In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you’ll find the heart of this lovely community. It’s where villagers meet and greet friends.

When Angelica’s post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s,a villager,Pat, came up with a plan to save it. “At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations,” says Pat, “Why couldn’t we do the same thing with Angelica?”

Pat, who is an artist,created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel.

She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U.S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a cancellation stamp that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station.

The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica’s post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.

Now it’s tradition that on the first Friday in December,people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.

Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys season’s greetings from Angel Station every year. Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues.

1.What did Pat do to save the post office?

A. She invented a new cancellation. B. She hosted Christmas celebrations.

C. She gave the office a better name. D. She designed a special set of stamps.

2.Which of the following can best describe Pat?

A. Stubborn and determined. B. Humorous and intelligent.

C. Curious and friendly. D. Creative and warm-hearted.

3.What can we learn about Angelica’s post office from the passage?

A. It was complately closed in the 1980s.

B. Its name has been changed many times.

C. Its stamp remains the same each season.

D. It is also the centre of local social life.

Street dances are dance styles that evolved (演变) outside of dance studios in any available open space. They are often improvisational (即兴的) and social in nature,encouraging interaction and contact with audiences and the other dancers. These dances generally evolve out of urban and suburban spaces and are a part of the native culture of that geographical area. Some examples of street dances include B-boying, or breakdancing, which originated in New York City, and Melbourne Shuffle which originated in Melbourne, Australia.

Street dances are dances that evolve between people in a social environment,although it cannot be always determined as to how they actually do evolve between people. In theory, as one person comes up with a move that looks good to another person, that other person tries to copy that move. Similar to the game of Chinese Whispers, the effect is that the other person cannot absolutely perform that move the same way as the other person, thus leading to the dancer creating their own style or entirely new moves.

There is a small difference between entirely freestyle dance and an absolute street dance. While freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person (even if ifs based on someone else’s dance style), a full street dance is a collection of the various similar dance moves and styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance. For example, when B-boying evolved out of early hip-hop culture, people came up with their own moves, and other people improved them. Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are now and then practiced and regarded as the same dance. All the moves danced to breaks in hip-hop culture were regarded as B-boying.

Sometimes it is possible to trace back street dance styles that were mostly pioneered by specific persons. One example is Locking, which is often regarded as being started by Don Campbell, who was a 1970s pioneer of American street dance. Most of the time it is impossible to owe street dances to specific people; since the dances evolve outside of professional dance environments, and there is no social or legal record. Street dance pioneers also rarely have professional degrees in dance, thus distinguishing street dance from other modern dance forms.

1.Paragraph 1 is intended to tell us the of street dances.

A. varieties B. changes

C. characteristics D. distributions

2.What do we know about street dances?

A. Dancers perform them in dance studios.

B. They are developed by professional dancers.

A. stress a street dancer’s own style

B. show the effect of Chinese whispers

C. introduce a popular Chinese game

D. explain the characteristics of street dances

4.The passage is probably taken from .

Sharks have lived in the world's oceans for millions of years. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. 1.

Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. 2. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.

3. .They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in the ocean do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.

People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased greatly because many parts of a shark are valuable. 4. . Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.

Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. 5. If too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of shark may never return to normal population levels

A. The others give birth to live young.

B. Sharks are important for the health of the world's oceans.

C. This is a threat to other form of life in the ocean.

D. Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark.

E. Sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them.

F. But some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth.

G. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean

Augusto Esquivel is a sculptor who, in his own words, is “crazy with comparisons of reality and potential and the balance between them.” Perhaps the best example of what he’s talking about are his most famous creations: the suspended(悬挂的) button sculptures.

Made entirely from buttons hanging on various lengths of string, Esquivel’s sculptures are made to look like common objects: a piano, a gumball machine, and even a toilet. If it wasn’t for the clear string hanging above, these objects, these sculptures, would look solid, yet you can put your hands right through them. The process starts with him deciding on a subject and setting the acrylic (丙烯酸树脂)from where the buttons are being suspended. He buys buttons of different shapes and sizes, paints them with spray paint, and carefully hangs them. After that, it’s a manner of hanging each individual button, which takes a lot of time. For his piano, for example, he individually hung over 60 pounds worth of tiny buttons.

Esquivel’s sculptures, while mostly housed inside art galleries, perfectly capture one of the main principles of street art: something that is eye-catching and something that invites interaction. Often the best sculptures outside the art galleries aren’t the ones behind guards and fencing, but the ones people can go right up to and touch. In Vancouver, a series of laughing old men are attracting people for pictures and to just generally hang around, but the people who simply walk by and see the sculptures almost always leave with a smile on their face. That’s good street art: it draws the viewer in rather than relying on a gallery to draw in an audience and point them to certain pieces.

Esquivel’s art is not only a presentation of talent, something that mentions larger philosophical questions, like the ones he stated above, but also just the right combination of interesting idea and painstaking work. One can look at his work in a critical way, or simply appreciate his idea and execution(艺术品的制作).

1.What are Esquivel’s sculptures mainly made of?

A. Clay.

B. Iron.

C. Gum.

D. Buttons.

2.Which statement is WRONG according to Paragraph 3?

A. Some of Esquivel’s sculptures are displayed outside art galleries.

B. Esquivel’s art is good street art.

C. People can’t touch Esquivel’s sculptures involve interaction.

D. Esquivel’s sculptures can catch people’s eye and involve interaction.

3.Which of the following in NOT what Esquivel’s art wants to present?

A. Talent.

B. Idealism.

C. Philosophical questions.

D. Painstaking work.

According to the trials of comprehensive college entrance examination reform that the State Council has made.some of the subjects will be examined many times in a year.People have different opinions about this.
Some say that this program gives students more free time.Students can choose the exam time themselves and it's obviously an effective way to improve their grades of the university entrance examination.In addition,if some of the subjects are finished ahead of time,students will be in less pressure during the time.
However,there are also many people against the program.They hold the view that it will increase the burdens of the students by frequent tests.Also,it is a waste of education resources because the exams will cost more in this case.
In my opinion,to pass the exam before the fixed time is a good way to relax ourselves while we are all under the pressure of the university entrance examination.So I'm looking forward to seeing the reform program brought into force..
1.PEOPLE NOBLE SMUGGLER
This Thursday,Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷运者).During World WarⅡ,the Polish social worker smuggled nearly2,500Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto(聚居区).She gave them new identities,found them safe places with good-hearted Christians,and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbours'gardens.(The play,Life in a Jar,based on her story,is being performed.)At 93,Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C.,to receive the 2003Jan Karski Award for Valorand Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture.One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.
You risked your life to save the children.
I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning,you don't ask if they can swim,you just jump in and help.During the war,everyone was drowning,but mostly the Jewish children.
How did you persuade parents to give up their children?
I had to answer honestly that I didn't even know if we would get past the guards.
What was the most frightening moment?
When I saw a priest(牧师)in charge of an orphan age for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed.The children were in then best Sunday suits.The priest was killed with them.
How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?
I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill.They were told to remember their new names.I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.
Did you tell your own two children what you did?
I never told them.Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me.I thought it was only normal to do so.And it was a very painful subject.It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more.
--Samantha Levine
