Well, except for the pyramids (金字塔 ) didnt the Egyptian kings live in the pyramids?” Grace just kept silent and pushed me forward. The show set me straight about the pyramids. I learned that they were tombs (墓 ) of the ancient kings, not their 16 . I also found out the great pyramid at Giza was huge, standing 500 feet tall when it was first built! As I walked farther, I was 17 to find a show on ancient sports. I saw paintings showing people playing a game with a ball. Just for a moment, I could 18 ancient Egyptian kids beside the Nile River hitting around a ball, just as I do with my friends. And the next show was all about how the ancient Egyptians treasured their children. A child was considered a great gift to the family. “So what do you think of these 19 ancient people now?” Grace asked. “You were right,” I said. “Ancient Egyptians are much more interesting than I 20 .

Once I was watching something on the Food Network on TV and I thought, I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.” Within a year, he has produced most of the dishes in the cookbook and was ready for a bigger plan. “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started to cook for more people than just my family too.” His family allowed him to build a test kitchen in his bedroom. “At first, they were fine with it, but then they asked, do you want to be sleeping next to a cooker? Yes, I said! It started off as two tables with some simple cookers, my desk and my bed, but then I needed more space for cooking, so I moved the desk out and got a small bed.” Then Garrys older sister, whose bedroom has more space, went off to college. He moved down to her room and filled with a large cooker, four work stations and a long area for finishing the last steps on plates. Garry and his mother set up Eureka, a super club business that organizes monthly events inside his home. Garry, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says hes not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. “At the point in your life where you stop caring if youre going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my heart and people can see it. I hope to keep getting better and better. 24. Why did Garry begin to cook at 11? A. Because his mother loves cooking a lot. B. Because his mother advised him to cook. C. Because he bought a cookbook from the bookstore. D. Because he thought he could do better than his mom. 25. Where was his test kitchen at first? A. In his own bedroom. B. In his sisters bedroom. C. In a famous restaurant. D. In his sisters college. 26. How did his dream come to him? A. He bought many cookbooks. B. He tries hard to be famous. C. He cared much on the skills. D. He keeps his love for cooking. 5 C Have fun and get smarter? We all know about the pleasure and fun that we get from playing video games. Theres the satisfaction of finally reaching the last level of a game after months of trying. Some experts now say that as well as offering pleasure, video games might also be good for you. Too good to be true? It seems that when you play video games, you might get some very important skills. They are great for your concentration (集中注意力 ). Being able to focus is a skill you can use at school or later, in a job. Fitness (健身 ) games, which are very popular, allow you to practise sports skills like balancing. A lot of games also teach decision-making skills. For example when you have to choose the best way to escape from a burning building in a game, youre learning how to solve problems and make your decision quickly. Gaming teaches you about success and failure too. A lot of games are difficult, and you have to work hard to reach the top level, which teaches you that in life you can succeed if you keep on trying. On the other hand, games teach you that if you fail, dont give up have a break, and then try again. Some psychologists (心理学家 ) believe that role-playing games are particularly valuable. In the virtual environment, young people can take on roles which are often not possible for them in real life. You can become a leader, and have to deal with people who lie to you, or hide things from you. By dealing with these situations, you can develop social skills that might help you in the real world when youre older. Gaming does have its disadvantages, of course. Playing for a while is great, but people who play for hours can have problems. Physically, it can stop you from getting enough exercises, which is unhealthy. Psychologically, some players can become addicted (上瘾 ) to their games and begin to prefer their “virtual” lives, where they are always in control. But overall, playing video games is not harmful, unless you spend too much time. While youre building your city, or looking after your farm in a game, youre also developing skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life. 27. What does the underlined word “virtual” mean? A. Unclear. B. Unreal. C. Valuable. D. Possible. 