    　　I had always planned to take a tour of Yosemite, and I finally fulfilled my dream last December．I cannot help but express how much I enjoyed my tour of Yosemite．

    　　As the best-known scenic spot, Yosemite National Park is actually a natural wonder．The park is located in the middle of the Nevada mountain range．It has huge rocks, great waterfalls and fantastic valleys．

    　　I really need to thank my tour guide, Tony．He was very helpful and he told me a lot of interesting facts about the scenic spots we saw．As I couldn't drive, the tour guide was also my driver．He picked me up at 8 o'clock in the morning．He was a professional and experienced tour guide, so he tried everything to make sure that I had an interesting and relaxing tour．As he was driving, he kept on telling me about the wildlife and the unique scenery in this surprising land．

    　　Bridalveil Fall was our first stop．The best time to see it is in summer, but I didn't go there in the hot season, so the waterfall was not as good as it could have been．I still took a photo of myself standing in front of this terrific waterfall before leaving for my next stop．When I first saw El Capitan, the largest standing sandstone structure in the world, I knew why it was called “El Capitan”．The huge structure dwarfed(使矮小)everything around it．Though I was used to seeing skyscrapers, nothing had prepared me for this．

    　　I felt so happy and excited after I came back from Yosemite．I haven't had this feeling for a very long time．Happiness usually comes when we do activities that accomplish something, which is a deep feeling of joy that often lasts a long time．So I decided to go out for a trip constantly to make myself happy and relaxed．

    阅读下面短文，并根据文章后的题目进行简答。

    　　“What's your English name?”I asked in my first oral class．“Goat”came the reply．I tried to keep myself from laughing, as I'm sure the poor boy had no idea of the other meanings associated with(与……有关)the word goat：“a dirty old man”or“a foolish person”．

    　　Later, my thoughts turned to why Chinese students take an English name．Obviously, for foreign teachers such as me, English names help us to learn names and recognize students more rapidly．And it's a means of easily setting up communication with Westerners．

    　　As Sharon, a student displays(展示)her knowledge of western culture and ideas．Once Sharon has graduated, if she is fortunate to find employment that involves(涉及)regular communication across international boundaries, relationships will be smoothed if others can easily remember her name．

    　　Parents in English-speaking countries do not usually choose words at random to name their child．For every parent who seeks to be truly creative by inveniting a unique(独一无二)name, there will be nine others selecting from a recognized book of names．These books have been passed on from generation to generation．

    　　While English names do have meanings, this is rarely of great importance for parents in making their choice．Often, associations with heroes, pop idols(偶像)will influence(影响)a decision．My son's name, Luke, was chosen because of a film“Cool Hand Luke”, with the US star Paul Newman．Other names are chosen because of family connections, after a beloved grandfather, for example．

    　　There are a great many names to choose from, and at any one time some will be more fashionable(时髦的)than others．When our present Queen was crowned, many baby girls were christened Elizabeth, while Princess Diana's marriage to Charles led to a generation of Dianas．Most parents seeking to be original or unique(特殊)look through lists for names that haven't been used regularly in recent years．

    　　So, if you are thinking of taking an English name stop and think．Before you accept any old name, make sure you are happy with its sound, its meaning and its associations．

    1．Why did the author feel funny when she heard the name“Goat”?

    _____________________________________________．

    2．What's the meaning of the underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph?

    　　Comic(喜剧的)book superhero Spider-Man uses tiny hairs on his fingertips to climb up walls．But he could have had another secret weapon to help him stick．

    　　Scientists have now found that some spiders can also make silk in their feet, which may sometimes help them get a firmer grip on a surface．

    　　Spiders are good at gripping walls with their legs．Thousands of little hairs on their feet make it possible．To test whether spiders also make these hairs wet to improve grip, scientists watched zebra tarantulas crawl(爬行)up glass slides．

    　　When they tilted a glass slide until it was almost vertical, the spider slipped a few millimeters before attaching itself again．The scientists were surprised to see little threads(线)stretching from its feet to the slide．When they studied the spider’s feet under a special microscope, they found tiny silk-shooting spouts(吐出)among the hairs．

    　　This was a surprise because scientists had previously thought spiders only use special organs near their stomachs to make silk．

    　　It’s possible that, a long time ago, feet were the first body parts of spiders to produce silk．Only later in their evolutionary(进化)history did spiders develop spinnerets on their abdomens(腹部)to produce silk for webs(网)．

    　　If so, the researchers say, this could mean that the silk’s original purpose was to , rather than to build homes or trap prey(猎物)．

    阅读下面的短文，根据文章后所给的题目进行简答。

    　　Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)．The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however．When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading．

    　　My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children．In the first lesson, I found out that she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she ________．When I told her I would get her a bus schedule(时刻表), she told me it would not help because she could not read it．She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed．Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list．Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标示), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted．

    　　As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence(自信心), which encouraged her to continue in her studies．She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket．After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt．At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading．She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories．When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off．As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well．I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before．

    　　As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others．In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did．
