Both of my parents worked full­time when I was a little girl,so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price Is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school,we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me,though,because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing:she never seemed to need the recipes(食谱)but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch,even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older,she let me help with the easy parts,such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs,I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last,my parents decided that I could take care of myself,and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking,however,stayed with me. I started baking by myself,and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes,more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes,and whenever I got to a thorny part,I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago,but I still think of her every day. Last week,I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies,cookies,and my favorite,lemon pie. As I looked through the pages,I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking,but about life.
【1】The passage is mainly developed by .
A.analyzing causes B.making comparisons
C.following the time order D.examining differences
【2】While helping her grandmother bake,the author .
A.found it interesting B.turned out to be a troublemaker
C.hoped to make a living by baking D.regretted missing the game shows
【3】What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Basic. B.Common.
C.Special. D.Difficult.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To describe her childhood memories. B.To show her good baking skills.
C.To remember her grandmother. D.To talk about her happy family life.

These days, it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets.Rather than depend on another pre-existing planet, could we make a new, proper planet ourselves?

To start with, if we do want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone, meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly, liquid(液态的) water.
We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our Earth is made up of many different elements(元素). If we made our own new planet we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure(结构) We’ d also want enough water to form some oceans.
But even if we get all of the materials creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.
We would probably also need a lot of food since there s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!
According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0. 83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging(包装) material. Without the weight of the packaging material, we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.
Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
【1】What's the first thing we should do if we want to create a new planet?
A.To prepare enough food.
B.To design its inner structure.
C.To find a proper place to set the planet.
D.To collect materials similar to our Earth.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to?
A.Our Earth. B.Outer space.
C.The new planet. D.The ocean water.
【3】How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal?
A.About 0. 12 kilograms. B.About 0. 71 kilograms.
C.About 0. 83 kilograms. D.About 0.95 kilograms.
【4】What does the author think of creating a planet?
A.It is a waste of money and time. B.It should be one of NASA’S next plans.
C.It is not a good idea for humans. D.It won’t come true in the near future

We talk about people being “colour-blind” but very few of us are. Even those who describe themselves as colour-blind are normally just colour lack. A strongly, colour-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.
Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a’ genetic trouble. It is known as Colour-blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only sec in black and white.
Not being able to see in colour is bad enough. But one is lander, Herrol, who’s a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it’s sunny I cannot see to do my work.”
But if being truly colour-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?
Well,we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami (海啸). As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It’s believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.
There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though it’s hard work we enjoy it.”
【1】What is Pingelap famous as?
A. A tiny island.
B. A beautiful island.
C. A mentally troubled island.
D. A colour-blind island.
【2】What .can we infer about Herrol?
A. He may stay at home when it’s sunny.
B. He is interested in burnt-out images.
C. He likes taking photos very much.
D. He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more.
【3】Why are about one-tenth of people in Pingelap seriously colour-blind?
A. Because Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.
B. Because the king had an unlucky marriage.
C. Because the king’s genetic fault played a role.
D. Because the king made a serious mistake.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A. The island of colour-blindness.
B. The disadvantage of Herrol.
C. The history of Pingelap.
D. The advantage of colour-blindness.

How to take notes
Every student knows the importance of taking notes in class. 【1】 Adults (成年人) need to take notes in meetings or training courses for work. So here are some ways to help you develop this important skill.
♦ Begin with the date and the topic of the class. This may seem obvious, but it’s easy to forget. 【2】
♦ Focus on the most important points. Trying to write down everything the speaker says will only make you angry. 【3】
♦ If the speaker uses a PowerPoint, you may not need to copy the slides. Ask if the PowerPoint will be available afterward. If so, you can focus on writing the things the speaker says instead. Or you can take a picture with a phone. 【4】 If so, print it out so you can write notes on it.
♦ 【5】 This will give you the chance to add any information that you didn’t write down. It’s best to do this as soon as possible, so that you don’t forget anything. This review will also increase your chances of remembering what you wrote.
Note-taking is a useful skill, so it’s important to practice doing it well.
A.Also, the PowerPoint may be available before the class or meeting.
B.Look over your notes again after taking them.
C.It will help you keep your notes organized.
D.Try your best to write down what you want to remember.
E.But the skill of note-taking isn’t only used in school.
F.Consider different note-taking skills.
G.Instead, listen for the key ideas the person wants to communicate.
