阅读理解。     Bridge of Hope School is a private school. It was set up in Kalangala about two years
ago.Unlike government schools, which have very large classes of 90 children , many of
whom do not want to learn, Bridge has small classes, so pupils get a great deal of attention.
Small classes are good for teaching, but the school is always having difficulty with money
since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time.
     The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes(幼儿班). As the children
progress through the school they will add another class next year. The total number of children
in the primary is about 50. The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those
that attend government schools. They want their children to have the best education available.
     The school is not yet finished. The classrooms have no windows or doors. But it is very
formal and insists on children wearing uniforms(制服).Discipline is strict and the children are
well-behaved. Only English may be spoken and not the local language. Although English is
the national language and the language of education, government schools teach in their own
language for the first three years.
     School starts at 7 am and the children have to be on time. Classes are formal, but children
have to copy lots of things from the blackboard, because there are few textbooks, sometimes
only one for the teacher to use. Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week.
They also study during the holiday.1. Parents send their children to Bridge of Hope School because they______.A. think the school environment is better there

阅读理解。     Space travel is definitely bad for astronauts" bones, reducing their bone density(密度)
after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.
     Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research
into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station
showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.
     "Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, " the scientists reported in the Lancet
Medical Journal.
     They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the forearm(前臂) and
lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.
     The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone,
but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. "Our results indicate the need to
investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all
sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions, " they added.
     Without gravity the body isn"t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙)
which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.
     The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone
density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after
returning to Earth.1. French scientists did their research on Russian astronauts, because _______.A. they only cared for the Russian astronauts
B. they were not interested in their own astronauts

B. The drinks they take in space.
C. The temperature in space.
D. The gravity in space.4. In the third paragraph, the underlined word "striking" means ______.A. unusual

阅读理解      Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways. Most have ten fingers and ten toes, and brains
much like ours. In fact, Charles Darwin"s theory of evolution says that monkeys and humans share
a common ancestor. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to
use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language This is why many monkey expressions
are about tricky people or playful acts.
      Monkeyshine is one of these expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. The meaning is clear if
you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other:pulling tails, stealing food,
doing tricks.
Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. When you feel
like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeying around. It is just a way
to pass the time.
      Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities You may come across a news
report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting
secret payments from builders.
     Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years in many
American cities, you would find men playing musical hand organs on the street. Dancing to the music
would be the man"s small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military
uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit. 1. Which of the following is NOT true about the similarities between humans and monkeys?A. Most monkeys have ten fingers and ten toes.

阅读理解     Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the
needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world"s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
    In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources
on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man"s needs.
    The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man"s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations
have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready
to be mined.
    Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people
in China.
    Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
    Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the
problems that prevent us from exploiting (开发) fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea
will be largely solved.1. The major things that the sea offers man are _________.  A. fish and oil
B. minerals and oil
C. warm temperature and ocean currents
D. the food, energy sources, and minerals2. We can conclude from this passage that _________.   A. the sea resources have largely been used up
B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed
C. the problems preventing our using the resources of the sea have already been solved.
D. by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources.3. The underlined words "Oriental people" in the fourth paragraph probably mean _________.A. the people in Asia
B. African people
C. European people
D. American people4. The best title for this passage is _________. A. Sea Food
B. Technology for Exploiting the Sea
C. Sea Harvest
D. Man, nature and the Sea

阅读理解。                                          Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
     Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The
generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and
performance were played down because "everyone"s winner." And their report cards
sounded more positivethan ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol
Dweck, PhD, calls them "the overpraised generation."
     Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research
has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we
react to it. Here"s how they work:
     A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic - you"re a born
artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it"s sure to succeed
without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it"s
quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
     On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent
and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn"t on t
he line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When
faced with a difficulty, it"s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this
experience.
     We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn"t be able to live in
the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by
encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck"s book, Mind-set: The New
Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she
says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children,
grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.1. What does the author think about the present generation?_____.A. They don"t do well at school.
B. They are often misunderstood.
C. They are eager to win in sports.
D. They are given too much praise.2. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ______ .A. doesn"t want to work hard
B. cares a lot about personal safety
C. cannot share his ideas with others
D. can succeed with the help of teachers3. What does the growth mind-set believe?_______.A. Admitting failure is shameful.
B. Talent comes with one"s birth.
C. Scores should be highly valued.
D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.4. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck"s study?______A. Encourage them to learn from failures.
B. Prevent them from making mistakes.
C. Guide them in doing little things.
D. Help them grow with praise.
