cold night, i was growing sick of my life in san francisco there i was walking home around practice at the theatre with the opening night only at one o clock in the morning after a 1 week away, i was still learning my lines by heart. i was having 2 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time.as i walked, i thought seriously about 3 both acting and san francisco. i had 4 too much of city life. as i walked down the 5 streets under the tall buildings, i felt very small and cold, so i began 6 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. very few people were still out 7 a few homeless people under blankets. about a block from my 8 , i heard a sound behind me. i 9 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. the street was empty. all i saw was a shining streetlight. still, the noise had made me 10 so i started to run faster. not until i reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did i 11 what the noise had been. it had been my wallet 12 to the sidewalk. suddenly i wasnt cold or tired anymore. i ran out of the door and back to where id heard the noise. although i searched the sidewalk 13 for 15 minutes, my wallet was 14 to be found. just as i was about to quit the 15 , i heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 16 . when a voice came from the inside, “alisa camcho?” i thought i was dreaming. how could this man know my name? the door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 17 look in his eyes. “is this 18 youre looking for?” he asked, holding up something like a wallet. it was already 3 a.m. by the time i got into bed. i couldnt get much sleep, but i had got my wallet back. i also had got back some 19 of city life. i realized the city couldnt be a bad place 20 people were willing to help each other. 1acomfortablebseriousctiresome dfortunate 2acomfort bdesire cpain dtrouble 3asetting up bgiving up cholding up dpicking up 4aexpected bchanged ccontrolled

the materials inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. the material, made from shrimp （虾） shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. it is thin, clear, flexible and strong.a major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. plastics toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 60s.decades later，however, plastics very durability （耐用性） is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. what is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years？shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer （肥料），and so will enrich the soil.shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. that makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. the inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so theyre exploring ways to use it in wet environments. theyre also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. theyre even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.1. paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilks_ .a .remarkable designb. interesting namec. major featuresd. basic elements2. what has become a concern about plastic?a. using it properly.b. producing it cheaply.c. developing its properties quickly.d. evaluating its contributions fairly.3. according to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_ .a. it can help plastic degradeb. it can be found in living thingsc. its mass production has been realizedd. its raw materials are abundant in nature4. what are the inventors doing in the lab?a. replacing carbon fibers with shrilk. b. testing shrilks use in wet conditions.c. making shrilk out of used household goods. d. improving shrilks flexibility for medical purposes.5.which of the following can be the best title for the passage?a. recent progress in environmental protection b. benefits of insects in scientific researchc. the harm of one-time products d.a possible alternative to plasticbhere is your best chance to travel around the uk in 2012:more than 200 b&bs (bed & breakfast) across england, scotland, wales and northern ireland are selected to offer

more adventurous than his brother. he loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“dad will be really mad if he finds out youve been playing with his new computer.”jason said, “he told us not to touch it.”“he wont find out.”mark said, “ill just have a quick look and shut it down.”mark had been scolded before for touching his fathers equipment. but his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.it was a strange-looking machineone his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “its an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so dont touch it under any circumstances.”but his fathers warning only served to make mark more curious. without any further thought, mark turned on the power switch. the computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen:“space transporter.”“yes!”mark cried excitedly, “its a computer game. i knew it! dads only been pretending to work. hes really been playing games instead.”a new message appeared on the screen:“enter namesvoyager 1：.voyager 2：.”marks fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“input accepted.start transport program. auto-retrieve initiated (自动回收程序已启动).”the screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“i think wed better shut it off, mark,” jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. he was really frightened.but his hand never reached the switch. a single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow （光芒）,until they themselves seemed to be glowing. then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. and the boys were no longer there. on the screen, the letters changed.“transport successful.destination (目的地)：mars.retrieve date:2025.” 10. why did mark touch the computer against his fathers warning?a. he wanted to take a voyage.b. he wanted to practice his skill.c. he was so much attracted by it.d. he was eager to do an experiment.11. where did the boys father most likely work?a. in an electronic factory.b. in

c. a software producerd. an astronomy program13. why did jason want to shut off the computer?a. he was afraid of being scolded. b. he didnt like the loud noise and light.c. he didnt want to play games any more. d. he was afraid something dangerous might happen.14. what happened to the boys at the end of the story?a. they were blown into the air. b. they were sent to another planet.c. they were

thursday，when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space，yang liweis smile was seen across the world above the magic words: chinas first spaceman. the 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. last wednesday by chinas shenzhou v spacecraft，which went around the earth 14 times. he landed safely at 6:23 a.m. the next day, making china the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former soviet union and the us. yang was satisfied with his job. i have seen many landing scenes before on video，and i think ours was one of the most successful， he said on a special plane to beijing after landing. born into an ordinary family in liaoning province，he became a pilot in the chinese air force in 1987，spending 1,350 hours in the air. he joined the chinese space programme 11 years later. while in space, yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing chinas national flag and the united nations flag to the people watching on tv at home. he also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice，before taking a 3-hour nap. the whole project went according to plan， but space exploration is not as easy as it seems. anyone who saw the destruction of the us space shuttle（航天飞机）columbia on february this year will know that yang took a great risk. he experienced extremely (=very) high temperatures，while the gravitational forces (重力) on take-off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes. he has spent five years training to become a spaceman. i eat all of my meals at the space programmes dining room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten (幼儿园), he said. ive never met his teachers. but becoming chinas first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile (值得的). when i boarded (=got on) the spacecraft for the first time, i couldnt help feeling excited, he said. i decided that i had to fly it. to chinese people, yang is now a hero. one visitor to a xinhua news agency online forum (网上论坛) said: yangs trip is a giant leap (巨大的飞跃) forward for china. china also plans to develop space walking and a space lab.15. what is the main idea of the story?a. chinas first manned space flight. b. a hero with great courage.c. the first chinese man in space. d. how yang liwei became chinas first spaceman.16. how long did each of yangs orbits take on average?a. 1 hour. b. 1.5 hours. c. 6 hours. d. the story didnt mention.17. why did the writer use giant leap in the title?a. because the space flight marked chinas great progress in the field of pace exploration.b. because yang said it was a giant leap for mankind when he was in shenzhou vc. because the space flight was a huge success. d .both a and b ewhen you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.1) look in the mirror and say to yourself, i am a special person and theres no one in the world like me. i can do anything! it may not sound so good, but it really works!2) do something nice for someone. helping others always makes you feel good.3) smile! be friendly to people you meet. look for the good things in your friends and family.4) learn something new! have you always wanted to decorate your own room or learn how to swim? go for it ! new challenges(挑战)are fun and give you a sense of accomplishment when you have finished.5) read and start a diary. turn off the tv and
