The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many peoples diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needsfolic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.51.A good title for this reading passage is_.A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth about SpinachC. A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong52.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong. B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron. D. People liked folic acid.53.A research group told people that spinach_.A. made Popeye strong B. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetables D. had more iron than other green vegetables54.Folic acid is _.A. something in food B. a vegetable C. dangerous D. a certain kind of spinachBIn the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a veterinary(兽医的) hospital that was run by a family friend in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turned out, the experience I gained at the hospital taught me the opposite: that my future was not in veterinary medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we frequently had people come in who just could not pay for the most basic treatments. On this Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the nearest animal shelter was，his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but only saw people perform acts of kindness on TV or in movies. The woman in the vets office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant (犹豫的) to be the first person to help someone who is in need, I remember this woman, and have the courage to step up to the plate. Sometimes other people follow.55.Why did the author work at the veterinary hospital?A. He thought he would work there in the future.B. He wanted to learn some skills in treating animals.C. He wanted to get some money for his schooling.D. He wanted to gain some future work experience.56.What does the underlined phrase “Out of the blue” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Out of order.B. All of a sudden.C. Now and then. D. First of all.57.From the second paragraph, we can know that_.A. most people who went to this veterinary hospital were very poorB. nobody paid for the small cats medicine and examC. the mans young son didnt want to keep the small catD. the woman took away the small cat with her at last58.The example of the woman made the author_.A. think helping others can be shown on TVB. believe the woman was once shown on TVC. think few acts of kindness exist in real lifeD. have the courage to help others activelyCPeople like different kinds of vacations. Some go camping. They swim, fish, cook over a fire and sleep outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Taj Mahal or the Louvre.Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They dont want to be “tourists”. They want to have an adventure surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people, too. How can they do this? Some travel companies and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of hardships(困难), but theyre a lot of fun. One organization, Earthwatch, sends small groups of volunteers to different parts of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Some work with animals. Others learn about people of the past.Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volunteers is leaving from Murmansk, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. Hes worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need to ski sixteen kilometers every day.Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins(海豚). Dolphins can follow orders such as “Bring me the large ball”. They also understand the opposites. How much more can they understand? It will be exciting to learn about these intelligent animals. These beautiful animals travel together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers, grandmothers and greatgrandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earthwatch is studying how this happens.Are you interested in history? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano(火山) exploded there, on Santorini. This explosion was more terrible than Krakatoa or Mount Saint Helens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people at that time. There are houses, kitchens, and paintings as interesting as those in Pompeii. Today teams of volunteers are learning more about people of the past.Do you want a very different vacation? Do you want to travel far, work hard and learn a lot? Then an Earthwatch vacation is for you.59. The Taj Mahal in Paragraph 1 is probably _.A. a shopping center B. a hotelC. a dancing hallD. a place of interest60.From the passage, on an adventure trip, people _.A. may not spend much time on sightseeing tripsB. wont meet some difficulties or hardshipsC. cant enjoy themselvesD. cant learn anything61.If you want to learn something about people of the past, you can _.A. join the team to HawaiiB. join the team to the Far NorthC. join the team to WashingtonD. join the team to Greece62.Which of the following is NOT true?A. Some people find sightseeing trips boring.B. Earthwatch is planning all these special adventures.C. The number of dolphins is decreasing.D. Three volcano explosions in all broke out 3,500 years ago in Santorini.DIn American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs. Franklin lived in the seventeen hundreds. He was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer.For many years, Franklin published a book called Poor Richards Almanack. He included many proverbs that he had heard or created. Some of them are still used today. Like this one: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” This means that money should not be wasted.Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say, “All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.Another proverb about love is, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away. But other people say, “Out of sight, out of mind.” You may not even think about that person when he or she is not with you. Which of these proverbs do you think is most true?Another proverb says “Love is blind.” In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a mans heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a mans love if she prepares his favorite foods.Another proverb is true in love and war or other situations: “Actions speak louder than words.” It means that what you do is more important than what you say.Sadly, we have no more time for this program. So we must say, “All good things must come to an end.”63.
