         The wellknown Rushmore National Monument in the United States is built on the Rush Moore Peak,
    1829 meters above sea level, of the Black Hills in the south-west of South Dakota. It is a group of huge
    stone statues of four American presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and
    Theodore Roosevelt. President Washington is the founding father of the country; the 3rd President
    Jefferson drafted the US Declaration of Independence; the 16th President Lincoln issued the
    Emancipation Proclamation and the 26th President Roosevelt protected the average people's right to
    compete fairly with trusts. All 1829 meters above sea level, made outstanding achievements for their

         The stone statues of presidents were built at the suggestion of a historian in the State of Dakota, with

    fixed gazes. On clear days, one can have a sight of the four presidents with their firm and steady
    expression at a distance of dozens of kilometers.

         [1] Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each
    of them. Hot is a simple, easily understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word
    hot. But not always, as we shall see.
         [2] The words hot potato, for example, give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression, hot
    potato. The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes. Imagine trying to carry a hot
    potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so. Some publicly argued problems are
    highly emotional. The_problems_must_be_treated_carefully, or_they_will_be_difficult_and_painful_if
    _an_elected_official_has_to_deal_with_them. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher taxes
    can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government
    programs could be cut. And that also can make a politician very unpopular. The questions must be dealt
    with carefully, the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
         [3] Another expression is not so hot. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer "Not so
    hot". What she means is that she does not feel well. Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really
    like something. You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means
    ___________. 
         [4] A hot shot is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. He is very sure he
    can succeed. But often he fails. The expression was born in the military forces. A hot shot was a soldier
    who fired without aiming carefully.
         [5] Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. A person who becomes angry easily is
    called a hothead. An angry person's neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar.

         It is surprising that eating three meals a day-breakfast, lunch and dinner-has been a custom(习俗) only since 1890.  Before this time, people only had two meals a day-breakfast and dinner.  
         In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one's fast(随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had
    become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social(社会的)event.  It began at 10 a.m.  and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular.  It became,
    instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour.  By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m.  and became a family meal.
         Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a. m. Years later, it
    had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a
    recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙) between breakfast and dinner.

         How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain
    sounds，in one way or another，to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they
    could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be put
    together to show those sounds，and which could be written down.Those sounds，whether spoken or
    written in letters，are called words.
        The power of words，then，lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds.Words
    become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words bring
    back to us the happy and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the
    number of words that mean something to us increases.
        Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words
    which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary
    style(文体). Above all，the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which
    sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore
    learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly，or they will make our speech silly and
    common.

    1. We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.

    A. expressions     
    B. actions
    C. signs  
    D. sounds

    2. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

    A. The learning of new words.
    B. The importance of old words.
    C. The relation of human experience with words.
    D. The gradual change and development of words.

    3. In the last paragraph，what does the author suggest that we should do?

    A. Use words skilfully.
    B. Make musical speeches.
    C. Learn poems by heart.
    D. Associate with listeners.

         Easter(复活节) is still a great day for worship, randy in baskets and running around the yard finding
    eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
         And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some
    researchers found that rising temperatures arc having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in
    the US.
         Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower
    Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer - it lives on the islands! - but it is already
    severely affected by development and now by rising levels. According to the Center for Biological
    Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a
    0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.
         The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color
    from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from
    predators(捕食者).  As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more
    and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them
    an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of
    hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question.
    The National Wildlife   Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already
    markedly down.
         American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the firs' of these species to
    go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains
    west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher
    ground - but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife
    Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up.
         The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico,
    and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about
    700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle.
    Scientists are concerned about their populations.
         Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are
    believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development.
    Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo
    breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to
    escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
          All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.
    1 The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to_______.
    A. show the importance of Easter Day
    B. introduce the issue about bunnies
    C. remind people of Easter traditions  
    D. discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
    2. The word "culprit" ( Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to______.
    A. criminal
    B. judge
    C. victim
    D. producer
    3.According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily Uncovered by predators because they___.
    A. are exposed lo more skillful hunters
    B. have moved to habitats with fewer plants
    C. haven't adapted themselves to climate change
    D. can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
    4. The problem faced by volcano rabbets and rock rabbits is that________.
    A. both are affected by 1ess snow
    B. both are affected by rising sea levels
    C neither can find enough food 
    D. neither can migrate to higher places
    5 Which best describes the writer's tone in the postage?
    A. Approving.
    B. Concerned.
    C. Enthusiastic.
    D. Doubtful.

                                                                    Cape Verde
         Introduction
         Consisting of 10 main islands and eight smaller islets off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an
    archipelago with a lot to offer tourists, whether they are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, great
    surfing or a hiking trip in valcanic and mountainous landscape. Sal, the main tourist island, has wonderful
    sandy beaches to rival any in the world and also fantastic surfing and diving spots. With its warm climate
    all year round, wonderfully dirverse landscapes, friendly locals and great food and music, Cape Verde
    really is an attractive destination.
    1.                           
         With year round warmth and cold ocean currents helping to keep the temperatures from rising too
    high, Cape Verde has an attractive climate for torists, and the majority of visitors are Western Europeans.
    The people who go to Cape Verde for the beach life tend to be families, while it is quite a young,
    adventureseeking crowed that goes there for the diving or surfing.
    2.                          
         Cape Verde is located in the Atlantic Ocean some 500 km to the west of the Afican continent. Indeed, the name itself is taken from the name of that westernmost tip, which can be found on Senegal. The
    islands are divided into two groups-the Barlavento (windward islands) and the Sotavento (leeward
    islands).
    3.                           
         With warm sunny days year round there really is no bad time to go to Cape Verde. Some visitors
    might preder to visit in winter and spring when daytime temperatures are a couple of degrees cooler and
    rarely exceed 25°C.
    4.                           
         The resorts on Sal have plenty of facilities for families and the beaches by Santa Maria are great for
    kids, with their white, fine sand. On some of the islands it is possible to do a bit of bird and turtle
    spotting without intruding too much on their habitats, and on Sao Vicente and Santiago it is possible to
    go horse riding.
    5.                          
         On the islands public transport services are by minibuses or trucks. Taxis in central areas are cheap.
    Between the islands of Santiago, Sao Vicente and Sal there are flights at least once daily. Flights to the
    other islands are less frequent. TACV Cabo Verde Airlines (www.flytacv.com) is the main operator.
    There are regular ferry services between the islands, but departures are sometimes unpredictable.

         Tattoos and body piercings(穿孔)have moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western
    schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and "flesh ink"(纹身). As with all other subjects, the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children. To get a better view of what has
    happened in the West, 1et's sit down and hear what they say.
         Tiara from Indiana:  
         I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body,you
    would have been born with them. I do,however,think that ear piercing is not wrong. There is a difference
    between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if
    someone stuck a needle in my belly button.
         Lee from Illinois:
         Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider
    myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work.
    People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg. Most of them don't know what it is. They
    just think the work itself is great.
         Subotai from California:
         I'm not prohibitive(禁止)of self-expression,but when I see high school students getting these piercings,
    I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried
    piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow's.
         Jackson from Ohio:
         I don't think it is wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything-I think
    that's ridiculous. People who get the big "dragons that cover the whole body-I don't think that's necessary." When I see naked chicks on guys, I think, "You have no respect for women."

    A. Tiara might have body piercings
