第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.
Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn’t stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.
In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didn’t get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.
Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there — he is the only person who has had this honor.
1、What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Brief. B．Slight.
C．Lasting. D．Ordinary.
2、What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?
A．Tasting chemicals. B．Staying in the empty lab.
C．Experimenting in darkness. D．Working together with others.
3、What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?
A．He was buried in the Tanami desert.
B．Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.
C．One comet of Jupiter was named after him.
D．A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.
4、The text is mainly about three great scientists’ _____.
A．special honors B．great achievements
C．famous experiments D．suffering in the job

Hello,
The International Student Center has heard of several frauds(诈骗) that are targeting international students. Someone may call and say that they are from:
·Immigration Canada
·home country’s Embassy
·Canada Revenue Agency
·Police Department
In most situations, the caller will request that you make a payment or you will face serious consequences when returning to your home country. They may talk or threaten until you make a payment. While there is no way that these fraudsters can know you are an international student (they call Canadians too), here are some things that you should know in order to better protect yourself:
·UTSC provides you with FREE Immigration advising and application help (for Study &Work Permits, Visas, Permanent Residence, and Citizenship).
·Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)，and Canadian Border Services Agency ( CBSA) will not call you, and will not ask for money or personal information by phone. If you call them, you will have to identify yourself.
·Embassies will not threaten you to make a payment or request an investigation fee due to a fake (伪造的) passport.
·Never feel like you need to pay anyone money right away. Ask for an employee number and hang up. You can call back the company (find their number online) and ask about your situation to confirm.
·Be skeptical of anyone asking you to make a payment.
·Think twice before clicking the we blinks provided and make sure they will actually go where they say.
·If you feel that you have been the victim of a fraud, you should report this to the police in the region where you live (e.g. Toronto Police Services). You can also inform Campus Police.
·If you’re not sure about something, WAIT. Come to the ISC (IC-350) and meet with a Transition Advisor. We can help you understand what’s happening.

Reading is good for babies in developing their intelligence and interest. Mom would read to me if I was a baby, that developed my love for reading. As I grew elder and could read by myself, my father often takes me to book-stores and left me there reading.
On my birthdays, the gifts sending by my parents are always books. It is them who let me know benefits of reading.
Personally, I feel strong that reading does us lots of goods. It can broaden our horizons and make us more intelligent. Additionally, it is helpful in our learning, especially in writing about good compositions.
So let's start reading now.
