When we went into biology class the other day,we found that a strange smell filled the classroom. Then we saw a glass bottle on our teacher's desk. It was filled with long white strips.
“Today,you guys will learn to dissect (解剖) these earthworms and learn the inside structure of them,” our teacher said.
After a brief lecture,our teacher gave each of us an earthworm. We put on glasses and gloves and started to work.
The first sight of the worm took my breath away.I was too scared to even look at it. “ Don’t be a coward,” I told myself. I lifted the knife and scissors.I shivered when the metal in my hand touched the soft wet body of the worm. I tried to hold my breath and concentrate on cutting it.
Slowly,a small cut appeared on the worm's body. A burst of deep-colored fluid came out. Some even splashed (溅) on the desk. “ Ewww...” my desk partner said.
I bit my teeth and went on with my work. I found that when I cut the body,the knife broke the organs easily. I changed to cutting in another way and it worked much better. Finally,I pushed the top skin aside and fastened it with pins. All of the organs appeared clearly.
At that time,I found that I wasn’t afraid anymore. I was quite calm. UI am ready for a surgery (手术) ，” Ijoked.

在生物课上，老师让我们做解剖蚯蚓实验,一开始“我” 非常害怕，最后，“我”克服了恐惧心理，顺利地完成了解剖 任务。
1. A细节理解题。根据第二段老师的话“Today,you guys will learn to dissect these earthworms and learn the inside structure of them,”可知，瓶子里装的是蚯蚓。故选A.
2. B词义猜测题。画线词语前面提到“I was too scared to even look at it. ”，由此可推测，当作者手中的金属触及 蚯蚓时，作者因害怕而颤抖。B项符合语境。
3. C细节理解题。根据第五段最后两句“Some even splashed on the desk. “ Ewww…” my desk partner said. ”可知，我的同伴因为蚯蚓的体液溅到了桌子上而 感觉不舒服。选C.
4. B推理判断题。作者在顺利地完成解剖实验后，有了“做手术”的经验，B项符合题意。
5. B推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者一开始对解剖蚯蚓实验很害怕，最后顺利地完成了任务并为自己会“做手 术”而高兴，由此可推断，这是作者第一次进行解剖实 验，故选B.
strip n.条，带 structure n.结构
concentrate on 全神贯注于……
fluid n.液体organ n.器官
障碍句分析
I found that when I cut the body,the knife broke the organs easily.我发现，肖我切蚯蚓的身体时，刀子很容易就 切破了器官。
that引导宾语从句，因为主句有found过去式，从句也要用过去的时态。在从句中when I cut the body是时间状语从句。
利用上下文猜测词义
猜测词义也是一种英语阅读能力。英语阅读理 解试题中有不少这样的题目。任何一个实词，只有在 —定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。上下文 的作用就是帮助确定上下文中的词、短语或句子的意 义。据此，我们可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测词 义，即从已知推求未知，也就是用我们所熟悉的词或 短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。
例如，第2小题，根据上文I was too scared to even look at it. “Don’t be a coward,” I told myself.可 知，解剖蚯蚓时我很害怕，根据此语境可猜测作者在 !她手中的金属触及蠕虫的软湿身体时，她“颤抖”了。

William Shakespeare was the greatest English writer of all time. He wrote thirty-seven plays in all. His stories are almost known in every comer of the world.
William Shakespeare was bom in Stratford,a small town in England,in 1564. He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of fourteen. In 1582,he married the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway who was a farmer's daughter. Their first child was a daughter. Later they had twins. In 1585,Shakespeare left his hometown. His wife and children stayed behind. No one knows why he left or what he did between 1585 and 1592. These years are called “the lost years”. In his youth,he moved to London and began a career as a playwright. By 1594,he had become a key playwright of a popular acting company in the city.
Although Shakespeare is famous as a playwright,he once was an actor and poet. He usually acted in his own plays. He earned almost no money from his writing. But he made a lot of money from acting. At the age of forty-nine,Shakespeare retired. Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford. He died on 23 April 1616.
Of course,Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today. He is a master of words. He coined about 1 ,700 English words,including everyday ones like “ lonely ” and “hurry,”according to the New York Post.

Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不费心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.
People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think： is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?
1. When we take photos,we .
A. fail to focus on the event itself
B. can't record the details
C. remember what we have seen
D. are likely to have a poor memory
2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.
A. 支持 B. 抚养
C. 增强 D. 减弱
3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.
C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.
D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.
4. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. The entrance of a museum.
B. A scientific report.
C. An instruction of how to use a camera.
D. A guidebook on how to take good pictures.

I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight,in the dark,I would finally take it away. If everything went OK,it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one,not even my wife,saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 pm was not early. As usual,I read them a bed time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end,I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.
After much effort,my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
