There is a man who is dying to find the way to success, but he doesn’t have an idea how to do it. One day, he meets a guru, a religious teacher, on the road. The man asks the guru, “Which way is to success?” The gum doesn’t speak, but points to a place off in the distance. The man, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushes off in that direction. Along the way, he is occupied in inking up something special but there is nothing. Suddenly there comes a loud splat（溅泼声）. Eventually, the man limps back in rags, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. Therefore, he returns to the guru for a reason. He repeats his question to the gum, who again points silently in the same direction. The man was obedient to walk off once more. This time the splat is deafening, and when the man crawls back, he is bloody, broken and angry, “I asked you which way was to success,” he screams at the guru,” I followed the direction you pointed to. And all I got was being knocked down! No more of this pointing! Tell me why? Talk!” Only then does the guru speak, and what he says is that “Success is that way. Just a little past the splat.” 【1】Why does the man fail once more? A. He is so stupid that he cannot find it. B. The way to success does not exist in life. C. The guru gave the wrong direction to him. D. He does not make sense of the guru’s words. 【2】What does the underlined word ‘‘obedient” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Submitted. B. Pleasing. C. Disappointed. D. Unwilling. 【3】What does the guru think of how to succeed? A. Getting the help from others. B. Achieving it all on your own. C. Keeping on going after some failures. D. Just facing up to many difficulties. 【4】What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Believe in yourself. B. Don’t give up too soon. C. Listen to the wisdom’s suggestion. D. Introduce the guru’s wisdom. |

Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold water near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal. All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat. Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up. When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are. Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong. In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds. 【1】The underlined phrase “licked up” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”. A. given up B. ended up C. broken up D. eaten up 【2】During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales _____. A. always swim under the ocean B. find food to supply their energy C. face the colder and colder water D. travel to the lagoons without a break 【3】Where do mother gray whales give birth? A. In warm shallow waters near Mexico. B. Off the coast of North America. C. In the open seas near Mexico. D. In cold waters near Alaska. 【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about gray whales in the text? A. How long they live. B. How they get their food. C. When they get back to Alaska. D. How long they spend traveling to Mexico. |

The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem. As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs. For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age. Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job. Other poor people look for a job, but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer. At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways: First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor，the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more probable that they can find jobs. Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living. 【1】This passage is mainly about . A. the poverty line B. how to look for jobs C. how to raise the standard of living D. the causes of poverty and solutions to the problem 【2】If the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line . A. falls B. does not change C. rises D. changes at random 【3】Which one is not the reason that poor adults do not look for jobs? A. They are too sick to work. B. They have no motivation. C. They family problems. D. They are too lazy to find jobs. 【4】The underlined word “distribute” means “ ”. A. charge B. share C. receive D. deliver |

If you’ve never bought organic food, you might be wondering what’s so special about it. Is it really better for you? How does that work? This text will give you a short introduction to the subject. Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think it’s better for their health. Whether that’s true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. Intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but it’s also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. According to a report by the World Resources Institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. Fertilizers — and the much more deadly pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them — finally find their way into rivers and seas. Sometimes they break down harmlessly, but they’re just as likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem. Many people find it puzzling that organic products are more expensive. After all, you’re doing away with expensive chemicals ... so shouldn’t they be cheaper? Organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive(劳动密集型) way of farming and that’s why it costs more. As a responsible (有责任的) consumer, it’s up to you to decide where to put your money. Are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? Are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment? 【1】Which of the following does the author agree on? A. Organic food is better for people’s health. B. Organic food is better for the environment. C. Organic food tastes better than traditional food. D. Organic food can be produced in great amounts. 【2】The underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “______”. A. making use of B. getting rid of C. keeping away from D. taking advantage of 【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards organic food? A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Worried. D. Supportive. |
