It was already dark when an old man came to a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”

“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food?

Jake O' Brien，one of the central characters in Sterling R．Walker's science fiction novel The Orphan Ship，has just received some bad news. The medical school he has been going to is closing down because of financial(财务的)problems；and to make matters worse，the only other medical program in the world also happens to be on another planet. Thus，in order to become a doctor，Jake packs his suitcase and jumps on board the passenger ship Atlanta to go to Mars!

When Jake and his cousin Lorina Murphy journey to Mars Station in search of educational opportunities，they never guess they will turn into life savers. But because of the extreme poverty and child exploitation(剥削)happening on Mars，these two cousins are forced to accept their true destiny(命运)．However，they are not alone in their efforts to save the poor “street kids”．Early in the story these two heroes are joined by the crew(船员)of the Ishmael，which in the course of the story，becomes a rescue ship and a safe place for over one hundred homeless children.

In this novel，there are different themes. While fighting the cruel people who sell the “street kids” of Mars Station，the colorful characters of The Orphan Ship also manage to fall in love，find wealth，and form lasting friendships.

The real power of the story comes from the characters' expression of fellow feeling—a feeling of understanding others because you have shared similar experiences. The characters in The Orphan Ship have a sense of social duty and spiritual commitment. For example，at one point in the story，shocked by the way the homeless children have been treated，Lorina notices “a pair of black children sitting under a streetlight begging food from passers?by”．Yet “no one gave the children a second look.” Fortunately，however，Lorina and her newfound friends—the crew of the Ishmael，which soon becomes the “Orphan Ship”—do indeed care for the children of Mars Station，as they join forces to provide them safe passage to earth and also a home. In this way the theme of compassion is the centerpiece of the entire novel.

1.Jake decides to go to Mars because ______.

A. studying medicine is cheaper on Mars than on earth

B. the medical school on Mars is better than that on earth

C. Mars is the only place where he can realize his dream

D. his cousin encourages him to become a doctor on Mars

2.What's Jake and his cousin's destiny?

A. To save other people's lives.

B. To become the crew of the Ishmael.

C. To fail to get an education on Mars.

D. To make friends with homeless children.

3.All the following are themes of the novel EXCEPT ______.

A．friendship B．spreading knowledge

C．finding wealth D．love

4.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A．passers?by B．Lorina's newfound friends

C．homeless children D．the black

Energy goes from one plant or animal to another. A food chain shows how this energy moves. Each time an animal gets eaten, its energy is passed onto the animal that eats it. The food chain is very important because it keeps the balance of nature. If one part of the food chain disappears, it can affect all the other plants and animals. Any threat to the food chain is a threat to the environment’s biodiversit(生物多样性). The food chain helps keep animal populations in balance. However, if something happens to increase or decrease one of the links in the food chain, that balance is broken. If one animal becomes endangered, it puts all the animals above it at risk.

Some of the threats are natural, such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornados, floods and so on. But the biggest threats to the food chain come from you and me. These threats include overhunting, overfishing, logging, farming, development, pollution, etc. The food chain is endangered anywhere humans have had an effect on the natural environment.

A recent study shows that the overfishing of large sharks is damaging the food chain along the US Atlantic coast. Canadian and American scientists say sharks are being killed in great numbers for their meat and fins(鳍). Now, not enough sharks are around to eat the cownose(牛鼻) ray. The ray’s population has increased and they have eaten up the shellfish to the point where it has hurt commercial(商业的) fishing.

Many of us disturb the natural environment in our own backyards. It’s up to us to take care of the environment and try not to disrupt the natural food chain. If we don’t act responsibly, animals will start disappearing.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. The food chain is not easy to be broken.

B. The energy of an animal usually disappears when it dies.

C. Increasing the links will not break the balance of nature.

D. Breaking the food chain is bad for the biodiversity of the environment.

2.The study mentioned in Paragraph 3 proves that .

A. human activities can be a big threat to the food chain

B. we are all responsible for the breaking of the food chain

C. natural disasters are hard to break the food chain

D. hunting large sharks for meat is beneficial

3.We can infer that the writer wrote this passage mainly to .

A. explain what the food chain is

B. tell us something interesting about Nature

C. suggest that we stop eating meat to save animals

D. suggest that we not disrupt the natural food chain

When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever thought about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you.

●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want, give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.

●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning (before about 9:00) or too late at night (after about 9:30). Also try not to call at mealtimes.

●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phone must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.

●When you’re face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.

●When in a restaurant with your friends, keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practice speaking in a low voice. If no one turns to your way, you’ve got it.

●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you. Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”(振动) and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.

1.Which is TRUE according to the passage above?

A. You may call people anytime you like.

B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant.

C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.

D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane, but not after the doors are closed.

2.We may infer from the tips that ______.

A. some people didn’t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone calls.

B. You must hang up quickly if the person you are calling is not the one you want.

C. calling people too early or too late is not polite.

D. almost everyone has got a cell phone.

3.What does the underline sentence “… you’ve got it.” mean in the passage?

A. You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others.

B. You have made the phone call short and interesting.

C. You have got the message you are waiting for.

D. You have made a phone call secretly.

4.From the tips given above, we can decide the writer must agree with the opinion that ______.

A. like the saying “clothes make a man”, nowadays cell phones make a man

B. as the old saying goes, money talks, nowadays cell phones talk

C. the way we use the cell phones tells what we are like

D. we are what cell phones we use

5.From the tips given above, how do you consider the other people around you at a theatre?

A. Talk with them and make friends with them.

B. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phones rings, answer it immediately.

C. If it is an important call, you can answer it on your seat.

D. Check that your phone is not turned on before you enter.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I’ll give you twenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing."

Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I’ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “ Would you mend this chair for me?”. “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (five pounds)?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.

1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____.

A. was rather impolite

B. was warmly received

C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair

D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair

2.The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means _____.

A. plan for dealing with things

B. decision to sell things

C. idea of repairing things

D. way of doing things

3.The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _____.

A. changed his mind

B. accepted the offer

C. saw the writer’s purpose

D. decided to help the writer

4.How much did the writer pay?

A. ￡5. B. ￡7. C. ￡20. D. ￡27.

5.From the text, we can learn that the writer was _____.

A. honest B. careful C. smart D. funny
