<passage>:
Helen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter known for putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92.
To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure.Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon.It is an honor she has earned.Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best - challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth.She said, "We reporters' priority  is the people's right to know - without fear or favor.We are the people's servants."
Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920.All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard.She made up her mind while still in high school to become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper.After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington, D.C.in search of a newspaper job.Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News.Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors.The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice.
Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F.Kennedy and his family.Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president's family to his policies.She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences.Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy.Over the years, Thomas found her job "thrilling and inspiring," but never boring.And she took very seriously her duty to "keep an eye on the president" and keep American people informed.

<question>:

<options>:
A Unbearable.
B Exciting.
C Challenging.
D Unforgettable.

<passage>:
Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon.The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon.They called it "Monday", or "Monday", as we know it today.Later, the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon.Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honour to the home where it was born.
         Four and a half centuries later, Leonardo's idea was realized.Apollo II took three Americans Collins, Aldrin, and Armstrong to the moon.The mission   did fill the whole world with great surprise, as Leonardo had said it would.Numerous (many) essays, articles, and books were written about man's first moon mission.But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event over 100 years before.
         In 1865, French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon.His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo II mission.
         Verne's spacecraft also contained three men--two Americans and a Frenchman.The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo II.The launch   site in Verne's story was also in Florida.The spacecraft in Verne's story was named the "Columbiad".The Apollo II command ship was called "Columbia".His account description of sending the spacecraft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo II was sent into the space.
         Verne's story was the same as the actual event in several other respects  .The speed of Verne's spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second; Apollo's was 35,533 feet per second.Verne's spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon; Apollo's time was 103 hours.Like Apollo's spacemen, Verne's spacemen took pictures of the moon's surface, relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas, and experienced weightlessness.They two came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.
         What were the reasons for Jules Verne's extreme accuracy   in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred? He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy.Nineteenth-century science and the vivid (clear) Verne's imagination gave people an unbelievably accurate (exact) prediction of one of the greatest events of the 20th century.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
The London Eye 4D Film Experience started in August and is included in the London Eye ticket price. It is a fantastic 4D film to entertain you before your trip on the London Eye. The 4D effects are great.
No Extra Cost to You
That's right; you buy your ticket for the London Eye and 4D cinema experience. Merlin Entertainments, the London Eye owners, spent 5 million creating the film and building the 4D cinema and wanted to improve the value for money of the London Eye.
What to Expect
The 4D Cinema entrance is in the ticket hall. So after buying your ticket, go straight to it, where you'll be given a pair of glasses. About 160 visitors will pass through the 4D cinema every 8 minutes so don't worry about waiting time. People in the bright pink cinema are all standing on four levels. The top level is designed for wheelchairs.
London Eye 4D Film
Put on your glasses and enjoy yourself. The story is about a little girl visiting London with her father and she wants to be higher to get a better view so she comes to the London Eye. It differs from watching the 3D film for all your senses are involved. When it snows on screen, you feel it snows in the cinema. And when you watch the fireworks, you can really smell them.
For a short film, less than four minutes, before the main attraction you think you've come for, you are going to love this free extra. I stood there with my mouth wide open at the end as many others did. It's fantastic! The effects are the Hollywood standard as no expense is spared. I was lucky enough to try the film three times on the first day and I still want to go back again.

<question>:
What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

<options>:
A He mainly introduces the 4D film of Merlin Entertainments.
B He mainly introduces the London Eye entertainment centre.
C He mainly tells us his experiences while creating the 4D film.
D He mainly introduces to us how to take part in the 4D film.

<passage>:
Why do we call the sounds of birds, whales and insects songs? Because something about what we hear seems to have beauty, and some mellifluous   structure that touches us more than any possible message. Though for many years science has cautioned against hearing too much of what we humans would like to hear when we are trying to understand animal sounds, the musicality in some sounds is now starting to have an effect on the science of animal communication itself.
Many specific animal sounds express aggression , warning, or food, but such practical explanations are tough to apply to the long songs. Some whale songs can go on for up to 24 hours. The usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their area. But the audience is not always evident for these long love songs, which have many of the elements related to human music: rhythm, melody  , themes, repeating patterns, organization, variety, interest -- all adding up to something humans have found beautiful for thousands of years. "Birds taught man," wrote Roman poet and philosopher   Lucretius, "and taught them songs before their art began."
What is the scientific value of such sounds? The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that though we don't fully understand it, it is so accessible.
Music refuses explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, which humans can't live without. Finding music in the sound of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers  of nature see much closer to us.

