阅读理解。     Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it"s cold
outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?
     If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant.
The first blind man who felt the elephant"s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant"s
side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal"s tusk. The fourth,
who got hold of the elephant"s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he
put his arms around one of the elephant"s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant"s ears,
said it was like a huge fan.
     Each man"s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a
"simple fact", it"s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
     To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a "simple fact", try this simple
experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in
the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds,
put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell
you it"s hot! 1. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.
B. The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.
C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.
D. The fact that it"s hard to make up one"s mind about simple facts. 2. Which of the following temperatures can the word "lukewarm"be applied to? A. Around 1℃
B. Above 60℃
C. Around 25℃
D. Below 0℃ 3. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of _____. A. Newton"s law
B. Galileo"s theory of falling objects
C. Einstein"s theory of relativity
D. Marx"s On Capital 4. The main idea of this passage is _____. A. people often judge something according to his own experience
B. people often agree about simple facts
C. it"s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact
D. don"t care too much about simple facts

阅读理解。     Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime.
More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at
Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
     Some people might say, "We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges." But Malaak
Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, "Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges
than you do." She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they
can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick
kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of
Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.
     "Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs." Says
Compton-Rock. "We want them to live a life of purpose and service."
    In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a
child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens,
cared for babies and bought groceries.
     "The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been
abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS," says Queen Clyde, 12. "It"s been good to be
on this trip. But what"s also important is what we do when it"s finished. That"s what counts." " I never
appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing," says Sadara Lewis, 12 "It"s really changed
my attitude. I want to make a difference."
     The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their
experience, fund-raising and more.1. What"s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City.
B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government.
C. It is children who suffer most in New York City.
D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation. 2. In Compton-Rock"s opinion, the Bushwick kids _____. A. have few challenges
B. are living much better than people in Africa
C. can learn to deal with their own problems by helping others
D. should be kept out of schools 3. Compared to Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto _____. A. may have bigger challenges
B. receive no care from the government
C. are much more independent
D. are able to lead the family 4. According to the passage, "Journey for Change" can be best seen as the saying "_____". A. God helps those who help themselves
B. saying and doing are two things
C. one stone kills two birds
D. a friend in need is a friend indeed 5. From the passage we know that _____. A. there are few students in Bushwick High School
B. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time
C. most children are suffering from AIDS in Soweto
D. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto

阅读理解。
One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo (竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down. When I think about the bamboo tree"s ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience (恢复力) comes to mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person"s emotions. Have you ever felt like you are about to snap (突然折断)? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it. 　　 During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured (忍耐) unpleasant physical symptoms (症状). 　　 Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don"t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. 　　 If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don"t break!
1. When the writer talks about the bamboo trees, he wants to tell us _____.
A. he can"t forget those bamboo trees B. he used to watch them bend under pressure and return to their upright position C. he still remembers the good days as a child D. he admires the character of the bamboo trees
2. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. When you have overcome some depression, you show resilience. B. When you are about to snap, we say you are resilient. C. If you feel like you are at your breaking point, you are fortunate. D. If you feel mentally exhausted, you are likely to experience pleasant physical symptoms.
3. What does the writer mean by saying"Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you?"
A. You should make the best of the situation. B. You should try your best to get the best situation. C. You should try your best not to be defeated by the situation. D. You should try your best not to give up the best situation.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My fondest memories B. Good times and bad times C. Enjoy the peace and quiet D. Bend, but don"t break
阅读理解。 It is well known that the Japanese people"s love of fish is almost as a bee"s interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge－how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者), the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge. Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask "What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge?" May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation. Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem?Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don"t sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active alert (警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged. Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.
1. The main reason for the fishing company to fish in the far sea is that _____.
A. the fish resource near the shore was decreasing B. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresher C. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh ones D. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh
2. The relationship between fishes and sharks is similar to that between _____ in nature.
A. dogs and cats B. monkeys and mosquitoes C. wolves and antelopes D. children and lions
3. The underlined part of the last paragraph means " _____."
A. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies did B. Try to find a big shark and you will meet your challenge C. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challenges D. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people"s life
4. The purpose for the author to write the passage is to _____.
A. tell the readers "no pains, no gains" B. tell the readers how the Japanese keep the fish fresh C. suggest readers looking for challenges to make progress D. advise readers to find something difficult to do
