At one time, the Iroquois Indians lived along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York.The five tribes (部落) — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca — fought with each other for years. In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream.In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars.An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area.Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace.The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area. The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together.They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.A Great Council was formed.Fortynine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council.The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes.The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained selfgoverning. In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them.The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area.They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky.The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years. Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British.After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed.The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地)．This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful. History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the People” and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”．The Iroquois League’s constitution is often called America’s first democracy. 1.The underlined word “voice” in Paragraph 3 could probably be replaced by“________”． A. sound B. power C. saying D. speech 2.According to the text, the Iroquois League ________. A. consisted of six tribes in the 17th century B. became weak after the War of Independence C. helped the Americans defeat the British D. was greatly supported by the Americans 3.The political system of the Iroquois League ________. A. was ignored by American history experts B. had nothing to do with the “Bill of Rights” C. influenced the United States Constitution D. was entitled “Rights of the People” 4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Iroquois League B. The American Indians C. The culture of the Iroquois D. The United States Constitution

The dramatic expansion of industrial agriculture has made it increasingly difficult for small family farmers in the US to stay in business.Instead, the food industry has become dominated by a handful of giant corporations which benefit from government policies that favor largescale production. Family farmers are being forced out of business at an alarming rate.According to Farm Aid, every week 330 farmers leave their land.As established family farms are shut down, they are not being replaced by new farms and young farmers.Once a family farm is forced out of business, the farmland is often sold for development, and the quality land for farming is lost. ________________ In addition to producing fresh, highquality foods, small family farms provide a wealth of benefits for their local communities and regions.Perhaps most importantly, family farmers serve as responsible stewards (管理人) of the land.Unlike industrial agriculture operations, which pollute communities with chemical pesticides, smoke and manure (肥料), small family farmers live on or near their farms and try to protect the surrounding environment for future generations. Independent family farms also play a vital role in rural economies.In addition to providing jobs for local people, family farmers also help support small businesses by purchasing goods and services within their communities.Meanwhile, industrial agriculture operations employ as few workers as possible and typically purchase supplies, equipment, and building materials from outside the local community.Rural areas are then left with high rates of unemployment and very little opportunity for economic growth. What can you do? Purchase food directly from your local family farmers at a farmers’ market, or through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system. Ask the manager of your grocery store to supply foods produced at local family farms. Donate money to Farm Aid.Since 1985, this nonprofit organization has worked to support America’s family farmers. 1.We can learn from the first paragraph that ________. A. American agriculture is facing a downturn B. the American government is limiting industrial agriculture C. the American food industry has difficulty meeting customers’ needs D. American family farmers are facing serious problems 2.What would be the best title to be put in the blank? A. Why are family farms important? B. What does industrial agriculture bring? C. How are family farms run? D. What supports rural economies? 3.According to the passage, industrial agriculture has all the following disadvantages EXCEPT ________. A. polluting the environment B. taking up too much land C. employing fewer people D. harming local economy 4.The passage was written mainly to call for people to ________. A. make a donation to Farm Aid B. protect the environment C. protest against industrial agriculture D. protect family farms

Larry Ritsema was out for an early morning jog around his neighborhood on one weekend.On a quiet street, he began to feel weak.Suddenly, everything went black.Larry fell to the ground. Less than a minute later, Tom Alguire passed by on his bicycle.He caught sight of a man lying on the roadside, so he jumped off his bike and ran over.He recognized Larry immediately, because he had been Larry’s doctor for nearly 20 years. Dr Tom felt for a pulse at first.Finding none, he began to give Larry first aid.It wouldn’t restart Larry’s heart, but it would keep the blood flowing until someone else arrived.Tom could only hope someone would come by soon, around six o’clock in the morning on a holiday weekend.Tom couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest to run for help — Larry’s brain cells would die without the blood.And Tom didn’t have a mobile phone with him. Soon, a car did drive by.But the driver ignored Tom’s appeal for help.What was he going to do? Tom was very worried.Finally, another car came down the road, driven by Michael Saliot, a US Coast Guard Officer.Michael wasn’t one to pass up a chance to help a person in need.He quickly dialed 911.

For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature! The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing I’m singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress. Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre. If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play. 1.The underlined part “to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”． A. unsuccessful B. unrelated C. uninteresting D. unexpected 2.In the author’s opinion, ________. A. a bath can make people relaxed B. depression is usually caused by hard work C. walking in a busy city centre harms people’s health D. it’s good for adults to wake up their inner children when they are in low spirits 3.The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) ________. A. explanation B. suggestion C. introduction D. reminder

1.Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano! 2.Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 3. Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters. 4.However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things .Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do? Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 5.. Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad — it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you. A．You can train your temper. B．You don’t want to cause trouble. C．Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones. D．Everybody gets angry sometimes. E．In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry. F．Instead of thinking of the person you’re angry with, think of something else. G．Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.

