One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “__21___ would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be    22___.”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   23 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt, His glasses went   24 and landed in the grass.
My   25 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 26 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   27 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the   28 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   29  to prepare a 30 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 31 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be  32!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to   33 those who helped you make it through those   34  years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best   35 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with   36 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 37 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend   38  me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the   39 of your actions. With one small gesture you can   40 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, was launched on 16 July, 1969. Five days later they stepped down onto the moon.
Neil Armstrong
On the way there: Of all the wonderful views we had, the most impressive to me was on the way to the Moon when we flew through its shadow. We were still thousands of miles away, but close enough so that the Moon almost filled our window. The moon appeared blue-grey. It seemed almost as if it were showing us its roundness, its similarity in shape to our Earth, in a sort of welcome. I was sure it would be a hospitable（好客的） host. It had been waiting for its first visitors for a long time.
After touch down: The sky is black, you know. It’s a very dark sky, but it still seemed more like daylight than darkness as we looked out the window. It’s a very strange thing but the surface looked very warm and inviting. It seemed to be tan(棕褐色). It’s hard to explain that, because later when I held the material in my hand, it wasn’t tan at all. It was black, grey and so on.
Edwin Aldrin
On the Moon: The blue color of my boots has completely disappeared now into this soil—still don’t know what color to describe this other than grayish(灰色的) cocoa.
Back on board: The moon was a very natural and pleasant environment in which to work. On the Moon, in one-sixth gravity, you have a strong feeling of being somewhere. As we did our experiments, some objects we threw away would go in a slow, lazy manner.

It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does ------.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply stimulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.
小题1:From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.
A．everyone’s incomes rise
B．money will hold its value
C．we can watch our money grow
D．money constantly loses its value
小题2:．In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.
A．inflation maybe still be a problem
B．we have nothing to worry about
C．inflation is no longer a problem
D．we will become richer and richer
小题3:．Under inflation people are likely to ________.
A．go to the bank more often than usual
B．save more money since their incomes rise
C．spend money quickly rather than to save it
D．keep money at home instead of going to banks
小题4:．We can conclude according to the passage that ________.
A．the writer is a government official
B．the writer is worried about inflation
C．the writer encourages people to spend money
D．the writer has become richer because of inflation
小题5:. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?
A．matter,B．goes.C．risesD．fall
In an age dominated （控制的） by new media and the Internet, there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when, if we couldn't make it into a classroom, the only real option was to pick up a book, or when audio materials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic（时有时无的） radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web, we have a whole new learning domain （统领） at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button, and tests and assignments can be submitted （进行） and marked online．Questions and learning, studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended （融合的） learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contact．
Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to F2F） teaching, will achieve better results．For example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning, such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．
Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example, in an ELT （English Language Teaching ） environment, a simple scenario （剧情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text． Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session, the teacher express his opinion about their work．
小题1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Blended learning is an effective learning approach．
B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials,
C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world．
D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning．
小题2:Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students?
A．Practical sessions．
B．Tackling the needs of an individual student．
C．Dealing with more subjective questions．
D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions．
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor quality
B．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadays
C．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the past
D．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days
小题4:Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learning?
A．Critical．B．Objective （客观的） ．
C．Supportive．D．Neutral （中立的） ．
The united States has about 475,000 school buses — all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.
小题1:What does this passage mainly tell us?
A．High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.
B．New measures to transport school students.
C．The safest form of student transportation.
D．The origin of Walk to School Day.
小题2:In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.
A．changing some bus routes
B．stopping some bus routes
C．asking parents to drive children to and from school
D．using other types of fuels
小题3:The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.
A．save more fuels and diesel for the country
B．keep the children safe on their way to school
C．make the children live a simple life
D．keep the children healthy and the environment clean
Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year，Rowena will be attending Harvard University．Billy，her younger brother，hopes to go to Cornell．What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school．In fact，they've never been to school．Since kindergarten，they've studied at home．Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education．
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S．in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today，as the home-schooling trend continues to grow，parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places．But can parents really do a better job?
The answer in many cases is yes．In many studies，students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools．More importantly，these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge．They were well prepared for academic challenges．
One such student，Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling．Still, not every student is as successful as Robert．
“For every home-schooling success story，there are an equal number of failures．”states Henry Lipscomb，an educational researcher．“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example，they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age．Consequently，they sometimes lack the usual social skills．“No matter what，though，”states Lipscomb，“home-schooling is a growing trend．I think we'll be seeing more and more of this．”
小题1:Compared with other students, Rowena and Billy are most different in the fact that ___________.
A．they preferred to teach themselves
B．they do extremely well on achievement tests
C．they don't go to school as other teenagers
D．they feel they have gotten a good education
小题2:According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?
A．Home is a safer place for children．
B．Students taught at home are more self-directed．
C．Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge．
D．Students taught at home can go to good universities．
小题3:The writer thinks __________ .
A．parents can do a better job than schools
B．home-schooling will be more and more useful
C．home-schooling is good in some aspects
D．students taught at home make greater achievements
小题4:The best title of this text might be ________ .
A．Home-schooling：A Growing Trend
B．Home-schooling：A Better Choice
C．Home-schooling：A Way to Success
D．Home-schooling：A New Method of Education
If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that   preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but in fact eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction(反应) to fear.
Finding a hiding place
Unnecessary labor (劳动) will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys--- cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal(发信号) rescuers for help
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible--- it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket ( a special blanket for traveling ), build three smoky fires and put your blanket ---gold side facing out --- on the ground.
Do not walk away
It will make finding you more difficult , as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbitten(冻伤) , do not rewarm the affected area until you are out of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten(冻伤) feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.
小题1: When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you _____.
A．take a space blanket with youB．do more physical labor
C．try to find a car immediatelyD．walk as far as possible
小题2: According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they ______

