A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? But he discovered that it was a rattrap (捕鼠夹）. Going back to the farmyard, the rat started to give a warning. The rat turned to the pig and told him:“There is a rattrap in the house, a rattrap in the house!” “I’m sorry, Mr. Rat,” said the pig, “I can only say this is something terrible to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered with it.” The rat turned to the cow. But the cow said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat? A rattrap? I am in danger, Huh?” The rat returned to the house, head down and dejected. So the rat had to face the farmer's rattrap alone. That very night, a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rattrap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.In the darkness, she did not notice that it was a poisonous snake whose tail had been caught by the trap. The snake bit her.The farmer rushed her to hospital. She returned home with a fever. Everyone knows that a fever could be treated with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his knife to the farmyard for the soup. However, his wife's sickness continued. The farmer's friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. But she didn't get well. Finally, she died, and so many people came for the last sight that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them. So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that the whole farmyard is at risk when there is a rattrap in the house. 1.From the passage we know that ______.

If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 1. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _________. A．provide some key facts about Confucius B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject C．show great respect for the ancient thinker D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations 2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students_________. A．fight for a chance to learn Chinese B．try to get high scores in Chinese exams C．have a great interest in studying Chinese D．take an active part in Chinese competitions 3. What is the best title for the passage? A．Forgotten Wisdom in America B．Old Thinker with a Big Future C．Chinese Culture for Westerners D．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language 4. The passage is likely to appear in _________. A．a biography B．a history paper C．a newspaper D．a philosophy textbook

Some young Cambodians are learning a new sport — skateboarding. The country’s first skateboard park is located on the grounds of a local charity group at the edge of Phnom Penh, the capital. Sports like Khmer boxing and soccer are wildly popular in Cambodia. But Chea, who has been skating for 6 months, says skating has already become his favorite sport. The skaters are learning tricks like launching off a jump or half-pipe and flying through the air on their narrow wooden boards. A non-governmental organization called Skateistan Cambodia organizes weekly programs at the park. Skateistan started its work in Afghanistan years ago. Rory Burke is working with the group which expanded to Cambodia last year. Rory Burke points out, “Yeah, it’s definitely not a typical Cambodian pastime (消遣). And I think the idea of ‘why skateboarding’ is that it’s not been done before here. We want to use skateboarding as something saying, ‘Hey, this is new, this is something different.And that kind of itself becomes a little bit of hook. People see it and they think and they say, ‘Wow, what is that?’ and they want to get involved. ” Skateistan partners with local groups that work with young people. The park is on the grounds of the group known as PSE, where children attend school and learn a trade. There are almost one hundred twenty participants. They all come from troubled lives. Seventeen-year-old Sang Rotha is a student at PSE. “Sometimes I don’t do well in subjects like math,” he says, “I feel bad when I find it hard to keep up with my lessons. So that is why I skateboard ---to improve my bad feelings. ’， He says he began skateboarding more than a year ago. Before he started training, it seemed very easy. But it was very difficult to learn tricks, and he got hurt a lot from falling off. Rory Burke says learning to deal with the difficulties is part of the lesson for these young skateboarders. 1. According to the passage, PSE is a group ______. A．that works with Cambodian students B．for young Cambodians to learn a trade C．for young Cambodians in troubled lives D．for young Cambodians taking skateboarding 2. What is said about skateboarding in the passage? A．It was born in Afghanistan years ago. B．It is easy for young Cambodians to learn. C．It is as popular as Khmer boxing in Cambodia. D．It is a good sport to help get good feeling again. 3.The underlined part alittle bit of hook probably means ______. A．something strange B．something quite new C．something different D．something attractive 4. It can be inferred from the passage that skateboarding is becoming ______. A．a sport liked by most young Cambodians B．an increasingly popular sport in Cambodia C．a sport used to better young Cambodians’ life D．a good way to train young Cambodians’ learning skills

“NOW I just don't believe that. ”Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It's simply badly researched，or the makers must think we're fools. Recently, The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on untrue tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about. Tom Chiver, the writer of The Daily Telegraph uses his first example from the movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus（病毒）which destroys Windows the computer system the alien （外星人）spacecraft uses. “It's a good thing that they didn't have Norton Anti-virus，” jokes Chivers. It's just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from the movie Star Wars, where the glowing light beams (光束）traveling through space look very impressive. But the problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子）for the light to reflect off. In reality, they'd be invisible（看不见的）, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen. Most people think that the mind—bending Matrix films are made for great viewing. But for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little bit silly. He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generators (发电机). This is not just unlikely —it's basically impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It's just like saying that you'll power the car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a generator from the wheels. ” And finally, as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the bad guy has “gene treatment” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible in our real world. 1.Which of the following does the writer agree with about the movie Independence Day? A．It's a science fiction movie. B．It's about the alien spacecraft. C．It's produced by Tom Chiver. D．It's a jokey and humorous one. 2. What is mainly talked about in the 4th paragraph? A．How we can power the car with batteries. B．How Tom Chiver thinks of the Matrix films. C．How humans are kept alive as power generator. D．How the Matrix films are made for great viewing. 3.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．The movie Star Wars is about the light beams in space. B．The author doesn't take the science in movies seriously. C．Nowadays nobody believes in science movies any more. D．There is a horrible virus in the movie Independence Day. 4.The underlined word “They” in the 4th paragraph refers to ______. A．human beings B．car wheels C．Matrix films D．electricity generators
