【题目】Genetically modified (转基因 ) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today. This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world. From the seed dealer, to the farmer that buys the seed, to the workers that the farmer sells to; all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.

Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately. There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods. They are tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe, the US and the rest of the world. They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process. Since they are a new product, and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country, these tests are very necessary.

These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation. Begun in May of 1997, the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods. A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past. By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.

There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers. They can improve the nutritional (营养的) value or the storage conditions of the food. Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use, these are GM soybean and GM maize.

Despite any safety checks, many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods. By providing these people with the necessary information, we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.

【1】What do we know about the novel food?

A. It’s very popular in EU.

B. It’s bad for people’s health.

C. It’s a new kind of food.

D. Its story has been published.

【2】Genetically foods are allowed to be sold if they are .

A. tested for safety

B. of high quality

C. more nutritional

D. grown in Europe

【3】From paragraph 2, we can learn that genetically modified foods .

A. do no harm to people

B. have caused some problems

C. are well received after being tested

D. are criticized and attacked by many people

【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards genetically modified foods?

A. We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.

B. We should give people information about them so that they can decide whether to buy them

C. We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.

D. We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.

On Wednesday of this Culture & Art Week, we invite the American teacher Prof. Hudson to our school. He gave a class to us and his class left us a very deeper impression.

Prof. Hudson had a free talk with us in the simple but humorous English. He spoke slowly and clearly so that we could follow her well. In the same time, he would repeat that we did not understand.

Greatly encouraging, most of us took an active part his class.

From his lessons, we came to the conclusion that it is not so difficult to learning English well.

【题目】I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before.

Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.

Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.

【1】While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.

A. knew the elephant was injured

B. found the elephant acted violently

C. tried their best to save the elephant

D. thought the elephant was in good condition

【2】Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.

A. had suffered an hour or two

B. was killed by a poisonous needle

C. had suffered a lot

D. had had a good fight with a poacher

【3】How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?

A. empty. B. comfortable. C. upset. D. relieved.

【4】Why did the author write the text?

A. To introduce African elephant.

B. To show the cruelty of poaching.

C. To describe his filming experience.

D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.

I still remember how nervously I was on my first day in the new school three years before. I found it how difficult to follow my teacher in first English class. She spoke in English throughout the class, that was totally different as the lessons I had taken before. In the morning class the next day, my English teacher came to me while she was reading the text aloud. After listen to me for a while, she gave me a big smile and said she like my voice very much. The smile shone on the whole day and for several day. Thanks to the smile, I began to be confident.

My grandfather is a【1】(retire) worker. On summer evenings, we often sat together outside the house【2】(enjoy) the cool air. It was the time that he told me lots of his experiences before liberation.

When my grandfather was fourteen years old, he worked in a coal mine. One day, when he and his two workmates were working in the tunnel, an【3】(fortune) thing suddenly happened. A part of the tunnel fell down, and they were shut in it. They had no food【4】(eat). When they were hungry, they only drank some water there. It was very cold in it. In order to keep warm, they hugged one another. In the darkness, they didn’t know whether it was day【5】night, they only felt they had stayed there for a very long time. They were too hungry to speak or move, and thought they【6】(die). At last, the tunnel【7】(dig) through. They were saved. They had been there for fourteen days! My grandfather said they weren’t let out at once. If【8】, they would have died. They were kept at the entrance to the tunnel【9】it was very dim, and they were fed【10】some thin porridge.

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. 【1】 So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. 【2】 However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children’s skills differ. Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. 【3】 The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in

life. 【4】 It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. 【5】 And that is more important.

A. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

B. The more cost in education, the better the result will be.

C. Cooking requires patience and time.

D. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence.

E. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

F. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.

G. Thus, the more the children use the computer, the better the result will be.
