【题目】 Old Mrs. Lynn was working in the cottage, hanging the washed clothes on the line. What she wasn’t aware was that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were sure that she was a witch and wanted to find the evidence.
They watched nervously as she took a broomstick to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn’t get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly — signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack. (干草堆).
The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack, followed by Michael, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Accidentally, she tripped and crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.
“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.
“What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”
After thinking for a while, Julia said, “Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”
Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady’s forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.
“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”
Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when I fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.” The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!
【1】Mrs. Lynn stopped sweeping when ________.
A.her doorstep became very clean

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲到几个小孩以为林恩太太是一个女巫，想要找到她是女巫的证据。但林恩太在干活的时候不小心摔伤了头，孩子们赶紧上去帮助老太太，在孩子们和大人们的帮助下老太太获救了，孩子们非常的内疚，但也很高兴老太太并不是女巫。
【1】细节理解题。第二段第一句、最后一句及第二段第一句提到“They watched nervously as she took a broomstick to sweep the dirt from her stone steps....The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly — signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack….The old lady put aside her broomstick”老太太在打扫台阶的时候，她的母鸡开始发出很大的声音时，老太太才抬起头来。母鸡在干草堆上生了一个蛋，然后她放下扫把向干草堆走去，即老太太是听到母鸡的声音就停下了打扫。故选B。
【2】细节理解题。第五段提到““What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”Patrick问道要不要去帮助这位老太太的时候，回答到万一是个陷阱呢？可知，为什么琳恩夫人摔倒时帕特里克不愿意帮助她是因为帕特里克认为老太太是个女巫，他认为老太太的行为是在欺骗他们。故选A。
【3】词句猜测题。前文提到孩子们认为这位老太太是一个女巫，而且认为老太太的行为就是在欺骗他们，且第六段第一句提到“After thinking for a while…”在思考了一会之后，孩子们才决定帮助这位老太太，由此说明孩子们非常的谨慎。故划线词的意思是“谨慎地”。A. Slowly.缓慢地；B. Hurriedly.急匆匆地；C. Carefully.谨慎地；D. Quietly.安静地。故选C。
【4】主旨大意题。文章第一段提到有几个小孩认为林恩太太是女巫，并且想要找到证据。在她不小心受伤后，孩子们也是犹豫了一会才去帮助她。老太太在医院接受治疗后非常感激帮助过她的孩子们，孩子们这时候才内疚地意识到老太太真的不是女巫。故事告诉读者不要从一个人的外表去判断一个人的品质。故选B。

【题目】 There are thousands of international students who enroll (注册) in private high schools in the U.S. each year. 【1】
Cape Cod Academy is located in one of the least diverse parts of Massachusetts. Tony Zhang comes from Guiyang, a city in southern China. When asked about his first day there, Tony said he had no friends for the first couple of weeks. 【2】 Not because of the clothes, but because he chose a high school nearly 8,000 miles from home. Tony wants to experience a new culture and go to college in the U.S. He says the move forced him to grow up.
When another teenager Catherine Zhao got here from Beijing, it took her quite a while to get used to small-town Cape Cod. There are no skyscrapers and everybody drives. 【3】 “In China, we learn English in class, we know how to write, how to read, but there are not too many opportunities to talk there,” she said.
【4】 Some students chat with their parents via the Internet every day. Tony also talked about the difficulties he and other Chinese students faced there. “I will say they, the American students, in general, think we’re math geniuses or science geniuses. But, you know, to be honest, we are human beings as well, so we play sports, too,” he said. Another thing was, when they saw him writing Chinese, they would be like, “Oh my God, how can you even do that, to communicate in such a complicated language?”
Realizing that is part of life here for Tony and his Chinese classmates, Catherine is taking the long view, and hopes to study piano at Boston’s Berkley School of Music. Tony wants to major in economics and education at Brown University. After, he says, he wants to go back to China and work on the education system there. 【5】
A.There’s homesickness, too.
B.As we can see, he’s matured a lot.
C.Actually, he isn’t like many teenagers.
D.That can bring on some serious culture shock.
E.She said the biggest challenge for her was talking.
F.Above all, they have to overcome the culture shock first.
G.She admitted that she hated communicating with other peers.

