    The human body has hundreds of muscles. The three types are skeletal(骨骼的) muscles, smooth muscles and cardiac, or heart muscles. Each kind of muscle has a special job to do. 
    The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones; they actually hold the skeleton together. Strong cords, called tendons(肌腱), help connect these muscles to the bones. Skeletal muscles give us strength and allow us to move in many ways. If you look at skeletal muscles through a microscope, you will see that it has bands of fibers that look like stripes(条纹). These stripes are called striations. Skeletal muscles usually move because the brain has sent a conscious message to them telling them what to do. This is called voluntary movement.
    Another type of muscle is smooth muscle. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not have striations. This is found in organs such as the stomach, the bladder(膀胱), the lungs and the eyes. Smooth muscles are smaller than the skeletal muscles and they move involuntarily. The brain tells these muscles what to do, but we aren’t even aware of it. For example, we don’t have to think about breathing or digesting food. The smooth muscles just do their jobs automatically. For this reason smooth muscles are sometimes called involuntary muscles.
    Like smooth muscle, cardiac muscle also works involuntarily. It is a very thick muscle that is found only in the walls of the heart. Its job is to pump blood out of the heart and into blood vessels called arteries(动脉). The arteries help carry the blood to all parts of the body. When the cardiac muscles relax, they let blood back into the heart. Cardiac muscles have striations, just like skeletal muscles do.
    小题1:When we _______, the job is done by smooth muscles.
    A．close our eyesB．kick a ballC．hug our friendsD．lift a suitcase
    小题2:Skeletal muscles and heart muscles are alike because_______.
    A．both can move voluntarily
    B．both are thick muscles
    C．both are bigger than smooth muscles
    D．both have stripes called striations
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Heart muscles are very important because they give us strength and allow us to move.
    B．The heart of human beings completely consists of heart muscle.
    C．The skeletal muscles are connected to the bones by tendons.
    D．Smooth muscle does its work without receiving message from the brain.

    小题1:A
    小题2:D
    小题3:C

    试题分析：本文讲述了人身上的三种肌肉：skeletal(骨骼的) muscles, smooth muscles and cardiac, or heart muscles.以及各种肌肉的特点和作用。
    小题1:A 推理题。根据第三段前3行Another type of muscle is smooth muscle. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not have striations. This is found in organs such as the stomach, the bladder(膀胱), the lungs and the eyes.说明smooth muscle可以在眼部被发现，故当我们闭眼睛的时候，我们要拥到smooth muscle。故A正确。
    小题2:D 细节题。根据文章最后一句Cardiac muscles have striations, just like skeletal muscles do. 说明这两种肌肉都有stripes故D正确。
    小题3:C 细节题。根据第二段前3行The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones; they actually hold the skeleton together. Strong cords, called tendons(肌腱), help connect these muscles to the bones.说明The skeletal muscles是通过肌腱来和骨头相连的，故C项正确。
    点评：本文讲述了人身上的三种肌肉：skeletal(骨骼的) muscles, smooth muscles and cardiac, or heart muscles.属于科普类短文，此类文章的最大的障碍是词汇以及考生对阅读内容的不熟悉，需要考生在阅读的时候有足够的耐心。要养成在上下文串联中猜测词义的能力，根据上下文中出现的同义词，近义词，反义词，以及词义的解释来理解生词。同时要抓住文章的中心，不要受其他信息的影响。要根据题目及选项以及文章的上下文串联合理的判断推理。

    China_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil­shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.
    Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
    Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
    The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
    The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
    小题1:The author writes this passage mainly to________.
    A．teach people how to drive a hybrid car
    B．introduce a new kind of “green” car
    C．show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
    D．announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China
    小题2:The first sentence probably refers to ________.
    A．there will be more and more green land in China
    B．China is still young and lacking experience
    C．China's new cars are combinations of different green models
    D．China has started producing environmentally friendly cars
    小题3:Which of the followings is NOT true?
    A．The hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oil­shortages.
    B．The car's gasoline engine doesn't work until it reaches about 24 km/h.
    C．This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.
    D．A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.
    小题4:What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
    A．They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
    B．They are much quieter than traditional cars.
    C．They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
    D．They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.

