It might seem impossible that tiny insects could be very harmful to a large house. But wood-eating termites(白蚁) can indeed do a lot of harm to a house.
Scientists believe that termites have been around for about 50 million years. Today, there are nearly 3,000 kinds of termites. They can be found all over the world.
A termite’s diet is mainly made of the fiber(纤维素) found in plants. Many termites feed on trees and wood in wooded areas. However, they don’t know the difference between the wood in a forest and the wood used to build houses. If they find wood inside a house, they will happily eat it.
It would take a single termite over 3,000 years to eat up the wood in a small house. Unluckily, termites are social insects. They live in groups. A termite group could be made up of 15 million termites or more. They eat day and night. Large termite groups can eat as much as one pound of wood in a day.
Termites can be hard to discover. Often, they’re found only after big damage has been done to a house, especially in May every year.
【1】From the passage, we know that termites_____________ .
A.are tiny and harmful birds B.are used to build houses
C.can be seen only in China D.are good at eating wood
【2】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us_____________ .
A.what termites like to eat B.where termites can be found
C.how termites are harmful to a house D.how many termites a termite group has
【3】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Silent Enemies B.A Single Insect
C.Ways to Find Termites D.Advice on Killing Termites

At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She looked down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person called Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”
【1】From the story, we learn the writer_____________ .
A.was always slow at learning B.had problems with his right hand
C.was used to taking homework home D.finished the paper perfectly at last
【2】The fifth paragraph shows that Louis Braille_____________ .
A.enjoyed reading in a quiet room B.made a wonderful invention
C.had no time of getting education D.helped the writer dance well
【3】Which words can best describe Mrs. Smith to her students?
A.Wise and encouraging. B.Patient and lovely.
C.Polite and warm-hearted. D.Rude and serious.
【4】What is the main idea of the story?
A.The disabled should be treated with warmth.
B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.
C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D.A good teacher is like a candle to light your way.

Lois Gibson will never forget that day. One evening nearly 40 years ago, a man broke into her house. He asked Gibson to give him all her money. After Gibson refused, the man almost put her to death. Luckily, Gibson was released at last. She was too afraid to call the police. The second day while driving, Gibson turned onto a wrong street. There, she happened to see the man being caught. Suddenly, Gibson saw a reason to return to school and learn more about art.
Four years later, Gibson became a forensic artist(罪犯素描师). Now 65, she has had an excellent job. Over the past 33 years, the artist has drawn thousands of suspects(嫌疑犯). About 30 percent of these drawings are helpful. No one in the world has done better.
Gibson still remembers the first time she tried to draw a suspect. She talked to a young man who had seen a killer. The man was too excited and Gibson couldn’t finish her drawing. The suspect looked like he was eating a lemon. However, just a day later, a policeman told Gibson that her drawing had helped solve the case. “I thought, if that terrible drawing stopped a bad guy—like the man who tried to kill me—I’m never going to stop,” Gibson says.
There is never a day that goes by when Gibson isn’t drawing a suspect. The artist says she wants to help those people feel better about something they are never going to forget. “When they see the drawing, they see hope for justice(正义),” she says.
Some of Gibson’s friends expect her to create the beautiful, just like other artists. She doesn’t. Why? “You’ll lose yourself if you catch one suspect,” she says. “You want to get another.”
【1】From the first paragraph, we’ve learnt that Gibson_____________ .
A.got the idea of being a forensic artist B.formed the habit of learning art
C.had an experience of catching thieves D.found an excuse for being a policewoman
【2】The underlined words “was released” mean “_____________” in the passage.
A.got mad B.became deaf C.went free D.felt angry
【3】When Gibson drew the suspect for the first time, she_____________ .
A.was too excited to finish drawing B.succeeded in helping the police
C.was almost killed by the bad guy D.felt terrible and stopped drawing
【4】It can be inferred from the passage that Gibson_____________ .
A.stopped drawing because of her old age B.drew the first suspect to stop him eating a lemon
C.drew the suspects to catch them for justice D.had many beautiful paintings like other artists

Many of us have had this experience: We lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.
According to a new study published in Current Biology, an important reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential(潜在的) dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete quietness. So, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms(节奏) of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. And the brain can’t relax, just as it is in the daytime.
US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian magazine, “If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert(警惕的), even though the sound is quite low.” It works to protect us in a dangerous environment.
More surprisingly, this situation is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its one eye staying open.
If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow(枕头) or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
【1】The cause of “first night effect” is that_____________ .
A.the left brains begin to relax B.the right brains have a hard time
C.one side of the brains is more active D.two sides of the brains need more rest
【2】Researchers find that “first night effect”_____________ .
A.protects people from danger B.helps animals sleep better
C.affects less in the daytime D.causes something unusual
【3】To solve the problem of “first night effect”, we’re advised to_____________ .
A.study the pictures of more animals B.learn from the way animals sleep
C.lie in a more comfortable bed D.get used to new environments
【4】The passage might be taken from a part of a_____________ .
A.travel poster B.news report
C.science magazine D.school notice
