A
Clive was climbing an old tree on Butter Hill. His father and Mr. Drew were deeply absorbed in conversation not far away, which Clive could overhear.
“...North Dakota, capital Bismarck, ”said Clive’s father.
“Yes; and of South Dakota it’s Pierre. Delaware next, capital Dover, with a population of only 5, 000…”
Clive listened, checking the names. When they got stuck on Indiana(印第安纳州), he came down the tree and went across to them.
“Let me see now, ”Mr. Drew was saying, “Indiana, Indiana... the capital must be Fort Wayne. ”
“No, ”said the other, “I think it’s Evansville. ”
“Indianapolis, ”said Clive. “That’s the easiest of all to remember. ”
Both the men laughed. “He’s right, you know, ”Mr. Drew said. Clive’s father agreed, “Yes, yes. Indiana, Indianapolis. Now Kansas...”
Clive, who was thirteen then, was not very clever at school. But at that moment he felt rather proud of himself.
Looking back now, after many years, Clive remembers some of the ways he learned geography. One thing he remembers clearly is the “test”that took place every other week. The teacher used to pin up a big map on the board-China perhaps, or the United States, Australia or Europe... The map would have everything on it, except the names. The teacher, pointing with a long, wooden stick, began.
“Ready? Fifty questions. Number 1-write the name of this river. Number 2-the name of this State. 3-its capital, here. 4-the name of this bay. 5...”
Clive has quite forgotten whether he enjoyed learning geography or not. He didn’t consider the rights or wrongs. Though he has never studied geography since he left school, he has never forgotten it. He is glad about the way he learned. The work might have been dull, unexciting; but if so, the dullness has given him a lifetime of interest, understanding and pleasure.
56. The passage shows that the two men ________.
A). gave Clive a regular test in geography B). were interested in geography
C). liked some modern ways of teaching D). discouraged Clive feeling of pride
57. The maps were suitable for their purpose because ________.
A). they didn’t give any names B). they showed everything that the students had learnt
C). they made the test hard D). they made it easy to remember things
58. Which of the following is TRUE?
A). Clive’s geography was poor. B). Clive’s geography teacher didn’t teach well.
C). Clive’s teacher taught geography well. D). Clive’s was proud of his cleverness.
59. Now that he has grown up, Clive thinks that ________.
A). learning places are not at all that important
B). his geography lessons must have been enjoyable
C). he was lucky to have been taught in that way
D). unless the work is interesting you won’t remember it

LONDON(Reuters)—A French woman who had the world’s first partial face transplant has spoken of her amazement at seeing her new appearance, the Daily Mail newspaper said on Saturday.
The 38-year-old woman experienced the operation to give her a new nose, chin and mouth at a hospital in the northern French city of Amiens last month.
“When I looked at my new face, I knew straight away that it was me,” the paper quoted the woman, who was damaged after her dog injured her badly, as saying. “It was simply amazing to see a nose and mouth on my face.”
The woman, who is recovering in a hospital in Lyon, told the paper that the dog attack had left her so damaged that she had been forced to wear a mask.
People in the street would recoil from her in horror, she said, and even one of her own two daughters found her appearance unbearable. “Old people were the worst, they used to stop and stare at me all the time,” she said, “My elder daughter Lucie just didn’t want to see me—I had to wear a mask. If I didn’t she refused to see me.”
Earlier this week the woman asked journalists to respect her privacy after her operation attracted the media.
The paper said the woman now wanted to live a normal life but was worried about what reaction there might be when she leaves hospital.
60.What made the French woman so disfigured?
A). Her falling over. B).A big fire. C).A car accident. D). Her pet’s attack.
61.The underlined word “recoil” in paragraph 5 probably means_____________.
A). laugh at B). move back C). whisper D). scream
62.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A). The operation on the woman proved successful.
B). The woman felt amazed when she saw her new face.
C). The media have reported a lot about the woman and the operation.
D). Before operation, the people who hate to meet her most were her husband and children.
63.It can be inferred from the text that_________.
A). the woman may still be the focus of attention for some time
B). the woman will never live a normal life after the operation
C). the woman dislikes the journalists’ disturbing of her privacy
D). the woman still need to wear a mask any more
C
Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
"On the contrary, "says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology(心理学), "daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day... You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识的)mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues. "
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, "We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures...Day dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life. "
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling(处理)them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don't stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.
64. The writer of the passage considers daydreams _____ .
A). hard to understand B). important and helpful
C). unimportant and harmful D). the same as sleep dreams
65. The writer quoted L.Giambra and Eric Klinger to __________.
A). point out the wrong ideas of early experts B). list two different ideas
C). support his own idea D). report the latest research on daydreams
66. Which of the following is TRUE?
A). An unconscious mind can work all the problems out
B). Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creation
C). Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L.Giambra
D). Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.
67. What is the main difference between daydreams and sleep dreams ?
A). People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times
B). Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that of conscious mind
C). Daydreams are more harmful
D). Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems

Stingrays(黄貂鱼)
Stingrays are pancake-shaped fish, and you’d never guess it: they’re close cousins of sharks. The smallest kinds are about the size of a dinner plate. But some 4-metre stingrays live in the waters near Australia.
About 170 different kinds of stingrays live in the oceans around the world. And some live in freshwater too. In South America, a few kinds swim in the Amazon and other rivers that flow into the Atlantic. One ocean kind, the Atlantic stingray, also lives in the St. Johns River in Florida.
A stingray has a mouth and nostrils(鼻孔) on the bottom of its body. These nostrils are for smelling, not for breathing.
When water flows into a stingray’s nostrils, the fish may pick up the smells of creatures it wants to eat. It can also find prey(牺牲者) by sensing the tiny amount of electricity that animals give off. Slowly, slowly the fish hunts by moving along the ocean or river bottom. When it senses a worm, clam, shrimp, or other creature, it flaps (拍打) its fins until the prey is uncovered. Then the fish lies down over the prey, sucks it in, and crunches it with its small teeth.
A stingray’s flat shape helps it hide. It stirs up a cloud of sand by flapping its big, flat fins. When the sand settles down over the fish, everything is covered but its eyes, breathing holes, and sometimes its tail.
Its tail gave the “sting” to a stingray’s name. When a stingray is attacked by an enemy, it whips its tail around. Then a sharp stinger releases a powerful poison into the enemy. When stingrays are on the ocean bottom, it’s easy for a diver to step on one by mistake. Then the fish usually stings the person in the ankle. The poison is very painful, and the wound may hurt for a day or two. Worse yet, pieces of the stinger can break off and infect the ankle. But stingrays don’t chase after prey or people to sting them. In fact, divers can swim among friendly stingrays without getting hurt.
72. Why did the author write the article “Stingrays”?
A). To tell readers an exciting story about the ocean.
B). To give readers facts about an interesting fish.
C). To warn readers about dangers in the ocean.
D). To teach readers how fish hunt their prey.
73. It is easy for a diver to step on a stingray by mistake because stingrays _________
A). are of many different sizes
B). can cover themselves with sand
C). move slowly above the ocean floor
D). live in freshwater as well as in oceans
74. Why does a stingray flap its fins when it feels prey?
A). To smell the prey. B). To escape the prey.
C). To frighten the prey. D). To find the prey.
75. How might a sting from a stingray become infected?
A). Pieces of the stinger come loose in the wound.
B). Poison from the stinger gets into the wound.
C). Electricity from the stinger shocks the wound.
D). Fins beside the stinger throw sand into the wound.

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.

We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure.
Some fall in low spirits when they don't do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.