The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole. Like Antarctica, the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading －125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero. One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature — the killing chill of far North and the polar South. To survive, men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the belowzero temperatures. Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive. What about animals? Can they survive? Do we find plants? Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica? Yes, we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land. Antarctica, as we have seen, is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition (探险) scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have been much like our own. Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive. 1.The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded ________. A. in Antarctica B. in the Arctic C. at the North Pole D. in the polar region 2.The main reason why it is almost impossible for men to live in the Arctic and Antarctica is that ________. A. they are frozen B. they are wasted C. there are no life there D. they are extremely cold 3.Polar explorers can stay alive there because they ________. A. stay inside the building there B. have their own way to keep warm C. are stronger than other people D. have no heaters and windproof shelters 4.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The Arctic is colder than Antarctica. B. The history of the Arctic and Antarctica. C. The discovery in the Arctic and Antarctica. D. The environmental features in polar regions.

One winter, my cousin and I were playing toy blocks in the yard. My mom was out for shopping to get groceries and my dad was asleep upstairs in his room. Suddenly, it started to snow. First it was just a little. But then it started to pour heavily. Then, we put the finishing touches to our blocks and headed back inside. Right when I opened the sliding glass door, my cousin fell down on the slippery wooden stairs. I let go of the door, my worst mistake, you see. The door locks automatically but I had put a rock, right next to the door so it wouldn’t close. But while I was running to my cousin’s aid I’d accidentally kicked the rock. Now, my cousin and I were locked outside. And unfortunately it started to get really windy. It was really freezing with the snow. First we started to call my dad, but he was sleeping soundly. I mean, slept through a tornado soundly. It was of no use. Then I tried to climb over the fence but it didn’t work because the fence was iced by snow and wind, and the fence is six feet high. So, I climbed up to my tree house and brainstormed some ideas on ways to get in. At one point, I was seriously considering jumping out of the tree house and using the trampoline (蹦床) to jump over the fence. So, we got to work. First, I took out the trampoline. Then I started to jump. First try — I almost cracked my head. Second try — this time I convinced my cousin to do it but at the last second, he chickened_out. Third try — I jumped and missed but at the last second, my hand caught the fence, and with a lot of pushing I finally climbed over the fence and luckily, I fell on a big snowdrift. Then I got inside and unlocked the door for my cousin to get in. Finally, my mom came back. Then we shared this story with my mom and dad. 1.When the author wanted to jump in, the main problem was that________. A. the fence was icy B. the fence was slippery and high C. the trampoline couldn’t bear the weight D. the trampoline was too small 2.The attitude of the author’s cousin towards jumping on the trampoline seems________. A. passive B. positive C. indifferent D. objective 3.The words “chickened out” (Paragraph 5) most probably mean “________”． A. fell down B. cried out C. jumped up D. backed out 4.Which would be the best title of the text? A. Climbing over the Fence in the Snow B. An Adventure in the Yard C. Friendship Produces Pleasure D. We Are Independent

Forest Schools originated in Sweden in the 1950s and spread to other countries, particularly Denmark where they have become an important part of the Danish early years program. In a typical Danish Forest School, young children from 3 years are taken into the forest for 4 hours each day of the week. They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are childled and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at which they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, children’s independence and confidence grow. A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better coordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell. The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25% fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment. 1.What kind of activities do the Forest School children have? A. Activities usually played by braver kids. B. Activities which are designed for adults. C. Gradeimproving activities. D. Activities with fun and a certain level of danger. 2.The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because ________. A. they have more interesting things to do B. they are accompanied by adults C. they are not disturbed so often D. they are playing in small groups 3.What does the last paragraph intend to tell us? A. Why the Forest School children are healthier. B. The Forest School children have a healthy diet. C. What affects the city children. D. Why the Forest School children have less stress. 4.Which of the following best describes the Forest School children? A. Free and wild. B. Confident and happy. C. Polite and calm. D. Strong and adventurous.

Penguins (企鹅) live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbour’s ground, it must ask permission. If it does not do that, it will have to fight. Most of the time, penguins live on the water. They eat shellfish and look after their children carefully. All penguins are good parents — the male penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives in the dark.They can only hear them — not see them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males take care of the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls heavily and the wind blows strongly — sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters — the eggs. Male penguins never fight — unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. They then fight because they all want it.They are strange and wonderful birds. 1.It seems interesting and unusual that the male penguins choose their wives ________. A. when the female penguins return from the sea B. just by hearing in the darkness C. each time they see the lovely females D. after they have had their own grounds 2.From the passage we know that ________. A. penguins live a hard life B. penguins live in pairs C. penguins will fight if they walk through others’ ground without permission D. each penguin has a little piece of ground of his/her own 3.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can infer that ________. A. penguins like nights very much B. there is no daytime in that place at all C. the weather is cloudy and rainy all the year around D. the sun can’t shine there at that time
