We have no idea about      men first began to use salt. But we do know that it had been used in many different ways     the history. For example, in many history books it is       
that people who lived three thousand years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt      keep the dead. It can keep the dead bodies     decay（腐烂）.
In the eighteenth century, a person who stole salt was thought to      broken the law. If a person was caught stealing salt, he would be thrown into prison.

Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The idea behind Lt is simple - the larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller ones, they won’t be able to reproduce, and the fish population is in danger.
But fishing out the largest fish from a population has an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce（繁殖）, then future generations become smaller. This is an example of evolution（进化） in action.
One scientist, Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule and if they can be reversed（颠倒）.
To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the large ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish.
For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (随意的).
After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. Here was evolution in action: If only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the large ones” group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their original size.
In other words, it takes less time to shrink(变小) than it does to recover.
小题1: The underlined word “it” (Line 2) refers to “           ”

A．the activity	B．the fish
C．the rule	D．the fisherman

小题2:Why do many people follow the “keep the big ones, throw the small ones back” rule?

A．It helps to protect fish numbers.

B．It helps to protect fish size.

C．It is the custom in most countries.

D．They will be punished if they don’t.

小题3:What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment?

A．The “keep the big ones” rule made no difference to fish size.

B．The “keep the big ones” rule made fish smaller on average.

C．The “keep the big ones” rule made the fish bigger on average.

D．The “keep the big ones” rule affected all fish populations in the same way.

小题4: What is the author’s intention in writing this article?

A．To encourage people to fish more carefully.

B．To urge governments to change the rules of fishing.

C．To describe the results of a scientific experiment.

D．To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.

“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”
Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃学)．
Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.
Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.
The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.
James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”
小题1:What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James’ study?

A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.

B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.

C．Truants have more interesting things to do.

D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.

小题2:The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“        ”.

A．experiencing a problem with	B．having a strict attitude towards
C．finding it difficult to solve	D．having little success with

小题3: By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that      .

A．school education is not efficient and needs improvement

B．it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm

C．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern

D．even good students may sometimes need a break from school

小题4: What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?

A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.

B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.

C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.

D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.

 School education(教育) is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not 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 know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.
Great scientists didn’t get everything from school. For example, Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things . The reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.
小题1:  According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _______.

A．to teach his students everything he knows

B．to teach the students how to think

C．to know everything they want to know

D．to teach the students how to work out a math problem

小题2: To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.

A．a certain formula	B．a certain fact
C．some facts	D．the way to solve it

小题3: Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Great scientists read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading.

B．Great scientists did thousands of experiments.

C．Great scientists always worked hard and never wasted time.

D．Great scientists got everything from school.

小题4: The passage is written mainly to tell us         .

A．how to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）

B．who the great scientists are

C．How to study

D．why Edison didn’t finish primary school

  How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?
The sun is probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you can still know that when the sun shines, it’s day and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.
Some people live near the sea from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on the ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again
小题1: From the passage we can know there are _______ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.

A．3

B．4

C．5

D．7

小题2:. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because________

A．they know very little about the sun

B．the sun there never goes down in winter

C．it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

D．it has long dark winters and long light summers

小题3:. What does the underlined word “tides” mean in the passage?

A．洋流

B．潮汐

C．海啸

D．波浪

小题4: In which page of newspaper can you probably read this passage?

A．News

B．Science

C．Advertisement

D．Sports

小题5: What is the best title for the passage?

A．Different Ways to Tell Time	B．How the Clock Was Invented
C．The Development of the Clock	D．A Useful Machine to Tell Time

 Scientists have made the world’s first human-sheep----with the body of a sheep and half-human organs(器官). Amazing, but true. The sheep is15percent human and 85 percent sheep. The breakthrough(突破)makes it possible to use animal organs in human bodies in the future. Professor Esmail Zanjani of University of Nevada, US, has spent seven years And over $9 million on the work. Zanjani took stem cells(干细跑) from the human body and put them into the sheep while it was still in its mother’s body. The stem cells made other cells that grew into organs. Zanjani believe that in the future such sheep might be used to help humans. Two months later a human-sheep is born, it has a liver(肝脏), heart, ling(肺) and brain that are part-human. These organs could be used to help people in need of them. There are different opinions about his work, however. Some say that scientists don’t have the right to create new creature(生物). Using animal organ might bring animal viruses(病毒) into human bodies. Others are afraid that the work might change sheep. But Professor Anjani has said that this is impossible.
