Dear Paul,
I really can’t thank you very much for your invitation.
I do want to accept them and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese paintings to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to inform you that I can’t. The reason is because I am busy preparing myself for the coming College Entrance Examination. As for the introduction speech, I strongly recommend my friend Anna, that is the most suitable choice to take my place on next Sunday. She begun to learn paintings at an early age and has good knowledge of traditional Chinese paintings. However, her active personality and perfect spoken English will help making your activity a success.
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wish to you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

No poem should ever be discussed or analyzed, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting(背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing it if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is a criticism of life, and a heightening(提升) of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
1.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.
A. analyze it by oneself B. copy it down in a notebook
C. practise reading it aloud D. discuss it with others
2.According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________.
A. to enjoy poetry B. to become teachers
C. to become poets D. to understand life
3.The underlined words “make room” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. to provide equipment B. to leave a certain amount of time
C. to set aside enough space D. to build a booth
4.The best title for the passage may be “________”.
A. Analyzing Poems B. Discussing Poems
C. Learning English D. Reading Poems Aloud

Amazing Facts About ELF Owls
The elf owl is mostly found in the southwestern parts of the United States and Mexico. During the spring and summer seasons, it moves to Arizona and New Mexico. It returns to Mexico for the winter. The elf owl doesn’t build its own nest. It lives in tree holes.
The elf owl is a yellow bird with dark wings. Its eyes are bright yellow and its feet are large. It is the smallest owl of the species, only about 12.5—14.5 centimeters long. It is also the world’s lightest owl, weighing not more than forty grams. In general, female elf owls weigh more than male ones.
The female usually lays three eggs at a time. After the young elf owls are born, their mother will feed them with worms for up to three to four weeks. After 10 weeks, the young ones are fully grown and ready to take flight.
The elf owls are not aggressive birds. When danger comes, they will fly away in the other direction, rather than staying and facing the danger or their enemies. Besides flying, the elf owl can also walk and climb like a parrot. The elf owl is most active duck, during the night and just before dawn. It can produce many different kinds of sounds.

科目：高中英语 来源：福建省龙岩市毕业班教学质量检查英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
More and more people, especially in developed countries, arc becoming older. In the United States there are currently over 40 million people aged 65 and over, more than 10 million are over 85. Caring for these senior citizens is becoming a necessity, and a big industry.
Traditionally, care for the elderly has taken place in an extended family, where grandparents live at home and are helped by other family members. However, as more and more young people enter the work force full time they cannot care for their parents or grandparents any more. There are more than 10,000 organizations that provide care for the elderly. More than 1,000 were founded last year alone. Ordinary people quit their jobs and start private care centers, where they offer senior citizens their services.
One of the most difficult aspects of such an organization is finding the right people to do the job. Caring for the elderly is not an easy task. It requires skill and patience. Among daily tasks are preparing meals, washing older people, or simply keeping them company. Many care workers quit because they find it very depressing(令人沮丧的). It is important to help the elderly stay mobile as long as possible. When they cannot walk or climb stairs they need more help: thus costs become higher. Care workers concentrate on exercises to help them stay mobile. In many cases assisted living replaces round-the-clock health care. Elderly people need help with some daily tasks but can mostly live on their own. It also costs less than full nursing care.
While wealthy Americans turn to private care centers, those who are poorer cannot pay for the services because Medicare does not cover it. Not all countries offer health care provided by the state. In Asia and Africa, for example, older people are cared for by family members.
1.Why are more and more private care centers started?
A. Many people can't find other jobs. B. Caring for the elderly is an easy task.
C. Many young people take full time jobs. D. Care workers can get well paid.
2.Who pays for the service in the care center?
A. Medicare. B. The state. C. The family. D. Care centers.
3.What is the third paragraph in the text mainly about?
A. Reasons to start a care center. B. Skills that care workers need.
C. Costs for nursing care. D. Difficulties in running a care centre.
4.How many daily tasks for nursing care are mentioned in the text?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
