I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs. Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.
Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.
Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!
Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.
44. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a ______ tone.
A. sad B. confused C. serious D. humorous
45. We may know from the passage that ______.
A. people in England like pigs more than other animals
B. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine
C. pigs are the first animals raised by man
D. more people don’t want to eat pigs now
46. The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.
A. What you have just said is impossible
B. Pigs are great animals
C. I don’t understand your words
D. I can’t agree with you more
47. Which diagram shows the structure of the passage?

C
Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3. Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
“I’m very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (附属的) to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”
Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It’s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China’s development over the next 10 years, said experts. The World Expo is known as “Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields.” It is usually held every five years and lasts for six months. The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world.
China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event’s about 159-year history. Not only will it attract more foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.
The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital.Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their first appearance at a World Expo.
48. What does the word in bald “rivals” probably mean in the second paragraph?
A. competitors. B. enemies. C. players. D. supporters.
49. The winning of bidding for the World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Olympic Games implies ______.
A. China is beginning to play a more important part on the international stage.
B. China has played the most important role in the international affairs.
C. China has become a developed country for many years.
D. China is the first Asian country to win the expo bid in history.
50. As we know, in general, the Word Expo is usually held every ______ years, while the Olympics is usually held every ______ years.
A. 4;5 B. 5;4 C. 4;4 D. 5;5
51. By bidding for the expo and the Olympics, we are sure that ______.
A. China will beat rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea
B. China will become a super country in the United Nations
C. China will build a famous tower like Eiffel Tower as the symbol of the capital
D. China will develop more quickly than before and will benefit a lot from them

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 71 . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
72 . Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting, 73 .
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 74 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits ---- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on ---- can help you build a positive body image.
75 . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at. |
B.Be yourself. |
C.Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look. |
D.Just explore talents that you feel good about. |
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?

One day,when the song was finished,Vanessa turned around,46 me in the eye,clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh,yes!” I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment 1 was the one who could not speak.When my heart 4 8 started beating again I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 49 through music we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later,I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 50 on her face and then clapped her hands twice,imitating the song we had 5 1 so many times in our music class.The little girl,52 her connection with music,left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the 53 to learn and grow.It is up to us to 54 the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find each child’s 55 .

Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 1 6:They read below a sixth-grade level,which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives.Among them,Amiya is one.
Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school.She handed her diploma to her mother,who read it to her.“Then when someone asked me to read it,I could remember the things she read,and I knew what I had to say,”recalled Amiya Olden.“When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts,and that is when I really would get upset.1 would see words on the menu but I couldn’t read! ”
But don‘t feel sorry for her. She changed her life by reaching a point where she’d read enough.Two summers ago,she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro Literacy Detroit to improve her reading.Nineteen months ago,she was reading at a second-grade level;now at a fifth-grade level.
Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library,where she checks out books and reads them.She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job.
And she has advice for others,who have trouble reading.
“Don’t give up on it,”she said.“Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes,practice does help.If you really want to be able to go somewhere,go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that,you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go...If you want to succeed in life and grow,you have to read.More important,you have to feel confident that you can.”
