Brighton is in the county of East Sussex, on the South coast of England. Situated between the English Channel and the South Downs, Brighton is 90 km from London.

If your cellphone suddenly stops working, don’t blame the service provider.The malfunction(故障) might well have been caused by something bigger -- a solar storm.Experts expect that Earth will see more solar activity in the near future.The malfunction of electronic devices will just one of the effects.
Sunspots(太陽(yáng)黑子) serve as an indicator of the sun’s activity.For the past two years, sunspots have mostly been missing.Their absence, the most prolonged in nearly 100 years, has taken even seasoned sun watchers by surprise.
When the number of sunspots drops at the end of each 11-year cycle, solar storms die down and all become much calmer. This “solar minimum” doesn’t last long. Within a year, sunspots and solar storms begin to build toward a new crescendo, the next solar maximum.
What’s special about this latest cycle is that the sun is having trouble starting the next solar cycle. The sun began to calm down in late 2007, so no one expected many sunspots in 2008. They should return in 2010. Scientists have predicted that the next solar cycle could be the most active on record: more sunspots and more solar storms. However, sunspots are mostly missing now.
Since the earth is in close contact with the sun, strong solar activities can bring trouble to our life. People of the 21st century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. Air travel and radio communications can be affected by strong solar activities. A big solar storm could cause 20 times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina.
What the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict. Most astronomers think that the solar cycle will go on but at low level. However, there is also evidence that the sun is losing its ability to produce sunspots. By 2015, they could be gone altogether.
小題1:The sun watcher feel surprised at            .
A.the longest sunspots’ absenceB.the largest sunspot number
C.the malfunction of electronic devicesD.the serious damage by sunspots
小題2:What does the underlined word “crescendo” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.small number B.high level
C.usual cycleD.fresh start
小題3:We can infer that in the past two years         .
A.solar activities have brought much trouble to our life
B.the number of sunspots has increased to a large extent
C.the solar minimum took the place of the solar maximum
D.our cellphones have seldom been interrupted by the solar storm
小題4:Which statement does the text lead you to believe?
A.Solar activities do no harm to our daily life.
B.Hurricane Katrina is also a type of solar storms.
C.It’s difficult to predict sunspots.
D.From now on there’ re no sunspots.
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The earth is in close contact with the sun.
B.Sunspots can cause trouble to our life.
C.Introduction of sunspots.
D.Introduction of the solar storm.

Recreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and it's sending guys like Tim Kovar to far off reaches of the globe. Kovar, a tree-climbing instructor, recently returned to the U.S. from Brazil, where he spent time developing a tree-climbing operation thanks to the "slow travel" movement.
Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cooking—the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy. Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a place's natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games.
"Tree climbing is a slow activity," says Kovar. "It's not something you do quickly and then you're on to the next thing or event." There is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners. This wasn't a race against the clock or the fellow climbers. In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games. Many climbers refuse competition. There has already been so much competition in the world.
"When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing," Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michael's Triumph, a 150-foot-tall tree. But reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling. Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michael's Triumph for permission to climb. "It goes a lot smoother that way, "She says.
And climbing has been included into many educational programs. New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where "we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students," says New Tribe present Sophis Sparks. "We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees. After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation. This is not just to preserve their playground."
Perhaps that is why he struggles with the term "recreational tree climbing," saying, "I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing."
小題1:What do slow travel and the slow food movement have in common?
A.They take people a long time.B.They are related to the eco-tourism industry.
C.They advocate protecting nature.D.They cost people little money
小題2:What do we know about tree climbing from the passage?
A.People compete to see who can climb to the top first.
B.It favors the experience of enjoying nature.
C.It is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort.
D.People view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest.
小題3:Brumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to ___________________.
A.beg for the safety of climbingB.Expect to climb faster than her husband
C.Show respect for the treeD.a(chǎn)sk for permission of her husband
小題4:Sophia Sparks prefers the term "inspirational tree climbing" because it ____________.
A.provide people with more chances to play outside
B.bring a lot of pleasure to life
C.Deepens personal love between each other
D.Makes people realize they should protect trees
小題5:What's the best title for the passage?
A.Tree-climbing travellingB.Slow travel movements
C.Dangers of climbingD.Respect for nature

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略,好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(順從).
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
小題1:The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.earlyB.mostlyC.quicklyD.smoothly
小題2:Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.
A.they are cold to each other
B.they look away from each other
C.they misunderstand each other’s body languages
D.they are introduced at an early age
小題3: What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A.They eat and sleep together.
B.They watch each other’s behaviors.
C.They learn to speak each other’s language.
D.They know something from each other’s voices.
小題4:It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A.have common interestsB.a(chǎn)re less different than was thought
C.have a common body languageD.a(chǎn)re not so smart as was expected
小題5: What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A.We should learn to get along well with others
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should live in peace with animals.
D.We should learn more body languages.

When Harvard was founded in 1636, there were no other colleges in the American colonies, and it would become the model for many of those that followed. When it began requiring applicants to take a test known as the SAT in 1935, Harvard started another trend. Two years ago, after it announced an aggressive new financial-aid policy, it helped push social class to the center of the national debate over higher education and forced two of its main competitors, Stanford and Yale, to follow its lead.
Last week. Harvard began to make another effort to affect higher education in its image, its president, Derek Bok, announced that the college would abandon its early admissions program, which for decades has allowed high school seniors to apply in October and get an answer yes, no or maybe – in December, shortly before the regular deadline for applications.
Harvard officials argue that the program is beneficial to rich students who don't need to compare financial-aid offers from various colleges. After the announcement, many people within education urged other colleges to take a similar step.
"We're thrilled," said Laurie Kobick, a college counselor (顧問(wèn)) at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va. "I think it's going to make admissions better in so many different ways. It will indeed go a small way toward leveling the field among applicants. Of course, it will also have an effect on colleges, and the biggest winner will almost certainly be Harvard. a fact that may prevent many other colleges – perhaps all of them – from       following Hazard this time. Because any college that does so will risk losing some of its best applicants."
小題1:From the first paragraph we can learn that Harvard ____.
A.was the first college in the American colonies
B.was best known for the SAT
C.was muck better than Stanford and Yale
D.refused to offer financial-aid to applicants
小題2:By abandoning early admissions program, Harvard wants ____.
A.to attract the public's attention
B.to influence higher education in its own way
C.to save money spent in attracting students
D.to allow its competitors to admit more students
小題3:Early admissions program is good for rich students because ____.
A.they have more chances to enter college
B.they can enter college with a lower score
C.they have special right to be admitted into college
D.they have no problem in supporting their studies
小題4:Why does Laurie Kobick think other colleges may not follow Harvard?
A.Because they think the action will harm high education.
B.Because they are afraid that the action is not practical.
C.Because they may attract fewer top students than he[ore,
D.Because they are afraid the action will damage their reputation.
