What do Tom Sawyer and Jumping Frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with (使……入迷) life along the river——the steamboats, the giant lumber（木头）rafts, and the people who worked on them.

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of Twain’s best loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There’s also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It’s a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it’s fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!

Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction, it’s based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you’ll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain’s boyhood home.

1.Which of the following statements about Mark Twain is TRUE?

A. He was born in Hannibal.

A. Bob, painting the longest.

B. Julia, painting most carefully.

C. Jim, painting in the newest way.

D. John, painting in the shortest time.

4.From the white fence at Twain’s boyhood home, we know that ________.

A. the story of Tom Sawyer is based partly on Twain’s experiences.

B. the story of Tom Sawyer is based totally on Twain’s imagination.

C. Twain’s old house is painted by the fence painting competitors.

D. Twain’s old house is visited by people from all over the country.

Hu Li’s heart sank due to the color of the air. Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City to Beijing last week, she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze (炭灰色的阴霾) . The 39-year-old businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade, and this past month, she said, brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen. It gave her husband a cough and left her seven-year-old daughter housebound (足不出户) . “My husband as well as I is working here, so we have no choice,” she said. “But if we had a choice, we’d like to escape from Beijing.”

The extended heavy pollution over the last month, which caused punishment in return for a day last week-called the “airpocalypse” by Internet users-has largely changed the way that Chinese think about the country’s air. On one day, pollution levels were 30 times higher than levels considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO). Flights were cancelled. Roads were closed. One hospital in east Beijing reported they had treated more than 900 children for breathing issues. Bloomberg found that for most of January, Beijing’s air was worse than that of an airport smoking area.

The smog’s most threatening aspect is its high concentration (浓度) of PM

2. 5-particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, causing breathing infections, lung cancer and possibly damaging children’s development. The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year, 65% of them in Asia.

1.Which conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?

A. Hu Li is living in Beijing.

B. Hu Li traveled to Tianjin for business.

C. The haze is harmful to people.

D. The pollution is the worst in Beijing’s history.

2.The extended heavy pollution has largely changed .

A. the way they traveled

B. the opinion about national air

C. the way they lived their life

D. the lifestyle of Internet users

3.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Hu Li’s Attitudes to Beijing’s Haze

B. The Damage of Beijing’s Haze

C. WHO Suggests Improving Beijing’s Air

D. What Caused Air Pollution in Beijing

Forty years ago, Finland was a small country with mediocre（普通）public schools. Today, Finland is still small but no one calls Finland’s public schools mediocre any more.

In 2000, the Finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA. Finland has stayed near the top ever since, while the U.S. scores around the middle.

Pasi Sahlberg, an official with Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture, is in Seattle this week to share the story of Finland’s success, and what states like Washington can learn from it.

Sahlberg’s message, although he is too polite to put it so bluntly（坦率）: Stop testing so much, trust teachers more; give less homework; shorten the school day.

On Tuesday, in a room filled with teachers, principals, professors, school-board members and policy makers, Sahlberg joked about the Finns’ reputation（名声） for being a quiet, humble people. “When Finland hit the top of the PISA,” he said, “the biggest disbelievers were Finns.”

More seriously, Finland never set out to create the world’s top school system. Instead, he said, the country decided in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a student’s success didn’t depend on family background.

“Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools, rather than on competition. Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores,” he said, “Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals. Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland, and design their own tests. There are no national tests, except one at the end of high school.”

That’s just the start. Along with a shorter school day, Finnish students don’t even start school until they are 7 years old. Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework.

“But Finland,”he said,“succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the U.S. and other countries. And those countries, ”he said, “can learn from Finland, too.”

1.What might be the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To introduce a Finnish official.

B. To compare the education systems of Finland and the US.

C. To share the story of Finland’s success in education.

D. To ask the US to improve its education.

2.People first learned Finland’s success in education from_____.

A. its students’ performance in an international exam.

B. its international exchange programs.

C. lectures given by Pasi Sahlberg.

D. its small-sized public schools.

3.Which of the following can contribute to Finland’s success in education?

a. Giving students fewer tests.

b. Giving teachers more trust.

c. Evaluating students’ family backgrounds.

d. Creating the world’s top school system.

e. Starting school late.

A. a,b,c B. c,d,e C. a,b,e D. b,c,d

4.What Pasi Sahlerg said in Paragraph 7 suggested that ______.

A. children should start school as early as possible.

B. competition among teachers might be harmful to education.

C. the US education system is still the most advanced.

D. it’s necessary to set up a national curriculum.

China produces 58,000 tons of silk each year．Yet one of the most popular silk companies in the world is Jim Thompson, a brand based in Thailand．Thompson, a Delaware native, was trained to be an architect in the mid－1920s, but then joined the United States army during the World War II．He was soon appointed to the CIA and traveled around the world, including Thailand, where he fell in love with the people and their country．

Being aware of the potential in silk trade, Thompson returned to Thailand to start his own silk business upon his retirement in 1946. At that time, silk production was becoming weaker due to the slow collection process. To revive（振兴）the business, in 1947, he took a variety of silk clothes back to New York City to see if the product would be marketable to foreign consumers. He received a positive response, so the Jim Thompson Silk Company was founded in 1948．

After the establishment of his company, silk costumes soon appeared in Broadway plays and popular films such as Ben Hur, and Thai royalty, such as Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, began wearing silk often．Many also think his work contributed greatly to the Thai economy, since the silk industry continues to employ thousands of Thai citizens even today．

Jim Thompson’s success is no mystery．However, his disappearance on March 26, 1967 certainly is one．Thompson made a trip to Malaysia to visit friends and one day , ventured into the jungle (丛林) on an afternoon walk．He was never seen again despite search parties sent out by the Royal Army Air Corps and British troops．Many have their own theories on his disappearance, but none have been completely confirmed．

We know music is very important in our daily life. Today most stores, stations, restaurants and other places play music. Do you notice music playing at any of these places when you go somewhere? You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.

Scientists believe that music influences the way people behave. They think that the sound of western classical(古典的) music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without music, people spend even less.

Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. Some restaurants play fast music during meal time. This makes people eat faster and leave quickly. Restaurants can make more money in this way.

Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more active. It is true that people learn better when they are relaxed. And listening to music can help you relax.

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

Nitrogen（氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

“We didn't take any notice of it .” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

1.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

C. Trees Contribute To Our Society

D. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

2.In Simard's opinion, trees _______

A. compete for survival

B. protect their own wealth

C. depend on each other

D. provide support for dying trees

3.We can learn from the passage that____________.

A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.

B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.

C. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

D. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.

4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_________.

A. how “tree societies” work

B. how trees grow old

C. how forestry industry develops

D. how young trees survive
