    Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
    If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
    Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
    Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as he seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
    小题1:The main idea of the passage is that      .
    A．plants are important for lifeB．plants cannot grow without air
    C．there are many plants around usD．we cannot live without water
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
    A．Plants can be divided into main types: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
    B．All fruits have seeds in them.
    C．Seeds are protected by the fruits.
    D．Some plants grow from spores.
    小题3:The underlined word "non-flowering" means        .
    A．开花的B．有花的C．多花的D．不开花的
    小题4:In “shady places” there is        .
    A．a lot of sunshineB．a lot of waterC．no waterD．little sunshine

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:A
    文章主要讲的是植物对生物的重要性。
    小题1:主旨大意题。文章第一段第一行“Life could not go if there were no plants.”可知生命要是没有植物的话就不肯生存下去了。
    小题2:事实细节题。文章最后一段第一行“Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. ”可知并非所有的植物都有种子。
    小题3:猜测词义题。non为否定前缀，故翻译为没有花的，不开花的
    小题4:推理判断题。天很据最后一句When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants，当孢子落到潮湿的和shady places的地方，他们就会长成植物。因为植物的生长需要水分和阳光，所以我们可以判断选A

    A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
    The conversation soon turned into complaints about  36  in work and life. Offering his  37  coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and  38  with a large pot of coffee and a  39  of cups---porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some beautiful—telling them to  40  themselves to the coffee.
    When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “if you have  41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been  42 , leaving behind the plain and  43  ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the  44  of your problems and stress.”
    “Be assured that the cup  45  adds no quality to the coffee.  46  it is just more expensive and in some cases  47  hides what we drink.”
    “48  all of you really want is coffee, not the cup,  49  you consciously went for the best cups…. And then you began  50  each other’s cups.”

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we  54  to enjoy the coffee. Value the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups  55 you … enjoy the coffee instead.

    In Greek mythology（神话）, the gods punished Sisyphus by forcing him to roll a rock up a steep hill for eternity（来世）. But he was probably better off than if they’d forced him to sit and stare into space until the end of time, conclude the authors of a new study on keeping busy. They found that people who have something to do, even something pointless, are happier than people who sit around.
    “The general phenomenon I’m interested in is why people are too busy doing what they are doing in modern society,” says Christopher K. Hsee, of the University of Chicago. “People are running around, working hard, the way beyond the basic level.” Sure, there are reasons, like making a living, earning money, and so on. But, Hsee says, “I think there’s something deeper: We have extra energy and we want to avoid idleness.”
    In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. Not everyone chose to go to the faraway location. Two-thirds chose the lazy option. Yet those who chose to stay busy by going to the faraway location were found to be happier than those who had stayed put.
    But if the chocolate bars offered at the  two locations were different, they were more likely to choose the far location—because they could make up a good and acceptable reason for the trip, Hsee and his colleagues say.
    Hsee thinks it may be possible to use this principle—people like being busy, and they like being able to show being busy right or reasonable—to benefit society. “If we can find a way for idle people to engage in activity that is at least not harmful, I think it is better than destructive business,” he says. Hsee himself has been known to  give a research assistant a useless task when he doesn’t have anything to do, so he isn’t sitting around the office getting bored and depressed.
    小题1:The author starts the passage with the Greek mythology story to ________.
    A．make it easier to understand the passage
    B．draw readers’ attention to Greek culture
    C．show Greek people enjoyed being busy
    D．bring about the subject of the passage
    小题2:According to Hsee, people are busy in modern society because they want to _________.
    A．make others think they are not lazy
    B．keep their energy at the basic level
    C．earn more money to support their family
    D．avoid the state of having nothing to do
    小题3:The underlined phrase “stayed put” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
    A．remained thereB．kept occupiedC．got aroundD．stayed awake
    小题4:How does Hsee’s assistant probably feel while performing a task?
    A．Blue.B．Empty.C．Contented.D．Trapped.

