Last Christmas my friend invited me to watch skating show. Inspired by the wonderful show, and I decided to be a good skater. I started taking the basic training course a few days after. It was not easy at first. I often fall down on the ice, and it hurt indeed. However, by no mean would I give up. I even learned how to fall with properly techniques to avoid being injuring. Finally, I was able to feel like a bird flying on the sky when it was skating at high speed. I was glad what I had made a difference between good and great by practising.

In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement (±ÏÒµµäÀñ)Day. Students plan Homecoming Day many weeks in advance.

Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of school clubs build booths(ÊÛ»õÅï) and sell lemonade(ÄûÃÊÆûË®)£¬apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.

During the day alumni and their wives will gather at the school. They like to look for teachers that they remember. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote the most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the game loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America¡¯s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker£¨Ãû×Ö£©, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning ¡°the high one¡±. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896¡ªthe year when it was named in honour of William McKinley£¨1843¡ª1901£©, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain with an interesting linguistic history, so let¡¯s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore the naming of those continents¡¯ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.

The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning ¡°Abode of Snow¡±, from hima for ¡°snow¡± and ¨¡laya for ¡°abode¡±. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various names such as Himav¨¡ and Himavanta.

In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest £¨1790¡ª1866£©, who was the superintendent £¨¸ºÔðÈË£© of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able to pronounce it.

K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in the Trigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount Godwin Austen after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for the mountain is Chhogori.

Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers £¨³ç°ÝÕߣ©that food will not fail. The name derives(Ô´³ö) from a Sanskrit word meaning ¡°one who gives nourishment¡±.

The Matterhorn¡¯s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the second element of which is apparently Matte ¡°meadow¡±, and Horn, ¡°horn¡±. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting£¨Í»³öµÄ£©peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino ¡°deer-like¡±, which conjures up £¨Ê¹ÏëÆð£©a deer¡¯s antlers.

Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means¡°Mountain by the£¨River£©Nevis¡±. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for ¡°water¡±.

1.How many continents¡¯ mountains are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

2.Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.

A. Nepalese B. Abode of Snow C. Alaya D. Himav¨¡

3.Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

A. Everest was unhappy about the name of Mount Everest at first.

B. K2 was once called Col. H. H. Godwin.

C. Annapurna means ¡°one who offers food¡±.

D. Matterhorn comes from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt.

4.The above mountains¡¯ names come from sources other than _________.

A. color B. a Sanskrit word

C. a person¡¯s name D. geographic name

A dog might be man¡¯s best friend, but my dogs are more like my kids! I think everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog, but owning one is not for the nervousness. It¡¯s work¡ªespecially when it comes to the job of cleaning up their waste. When you clean up after your dogs, your neighbors will love you for keeping those smelly landmines out of their yards. But there are even bigger benefits. You¡¯ll not only be doing your part to keep bacteria out of your yard and neighborhood, you¡¯re also keeping harmful microorganisms away from the drinking water supply.

There are more than 77 million pet dogs in the United States and their waste is found in backyards, neighborhood parks, and the green areas that frequently line small waterways. When you don¡¯t clean up after your dog, heavy rain can carry bacteria from the waste into drains. Dog waste left in parks and other such places can be swept directly into nearby streams. This affects the quality of the water in our streams. These small channels often empty directly into our local drinking water supply or the water where we boat or fish.

Dog waste contains harmful microorganisms like roundworms that can be passed onto humans. This is why dog waste should not be used as fertilizer around your home. And it won¡¯t fertilize your yard either if you leave it behind like other types of fertilizer. Dogs don¡¯t eat the same kinds of natural material that cattle, horses or even elephants eat. The waste from those animals is actually beneficial for your yard and garden.

You should always pick up after your dog and throw the waste into the trash can. Some smaller cities might prefer the waste to be washed down the toilet, but in cities where there are many dogs, it¡¯s best to send the waste to the landfill.

When you properly deal with your dog¡¯s waste, you¡¯ll be doing your part to keep harmful bacteria out of your yards, your neighborhoods and your drinking water.

1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The author¡¯s dog is as lovely as a child.

B. Dog waste can pollute the environment.

C. Owning a dog is a troublesome experience.

D. Dog waste is more harmful than landmines.

2.Which shows the right organization of the passage?

£¨P1 £½ Paragraph 1; P2 £½ Paragraph 2; P3 £½ Paragraph 3; P4 £½ Paragraph 4; P5 £½ Paragraph 5£©

3.Which of the following statements about dog waste is true?

A. It makes a kind of natural fertilizer of high quality.

B. The microorganisms in dog waste are helpful to water.

C. It is better to wash dog waste down a toilet or bury it in a landfill.

D. Dog waste is more beneficial to soil than other kinds of animal waste.

4.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To scold those who ignore their dog¡¯s waste.

