If you are a fruit grower一or would like to become one一take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal ,Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of

anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的)Cat's Head which is moreof a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very bestvarieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place withperfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-Chemed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)·If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

8. What can people do at the apple events?

Bad new sells.If it bleeds ,it leads. No news is good news, and good news is。no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控)in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people's e-mails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The ‘if it bleeds' rule works for mass media,”says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling.But

when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don' want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer."

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication-e-mails, Web posts and reviews,

face-to-face conversations-found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的)，but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good drings than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the "most e-mailed" list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(滋发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, "Contagious: Why Things Catch On."

12. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A. News reports. B. Research papers

C. Private e-mails D. Daily conversations.

13.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A. They’re socially inactive.

B. They’re good at telling stories.

C. They’re inconsiderate of others.

D. They’re careful with their words.

14. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

B. Online News Attracts More People

C. Reading Habits Change with the Times

D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.

The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and seven months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the friendship highest point a little later at 27 years and three months.

The research, by Forever Friends, shows that a third of adults (36%) meet their closest friends while at school, with a fifth (22%) saying they meet them at work.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendships. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.

Forever Friends relationship coach Sam Owen says: “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendships are growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other

regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference. ”

Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to With growing pressures being put on friendships these days, it 's important to make time for our friendships.

From sleeping standing up to shutting down half of their brain, animals have some strange sleeping habits.

Now some of these unusual habits, from napping giraffes to birds ihat sleep while

flying, have been shown in a chart. This chart shows that little brown bats are very This long period of sleep is thought to be a way of conserving energy and it means brown bats only hunt for a few

hours each night when their insect food is available.

In contrast, giraffes can go weeks without sleep because these large and slow-moving animals are constantly easy to the attacks from predators.

However, other animals are experts at multitasking and can swim or fly while sleeping. For example, dolphins and

whales sleep while keeping half of their brain alert（警觉），so they don't drown, with dolphins typically napping for around 10 hours a day. The method is known as “logging” and it has been observed in bottlenose dolphins, which keep half of their brain at a low level of alertness. This allows the dolphin to keep enough consciousness to carry on breathing through its blowhole.

While sea otters aren’t alert while they sleep, they form rafts so they are not separated from each other. The creatures sometimes hold hands or paws when they sleep and typically eat, sleep and rest while floating in groups of rafts.

29. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A. sleepy B. inactive

C. energetic D. movable

30. Why do little brown bats have a long period of sleep?

A. To avoid sunshine. B. To save more energy.【试题调研,2016英语,第1辑,Word,版】

C. To relax themselves. D. To wait for their insect food.

31. How do dolphins avoid drowning while sleeping?

A. By taking extra naps. B. By holding hands or paws.

C. By keeping half of their brain alert. D. By breathing through their blowholes.

32. What do sea otters do in order not to be separated from each other?

A. They don’t sleep. B. They float on rafts.

C. They float in groups. D. They hold hands all the time.

During the visit, we were taken into a small room where ordinary-looking rocks were laid out on shelves. Had I seen them on some hillside, I would not have given them a second thought. Then the man closed the door so that the room was in total darkness and turned on an ultraviolet(紫外线的) lamp. Instantly, the rocks leaped into a

kind of glory. Brilliant colors of an indescribable beauty were there before our eyes: a certain power had been switched on, and a hidden world leaped into life.

As I look at my universe and walk among my fellow humans, I have the deep belief that hidden realities are all around us: there in the physical world, and there also in the human world.

I believe, then, that my chief job in life is to switch on an extra power so that I can see what my naked eyes, or my

naked mind, cannot now see. I believe that I have to do this particularly with my human fellows. My ordinary eyes tend to stop short at those envelopes we call human bodies. But we have learned that by turning on a certain power we can see through to the inside of these envelopes.

We call this extra power “imagination”. At its highest, we call it “empathy”, the power to see through and to feel

through to the inner life of other human beings. When we turn on this lamp of imaginative sensitivity, we make the ordinary human beings around us come excitingly alive.

When we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden from us, we walk humbly (谦逊地) before the Great

Unknown. But we do more than this: we try to increase our powers of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understandingly known. This, I believe, is our great human adventure.

