It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other parts.
　　The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the sun’s necessary life-giving rays.
　　And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(絕望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.
小題1:The first paragraph tells us that _____.
A．a(chǎn)ll living things in nature depend on each other
B．everything in nature can’t exist without the help of man
C．man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long time
D．no living thing can live naturally
小題2:In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _____.
A．a(chǎn)ll forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one another
B．it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of nature
C．there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change
D．we can’t change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature
小題3:The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益) _____.
A．man is always anxious to control his activities within limits
B．man is always too eager in planning for distant future
C．man often fails to think about their future results of his action
D．man often feels that he will have to give up in despair
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.
B．Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action.
C．Oxygen comes from forests.
D．The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.

Have you ever thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?”or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an actor. Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s not necessary for you to understand everything. But please remember that at school,besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.
First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find what you like and what you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future.
Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems.At school, you should practice your brain by thinking.
Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn French at school, but you don’t need to speak French at all.But learning French can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a good job well. At school I learned French well, and now I must be able to learn German. But if you have no confidence, what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because it is hard for us to get the highest mark. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greater progress.
小題1:At school you should             .
A．stop learning the subjects you don’t like

Since ancient times, people have known about its ability to reduce pain and high body temperature. More than 2000 years ago, the Greek doctor Hippocrates advised his patients to chew on the bark and leaves of the willow.
The tree contains a chemical called salicin（柳醇）. From salicin, researchers in the 1800s discovered how to make salicylic acid（酸）. And in 1897, a chemist named Felix Hoffmann at Friedrich Bayer and Company in Germany created acetyl salicylic acid. Later it became the active substance in a new medicine that Bayer called aspirin. The "a" came from acetyl. The "spir" came from the spirea plant, which also produces salicin. And the "in" Well, that is a common way to end medicine names.
In 1982, a British scientist shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in part for discovering how aspirin works. Sir John Vane found that aspirin blocks the body from making natural substances called prostaglandins（前列腺素）.Prostaglandins have several effects on the body. Some cause pain and the expansion, or swelling（ 腫瘤; 膨脹）, of damaged tissue. Others protect the lining of the stomach and small intestine. Prostaglandins also make the heart, kidneys and blood vessels （血管）work well. But there is a problem. Aspirin works against all prostaglandins, good and bad. Scientists learned how aspirin interferes with an enzyme（酶）. One form of this enzyme makes the prostaglandin that causes pain and swelling. Another form of the enzyme creates a protective effect. So aspirin can reduce pain and swelling in damaged tissues. But it can also harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine（腸）.
小題1:What sickness can the medicine from the willow deal with according to the passage?
A．ColdB．ToothacheC．CancerD．Skin disease
小題2:What can we know about Prostaglandin according to the passage?
A．It results from pain.
B．It prevents the lining of the stomach and small intestine.
C．It causes blood vessels to work wrongly.
D．It is sometimes good but sometimes bad.
小題3:What can we know about aspirin according to the passage?
A．Aspirin can treat almost diseases.
B．Aspirin can create the protective enzyme.
C．Aspirin can harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine.
D．Aspirin can protect the inside of the stomach and small intestine.

The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.
Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龜) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.
Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.
With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.
Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:
· the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and
· the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.
The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international lever. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.
小題1:What is the main topic of the text?
A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals.
B．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.
C．The actions required to save migrating animals.
D．The need for government policies to prevent global warming.
小題2:By saying "the clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_______”.
A．it may be too late to save some animals
B．it is time to start protecting the animals
C．there is not much time to solve the problem
D．it takes time to complete the actions
小題3:According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?
A．They will only produce female babies.
B．Their food supply will gradually disappear.
C．Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer.
D．They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms.
小題4:Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?
A．More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.
B．20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.
C．Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.
D．Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.
小題5:What can be inferred (推斷) about turtles from the text?
A．They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer.
B．They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean-based animals.
C．Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female.
D．Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years.

What would you do if Martians (火星人) kidnapped (綁架) your mom? In the 3-D animated movie Mars Needs Moms, a young boy named Milo finds himself in this exact difficult situation. The aliens want to steal Milo’s mother’s “momness” for their own young. Now it’s up to the 9-year-old to get his mom back before she is lost forever.
Every good action movie has a bad guy. The villain (反派角色) in this film is the Martian Supervisor, played by Mindy Sterling. The Supervisor has an icy cold heart. Remarkably, Sterling acted out almost all of her scenes in a special Martian language created just for the movie. “Learning Martian was a piece of cake,” Sterling said. “There wasn’t too much to learn; sometimes, I just made it up!”
Anyone who has a mother will be moved by this movie. In fact, anyone who loves someone will be moved by this movie. Maybe it is because the story was inspired by a real-life event. The movie is based on a novel by prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed. He wrote the book after a dinner-table incident between his wife and son, who was then 4 years old. That night, Breathed’s son had thrown his broccoli into the air and rushed out of the room angrily, yelling at his mother on the way out. Breathed told his son, “You might think differently about your mom if she were kidnapped by Martians.” He wrote the novel that same evening.
All kids get into arguments with their parents. The fights may be about homework, chores or eating vegetables. Mars Needs Moms tells us to look past these silly disagreements and to remember the importance of family and the things that really matter.
小題1:In the movie Mars Needs Moms the aliens want to _____.
A．kill Milo’s mother
B．take Milo as their kid
C．make Milo’s mother their kids’ mom

小題3:What made Breathed write the novel?

D．His son’s bad behavior toward his mother.
小題4:In the last paragraph the author wants to _____.