B. To introduce ways of cleaning up dog waste.

C. To warn dog owners about the danger of dog waste.

D. To argue it is the duty of the owners to clean up dog waste.

Imagine picking apples on Christmas or going skating on May Day. What about going for a swim on Thanksgiving? Without Leap Day(ÈòÈÕ£©,which takes place every four years, that could happen.

Our calendar is normally 365 days long. It was created to match the cycles of the seasons. But Roman ruler Julius Caesar noticed a problem: The earth doesn't circle the sun in exactly 365 days. It actually cakes 365 and one-quarter days. He figured out that the extra part of a day would cause the calendar to grow apart from the seasons over time. Over 100 years, the seasons would shift (ÍÆÒÆ£©about 24 days. Spring would start on April 13 instead of March 20.

Caesar used math to figure out a way to stop the calendar from shifting. He decided to add an extra day to the month of February every four years. His idea helped keep the seasons and calendar matched up. Even so, it still wasn¡¯t perfect¡ªhis calendar was adding too many days.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII worked on Caesar's idea. His calendar, called the Gregorian calendar, declares that every year that is equally divided by 400 is a leap year. Turn-of-the-century years, or years ending in ¡°00¡±, would not be leap years unless they could be divided equally by 400. These complicated equations(µÈʽ£©help keep the calendar in balance with the orbit of the earth. Today, we still use the Gregorian calendar. In about 3£¬000 years, the calendar will be only one day out of step with the seasons, It's still not perfect, but mathematicians decided it was as close as we could get.

1.Why was Julius Caesar's calendar not good enough?

A.Spring would start twenty-four days later than usual

B.It would be only one day out of step with the seasons.

C.There would be too many days on the calendar.

D.Leap Day would take place every other year.

2.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A.the earth circles the sun in exactly 365 days

B.Gregorian calendar is more scientific than Caesar's

C.Pope's calendar has been used for 3£¬000 years

D.Caesar added an extra day to every February

3.Which of the following years is a leap year according to Pope?

A.The year 2100.

B. The year 2200.

C. The year 2300.

D. The year 2400.

4.In which section of a website can you probably read this text?

Most evenings, before watching late-night comedy or reading emails on his phone, Matt Nicoletti puts on a pair of orange-colored glasses that he bought for $8 on the Internet.

"My girlfriend thinks I look ridiculous in them," he said. But Mr.Nicoletti, a 30-year-old consultant in Denver, insists that the glasses, which can block certain wavelengths of light emitted by electronic screens, make it easier to sleep.

Studies have shown that such light, especially from the blue part of the spectrum (¹âÆ×),inhibits the body's production of melatonin(Íʺڼ¤ËØ)£¬which helps people fall asleep. Options are growing for blocking blue light, though experts caution that few have been adequately tested for effectiveness and the best solution remains avoiding brightly lit electronics at night.

A Swiss study of 13 teenage boys, published in August in The Journal of Adolescent Health showed that when the boys wore orange-colored glasses, also known as 'blue blockers' and shown to prevent melatonin, in the evening for a week, they felt "significantly more sleepy" than when they wore clear glasses.The boys looked at their screens, as teenagers tend to do, for at least a few hours on average before going to bed, and were monitored in the lab.

Older adults may be less affected by blue light, experts say, but blue light remains a problem for most people, and an earlier study of 20 adults aged 18 to 68 found that those who wore orange-colored glasses for three hours before bed improved their sleep quality considerably relative to a control group that wore yellow-colored lenses, which blocked only ultraviolet(×ÏÍâÏß) light.

LEDs used in devices such as smart phones, tablets and televisions tend to emit more blue light than incandescent products£¨°×³ã²úÆ·). LEDs are also increasingly popular as room lights, but "warm white" bulbs, with less blue, tend to be a better choice than "cool white" for nighttime use. The lighting company Philips also makes a reduced-blue LED bulb, meant to be used before bedtime."In theory, anything that will decrease that blue light exposure at night will be helpful." said Christopher Colwell, a scientist at the UCLA, "I know some gainers who swear by those orange-colored glasses."

But orange glasses are not a panacea(ÍòÄÜÒ©). Dr. Skene said."It isn't just getting rid of the blue and everything's fine," she said. The intensity of light, in addition to color, can affect sleep, she said, and not all brands of orange-colored glasses have undergone enough independent testing for their ability to aid sleep.

During the daytime, experts say, exposure to blue light is good. Best of all is sunlight, which contains many different wavelengths of light."That's what our brain knows," said Kenneth P.Wright Jr., director of the sleep and chronobiology(ÉúÎïÖÓѧ) lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

A 2013 study he led, published in the journal Current Biology, showed just how different things can be without nighttime lights. After participants had camped in the mountains for a week, their bodies began to prepare for sleep about two hours earlier than normal.

Short of cutting out all evening electronics, experts say, it's advisable to use a small screen rather than a large one; dim the screen and keep it as far away from the eyes as possible; and reduce the amount of time spent reading the device.

"If you can look at the iPhone for 10 minutes rather than three hours, that makes a lot of difference," Dr.Skene said.
