A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on
the beach ev ery morning.
One day, when he was walking along the shore (海岸), he saw a young man
moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on
the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was
reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the
ocean
He called out, “Good morning! W hat are you doing?” The young man stopped,
looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.”“I guess I should have
asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide(潮汐)is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll
die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and
starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and
threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been
gifted(赋予)with the ability to make a difference.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the
world will be better.
46. What was the wise man used to doing every morning?
A. Taking a walk on the shore.
B. Watching the young man dance.
C. Meeting up with the young man. D. Helping the young man pick up starfish.
47. Why did the young man throw the starfish into the ocean?
A. To have fun.
B. To study starfish.
C. To feed some fish.
D. To save starfish.
48. What can we learn from the story?

D. People can come up with some good ideas when walking on the shore.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today
because it is about simple but strong feelings and events—love, sadness, good times,
and bad times. It tells real-life. Stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life
becomes more complicated (复杂的), it is good to hear music about common people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of
music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the
eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers
usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric (电子的) guitars.
At first, city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the
South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and
Midwest to work in factories. They took music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the
country went to army camps (军营) in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it
became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and
Canada— in small towns and in New Y ork City, among black and white, and among
educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast (播出) country
music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in
other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and
poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.
49. It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from _________.
A. the Southeast and Midwest
B. factories and army camps in the South
C. the Appalachian Mountains and the West
D. real-life stories in small towns
50. During World War II many Southerners went to the Northeast and the Midwest
because ________.
A. they wanted to take music with them
B. they wanted to make other people like country music
C. they wanted to work in the factories there
D. they wanted to make country music popular
51. Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the world today because
_______.
A. city people said it was low class
B. people could sing it in many different languages
C. it started with cowboys and poor Southerners
D. it is loved by different kinds of people in the world
52.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. City people didn’t like country music at first.
B. Country music is sung by stars all in English.
C. Country music is popular among city people today.
D. Country music is about feelings and events.
C
If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a
special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny
Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple
trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness
and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the
doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy.
If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple
polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that
he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even
though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the
language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a
dessert, and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go
into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous
for their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always
visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.
53. What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?
A. Something for cutting apples.
B. A person who likes to make others happy.
C. A person who is dealing with fruits. D. A machine for cleaning apples quickly.
54. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________.
A. cooking
B. medicine
C. Shopping
D. health
55. Which of the following is TRUE with apples?
A. Apples are medicine.
B. Apples are the most important food.
C.New York is famous for its big apples. D.The Bible says Adam was given an apple.
56. The passage is mainly about___________.
A. stories about the apple
B. apples in American culture
C. some famous sayings of the apple
D. big cities that is famous for apples
D
The webs that spiders(蜘蛛) build to catch insects seem weak. However, the
strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong
storms.
In each spider web, some threads are sticky(粘的), but some are not. When a
spider is moving on the web, it will not step on the sticky threads. After a time the silk
will lose its stickiness and become unable to catch insects. Then, spiders usually eat
their own web.
Now a team of scientists has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not
just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a web’s
success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break,
say scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists found the
thread itself has the ability to become softer or harder. So it can hold different types of
heavy things.
In tests, scientists used three other strong materials(材料) made into the same
webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More
surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from
different places, the web didn’t become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10
percent stronger.
The spider web’s clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings
could help design safer buildings and even a new type of strong material. “It’s a
really good chance,” said Markus Buehler, a professor at MIT. “It may give us some
new ideas for engineering.”
57.According to the passage, the spider web is strong because_______ .
a. the spider’s thread is sticky
b. the thread has a lot of strength
c. the web has a clever design
d. the web can keep the strength forever
A. ab
B. ac
C. bc
D. bd
58.In paragraph 4, the scientists’ tests show that ________.
A. the spider’s thread is stronger than the other three materials
B. the spider’s thread is the strongest material in the world
C. the spider’s thread can be as soft or hard as it needs to be
D. taking away some spider thread makes the web weaker
59.From the last paragraph, we learn that _______ .
A. people can use spider webs to build houses
B. the findings give people new ideas for buildings
C. there are many reasons why the spider web is so strong
D. Professor Buehler will make a new type of material
60.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.How spiders catch insects
C. Spiders are clever designers
B. How spiders design webs
D. Webs are stronger than steel
