摘要：You may find this passage in . A.a newspaper B.a book C.a magazine D.an official document G Looking back on my childhood,I realize that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon gave up their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before World War Ⅰ we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys .Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all,the insects. I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my eagerness has led me into varied studies or research.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my sensible mind.Suddenly you imagine you see the answer to the puzzling question,because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiously,a sharp eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant worlds do not make a scientist;one of the best-known and important qualities required is self-training,a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training,determination and a goal.A scientist,up to a point,can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both.

A modern-day love story of a man spotting the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over.

For Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he spotted a woman on a Manthttan train last November. But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch picture to find her—www.Nygirlofmydreams.com.

Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people, it only took Moberg 48 hours to track down the woman, with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing. New Yorkers took sympathy on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt.

The mysterious girl was named as Camille Hayton, from Melbourne, Australia, who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn. One of her friends spotted the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.

But after finding each other, appearing on TV and getting international press, the couple took their romance out of the public eye, with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more comments—until now.

Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn’t work out.

“I say we dated for a while but now we’re just friends,” Hayton, now 23, told the newspaper. Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as “that girl” and the question is always the same: “So what happened?”

“I think the situation was so intense that it linked us,” she said, adding, “it linked us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was. I don’t know. But I wanted to give it a go so didn’t wonder what if, what if?”[来源:Zxxk.Com]

Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York, keeping busy with acting classes, working in two clothing stores. Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns.

“I just can’t believe it happened. It feels like a long time ago,” said Hayton. Moberg, however, was still refusing to comment on the relationship.

1.After Moborg lost the girl in the crowd he set up a website with .

A. a pretty notice to find her B. a rough drawing to discover her

C. an exciting program to attract her D. an inspiring story to move her

2. Moberg found the girl in a short time because .

A. he phoned everybody in the city B. he e-mailed everybody in the city

C. he continued his hunt day and night D. he got help from the net citizens

3. What has happened to Hayton after the subway romance?

A. She has become a superstar in the city.

B. She has become a journalist in Australia.

C. She still gets noticed in the streets in New York.

D. She is out of work and is looking for a new job.

4.The best title for this passage may be .

A. NY subway romance hits end

B. NY subway romance causes debate(争论)

C. NY—a romantic city for the young couple

D. NY—a heartbreaking city for the young couple

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　In the United States you will find yourself being urged from every page of every newspaper and every television station to buy all kinds of goods．

　　Not only is there a wide range of prices for goods in America, there is also a wide range in the quality of goods offered for sale．Unlike some countries．

　　Americans generally pay the price of a product without question, instead of trying to get a lower price by bargaining．However, there are many “sales” in the United States, during which time stores will lower their normal prices．This may all be very confusing to visitors．How are you going to know how to “get your money's worth” when you shop? Perhaps the best advice is：Don't hurry．Visit various stores and determine the quality of goods．Read the advertisements so that you can compare prices．

　　There is a great variety of shops in the United States, ranging from very large stores called “department stores” to very small shops．There are “discount houses” offering goods at low prices, and “dime stores” specializing in a wide range of inexpensive items．

　　Most department stores in large cities carry better quality products at higher prices．However, they offer the shoppers great convenience since they contain such a wide variety of products．

　　If convenience isn't as important to you as price, you may want to shop in discount houses．These stores have nearly as great a variety of goods as department stores, but offer lower prices．They can do so for several reasons．They don't offer the same services to buyers that department stores do; there may be fewer sales people; and the store probably doesn't deliver purchases．

　　Another popular shop is the “dime store”．No longer selling many things for five or ten cents, these stores got their name in the last century when it was decided that a small profit on a great quantity of goods would be better than a large profit on fewer sales．Dime stores specialize in a wide variety of inexpensive items and today, prices range from a quarter or 50 cents up to several dollars．

(1)

The passage is mainly about ________
[　　]
A．	American hospitality．
B．	the life of Americans．
C．	American stores．
D．	the business of Americans．

(2)

Why can discount houses offer goods at lower prices compared with department stores? a．They have fewer employees． b．They have larger quantities of goods． c．They offer fewer services． d．They don't provide delivery service．
[　　]
A．	a b c
B．	a b d
C．	a c d
D．	b c d

(3)

What's special about dime stores?
[　　]
A．	They sell lots of goods at a small profit．
B．	They make big profits by selling some goods．
C．	They provide goods with a price lower than 50 cents．
D．	They provide goods ranging from bargains to expensive ones．

(4)

Where can we most probably read this passage?
[　　]
A．	In a research paper．
B．	In a science report．
C．	In a geography book．
D．	In a travel magazine．

阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中，选出符合各小题要求的
最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。

     Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose
you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from
A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don't need
to use.
     1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your
offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain
these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
     2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English
teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I've been giving you a bit of a plug at our
middle school. I told the students to "get a copy!" It's good stuff! Fantastic!
      3. I'm one of Yao's fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English
Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me?
Thank you very much indeed.
      4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really
good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us
some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should
give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more
accurately. Thank you!
      5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the
position of the paper e.g., 总编责任编辑 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in
English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I
need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
     A. Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way
to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words
around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it's good to look up the words and then mark them
down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try
using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
     B. The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy
of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles
such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If
you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I'll try to answer.
     C.The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write
him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in
sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he's living and playing in
Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at:   Yao Ming   Compaq Centre 10  Houston, TX 77046
     D.Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you're right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure
there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep
improving, so thank you.
     E. Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We
contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the
articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some
information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
     F. Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We're glad it's helpful to your students. We always try to
include articles that reflect real life. It's our hope that CR will not only improve student's English but also
open up a different worldview.
