         Nuclearpowered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the
    20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them.
    But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
        The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclearpowered aircraft carriers will be sent to
    Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October
    30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called
    for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.
         It will be the first time that a nuclearpowered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in
    World War ? at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a
    nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclearpowered weapons are
    based.
          "A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause
    billions of dollars in damage," said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group
    has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
         The 44yearold Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since
    1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_
    will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern
    technology.
         Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the USJapan military alliance but also to
    keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't
    believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
         "There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense," said Tetsuo Maeda, an international
    relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an
    increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.

    1. With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
    A. are aware of its benefits to the country
    B. are anxious about its potential danger
    C. are curious about the advanced technology
    D. are against where the carrier will be based

    2.The underlined word "unveiled" in the fifth paragraph probably means________.
    A. perfected  
    B. discussed about
    C. produced  
    D. brought to view

    3. By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
    A. he is quite confident of their military defense
    B. he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
    C. what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
    D. it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries
    1-3: BDB

         Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills (读写能力).  With
    their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgemental
    (不作出评价的) listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心) ,  according  to  
    Intermountain Therapy Animals(ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the
    country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education
    Assistance Dogs( READ).
        The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. "Literacy specialists admit that children who
    read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower
    self-respect, and regard reading as a headache," said Lisa Myron, manager of the children's department.
         Last November the two groups started " Dog Day Afternoon" in the children's department of the main
    library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour.
    Those who attended three of the four classes received a "pawgraphed" book at the last class.
         The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dada
    Thumpowsky,  public relations manager.
    1. What is mainly discussed in the text?            
    A. Children's reading difficulties.      
    B. Advantages of raising dogs.      
    C. Service in a public library.      
    D. A special reading program.
    2. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _         .   
    A. dogs are young children's best friends      
    B. children can play with dogs while reading      
    C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children      
    D. children and dogs understand each other
    3. By saying " The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea" , the writer means the library       .   
    A. uses dogs to attract children      
    B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA      
    C. has opened a children's department      
    D. has decided to train some dogs
    4. A "pawgraphed" book is most probably _       .      
    A. a book used in Saturday classes      
    B. a book written by the children      
    C. a prize for the children      
    D. a gift from parents

         Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other
    cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools
    based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to
    attend the school.
         ________
         The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's
    studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom
    classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other
    subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between
    classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自
    助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the
    mother in the early morning hours.
         Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students
    in hig h schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese,
    science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies.
    All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects,
    electives(选修科目) are few.
         Afterschool Activities
         Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely
    change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs
    (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New
    students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs
    meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

    1. Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch________.
    A. in restaurants  
    B. in school cafeterias
    C. at home    
    D. in homeroom classrooms

    2. Students in the USA go to school________days a year.
    A. 180  
    B. 200  
    C. 240  
    D. 300

    3. The underlined word "rarely" in the fourth paragraph means "________".
    A. always  
    B. never  
    C. seldom 
    D. often

    4.From the passage we know that________.

         The horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world's first widely
    used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were
    no units for measuring power.
         Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that init one
    horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
         He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine
    could lift a 3,300 pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
         Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten-horsepower engine.
    1. Watt made the world's first _____.
    A. train
    B. engine
    C. steam engine
    D. bus
    2. Watt wanted to find a way _____.
    A. to lift a 3,300-pound weight
    B. to show how useful his steam engine was

    D. to measure the weight of his steam engine
    3. What does one horsepower mean? It means _____.
    A. one horse's power
    B. what one strong horse can do in one minute
    C. what one horse can do in a day
    D. what work one horse can do as much as possible
    4. Which is not true? 
    A. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute.
    B. Watt decided to make the world's first widely used horse engine.
    C. He wanted to find a way to tell people exactly how powerful his engine was.
    D. He wanted to measure the work his engine could do.

         Poor listening skills form an obstacle to effective communication.  A study by Dr.  Paul Panklin at a
    university found that 9 percent of communication time is devoted to writing,   16 percent to reading,   30
    percent to speaking and 45 percent to listening.  
         We spend more time listening than we do in any other form of communication.  However,   most of
    us don't pay much attention to it.  
          Research indicates that normal listening results in a 50percent retention immediately after a 10minute
    presentation,   which then declines to only about 25 percent after 48 hours.  Extension Specialist Bob
    Linda says the average person will hear 7.  5 minutes of a onehour presentation and will forget half of that.  
          One reason we listen so poorly is that our minds work much faster than our mouths.  The average
    person thinks 600-700 words per minute but speaks at a rate of about 125.  His listeners' minds are
    occupied with hearing only onefifth of the time he is speaking.  The listeners may consider and react to
    what is being said during the other fourfifths of the time,   or become absorbed in coming up with his
    response,   or think other thoughts and miss the rest of what is being said.  
          If we really listen,   we may be forced to accept a different perspective of reality.  Most of us have
    a firmly developed view of reality that we do not want to change.  Carl Rogers,   the psychiatrist,   points
    out that if you are really willing to listen to another,   to enter his private world and see reality as he sees
    it,   you run the risk of being changed.  "This risk of being changed is one of the most frightening prospects most of us can face. "