<question>:
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

<options>:
A We call the songs of birds' sounds because there is beauty that sounds pleasant to the ears.
B It is believed that birds are singing to attract mates or to warn the limits of their areas.
C The songs of a bird really carry an emotional message such as "aggression and caring".
D It is not very long for people to know that birdsong does have something beautiful.

Because something about what we hear seems to have beauty, and some mellifluous   structure that touches us more than any possible message. Though for many years science has cautioned against hearing too much of what we humans would like to hear when we are trying to understand animal sounds, the musicality in some sounds is now starting to have an effect on the science of animal communication itself.
Many specific animal sounds express aggression , warning, or food, but such practical explanations are tough to apply to the long songs. Some whale songs can go on for up to 24 hours. The usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their area. But the audience is not always evident for these long love songs, which have many of the elements related to human music: rhythm, melody  , themes, repeating patterns, organization, variety, interest -- all adding up to something humans have found beautiful for thousands of years. "Birds taught man," wrote Roman poet and philosopher   Lucretius, "and taught them songs before their art began."
What is the scientific value of such sounds? The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that though we don't fully understand it, it is so accessible.
Music refuses explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, which humans can't live without. Finding music in the sound of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers  of nature see much closer to us.

<passage>:
Three more cattle farms in Andong,North Gyeongsang Province,were found to have been infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease,Nov.2 2010,Thursday.People fear that livestock farms in other parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon.
On Monday,the disease was first detected on two pig farms in Andong,about half a year after the last disease broke out in Korea.A cattle farm in the area also fell victim to the animal disease the following day.
The Ministry for Food,Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries made sure that three more cases of foot-and-mouth disease appeared on Thursday and decided to kill all the animals at the farms and others at nearby places to stop the spread of the virus to other regions.Over 800 cows and pigs within a 500 meter range of the infected farms were killed and buried underground.
"Three suspected cases were reported Wednesday,near the pig farms where the first outbreak was reported.The laboratory tests today showed that all three cattle farms were infected with the disease," a ministry official said.Two newly infected cattle farms were less than 4 kilometers away from the two pig farms,while the third one was only 2.5 kilometers away.
The ministry also said another cattle farm in Andong reported suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease on its livestock Thursday,indicating the disease will likely continue to spread across the city and possibly beyond.
The government has culled more than 33,000 animals near the affected farms Monday alone under its disease prevention program.Additionally,all 84 livestock markets across the nation were closed Wednesday for a period to prevent spread of the disease.
No suspected cases have been reported outside of Andong,but the government Thursday decided to destroy an additional 22,000 pigs at two farms in Boryeong,South Chungcheong Province.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8year, 12album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered   popular culture dramatically. And it wasn't just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life.
 Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered  . But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire band's music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue   in pop music history, said British newspaper theFinancialTimes.
 The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, AbbeyRoadof1969, featured the four young men striding   across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images.
 Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation.
 Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured  . Why? Paul McCartney's biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: "They were the first rock band... and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were groundbreaking in every way," he says.

<question>:
Why did the Beatles change popular culture?

<options>:
A Because of the suits of the four Liverpool boys.
B Because of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore.
C Because of their albums.
D Because of their different attitude to life.

NASA's Mars detector  , Opportunity, succeeded in finding signs that water once existed on the planet. Opportunity landed on Mars in January. Scientists now believe that the planet could once have supported life.
This discovery was chosen by Science, one of the world's leading magazines, as the most important scientific achievement of 2004 last Friday.
"This little, wheeled, one-armed box went around another planet and has done something no human has ever managed," according to Science. "It has discovered another place in the universe where life could once have existed."
"Although we still can't say that life could have existed in this environment, it is now certain that there was water on Mars," said Steve Squyres, one of the scientists working on the Mars mission. The evidence comes from pictures and chemical readings taken by Opportunity. It includes marks on rocks like those caused by flowing water on Earth and salty chemicals like those found in dried-out sea-beds. Scientists said the new evidence proved beyond doubt that water has existed on Mars. But it is still unknown whether the water on Mars was like an ocean or just ice.
While Opportunity has not found any signs of life, the presence of water means life is possible. "In everything we know about life on Earth, there is no example without liquid water," Squyres said. "So water is important for the search for life on Mars."
Researchers agree that a future mission   should bring back physical samples  . But some scientists worry about the risk that this could introduce dangerous foreign creatures to Earth. "The problem here is how to get the samples back," Squyres replied. "I think it is our responsibility to limit any risk."

