Dear Mr.Green,

I¡¯m writing to tell you how is going on in our school¡ªa basketball match to be holding next month. The match will be played among Xinhua Middle School Basketball Team and ours. Now we are organizing a basketball team, included a teacher as a player. We honest think you are the right one, so I¡¯d like invite you to join our team. We had also planned to do some training to build up our physical strengths and improve our skills. I am sure it will be a great fun. All of us are expecting him to come.

Yours,

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher£¬no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher¡¯s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(¹«Ê½). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn¡¯t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.

Above all, they knew how to use their brains.

1.The subject which is not spoken of in the article is _____

A. maths B. history

C. psychology D. physics

2.The teacher¡¯s job is to teach ___________.

A. everything the students want to know

B. the students everything that they know

C. the students some facts of formulas

D. the students how to learn

3.Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because_____.

A. they learned a lot at school.

B. they knew how to learn new things outside class by themselves.

C. they were so useful.

D. they went to college and learned form professors.

4.From the passage we know that if we want to be successful , we should _______.

A. only learn more at school

B. needn¡¯t go to school

C. only learn science subjects

D. learn to learn at school and learn more outside school

You¡¯ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father¡¯s Days together.

You know, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized (¶ÔÁ¢) by it. Split by: age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing and boys.

The Father-Daughter Duel£¨³åÍ»£© of¡®54 shifted into high gear£¨°×ÈÈ»¯£© when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the¡®54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who accompanied me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16-year-old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.

Our relationship improved greatly when I had babies. I didn¡¯t know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn¡¯t have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now.

I suppose I saw our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn¡¯t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.

Fifty years ago this spring, we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.

This week, we¡¯ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don¡¯t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. I don¡¯t even like kohlrabi... but I like planting it with you.

Honoring a father on Father¡¯ s Day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school graduation and weddings. It¡¯s more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn, who know everything and won¡¯t listen to anyone. It¡¯s about loving someone more than words can say, and wishing that it never had to end.

I love you, Dad.

Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.

An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (µ÷²é) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be ¡°very¡± or ¡°somewhat¡± overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today¡¯s parents are trying to manage their children¡¯s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.

However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their ¡°adult¡± children.

In the context (±³¾°) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents¡¯ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn¡¯t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents¡ªtoday¡¯s grandparents¡ªwould have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.

Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.

Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.

1.The surveys inform us of______.

A. the development of technology

B. the changes of adult children¡¯s behavior

C. the parents¡¯ over-protection of their college children

D. the means and expenses of students¡¯ communication

2.The writer believes that__________.

A. parents today are more protective than those in the past

B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages

C. technology explains greater involvement with their children

D. parents¡¯ changed attitudes lead to college children¡¯s delayed independence

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Technology or Attitude

B. Dependence or Independence

C. Family Influences or Social Changes

D. College Management or Communication Advancement

4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

I: Introduction P:Point Sp: Sub-point C: Conclusion

A. B.

C. D.

Football is a popular sport. More than a million kids play on high school teams, but football can be a hazard. The National Football League(NFL) has acknowledged that almost 30 percent of its players will eventually suffer from brain-related diseases. That¡¯s a lot.

A recent study involving 40 former NFL players showed that those who started playing football before age 12 did worse on thinking tests than players who started after age 12. By the way, all the tested players scored below average for their age and education. Concerns about the effects of constant hits to the head have caused some medical experts on brain injuries, such as Robert Cantu of Boston University, to recommend that kids not play football before age 14.

I don¡¯t think football is all bad. It helps kids learn teamwork, discipline and how to get into better physical condition. But now that we know that the sport might be dangerous, it¡¯s time to make some changes in the youth and high school football.

First, seasons should be shorter. The high school regular season should not be more than nine games. Second, kids should not play tackle(Çܱ§) football too soon. As Cantu points out, ¡°By age fourteen, our necks are strong and our overall body strength is sufficient to keep the head steady when we slam at the line of scrimmage(ÕùÇò).¡± Personally speaking, I don¡¯t think kids should sit on the couch until they are 14. But they can play flag football and other gentler sports. If you think age 14 is too late to become a good football player, remember that four-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady started playing football at that age.

1.What does the underline word ¡°hazard¡± mean?

A. difficulty. B. danger.

C. punishment. D. pain.

2.Why did the former NFL players perform badly in tests?

A. Their heads were hit frequently.

B. They had some mental disorders.

C. They didn¡¯t take the tests seriously.

D. They received little school education.

3.What does the author advise for kids under 14?

A. They watch football games. B. They play safer games.

C. Football be forbidden for them. D. They play 10 games a season.

4.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To entertain. B. To advertise.

C. To instruct. D. To warn.

Meet big brother Blue and his sisters Meadow and Little Willow,a family of three blind cats that just got adopted by the family Catherine Magno.

Their story starts just before the Christmas of 2014 when the kittens£¨Ð¡Ã¨£©were found in an abandoned house in Dubai.By then they had already lost their sight due to a cat flu that was left untreated by their previous£¨ÏÈÇ°µÄ£© owner.After that they came to an animal home.At some point,brother Blue almost got adopted by the previous owner's neighbor,but the poor confused cat couldn¡¯t bear living without his sisters and cried all night while searching for them.Soon they were all united in the animal home until the important night of 19 February 2015,when Catherine took them under her wing.

"I had zero experience having adopted my first ever rescue kitten just a couple of months ago,"Catherine said. "But their story touched my heart so much that I couldn't bear the thought of them being put in a cage for a very long time or even worse."

Catherine was worried about the special needs of her new pet friends:¡°My worry was that it's going to not only be challenging but also require a lot of adjustments on my part,¡±but apparently it wasn't that much different.¡°The only adjustment early on was keeping everything where it was but they are soon adaptive£¨ÊÊÓ¦µÄ£©.¡±And as she wonderfully put it:¡°Blind pets see through their hearts."

1.What caused the three cats to be blind according to the passage?

A. Because of a certain kind of disease.

B. Because of a serious car accident.

C. Because of some bad persons hurting them.

D. The passage didn't mention it.

2.What does the underlined word " them" mean in Paragraph 2?

A. The owner and his neighbor.

B. Meadow and Little Willow.

C. Catherine Magno and her family.

D. All the other blind pets in the animal home.

3.What kind of person is Catherine?

A. Hard-working. B. Selfish.

C. Kind. D. Rude.

Many of us remember being in awe(¾´Î·) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(»Ö¸´) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.

According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(³¤Ã«ÃÍáïÏó), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, ¡°may walk the earth once more¡± now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream¡ªrecreating their DNA.

Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(±±¼«¶³ÍÁ´ø) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.

Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. ¡°It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive¡ªalthough so far it has only been done in the lab,¡± George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.

Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So ¡°we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them,¡± he said.

However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he ¡°preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(»ùÒò×é) by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative ¨C the Asian elephant,¡± reported The Telegraph.

Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoth¡ªor rather, the return of something very similar¡ªcould help bring back fragile(´àÈõµÄ) ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical.

Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: ¡°We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around?¡± he told the Sunday Times. ¡°What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then we¡¯ll just clone things back?¡±

¡°Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years,¡± he said.

1.We can learn from the article that ______.

A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revived

B. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already mature

C. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNA

D. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from elephants

2.According to Church, what is the significance of his study?

A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.

B. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.

C. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.

D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains.

3.The underlined word ¡°unethical¡± in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. unacceptable B. misled

C. impractical D. illegal

4.According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that _______.

A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian elephants at present

B. it¡¯s necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings from extinction

C. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystems

D. it¡¯s more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct ones
