When another old cave is discovered in the south of France，it is not usual news．Rather，it is art ordinary event．Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly ．However，when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940，the world was amazed．Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago．The scenes show people hunting animals，such as bison or wild cats．Other images show birds and，most noticeably，horses，which appear in more than 300 wall images，by far outnumbering all other animals．

Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task．They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex．

Unfortunately，the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes，which easily wear the images away．Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances，air movement has also damaged the images inside．

Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago，many of the images have been destroyed and are barely recognizable．To prevent further damage，the site was closed to tourists in 1963，23 years after it was discovered． 46．What can be the best title for the text? A．Wild Animals in Art

B．

Hidden Prehistoric Paintings

Most city parks are places where you can escape from big，ugly structures of metal and stone．The Manhattan High Line is different．Raised 25 feet above the ground，this massive metal structure once supported a rail line．The line opened in 1934 but it was hardly used after the 1960s，and much of it was torn down．However，one stretch remained in a region of Manhattan．The railway structure was ugly and everyone knew that at some time，it would have to be removed．

But the High Line was not destroyed．In fact．now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city．The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond．In 1999，they attended a community meeting to decide the fate of the High Line．David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on，when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line，they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city，and they realized

When you imagine the desert,you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth' s largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.

In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall. More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation--which can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow--on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has an average temperature that usually falls below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all. This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than two inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more--between seven and eight inches a year. Because Antarctica gets so little precipitation every year, it is considered a desert.

When precipitation falls in hot deserts, it quickly evaporates back into the atmosphere. The air over Antarctica is too cold to hold water vapor, so there is very little evaporation. Due to this low rate of evaporation, most of the snow that falls to the ground remains there permanently, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica. These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing. Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.

Conversation

Jeff: Hi Lisa!

Lisa: Hi Jeff. Hey, have you been to art room today?

Jeff: No, why?

Lisa: well, Mr. Jennings hung up a notice about a big project that’s going on downtown. You know how the city’s been doing a lot of work to fix up Main Street—you know, to make it look nicer? Well, they are going to create a mural(壁画). Jeff: You mean, like, a painting on the entire wall of the building?

Lisa: Exactly.

Jeff: But where?

Lisa: It’s that big wall on the side of the public library and students from this school are going to do this whole thing: create, design and paint it and everything. I wish I could be a part of it, but I’m too busy.

Jeff: Cool. I’d love to help to design the mural. Imagine everyone in town walking past that wall and seeing my artwork, every day.

Lisa: I thought you’d be interested. They want the mural to be about nature, so I guess all the designer ideas students come up with should have a nature theme.

Jeff: That makes sense—they’ve been planting so many trees and plants along the streets in the park.

Lisa: If you’re interested, you should talk with Mr. Jennings.

Jeff: This could be so much fun. Maybe I’ll try to visit the zoo this weekend. You know, to see a wild animal and get some ideas, something to inspire me.

( Narrator)Listen to a teacher talking in a biology class ants are like people—like farmers. And what do these ants grow? They —mushrooms are a kind of fungi. These ants have gardens, you could say, in their underground nests. This is where the fungi are grown.

Now, this particular kind of ant is called Because of their name, people often think that leafcutter ants eat leaves. If they cut up leaves they must eat them, right? Well, they don't! They actually use the leaves as a kind of fertilizer. Leafcutter ants go out of their nests looking for leaves from plants or trees. They cut

the leaves off and carry them underground . . . and leaves to —the fungi that they grow. In that way, they are like farmers!

The amazing thing about these ants is that the leaves they get are often larger and up into smaller pieces—but not all the time. Some ants carry whole leaves back into the nest. In fact, some experiments have been done to measure the heaviest leaf a leafcutter ant can lift without cutting it. It turns out, it depends on the individual ant. Some are stronger than others. The experiments showed that some "super ants" can lift leaves about 100 times the weight of their body! (Narrator)Now answer the question

Did you see that?” Joe said to his friend Bill. “You are a great shooter!”

Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.

“Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly.

“Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.” he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd. “Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested.

“But I practice all the time with you!” Bill objected. He shook his head. “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.” “You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out.

“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”

Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.

The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.

“Practice without me,” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a

minute.”

Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find--two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.

“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally.

Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.

“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 3-- wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artist drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.

Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images aways. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has

also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

There are lessons we learn in the classroom and lessons we just happen to learn，while in a classroom.

“What I'm teaching them to do is to extend themselves and to learn to do things they didn't do before，”said Siena Professor Dr.Jim Nolan.

That is what Nolan has had to do ever since September 6th.2010 when he was biking，went down an embankment(路堤)and landed on his head.He broke his neck and spine(脊椎)．We first met Dr.Nolan this past May as a quadriplegic(四肢瘫痪者)，walking again.His goal then was to get back into the classroom.Now，he is.

“I was right up front with them when I rolled in.They surprisedly saw me in the wheelchair so I explained to them I have many challenges，”said Nolan.

Siena and Nolan's occupational therapist worked to help him overcome those challenges.They went to his office，even his classroom.

“I_can_do_anything_from_my_laptop_that_anyone_could_do_at_the_platform.There are times I will give them what I call lessons in perseverance.”said Nolan.

The class he is teaching is a freshman forum class.The students are learning just as much about starting a new chapter in life as they are about school.Their professor

is following a parallel path.He is sharing what he learned in physical therapy.

“She asked me to move my legs a certain way.I tried，and looked at her and said I can't do it.She said to me.I don't ever want to hear you say you can't do it again，”said Nolan.