28. How does the writer think of video games? A. Theyre harmful to our study and work. B. They give us chances to realize our dream. C. Playing video games is bad for our health. D. Video games can benefit us in many ways. 29. What does gaming teach us about success and failure? A. Avoid the difficult top levels. B. Choose the best way to play. C. Believe in hard trying for success. D. Get enough rest after each failure. 6 D The results are not surprising: The monkeys are cold. But the researchers also found that bathing in a hot-spring may lower the monkeys levels of stress. “This shows that, as in humans, the hot spring has a stress-reducing effect in snow monkeys,” said Rafaela Takeshita, the study lead writer. “This habit of hot spring bathing by snow monkeys showed how animals behavior can help fight against cold-climate stress,” Takeshita said. Snow monkeys live in very cold place in the world. They are especially used to living in the cold; they grow thicker and longer fur in the winter. In 1963, a female Japanese snow monkey living in Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano, Japan, was seen bathing in an outdoor hot spring belonging to a nearby hotel, and other monkeys soon copied this behavior, the researchers said. As you might imagine, a group of monkeys bathing in a hot spring meant to hold people made people feel the hot spring dirty, so the park management built a new hot spring just for the monkeys. By 2003, about a third of the snow monkeys living in this park often bathed in the hot spring in the winter. The bathing monkeys are now already a popular tourist attraction. The bathing monkeys seemed to be bathing to stay warm, but scientists had no data to support this theory, they said. In the new study, the researchers collected data from 12 adult female monkeys in Jigokudani Monkey Park between April and June, and again from October to December. They examined how much time the monkeys spent in the hot spring, and also studied the data for “fecal glucocorticoid” , a metbolite（代谢物） , related to the levels of stress in monkeys. The researchers found that female snow monkeys did use the hot spring more often in the winter than in the spring, especially during colder weeks. The researchers also found that the dominant (统领 ) females spent the most time bathing because they need more energy to keep their position. They also have a higher level stress. The researchers concluded that hot-spring bathing becomes a tradition that provides physiological (生理的 ) benefits to the monkeys. 30. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Snow monkeys in spring B. Snow monkeys with a new habit C. Snow monkeys in winter D. Snow monkeys under heavy stress 31. How does Rafaela think of snow monkeys behavior? A. Its a natural tradition. Snow monkeys have been discovered taking baths in man-made hot springs during winter in recent years. Now, researchers have found exactly why the monkeys do this. 7 B. Its a tourist attraction. C. It helps them get used to the environment. D. It makes them feel the position is important. 32. What do the experiments carried in two different periods show? A. The female snow monkeys enjoy bathing in winter more. B. The number of hot-spring bathing snow monkeys grows. C. The experiments are easier to carry out in winter months. D. The bathing habits of the dominant male snow monkeys. 33. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage? A. Some snow monkeys are copying humans behaviors. B. Snow monkeys are happy to live in very cold weather. C. Researchers found old snow monkeys enjoy hot springs. D. Hot-spring bathing helps lower humans and animals stress. 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分） My Mother, My Role Model My mom is one of the most important people in my life and what makes her so special is that she seems to have no idea how encouraging she is. She has led our family and guided my brothers and sisters and me simply by being herself. She leads by example, showing us her values and making sure we live by our own. She carries out this example by pushing us to do our first volunteer work when I was only seven, and she joined in herself. She pushes us to treat everyone we meet with respect and I have never heard of her speaking ill of others or putting someone down. She cares for the people she loves from the bottom of her heart and always puts our needs before those of her own. My mother herself is easy-going and selfless and works hard to connect and understand each of her children to make sure we are able to laugh at ourselves and never take life too seriously. She strongly believes in treating everyone equally (平等的 ), but not completely in the same way. She could always find the right way for the different child so that everyone can get the most from her advice. She looks to the goal of making us independent, successful, and capable (有能力的 ) in the world and while she encourages me to work through difficulties, she also hardly ever pushes her ideas onto me. She is always there supporting me whether I win or lose, pass or fail. She is my leadership role model
