. They were called \"forty-miners\" after the year 1849. The forty-miners came from all around the USA. They even came from other countries,

including Mexico, Australia, China, France, and England. They left their families and jobs, and made the difficult trip to California. They all shared a dream. They all wanted to make a fortune in gold.

Towns and camps grew quickly wherever gold was found. These towns were rough places. There was almost always a saloon, where the men drank whiskey and gambled at cards. In mining towns, men stole and sometimes killed for gold.

Did the miners make their fortune? Some did, especially those who came early were lucky. In 1848, miners usually made about twenty dollars a day. In 1852 miners made about six dollars a day. Many other people came to California to make money from the miners. Prices were very high. A loaf of bread, which cost five cents in New York, cost almost a dollar in San Francisco.

In 1848 San Francisco had been a village. Six years later it was a city with a population of 50,000.In 1850 California had enough people to become a state.

First there was learning. This has always been an important part of human life. By imitating their parents, children learned to hunt, to make tools, and to take care of themselves and others.

Next came education. This was possible only after people developed language. Then adults could explain how to do things. They could talk about traditions, beliefs, and ceremonies of the group. Still, education was oral. Children could learn only what their teachers could remember.

Finally, schools were created. They came into being because writing was invented. The first system for writing appeared about 3,500 B.C.in Sumeria, a land that is now Iraq. The Sumerians also invented a system for calculating with numbers. About 500 years later, the Egyptians discovered writing and calculation, too. And shortly after that, both the Sumerians and the Egyptians started schools. Being able to read and write they allowed people to learn anything that could be recorded. But the early systems were complicated. Children couldn’t learn them just by watching. That’s why schools became a necessity.

Those first students learned reading, writing, and calculation. Having these skills gave people great power over those who did not have them. Some 5,000 years later, this is still true.

1.The main idea of this article is that schools________.

A.had great power

B.became necessary for learning

C.taught children to hunt

D.developed language

2.You can decide from the article that schools have________.

A.made education difficult

B.held back learning

C.imitated parents

D.advanced human skills

3.What happened before Egyptians discovered alculation?

A.Egyptians discovered writing.

B.Egyptians started schools.

C.Sumerians invented writing.

D.Sumerians started schools.

4.Education became possible only with the development of________.

A.learning B.language

C.calculation D.clocks

Uncle Sam is a tall, thin man. He’s an older man with white hair and a white beard. He often wears a tall hat, a bow tie, and the stars and stripes of the American flag.

Who is this strange, looking man? Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the US government? But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam?

During the War of 1812, the US government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson. Samuel was a friendly and fair man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.

Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for

United States. Some government inspectors came to look over Sam’s company. They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for. As a joke, the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss, Uncle Sam.

The joke spread, and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam. Before long, people called all things that came from the government \"Uncle Sam’s\" , \"Uncle Sam\" became a nickname for the US government.

Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers. In these early pictures, Uncle Sam was a young man. He wore stars and stripes, but his hair was dark and he had not a beard. The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President. President Lincoln had a beard.

Mike found that young birds raised in isolation could only make some simple sound. Mike learned that a young bird has to hear other old birds’ song during the period before it is seven weeks old. Then there is a long time until the next spring before the bird begins to sing. And when it does start, it needs to practise before it finally gets the song right.

Dear Xiao Hua,

I have just come back from a trip to the United States. I had a very good time there.

I first went to New York. It is really a very big city. I saw quite many skyscrapers there. But the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are no more to be seen.

Two days later I went to Los Angeles. I visited Hollywood on the day I got there. After that I spent a whole day in Disneyland. It is really a wonderful place you shouldn’t miss.

I also went to Reno, Nevada. There is a beautiful lake named Dahu. The scenery there is beautiful!

I hope you will take a trip to the United States some day.

Love,

Lina

The sea is the largest unknown part of the world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water.

If the waters of the oceans could be moved away, the sea floor with its wide valleys, irregular mountains and rivers in the sea would be an unbelievable sight. Around the edges of the continents the ocean floor is flat and the water does not

become much deeper for about thirty miles. Where there are high young mountains along the coast, this flat part may be much less than thirty miles. But where rivers flow into the sea, the flat area may extent for hundreds of miles.

The region near the continents, where the water is not so deep, is the place where the ocean’s greatest riches in marine life are found. Below these creatures and plants are the largest known quantities of minerals.

At the end of the flat part the sea floor suddenly drops down, forming deep hollows which are shaped like bowls. These huge hollows hold most of the world’s water.

