These people are studying English. However, they are now facing some problems.

I am Pablo. I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver, so I talk to people all day. They understand me, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. No one corrects me. My vocabulary is strong. Grammar is my problem. I'm trying to change little by little. For example, I don't use the past tense (时态). I always say, “I drive him to the office this morning” instead of “I drove him to the office this morning”. My name is Maria Luisa. I'm teaching myself English, and I'm good at grammar. However, it's really difficult to find ways to practice English. I live in an area where everyone speaks my language. My neighbors and friends speak Spanish. I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the post office. I am Li Ping. I understand the grammar and the readings in my class and I think my writing is good, but I'm very nervous when I speak English. I don't want to make any mistakes because I'm afraid people will think that I'm stupid. Also, my pronunciation isn't good. When I speak, people often say, “What? Say that again”. I am Yoshi. I have been in the United States for one year. I'm studying hard and I know grammar well, but the vocabulary is very difficult. When I listen, I don't understand many of the words. When I try to read, there are three or four new words in every sentence. I feel discouraged. 21. Who may say, “I go to bed late last night”? A. Pablo. B. Maria Luisa. C. Li Ping. D. Yoshi.

In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been wounded by a sick dog that had rabies, a very dangerous disease. His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Joseph's life — Louis Pasteur.

When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.

As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor (教授) and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.

Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph,

but the poor child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.

During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that prevent many of these diseases. On September 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine. 25. The story of Joseph Meister is given to _____. A. express the author's sadness B. introduce the subject of the text C. show some common diseases in 1885 D. warn children to stay away from dogs 26. According to the text, young Louis _____. A. was once badly hurt by a dog B. was very interested in medicine C. made a living by working for a chemist D. had been thought highly of by his teachers

27. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur _____. A. was always patient B. was clever but proud C. was a slow learner D. was a humorous professor

28. What would be the best title for the text? A. Germs and diseases B. Rabies: a terrible disease C. The earliest chemist in France D. Louis Pasteur: a great scientist

C

Navarathri, which is celebrated throughout India, falls in September or October. On the first three days, people pray (祈祷) to the goddess Durga, the protector who destroys all evil (邪恶). The next three days they pray to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Then, also for three days, they look to Saraswathi, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The tenth and final day of the festival is for the goddess Durga. On this day many years ago, Durga killed the evil buffalo-headed monster (怪物), Mahishasura.

My daughter and I took out the models of the gods and goddesses that we had stored away last year. Soon the room was littered with all kinds of dolls. We usually buy at least one new doll every year. On the tenth day, the dolls are carefully put away. If a doll is too damaged to be shown, it is never thrown away. Instead, it is put deep into the seas.

In our hallway six long wooden steps are set up. First, we spread a thick white cloth (布) over the steps. Now it's time to put the dolls on the steps carefully. Every year, the gollu is different. Sometimes — as the collection grows — there is no space to fit all of the dolls on the steps. Smaller dolls can also be placed on the floor.

Every night there are prayers, music, dancing, and a large meal for many people. In northern India, the children sing songs while doing the dandiya raas, a traditional dance. Every dancer also has two wooden sticks — called dandiya — that he or she uses to make a sound in time to the lovely music. Dancing the dandiya raas helps people think of the true meaning of Navarathri — togetherness, laughter, and fun! 29. According to Paragraph 1, Navarathri _____. A. is just celebrated in Northern India B. usually takes place in the winter C. is in memory of Durga D. lasts for about ten days

30. How do Indians deal with the dolls used at Navarathri? A. They always take good care of the dolls. B. They usually throw away the broken dolls. C. They have to buy many new dolls every year.

D. They keep the dolls in the hallway for a month.

31. The underlined words “the gollu” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _____. A. the collection of Indian songs B. the number of wooden steps C. the showing of the dolls D. the color of the cloth

32. What is mainly described in the text? A. Some traditional dances B. Three goddesses in India C. The history of Navarathri D. A popular festival in India

D

The United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.

The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.

This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the

street, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado. 33. What can we learn about tornadoes in America? A. They may appear in groups. B. They usually happen in the summer.

C. There are more tornadoes in the Eastern States. D. There are more than 1,000 tornadoes every year.

34. The tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999 _____. A. took place at the same time B. were the biggest in history C. came and went quickly D. brought death and destruction

35. What will the author most probably talk about next? A. Tornado dangers and warning signs. B. How to stay safe during a tornado. C. Different kinds of tornadoes. D. How a tornado forms.

Cats in ancient Egypt

Many of us love cats. They are beautiful, soft, clever and loving. The ancient Egyptians (埃及人) considered cats, also known as Mau, to be very important. They honored them with great respect (尊敬). 36 For one thing, cats helped people by keeping their homes free of mice, rats, and snakes.

Without cats Egypt could not have been the important grain-growing (谷物种植) center that it was. 37 Though I don't know what other pets the Egyptians had, cats were probably the most important. Cats were also trained to help hunters (猎人). 38 The Egyptians loved cats so much that Bast, an Egyptian goddess, was pictured in the form of a cat. Bast appeared in artwork. She was the protector of the house. This idea made a special connection between cats and children. 39 The safety of all cats was of great concern to ancient Egyptians. 40 Foreigners sometimes took cats out of Egypt secretly and took them to other lands. They traded them for treasures in these lands. Egyptian soldiers were sent to pick up cats found in other countries and bring them back home to Egypt. A. There were good reasons for that.

B. Two types of cats appeared in ancient Egypt. C. In grain fields, cats helped catch rats and mice. D. They were able to help pick up the wounded birds. E. There were even laws against getting a cat out of Egypt. F. Anyone who killed a cat on purpose would be put to death. G. That's why most Egyptian families had cats for good luck.
