Once there was a woman whose only son had died. In her sorrow (悲痛) she went to ask a wise

Mr. Harris taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about
an animal called ‘birdcat’，which died out during the Ice Age . He passed around a skull(头
骨) as he talked. We all took notes carefully and later we had a test .
When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big red ‘X’ through each of my answers.
I had failed! There had to be some mistake! I had written down exactly what Mr. Harris said
.Then I learned that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened?
“Very simple,” Mr. Harris said. He had made up all that ‘birdcat’ “There had never been
any such animal. The information in our notes was therefore incorrect. Did you think you would
get good marks for incorrect answers?”
Needless to say, we felt that was unfair. What kind of a test was this? And what kind of
a teacher? “We should have figured it out.” Mr. Harris said. After all, at the very moment
he was passing around the ‘birdcat’ skull, in truth a cat’s, hadn’t he been telling us no
other findings about this animal except the skull? He had told us many unbelievable things about
the animal, such as the size, the color, the strength… but none of us had questioned.
Mr Harris said he hoped we would learn something from this lesson. Teachers and textbooks
are not always correct. In fact no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep and to
speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.
Up to now I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr. Harris’s class gave
me and my classmates something just as important: To look people in the eye and tell them they
are wrong.
( ) 54.The best title for this passage can be __________.
A. An unforgettable Test. B. A strange Animal Called “Birdcat”
C. An Unfair Test D. Incorrect Information
( ) 55. “Figure it out” should mean “__________.”

( ) 56. I failed in the science test because_________.
A. I didn’t answer all the questions
B. I didn’t answer the paper according to what Mr Harris said.
C. the information in my answers was wrong.
D. M r Harris made some mistake.
( ) 57.We can learn from this passage that__________.
A. Mr. Harris was the only person who found the animal “birdcat”
B. Mr. Harris used a cat’s skull instead of a birdcat’s because they were the same.
C. We should be brave to speak out against what we don’t believe.
D. Teachers and textbooks are usually incorrect.
C
Death Valley is a beautiful but extremely(极端) dangerous land. There high mountains reach
more than 3000 meters into the sky. But there is also a low place called Badwater. It is the
lowest area of land in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). If there were water there, it would
be 86 meters below the level of the ocean.
Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. Storms in the mountains can
produce sudden flooding on the floor of the Valley.
The air temperature during the summer has been as high as 57 ºC. The heat of Death Valley has killed people in the past. It will continue to kill those who do not honor this extreme climate
(气候). Death Valley does not forgive those who are not careful.
However, it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. The Valley is full of
life. Wild flowers grow very quickly after a little rain. Some desert plants can send their
roots (根) down more than 18 meters to reach water deep in the ground. Many kinds of birds
live in Death Valley. So do mammals and reptiles (哺乳动物与爬行动物).
The area was named by a woman in 1849. Thousands of people from other parts of the country traveled
to the gold mining (矿) areas. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did. Many
people were not careful. They made bad choices or wrong decisions. One group decided to take
a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December they had reached Death Valley. They first did
not have to survive the terrible heat of summer, but there was still an extreme lack (缺乏) of
water. There were few plants for their work animals to eat.
The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains to the west of the Valley. Slowly,
they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food
and began to walk out of the Valley. As they left, one woman looked back and said, "Good-bye,
death valley." The name has never been changed.
( ) 58. The first two paragraphs are mainly about ________.
A. extreme climate B. high mountains
C. serious pollution D. dry deserts
( ) 59. Although Death Valley is dangerous, it is a place where ________.
A. people like to spend their holidays B. water can easily be found
C. no people have been killed D. lots of animals can survive
( ) 60. It was proved to be a wrong decision ________.
A. to look for gold in the valley B. to take the Old Spanish Trail
C. to get there before other people did D. to kill their work animals for food
( ) 61. In the passage, the writer doesn’t tell us ________ .
A. what the weather is like in the valley
B. why people were travelling in a hurry
C. how plants in the valley get water
D. that the valley has some other names
D
A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.
We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don’t move; they don’t
make sounds, they don’t seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each
other all the time. And the language is chemical.
Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to
tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings
can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can
protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still
mysterious.
In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have
found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.
The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害虫). To start out, they
grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested
and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were
later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were
able to protect themselves better against the pest.They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called
HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those
plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could
fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first
by their friendly plant neighbors.
It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It
may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we
know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.
( ) 62.The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _________ here.
A. reported B. followed C. doubted D. developed
( ) 63. For scientists, the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest_________.
① Place the infested plant upwind.
② Place the uninfested plant downwind.
③ Expose the downwind plants to the pest.
④ Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.
A. ③①②④ B. ①④③② C. ④①②③ D. ④②①③
( ) 64.You can put the sentence “The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants
and unexposed plants.” At the beginning of _________.
A. Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 6
( ) 65.The best title of this passage can be _________.
A. Communicating Plants and Terrible Diseases
B. Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings
C. Protecting Plants and Clear Information
D. Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals

How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager
Financial( 金 融 的 ) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’
spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities
in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending
more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together
and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when
choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.
Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on
his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return,
I’d have lost face,” Xia said.
Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.
Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn
to make a budget（预算）. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions
about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your
wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a
handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.
96. According to the results, how do students spend most their pocket money?
________________________________________________________________________.
97. Which do most students consider when choosing a gift?
________________________________________________________________________
98. How much money can a meal usually cost?
_________________________________________________________________________
99. What suggestion did Zhang Wei give to help students make good use of the pocket money?
_________________________________________________________________________.
100. How do you spend your money wisely?(请自拟一句话作答)
