An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow m my small town in the mountains. Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47 year-old back ached in anticipation（预想）of the shoveling（铲雪）I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.
Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow(雪犁) on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.
The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angles, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore(疼痛的). I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.
May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.
25. What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily?
A. He was upset. B. He was happy.
C. He was thankful. D. He was moved.
26. From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow?
A. Taste and smell. B. Sight and smell.
C. Smell, hearing and taste. D. Sight, hearing and taste.
27. What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article?
A. Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family.
B. Snow brings both fun and trouble.
C. Memories can change our opinion.
D. We should stay young at heart.
28. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph l, we can know that “ ".
A. my back ached because of the cold weather.
B. I didn't want to start my day on such a snowy day.
C. my back would ache upon thinking of cleaning up the snow.
D. the snow didn't stop and I felt too cold.

The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction. The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored it, though it was better-known as simply the ‘Booker Prize’. In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping ‘Booker’.
Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted that they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee gives advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books. The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.
Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender(性别) and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been decided, they are left to make their own decisions. Meanwhile, the prize sponsor has no further right to take part in any more.
The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent
quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the￡50,000 that comes with the prize.
29. Who can submit books to the prize?
A. Judges. B. Writers. C. Readers. D. Sponsors.
30. Why is the prize named the Man Booker Prize?
A. Because the prize is given to writers from the Commonwealth.
B. Because the prize was known as simply the ‘Booker Prize’.
C. Because the prize is sponsored by the Man Group and they kept the name.
D. Because the prize is aimed to award the very best contemporary fiction.
31. Which task can be done by the Advisory Committee?
A. Changing the rules for the prize on their own.
B. Selecting the judging committee.
C. Making decisions on who is the winner.
D. Submitting books for consideration for the prize.
32. The consistent quality of the prizes is guaranteed by _ .
A. the prize money. B. the gender of the judges.
C. the make-up of the panel of judges. D. the increase in sales of the winner.
D
Back in the 1860s, a British scientist named Henry Walter Bates noticed something interesting in the animal world: a kind of butterfly, Common Mormon, can change the pattern on its wings so that it looks like another butterfly species, the Common Rose, which is poisonous for birds to eat.
Bates argued that animals develop this ability to protect themselves from being eaten. This theory had been widely accepted by scientists. But one question remains: how do these animals manage to do that?
After more than 150 years, scientists are finally able to answer that question-it is all down to a gene (基因) called “doublesex", according to a study published on March 6 in the journal Nature.
In fact, scientists have long known that genes are responsible for this useful ability. But until the new study, scientists hadn't been able to find out which genes in particular were responsible.
Scientists at the University of Chicago compared the genetic structures of the Common Mormons that changed their wing patterns with those of ones that did not. And all the results pointed to a single gene, “doublesex”.
This was much to the scientists' surprise. They used to expect that something as complex as this would be controlled by many different genes. For example, one gene would control the color of the upper part of the wing, one would do so for the lower part.
However, the “doublesex” gene doesn't quite do everything by itself. Instead, it acts like a switch-it “tells” other genes to change the wing patterns. Isn't that clever?
Scientists believe that this special ability of the “doublesex” gene on Common Mormon was developed throughout the long history of evolution. “The harmless species gains an advantage by resembling something predators (捕食者) avoid,” Sean Carroll, a scientist told Nature. “it was obvious evidence for natural selection. ”
33. How do scientists find the truth of butterfly changing wing patterns?
A. By doing experiment on butterflies. B. By comparing genetic structures.
C. By observing the butterflies. D. By analyzing the result.
34. Which of the following ideas is accepted by scientists?
A. The‘ doublesex’ gene does do everything by itself.
B. The ‘doublesex’ gene is poisonous.
C. The ‘doublesex’ gene ‘tells’ other genes to change the wing patterns.
D. The ‘doublesex’ gene could only control the color of the upper part of the wing.
35. What is the best title of this passage?
A. How Common Mormons stay safe
B. How butterflies changed wings' pattern
C. What American scientists discovered
D. What genetic structures of butterflies have

How to prepare for exam?
Here are some tips you can read with your child.
The first step in preparing for examination is to set a fixed time each day to study and a schedule to say when to start the revision and for which subject. The plan should include how many chapters to revise and how many worksheets to work on. 36 . Parents who do not know the examination time schedule can search 'exam timetable' to see the official examination schedule. 37 .
The second thing is to decide on the place to study. Some need total silence in a library before they can concentrate while others like to have some background music like in the cafeteria. 38 . So there is no need to tell your child to change the study place if he is producing the desired results.
39 . For lessons, pupils must participate in lessons and discussions actively. For exercise, work on the simple ones in the textbook. For theory, pupils can use the mind map method to summarize the facts.
At last, study smart. Focus on chapters that are the core of the subject or difficult chapters. 40 。
A. Next the most effective way to revise is to use an active approach.
B. Making good preparations counts.
C. Mind map can help you a lot in your revision work.
D. Your child has to be self-disciplined to follow the plan.
E. It is not necessary to simply read from first to last page.
F. The best time to start revision is one or two months before the examination.
G. Both are alright as long as your child is comfortable with it.
