The largest animal ever to live on Earth is the blue whale（鯨魚）. It weighs(重) about 80 tons-more than 24 big elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A new baby whale weighs as much as a big elephant. Cats won't die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell off 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little. A bear can run as fast as a horse.  A new-born panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about 100 grams.  Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male（雄性） elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the female(雌性) elephant takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body. Usually, wolves do not hurt people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone a lot of money if he or she could show that a wolf could hurt a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves do not usually go together though（盡管） they may do this in winter and they only hurt people at an unusual time.
小題1:How much does a new-born blue whale weigh?
A．About 10 tonsB．As much as a baby elephant
C．About 80 tonsD．About 3 tons
小題2:A bear can run_______people think they can.

Does your school have any problems with discipline(紀(jì)律)? What happens when students step out of line?
Here are some examples of bad behaviour:
? Playing truant(逃學(xué)) (missing school without permission from parents).
? Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.
? Cheating on exams.
? Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.
? Not doing homework.
? Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.
? Wearing unsuitable clothes.
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:
? Exclusion（開除）: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.
? Suspension（停課）: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.
? Detention（拘留）: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.
? Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”
Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, _________when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.
Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.
Many UK schools now give parents a home&school contract（契約，合同）, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.         
小題1:The expression “step out of line” in Paragraph 1 probably means________
A．jump the queueB．break the discipline
C．be later for schoolD．fight with others.
小題2:What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To list common bad behavior in UK schools.
B．To show how UK schools deal with students’ parents.
C．To find out why more and more pupils break rules in UK schools.
D．To introduce how UK schools punish students with their discipline.
小題3:Which expression can be filled in the blank in the passage________.
A．covered the story
B．corrected her behavior
C．showed an interest
D．made the news
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Punishments in UK School
B．What is Bad Behavior?
C．UK School Discipline.
D．Too Many School Rules in the UK

信息歸納(本部分為5小題，每小題1分，共5分)
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There were no modern machines, either. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills fish and affects(影響) our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and louder. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It affects every living thing in the world.
The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid(避免) a serious worldwide water shortage later on. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. But even if we purified(凈化) and reused the water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do is to make use of the vast reserves(儲備) of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
Paper comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

Speak loud   When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports   Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself  Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done.
Get rid of (消除) fear  Fear comes along with failure. But it’s easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

Roosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(裝置). He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.
An electromagnetic field(電磁場) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.
Roosegaarde says, "It's like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(靜電) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair."
His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks.  Beijing's skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.
"Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there's not so much wind." says Roosegaarde. "We'll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, "This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. " However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.
小題1:The device works by_______.
A．helping keep the particles out with more masks
B．pulling particles to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C．a(chǎn)bsorbing hair with a balloon with static
D．creating clean air and letting it out into the sky
小題2:What does Roosegaarde use his device for?
A．To make smog.B．To make the air clean
C．To make static electricity.D．To make Beijing's parks beautiful.
小題3:After reading the passage, we can know_______.
A．the device doesn't work well indoors
B．the people with masks can breathe fresher air
C．Beijing government agreed to test the device
D．clean cars aren't helpful to the environment in Beijing
小題4:Roosegaarde hopes people in Beijing can_______.
A．pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B．invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C．drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D．realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “ Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr.Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing---it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho ha, ha, ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.
小題1:The first Laughter Club was started in __________.

小題2:How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today?

1970 was the World Conservation (保護) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments (政府) would act quickly in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problems. At one time there were 1 300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology (技術(shù)). We are changing the earth, the air, the water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves.

A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping save our world. They plant trees, protect wild animals, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the 11 kilometer-long banks of the river.
