They have a big farm and they are always busy working on it. Their son, Peter, studied at a middle school. The young man studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them happy.   Last month Peter finished middle school and passed the entrance examination. Mrs. Turner was very happy and told the farmers about it.   Yesterday morning the woman went to the town to buy something for her son. On the bus she told one of her friends how clever and able her son was. She spoke very loudly. All the people in the bus began to listen to her.   “Which university will your son study in?” a woman next to her asked.   “In the most famous university in our country!” Mrs. Turner said happily.   “The most famous university?”   “Oxford University.”   Most of the passengers looked at her carefully. Some of them said to her, “Congratulations!”   A woman said, “I'm sure he'll know Fred Smith.”   “Who's Fred Smith?”   “He's my son.”   “Does he study in the university, too?”   “No, ”said the woman. “He is one of the professors.”   l.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.   “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool. “You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.   We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.   But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.   1. We know that the word “cool” has ________.   A. only one meaning        B. no meanings   C. many different meanings  D. the same meaning   2. In the passage, the word “express” means“________”.   A. see  B. show  C. know  D. feel   3. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It's cool.”   A. interested in  B. angry about   C. afraid of    D. unhappy with   4. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used.   A. pleased with  B. strange to   C. worried about  D. careful with   5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________.    A. can be used instead of many words   B. usually means something interesting   C. can make your life colourful   D. may not be as cool as it seems 阅读理解3   A meteorite (陨石) almost hit an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden. The meteorite was the biggest in the past 26 years in Britain.   The meteorite weighed (重量) one kilo, and might be over four thousand million years old.   “I hear the big noise in the air. I looked up and saw the tops of the trees coming and going,” he said. “I didn't know what it was.”   Meteorites are small things from the small planets in space. About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found. Mr. Pettifer's meteorite is the fifth to fall in Britain since the Second World War.   Mr. Pettifer is glad. “When you think about it coming from so far away, it really is something strange.”   1. The meteorite was ______ Mr Pettifer when it fell down.   A. close to　 B. far from　 C. hitting　 D. coming to   2. The meteorite was already ______ years old.   A. 40,000,000,000   B. 40,000,000   C. 400,000,000   D. 4,000,000,000   3. Mr. Pettifer found the tops of the trees coming and going because ______.   A. the trees were afraid　   B. the fast falling meteorite kept the tree tops moving   C. it was going to rain　   D. the moving was made by wind   4. ______ people see a meteorite fall although they visit the earth often each year.   A. Quite a few 　B. some 　C. Few 　D. Many   5. Mr. Pettifer was ______ to see the falling of the meteorite.   A. happy   B. afraid   C. sorry   D. angry 阅读理解4   One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.   I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.   My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.   It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here   will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.   You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.   1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.   A. terrible  B. bad  C. good  D. real   2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?   A. A fire starting        B. A plane flying   C. A terrible accident      D. An act of terrorism.   3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.   A. people should make the most of every minute they have   B. he has become less tolerant towards others   C. he should get worried about little things   D. life is too short to care about others. 4. What’s the best title of this passage?   A. A Report about September 11   B. The Tragedy of September 11   C. September 11 and My Family   D. September 11 and My Turn. 阅读理解5 　Mrs. Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said：Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel?

They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.   Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become desert. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry places. Plants don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the earth away. When a little bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water. Without the plants，the land can become a desert much more easily.   1. Why can the land become a desert?   A.

In the morning，when everybody was enjoying holiday，earthquake began. It was about 7.5 on the Ritcher scale. “There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down，”said one of the villagers alive. “There is no water，no food and no one has come to help.”   Nobody died in Pakistan，a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American School，where I was studying，all of the students were safe. They were on the field，so most children didn't feel anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However，though Mrs. Young was also on the second floor，she didn't feel anything. She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr. Emend，the math teacher from Australia，said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him，but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr. Emend felt better. Mrs. Davis and Mr. Frost didn't feel anything either.   My mother didn't feel anything.

It sometimes makes me angry，” said Zhang Hua，a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?   One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent，he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you，from the time you were born. They do a lot for you，though something would make you angry，because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends，the food you eat，your work at school，how much sleep you get，etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.   So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.   Most of all，try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday，when you become a parent，they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.   1.
