The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet. The camera focused on one man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my comfortable living room. All around was the sound of death.It was clear that world had not noticed this until now. You could hear the sadness in the voice of the reporter, Michael Buerk. At the end of the report he was silent. Paula started crying, then rushed upstairs to check our baby, Fifi, who was sleeping peacefully.I kept seeing the news pictures in my mind. What could I do? I was only a pop singer and by now not a very successful pop singer. All I could do was to make records which no one bought. But I would give all the profits of the next Pats (the name of the music group he was in ) record to Oxfam (an organization in Britain which helps poor people around the world) . What good would that do? It would only be a little money but it was more than I could give just from my bank account. Maybe some people would buy it because the profits were for Oxfam. And I would be protesting about this disaster. But that was not enough.1. What do we learn about the writer from the next? 答案:BA.He felt really bad because the news report made him think of his own hard life.B.After he saw a news report on TV about the famine in Ethiopia, he decided he had to do something about the problem.C.His ideas on how to collect money for the people on Ethiopia were very successful.D.He ideas on how to collect money for the people in Ethiopia were very successful. 2. Which paragraph describes （描写）what he thought about after the report?A.Paragraph 1 B.Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 3. D.None 答案:C3. The word in the third paragraph “profit” meansA.price B.salary C.cost D.money he would make案:D4. From the text we learn that Paula, his wife, 案:BA.gave him ideas about how to helpB.also felt very bad after seeing the reportC.took much more care of their child than heD.wanted him to be a successful signer5. The writer whished that 答案:CA.he would be a very successful pop singer if he could have sold all his recordsB.he would rather give all his money from his bank account than the little money made by making new recordsC.perhaps people would be interested in his records because they knew that the money paid for them would go to OxfamD.he would make records which no one bought阅读二It doesnt matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Thats what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin, who never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.Herpin died at the age of 94.1. The main idea of this passage is that _答案:B A.large numbers of people do not need sleepB.a person was found who actually didnt need any sleepC.everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD.people can live longer by trying not to sleep 2. The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting _ . 答案:BA.to cure him of his sleeplessnessB.to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC.to find out why some old people didnt need any sleepD.to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping3. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin _. 答案:CA.needed some kind of sleep B.was too old to need any sleepC.needed no sleep at all D.often slept in a chair4. One reason that might explain Herpins sleeplessness was_.答案:AA.his mothers injury before he was bornB.that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC.his magnificent physical conditionD.that he hadnt got a bed5. Al Herpins condition could be regarded as_ . 答案:DA.a common one B.one that could be curedC.very healthy D.a rare one阅读三Many sports need the services of one or more referees（裁判）.You will find, for example, referees in swimming, diving, football, skating, basketball, tennis and so on. The referees judgment, no matter what the sport is, can make the difference between winning and losing.When a decision is announced, one can often hear loud cheering from the spectators (观众). Sometimes the people dont agree with the decision .Usually, however, no matter what the people think, the decision of the judge is final. With the instant replay television viewers often get a second chance to watch the special sports moments. Should the camera help the referees in making their decisions? Some people think so. The Japanese have been using the television instant replay in one of their sports for some time.In Japan, where Sumo wrestling is thought by many to be the national sport, a wrestler named Taiho was trying to break Futabayamas record of 69 victories. In the 46 the match, Futabayama was declared the winner by mistake because the judges had not seen the wrestlers foot leave the circle.Soon after the mistake, the people said that they had a right to see the match end with the correct winners since they had paid as much as $ 375 for a ringside seat. Now cameras record the actions of wrestlers .The camera is the most important referee of all. If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgment, the camera will correct it, and the instant replay will let everyone know it. The right winner will win.1. The passage is mainly about _. 案:BA.how to wrestle in Japan B.use of camera as refereeC.watching matches on television D.why Sumo wrestling is fun2. In most sports, the referee _.答案:DA.doesnt count much B.gets paid too muchC.makes no mistakes D.counts much3.

Taiho was trying to _.答案:DA.lose the match quickly B.murder FutabayamaC.help the referee D.break a record阅读四What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is No. It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einsteins ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1. .knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The author says this to show _.答案:CA.the importance of informationB.the difference between carpenters and ordinary peopleC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the importance of thinking2. A sound scientific theory should be one that _.答案:AA.works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other timesB.leaves no room for improvementC.does not allow any change even under different conditionsD.can be used for many purposes3. What is the main idea of the passage? 答案:DA.Scientists are different from the ordinary people.B.The theory of relativity.C.Exactness is the secret of science.D.Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.4. From the passage we can conclude that a scientific theory _答案:AA.can be repeated in testing B.can be true sometimesC.can be tested out under some conditionsD.can be wrong when different tool is used5. How does a common person become a scientist? A.Knowing how to do things.B.Knowing why things change.C.Knowing what the world is. D.Knowing how to show others tools. 答案:A阅读五April 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play tricks on others. If one succeeds in tricking somebody, one laughs and says, “April Fool!”, and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs too.On April 1st, a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped. The driver anxiously turned switches and pressed buttons. But nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with a worried look on his face and said, “This poor bus is getting old. It isnt going as well as it used to. Theres only one thing to do if we want to get home today. I shall count three, and on the word “Three”, I want you all to lean forward suddenly as hard as you can, that should get the bus s
