Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.

He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up (设定) his alarm clock. He tried to shave(刮脸)quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨烫), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(电表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.

In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted.

The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.

No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.

It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.

Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.

1.The underlined word “appealing” probably means “______”.

A. huge B. attractive

C. ordinary D. moving

2.In the Qin Dynasty, ______.

A. the construction of the Great Wall was finished in 204 BC

B. the emperor wanted to invade other minor states

C. the defensive system of the Great Wall was separated

D. the Great Wall began its way from Jilin Province

3.According to the passage, the Great Wall _______.

A. is from the west to the east B. is as long as 6,700 miles

C. was built in several dynasties D. was begun in the Qin Dynasties

4.The best title for the passage probably is _______.

A. History of the Great Wall B. Culture of the Great Wall

C. Construction of the Great Wall D. Projection of the Great Wall

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is one of the most common sayings in the English languages. This is because apples were one of the first foods that medical professionals recognized as healthy—their benefits became obvious when, quite simply, doctors found that people who ate apples were sick less often than those who did not. Today we have a more specific understanding of why apples are so beneficial to overall health.

Apples can help keep your levels of bad cholesterol (胆固醇) down. The pectin (果胶) in apples helps you to maintain cardiovascular health and reduce LDL cholesterol(which is the “bad” kind). Apples themselves do not add cholesterol to your diet and are full of water and fiber to help prevent the cholesterol in other foods you might digest. According to Health Diaries, people who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.

Apples are naturally low in calories and high in water content. Eating an apple can satisfy your hunger and keep you from reaching for high-sugar, high-calories snacks. By eating apples, you will be more able to maintain a healthy weight because they fill you up, potentially stopping you from eating food that encourages a waistline increase.

Apples contain respectable levels of boron (硼), which helps build healthy bones, and can also prevent diseases like arthritis. Apples are rich in vitamin C, which is known to help build immunity.

Studies have shown that apples can decrease the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and liver cancer. One theory is that the apple skins are responsible for this, so be sure not to peel your apple before you eat them, as you could remove some of the health benefits.

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. An explanation of an English saying.

B. How to make full use of apples.

C. Apples are beneficial to our health.

D. How to keep healthy in our daily life.

2.By eating apples we can get many benefits EXCEPT________.

C. building immunity D. preventing heart disease

3.Which of the following can most probably replace the underlined word “respectable”?

A. Admirable. B. Considerable.

C. Reliable. D. Valuable.

4.Which plays an important role in reducing the risk of breast cancer?

A. The pectin. B. The apple skins.

C. The flesh of apples. D. The fiber of apples.

5.What’s the author’s attitude towards the effect of eating apples?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.

Everyone knows that if a dog’s ears are up and its tail is wagging energetically, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated th an we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may he more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-sized robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.

In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, while only 21 percent did so in the other situation. When the researchers excluded(排除)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogs

approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.

Animal psychologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that does were even more complicated comm unicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys. He said, “We know that dogs, in a sense, have languages, but it is more complicated because it is not just them wagging their tails, but also giving out chemical displays.”

He adds, “The research confirms earlier studies suggesting that dogs, like humans, had a left-side preference. If you are going to present a signal to a dog, it is sensible to put it on your left-hand side because that is where dogs, unlike most other animals, tend to look. It is another example of the similarity betwe en dogs and humans. They are a lot more human than we give them credit for.”

1.What does it tell us if a dog wags its tail to the right?

A. It was very energetic B. It was in a bad mood

C. It might be unfriendly D. It must be confident

2.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A. Some dogs approach the robot dog confidently

B. Most dogs were afraid to approach the robot dog

C. Some dogs lack confidence with their owners present

D. Dog owners may influence the behaviour of their pets

3.What can we learn from animal psychologist’s experiments?

A. Dogs can communicate more than human beings

B. Dogs have more complicated emotions than monkeys

C. Dogs’ tail-wagging conveys more information than previously believed

D. Dogs’ intelligence can be much higher than any other kind of animal

4.What can we infer from Roger Mugfords words?

A. The Left-side preference should be studied further

B. Dogs have more in common with humans than we think

C. No other animals show the left-side preference except dogs

D. Dogs have a more complicated language than we people do

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it’s easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:

﹡Schedule yearly exams. 1. Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

﹡Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it’s extremely important to wear sunglasses. 2.

﹡Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.  3.  Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

4.  As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

﹡Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.  5. Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

A. Eat your greens.

B. Eye care should begin early in life.

C. They can properly protect your eyes.

D. Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.

E. Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight.

F. Always follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate wear.

G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.