小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Don’t travel by yourselfB．Mountain traveling is dangerous
C．Don’t get frightened in dangerD．Avoid going to unfamiliar places
小题4: Which statement is not true according to the passage?

B．Stay out of the valleys when looking for a hiding place
C．The best time to signal rescuers is during the day
D．With a space blanket, you can put it on the ground---gold side facing out
When I was growing up, I always gave my mom an apron （围裙）on her birthday．I wanted my own mom —   21  that apron I'd just given her, of course —to   22  me at the end of each afternoon bearing a plate of home-baked   23  as she waited breathlessly to hear about my   24  day at school．
Mom loved her family without question, but as an elementary-school teacher she had her own exciting days to   25   .She had hardly any extra time and   26 , and home-baked treats were rare in our house except   27  very special occasions．Since Mom didn't make cookies very often, the   28  of her baking were not always the same．Sometimes the cookies were browned a little more than planned or   29  together and other times the cookies weren't smooth．  30 , none of that bothered anyone in the family．All we   31  was swallowing whatever we were having for dinner that night so we could get to the cookies   32  us on the kitchen counter．
Now that I'm a mom myself, I can   33  all too well why my mother didn't always have the time to wear the apron．As was true with my mother, the list of things I need to do is often   34 than the day itself．But I also understand the desire to   35  the same yellow mixing bowl my mother used and make something special for my family every so often．Whatever I bake is met with approval, appreciation and good   36  by my husband and children．At some level, I believe they're   37  that I was thinking about them as I   38  the brown sugar into the butter or frosted the cake with their favorite kind of icing．They always know I love them．I  39  they know it a little better when I'm in a baking mood．
I'm sure my mother felt   40  the same way whenever she made cookies for us．Those cookies will always, in my mind, be the best treat．

Supermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK's fourth biggest supermarket said Morrisons.com would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.
As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.
Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.
Last month, the company took its first major step to launching an online operation with the acquisition of internet retailer Kiddicare for £70 million. The company said this move, along with the 10% "strategic" stake in American online grocer FreshDirect announced today, would help it launch its own website in the future. FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company's board.
Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons' heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.
小题1:FreshDirect severs 600,000 customers in          .
A．ConnecticutB．New JerseyC．New YorkD．certain states
小题2:Which would help Morrisons launch its own wesbsite in the future?
A．Taking measures to beat its rivals as quickly as it could
B．Offering enough grocery and non-food products from zero
C．Building more convenience stores and market in the United States
D．Launching an online operation with the acquisition of interest retailer
小题3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Morrisons Has Many Business Rvials
B．Morrisons Will Launch an Online Operation
C．Morrisons Switches to Run Online Shopping
D．Morrisons Wants to Establish Branches