Nolan says he realized at that moment that his future was up to him.Once unable to move his legs or arms，he is now walking 1520 minutes at a time with a walker and is even driving himself to work.

11．C 解析：推理判断题。该划线句句意为：我能用笔记本电脑做任何人在讲台上做的任何事情。可见在讲台上笔记本电脑对他帮助很大。

12．D 解析：推理判断题。由Nolan能够在身体残疾后勇敢地面对现实、克服障碍、重返讲坛可知他意志坚强。

The Wise Monkey and the Ogre

Once in India, there was a magic forest. In the middle of the lake in this forest lived a terrible ogre. Whenever any animal tried to drink from the lake, the ogre would jump out and

gobble the animal up.

One day a band of monkeys came to the forest. Their leader was a wise old monkey who knew about the ogre. So he warned the others, “If he catches you, he will eat you. Don’t drink any water from the lake until I tell you it is safe.”

The monkeys listened to their leader. They grew very thirsty, but they stood back from the lake. Then the wise old monkey went near the lake and waited to see if the ogre would appear.

When the ogre saw the old monkey, he stuck his head out of the water and said, “Come down to the water and drink.”

“No,” said the monkey. “If I come to the water, you will eat me.”

“Yes,” said the ogre. “But there is no other water in the forest. Soon you and your friends will have to come here to drink. Then I will eat you all.”

When the Sun Went Away

Long ago, people believed the sun goddess and the god of night were sister and brother. The sun goddess made everything grow, so the people loved her. But the god of night brought wicked spirits to harm the land, and the people feared him.

Soon the god of night grew jealous of his sister. He wanted her to go away so that he could keep the earth dark forever. Then, he thought of a plan. One day, he crept into the sun goddess' room with a big bag. When he opened the bag, a huge snake crawled out and wound itself around the sun goddess’ chair. She was so frightened that she ran into a cave and would not come out at all.

Then, the earth was always dark. The god of night ruined the crops and frightened the people. Children were afraid to go out to play. So the people went to the cave to ask the sun goddess to come back to them.

“Please come out,” they begged. “Your brother is destroying us.” But she would not come “Make noise,” he said. “Maybe she will be curious and come out to see what is happening.” So the people gathered at the cave. They beat drums, rang bells and sang. The goddess heard the noise and became curious. Finally she crept to the mouth of the cave and peeked out. When the people grabbed her hand and pulled her out, the earth became bright again and the people danced for joy. When the god of night saw how happy the people were, he felt .

The Polar Bear

The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.

The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only snow, ice, and water. There is not any land. You cannot see the polar bear easily because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because the weather is cold in the Arctic Circle.

This bear is three meters long, and it weighs 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs

because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It can swim 120 kilometers out into the water. It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid.

People like to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of Canada, the United States and Russia say that no one can kill polar bears now. They do not want all of these beautiful animals to die.

Frozen In Time

The Andes Mountains are in the country of Peru. One day not too long ago, people found something wonderful there. They found a perfect mummy of a 12 year old girl. They called her Juanita.

The girl was from the Inca tribe. The Incas ruled part of South America long ago. They were there long before the Spaniards arrived to take over the land.

Juanita’s body was frozen into the ice. Because of this she is very well preserved. Scientists say we will be able to learn a lot from her. They can learn about the health of the ancient Inca people by studying her organs. Johan Reinhard is from America. He found Juanita. He and his friends worked hard to get the mummy down the icy slope. They found two more mummies, too. They also found some very old statues. They were made of gold, silver and shell. Clothing and feather headdresses on the statues were in perfect shape. When he saw them, he said, “Holy smokes! The statues are just sticking out of the ground.”

The three mummies may have been sacrificed by the Inca. This means they were killed in a religious ceremony. The Incas believed that mountain gods caused natural disasters. They thought the gods would stop disasters if they sacrificed people. People who were chosen to be killed saw it as a great honor.

A force of nature uncovered the treasures. A volcano blew up. It caused the ice to melt. This exposed the statues and the mummies. Scientists think that it was a lucky accident. The Incas might have said the gods finally decided to show the world more of the amazing

Inca culture.

Cleaning Up – How Soap Works

How many times have you come in from outdoors with dirty hands and dirty clothes? Without even thinking, you go the sink and wash your hands with soap and water. Then you put your clothes in the washing machine. Magically, everything is clean again. What is the magic of soap? How does it take away dirt that water by itself won’t remove?

When soap is added to water, it works in two ways to get rid of dirt and grease. First, water by itself does not mix well with dirt. It floats on top or around. But water by itself won’t wash most dirt away. Water needs to be mixed with soap. The soap then makes the water “wetter”. Although it sounds strange, wetter water is able to flow around and under dirt particles and float them away.

Second, soap makes the dirt stick to water because soap has a special shape. Each particle of soap is a long, thin rod with a head end and a tail end. When soap is mixed with water, the head end of the soap particle attaches itself to a water molecule. Then the tail end of the soap buries itself in a dirt or grease particle. Now the dirt particle and the water particle are joined together. In a single tub of water, many soap particles may stick to one dirt particle, so the dirt becomes surrounded by soap and water. The dirt then floats away in the water, and your hands or clothes are clean.

Soap works well in most water no matter if it is hot or cold. When the dirt or grease is too strong, detergents take over. They do the same job as soap, but they can work in water that makes soap lose its cleaning power. Soap and detergent are two of the most important products in the world. If there was no soap, how could you ever wash up before eating dinner?

1. What must we use if soap does not work well? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________

2. How does soap actually remove the dirt from your hands or clothes? ________________________________________________________________________