    You’re standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking—except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at what you say. Or maybe you just aren’t brave enough to speak.
    I’ve been there, and so have many other people all over the world. Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬进) into our mouths and stops us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.
    I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes visits me. But when I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk.
    One summer, I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers. I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them if they wanted to drink Coke or Sprite. I had to tell the people in the kitchen if someone wanted pickle（泡菜）on their sandwich.
    This job taught me how to speak with people.
    You may not be old enough to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.
    If you do these things for a while, the “shyness” snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.
    小题1:The example in the first paragraph is used to          .
    A．show that everyone has the right to speak in class
    B．tell readers that it is not right to laugh at others
    C．introduce the fact that many people have a shyness problem
    D．argue that it is alright to keep silent in public
    小题2:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means       .
    A．he’s been in many situations that make other people feel shy
    B．he is confident that he can find a way to get over shyness
    C．he is sad because he knows he will always be shy
    D．like many other people he once was troubled by shyness
    小题3:The author’s duties in the restaurant included           .
    A．cooking the meals for customers
    B．taking the customers’ orders
    C．discussing the menu with the manager
    D．helping people in the kitchen
    小题4:Who was the article written for?
    A．Shy early teenagers.
    B．College students.
    C．People who work at a restaurant.
    D．People who need a part-time job.

    Obama Still Smokes in Secret
    US President Barack Obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers. He has just signed a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products.
    At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of smokers who took up the habit before their 18 th birthday.
    Obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hadn’t completely kicked the habit. Every now and then he still smokes in secret.
    “As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time. Do I still smoke sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.” Obama said at a news conference.
    “I don' t do it in front of my lads．I don ?t do it in front of my family．I would say that I am 95% cured, but there are times when I mess up, " he said．
    "Once you go down this path, it' s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law is so important．The new law is not about me, it' s about the next generation of kids coming up．What we don ' t want is kids going down that path," he said．
    Nearly 20% of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases．

    The Gullah people in the southern US have honored their culture for more than 100 years. Living mainly on the Sea Islands and coastal areas of South Carolina, Georgia and Floride, the Gullah people, an African-American group, have a rich culture including their own language. It is a Creole language created by slaves who came to the US from the West Africa in the 1800s. It combines West African languages with English.
    For many years efforts have been made to save the Gullah language. One project began in 1979. Its goal was to translate the New Testament part of the Bible into Gullah. Experts say that it was a difficult process because Gullah is not a written language. It is a spoken language only.
    A team of Gullah speakers began working on the translation to make the Bible easier to understand for those who spoke Gullah as their main language. The Gullah version is called De Nyew Testament. It is written in English on one side of the page, and next to it, there is a Gullah translation. De Nyew Testament was published by the American Bible Society. The project also received help from the Summer Institute of Linguistics, Wycliffe Bible Translators, the United Bible Societies and the Penn Centre
    Experts believe that the translated Bible is a major step towards saving the Gullah language and traditions. “This is more than a Bible translation,” says Robert Hodgson, at the American Bible Society. “De Nyew Testament raises the Gullah language and culture to a new level.” Ardell Greene is a member of the translation team. She calls the book “a treasure”. She says that the Gullah version of the Bible will be read in churches and will help young people keep the Gullah language alive.
    小题1:According to the passage, De Nyew Testament can be best seen as _______.
    A．a good version of the Bible
    B．something difficult to understand
    C．a spoken form of the Gullah language
    D．the effort to save the Gullah language
    小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Gullah communities can be found in the southern US.
    B．Gullah is influenced by both English and West African languages.
    C．De Nyew Testament is a complete Bible translation.
    D．Ardell Greene thinks highly of De Nyew Testament.
    小题3:What does this passage mainly focus on?
    A．Efforts to save the Gullah language.
    B．Different versions of the Bible.
    C．The history of the Gullah people.
    D．The culture of the Gullah people.

    Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these  41   are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are  42   and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows  43   and pale and has changed so much that it is almost  44   to the parents. It was then  45   that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and  46   the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 47.  However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been  48 . In those cases there was often a way to get the  49   baby back. You could  50   the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
