Passage B
话题:动物植物 词数:266 参考用时:6分钟
Do you know why so many animals do not stay in one place? Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”(鲑鱼). This fish is born in freshwater but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it will return to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
1. The reason for most of the animals to move is ________.
A. to get away from un-crowded places B. to find their own parents
C. to want to kill themselves D. to find food more easily
2. Where does young salmon(鲑鱼) spend its life?
A. In fresh water. B. In salt water.
C. In mountain homes. D. In its birthplace.
3. When do the lobsters(龙虾) begin to move another place?
A. When their homes become too crowded. B. When the season of the bad weather arrives.
C. When they want to give birth. D. When their food is eaten up.
4. The underlined word migration in the passage means ________.
A. 迁徙 B. 习性 C. 运动 D. 寻觅

Passage C
话题:科技文化 词数:280 参考用时:6分钟
Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.
Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.
Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily find a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.
Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long asthe doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!
1. Benjamin Franklin founded the first lending library in _______.
A. 1731 B. 1800 C. 1886 D. 1919
2.How many public libraries have free Internet now?

A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ③④①② D. ①②③④
4. The last paragraph mainly tells us_________.
A. libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education
B. public libraries in the US should never close the doors
C. the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin
D. libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom
