you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?on a trip to a zoo,perhaps?if you had attended a winter activity in new york a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.these polar bears are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.that day,the air temperature was 3,and the water temperature was a little higher.the members of the polar bear club at coney island,new york are usually about the age of 60.members must satisfy two requirements.first,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.polar bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from november through february. dcotors dont agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. the polar bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.they say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.a person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. the main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.the polar bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.as one 70-year-old woman says,when i go into water,i pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away. （ ）1.the members of the polar bear club must meet the following requirements except that_. a.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months b.they must reach the age of 60 c.they should be easy to make friends with d.they must agree to swim outdoors from november through february （ ）2.according to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_. a.polar bears are bears swimming in freezing water b.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high c.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue d.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter （ ）3.the polar bears like to swim year-round,for_. a.it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter b.they can remain young c.they find it enjoyable and interesting d.they might meet fewer troubles in life （ ）4.the passage is mainly about_. a.the requirements of the polar bear club b.a group of cold-water-swimming livers c.the polar bears life in new york d.doctors ideas about cold-water swimming 4swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life.little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk.in fact,you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. however,i believe that five is the best age to learn.by five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.its wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous. to really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.i feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training. in swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: 1.never swim alone!no matter how good you are in the water,dont risk drowning by swimming alone.if you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble. 2.dont go beyond your abilities.most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive. 3.dont smoke.swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it. 4.work at any activity that builds muscles. （ ）1.little children can learn to swim as soon as _. a.they can talk b.they start walking c.they have no fear of the water d.they are five or six years old （ ）2.the author believes that fear of water is_. a.stupid b.sensible c.dangerous d.not smart （ ）3.the stroke that some young swimmers use first is_. a.picture(1) b.picture(2) c.picture(3) d. picture(4) （ ）4.according to the passage,you should not swim alone because_. a.the water is too cold b.your parents would not be happy c.something in the water might attack d.you might drown 5is there a difference in meaning betweenits too late to make a telephone.mary is asleep now. and its too late to telephone.mary will be asleep now？ yes.the difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.in the first sentencemary is asleep now,the speaker is stating a fact.in the second sentencemary will be asleep now, the speaker is saying what mary usually does.in fact,its possible that mary isnt asleep,but she is usually asleep at this time. so lets take two situations.in the first case,imagine marys mother answers the telephone. you:may i speak to mary,please? mother:no.its too late.mary is asleep now. you: are you sure?its only 10 oclock. mother: yes.i went to her room and she was asleep. the mother knows that mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her. here is another case.two friends decide to telephone mary. jack:lets telephone mary.its 10 oclock. jill:no,its too late.she will be asleep now. jill knows that mary always goes to bed before 10 oclock ,so now shell probably be asleep.but it is also possible that she is staying up late. （ ）1.in the first situation,marys mother_. a.wants to tell you that she knows mary is asleep b.knows that mary was asleep c.has no idea whether mary is asleep or not d.wants to know if she can take a message for mary （ ）2.in the second situation,jill_. a.knows that mary has gone to bed b.doesnt know that mary is asleep c.thinks its likely that mary cannot

from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. i was not able to leave the office, but i had made plans for his arrival. after explaining (解释) where my new house was, i told him that i had left the key under the doormat (门垫). since i knew it would be pretty late before i could get home, i suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(电冰箱). two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. at the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. when i asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. i listened to all this in great surprise. there is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my nextdoor neighbors house! （ ） 1. an old friend of mine called _. a. to tell me to meet him at the airport b. to tell me about his arrival c. to ask me to leave the office d. to ask me to

parties. at least, i dont like birthday parties given for me. i enjoy them when theyre for other people, but when theyre for me, i just dont like them. i remember one birthday party some friends of mine had for me when i was a student at the university. of course, i had told my best friend henry that i didnt want a party and i made him promise he wouldnt do anything. he agreed. i should have known better than to believe him. on the day of my birthday, we got home from school at about, oh, i dont know, three or half past three. we went inside and as usual i went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain (浴帘), a kind of strange female(女) voice started singing, “happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.” and then from all over the room, people joined in. there were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room. they had got my roommates key and got in earlier. they had all planned to come out of the hiding place just at the same time while singing. i guess i really upset their plans by going in just to wash my hands. （ ）1. which of the following sentences is not true? a. i got home from school at 3 or 3:30 on the

friend can help you study. you can have fun together and make each other happy. sometimes you will meet fairweather friends. they will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. how do i know when i have found a good friend? i look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠). above all else, i look for understanding in a friend. a good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. he is not quick to judge. instead, he tries to learn from others. he puts himself in the other persons place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. he is also a good listener. at the same time, however, a good friend is honest. he does not look for faults (过错) in others. he notices their good points. in short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. another quality of a friend is reliability. i can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. if he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, i can be sure that he will be there. if i need a favor, he will do his best to help me. if i am in trouble, he will not run away from me. there is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. a special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. we should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. that is why i especially like friends who are fun to be with. a good friend likes the same things i like. we share experience (经验) and learn from each other. a good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. he likes to laugh with me. that is how we share in the joy of being friends. and i know that he is looking for the same quality in me. when i meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, i know ive found a friend! （ ）1. which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend? a. understanding b. honesty. c. reliability d. a sense of humor. （ ） 2. if you have fairweather friends, _ . a. they will give

in the two countries. after all they speak the same language, dont they? but if you ask a british or an american person, the differences are quite great.what do british people think americans are like? the british think americans are very strange. they make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. they are rich, and they only think about money. but the british do say that americans are kind, friendly people. they are happy to help you if you are in trouble.what do americans think of the british? well, they think the british are cold and very unfriendly. they are not interested in success
