Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth!
The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.
Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, the mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(濕氣) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).
Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從每小題A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出一個(gè)最佳答案。
There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks (塊) of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.
The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has 12 rooms. A single room costs＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick the walls－it doesn’t taste good!”
小題1:People can go to __________ to visit the ice hotel in April.
A. Greenland             B. Turkey               C. Bolivia
小題2:The Salt Palace Hotel is unusual because __________.
A. it has a long history

小題3:Where did the salt used for the hotel come from?
A. A salt factory.           B. The desert.              C. The lakes.
小題4:The underlined word “l(fā)ick” means __________ in Chinese.

小題5:The best title for the passage is _________.
A. Unusual Hotels           B. Salt Desert              C. A Story of Juan Quesad

Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, but sometimes, you hide(隱藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(擁抱); go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don’t let your anger control you.
小題1:You may not get angry when ____.
A．there is too much homework on this weekend
B．your favorite basketball team wins the game
C．a(chǎn) friend breaks your favorite thing
D．your parents don’t let you watch TV
小題2: ____ shows that you’re not angry.
A．Taking a faster breathB．Getting a headache
C．Getting a stomachacheD．Wanting to protect someone
小題3:According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry except(除了) ____.
A．go for a bike ride
B．think about good things
C．talk to a good friend
D．say bad things to the people around you
小題4:The underlined word “control” in the last paragraph means____ in Chinese.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement(通告) board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking(尋找) workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist(網(wǎng)站名)Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin（奧斯丁 (美國得克薩斯州首府)） can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (職業(yè)) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts(專家) also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources(對策) to help them find the right job.

  Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潛力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ----between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. 
小題1:. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is 　　　　　　　　　.
A．童年時(shí)期B．嬰幼兒時(shí)期C．習(xí)慣養(yǎng)成期D．生長發(fā)育期
小題2: If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _____.
A．you should have enough exerciseB．you can ask doctors for help
C．you should save the environmentD．You can record your growth during puberty
小題3: This passage is mainly about 　　　　　　　　　.
A．how the genes work in your bodyB．when is the time you grow fast
C．why you look like your parentsD．how you grow to a certain height
小題4: After reading this passage, we can explain 　　　　　　　　　.
A．how good it is to be a doctorB．how much sleep time we need
C．why genes can’t decide everythingD．what healthy diet is
小題5: Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.
B．Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
C．The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.
D．You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)內(nèi)容判斷正誤。正確的選“A”，錯(cuò)誤的選“B”
Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal(釋放) their souls（靈魂）. Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暫停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers.
Recent surveys found that nearly one fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging.
In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret(后悔) later. To reduce the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.
小題1:      Blogs are the place where people go online to express themselves freely.
小題2:     The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that people should not put their life online. 

20070212

 
小題3:      The underline word “rational” in the fifth paragraph probably means reasonable（合理的）.

小題4:     The passage is mainly about advantages and disadvantages of blogs.
小題5:     Recent surveys found that over 50％ of teens who have access to the Web have their    own blogs.