    Never argue with one's own understanding.
    The whisper of intelligence is always there, whatever you do.
    If you create a time lag (隔绝层) between the whisper of intelligence and understanding in you and your action, then you are preventing the brain from growing into a new size. When you argue with intelligence, when you postpone acting according to understanding then there is confusion, the brain gets confused.
    The voice of understanding, the voice of intelligence has insecurity about it. How do you know that it is the right thing?
    So we tend to ignore it. Instead we accept authority. We obey.
    But the brain cannot be orderly, competent, accurate and precise if you do not listen to it, if you have no respect. We are so busy with the outside world and its force that the world that is inside us does not command that respect and reverence (敬重), that care and concern from us.
    So one has to be a disciple (信徒) of one's own understanding, and look upon that understanding as the master.
    Sometimes one may commit a mistake, it might be the whim (念头) of the ego and we might mistake the whim, the wish of the ego for the voice of silence and intelligence, but that we have to discover. Unless you commit mistakes, how do you learn to discriminate between the false and the true? In learning there is bound to be a little insecurity, a possibility of committing mistakes. Why should one be terribly afraid of committing mistakes?
    So instead of accepting the authority of habits and conditionings, while one is moving one watches, and when there is a suggestion, do not neglect, ignore, or insult the whisper from within and from one's own intelligence.
    小题1:What will happen if you refuse to follow your own understanding according to the above passage?
    A．Your brain will become smaller.
    B．You will never get help from authority.
    C．You will hardly know the world.
    D．Your own intelligence will stop growing.
    小题2:What is the function of committing mistakes from the view of the author?
    A．Mistakes can make one practical.
    B．Mistakes can make one know the facts.
    C．Mistakes can allow one more time to develop.
    D．Mistakes can improve one’s judgment.
    小题3: The whole passage is developed by ______.
    A．facts and ideasB．reasoning and explaining
    C．scientific experiments D．arguing and debating
    小题4:The best title of the passage might be ______.
    A．Never argue with your own understanding
    B．Never believe any authority while arguing
    C．Never neglect whispers from around you
    D．Never stop training yourself.

    Wildlife faces threats(威胁)from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.
    1．Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.
    When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. And bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.
    2．Avoid harming the natural ecosystem(生态系统)in your area.
    Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.
    3．Have a greener lifestyle.

    Liverpool city council (市政厅) want to clear the city of fat pigeons (鸽子). They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because they normally eat seeds (种子) and insects (昆虫) for their main food, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.
    The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons makes the streets crowded (拥挤)with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.
    Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds—known as ‘robops’—will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different places. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.

    We don’t plan to cry, but it just happens. In fact when we feel sad or angry, a good cry is almost impossible to resist. But if you didn’t know what crying was, you’d have to wonder why some strong feelings started water streaming from people’s eyes and why they seemed to feel better afterwards.
    Now a US researcher had found there may be more in crying than we think. William H. Frey II, author of “Crying: The Mystery of Tears,” believes it may really be one of the body’s clever self-repair mechanisms. Crying may be a way of getting rid of the by-products of stress, he says.
    He has found that tears contain some chemicals which can cause stress. One of these is the hormone prolactin (激素), which is set free when one is feeling stressed. Since women have more of this than men, that might explain why they usually cry more, he suggests.
    Unsurprisingly, Dr Frey’s study seemed to prove that most people feel better after a good cry. And sex has nothing to do with it ––– the result was true for women and men. So, next time you feel like bursting into tears, go ahead. If Dr Frey is right, you’ll be doing yourself a favour.
    小题1:The best title of this passage would be ________.
    A．Why Do We CryB．Crying and Tears.
    C．Dr Frey and Crying.D．Tears and Chemicals
    小题2:According to the author, we feel like crying because________.
    A．crying is one of our habits
    B．we can’t control it
    C．crying is one of the body’s self-repair mechanisms
    D．we can get the by-products of stress by crying
    小题3:According to the passage, men seem less likely to cry than women because_______.
    A．their bodies contain less hormone prolactin
    B．their tears contain more chemicals
    C．they are not so full of feelings as women
    D．the chemicals in their tears can’t cause stress
    小题4:The author advised us________.
    A．to plan to cry very often
    B．not to cry any more
    C．to go outdoors without hesitation
    D．to cry as we want to
    小题5:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Good cries can make most people feel better
    B．Only women can feel better after crying.
    C．It is easy to understand that people feel better after a good cry.
    D．Crying is sometimes impossible to resist.