Imagine, if you can, a mountain chain stretching 40,000 miles around the earth. It is hard to believe that this great under-water chain of mountain encircling the earth was discovered only a few years ago.

1.Land areas cover________of the earth.

A.seventy-one percent

The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh, so many dishes have stand-ins, just as movie stars do. \"When I get my lights and cameras set up, I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing,\" explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine advertisements. \"Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. And when I’m shooting (拍照) something like tomatoes, I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.\"

Shooting food outdoors has special problems. \"I’m always worrying about flies or worms crawling up a glass,\" Webber explains, \"my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food.\" Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make its color beautiful. Finally he found it: a weed with lovely blue flowers. When the shot appeared, several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!

1.Just before being photographed, some meats and vegetables are________.

A.fanned B.dyed C.frozen D.made wet

2.The second paragraph deals mostly with the ________.

A.differences between indoor and outdoor photography

B.problems of outdoor food photography

Legend tells us that the city of Rome was established in 152 BC. It’s a fact, however, that by 100 AD, Rome was the center of a vast empire. It ranged from Syria in the east to Spain in the west. It stretched from Britain in the north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of today’s countries were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government, that of Rome. All educated citizens spoke the same language, Latin. And one of the empire’s many outposts was called Londinium. This unimportant town would later become London, England, and the center of another empire.

The Roman Empire collapsed about 1, 500 years ago. Yet in some ways, it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading for example. English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet while also borrowing many words. The laws

of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins are scattered throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places, Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day, any European in North Africa is likely to be called \"Roumi\" -Roman. Even modern place names are often inherited from ancient Rome. Both Greece and Germany bear the names given them by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them.

1.The most northern part of the Roman Empire was ________.

A.Spain B.Africa C.Syria D.Britain

2.The main idea of paragraph 2 is that Roman culture is ________.

A.dead and buried

B.based completely on language

C.still part of the present

D.unimportant to history

3.In the days of the Empire, the Roman government was probably ________.

A.strong B.divided C.weak D.poor

4.What happened first?

A.Londinium was an outpost.

B.The Roman Empire fell apart.

C.The city of Rome was founded.

D.London became the center of an empire.

Once a landlord wanted to plant garlic in his fields. He found a group of boys and asked them to do the work for him. At lunch time he did not invite the boys to have lunch with his family. The boys had to sit by the door and have lunch on the ground. The landlord was afraid that other people would see the bad food for the boys. So with a smile on his face he said to them: \"Boys, go and eat in the house. This is for your food. If you eat here by the door, the dogs will bite you.\" The boys were surprised. But they said nothing and went to eat in the house. The landlord was quite pleased.

Supper time came and the boys went into the house again. When they walked past the landlord’s room, they looked in through the window. What do you think they saw there? They saw a big table with white bread and all kinds of good food on it. The landlord and his family were sitting around the table and eating their dinner. But the food for the boys was bad. The boys were very angry. They wanted to teach the landlord a lesson. So they decided to plant his garlic upside

down. And that was what they did the next day.

For some time past, it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to \"rewards\" , there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early time, had to be directly connected to such basic physiological \"drives\" as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he needed food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.

It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except success in sight.

Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to \"reward\" the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making, the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the

movement \"turned on\" some lights-and indeed that they were able to learn some more turns to bring about this result, for example, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.

Papousek’s light experiment was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the light closely although they would \"smile and speak\" when the light was on. Papousek concluded that it was not the sight of the lights which pleased them. It was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and then there is a basic human nature to make sense of the world and bring it under control.

1.According to the writer, babies learn to do things which ________.

A.will satisfy their surprise

B.will meet their physical needs

C.are directly connected to pleasure

D.will bring them a feeling of success

2.Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby ________.

A.would make learned responses when it saw the milk

B.would continue the simple movements without being given milk

C.would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink

D.would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink

3.The babies would \"smile and speak\" at the lights because ________.

A.they succeeded in \"turning on\" the lights

B.the sight of lights was interesting

C.they need not turn back to watch the lights

D.the lights were directly connected to some basic \"drives\"

Yesterday some of my classmates and I spent our weekend at the seaside.

It was sunny and a little hot, but the water was too cool to swim in. The sea was blue and calm. It shone merrily under the bright sun. There were boats floating here and there. People in them laughed and sang happily.

We took off our shoes and went into the cool water. We walked along the beach in the water. Some girls looked for shells on the shore. Then we lay down and bathed in the sun or played games until it was time to go home.

We all enjoyed a pleasant time at the seaside.
