阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。         Strange thing happens to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones
one hour apart, you can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer
than seven days.
         If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone (时区) every
day. As you enter each zone, the time changes the hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back; travelling
east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
        If you travel by ship across the Pacific you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the
point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar the full day, backward or
forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday; travelling west, it is tomorrow! 1. The best title for this passage is              .[     ]

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。        If you ask some people: "How did you learn English so well?" you may get a surprising answer: "In my
sleep!"
       These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test learn-while-you-sleep
methods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only
one.
        Specialists say that this sleep-study method speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average
(平均) person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day — and
this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however, sleep-teaching will only force your head
to learn what you have studied already while you are awake.
        In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio continually for two weeks. Each lesson
lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. . The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were
given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a sleep song was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the
next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent
over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. Then soft songs went
him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o"clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson
again for three hours before breakfast. 1. The learn-while-you-sleep method          than other learning methods.[     ]
A. can get better result
B. is more acceptable
C. is more tiring
D. is harder2. By this method, one            .[     ]

阅读下面短文，并做短文后面的题目，从四个选项上中，选出最佳答案。         New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle
school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won"t only have high
marks. They will also be kids who don"t dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the
new rules.
         Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else"s work on an exam? Don"t do it again! That"s not
something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don"t
tell your parents you have done homework.
         Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-Loving Month in
our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about
animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone. Have
you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your
team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
         Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you"ll discover
Earth II someday. Don"t look down on new ideas. Everyone"s ideas are important. You should welcome them,
because new ideas make life better for everyone.
         Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don"t let it happen to
you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
         Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the
Internet aren"t for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or
homework. Can"t you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some:
         http ://kids. eastday. com
         http ://www. chinakids. net. com
         http: //www. cycnet. com

阅读理解。 During the day we work and play and at night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning
we are ready to work and play again. It is while we are asleep that our bodies grow most. When children feel
tired and angry, they usually need more sleep. We can get our lessons better, and we feel better, too, when
we have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls, eight or nine years old, need ten hours of sleep every night. Our
bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh air we wake up feeling tired. While in
bed we must not cover our heads. If we do, our lungs（肺）will not get enough fresh air. If we open our
windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls must get
plenty of sleep if they want to grow and be strong. 1. Our bodies grow most while we are ______.

[ ]

阅读理解。      We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don"t do a very good job.
This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
      So, you have to give a speech-and you"re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say,
you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness,
it"s over. I"m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again."
      Cheer up! It doesn"t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech
making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then,
gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend
plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many
examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more
clearly. Never forget your audience. Don"t talk over their heads, and don"t talk down to them. Treat your
audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
      Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what
you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make
person-to -person contact with your audience.
     If you follow these simple steps, you"ll see that you don"t have to be afraid of public speaking. In
fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You"re not
convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 1. The main idea of this article is _____. [     ]
A. you can improve your speaking ability
