Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.

One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”

After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.

Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a goods yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I can dimly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(大灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.

Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. In spite of the fact the adjustment is never easy, I had my parents and teachers to help. The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was hurt. “I can't use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball.

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

A.the author lost his sight because of a car crash

B.the author wouldn't love life if the calamity didn't happen

C.the calamity made the author appreciate what he had

D.the calamity strengthened the author's desire to see

2.What's the most difficult thing for the author?

A.How to adjust himself to reality

B.Building up assurance that he can find his place in life

C.Learning to manage his life alone

D.To find a special work that suits the author

3.For the author, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man ________.

A.hurt the author's feeling

B.made the author puzzled

C.directly led to the change of the author's career

D.inspired the author

4.According to the passage, the author ________.

A.set goals for himself but only invited failure most of the time

B.thought that nothing was impossible for him

C.was discouraged from trying something out of reach for fear of failure

D.suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning

 

Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images areused in lessons,research suggests.They are quicker to learn andabsorb new concepts,and display higher levels of concentration.

Professor Anne Bamford,of the University of the Arts,London,studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries,including the UK.Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks,improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons.They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully.

The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding,increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons.

Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology­90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film.Schools would need 3D­enabled projectors(投影仪),laptops with good picture capabilities,3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classrooms.

But Danny Nicholson,an educationist,said the technology would be impractical to use inschools and could be costly.He said,“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting,I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意儿).There are a few cases where a true3D image might help,but most of the time,good 2D models that can be moved would be just aseffective.”

In the US,one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1,000 3Dprojectors fixed in classrooms.And the University of Caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin, has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils.Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version.

1.What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?

A.There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images.

B.Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes.

C.Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology.

D.3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology.

2.Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D ________.

A.is of no help in classes

B.has a bright future in classes

C.is more practical than 2D models

D.may not be affordable for schools

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.3D technology will replace 2D models in the future.

B.Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before.

C.Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training.

D.3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado.

4.The underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means ________.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊猫)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

1.We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food

B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways

D. eat entirely different food

2.Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.

C. The bear. D. The fox.

3.Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

A. the season changes

B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places

D. they are attracted by different smells

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. food is chosen for a good reason

B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food

D. some people care little about healthy diet

 

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.

The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.

"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing (扭动) about in the water," police said."Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father.

Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water." He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore."There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine".The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.

Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折).He was in a stable condition now.

Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy."I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said.

Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.

Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish.Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.

1.The report mainly tells us _______.

A.shark attacks on humans are on the rise

B.sharks attacked humans three times in one month

C.a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach

D.shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches

2.The underlined word" savaged "in the first paragraph probably means _______.

A.attracted B.dragged

C.bit D.packed

3.What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?

A.It is one of the largest cities in Australia.

B.Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.

C.There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round.

D.There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.

4.All the followings are the causes of Australia's sharks increasing EXCEPT that_______.

A.environmental protection has created a cleaner environment

B.a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers

C.many shark species are protected in Australia waters
