【题目】One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound. Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5，1891.
The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12，000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall's concert history.
Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls, but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stem Auditorium，is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2，804 in five levels of seating.
Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall's history. Question: “How do I get to Carnegie Hall？” Answer: “Practice, practice, practice.”
【1】It can be inferred that people wanted to save Carnegie Hall mainly because________．
A. it made a lot of money

【2】How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history?
A. Through newspaper reports.
B. Through old concert programmes.

【3】Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny?

B. Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practice a lot.
C. Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.
D. Because you don't expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. The history of Carnegie Hall

【题目】Homeschooling is a popular alternative to sending your children to a public or private school. It seems to be especially popular with stayathome parents who would rather teach their children themselves in the privacy of their own homes. In order to homeschool your children, you will need to know the basics of how to do this, and, like everything, there are steps you will need to follow.
Homeschooling is legal in all fifty states. The first step is to check with your state's Board of Education to find out what the legal requirements are and what you will need to do in order to comply with them.
Next, you will need to determine whether or not you want your children to follow a structured curriculum. Most parents use this system to ensure that their children will study every subject that a child who goes to a private or public school would.
Homeschooling can not only provide your children with the essential learning of the basic subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic (算数), but it can also help your children to master muchneeded life skills. These skills can range from learning how to do the cleaning to balancing his or her own checkbook. They are skills that your child will need to know so that he or she can take care of themselves later on in life.
One last point about homeschooling: The question of interaction and socialization is most always brought up in the question on whether or not a child should be homeschooled. Publicschooling is automatically thought to be a good place for a child to learn how to get along with his or her peers. While some social skills probably can be learned in this type of environment, peer pressure is always a constant concern for parents. Fortunately, parents who homeschool can teach their children moral values as well as the right way to get along with other people.
【1】Homeschooling is very popular in America mainly because ________.
A. there are not enough public schools to meet with the children's education
B. the development of the Internet and other techniques makes it possible
C. there are some stayathome parents who have time and the ability to teach their children
D. the government encourages parents to teach their children at home
【2】From the last paragraph we can know that ________.
A. whether homeschooling is successful or not depends on the children
B. more moral values can be learned from the public or private schools than at home
C. public schools are good places for children to communicate with each other
D. some parents want to homeschool children because of the peer pressure
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE in the writer's opinion?
A. Parents who want to homeschool children must know the law of the country very well.
B. Parents who want to homeschool children should go to the public school to study first.
C. Most children should often help their parents to do the cleaning at home.
D. Homeschooling is helpful for children to learn some basic life skills.

【题目】A safari park is a park in which wild animals are kept. They are mainly located in east or central Africa. They often occupy a very wild area, with mountains and rivers. To visit the park and look at the animals, people have to drive around — in a car for a few of hours because the park is huge.
In south Africa there is a safari park, which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.
There is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. Anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals may fiercely attack people. From the car he may see almost every type of African wildlife. Some of these are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example rhinoceroses are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches. Perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day.
Travelers may purchase food for the animals. They can feed them when they tour the park. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.
A traveler may carry a gun with him in his journey. The gun is given to him by the government. However, it is not used for hunting. In fact, a seal is fixed to it. The traveler may fire at a wild beast to defend himself in case he is attacked. However, he has to prove the government that he has been attacked and that he has not fired at a harmless animal.
【1】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The gun is given to a traveler by the government.

【2】Which is the thing people have to do while traveling in the park?
A. Carry a gun with him.
B. Drive around in a car.

【题目】The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity Epidemic— and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 【1】 But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.
1．If you're obese, blame your genes.
【2】 Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.
2．If you're obese, you lack selfcontrol.
Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 【3】 Even, the most vigilant(警觉的)people may not be good controllers of themselves.
3．【4】
Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 per cent of Americans live in the “food deserts”， about 65 per cent of the nation's population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.
4．The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.
Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. 【5】 In fact, although a drop in workrelated physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.
A．Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.
B．Obesity rates have increased.
C．Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.
D．But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.
E．People hold different views on obesity.
F．People benefit a lot from physical activities.
G．Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand.
