On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隱匿處) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (蔭處) out of the wind and rain.
Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.
小題1:Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?
A．Because she wanted to sleep.
B．Because she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals.
C．Because it’s easy to see the elephants.
D．Because it’s very comfortable.
小題2:How can photograpers take good photos?
A．By making good preparation.B．By going into the forest at night.
C．By walking around the holes.D．By going to the nearest lake.
小題3:Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?
A．All animals go to water holes at night.
B．Lakes are good places for bird-watching.
C．Leila used her car to prevent the sunshine.
D．Animaals pay no attention to photographers.
小題4:What can we know from the underlined sentence?
A．The successf rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most.
B．Photographers who take wildlife photos need more practice.
C．To take good wildlife photos is not difficult.

If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki(赫爾辛基）during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams（有軌電車）, you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram ,suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead ,they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
An usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around（四處走動）in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront（濱水區(qū)）of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way. Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
小題1:Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ____________
A．19th century buildings, boats and parks
B．19th century buildings, boats and seabirds

小題2:The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go___________

Surprises often come in boxes. Birthday presents wrapped in colorful paper, brown paper packages mailed from a friend. No matter what kind of box it is, people like to open it up and see what's inside. In America, and in many other countries, one special kind of box contains the future. It's called a ballot box. What people put into the box on election day can change the course of history.
Elections are the lifeblood of a democracy. The word democracy literally means "the people rule," an important concept in American history. In the mid-1700s, England began passing laws that made the American colonies angry. The colonists had to pay more and more taxes and enjoyed less and less freedom. They felt the government of England didn't represent their interests. On July 4, 1776, the colonies declared their independence from England. They wanted to establish a democracy where people could have a voice in government.
An effective democracy holds regular elections. In America, elections are held every two years for members of Congress. In these elections, all seats in the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate seats are up for grabs. In addition, every four years, voters go to the polls to elect the nation's president and vice-president. Voters also regularly cast their ballots for state and city government leaders and local school board members. Sometimes they also have to vote on a proposed law.
In the American electoral system, people don't really vote for presidential candidates. Instead, voters cast their ballots for "electors" who support each candidate. Each state has as many electors as the total number of its representatives in Congress. This equals two senators per state plus the number of its representatives in the House (which is based on the state's population). The candidate who has the most votes in a state wins all of the state's electors. To win the presidential election, a candidate must gain at least 270 of the 538 total electoral votes.
Over the years, the U.S. has made a number of election reforms. Some early reforms outlawed cheating, giving bribes and threatening voters. They also limited the amount of money candidates could receive from donors and spend on their campaigns. In 1870, black people gained the right to vote, and in 1920, that right was extended to women. In recent decades, laws against unfair rules for voting have been passed. No longer do people have to pay a special tax or pass a test in order to vote. In 1971, the voting age was lowered to 18. Other reforms made voting easier for the blind, the disabled and people who couldn't read. In some areas, ballots had to be printed in languages besides English.
In November, Americans will again elect those who will represent them in government. Although some citizens aren't even registered to vote--and some registered voters don't bother to go to the polls--most Americans exercise their right to vote. They realize that their future is wrapped up in a special package--the ballot box. It's a package that must definitely be "handled with care."
小題1:According to the context, what does a “ballot box” mean in Chinese?
A．彩票箱B．投票箱C．禮品箱D．保險箱
小題2:Democracy means that ____.
A．People couldn’t have a voice in a government.
B．In America, elections are held every four years for members of Congress.
C．Democracy is the lifeblood of elections.
D．Basically “ the people rule”, and it’s very important in American history.
小題3:How will the votes distributed if Romney got 20 votes while Obama received 17 votes in California in the election?
A．Romney will win 20 votes in California.
B．Obama will win 20 votes in California.
C．Romney will win 37 votes in California.
D．Obama will win 37 votes in California.
小題4: Which one is RIGHT about election reforms?
A．People have to pay a special tax to vote.
B．There are bribes and threatening in elections now.
C．People above eighteen years old can vote now.
D．The disabled or the blind have tough access to voting.
小題5: What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Birthday boxes in the U.S. B．Election systems in the U.S.
C．Election reforms in the U.S.D．Democracy in the U.S.

