One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After along period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
1.The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.

2.The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that______.
A. teachers never gave the students the way of learning English
B. some teachers didn’t teach students to think in English
C. students didn’t remember the way teachers taught them
D. teachers didn’t want their students to think in English
3.The underlined word “they” (in Paragraph 2) refers to “_____”.
A. English students B. Chinese teachers

If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no merit. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?
One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions (任务), and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.
Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many spinoff (衍生的) technologies it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.
There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.
1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By offering analyses.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving some examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
2.The function of Jaws of Life is to _____.
A. save people from traffic accidents
B. do experiments on the space shuttle
C. keep houses warm and energy efficient
D. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets
3.In the author’s opinion, space exploration _____.
A. has changed our life completely
B. costs too much of our time
C. benefits us in many ways
D. has nothing to do with us
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Benefits of space exploration
B. Is space exploration worth the cost?
C. How to make space exploration affordable
D. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program

Just 10 years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor. “Yes,” he said, “there is something wrong with the left, upper lobe(肺叶). You have a moderately advanced case... You'll have to give up work at once and go to bed. Later on, we'll see.”
Feeling like a man who is in mid?career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a bench. I needed to think. In the next 3 days, I cleared up my affairs, then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. I realise now that this world I'm living in is not my oyster(牡蛎) to be opened but my opportunity to be grasped. Each day, to me, is a precious thing. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand?new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to fill.
I've learned to appreciate those little, all?important things I never thought I had the time to notice before：the play of light on running water, the music of the wind in my favourite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood. How well, for instance, I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed.
Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, “Let me make note of this moment I'm living right now, because in it I'm well, happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won't always be like this, so while it is, I'll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life.”
1.Which word can best describe the author's feeling after visiting the doctor?

2.How long did it take the author to recover from his disease?

C. Three years and a half. D. Four years.
3.The underlined words “these years” in Paragraph 3 refer to the years when the author ________.
A. was ill
B. started his career
C. cleared up his affairs
D. struggled to go back to his work
4.By fighting with his disease, the author realised ________.
A. patients should know how to get on with doctors
B. doctors should treat patients more carefully
C. we should pay enough attention to diets
D. we should value and appreciate life

As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin(达尔文) collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.
His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.
As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.
Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection”(《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.
Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.
1.Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.
A. make him like natural history
B. make him become a doctor
C. let him change his hobbies
D. have him give up his collection
2.According to the passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.
A. his study at Cambridge University
B. his collection of coins
C. the naturalists at Cambridge
D. the voyage of the Beagle
3.The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_____”.
A. they gave monkeys life
B. they were different from monkeys
C. they were developed from monkeys
D. they had to live with monkeys