33. Why does the writer mention their visit to the collector's shop?

A. To introduce the topic. B. To share his experience.

C. To explain his point. D. To provide evidence.

34. Which of the following does the writer agree with?

A. Hidden realities remain in the physical world.

B. Ordinary minds can never reach others’ inside.

C. He had seen the very rocks on some hillside before.

D. We should stay humble when we are still unknown.

35. It can be referred to as a great human adventure that .

A. we walk humbly before the Great Unknown

B. our eyes stop short at ordinary human beings

C. we try hard to discover the hidden glories of life

D. we are aware of the truth of hidden realities

第一节 （每小题1.5分，满分15分阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Is “sorry” the hardest word? Not for the British Education Secretary Michael Gove, has apologized recently to his former French teacher his bad behaviors in class. It took him 30 years to express regret. In a letter (publish) in a magazine, Mr. Gove says: “1t may be too late to say I’m sorry. But, as my mom told me, it’s never too late to set the record straight.”

Researchers argue that people have too high expectations of the power of saying sorry. Some psychologists say in a study that (receive) an apology isn’t as (help) as people think. Nevertheless, apologies might be an important social tool as they reaffirm (重新确认) the (exist) of rules that need to be observed.

The Education Secretary's apology might have been accepted by his old teacher but he might get (he) into trouble. According to the Daily Mail, Mr. Gove’s mother didn't know her son was causing trouble at school and she (say) : “He would have been punished I had known he was being so naughty.” Later, Gove said: “I can never express my apology to him face to face these days-it just goes through to his answering machine. But when I do (eventual) speak to him, I will tell him a good sorry.”

We are now living in a information age, in which TV, cells and the Web are wide used. It seem that many people

cannot enjoy themselves without it. However, if I were to give up one of them, I would turn off TV rather than to switch off my cell or cut off the Internet. I could do without TV because few shows took my fancy and there are too many

commercials. Besides, most programs on TV are available elsewhere, either. As for cells and the Web, they are less necessary for me. I need a cell to keep in touch my friend and my family.

A

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval（赞许）.

Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.

Then one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left he children with Mary. But when I returned. Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.

Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister（小筒）filled with pencils.

“Look, Donnie,” she said. “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”

She kissed him and continued: “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer（少许）of a smile.

The Pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes. gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

21. Why did Donnie rarely finish his work?

A. Because he seldom answered those difficult questions

B. Because he spent too much time checking his answers C. Because he couldn’t work together with his classmates

D. Because he never did his work until the very last minute

22. The word “.

A. encouraged B. impressed C. satisfied D. confused

23. Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in the article?

A. Patient and inspiring B. Creative and modest

C. Determined and strict D. Considerate and proud

24. The story was written mainly to .

A. tell us who influenced Donnie greatly B. sing the praises of Mary Anne

C. give a life lesson about failure D. show us how to use erasers

B

Elephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer?

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have life spans（寿命）that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤）from developing. To be precise. They found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP 53 in elephants. Most other species. Humans included, only carry one copy.

According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells（细胞）quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can to on to form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long life spans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. later named “Peto’s paradox”. Evolutionary biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller do not, In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.

“It’s up to us to learn how different animals tackle（对付）the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

25. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A. They have a large body size

B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage

C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors

D. They carry many genes that keep tumors form developing

26. According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A. Extreme weather B. Human behavior

C. A risk of deadly tumors D. Cells killing themselves

27. What does the underlined expression “this phenomenon” on the sixth paragraph refer to?

A. Larger animals have protection from TP53

B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size

C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have

D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do

.

A. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice

B. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer

C. this new treatment is more effective than the present ones

D. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future

Brawn Nelson knew he wanted to be a doctor at 8 after he acted as a doctor on a primary school career day.

He faced more difficulties than many to get there; His family came to Florida, US as refugees（难民）from Haiti and “had almost nothing”. He worried about how to pay for college.

But Nelson got a head start（领先）in his medical career.

He participated in the Health Careers Outreach Program that aims to help poor minority students to get close to the medical field.

At middle school, he attended classes taught by medical students from Florida Atlantic University. He dissected（解剖）rats, comparing their organs to those found in humans.

As a high schooler, he worked on the same cadavers（医用尸体）as the medical students. He also visited the university’s lab and practiced treating patients using high-tech models.

Experiences like those and make all the difference for students an they work toward medical school, said Nirmala Prakash, head of the program.

“This is not a pipe dream where they’re trying to imagine it, ” she said. “This is something they’ve lived.”

Now 18 and headed to the University of Florida on a full scholarship, Nelson is a model graduate of the program, In four years, the program has graduated 50 students, Like Nelson, each one has been accepted to college, many with scholarships.

Randy Scheid, an official of Quantum that funded（资助）the program, said the program was important for the area.

“Our cunty is very diverse.” Said Scheid. “It’s important to have doctors who can understand their patients’ backgrounds.”

The program can be meaningful for individual families, too.

“A lot of these kids are the first one in their family to go to college” said Prakash. “you’re changing an entire generation.”

For Nelson, the experience helped him “ not waste time” in trying to get to the career his heart was set on.

He says he can’t wait for his college life.

“I’m ready,” Nelson said, laughing. “ I’m ready to start a whole new chapter in my life and to see where it will lead me. ”

29. Which of the following is TRUE about Brawn Nelson?

A. He has begun treating patients independently

B. He has been accepted to college on a full scholarship

C. He has been dreaming about being a doctor since he came to the US

D. He took classes taught by teachers from a medical university during middle school

A. focuses on helping students to realize their medical career dreams

B. aims to help poor minority students to get into top universities

C. teaches students how to make better use of time

D. has graduated 50 students this year, many of whom got scholarships

31. Why is the program important?

a. It can help to make the county more diverse

b. It can help kids in the county to learn more about careers

c. It trains doctors who have diverse backgrounds

d. It helps to change the futures of some kids and their fmilies

A. a d B. a b c C. a c d D. c d

32. What was the author’s purpose in writing this article?

B. To share with readers Nelson’s story of struggling in the US

C. To describe the Health Careers Outreach Program

D. To show that minority students can find their own identity in the US

D

Getting more followers is something we usually associate with social media or micro messaging apps, But soon we could all have a new type of follower-a robotic one.

Dozens of robots and technology fans gathered in Boston, US, earlier this month for the RoboBusiness conference. The latest developments in the world of robotics were shown to the public and this time the trend was robots following people.

Perhaps the most exciting development on show was the ability of drones（无人机）to follow you from the air, acting as your own personal cameraman or photographer. One example is 3-D Robotics’ Iris+ drone, developed by a US-based company.

The drone is fitted with cameras and has a “follow me” function. It connects with your GPS-enabled Android device（设备）, like a mobile phone. Then it flies and follows you around, shooting action footage（影片）of you from above. The soft-ware in the drone makes sure that you’re always in the center of the frame.

It can keep working for 15 minutes, as long as there aren’t too many trees for it to crash into. This could be exciting for anyone who loves action sports or wants to be the star of their own short film.

But what if you want to be one of those celebrities who have helpers carrying all their bags and doing all their chores? A robot called Budgee can help.

Budgee, made by 5 Elements Robotics. Is literally a basket on wheels. It is designed to help elderly and disabled people, or simply anyone who doesn’t have enough arms for grocery bage, Wired magazine reported. It can carry up to 22.7 kg of items.

To make Budgee follow them, its owner will have to wear a small device and use an app to set the distance between themselves and the robot. Budgee even sends a text message when it can’t keep up with its owner.

“I want you to look at the robot like he’s your buddy, he’s your friend. There’s a relationship you develop with the robot,” Wendy Roberts, CEO of 5 Elements Robotics, told gigaom. com.

It might not be quite the same as robotic assistants we’ve seen in movies such as Disney’s Wall-E，where robots cater for (满足)our every need，but that idea doesn’t seem quite so far-fetched(不着边际的)now.

33. The drone developed by a US-based company can .

A. decide who to put in the center of the frame

B. fly around you and take videos from above

C. be used to take pictures and make phone calls

D. keep working for 15 minutes in any conditions

34. According to the article，Budgee is most likely to be targeted at .

Make a difference with your photography

Take the chance to make a real difference with your photography and contribute to One Minute on Earth, a project aiming to help street children around the world.

