In many stories on TV and in science-fiction books, men travel to faraway stars. They have quick, easy journeys. But so far, men have been able to reach only the earth’s own moon.

Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star. Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of the light. Nothing can move that fast except light itself.

Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly. The object weighs more. An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.

Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels six trillion miles. That great distance is called a light-year. It is used to measure distance in space.

The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centauri. It is more than four light-years away. If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to Alpha Centauri in nine years. But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid (北斗星) in the handle of the Big Dipper. A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years

2．A one-way journey to Alcaid would take（）.

A、about nine years

B、less than four years

3．Why do we measure the distance in light-years instead of miles?（）

A、Units of light-years sound better.

B、Using light- years reduced the number of figures used.

C、We used to measure distance in light-years long ago.

D、We do not make mistakes when we use light-years.

4．If a stone moved at the speed of light, it（）.

A、would weigh twice more than it is motionless

B、would weigh as much as it is on earth

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we reallyknow is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions andthings, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters,which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spokenor written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filledwith meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad eventsof our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Greatwriters are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfullyto our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the realpoet isa master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position andasociation can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words caretully and use them acurately,or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

1、Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?（）

A. He is no more than a master of words.

B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.

C. He can move men to tears.

D. His style is always charming

2. By ”association” in the last paragraph, the author means（）.

A. a special quality

B. a joining of ideas in the mind

C. an appearance which is puzzling

D. a strange feature

3. The real power of words consists in their（）.

A. properties

B. characteristics

C. peculiarity

D. representative function

4. What is true about words?（）

A. They are used to express feelings only.

B. They can not be written down.

C. They are simply sounds.

D. They are mysterious.

5. The origin of language is（）.

A. a legend handed down from the past

B. a matter that is hidden or secret

C. a question difficult to answer

D. a problem not yet solved

Zoos are among mankind's oldest institutions, dating back at least 4,500 years, and probably more. Across the world they have brought together and displayed live wild animals for people to look at and over the years hundreds of millions have. Any institution with so long a history and so universally attended must reach something in people deeper than idle curiosity. Since it is fashionable to speak of roots today, it might be suggested that zoos allow us to stay in touch with our most primitive roots in a primeval world where human survival depended on knowing the shapes and habits of wild animals. So important were wild creatures to our distant ancestors that they were the most frequent subjects of paintings on cave walls, formed the basis for virtually all early religions, and were in numerous instances worshipped as gods.
Now our survival is threatened more by what we ourselves have worked, and by the stresses of living among these creations, than it is by wild animals to whom we relegate less and less living space with each passing year. In this world the need for good zoological gar-dens is urgent. The exponential growth of human population and the ever-increasing sprawl of cities does more than rob land from wildlife: it pushes the animals father away from city dwellers. People live in brick, concrete, and glass environments where they lose all touch with wilderness; children grow up who have never tried to catch a frog, never seen a hawk soar or a deer step daintily into a forest clearing—let alone watched a herd of elephants amble across the river or a pride of lions stalk prey.
People who have the time and money can take an occasional trip to the remaining wilderness and find, in places where wild animals still live, the renewal of spirit that comes from prolonged visits to wild country. For millions of others who are unable to leave the cities or can't afford to, good zoos laid out among plants and trees can bring what conservationist Lan Player calls "a taste of wilderness''. Perhaps more important in the long run, zoos can help give deprived people an awareness that we share the world with many other animals and should have a decent regard for their worth and right to live. If zoos did no more than accomplish these two ends, they would serve a noble purpose.
As it happens, however, today's zoos can do far more. They can become breeding centers for those wild species whose continued existence has become precarious. The team "captive breeding" has been used to describe this new role of zoos, and this book describes the effort the most important task that zoos have yet undertaken.
In the second sentence of the first paragraph, "hundreds of millions" refers to the great number of_____ .
A．mankind's various institutions
B．zoos across the world
C．live wild animals displayed
D．people who have visited zoos

Mrs Sharp, a large, red－faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a &
Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a 'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local authorities when her old house was demolished (拆除).
She came from a large family with six girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother than by herself, because she always worked.
As the family grew, they moved out of their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still that of the extended family. "All my family used to live around Denby Street," said Mrs Sharp, "and we were always in and out of each other's houses." When she went to the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or in the market.
"You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street every day, either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said.
When her babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and neighbours would help - they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking(管闲事) her nose into our business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping (拨弄是非). But you had to put up with everyone, whatever they were like."
1)、Mrs. Sharp had to move to Greenleas because she had to work there.
A.T
B.F
2)、When she got married, she lived together with her parents all the time.
A.T
B.F
3)、She knew so many people because they were either her relatives or schoolmates.
A.T
B.F
4)、The sentence "I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business." in the last Para. means I had one neighbour who always showed her interests in our private affairs.

False teeth have been found in Italy in human heads that are over 2,500 years old

False teeth have been found in Italy in human heads that are over 2,500 years old. They were made of bone and set in gold. However，for hundreds of years afterwards，the apparent dental skill of those early people was lost. Without false teeth people looked old before their time，since so many lost their teeth at an early age.

Toward the end of the 17th century，rich people could buy false teeth made from ivory. The teeth were tied together with silk thread，but it was difficult to keep them in the mouth. That was why rich people would rather buy teeth from the poor who would often sell their teeth to buy food and clothing.

Early in the 18th century a French doctor used steel springs to hold teeth in place. However，it was difficult to close one‘s mouth! Late in the same century porcelain (瓷)teeth set in gold were often used to make false teeth.

Although the use of artificial teeth increased，human teeth continued to be used also. In the 19th century，teeth from soldiers killed in battle were made into artificial teeth. For example，teeth from the dead in the American Civil War were sent to England.

By the middle of the 19th century，an American doctor，Claudius Ash，invented a better kind of porcelain tooth made of a special kind of hard rubber.

26.When did people with the earliest false teeth live according to the passage？

[A] At the end of the 17th century.

[B] In the early 18th century.

[C] In the middle of the 19th century.

[D] Over 2,500 years ago.

27.Which material would wealthy people use to make artificial teeth in 1693？

[A] Porcelain.

[B] Hard rubber.

[C] Ivory.

[D] Bone.

28.Who first used steel springs to tie false teeth together according to the passage？

[A] An Italian doctor.

[B] A French doctor.

[C] An American doctor.

[D] An English doctor.

29.We can learn from the passage that ___________.

[A] one looked older than his real age with artificial teeth

[B] we are using the same method as ancient people in making false teeth

[C] poor people would often sell their teeth to get money in the 17th century

[D] human teeth were no longer used in making false teeth after the 18th century

30.The passage is mainly about ___________.

[A] the discovery of false teeth

[B] the material of false teeth

[C] the use of false teeth

[D] the history of false teeth Passage Three

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived. We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to see-ing bombed houses in the streets and the enormous army lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "before the war" and "when the war's over." "Before the war," apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over, we would go back to London, but this meant very little to me. I did not remember what Lon-don was like.
What I remember now about VE Day was the afternoon and the evening. It was a fine May day. I remember coming home at about five o'clock. My father and mother came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (篝火), so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and some peo-ple had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (小胡子) they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon covered the "guy." Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep the fire going.
I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remem-bering the end of that. At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one. "
Where did the narrator live before the Second World War？
A．In a small city.
B．In London.
C．In Europe.
D．In the countryside.

We feel it a pity that he didn't live up to _____________had been expected of him.