A The physical samples with salty chemicals

<passage>:
I'm a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs . Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That's why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
Now let's take a closer look at this interesting animal.
Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don't just use pigs for their meat -- almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists' brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.
Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film 'Babe' starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated  for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don't just want to eat pigs, it seems!
Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say " _ !" to him. Hungry? Well then, you can "pig out" and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they "saved your bacon".

<question>:
We may know from the passage that   _  .

<options>:
A people in England like pigs more than other animals
B pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine
C pigs are the first animals raised by man
D more people don't want to eat pigs now

Tanzania Tarangire is a national park in Tanzania. The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited it to see what it was like.
One of the first sightings upon entering the park I found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us Tarangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large groups of elephants. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch .
To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree. Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees.
As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us there were lions all around us. Most of them were resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed there were a couple of fresh zebra corpses --it seemed as if the resting lions had killed them!
Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see!We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars, with a sleeping leopard there!We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.

<passage>:
Tanzania Tarangire is a national park in Tanzania. The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited it to see what it was like.
One of the first sightings upon entering the park I found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us Tarangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large groups of elephants. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch .
To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree. Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees.
As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us there were lions all around us. Most of them were resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed there were a couple of fresh zebra corpses --it seemed as if the resting lions had killed them!

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure science--a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science--- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said, "The web of our life is of a _ yarn, good and ill together." The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities--science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?

<question>:
What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?

<options>:
A Further application of science to war.
B More reading of William Shakespeare.
C Proper use of science in the new century.
D Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Each time a city building is set up, the grass in that spot and trees that once reached up to the sky are replaced by a tar   roof. In addition to that, roads, parking lots, and yet more buildings are being constructed. The total lost green space can have a very real effect on a city's air temperature, air quality and energy costs. On a summer day in most American cities, a tar roof can feel like the inside of an oven. But what if we could replace the hot roof of each skyscraper or building in a city with grass or a garden?
Whether it holds vegetable gardens, wildflowers, or meadow grasses, a green roof can lower the temperature above a building by 60 degrees, which can reduce the building's energy costs. If used more widely, green roofs could decrease a city's total energy costs, reduce polluted air from power plant , and improve air quality and public health. But that's not all -- green roofs are a great way to deal with water management in urban areas with overwhelmed sewerage   systems, and actually extend the life time of the roof itself. And green roofs do something else: They beautify the city -- whether you're on the 3rd floor or the 30th. Now that's a great achievement.

<passage>:
It is common to consider learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights,sounds,tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents,
friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics, They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to affect the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place and how the brain later outputs knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences.

<passage>:
Every night I have to go over the books he has learned from in class, signing each page to show the teacher that I have understood what the children have already done.
My child waits for me to play with him while I have my nose buried in his books.
"Have you done your homework yet, mom?"
At least once a week we are handed fliers about various events going on, while the homework keeps piling up.
And while my son throws his books in his bag every day quite happily, it's my responsibility to check he has everything he needs, that his lunchbox is washed and dry, that his water bottle is clean and full.
My child is sailing through the classes, especially, of course, English, in which they have been asked to choose an English name and decorate a nameplate for lessons.
My son, who already has an English name, has chosen another one, Harry.
Wu Shenhao, a little boy from my child's kindergarten, has chosen Helen. The girl who sits next to him has chosen Peter.
English is the one lesson I am not trapped with illegible  requests and homework. The kind teacher has decided to let us off this one.
With 42 children in a class I have piles of respect for the teachers who sustain their devoted, detailed training of these young minds.
Perhaps with the homework load they are causing some kind of revenge on the parents who have produced these little charges, and in doing so have caused them all this work.
To my little boy, it's all good fun with a bit of writing and numbers thrown in.
He loves most of it, especially the weekly flagraising ceremony, which, while a little surprising to the little ones, is at least accompanied by lively music and bright red flags.

<passage>:
Have you grasped the information taught by your teacher in class? Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.
Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.
For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.
Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.
*Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.
*Logical: These people learn with formula   and principles  .
*Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.
*Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.
*Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.
*Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences.
*Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.
Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.