Charlotte Hollins faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save farm that their father worked on since he was 14. Although confident they will succeed, she is aware of farming’s many challenges.
“You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices low. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,” she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!”
Like others around the world, Charlotte’s generation tend to leave the farm for cities.
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land. “I’m sure Dad hoped I’d stay,” he said. “I guess it’s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal to me. For young, ambitious people, farm life is hard.”
For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much “in terms of money or lifestyle”. Hollins agrees that economic factors stop people from enjoying the rewards of farming. He describes it as a career that provides “for a vital human need”, allowing people to work “outdoors with nature.”
Farming is a big political issue in the UK. The “Buy British” campaigns urge consumers not to purchase cheaper imported foods. The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness about the troubles on UK farms.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children eating healthily also highlighted the issue.
This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.
“I started going to Farmers’ Markets in direct defiance(違抗) of the big supermarkets. I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything－what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red? It’s terrible,” said Londoner Michaela Samson, 31.
小題1:What are the challenges that British farmers face according to Charlotte Hollins?
a. loneliness                       b. thin profits
c. a lack of good equipment        d. long working hours but slow results
A．a(chǎn)bcB．a(chǎn)bdC．a(chǎn)cdD．bcd
小題2:Why did Oliver Robinson refuse to stay on the farm?
A．He hoped for a simpler life
B．He was fed up with a hard farm life.
C．Farm life was too demanding though he liked it.
D．He hoped for something challenging and rewarding.
小題3:What happened in 2001 to the British beef farmers?
A．British people ate more British beef.
B．To be a beef farmer became profitable.
C．Diseaes dramatically reduced the amount of beef available.
D．Foreign farmers stopped selling beef to Britain.
小題4:Which of the following is an advantage of Farmers’ Markets?
A．Lower prices.B．Flexible sizes.
C．Convenient location.D．Healthier food.
小題5:What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?
A．Things are improving for independent farms in the UK.
B．Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets.
C．Most British people are doubtful of food in supermarkets.
D．Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begun to help save them.

A new United Nations report shows that fish farming may soon be the world’s most important provider of fish. The Food and Agriculture Organization says fish farming is growing at a rate of 6.6 percent a year.
Fish farming now produces forty-six percent of the world’s supply of fish. That represents a forty-three percent increase from 2006. The report also said fish farming earned more money in 2008 than traditional fisheries.
In fish farming, fish are raised in tanks or small bodies of water called ponds. They are also raised in cages or nets in oceans, lakes and rivers. The report says increased fish farming has helped people around the world eat record amounts of fish. The FAO says each person ate an average of almost seventeen kilograms of fish last year.
However, the FAO says the current yearly wild-fish harvest of ninety million tons shows no improvement. Decreasing numbers of fish and stronger catch limits have reduced the possibilities for catching wild fish. The FAO report says about thirty-two percent of world supplies are overfished. It says these supplies of fish need to be rebuilt at once.
Some scientists have criticized fish farming. They say the nets and cages permit fish diseases and pests to spread. Some fish farming critics doubt whether fish farming can keep growing at the current rate. But Wally Stevens of the trade group Global Aquaculture Alliance says the industry must continue developing to feed growing populations. Mr. Stevens says a one hundred percent increase in fish farming over ten years is necessary to keep providing for people at the current level. He notes that fish farming creates jobs and wealth, especially for people in coastal areas of China.
小題1:We learn that since the year 2006, fish farming has been ______.
A．earning more money than traditional fisheries
B．developing rapidly around the world
C．growing at a rate of 6.6 percent each day
D．producing 46% of the world’s supply of fish
小題2:According to Paragraph 3, thanks to fish farming, people around the world are able to ______.
A．buy more kinds of fishesB．eat more fish than before
C．eat much healthier fishD．eat much bigger fish
小題3:What is implied in Paragraph 4?
A．it is harder to catch wild fish than before.
B．It costs too much to rebuild supplies of fish.
C．There is no future for the market of wild fish.
D．Catching wild fish no longer brings benefits.
小題4:What does Wally Stevens think of fish farming?
A．It doesn’t have disadvantages at all.
B．It cannot keep growing at the current rate.
C．It is not a good way of raising fish.
D．It must develop fast to supply a growing population.

Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact(聯(lián)系) with people from around the world. This means that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect （方言）of London became the standard. In 1604, the first English dictionary was published.
The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ. Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors(因素): firstly, the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words; secondly, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America resulted in the creation of American English. Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that the British call “ Americanisms” are in fact original （原先的）British expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English, with words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English. French words and West African words also influenced American English.
Today, American English is the most influential(有影響力的). But there are many other kinds of English around the world, including Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, South African English , Indian English and Caribbean English. They have differences.
小題1:What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A．The dialect of London became the standard in the year 1604.
B．Vowels were pronounced longer towards the end of Middle English
C．The first English dictionary was published in the early 17th century.
D．Many new words entered English because many people moved to Britain.
小題2:From Paragraph 2, we know that the Industrial Revolution __________.
A．required spelling and grammar to be fixed
B．required a greater number of English words
C．caused many old English words to be useless
D．led to the English colonization of North America.
小題3:The underlined word “froze” in Paragraph 3 shows that some English words in America___________.
A．became longer
B．greatly changed
C．a(chǎn) little changed
D．stayed as they were
小題4:What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss?
A．The development of Modern English
B．How the English vocabulary became larger
C．Differences among the different kinds of English
D．Differences between Middle English and Modern English
