    I bent down in the shade under a sixty-foot-tall cactus（仙人掌）, waiting for them to appear. The time was eight thirty in the morning. For seven mornings I had come to the same distant spot in the Sonoran Desert, in southern Arizona. I was here to watch the roadrunner, a small fast-running bird.
    I spotted two birds under a bush with red flowers. The roadrunners rushed out from under it. The birds moved rapidly on long skinny legs. Their feathers were brown and black. Their tails were seven inches long. Roadrunners use the tail for balance when running.
    That day, the roadrunners performed a courtship（求婚）dance. They ran in wild circles. Suddenly, one stopped and stood still, its round eyes full of light. The second bird took hold of a small stick off the ground and presented it to the first, a gift serving as a symbol of their partnership.
    I returned to the spot each day, leaving bits of boiled chicken hoping they would return. Roadrunners eat snakes, lizards, mice, beetles, and spiders. Food is in short supply in the desert, so my offerings were welcome. The pair grew used to me.
    Soon after the pair finished building their nest six white eggs appeared in the nest bowl. In about three weeks, six roadrunner chicks, skin as black as coal, cried for food. Their parents brought food such as fence lizards and stink bugs. They fed their young until they were a month and a half old.
    Early one morning, a coyote（丛林狼）came around, nose to the ground, for fresh bird meat. The roadrunners fearlessly drove the coyote away, but it was soon back. After three attacks the coyote went away for good, tail between its legs.
    I stopped watching the nest when the little roadrunners, at two months of age, were ready to live on their own. It was hard to break away from “my roadrunner family.” Whenever I see a roadrunner now, rushing over the ground, I say hello to it as an old friend.
    小题1:The author went to the Sonoran Desert to       .
    A．go on a tour of the desert
    B．carry out research into some animals in the desert
    C．make an observation about a kind of bird

    A．They have short tails and legs.
    B．They move at a fast pace.
    C．Their feathers are red and brown.
    D．They don’t like boiled chicken.
    小题3:We can learn from the last but one paragraph that the roadrunners were        .
    A．braveB．cleverC．easily-frightenedD．lazy
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A．How do roadrunners seek a partner?
    B．My close friendship with roadrunners.
    C．Roadrunner family in the Sonoran Desert.

    Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London “the cleanest” by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities at a climate change conference. Leaders of the world's 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming ---- the third to be held since 2005.
    "What we should do in Seoul is agree that we will stop the endless addiction of mankind to the internal combustion engine (内燃机)," said Johnson. He told a press conference the world's cities consume 75 percent of its energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change. "The problem of our planet is an urban problem," Johnson said.
    He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics "to drive the greening and the improvement of our city" and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
    Johnson said the key measure was addressing the problems relating to domestic and commercial buildings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London. This involved retrofitting (翻新) ---- installing lagging (绝缘层材料) ---- in large numbers of public buildings.
    Johnson proclaimed himself a "passionate cyclist" and said he would push ahead with cycle super-highways around London.
    London's air quality problem, he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 antiquated (陈旧的) diesel (柴油) buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicles. There were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced by electric vehicles.
    Johnson said there would be a substantial (实质上的) program in the next few years to produce a "cleaner, greener" bus for his city. "The age of the diesel-emitting bus has got to be over in London."
    小题1:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to this passage?
    A．The used buses running on diesel will be replaced by electric vehicles.
    B．London’s air quality will be improved in the near future.
    C．London promises to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
    D．Plans have been made to solve the problem of carbon dioxide emissions.
    小题2:What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?
    A．discussing B．resistingC．agreeingD．supporting
    小题3:The topic of the meeting in Seoul might be __________.
    A．climate changeB．London Olympics in 2012
    C．global warmingD．green environment
    小题4:If the passage was continually written, the following might be __________.
    A．measures to replace the old and used vehicles
    B．measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in London
    C．measures to solve housing and commercial items
    D．measures to end the age of the diesel bus

    Afraid that her son would be too tired, Ms. Wendy would sometimes tell the boy to skip school, but each time, Fabian would insist on going to school.
    “I don’t like it because when I return to school, I don’t know what’s going on,” the 12-year-old boy explained. He suffers for SMA－a neuromuscular（神经肌肉的）disease that leads to weakness in muscles－and gets around in a wheelchair.
    Fabian’s determination to excel in his studies was evident when he was disappointed that he got a total score of 236 yesterday in his Primary School Leaving Examination. He was hoping for a score of at least 240, but his mother was full of pride. “I am happy with his results. He’s very motivated,” said Ms. Wendy.
    When Fabian was two months old, he was diagnosed with SMA. Ms. Wendy, who used to go to other homes to teach piano lessons, started teaching lessons at home so she could take care of her son. Fabian proved to be a fighter. Ms. Wendy said, “ He would study every day on his own even though he was weak and his spine（脊柱）was already starting to curve quite badly.”
    Fabian is also active in the Singapore Disability Sports Council, where he plays boccia（滚球）, a ball sport for those who require a wheelchair due to physical disability.
    At just 133cm tall and weighing 14kg, he knows that he will have to rely on others all his life. “I’m afraid that when my parents grow older, they will not be able to carry me and that there will be nobody to carry me,” said Fabian. “But for now, I feel lucky that I get to go out and do a lot of things that I thought I couldn’t.”
    His dreams aren’t lofty（崇高的）either－all he want to be able to do is work and provide for his parents. “I just want to study hard so that I can be a businessman, like my dad.” He is planning to apply to study at Victoria School.
    小题1:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
    A. going to school.               B. being absent from school
    C. studying hard.                   D. suffering from SMA.
    小题2:We can know from the text that Fabian ______.
    A．got the disease at the age of 12.
    B．was proud of his exam results.
    C．has no interest in any sports.
    D．wants to be a businessman like his father.
    小题3:What do we know about Ms. Wendy?
    A．She insists that her son go to school.
    B．She used to be a piano teacher in a school.
    C．She is satisfied with her son’s performance at school.
    D．She fears that her son will be helpless when she is older.
    小题4:Which words can best describe Fabian?
    A．Sensitive and weak.B．Active and optimistic.
    C．Clever and strong.D．Stressed and concerned.
    小题5:What is the best title for the text?
    A. He Is Disabled but He Is a Fighter.
    B. A Great Mother and Her Special Son.
    C. How to Fight Against SMA.
    D. A disabled boy’s dream.

