    Is it fair for restaurants to ban little eaters? In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.

    YES

    There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers.

    ----Kate Barker

    Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s.

    ------Mike Vuick

    Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise.

    ------Dale Levitsky

    NO

    Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there.

    --------Nicholas Song

    Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too.

    -------Elliott Hall

    1.The restaurant in Monronroeville refuses ___________ to eat there.

    A. women

    B. pets

    C. men

    D. kids

    2.Dale Levit sky thinks parents sometimes don’t like eating at home because _________________.

    A. they are too busy

    B. kids are too noisy

    C. they dislike doing the dishes

    D. restaurant food is more delicious

    3.Who thinks it is wrong to ban kids?

    A. Mike Vuick

    B. Kate Barker

    C. Nicholas Song

    D. Alice Roseman

    4.Which of the following opinion is mentioned in the passage?

    A. Not all kids have bad behaviors.

    B. Children waste too much food.

    C. Boys make more noise than girls.

    D. Restaurants needn’t help parents.

    To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey（猎物）, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.

    So important is the web to an orb-web spider's survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier（憔悴的）, it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands（线）. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.

    The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively, labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day' web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down．

    Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider's highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate（无脊推动物）. If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web. One spider will finish building the incomplete web of another.

    1.What is probably the best title for the passage?

    A. Secrets of Spiders' Adaptability

    B. Secrets of the Spiders' Life

    C. Importance of Webs to Spiders

    D. Spiders' Highly Preprogrammed Brain

    2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.

    B. One Web-building spider usually conducts one web.

    C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.

    D. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.

    3.A spider conducts a wider-meshed web when ________.

    A. it is 16 days old

    B. it is getting weaker

    C. it has fewer wends

    D. it hunts for food

    4.A spider's ability to finish an incomplete web proves that ________.

    A. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silk

    B. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web

    C. the incomplete web is much more important

    D. it has a highly preprogrammed brain

    Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble——and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP（超感官知觉）.

    ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events（事件）before they happen, or events that are happening some distance（距离）away.

    Here is an example: A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she shouted, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telephone came. The woman’s father had died of a heart illness. He died sitting in a chair.

    There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental（心理的）messages. Here’s another example——one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

    A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into fires. Everyone was killed!

    Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others say that are ESP in true, From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

    1.ESP lets people know about _________.

    A. their dreams

    B. events after they happen

    C. events before they happen

    D. heart illness

    2.In his passage the word “coincidences” means ________.

    A. things which do not happen

    B. things which happen by accident

    C. things which are only dreams

    D. things dreamed of only by sick people

    3.The best title of this passage is _________.

    A. Sixth Sense B. The Human Mind

    C. A Big Lie D. A Terrible Dream

    12．An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond．The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome．
    In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit （追求） to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools．The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （发起）the"If All of Seattle Read the Same Book"project in 1998．Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong kong．
    In Chicago，the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the"One Book，One Chicago"program．As a result，reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city．Across the US，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character．
    The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population．This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved．Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy
    And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself．
    Ultinatel was Nancy points out，the level of sucicess is not meastured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process．or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word．

    46．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy？B
    A．To invite authors to guide readers．
    B．To encourage people to read and share．
    C．To involve people in communnity service．
    D．To promote the friendship between cities．
    47．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict？C
    A．They had little interest in reading．
    B．They were too busy to read a book．
    C．They came from many different backgrounds
    D．They lacked support from the locat government
    48．According to the passage，where would the project be more easily carried out？D
    A．In large communities with little sense of unity
    B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
    C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
    D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
    49．The underlined words"shared a word"in Paragraph 5probably meanA

    10．History is a record of what has happened in the past．（36）C The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again．It allows us to learn from the past，both the mistakes made and the successes achieved．
    One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome tremendous challenges in their life．These challenges，although particular to a person，or to a certain time in the past，or occurring in a different country or culture，all convey the same thing．（37）E
    （38）B He encountered many failures while on the road to finally inventing the modern day light bulb．He could be held out as an example of a person who never gave up．（39）D However，he did not let those failures stop him．He had a dream and he just kept trying different things until he did reach success．
    Or，consider the story of Abraham Lincoln who managed to become President of the United States even though he suffered many setbacks and personal losses．Most of us only realize the success of Mr．Lincoln becoming President．（40）F His life was not an easy one．His story is one that motivates us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we have in life．

    A．History has a lot of influence on us．
    B．Take for example the story of Thomas Edison．
    C．History has some very unique qualities about it．
    D．I am sure he was discouraged by his many failures．
    E．They convey wisdom in their short stories of perseverance．
    F．Few of us knew about the many challenges he had to overcome．
    G．Only those with courage to face challenges can hope to live their dreams．
