Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.
The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think and we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.
Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.
Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval (间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how lose they were to the actual spark (闪光).
小题1:According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley____.
A.rains usually come without thunder and lightning.
B.it is usually dry in April
C.children pay no attention to the two natural wonders.
D.parents are not interested in thunder and lightning.
小题2:We believe that lightning is a downward motion because_______.
A.we were taught so by our parents from our childhood.
B.we are taken in by our sense of vision.
C.it is a common natural sight.
D.it is a truth proved by science.
小题3:What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?
A.Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.
B.Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.
C.Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.
D.There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.
小题4:The underlined word “activity”  is most closely related to the word (s) _____.
A.cloudB.lightning strikesC.lightning flashesD.thunderstorms
小题5:It can be concluded from the passage that _______.
A.we should not believe what we see or hear.
B.things moving downward are more noticeable.
C.people sometimes may have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena.
D.adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena.

Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.
Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace(记忆痕).” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
小题1:We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that ___________       .
A.bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark
B.it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of
C.chemical substances carry certain memories
D.memory is stored in the brain as a substance
小题2:The way to pick out the items on the first list from the second is known as ________ .
A.recognitionB.recallC.memorizationD.relearning
小题3:What is considered as a measure of how much one has remembered?
A.The length of the list.
B.The type of list items.
C.The time difference of relearning.
D.The time difference of brain working.
小题4:A good way to train an animal to do something quickly is to ________.
A.make the action easyB.praise it in words
C.reward it with foodD.weaken its motivation

How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.
Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”. 
A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.
One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.
小题1:The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means “_______”.
A.in a different family environment
B.in a different family tradition
C.in different family crises
D.in different families
小题2:In terms of language development, later-borns ________.
A.get their parents’ individual guidance
B.learn a lot from their elder siblings
C.experience a lot of difficulties
D.pick up words more quickly
小题3:What was found about fights among siblings?
A.Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.
B.Siblings in some families fought frequently.
C.Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.
D.Siblings learned to get on together from fights.
小题4:The word “feminine” (in Para. 4) means “_______”.
A.having qualities of parents
B.having qualities of women
C.having defensive qualities
D.having extraordinary qualities

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?
Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.
Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.
At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.
As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.
小题1:The author develops the second paragraph mainly      .
A.by classificationB.by comparison
C.by exampleD.by process
小题2:What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A.Control.B.EvaluateC.Obtain.D.Increase.
小题3:GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________.
A.practicing “green” farming
B.use of less chemicals
C.fair distribution of their crops
D.using more crops for fuel
小题4:Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?
A.OptimisticB.DefensiveC.DisapprovingD.Casual

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love :12+15+22+5="54," and luck : 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t , either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地)attitude towards failure(失败),you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion , what is the most important things in a person’s life?
A.Hard-work.B.Knowledge.C.Money.D.Attitude.
小题2:According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _________.

New findings suggest that brainy card games such as contract bridge may temporarily(临时地) raise production of a key blood cell including in fighting off illness. After 90 minutes of play, bridge players had increased levels of immune(免疫) cells, according to the research reported last week.
A researcher, Diamond, studied bridge players from a women’s bridge club. She chose bridge players because the game includes skills stimulating(刺激) a part of the brain called the dorsolateral cortex. Earlier animal research suggests that this part of the brain may play a role in the immune system.
The findings are based on blood samples drawn from 12 women players. Their blood samples showed a rise in levels of white blood cells called T cells after they played bridge for 90 minutes. T cells are produced by the thymus gland(胸腺) and used by the immune system against diseases.
The T cell count jumped significantly in eight of the bridge players, and slightly in the other four. The findings contribute to the field of neuroimmunology(神经免疫学), whose name reflects the fact that the nervous system and the immune system are not considered separate and isolated(独立的) systems. What isn’t clear is whether the help to the immune system from an activity like contract bridge is lasting or temporary. It is also not clear whether the increase in T cells could finally be targeted against special illnesses.
小题1:Playing bridge can help one to fight off diseases because it can _______.
A.raise production of a key blood cell B.make people joyful
C.aid digestionD.make break away from the bad habits
小题2:Diamond chose to study bridge players for the research because _______.
A.the players are good friends of hers
B.she loves playing bridge
C.this game stimulates a part of the brain that has something to do with immune system
D.she is a clever manager, who operates her bridge club well
小题3:A T cell is _______ cell.
A.a brainB.a white blood
C.a red blood D.a kind of dangerous blood
小题4:Which of the following is true according to this article?
A.The immune system and the brain system used to be considered separate and isolated systems.
B.The help to the immune system that is brought about by playing bridge can last for a long time.
C.Cortex is a kind of blood cell.
D.The new findings are impossible.

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday, this still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.
小题1:What is the author’s attitude toward dreaming?
A.He thinks it puzzling
B.He likes it
C.He is interested in it
D.He doesn’t accept it as part of his life
小题2: For the author of the passage, dreaming is________.    .
A.another kind of existence
B.an irritating little habit
C.a horrible but wonderful experience
D.a true reflection of reality
小题3:The author of the passage suggests that people who say they never go out for a walk are_____.
A.interestingB.unbelievable
C.mysterious(难以理解的)D.lazy
小题4:Why does the author of the passage complain?
A.Because most people are overexcited about their dreams
B.Because most people are not interested in talking about their dreams
C.Because most people have had dreams most of the time
D.Because most people consider their dreams of too much importance
