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
B．both get knowledge and improve your ability
C．pay more attention to math and French
D．learn French instead of English
小題2:Math can improve one’s           .
A．logical thinking ability
B．skills in computer
C．interest in other subjects
D．a(chǎn)bility of finding a job

A．You will use everything you learn at school in your future job.
B．It’s not necessary to know what you like at school.
C．Everything you learn at school has an influence on you.
D．Logical thinking ability is the most important ability.
小題4:Learning French can help us            .
A．have confidence in learning languages
B．go to France
C．get a good result in the exam
D．make greater progress
小題5:The last paragraph tells us that             .
A．everyone loves to play computer games
B．it is not easy to get high marks in computer games
C．we should do some very different things
D．we should challenge

Hi！Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感覺知覺).
　　ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
　　Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
　　There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
　　A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."
　　Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
　　Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
小題1:According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ________.
A．in existence B．imaginative C．not real D．impossible

A．a(chǎn)bout events before they happen
B．a(chǎn)bout events after they happen
C．a(chǎn)bout events that are happening some distance away
D．A and C
小題3:In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means _______.
A．things that may not happen
B．things that happen in a dream
C．things that must happen
D．things that happen by accident
小題4:This article is mainly about ________.
A．the human dreamB．the sixth sense
C．the human mind D．a(chǎn) crowded bus

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
Grimsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(層)of water between the glacier and the volcano This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable, As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava(巖漿) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.
Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. according to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告)．But in the executive circle，beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly，though，the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able？An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子氣概的)than the less attractive ones. Thus，an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.
This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks，people treat men and women differently，”says Anne Bowman，who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men，but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
小題1:The underlined word “l(fā)iability”(in Para.1)most probably means “________”．
A．misfortuneB．instabilityC．disadvantageD．burden
小題2:In traditionally female jobs，attractiveness________.
A．reinforces(加強)the feminine qualities required
B．makes women look more honest and capable
C．is of primary importance to women
D．often enables women to succeed quickly
小題3:Bowman's experiment reveals that when it comes to politics，attractiveness________.
A．turns out to be an obstacle to men
B．a(chǎn)ffects men and women alike
C．has as little effect on men as on women
D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often________.
A．practicalB．prejudicedC．old­fashionedD．pessimistic
小題5:The author writes this passage to________.
A．demand equal rights for women
B．emphasize the importance of appearance
C．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
D．give advice to job­seekers who are attractive

Scientists in Canada say big ocean fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of industrial fishing in the nineteen-fifties. The scientists found that population of large fish like tuna; swordfish and cod have dropped by ninety percent in the past fifty years.
The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.
The scientists say the common method called longline fishing is especially damaging to populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be close to one-hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish.
Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one-hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years.
Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with Boris Worm of Dalhousie and the University of Kiel in Germany. Mister Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete re-organization of ocean life systems. Mister Meyers says the decreased number of large fish is not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors(祖先). He says not only are there fewer big fish, they are smaller than those of the past.
American government scientists say even with the best efforts to protect fish populations, decreases are to be expected.
小題1:Where is the passage probably taken from?
A．A story book.
B．A business magazine.
C．An environment report.
D．An economic survey.
小題2:Big fish have gradually been disappearing especially because ________.
A．longline fishing method is used
B．sea water is getting polluted
C．mankind destroys the environment
D．governments don’t make the best efforts
小題3:Which of the following shows the fact that the populations of large fish have dropped?
A．Today’s “l(fā)arge”fish are smaller than those of the past.
B．Longline boats now might catch fewer fish every one-hundred hooks.
C．Fish even able to reproduce don’t have the chance to live longer.
D．Japanese boats could catch about ten fish for every 100 hooks.
小題4:What can be the best title?
A．Discoveries Canadian Scientists Have Made
B．Japanese Fishing Industry
C．Losses of Big Fish
D．Modern Fishing Methods
小題5:When did the researchers begin to survey the decreasing of large fish?
A．In the 1960s.B．In the 1970s.C．In the 1980s.D．In the 1990s.

Water, which covers about 74 percent of the earth’s surface, is man’s most precious resource. Without it we cannot live. Clean water keeps us alive; polluted water means disease and death.Keeping our water pure is by no means an easy task but it is something that must be done.
Hong Kong once prided herself on being the “Fragrant Harbour”. However, these days, it is not certain if Hong Kong’s harbour could still be called “fragrant”. For, like many other places, Hong Kong has not been spared water pollution. A visit to Tolo and Victoria Harbour, or any of the beaches in Hong Kong is enough to make one aware of the ugly truth that Hong Kong waters are indeed polluted.
The great threat to our water is bacteria pollution. Another great source of water pollution is poisonous chemicals. These substances, which are found in industrial waste and agricultural pesticides, make up unseen dangers that enter biological food chains.
Pollution control is a continuing problem for the government. It is believed that the most effective form of control is legislation（立法）. Most importantly, the present laws on pollution should be given more force. On the other hand, no amount of legislation can effectively control pollution unless those concerned are properly educated about the danger posed by pollution.
While a great majority of Hong Kong citizens and residents seem to be greatly concerned about ways to control water pollution, it is discouraging to note that there are, in our midst, some people who remain apathetic（無動于衷）about the problem. In a recent radio programme conducted on what people in the streets thought about the water pollution problem, one apparently unconcerned person said, “What do I care about water pollution? I don’t drink polluted water. As long as the water I drink is not polluted, I’m not bothered. Water pollution is too big a problem and let’s leave it to the government.”
If all residents in Hong Kong will take such an indifferent attitude, all the government’s attempts to control pollution, let alone the anti-pollution legislation, will prove useless. The best form of pollution control each citizen can employ is to be aware of his surroundings. We hope that someday, the problem of water pollution in Hong Kong will cease to alarm us.
小題1:By the underlined sentences, the writer wants to show that ______.
A．we should not use polluted water
B．it is our responsibility to keep our water clean and safe
C．clean water is vitally important to the survival of human beings
D．water is abundant but very expensive
小題2:What can you infer from the second paragraph?
A．Hong Kong indeed deserves the name.
B．Hong Kong never deserves such a name.
C．Hong Kong can’t avoid the damage of pollution.
D．Hong Kong has failed to live up to such reputation.
小題3:The writer quotes the words in the programme to show us that a block to the solution of the problem is _________.
A．people’s lack of education
B．people’s I-don’t-care attitude
C．people’s wait-and-see attitude
D．people’s over-dependence on the government
小題4:In the final analysis, the best approach to the problem of water pollution is ________.
A．legislation
B．rapid development of modern science
C．mass education
D．everybody taking care of his own surroundings

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.
