Alpacas(羊驼) are members of the camel family, having lived in South America for thousands of years. Their fur gives the animals a teddy bear_like appearance. Alpacas are too small to be used as animals of burden but are valued only for their fur. Generally, their lifespan is around 15 to 20 years.

Alpacas are social animals that live in family groups made up of a male, females and their young. They are gentle, elegant, curious, intelligent and observant. They are safe and pleasant to be around, moving gracefully and slowly around the field, and are therefore unlikely to run into or over anyone, even small children. Occasionally, an alpaca will spit snd kick, but the soft padded(有爪垫的) feet usually do little more than just“get your attention”.

Because these animals are environmentally friendly and need so little grass and food, you can usually raise from two to eight alpacas on an acre of land with grass or hay. A single, 60 pound bale(大捆) of hay can generally feed a group of about 20 alpacas for one day. Alpacas also require access to plenty of fresh water to drink.

Alpaca fur is used for making knittedd and woven(编织) items, just as sheep’s wool is.These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles(针织品) in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fur comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States.

1.According to the text, alpacas can be best used_______.

A. for long distance rides

B. to protect home

C. for children to play with

D. to carry heavy goods

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Alpaca’s kick can’t hurt you.

B. Alpacas want to draw your attention.

C. You must look out for Alpacas’ attack.

D. You should pay more attention to Alpaca

3.If you have 5 acres of land to raise Alpacas, how much hay do you need a day at most?

A. 60 pounds.

B. 120 pounds.

C. 100 pounds.

D. 180 pounds.

B. Alpaca fur is only used for making sweaters in Australia.

C. The US produces the most Alpaca fur in the world.

Films

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

It’s supposedly based on a true story, which stars Jennifer Carpenter as Emily Rose, a country girl who goes away to college and then becomes possessed by the devil. The inspiration for the film came from the story of Anneliese Michel, a supposedly possessed woman who died from starvation after a series of unsuccessful exorcism attempts in 1976.

Children of the Corn

Has that thing ever happened to you where you go on a road trip and stop for gas and realize that you lose your direction off the beaten path and people start looking at you like you’re from the moon? The instance always reminds you of this movie. Walk far into the wilderness and it’s all just Children of the Corn territory.

The Ring

Some people prefer the original Japanese version of this film to the 2002 remake starring Naomi Watts, so if you have time, watch both, but if you don’t, start here. There was a really exciting period in the early 2000s when the film industry made some exciting changes to the usual format of horror movies. This movie helped introduce a transition from monster films to a more psychological approach that relies on expectations more than in-your-face jump scares.

It Follows

This is a movie that’s super fun to approach not knowing much about it, because if you hadn’t already known the fact that it’s a scary movie, you’d be surprised by how things develop as you’re experiencing it for the first time. There are a lot of scares in It Follows that catch you by surprise, which makes it feel refreshing, fun, and horrifying at the same time.

1.Who is Jennifer Carpenter?

A. A woman who died from starvation

B. An actress who acted Emily Rose

C. A girl who was possessed by the devil

D. The author who wrote The Exorcism of Emily Rose

A. The Exorcism of Emily Rose

B. Children of the Corn

C. The Ring

D. It Follows

3.What special contribution did The Ring make?

A. It introduced fun and horrifying experiences at the same time.

B. It introduced in-your-face jump scares

C. It created a new style of horror movies

D. It was adapted into many Japanese films.

4.How may you feel when watching It Follows?

B. Fun and moved

C. Bored and sleepy

D. Amazed and frightened

Life may have evolved on at least three planets within a newly discovered solar system 39 light years from Earth. Astronomers at the NASA have discovered no less than seven roughly Earth-sized worlds orbiting a dwarf star in the system. Scientists had previously identified a tiny number of "exoplanets", which are believed to have the qualities needed to support life. However, the new system contains an unprecedented(前所未有) number of Earth-sized, probably rocky planets, and is being acknowledged as an "accelerated leap forward" in the search for extraterrestrial (外星球的)life.

Three of the new planets are said to be particularly promising because there might exist oceans. Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA, told a press conference in Washington: "This gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not a matter of 'if', but 'when'."

The planets were discovered using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which was able to track how fast each of the planets crossed the star Trappist-l and completed an orbit. From this the research team calculated how far the planets were from their star, and therefore how likely they are to be habitable.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is already being used to search for atmospheres around the planets. Future telescopes, including the proposed European Extremely Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, may be powerful enough to discover markers of life, such as oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets.

Astronomers believe there could be as many as 40 billion potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Prof Zurbuchen said that now was a "gold-rush phase" in the search for these exoplanets.

1.What makes the new discovery significant?

A. Ample markers of life. B. The potential to support life.

C. Great distance from Earth. D. The search for extraterrestrial life.

2.What helps explore atmospheres around the exoplanets?

A. Spitzer Space Telescope. B. Hubble Space Telescope.

C. European Extremely Large Telescope. D. James Webb Space Telescope.

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. New Solar System Found B. Second Earth Discovered

C. Why to Explore Outer Space D. Gold-Rush Stage to Come

Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their own unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地)hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture praises and admires celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”

1.Imitation proves useful when you _______.

A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life

C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice

2.To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _______.

A. forget daily fear and pain B. choose the right role models

C. ask others for decisions D. stay away from stars

3.According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are _______.

A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge

B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality

C. eager to discover what their ancestors did

D. willing to accept others’ ideas

4.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A. To highlight the importance of creativity.

B. To criticize the characters of role models.

C. To compare imitation with creation.

D. To explain the meaning of success.