    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 blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean 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 blackout was impossible.
    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.
    小题1:This selection says that Thomas Edison ________.
    A．was the only important American inventor
    B．received the first American patent
    C．received more patents than any other American
    D．was the first American inventor
    小题2:People decided to honor Edison when ________.
    A．he made the first electric light
    B．electric power was 100 years
    C．the country realized electricity's importance
    D．he died in 1931
    小题3:The suggested plan was to ________.
    A．turn off the lights in factories and schools
    B．observe a few minutes of total silence
    C．dim all electric lights
    D．shut off all electricity for a short time

    I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
    Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
    In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
    People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
    It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
    小题1:When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.
    A．describe the place carefully
    B．show him a map of the place
    C．tell him the names of the streets
    D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
    小题2:What is the place where people measure distance in time?
    A．New York.B．Los Angeles.C．Kansas.D．Iowa.
    小题3:People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.
    A．in order to save timeB．as a test
    C．so as to be politeD．for fun
    小题4:What can we infer from the text?
    A．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
    B．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
    C．People have similar understandings of politeness.
    D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

    Ginny Ruffner is one of the best-known glass artists in the United States. Her one-of-a-kind pieces are colorful, detailed and often humorous. Over the years, she became famous for a method called lamp working, also known as flame working. It involves using a torch to melt and shape the glass instead of blowing on it.
    Ginny Ruffner almost died in a three-car accident in 1991. No one thought the Seattle-based artist would ever walk or talk again. An award-winning(优等的) film documentary explores that period of her life. "It's scary when you can't talk, you can't do... all your life." said Ruffner.
    Ms. Ruffner was in a coma(昏迷) for five weeks and a wheelchair for five years. But she overcame her injuries. And although she still has difficulty walking and talking, she has willed herself back to work. Now, she has a team that helps bring her dream to life.
    Her team recently finished an eight point five meter-high flowerpot made of steel and aluminum. It is now in downtown Seattle. Ms. Ruffner was recently honored in Washington, DC.  The Renwick Gallery presented a special showing of the film, "A Not So Still Life, the Ginny Ruffner Story."
    Ms. Ruffner says “it has been a long battle, but the hardest part has not been the physical problems. I hate being taken for granted, being ignored. The way I talk, people assume that I'm either really old, or kind of retarded(智力迟钝的), and that is so frustrating."
    But she is firm. She says "Fortunately I've done a lot of stuff in my life, so I know that the best thing is to be open to the mystery, who knows what great things will happen. I'm sure they're many more to come."
    Ginny Ruffner's art can be seen in more than forty museums around the world. Her work and her life continue to motivate people of all ages.

    Half a century after the March of Dimes (a US charity organization that collects money for children) put the 20th century’s most feared childhood disease on the road to eradication (根除), Bill Gates declared polio (小儿麻痹症) his important job and challenged world leaders to finish the job.
    India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan now have active transmission (传播) of the disease. Gates says the biggest problem with the success of the Global Polio Eradication program in those countries and elsewhere is lack of money.
    The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plans to increase its $200 million annual contribution (每年的捐款) by $102 million this year, Gates says. Gates recently met privately with Pakistan’s President in Washington, D.C., to try to persuade him to provide full support for Pakistan’s eradication plan.
    Children in the USA also are at risk, experts say. Parents who don’t vaccinate (给某人接种疫苗) their children because they are fearful of vaccine side-effects create a large number of children who are likely to be harmed by the virus.
    “If you increase the number of unvaccinated children, you increase the chance that this virus will find new subjects,” says David Oshinsky, Pulitzer Prized-winning author of Polio: An American Story.
    “We’ve got to get this vaccine into the mouths of children,” says Bruce Aylward, head of the World Health Organization’s eradication program.
    In 1988, when the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication program, the disease killed 350,000 children a year worldwide. By last year, the total dropped to fewer than 1,500 worldwide, Aylward says.
    If Gates provides the final push for polio eradication, he may be remembered as much for helping prevent polio as for founding Microsoft, Oshinsky says.
    “As long as there’s polio anywhere, people everywhere are at risk,” Aylawrd says. “We’re still not out of the woods.”
    小题1:According to the text, the success of the Global Polio Eradication program mainly depends on          .
    A．the World Health Organization’s policy
    B．the development of a new vaccine
    C．the local governments’ support
    D．the collection of funds.
    小题2:What do we know about polio according to the text?
    A．People in Nigeria don’t take it seriously.
    B．It’s now the most serious childhood disease.
    C．Great progress has been made in preventing it.
    D．There are few organizations helping to prevent it.
    小题3:According to Oshinsky,           .
    A．Gates should devote more time to Microsoft
    B．polio eradication is a very important cause
    C．vaccine side-effects should not be ignored
    D．polio has been brought under control
    小题4:According to the passage, which of the following about Bill Gates is TRUE?
    A．He is the founder of the Global polio Eradication program.
    B．He persuades some of the world leaders to support the eradication plan.
