Reading newspapers has become an important part of our life. Many people begin their day by reading the papers. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. But sometimes, they don’t have time to read the news carefully, so they just take a quick look at the front page, at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to look at the headlines.
There are newspapers to meet the needs of every reader. In big cities there are many kinds of papers. In small towns there are fewer newspapers. In some places the paper is published once a week. Today, as a group, English language newspapers enjoy the largest number of readers. With the development of the world, some new newspapers will be published in the years to come.

Animals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them “migrate.” This means that they travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.
Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous, some travel in large groups. For example, geese fly in noisy, “V” – shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.
Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example, Snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.
Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals, like mice, collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change. The red fox eats fruit and insects in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, it can not find these things, so instead it eats small animals.
Some animals “hibernate” for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animal’s body temperature drops, and it’s heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating. Some also store food like nuts to eat later in winter. Bears and some bats hibernate.
Cold-blooded animals like fish, frogs and snakes have no way to keep warm during the winter. Snakes find protection in holes, and spend the winter without moving during the whole season.
Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold, they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There, frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water, and frogs can breathe through their skin.
Every type of insect has its own life cycle, which is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Many insects also spend the winter without moving. Their growth and development stop. The insect’s heartbeat, breathing and temperature drop. Some insects spend the winter as pupae. (This is a time when insects change from one form to another.) Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again.
34. Many birds fly in large groups because ______________ .
A. they can easily find food this way B. there is danger everywhere
C. they can get warm at night D. they will not be afraid again
35. Rabbits spend the cold winter by ______________ .
A. eating a lot B. Storing a lot of food
C. running often D. growing thicker fur
36. In the water, frogs ______________ .
A. do not breathe B. sleep and do not eat
C. breathe through their skin D. breathe through their mouths
37. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How do animals spend the winter? B. How do living things spend the winter?
C. How do living things get food in the winter? D. Where do living things move in the winter?
(D)
I’ve refused to allow my step son Jim to go to university because it will be too expensive and a waste of time. People think I’m selfish or not kind-hearted. But I don’t feel sorry for that, and I think more parents will be coming around to my way of thinking. Britain’s universities are failing to serve either the country or our children. It’s about time we voted with our feet.
I can’t remember when I began to change my mind on education. Like a lot of middle-class parents. We had believed that going to university was what your children did. It’s one of the reasons we offered more than ＄100,000 in fees for Jim to go to a private school rather than a free public one. Education is more important than nice cars, new kitchens or skiing holidays.
Jim is a young boy of whom any parent would be proud. He’s clever and helpful; he’s good at things like hanging pictures and mending doors; he can get on well with other kids. But he’
s shown little interest in study.
It’s not Jim’s intellect that’s the problem – after he entered the school he was asked to sit an exam – but an in-built reluctance (勉强) to do any more work than necessary to get by. We’ve tried everything to make him work harder. None of it has worked. For his final exams, Jim got a D and two Es. Even allowing for our low expectations, this came as a surprise to his mother and me.
“Surely,” I said to one of Jim’s teachers, “the only subject Jim would get on with such poor grades would be the kind of subject that wouldn’t be worth doing anyway.”
“Not at all,” the teacher answered, as if speaking to a dinosaur. He read out the names of a lot of universities I’d never heard of, saying they’d all be fit for Jim.
It was at this point I realized how far away I was from today’s education. I knew that, since I was at school in the early 1980s – when a student with such poor grades as Jim’s would not have been allowed to go to any university – the population in the UK going on to higher education has gone up from 14% to a surprising 44%.
38. The reason the writer won’t let Jim go to university is that ______________ .
A. The family is too poor to send Jim there
B. there are few universities in the UK
C. Jim won’t be allowed to go to university
D. it’s a waste of time and money to do so
39. What’s Jim’s main problem?
A. He is so slow that he can’t learn anything.
B. He is interested in anything except study.
C. He doesn’t want to use his head at school.
D. He never likes working hard and being busy.
40. What is the teacher’s idea in the passage?
A. He thinks the writer should encourage Jim to go to university.
B. He is sure most universities will certainly refuse to take Jim.
C. He is sure Jim’s father is too old to understand today’s education.
D. He thinks education in the UK has changed a lot in the past years.
41. From the passage we can infer ________________.
A. parents are usually strongly against higher education
B. many young people don’t go to university in the UK
C. some people can’t follow the steps of the country
D. education in the UK is becoming worse and worse

When I was small, I was kind of shy. Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it.
_______42______ The excitement of being lost at something that you love can help you forget your nervousness while showing off in public.
Next, why not get more chances to speak in public? For me, when I got to high school, I took speech classes. _________43_________.
Then, don’t think about what will happen. It’s possible that you might be laughed at when speaking. _________44_______ What really happens is better than what we imagine.
Finally, remember past successes. Whether it is making a successful speech, remembering past
successes can help inspire you to get future success. ________45_______. If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again!
It’s actually natural to be a little bit nervous about meeting new people, making cold calls, or giving a speech. That nervousness doesn’t have to keep you from succeeding, though.
A. First of all, you’d better concentrate on what you enjoy.
B. These successes are “proof” that you can do it.
C. I could even take part in speaking competitions.
D. However, others may not even notice your mistake.

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but it is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of a book, they make fixations. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always has something to do with what you are reading and why you are reading. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can use the right and necessary way. Here are four ways of reading, but not all, they may help you read faster.
1. Skimming is an important kind of reading. It can be used when you wish to go over something that you have forgotten. You may skim to find a lost place of a sentence that you have read and can’t remember. You may skim to get an idea of a story.
2. Fast first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this kind of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
3. You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This kind of reading is necessary for making a careful study of the main school subjects working out math problems, studying rules for playing a game, or reading directions.
4. Fast reading is used when you read stories for pleasure. You may also do fast reading when going over the lessons you have already known well.
46. Which is a better way of reading, seeing a group of words or a word at a fixation?
___________________________________
47. If you forget an important date in your history lesson and want to find it in the book, what way of reading should you use?
___________________________________
48. What’s the good point of reading fast?
___________________________________
49. Why does the writer talk about different ways of reading?
_______________________________________
50. What is the main idea of the passage？

Dear Tony,
I’m glad to know your grandpa is coming to Beijing.
Your grandpa is right. The bus service in Beijing is really good now. There are bus lines all over Beijing and buses can even take you to a small village. Besides, special seats are offered on buses. People do not have to spend a long time waiting for a bus and the tickets are cheap.
I like taking a bus because I think it’s comfortable and also good for the environment. So it’s a good choice for your grandpa to travel in Beijing.
If you have more questions, please ask me.
Yours,
Liu Jing
