阅读理解     This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
      Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a schoolmasterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion, reading doesn"t just mean
recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it
into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the
information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing
cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information
you have got from the text. I"ve seen it again and again:someone who can"t express an idea after reading
a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn"t read it at all.
     Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for
studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地)
and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion
(激情) regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher-if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his
students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment,
in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and
study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it"s commonly believed
that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning
French or mathematics.
     My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s-none of the
references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result, the discussion misses the entire
computer age.
     These are small points, though, and don"t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student
and any teacher, including the selftaught student.                  1. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.A. gain knowledge and expand one"s view
B. understand the meaning between the lines
C. express ideas based on what one has read
D. get information and keep it alive in memory2. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts____.A. requires great efforts
B. demands real passion
C. is less natural than learning maths
D. is as natural as learning a language3. What is a shortcoming of Armstrong"s work according to the author?A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.
B. There is too much discussion on studying science.
C. The style is too serious.
D. It lacks new information.4. This passage can be classified as________.A. an advertisement  
B. a book review
C. a feature story  
D. a news report

阅读理解     When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But
there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm.These
people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of
watching the storm close up.
     "Storm chasing (追逐)"is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the
United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July.A storm chaser begins the day
by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the
storm will be and waits for it to develop.
     Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous.The power of a big storm  can throw
a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds.Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents
caused by driving in a heavy rain.If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for
storm - chasing vacations during the storm season.
     Even then,storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement."Storm chasing is 95%driving,"says
Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm-chasing."Sometimes you
Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen,and all you get is blue sky and a few light
showers."
     However,for storm chasers,it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting
sight you will ever see in your life,"says Jasper Morley."Every storm is an example of the power of
nature.It is the greatest show on Earth."1. For storm chasing,the first thing storm chasers do is to _____.A. head straight for the center of the storm    
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm       2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____.A. not to drive in a heavy rain    
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm  
D. to spend more time on it in summer3. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph,the author means that  _____.A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth4. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.  
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people

     Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before
it can fly, flies like a fat chicken,eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws
on its wings when young.They build their homes about 4.6 m above the river, an important
feature (特征) for the safety of the young.It is called the hoatzin.
     In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back
and cream and red on the underside.The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the
top,bright red eyes, and blue skin.Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos.Its
most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.
     Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of
each wing tip.Using these four claws,together with the beak(喙),they can climb about in the
bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done.The hoatzins, however, live
in the modern world.
     During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in
groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April,when the rainy season begins, they collect together in
smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
     When danger comes in the form of a snake or a monkey, the young hoatzins-maybe
three in one family-jump over the side and into the river.They swim about under the water
until it is safe to return and then, using their claws, lift themselves up through the branches
and get back home.When they have learned to fly they lose their claws and escape enemies
not by swimming but by flying off, in a slow and heavy way, to a neighbouring tree.


1.What is the text mainly about?A.Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.
B.The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.
C.Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.
D.The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.2.Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that________.A.they look like young cuckoos
B.they have claws on the wings
C.they eat a lot like a cow
D.they live on river banks3.What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?A.They had claws to help them climb.
B.They could fly long distances.
C.They had four wings like hoatzins.
D.They had a head with long feathers on the top.4.Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?A.To find more food.
B.To protect themselves better.
C.To keep themselves warm.
D.To produce their young.

     The host will provide accommodation and meals.Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers
changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to
offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
     Accommodation Zones
     Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system.
Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and

                                                                 Humpback whales




     Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean.This is because they can make
impressive movements when they dive.The name “humpback”, which is the common name for this whale,
refers to the typical curve shape the whale"s back forms as it dives.
     Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach.During breaching
the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly twothirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap.A
breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the
height of the breach.
     A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located
near the top of the head.It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 metres above the water.
     The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about twothirds of the way down
its back.Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body
length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes.These markings are like finger
prints: no two are the same.
     Humpback whales live in large groups.They communicate with each other through complex “songs”
