阅读理解。     Once there was a young woman who didn"t like her job. Every day when she came home from work, she
told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. "Leave
that job," her husband told her.
     "Oh, I will," she said."But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave." And so she remained
unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children."Leave that job", her grandchildren told her."Oh, I will," she said."But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can"t just yet."
     I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store,
moaning and groaning in the sun."Why is your dog acting that way?" a customer asked the store owner." Oh",
answered the man,"He"s lying on a nail." "Well, why doesn"t he move?""Because it"s not hurting him bad
enough."
     That"s true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we
know. But we are wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills
our passion or destroys our dreams.
     Wilbur Wright once commented,"We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating
feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn"t wait to get back to work. And
people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too." They get excited about work.
     They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don"t change as they sometimes will, they
refuse to let environment hijack their self-esteem, passion or dreams. 1. The woman complained to her husband every day because_______. A. she didn"t have enough money to support her family
B. her boss criticized her for what she had done
C. she was not satisfied with her job at all
D. her work was difficult and her boss was cruel 2. The author mentioned the old dog in order to tell us that _______. A. it was deeply hurt by its owner
B. the woman is like the dog on the nail
C. it is tied firmly to a nail by its owner
D. it should be injured badly enough 3. The underlined word" Prolonged"( in Paragraph 4) means________. A. lasting
B. slight
C. serious
D. hard 4. People who are getting along well with their work ________. A. have to get up early every day
B. are not willing to go to work
C. need more unique gifts and talents
D. are likely to change with the situation

阅读理解。     Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of
locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to
stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can
catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. "We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the
locusts," said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal"s worst affected area .
    This is West Africa"s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to
crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the
northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already
suf-fering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are
not well equipped to fight the pest.
     Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough.
     "We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (***虫剂 ), but we need to treat 20,000
hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster," said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah,
director of locust control in Mauritania.
     Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN"s Food
and Agricul-ture Organization warned.1. By using " dark cloud" to describe locusts in the first para-graph, the author of the article ________. A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts
B. suggested the great damage that locusts can cause
C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
D. both A and B 2. The story is mainly about ______. A. West Africa"s united effort in fighting a disaster
B. the difficulty in controlling locusts
C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa 3. The locust disaster ______. A. would be even more serious in Asia
B. is (was)out of control
C. affected only the warning areas
D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas4. Which of the following is WRONG ? A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.
C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.
D. 12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.

The 16-year-old girl Jessica Watson is said to be the youngest person to sail non-stop alone around the world. But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old. Ms Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. Many more Australians watched the event broadcast live on television. Watson said she was just an"ordinary girl who believed in her dream". Ms Watson left Sydney on 18 October, despite that some people disagreed to her plan. Watson traveled northeast through the South Pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to Cape Horn at the tip of South America, across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and around southern Australia. The route took her through some of the world"s most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat. People around the world have followed Ms Watson"s adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). On her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. Ms Watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. She is planning to write a book on her experience.
1. Which of the following oceans didn"t Ms Watson cross through in her voyage?
A. The Pacific Ocean. B. The Arctic Ocean. C. The Indian Ocean. D. The Atlantic Ocean.
2. Ms Watson"s voyage will NOT be considered an official world record mainly because _______.
A. no one can prove that her route was dangerous enough B. she hasn"t applied for the record C. teenagers are not encouraged to take such a dangerous adventure D. girls are not allowed to take part in the dangerous sports
3. We can make a conclusion from this passage that Watson _______.
A. would make another voyage for money B. made the world round voyage for money C. had no way to communicate with others during the voyage. D. is so confident and brave that she could overcome troubles on her own
4. All the following can be inferred from this passage EXCEPT that _______.
A. her book about her voyage is a best seller B. people in Australia had much interest in her voyage C. she spent more than 200 days alone at sea D. people have different attitudes towards her voyage
