A
“How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?”
How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago? And now! you can google it and find the answer immediately!
Google is the most popular Int ernet search engine in the world. It was invented by two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1993, when they were studying computer science at Stanford University, USA. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.
Internet seach engines at that time were slow and gave many websites that weren't useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites.
Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their own money. They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $100,000, and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend's garage. The company's name is Google, a word which comes from mathematics. A “google” is a very high number----1 followed by a hundred zeros.
The google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worl dwide because it was fast, easy and correct. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service, from sport to science, and from music to medicine. Google hopes that in the future all the world's information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything.

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa.It is also the second largest lake in the world.It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River.Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries.Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem.It is shrinking.There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda.These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level.For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters.Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters.There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱).Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000.Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria.Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000.Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria.As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same.This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life.People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake.Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food.Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water.Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer.Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die.
21.Lake Victoria is __________.
A.an important lake in Africa.
B.the largest lake in the world.
C.the source of water, food and power for America.
D.the only source for the Nile River.
22.W hat does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean?
A.It is becoming larger.
B.It is becoming more beautiful.
C.It is becoming smaller.
D.It is becoming more useful.
23.The water level of Lake Victoria is now __________.
A.2.5 meters
B.11.9 meters
C.14.4 meters
D.9.4 meters
24.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Rain water is the only source for the lake.
B.There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.
C.The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.
D The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000.
25.According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?
A.People must build more power plants.
B.More sources of water must be found.
C.Every country should offer some money to Africa.
D.All the people living in the area should move to another place.
C
Over the years I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful spirit—the ant philosophy (哲学). I think we should study ants.
Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part:they never give up. That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over, and they’ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy to never quit looking for a way to get where they’re supposed to go.
Second, ants think winter all summer. That’s an important view. You can’t be so naive (无知的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering their winter food in summer. An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in summer.” There is some reason in what it says. It is important to think ahead. In summer, you’ve to think about the storm. You’ve got to think about rocks when you enjoy the sand and sun.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long;we’ll soon be out of here.” And on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they’ll go back, but then they come out again if it is warm. They can’t wait to get out.
And here is the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can. What an incredible (难以置信的) philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy.
What a great philosophy to have the ant philosophy! Never give up, look ahead, stay active and do all you can.
26. If ants have trouble reaching somewhere, they will_________.
A. give up their effort at last B. look for others’ help
C. wait for a chance to come D. get there in another way
27. Which of the following phrases in the passage has the closest meaning to the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 2?
A. go on B. get out C. give up D. think about
28. In Paragraph 3, people are advised __________.
A. to build their houses in winter B. to gather some food in winter
C. to build the house on the sand in summer D. to think about the danger while in safety
29. The third part of the ant philosophy is ___________.
A. more important than the other three
B. to believe in yourself and think about no difficulty
C. to be active and full of hope for future
D. that we should know winter is longer than summer
30. Which of the following shows the “all-that-you-possibly can” philosophy?
A. We should try our best to do what we can.
B. One should think of what will happen in the future.
C. One should get more pay for what he has done.
D. We should spend more time doing our work.

Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you about what festival my family members like. My father’s favorite festival is Mid-Autumn Day. He thinks the mooncakes are delicious and the moon on that day is bright and full. He also likes having a big family party together to admire the moon. My mother likes National Day best. She says that there is a seven-day holiday on National Day. She can either take a trip to somewhere interesting or just relax herself at home. My favorite festival is Christmas Day. During Christmas, I can get some Christmas gifts from my friends and know more about Christmas from the teacher. I believe that can help me learn English better.
Looking forward to your reply.