    Looking for some inspiration or the “write” kind of ideas for your creative stories? To start with, some writers describe winter by using their five senses or their imagination. Others write on their favorite winter activity. Whatever you choose to write about, working on a winter story can always help to improve your writing skills. Now read the following story and see if it helps get rid of any icy writing block you’ ve been struggling with.
    A Winter Adventure 
    Beep, beep. Beep-beep: the alarm clock rang. Slowly, I got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its cold upon. The bitter cold temperature penetrated   （穿透）my socks and I hurried to put my feet in shoes.
    Looking out of the window, I watched the white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. Half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, I prepared to enter the adventure that waited for me outside. I buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. Hat on, I opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.
    In the depths of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. Most of my neighbours were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun had climbed higher into the sky.
    Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, I enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the wintertime. Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snow-scapes, ice crystals, frost and the crisp（清新的）breeze. For them, the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.
    Appreciation depends on contrasts. One cannot love the warmth of April if one has not known the freezing cold of winter. Later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be all the more wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.
    小题1:The underlined word “adventure” refers to____________.
    A．getting out of bed on the cold winter morning.
    B．enjoying the loveliness of the winter outdoors
    C．going skiing on the cold winter morning
    D．throwing snowballs with friends.
    小题2:According to the story A Winter Adventure, most of the neighbours _________.
    A．didn’t work in winterB．stayed up late in winter
    C．missed the beauty of winterD．enjoyed the seasons except winter
    小题3:Which of these statements is true according to the story A Winter Adventure?
    A．Of all the seasons, the writer loves winter most.
    B．The writer regrets that he went out on the freezing cold winter morning.
    C．The writer believes contrast makes our experiences of the seasons lovelier.
    D．The writer values the autumn and summer more than the winter
    小题4:What function does the story A Winter Adventure serve?
    A．To share some winter thoughts with readers.
    B．To show readers how to work on a winter story.
    C．To inspire readers to take more exercise in winter
    D．To tell readers how to appreciate the beauty of winter.

    Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.
    In Korea the school day is long—typically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All this hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming(填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self-study a night.
    The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cut-throat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.
    However, there are some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can't change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the l970s, Finland's educational system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.
    小题1:The students spend the least time in school in         .
    A．the UK B．Finland C．the USA D．Korea
    小题2:According to the text, we think in Korea         .
    A．students spend more time in studying
    B．students are tired of studying in class
    C．students leave their school early
    D．students are always top scorers
    小题3:The underlined phrase “all this hothousing” in Paragragh 2 probably refers to         .
    A．private evening tutoringB．self-study at home
    C．long-hour studyD．school study
    小题4:From Paragragh 3, we can know that         .
    A．Finnish students are less stressed in study
    B．there're also many cramming schools in Britain
    C．students in Korea are the most competitive in Asia
    D．British schools are less competitive than universities
    小题5:According to the author, the key to improving education is         .
    A．the attitude B．the schooling time
    C．star pupils D．new teaching approach