【题目】 I still remember my first time going to the Chinese company's canteen. When I stepped onto the elevator, each one was full of people. 【1】 However, there was no sign of fire and people were laughing and talking. I followed the flow of the crowd to the doors of the canteen. It occurred to me that in China everyone has lunch almost at the same time. 【2】The canteen followed this schedule, only being open a few hours per day.
When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind. 【3】 Unlike my school lunchroom, here everyone lined up and took a tray, and instead of silverware there were chopsticks and soup spoons.
As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didn't recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right, 【4】 I ended up taking a pork and cucumber dish and a tofu salad.
I have been at my company for over a year and a half. 【5】 I have learned what dishes I like, mostly by trial and error, and a lot of the workers know me and say hello to me.
I am still getting used to eating lunch at "lunchtime", but I think the schedule definitely helps keep me on track during the day. I wish there were something like this at offices in my hometown.
A.I thought I had missed a fire drill.
B.There was no emergency; it was just lunchtime.
C.I noticed things at lunchtime were a bit different.
D.I felt that I needed to make some quick decisions.
E.The canteen reminded me of my school lunchroom.
F.And now I am glad to say I am more confident in the canteen.
G.I was not very familiar with the local food or restaurants in China.

【题目】 Back in November 1988, Robert Tappan Morris was a 20-something graduate student at Cornell who wanted to know how big the Internet was- that is, how many computers were connected to it. So he wrote a program that would travel from computer to computer and ask each machine to send a signal back to a control server, which would keep count. That was how the world’s first cyber (网络) attack set the stage for modern cyber security challenges.
The program worked well. Morris had known that if it traveled too fast there might be problems, but the limits he built in weren’t enough to keep the program from blocking up large sections of the Internet, both copying itself to new machines and sending those pings (电子脉冲) back, When he realized what was happening, even his messages warning system administrators about the problem couldn’t get through. Large numbers of Internet-connected computers are told to send lots of traffic to one particular address, overloading it with so much activity that either the system shuts down or its network connections are completely blocked. Morris’s program is now known as the “Morris worm”.
Worms and viruses are similar, but different in one key way: A virus needs a command, from a user or a hacker (黑客), to run its program. A worm, by contrast, hits the ground running all on its own. For example. even if you never open your email program, a worm that gets onto your computer might email a copy of itself to everyone in your address book.
In a time when few people were concerned about harmful software and nobody had protective software in his computer, the Morris worm spread quickly. It took 72 hours for researchers at Purdue and Berkeley to stop the worm. It affected tens of thousands of systems, Cleaning up the infection cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for each affected machine.
Morris wasn’t trying to destroy the Internet, but he was sentenced t0 three years of probation (缓刑) and a roughly US $ 10.000 fine. In the late 1990s, though. he became a dot-com millionaire- and is now a professor at MIT.
【1】What is Morris’s intention 1o write the program known now as the “Morris worm”?
A.To test the effect of protective software.
B.To start a harmful attack on the Internet.
C.To see how well a program can work on the Internet.
D.To get the number of the computers connected to the Internet.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.What loss the problem caused.
B.How the problem was dealt with.
C.How the unexpected problem came about.
D.What Morris did to prevent the problem from expanding.
【3】What does the underlined part “hits the ground” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Copies itself.B.Gets on the Internet.
C.Gets the user’s command.D.Copies your email address book.
【4】What happened to Morris after the attack?
A.He was punished for it.B.He invented a protective software.
C.He got help from a millionaire.D.He was asked to clear up the Internet.

【题目】 Dyslexia is a problem that interferes (干扰) with the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves (涉及)areas of the brain that process language.
Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading, in order to provide early help. John Gabrieli is leading a study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools. He says, “We partner with schools that have kindergartens. What we do is, for all the children whose parents permit them to participate, we give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read.
So far, fifty of the kindergartners have been examined in a machine that shows brain activity. The scanner uses a high-energy magnetic (有磁性的) field and radio waves to “look” inside the body. Written tests which are often used in previous studies are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems. Professor Gabrieli says, “Brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems.
And with reading problems, early identification is important. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less these interventions can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science require one to read textbooks.
【1】What do we know about Dyslexia?
A.It results in poor eyesight.
B.It is related to brain activity.
C.It only causes reading difficulty.
D.It has an influence on intelligence.
【2】What does the underlined word “interventions” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Approaches.B.Researches.
C.Instructions.D.Treatments.
【3】How is Professor Gabrieli’s study different from early ones?
A.It is scientifically based.
B.It focuses on written tests.
C.It examines children’s brains.
D.It needs parents’ participation.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Dyslexia – a Learning Disorder Involving Intelligence
B.Dyslexia – a Problem Relating to Kindergartners
C.A Way Identifying Dyslexia at an Early Stage
D.A Machine Showing Brain Development
