阅读理解。 In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in
the past. New medicines and machines are developing every day to extend life. However, some people,
including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they say that people should
have the right (权利) to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself,
and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They
say that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others
don"t agree and say that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always
to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite (明确的) answer. 1. The best title for this passage is _______.

[ ]

A. The Right to Live
B. The Right to Die
C. The Doctor"s Duty

阅读理解。     It was reported that over 300 million people in China were suffering from short-sightedness
(近视眼).
     As more children suffer from eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease with medicine
equipment by correcting the way children eat and sit. But in fact the cure given to one"s eyes should
start with the exercise on one"s feet. Three methods to protect eyes are as follows.
    Firstly, don"t fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loose socks or walking bare-footed (赤脚)
at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes.
     Secondly, walking on tiptoes (踮着脚) can help improve one"s eyesight and prevent short-sightedness.
It"s said that few ballet performers are short-sighted.
     Thirdly, rope skipping is good for one"s eyesight. When skipping, one has to react quickly, which
excites the brain as well as the eyes. It may also help make one grow taller.
     Besides foot exercise, it is good to pull one"s ears. Pulling the ear 20 times is a good way to reduce
the pressure on one"s eyes. 1. What"s the best way to protect one"s eyes? [     ]
A. Curing the disease with medicine.
B. Using the equipment to correct the way children read and sit.
C. Starting with the exercise on one"s feet.
D. Taking showers very often. 2. The undeline word "tightly" means ______ in Chinese. [     ]

阅读理解。     Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals
lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water
is polluted. It is in a colour of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
     How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains,
water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all round Lake Ponkapog, so the
rainwater was clean.
    Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use the chemicals (化学制品) in their gardens.
They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects. There are also many businesses.
Businesses use chemicals in their machines of shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or
trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from home and businesses and then carries
them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
     Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats (汽船). But oil and
gas (汽油) from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
     People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake
must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about
chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on
the ground. And they mustn"t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people"s lives. Only
then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again. 1. In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ______. [     ]
A. forests
B. rain
C. birds
D. fish 2. Chemicals from homes and businesses ______. [     ]
A. are always clean
B. can help the animals
C. are good for the lake
D. get into the rainwater 3. Cleaner rainwater will mean ______. [     ]
A. more boats on the lake
B. more dirty things in the lake
C. a cleaner lake
D. a dirty lake 4. To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ______. [     ]
A. be more careful about chemicals
B. use the water
C. grow fewer plants in the gardens
D. use more motorboats on the lake 5. The passage is about ______. [     ]
A. boats on the Lake Pankapog
B. why the water is dirty in Lake Ponkapog
C. clean rainwater
D. dirty lakes

laugh hard, tears will also come down from your eyes. But tears have a more important job than showing

eyes also need tears to keep them wet. And eyes must be wet so that they can move smoothly. Your eyes
are busy looking here and there all day long. They move quickly from one thing to another. If you didn"t
have tears, your eyes couldn"t move, and soon you would be blind. Maybe you don"t like tears, but your
eyes can"t do without them. 1. The story tells us ____.

阅读理解。     If you don"t keep yourself warm enough, winter can be a time of illness.
     During the winter months, people easily get colds and flu (流感). Many think they are the same, but
these two illnesses are different.
     Colds can stay with you for up to a week. You will have a running nose, sore throat, headache, cough
and a fever.
     Flu is more serious. You will feel sick very quickly. You will have a fever and a headache. Your body
will hurt and become weak. This could last for up to four weeks.
     Is there any way to keep yourself away from colds and flu? Staying clear of people with colds or flu
may work.
     Try not to touch (触摸) your nose or eyes if you have been close to someone who has a cold. Wash
your hands, especially after cleaning your nose.
     Going out with wet hair can also give you a cold!
    If you catch a cold or flu, go to bed and rest. Doing this will help you get better. Drink lots of water.
Stay in a warm, well-aired room. If you have a headache, or your muscles hurt, take some medicine. 1. 阅读上面的短文，根据短文内容帮助Mary完成下面的一封信。
