Mrs. Janes knew her weakness well, and took every chance she could find to practise these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practise without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practised her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person.
    One afternoon, a fast, opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed; she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face.

    There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”— conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.
    Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?
    小题1:As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.
    A．cause widespread damage in the countryside
    B．affected the entire eastern half of the United States
    C．had damaged effect on health
    D．existed merely in urban and industries areas
    小题2:As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.
    A．share the same view with the scientist.
    B．is uncertain of its occurrence
    C．rejects it as being ungrounded
    D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon
    小题3:The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.
    A．slip into B．make up forC．set up D．catch up with
    小题4:It can be concluded that ____________.
    A．raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth
    B．lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster
    C．almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
    D．the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come
    小题5:This passage is primarily about __________.
    A．the greenhouse effect　B．the burning of fossil fuels
    C．the potential effect of air pollutionD．the likelihood of a new ice age

    Alexis was hot and tired. With rage (愤怒) in her voice she shouted,“Pull me up! I give up. I hate this. This is stupid!” It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said,“Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her.”I then shouted down to Alexis,“ Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!”
    Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness (系带) on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted (急突) outward. Jason said to Alexis,“I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping (痉挛) up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But, Alexis, you are strong. Look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult parts up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken.”At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used in her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said,“You are not alone out here. There are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?” Slowly she nodded and took a deep breath.?

    Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolsexperiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?
    　　Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.
    　　Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
    　　Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
    　　But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.
    Scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.
    1. 小题1:The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ____.
    A．was a great English scientist
    B．always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult
    C．thought even the simplest thing was important
    D．didn’t get well with others
    2.小题2:The phrase “set aside” most probably means____ .
    A．throw awayB．store up
    C．put to useD．realize
    3. 小题3:The author of the passage tries to ________.
    A．convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world
    B．draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things
    C．prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed
    D．draw our attention to everyday happenings around us
    4小题4:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Darwin really did fools experiments.
    B．According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.
    C．It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.
    D．Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.

    Athens Olympic 110m hurdle champion Liu Xiang felt so relieved to return to racetrack after getting out of the great number of social activities.
    Liu arrived in hometown Shanghai Wednesday night and was about to resume① training shortly after.
    “I am so exhausted② from so many social activities, which made me even more tired than training,” said the 21-year-old Liu, who wrote a new chapter in China’s Olympic history by winning the country’s first ever athletics short-distance running title in the men’s 110m hurdles in Athens in August.
    “I am happy that I will resume my training soon back in Shanghai,” said the Shanghai native. He turned into an instant national hero with the Olympic glory③ and one of the most popular Olympic gold medalists, taking part in scores of celebration activities since he returned to China early September.
    “My regular training has been interrupted for such a long time that I think I can only run at about 13.5 seconds now,” said Liu, who clocked a world record-tying time of 12.91 to clinch the title.
    “I would rather forget what I have achieved in the past and try my best to realize a higher goal,” he said.
    Liu already missed the Berlin Golden League Series on Sunday and won’t be able to catch the IAAF Grand Prix final slated for September 18-19 in Monaco.

    D．Liu Xiang was refreshed after so many social activities

    Tilly Smith, the 11-year-old British girl, who was called as “Angle of the Beach”, saved 100 tourists from a Thai beach hit by the tsunami① in 2004 and has been named Child of the Year by readers of a French children’s newspaper.
    She came ahead of a South African Aids orphan, a six-year-old girl who survived a kidnapping②and a young Parisian pop singer to win the Mon Quotidien award. Tilly had studied tsunamis with her geography teacher, Andrew Kearney, shortly before flying to Thailand for a holiday with her parents and younger sister last year. As she watched the waves suddenly begin to move back, and the sea was bubbling③, she warned her mother, Penny, that the beach was about to be struck by a tsunami. Mrs Smith and her husband, Colin, warned other holidaymakers and hotel staff and scores of people were cleared from Maikhao beach at Phuket.
    Tilly, now 11, and back in Thailand for anniversary commemorations④of the disaster, said: “It’s really good, just to know about tsunamis or any natural disaster in case you are in one. I’m very glad that I was able to say on the beach that a tsunami was coming. And I’m glad that they listened to me.”
    Tilly is unaware of her great popularity among French children. Her picture appears on the front page of Mon Quotidien, which is read by 10 to 14-year-olds.
    “Our readers chose Tilly because they could identify with her,” said Francois Dufour. “To be a pop star at 11 seems impossible, and the idea of having Aids or being kidnapped is far from their lives.”
    1. The passage mainly wants to tell readers that ______.
    A. a little girl saved 100 tourists out of a tsunami
    B. British “Angle of the Beach” was named Child of the Year
    C. many people came for anniversary commemorations
    D. the tsunami was able to be avoided
    2. The underlined words “Mon Quotidien” (in Paragraph 4) should be the name of ______.
    A. a magazine      B. a book       C. a novel       D. a newspaper
    3. Which of the following about Tilly Smith is TRUE?
    A. She could make full use of her knowledge from books.
    B. She was ever kidnapped by a pop singer.
    C. She visited Thailand by boat with her parents.
    D. She had expected to attract the French children.
    4. According to the Tilly Smith’s knowledge, when there is a tsunami, ______.
    A. the sea water will not be clear         B. the sea will be bubbling when moving back
    C. the sea water will make great noise     D. the sea will be bubbling when moving forward