We all live on the planet Earth, in different time zones and different parts of the world. When you read this, it will be night in one part of the world and morning somewhere else. A sunset and a sunrise is always there at any minute on earth.

In 2015 on the 6th of April at 13:00 (New York time), 200 photographers all around the world clicked on the button of their cameras all within the same minute on earth. From all these amazing landscape photos and stories, a photobook was made which was sold to raise money for charity.

100% of this profit was donated to the Ashalayam Deutschland organisation which used this money to support a street children center in Kolkata India. You can still buy this book from our website, which will help us continue to support the kids.

We plan to hold this event annually, with the next one scheduled on June 21st 2016 at 21:00 (New York time). Money raised from the sale of the new photobook will go to a home in South Africa where 75 parentless children live. This year’s event will include not only landscape photos but also street photos. The main rule is that the sky must be shown in the photo, so all can see at what time it was shot when this year’s One Minute on Earth got to you.

1. What is the main goal of One Minute on Earth?

A. To raise money for children.

C. To find the best picture. B. To publish a photobook. D. To take pictures of different places.

2. What do the 2015 and 2016 events have in common?

C. They require the same type of picture. D. The money raised goes to the same children.

3. What is the main rule of the 2016 event?

C. The sky must appear in every photo. D. Each photographer can submit only one photo.

B

For many people, leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors, have some fun and meet interesting people. Add two pieces of advanced 21st century technology — global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet — to get “geocaching”.

The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache — usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and CDs — along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, the person who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.

Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position. This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine one’s location.

Geocachers are a very considerate group. Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience, such as a beautiful view or a good campsite. They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area. As for the content of the caches, owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family, as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.

4. According to the passage, geocaching is __________.

A. an outdoor leisure activity

C. a game used to teach geography

A. By meeting them.

C. From the notebook.

A. A GPS device.

C. A plastic container.

A. Most geocachers are adults.

B. Any item can be placed in the caches.

B. a new type of technology D. a program to protect environment B. By going to a website. D. From the satellite. B. A compass. D. The Internet. 5. How can finders learn about the cache owners? 6. Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching? 7. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

C. The caches should be put in a remote place.

D. Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.

C

As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.

And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.

Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.

When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.

As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common — and understandable — complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?

Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.

Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.

Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?

8. The passage is mainly about __________.

A. how zoos have improved B. whether a zoo should be closed down

C. a new environmental organisation D. the difference between zoos and circuses

9. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.

Far out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood an improbably high diving board — a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower. It was, I’m sure, the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.

So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.

Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform. He was just when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. He was going to do it.

Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch. Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes. The crowd fell silent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far, far below.

But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream. When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.

It didn’t.

He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I don’t think he entered the water at all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf.

He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sips of water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head to toe, he was covered with deep red bruises.

... It was the best day of my life.

12. What did the writer think of Mr. Milton’s plan to jump from the diving board?

A. Crazy. B. Disappointing. C. Heroic. D. Confused.

13. In Paragraph 3, Mr Milton is described as “a tiny, stick figure” because he was __________.

A. tired after swimming B. very small and thin

C. very far away D. sure to be broken

14. Why did Mr. Milton suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?

A. He thought it was the best way to slow his fall. B. He lost his confidence and started to panic.

C. He was signalling the crowd for help. D. He wanted to show his courage.

15. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an example of a fact?

A. He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.

B. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of trees up to three miles away.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since the day of its birth, the United Nations has been the subject of much debate. Others think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history.

The U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world’s problems.

The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President at the time, believed that the Allies (联盟) should plan for peace before the war ended. On December 1, 1943, Roosevelt, Britain’s Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace.

During the next year and a half, the idea of such an organisation was debated around the world. Then came the big day. On April 11, 1945, the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco. The goal of the meeting was to write the U.N. Charter (宪章). All of the fifty-one nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for the Charter.

Every nation present voted for the Charter. No one voted against it.

A. After a long debate, a final Charter was agreed upon.

B. The U.N. Charter is a beautiful piece of writing.

C. They asked all countries, large and small, to join the organization.

D. Even the smallest country on earth can have its voice heard.

E. They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace.

F. These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself.

G. Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.
