This recently-released documentary(紀(jì)錄片)had some fantastic footage(鏡頭) in it, and a very personal look at many of the astronauts who went to the moon. Overall, that is a very exclusive(獨(dú)特的) club; only about a dozen men ever did it in the history of the world and just eight or nine ever stepped foot on it. Most of them are still alive and they discuss their adventures, insights and personal feelings here.
One gets the feeling that the rest of us will never know exactly how beautiful the moon is except to take the astronauts’s words about it, because even the pictures on this DVD can’t convey that.
Since this documentary is about 100 minutes long, you get a lot of information. You also get reminded how close two of the three men who went up on that historic first walk on the moon almost didn’t get home alive.
An absence in this documentary is the most famous astronaut of them all: Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the moon! Apparently, he did not want to be part of this film. One of the astronauts mentions something briefly about Armstrong being somewhat of a “recluse(隱居者)” now and it “being understandable with what he’s gone through”. From what I’ve read, a lot of people have tried to make money off him in shady ways and so now he’s withdrawn(退出) from the public spotlight.
This film, a legacy to the Apollo program and the brave men who ran it, should be in every schoolroom. It would make history more interesting to students.
小題1:What can we know from the passage?
A.One of the astronauts talks about how beautiful the moon is.
B.Two of the three men who went to the moon lost their lives.
C.The documentary would make more students interested in history.
D.The astronauts talk about their adventures, insights and excitement.
小題2:How many astronauts first flew to the moon?
A.1B.2C.3.D.4
小題3:Why was Armstrong absent from the film?
A.Because he didn’t like to show in public.
B.Because he has been tired of astronaut’s life.
C.Because someone wanted to make money off him.
D.Because he thought what he did was nothing to mention.
小題4:What made Armstrong famous around the world?
A.That he came back safely to the earth alive.
B.That he became an astronaut.
C.That he first stepped on the moon.
D.That he walked on the moon for 100 minutes.

小題1:A
小題2:C

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect(昆蟲), is found in England. It is light brown in colour and likes to settle(棲息) on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be seen and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.
But with the development of industry(工業(yè)) , smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange took place: in industrial areas, the Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years, some scientists soon notice that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist with the name Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon(現(xiàn)象). He marked some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured(重新捕獲) as many as the marked moths as possible. The results were as follows.
 
light moths
darker moths
Moths set free
201
601
moths recaptured
34(16%)
206(34%)
Kettlewell's research (研究) was done in the early 1950s. Soon afterwards Britain introduced new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.
Can you imagine what would happen to the Peppered Moth as the air became cleaner again?
小題1:The Peppered Moth began to change its colour in industrial areas because         .
A.it itself liked to
B.it could be like the colour of its living-place
C.it had to keep the balance of nature
D.it was usually dark brown
小題2:From the results of Kettlewell's research, we can see that       .
A.many more of the light moths were killed or eaten
B.more than one-fifth of the light moths was not killed
C.three times as many dark moths were kept safe as light ones
D.more dark moths were killed in industrial areas
小題3:As the air became cleaner,        .
A.the number of the light moths became larger
B.the total number of the light moths remained unchanged
C.there were more of the darker moths and fewer of the light ones
D.the darker moths changed into the light ones suddenly

Today’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.
On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.
Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!
小題1:The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle         .
A.makes their children become independent
B.may lead to a tense parent – child relationship
C.is harmful to their children’s health
D.is likely to create a troubled generation
小題2:What does the underlined word “l(fā)enient” (in Para 2) mean?
A.Not responsibleB.Not strict.C.Unkind.D.Unfair.
小題3:It seems that the writer agrees that students          .
A.should stay at home on weekends
B.can wear trendy clothes at school
C.had better wear school uniform at school
D.can be allowed to go out in the evenings
小題4:According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’s problems?
A.The social environment.B.The educational system.
C.Each family.D.The school.

Sometimes educators need to be reminded that their job is important and they are very much appreciated. Here are some movies that inspire us and make educators feel proud to be in the field of education where they really do have an impact.
The Miracle Worker
The ultimate teaching miracle, Anne Bancroft is awesome as Annie Sullivan who uses ‘tough love' to get through to the deaf and blind Helen Keller played by Patty Duke. Very few people can watch the famous ‘water' scene without experiencing a feeling of victory and relief. Excellent portrayal of the importance of perseverance. Both Bancroft and Duke won an Academy Award for their performances.
The Karate Kid
While not normally thought of as a ‘classroom' movie, The Karate Kid has much to say to teachers: Sometimes we have to have our students do things that they will not understand until much later; Basic skills are most important; Honor and integrity are central to character; Students need to see us beam with excitement over their achievements. A fun, nostalgic and inspiring movie to relish.
To Sir With Love
Produced in 1967, this film with Sidney Poitier as a novice teacher has a lot to teach us today. Poitier takes a teaching position in the rough part of London in order to pay his bills. Realizing that his students need to be taught important life lessons more than the curriculum he has been handed to teach them, he throws out the lesson plans and makes a real impact on their personal lives.
Mr. Holland's Opus
This memorable movie gives all teachers hope that they truly have an impact on their students. Richard Dreyfuss is wonderful as a musician/composer who must take a teaching job to support his family. In the end, Dreyfuss' character realizes that he has had as much if not more of an impact from his teaching ashe would have as a composer.
小題1:The four films above are specially intended for_______.
A.studentsB.teachersC.parentsD.managers
小題2:Which film tells us that students not only need to learn knowledge in the books but also knowledge in life?
A.Mr. Holland's OpusB.The Karate Kid
C.To Sir With LoveD.The Miracle Worker
小題3:Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?
A.The actress who plays won a prize.
B.Richard Dreyfuss finally became a composer that he dreamt to be.
C.Helen Keller is the teacher of Annie Sullivan.
D.In the film “The Karate Kid” the teachers later have students do what they understand.

Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).
Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.
They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.
“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”
小題1:What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students?
A.Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.

The UK has a well­respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect(前景)of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve­wracking(令人頭痛的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week:
●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette(禮節(jié)). Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.
●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits
小題1:Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage?
A.October is generally the busiest month for universities.
B.It’s a good idea to have a doorstop.
C.A bit of planning can make Freshers’ Week easier.
D.The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week.
小題2:The underlined word "recruits" in the last paragraph refers to__________.
A.coursesB.freshersC.neighborsD.challenges
小題3:We can infer from the 4th paragraph that     .
A.the newcomers usually miss the days living at home
B.most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities
C.many freshers are worried about how to fit university life
D.a(chǎn)ll the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs
小題4:Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy?
A.To pass the busy university life.
B.To help make friends with other freshers.
C.To show yourself a drinker as others.
D.To pass the time in a happy way.
