【题目】Starting in 1972,the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn.It was acknowledged that some forest fires,such as those which were caused by lighting were necessary for forests to maintain(保持)balanced ecosystems,so the fire should be allowed to burn.However, a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially(最初)allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1.As a result,the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone,which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park.Massive areas of plants were destroyed,and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors.The rivers and streams were choked with ash,and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair.

【题目】Life is filled with challenges.As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are,it is the same with the challenges that come with friendship.When we are faced with a challenge,we usually have two choices.We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits.Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do,in most cases all that is needed is commitment(承诺)and communication.

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is,we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it.Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong.If you can say to a friend,“I got my feelings hurt.” rather than“You hurt my feelings.”you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are:small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life.Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger.It is all part of growing up,it happens to everyone,and some day you will look back on all of this and say,“Hard as it was,it made me who I am today.And that is a good thing.”

【题目】Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, the leader of a group of girls' schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with failure.

“All girls and not just the sporty ones should take physical exercise”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs "sport for all". "That's why I love it when our schools have A, B ,C and D teams and beyond", she will say.

The GDST draws on research from the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels ( 水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests.

Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says women's sport needs more money and more news reports..

Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. "Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)", said Ms Dunsford.

【1】Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?

A. Those taking part in the sport are always failures.

B. More should be done to make girls do sports.

C. Girls are less confident than boys.

D. Boys are born to be sport lovers.

【2】What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?

A. 1/10 B. 1/4 C. 1/5 D. 2/5

【3】Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show ________.

A. hard work will pay off

B. it’s not easy to be great

C. sport can help girls to succeed

D. it’s necessary to balance work and sport

【4】What should be done to make more girls do sports according to Valerie Dunsford?

A. Giving more money to them.

B. Providing more sport classes.

C. Offering different kinds of sports to them.

D. Reporting more about famous sportswomen.

【5What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To explain the key to success.

B. To show the importance of sport.

C. To introduce more games to girls.

D. To encourage more girls to do sports.

【题目】阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.

“How old are you?” asked the teacher.

“Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.

“Then you have just lost eight years,”the teacher replied.

There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age.When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.

Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life.The habit of brushing one’s teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one’s teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others.Bad habits such as sticking one’s tongue out, biting one’s fingernails and picking one’s nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others.If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.

It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit.We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character.Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river.The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person’s character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.
