    While I was on a trip to Papua New Guinea to take underwater photographs, I asked a local dive guide to help me find a pygmy sea horse(侏儒海马). I wanted to take a picture of it. These sea horses can be red or yellow-and-orange. The red pygmy sea horse lives on only one type of coral, a red sea fan that grows at depths below ninety feet.
    This depth made the job even tougher. As the pressure on my body increased, I had to breathe harder, which used my air supply faster. So the deeper I dived, the shorter my time underwater.
    I had a lot to do. First, I had to find the pygmy sea horse’s special type of fan .Then I had to look over the whole fan with my magnifying glass(放大镜) to see if a sea horse lived on it. If not, I had to find another fan—all the while keeping an eye on my oxygen supply. The second fan rewarded me with a find. The dive guide held the magnifying glass so I could have my first look at the tiny fish.
    My next challenge was to focus my camera on such a small subject. The dive guide pointed at the tiny creature. I looked through the viewfinder(取景物) on my large underwater camera housing(相架), found the guide’s finger, and followed it to the sea horse.
    It was hard to hold ourselves steady because both of us were floating in mid-water, but our system worked. I could hardly contain my excitement as I focused on the eyes of the cutest sea horse imaginable.

    A．she felt extremely nervousB．her camera didn’t work well
    C．the guide helped focus the cameraD．the sea horse was swimming away

    B．To explain why sea horses are endangered.

    With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury you can’t afford.  小题1: A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge your physical and motional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns, and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.
    Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time.  小题2: For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider postponing your trip until the fall.
    Ask others for assistance.  小题3: Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.
    Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks’ notice before you start off.  小题4:
    Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e-mail inbox so you don’t exceed (超越) your storage limit while you’re out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return.  小题5:
    In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to work free and worry free on holiday.
    A．Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you’re away.

    Zoos divide opinion ： there are those who think it is cruel to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are essential for the survival of endangered species.
    To argue that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.
    Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.
    Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”
    Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.，’
    However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!
    小题1:What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?
    A．He shows no opinion either for or against them.
    B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.
    C．He believes they play an important environmental role.
    D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built.
    小题2:The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.
    A．remainB．disappearC．become rarerD．get killed
    小题3:According to the passage the world’s tiger population _____.
    A．will rise by 5% next yearB．is relatively stable
    C．is 95% smaller than in the pastD．has fallen to 95%
    小题4:According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _____
    A．are too expensive to runB．put animals in danger
    C．do not provide enough food D．keep animals locked up
    小题5:According to the writer ，the most important function of the zoo is to _____.
    A．make a lot of moneyB．entertain visitors
    C．ensure animals’ survivalD．educate the public

    When you run, you put force that is equal to three times your body weight on your feet. The human foot contains twenty muscles（肌肉）. This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.
    Most sports have some kind of running or jumping. So experts（专家） at many shoe companies work hard to design good sport shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer. Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested.
    Different kinds of sports shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop-and-go kind of running tennis players. But all sport shoes have one thing in common: they are designed to help people’s feet comfortable during sports.

    Congratulations! You have applied for a job and now you are getting ready for that important job interview and you are looking forward to making a good impression on your future (hopefully) boss.

    When you walk in the room the very first impression you make on the interviewer can have a great influence on the rest of the interview. It is important that you introduce yourself, shake hands, and are friendly. In a job interview, the first question is often a “breaking the ice” type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?” or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail.
    Talking about qualifications (资历) is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.
    Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.
    小题1:The passage is mainly about          .
    A．the typical questions asked in job interviews
    B．importance of interviewees’ qualifications in job interviews

    “Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
    Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic(蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
    Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
    Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated(积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
    小题1:The author develops the third paragraph mainly         .
    A．by cause and effectB．by order in space
    C．by examplesD．by order in time
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A．Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
    B．Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
    C．Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
    D．Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.
    小题3:What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives’ tales” in the text?
    A．Objective.B．Subjective.C．Dissatisfied.D．Curious.
    小题4:The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “     .”
    A．to be valuableB．to be believable
    C．to be admirableD．to be suitable
