4.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

1.Did you know that the first documented use of OMG(oh my god)was in 1917,or that LOL was once a common term meaning little old ladies in 1960?That's what the world learned when OMG,LOL,and FYI (for your information) were added to the Oxford English Dictionary last week.This dictionary is considered by many to be the reference book that defines the English language.
Words added to the Oxford English Dictionary are truly considered new members of the language.People invent new words all the time,but only a few become popular enough to get defined in dictionaries.
Typed online or in text messages,LOL,FYI,and OMG are initialisms,which can be said aloud letter by letter,like LOL,which now stands for Laugh Out Loud.Faster to type than the full phrases,initialisms like these have been used online since the 1990s.But these three online terms are now spoken outside the Internet too,making them different from other online lingo( 行话).Dictionary editors decided the words are used so commonly that they had to be defined this year.
Another important addition to the dictionary this year was?,as in"I?NY."This is the first graphic (图形的 ) symbol ever defined in the Oxford English Dictionary.The editors added?as a verb under the definition of"heart",meaning"to love".
Some slang words-informal language used more commonly in speech than in writing-were also added,like wassup,a shortened way to say"What's up".Even words that have been in use for many years like biker and happy camper were finally added to the dictionary.
The Oxford English Dictionary now defines more than 600,000words.That adds up to more than 21,730pages!Guinness World Records calls it the longest dictionary in the world.The Oxford English Dictionary is known for recording words of all kinds-popular,outdated,and even foreign words used by English speakers throughout the language's long history.

C.Some slang words are collected in it.
D.Some old words are left out.

C.Uncommon words frequently appearing on the Internet.
D.Official words used in formal documents with capital letters.

8.How to find time for yourself
Do you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?Many of us are so busy with work,school,and home life that often there is no time left over to do something that you enjoy.What follows are some ways to carve out that essential time you need to slow down,enjoy life.

2.Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin(企鹅)at the California Academy of Sciences.Due to his old age,he was losing his feathers,which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.Therefore,biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.
Unlike marine(海生的)mammals,which have a layer of blubber(鲸脂)to keep them warm,penguins depend on their waterproof feathers.Without them,Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19peers played in the water.
"He was cold;he would shake,"said Pam Schaller,a  senior biologist.Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm.Then she got another idea:if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific,why not make one for Pierre?
Schaller designed the suit,which covered Pierre's body and had small openings for his flippers (鳍).
"I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps,and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable."she said.
One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit,but in fact,they accepted his new look.He swam freely and got along with others well,although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.
Schaller couldn't say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers,but"certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable".
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.
24.Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because ofA.
A.having few feathers due to old age    
B.not having a layer of blubber
C.having no wetsuit                  
D.others penguins rejecting him
25.The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came fromB.
A.total invention            
B.the use of wetsuit on humans
C.the use of heat lamp        
D.waterproof feathers
26.Schaller followed Pierre in order to seeD.
A.whether other penguins would reject him
B.whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recovering
C.if the wetsuit kept warm
D.if anywhere of the wetsuit needed to be cut and refit
27.The best title of the passage isC.
A.Unwilling to Swim             
B.Old Penguin Getting Bald(秃的)
C.Wetsuit for An old Penguin       
D.Strange Look of Pierre.
3.Do you know what is scarier than bees?Pirate bees!Scientists have discovered a new species of bee that survives by capturing hives(蜂房) made by other species.The behavior is usually seen in cuckoos(杜鹃),so the new species has been named the"cuckoo bee".
Discovered by Dr.Jakub Straka of Charles University in Prague,and Dr.Michael S.Engel of the University of Kansas,the cuckoo bee was found during a journey to the Republic of Cape Verde is an island chain off the western coast of Africa.Cape Verde is an island that has not been visited before by scientists.Scientists believe the area may be home to a lot of undiscovered species.
According to Straka and Engel's report,the cuckoo bee enters a hive secretly.While the host is out collecting pollen(花粉),the female cuckoo bee enters the hive and lays her eggs on top of the host's.The cuckoo bee eggs hatch more quickly than the other eggs.Then,when they come out of their eggs,the newborn cuckoo bees immediately kill all of the host's eggs and young,and then eat all the stored food.Eventually,they gain control of the hive and live off its resources.
Physically,the cuckoo bees look like zebra,featuring mostly black-and-white patterns.Also,they are mostly quite large.But one species was only 5mm long,which is actually quite small for a bee.Engel and Straka believe the large size of most of the cuckoo bee species is the result of"island gigantism(岛屿巨型化)",a phenomenon where a species can grow at an extreme rate when separated from the rest of its kind.
The researchers are now trying to explore the diversity(多样化) of the cuckoo bees'hosts and also to understand their evolution across the islands.

32.Why is the bee called the"cuckoo bee"?A
A.It survives in a similar way to the cuckoo bird.
B.It looks like the cuckoo bird.
C.Its sound is similar to that of the cuckoo bird.
D.It is from the same island as the cuckoo bird.
33.What does the underlined word"capturing"in the first paragraph probably mean?C
A.Building.
B.Destroying.
C.Controlling.
D.Stealing.
34.The cuckoo beeA.
A.has zebra-like patterns    
 B.collects pollen before entering a hive
C.kills the host bee after entering a hive    
D.enters a hive in a group
35.What is the real reason for most cuckoo bees being larger?D
A.They can get plenty of food from other bees'hives.
B.Their habitat,Cape Verde,has not been polluted.
C.Their hosts are diverse.
D.They are separated from the rest of their kind.
