Its always on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Usually, thats around June or July. It is celebrated in memory of a Chinese patriotic(爱国的) poet named Qu Yuan. Both children and adults like this holiday. On the Dragon Boat Festival, first, there are dragon boat races. Dragon boats are very long. They are painted in bright colors. In each boat, there are many people rowing(划船). There is also somebody beating a drum(鼓). To win the race, a person in the boat must grab(夺取) the flag at the finish line. The winners of the races get big trophies(奖品) and money. Races take place all over China. For example, there are races in rivers and streams in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Many people go to these places to watch the races. Many other people watch the races on television. Second, people eat Zongzi(a kind of rice dumpling) on the Dragon Boat Festival. In making Zongzi, people can add sugar, peanuts, eggs or meat. It is a very delicious food.1. When is the Dragon Boat Festival?A. Every May fifth.B.

Zongzi C. noodle D. steamed stuffed bun(包子) B People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook.This bees a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time. Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a childs sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.” There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved, even if we are the ones doing the cooking!

C Suddenly another thought went through Kates mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the stationmaster,”Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else. In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream. At last-she never knew how long it had taken her-she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost. She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the stationmaster was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh,please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly. The stationmaster went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.9. What did Kate decide to do?A. Visit the stationmaster. B. Check the signal light.C Meet the passengers. D. Stop the express train. 10. Which of the following words best describes Kates journey?A. Fruitless. B. Risky. C. Well-planned. D. Boring.11. Why did the stationmaster turn pale?A. He suddenly fell ill. B. He realized the danger.C He discovered his mistake. D. He became overexcited.D Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its own. Only he and his family are wele there. No other families of the same species are wele. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are wele. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at the nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.12. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _.A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warningC.an expression of anger D. a way of greeting13. What is a birds “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.14. Why do birds keep on singing at the nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps to frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps to get rid of their fears.15. How does the writer explain birds singing?A. By paring birds with human beings.B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds daily life.D. By telling a birds story.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. _16_ working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.
