阅读理解。     High school could be a scary time for everyone. The school seems bigger; there are more kids and it"s a
totally new environment. In fact, it isn"t that bad.
     High school is a lot like middle school after a while. The first day of course is always scary, and the first
day of middle school must have been the same. Of course, the first few days you might get lost while looking
for your classes but after a while, what seemed to be a large school really isn"t.
     One thing that"s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes you can take. If you
happen to like art, there are many art classes. In addition, there are other classes that weren"t available in middle
school like photography or psychology.
     In high school, there are a lot of things that are similar to how middle school was but at the same time,
there are other opportunities available as well. There are more clubs, sports, and other activities you can join
in.
     You"re able to join in these activities and make new friends with kids with the same interest as you. These
activities also give you a chance to learn something you never had the opportunity to learn before.
     High school has something for everyone. You just have to decide what to take part in. but there"s one thing
that"s certain that you"re going to have just as much fun in high school as you did in middle school. And if
middle school wasn"t that great for you, high school is a chance to make up for it. 
     High school isn"t just about having fun though. You have to be responsible while you"re growing up.
Teachers aren"t going to chase (催促) you up to do your homework. 1. The passage is mainly about _____. [     ]

举一反三
阅读理解。     Birds don"t need lessons in building nests. Fish don"t need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals
have instincts. They"re born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying
their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.
     But instincts and training aren"t the only keys to animals" behavior. Scientists say animals" thoughts and
feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can
help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools!
     If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born
in captivity (关在笼子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language
(手势语). She has learned hundreds of words!
     Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. "Koko love Ball," she signed. "Soft good cat." One time,
she blamed the cat for biting her by signing "You bad dirty toilet!" When her pet died, Koko cried. "Sad for
sleeping cat," she signed.
     Koko calls herself "fine animal gorilla". She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer
questions.
     "Most animals can"t use words to tell us their thoughts," says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. "But Koko shows
us that animals have their own ideas and feelings." Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the
United States. He says there"s even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies,
people watch animals in their natural environment.
     "Scientists who study animals" natural behaviors learn how animals live and think," Balcombe says. "That
knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us." 1. The underlined word "instincts" in the first paragraph probably refers to the ability that _____. [     ]
A. animals copy their parents
B. animals learn by practicing
C. animals are born with
D. animals learn through training 2. The example of Koko shows that _____. [     ]
A. an animal likes to have its own pet
B. an animal can learn to speak through training
C. an animal has the natural ability to speak
D. an animal can speak its mind 3. According to Balcombe, learning how animals live and think can _____. [     ]
A. help people care for animals
B. teach animals to use words
C. train animals to use tools
D. train animals to be cleverer 4. What might be the best title for the passage? [     ]
A. Raising animals as pets
B. Understanding animals
C. Training animals to speak
D. Protecting animals from danger

阅读理解。Dear MSN,
     I live in San Diego. I"m single and would like to meet people near me. Can I do this on the Internet? 
                                                                                                                  Searching in San Diego
Dear Searching,
    On the Internet, you could easily go looking for love in all the wrong places, but here are lots of great
ways to meet singles near you. 
    The Web is a good place to start. MSN also has international sites for Europe, Australia and South
America. 
    There are several California-based MSN web communities where you can meet like-minded people near
you as well as city-specific chat rooms for real-time interaction (互动). Hope for some clever friends.
What about a little more excitement in your online interactions? Try the "Gaming Zone!"
     I also tried MSN Search, looked under the "Personal" heading and found"Relationships". Clicked on that,
then found "Ads & Personals", by "Region" and found San Diego specific personal from there. Try it!
     Also, give "IRC" (Internet Relay Chat) and "Usenet Newsgroups" a shot. Many a net romance has started
and then developed in these off-the-Web communities. If you"d rather make friends F2F (face to face), the
Web has some helpful dating and redating tips. 1. Searching has written this letter with the purpose of _____. [     ]

阅读理解。                                                                   Memory
     What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time
you watched a television program? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before
entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal
experiences.
     A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this "childhood amnesia".
Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia.
According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else"s spoken description of their personal
experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories.
In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this
verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced.
     So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents
evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way. Children whose mothers talk with them about
the day"s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day"s special event than those whose mothers
don"t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a
continuous story is the key to a permanent mental "autobiography (自传)" of important life events. Dr. Simms
suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel.
     The key to creating this mental life story is language, says Dr. Simms. "Children learn to talk about the past,"
she says. "Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of
long-term memories." One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience
is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this "word-description" of an
experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child"s language skills are
usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their
experiences. 1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?[     ]
A. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents.
B. Why can"t we remember the events of early childhood?
C. Adults can"t remember things as well as children.
D. What are memories of early childhood like? 2. What does the word "amnesia" in the second paragraph mean?[     ]
A. A mental life story.
B. A childhood memory.
C. Inability to remember.
D. Researches on memory. 3. To form permanent memories of their experiences, young children need to _____.[     ]
A. talk about them with others
B. grow older than three or four
C. write a story in their own language
D. have a good relationship with their parents 4. According to Dr. Simms, the reason why children don"t form long-term memories before the age of
    three is that children _____. [     ]
A. can"t call back their experiences
B. have nowhere to store the memories
C. haven"t developed enough language skills
D. confuse the memory with the experience itself

阅读理解。    This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world
will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form
impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other
countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
     Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George"s
family. In turn, George"s son Mike spent a year in Fred"s home in America. 
     Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months" study the language
began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students
rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are
usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
     Family life, too, was different. The father"s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather
than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. 
     "Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk,
but you soon learn to like it."
     At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should
criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very
much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe
your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two." 1. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries. [     ]
A. twenty-three hundred
B. thirteen hundred
C. over three thousand
D. less than two thousand 2. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____. [     ]
