My friend had mentioned the other day that her father had a lot of children's toys he was looking to give away. She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford.
When I met her father, he began to explain he was too poor once and that he would hate to throw away things that can be very useful.
Before he showed me what he was giving away, I thought the toys would be mostly lego's(乐高积木) or things like that. When he was showing me around I saw a bed, a slide, a kitchen set and many other things that just blew my mind. He told me to write a list of everything my daughter could use and as my eyes were wide, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was helping him by getting rid of the stuff.
As I was looking around I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty. Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back. I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.
In the eyes of charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal. I know that we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter really does enjoy all these nice things!
1.Why did the old man want to give away his toys?
A. He wanted to help those poor children.
B. He was wealthy enough to buy new toys.
C. He wanted to make full use of those toys.
D. He needed some space for more useful things.
2.In the writer's opinion, the old man felt grateful because
A. he wanted to make her more guilty
B. he wanted her to take the toys quickly
C. the toys would be put to good use
D. he finally got rid of the stuff
3.What can we know from the passage?
A. The writer took all the toys home.
B. The old man was a kind and thoughtful person
C. The writer wanted to refuse the stuff when she first saw them.
D. The writer's daughter enjoyed the slide most among all the stuff.
4.How did the writer feel when given the stuff?
A. Guilty and honored. B. Grateful and respected.
C. Honored and respected. D. Guilty and grateful.

From our smartphones to our latest weaponry, the technology that underpins（支撑） modern life would be impossible without rare earth metals． The importance of rare earths has only grown as emerging markets increase their demand for technologies made with it, as does the renewable energy industry．
The 17 metallic elements are common in the earth-s crust, but the technique used to extract and refine them is labor-intensive, environmentally hazardous and increasingly costly． Thomas Gradael, a professor of geology and geophysics at the Yale School of Forestry Environmental Studies, explains that the钰criticality" of rare earths was only recently understood after China, which dominates the world-s supply of the minerals, cut exports by 40% in 2010, citing concerns over how polluting the rare earth industry was．
Along with colleagues at Yale, Gradael decided to investigate the metals used in modern technologies to determine if there were viable（可行的） substitutes．“Twenty or thirty years ago electronics were being made with 11 different elements," explains Gradael． “Today's computers and smartphones use something like 63 different elements．" Their findings showed that there were no "readily apparent" substitutes for a metal that would not compromise on quality or performance．
However increased mining for these scarce resources can have some nasty side effects for the environment． China, which has intensively mined for rare earths with little regulation, allowing it to dominate the global industry since 1990, has acknowledged the incredible environmental harm caused by the process． “Excessive rare earth mining has resulted in landslides, clogged rivers, environmental pollution emergencies and even major accidents and disasters, causing great damage to people's safety and health and the ecological environment," read a white paper issued by the Chinese cabinet in June last year．
Recycling metal has been advocated by some as a possible way of managing these precious resources-the European Parliament adopted a law curbing dumping of electric waste in 2012． But Gradael says that for rare earths, recycling will have little impact．
1.Rare earths are growingly important in that
A． they exist in small numbers
B． they are essential in modern technologies
C． life would be impossible without them
D． new technology markets are emerging
2.Which one of the following can be used in the blank?
A． It is in China that rare earths are fully understood．
B． Despite the name, rare earth metals are not in fact rare．
C． There is a growing concern over the rare earth industry．
D． Rare earth metals are difficult to collect though important．
3.Gradael investigated the use of rare earths in modern technologies to ．
A． prove the important role rare earths play
B． learn the number of different elements used
C． determine whether there are substitutes for rare earths
D． research further the quality or performance of rare earths
4. Why does the author take China as an example in Para．4?
A． To tell the wide use of rare earth in China．
B． To prove the side effects of rare earth mining．
C． To warn people of the possible damage．
D． To teach other countries a lesson to follow．
5.The text may probably be followed by the paragraphs about
A． the reasons why recycling works little
B． the ways to manage rare earths
C． the effects brought about by rare earths
D． the attitudes people hold to the law

Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm.
John Keats' next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the "knowledge" associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
1.John Keats' attitude towards life changed because of________.
A. his early education from school
B. the criticism of a magazine
C. Edmund Spenser's poetry
D. the deaths of his parents
2.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A. They read many books.
B. They died of the same disease.
C. They had a bad childhood.
D. They showed strong interest in poetry.
3.What do we know from the passage?
A. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
B. Keats received little education at school.
C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D. Endymion was about a real love story.
4.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was________.
A. knowledgeable B. experienced
C. determined D. impatient
5.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The poem Hyperion wasn't completed by Keats.
B. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats' time.
C. It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.
D. Keats' family must have been very poor when he was young.

Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Famers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox, the kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport. They wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict rules of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly are expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox-hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people who are against fox-hunting, because they think it is brutal(残暴的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt opponents (阻止者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox-hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party member of Parliament(英国议会), Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
1.Wealthy people in Britain have been hunting foxes to ______.
A. benefit the farmers B. get entertainment
C. show off their wealth D. limit the fox population
2.The opponents of fox-hunting often discourage the game by ______.
A. using violence
B. taking legal action
C. seeking help from farmers
D. confusing the fox hunters
3.A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ______.
A. protect wild animals like foxes
B. control fox-hunting on a large scale
C. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
D. standardize the behavior of fox-hunting
4.What can be inferred from this passage?
A. Limiting the fox population is unnecessary at all.
B. Killing foxes with poison is not allowed by the law.
C. Hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent.
D. Fox-hunting causes conflicts between hunters and farmers.