    1. From the passage,   we can learn that listening ______.  
    A.  always forms a barrier to our communication
    B. occupies the largest part in communication
    C. will take the place of other ways of communication
    D. is a difficult skill to master

    2. The underlined word "retention" in the 3rd paragraph means "________".  
    A. attention  
    B. presentation
    C. memory  
    D. occupation

    3. In normal listening,   the reason why an average person can only keep half of what the
        speaker says in mind is that ________.  
    A. half of that will be forgotten
    B. our mouths work much more slowly than our minds
    C. most of us pay little attention to it
    D. he is afraid of being changed

    4. According to Carl Rogers,   ________.  
    A. we should let listeners enter our private world
    B. the opinions of the speakers may affect us if we listen to them willingly
    C. we shouldn't make us changed while listening
    D. it is wrong that we don't want to change while listening

         Three types of pangolins (穿山甲) exist in Africa - the giant pangolin, the tree pangolin and the most
    widespread, the ground pangolin. Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails. They are toothless and
    have no external ears, although their hearing is good. Their sense of smell is well-developed, but their sight
    is poor. The weight of the scales (鳞片) and skin make up about 20% of their weight.
         The common pangolin prefers sandy soils and is found in woodlands and savannas (热带草原), within
    reach of water.
         All pangolins can roll themselves into a ball to defend themselves. The cutting action of their scales protects
    them too. Pangolins also have scent glands (臭腺) that release strong, foul smelling secretions. Pangolins are
    normally alone. Females are usually alone with their young. The young are 6 inches long and weigh 12 ounces
    at birth. Their pale, soft scales begin to harden by the second day. The baby is folded in the mother's lap or
    rolled-up body. It is nursed for 3 to 4 months and begins to eat termites (白蚁) at 1 month. At this time the
    infant begins to accompany the mother, perhaps riding on the base of her tail. If the mother senses danger the
    baby slips under her and is protected when she rolls up her body.
         Pangolins use their sense of smell to locate termite and ant nests. They dig up the insects with their claws
    and use their extremely long tongues to eat them.
    1. When pangolins are ____, they release strong, foul smelling secretions.
    A. happy
    B. sad
    C. frightened
    D. angry
    2. Which of the following words best describes the function of the pangolin's scales? 
    A. Heavy.
    B. Beautiful.
    C. Protective.
    D. Hard.
    3. When does the infant begin to accompany the mother pangolin?
    A. At l month old.
    B. At 2 months old.
    C. At 2-3 months old.
    D. At 3-4 months old.
    4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
    A. The pangolin's habitat.
    B. The pangolin's diet.
    C. The pangolin's behavior.
    D. The pangolin's appearance.

         It's known to us that when we taste delicious food, some people are in hunger. They live a hard life. They are poor and always don't have enough food to eat.
         Food banks are the organizations to help these poor people. Food banks receive the food from companies or supermarkets, and also from donations from the public. In this way, they collect extra food and give out the food to people who are hungry.
         The first food bank was St. Mary's Food Bank. It started in 1967 in Arizona. In 1979, it became a larger organization named America's Second Harvest Network-made up of over 200 food banks across the USA. Each year, the Network provides food for more than 25 million hungry people in the United States, including more than 9 million children and nearly 3 million old people.
          Volunteers are important to food banks. There are many different ways for you to volunteer. You can help out through activities such as:
         *Sorting, boxing and packaging donated food.
         *Tutoring poor kids at your local Kids Café.
         *Transporting or delivering food.
          It's simple. Take part in it today, and let's try to make our world without hunger!
    1. We can learn from the passage that food banks are _____.
    A. some special banks
    B. some organizations
    C. the banks for poor people
    D. the banks to receive food

    A. the author wants to set up another food bank
    B. many young people want to become volunteers
    C. few people want to become volunteers
    D. the author hopes to see more people become volunteers
