    I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of whom laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm       .
    "I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very      , I will do!"
    When it was possible, he would spend an hour       to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,       himself to be the person in the speech.
    "In the beginning, the chickens looked so      , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been     by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me    . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more     and I had a better understanding of the exact     of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
    "You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He     believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not    much.' During the whole childhood,      I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being     at, so I became a stammer. From then on, I kept    in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared  , therefore I regained my   ."
    Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most     missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can      them by yourself.

    While the presence of rats in homes may cause anxiety and annoyance, they rarely result in driving out the residents. But that is exactly what happened to the inhabitants of the 10­square­mile Hawadax Island off the coast of Alaska, almost 230 years ago. Now thanks to a five­year effort by scientists, the terribly silent “Rat Island” as it had been called for many years has been returned to its rightful owners ——birds!
    Hawadax Island is part of a chain of volcanic islands in the Bering Sea called the Aleutian Islands. The rats that arrived there in 1780, when a Japanese ship carrying them broke down nearby, completely destroyed the native population because the environment of the island was not built to defend its animals from these predators. There isn't any tree on the Island, which meant that the birds were accustomed to building their nests low in the ground, giving the rodents(啮齿动物) easy access to both eggs and baby chicks. As years passed, the birds that had called the island home for thousands of years became endangered and eventually, disappeared completely.
    In 2007, the U．S. FWS (Fish and Wildlife Service) started a serious plan to rid the island of the rats and try bringing back the beautiful birds that had once called it home. Given that there were an estimated 10,000 rodents inhabiting “Rat Island” and the fact that they re­produce rapidly, it was not an easy task. But by 2009, the Island was officially declared rat free!
    Then slowly but surely, the birds began to return. Unfortunately, some of the pioneers were unintentionally killed from the leavings of the raticide, a poison that had been used to wipe out the rodents. But now it seems things are becoming more stable and the Island is starting to increasingly look like its former self. Before the transformation, “Hawadax”， also known as “Rat Island”， was a silent and ghostly place with bird bones, snail remains and rocks covered in rat feces(粪便)．
    Today, birds' singing and flying in and out is a common sight. Tufted puffins and song sparrows, which had long disappeared, are gradually making their way back. Scientists have also been observing an increase in ground nesting and shorebirds. Though the Island is still not back to its full glory, the signs are encouraging and things can only get better, as time passes.
    小题1:The underlined word “that”in Para.1 probably refers to ________.
    A．the presence of rats
    B．birds' being driven out
    C．birds' returning to the island
    D．residents' worrying about rats
    小题2:Birds on Hawadax Island became an easy target because ________.
    A．this island was treeless
    B．they nested randomly
    C．they reproduced too rapidly
    D．their chicks were extremely weak
    小题3:From the passage, we can know the plan of US FWS ______.
    A．has helped the island fully recovered
    B．cost little but benefited greatly
    C．involved poisoning the rats on a large scale
    D．accomplished its goal after exactly 24 months
    小题4:Which would be the best title for the passage?
    A．FWS Help Get Rare Birds Back to Alaska Island
    B．Japanese Changed a Bird Paradise into Rat Island
    C．FWS Plan to Drive Rats Out Of Rat Island
    D．Alaska's Rat Island Returns to a Bird Paradise

    Johnny the Explorer
    Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields and, two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.
    By the time he was seven, Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “I just like seeing places,” Johnny told them.
    Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.
    It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.
    In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed mathematics and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. “An explorer!” he answered. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer in this modern age,” they tried to tell him. But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!
    Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper. A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were jobs for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.
    小题1:At what age did Johnny board a plane for the first time?
    A．ThreeB．SevenC．TwelveD．Not mentioned
    小题2:Johnny frequently left home because ______.
    A．he preferred to stay alone
    B．he enjoyed seeing new places
    C．he couldn’t do well at school
    D．he didn’t get along well with his parents
    小题3:People around Johnny ______.
    A．tried to stop him from slipping away
    B．kept following him to get him back
    C．booked tickets for him if necessary
    D．were clear about how he travelled abroad
    小题4:From the passage, we can learn that ______.
    A．Johnny worked for a daily paper
    B．Johnny lacked a sense of adventure
    C．Johnny went exploring along the Amazon River
    D．Johnny went to Brazil two months after he finished school

    Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
    White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（车座）and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
    The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
    小题1:When Phil White returned from his trip, he________.
    A．broke the world recordB．collected money for Oxfam
    C．destroyed several bikesD．travelled about 1,300 hours
    小题2:What does the word "epic" in Paragraph l most probably mean _____.
    A．Very slow but exciting.B．Very long and difficult.
    C．Very smooth but tiring.D．Very lonely and depressing.
    小题3:During his journey around the world, Phil White _______.
    A．fought heroically against robbers in Iran
    B．experienced the extremes of heat and cold
    C．managed to ride against the wind in Australia

    In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine，a        was lying on the grass，reading a book with        concentration. Near her，another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was        with his back against a tree and had a        on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was       in his task, like the first child.
          the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of        while teachers wandered among them, talking to them,        them, and encouraging their efforts.
          I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it        to me that a visitor here would        have thought he had entered a formal school. He would have been even more      if he had been told that the children he was        came from different kinds of academic levels.
    That        has been staying with me ever since. I have been        about some problems. Why in many schools are our children        asked to acquire skills in a way        from a real-life context（情境）? Why does a        school child so often become a defeated school failure?
    Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said, “      of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we        our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.

    Once I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.
    I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn seriously counted from one to twenty in their best accent. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks, and for the rest of the evening there was general cheerful conversation—interrupted only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.
    Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.
    I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the choice of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to—though for some years afterwards it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.
