阅读理解       Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to
do a number of simple jobs. They say that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs,
bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are
always given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may
be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they will get something in return.
       Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephants can be used to do some
heavy jobs. And we can also teach animals to work in factories. Apes, for example, have been used in
America to help make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in crops and
even drive trains.1. Elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs because____________.A. they can eat a lot

       Sometimes, people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do
  harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food
  is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken),
  dairy (like milk and cheese), grains (like bread and rice), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats and
  sweets. The USDA also suggests (建议) how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though
  this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.
       As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, 
  Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount (量) of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of
  the way they eat, they have a high rate (率) of cancer (癌症) and heart disease. In Japan, people eat
  large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart
  disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move
  to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as
  hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and
  cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in
  which the disease rate is going up alone with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere
  suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.
       Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating
  habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents. When parents
  eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits.
  Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.
     Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects (影响) us in
  different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from
  many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause (引起) diseases. We can change our
  eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living. 
1. What is the USDA in the passage?
A. A group of doctors in the US.        
B. An office of the US government.
C. A report on diseases in the US.      
D. An order given by the US president. 
2. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _______.
A. Japanese are always healthier than Americans
B. living in the US is not good for people"s health
C. if you eat too much fat you will have cancer
D. the way we eat may cause some health problems
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. More and more people have good eating habits now.
B. Parents" eating habits are important to their children.
C. Good eating habits develop only when you are young.
D. The more fruit and vegetables we eat, the longer we will live. 
4. The greatest help the passage gives us is _______.
A. to introduce a food guide to the world
B. to provide us with knowledge of six food groups
C. to suggest a way of eating for a healthy life
D. to find the main cause of some serious diseases

       Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They say that
  because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings,
  classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can"t imagine
  how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We
  should invent a new kind of school that is linked (链接) to libraries,museums, science centres, labs and
  even companies. Technological companies should create (创造) learning programs for schools.
  Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local (本地的) stations could develop
  programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up Web sites to show new
  technology so students could see it on the Internet.
       Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the
  whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school,and in the office.
  Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for
  people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use
  it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby
  ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it
  is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well;
  and we will all learn something from the Internet.
1. Who thinks that students don"t have to learn at school?
A. Everyone.        
B. The writer.
C. Some people.      
D. The teachers. 
2. What does "a new kind of school" mean in the passage?
A. A school with many new computers.
B. A school with many new students.
C. A school with many new teachers.
D. A school which is linked to the Internet. 
3. Older people ______.
A. never go on the Internet
B. go on the Internet more often than younger ones
C. go on the Internet as often as younger ones
D. go on the Internet less often than younger ones
4. What the writer thinks is that ______.
A. schools are still necessary    
B. more schools should be built
C. there should be fewer schools  
D. more computers are needed in schools
5. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

     Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets
hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets
warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the
space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when
the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts, One is called
the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.
This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are. Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon
Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.What to do when a typhoon hits:
● Stay inside, close all the windows and stay away from them.
● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds
   could even blow away your bikes!
● Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
● If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

1. Typhoons often happen _________.  
A. in the hot season    
B. in the cold season
C. only in China    
D. under the sea
2.Which picture can tell the meaning of the underlined sentences“ it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in.”?
A.  
B. 
C .
D.  
3. When a typhoon comes, we cannot __________.  
A. close all the windows   
B. listen to typhoon news
C. stay outside with our bikes  
D. stay inside the strong house
4. This passage is mainly about __________.
A. the knowledge of typhoon  
B. the eye of a typhoon
C. the most dangerous typhoon Yunna  
D. the names of typhoon
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.
B. This year Typhoon Peal killed 164 people in Zhejiang.
C. The strongest winds and harder rains are in the eye of typhoon.
