If you love books, then“Three Cups of Tea”will be your favorite. It will take you on an adventure（冒險(xiǎn)）to one of the highest mountains in the world. You will learn how the people and children there lived and how the writer, Greg Mortenson , helped build an education system.
While climbing K2 in Pakistan, one of the world’s most difficult mountains to climb, Greg Mortenson became ill and got lost. He got help in a small village. The people of the village took good care of him, feeding him and letting him sleep in a villager’s house. They also gave him their best food: sweet tea.
When Mortenson was fine, he found that the children of the village worked and studied outdoors. Their teacher came only three times a week and they didn’t have blackboards. They used sticks（枝條）to write on the ground.
The day he left the village, he told them he would come back and build a school. His school would have both boys and girls. Later on, he came back and helped build a school, so the kids were able to study in the classroom with real writing instruments.
That was in 1993. Today Mortenson is going to build 80 schools in Central Asia. He started a foundation（基金）called the Central Asia Institute to raise money for these schools. He has helped more than 18,000 girls receive education so far.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.
小題1:The passage mainly tells us                  .
A．two important ways to keep safe in carsB．how air bags work to make cars safe
C．how seat belts work to make cars safeD．why we must tie the egg to the skateboard
小題2:The writer gives the example of the egg to _.
A．tell us that eggs are easy to break
B．show how to wear a seat belt
C．show why it's important to wear a seat belt in a car
D．tell us what a skateboard is
小題3:Seat belts can make us safer because .
A．we are interested in them
B．they can stop us from hitting other cars
C．they can help us stay safely on the seats
D．they are made of strong materials
小題4:Air bags are important for cars because _.
A．they are made of plastic
B．they can also help us to keep safe in a car
C．they can keep cars running slowly
D．they are put in front of and next to the seats
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A．It won't be dangerous if there are seat belts or air bags in a car.
B．Now most of new cars still have only one air bag.
C．When a car hits something, its air bags will come out a few minutes later.
D．Volvo was the first to use seat belts.

Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.
　　While we’re all born with SQ, most of us even don’t know that we have it.  Luckily, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加強(qiáng)) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
　　Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （獨(dú)處） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
　　Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
　　Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
　　Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (經(jīng)文). Others ask open-ended (無確定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.
　　Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直覺) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （漸漸推動(dòng)） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.　　
小題1:To enhance your SQ, you should first _______________.
A．stand loneliness and silence
B．make your life simpler and less busy
C．give up the daily things in your life
D．listen more to your whisper
小題2:The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________________.
A．get your spirit relaxedB．keep up your spirit
C．listen to your spiritD．change your spirit
小題3: What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?
A．People will lead to a greater good.
B．People will think about a problem in a different way.
C．People will expect answers through e-mails.
D．People will keep away from their busy life.
小題4: What is the best title for the passage?
A．Advantages and disadvantages of SQ
B．The relationship between your SQ and you
C．What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved
D．What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier

One of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues which stand on Easter Island. Easter Island, which was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, is the most distant island in the world covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.
Who built these statues and why and how did they get there? Nobody knows the answer for sure.
One theory suggests that Easter Island was first inhabited by Polynesians, who traveled thousands of miles in their canoes（獨(dú)木舟）in 400 A.D. However, the ocean currents（洋流）which carried them there would not take them back, so that they could not leave.
The statues appear to have been made out of the top edge of the walls of a volcano on the island. Then, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the foot of the volcano(火山). Then, it was stood upright（直立）and ropes were tied around it, which was made to act as a pulley（滑輪）. Over a period of months, a statue could be walked for miles down to the ocean. Finally, it was placed in line with other statues, all of them looking towards the center of the island.
This process was difficult. If a statue fell over, it was too heavy to be pulled upright again, so the islanders went back and carved another statue.
The population of Easter Island must have reached 11,000. Later, the resources of the island were used up and people began fighting and eating each other. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of these people had died out.
小題1:This passage is mainly about ________ .
A．the discovery of Easter IslandB．the statues on Easter Island
C．the history of Easter IslandersD．the earliest population on Easter Island
小題2: Which of the following correctly tells of the possible working process after a statue was made?
a. It was stood upright and ropes were tied around it.
b. It was walked for miles down to the ocean.
c. It was placed in line with other statues.
d. It was moved to the foot of the volcano.
A．c-d-a-bB．d-b-a-cC．a(chǎn)-c-b-dD．d-a-b-c
小題3: It’s not a fact that ________ .
A．Easter Island is the most distant island in the world
B．Easter is the name of a holiday
C．not all the statues were placed in a line
D．the island was once rich in natural resources

Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone.
And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
小題1:Most stars are _________________________.
A．following a regular path in space
B．moving about without a fixed course
C．seldom wandering about in the universe
D．a(chǎn)lways travelling together
小題2:Some two thousand years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _____________.
A．the star moved away from the sun
B．a(chǎn)nother star happened to come near the sun
C．the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth
D．a(chǎn) large tidal of wave travelled over the surface of the sun
小題3:The article suggests that _______________.
A．how space formed
B．our earth exists before the sun
C．no one knows where the earth comes from
D．our earth used to be a high mountain in the sun
小題4:The expression “the cause of the disturbance” refers to ________.
A．the large tidal waveB．the powerful tidal pull
C．the star coming near the sunD．one of sun’s planets
小題5: In the article, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______________.
A．where the planets in the universe came from
B．how the high mountains were formed on the sun
C．that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it
D．why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful

If you ask your parents: “Did you buy salt recently?” They might either say: “Yes, we bought more salt than usual”, or “No, we couldn’t find any in the market.”
This is because of the recent craze(狂熱) of salt buying in China. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.
After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(傳言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(輻射)；second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.
Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didn’t really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.
On March 20, the government said the salt market is back to normal. And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.
Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their money back,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”
Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything you hear.
小題1:The recent craze of salt buying in China happened because of ________.
A. the earthquake          
B. the rumors              
C. the shortage(缺乏) of salt
小題2:When did the rumors start?

A. lakes                    B. the ocean                C. rivers
小題4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
