　　A

　　Despite the fact that it has never been seen, almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn(独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.

　　According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree.

　　When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the power to offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed by drinking the contents of a unicorn’s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was “unicorn” horn? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn” horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.

　　1. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?

　　A. It was not historically recorded

　　B. Its horn was first used in France

　　C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx

　　D. It could be the symbol of a university

　　2. To catch a unicorn, the unicorn-trappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT ____.

　　A. tempting the unicorn to attack

　　B. making use of the tree as a protection

　　C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn

　　D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree

　　3. The last paragraph is mainly about ____.

　　A. the properties of the unicorn horn

　　B. the users of the unicorn horn

　　C. the price of the unicorn horn

　　D. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn

　　4. In the last paragraph, the word “unicorn ” is in quotation marks (引号)because _____.

　　A. the cup is designed only for a royal family

　　B. the unicorn does not exist in reality

　　C. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world

　　D. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated

　　B

　　When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

　　Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

　　This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

　　5. According to the passage, winners

　　.

　　A. deal with problems rather than blame others

　　B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

　　C. have responsible and able colleagues

　　D. blame themselves rather than others

　　6. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

　　.

　　A. avoid

　　B. accept

　　C. improve

　　D. consider

　　7. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should

　　.

　　A. find a better way to handle the problem

　　B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

　　C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

　　D. ask a more able colleague for help

　　8. When problems occur, winners take them as

　　A. excuses for their failures

　　B. barriers to greater power

　　C. challenges to their colleagues

　　D. chances for self-development

　　9. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　D. A Winner’s Achievement.

　　B. A Winner’s Problem.

　　A. A Winner’s Secret.

　　C

　　Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.

　　Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release（释放）poisons that make people sick.

　　Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.

　　Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.

　　When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.

　　Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

　　10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A. Food when poisoned can make people sick.

　　B. Food poisoning means death.

　　C. Food poisoning comes in varieties.

　　D. Food poisoning can be serious.

　　11. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning

　　.

　　A. are always accompanied by a fever

　　B. are too common to be noted

　　C. can be noticed within hours

　　D. can he ignored

　　12. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT

　　.

　　A. some chemicals

　　B. low temperatures

　　C. some tiny living things

　　D. certain natural materials

　　13. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that

　　.

　　A. mushrooms should not be eaten

　　B. vegetables are safer than meat and seafood

　　C. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals

　　D. different types of food should be handled differently

　　D

　　During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they’re busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you’re filling up that after school time, then it’s during the day that they’re going to be taking a break.”

　　Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”

　　It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids… and for the family drivers!

　　14．What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?

　　A．They can get bored easily about everything.

　　B．They might have no time to do the homework.

　　C．They might not pay much attention to learning.

　　D．They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.

　　15．What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?

　　A．It is productive. B．It is helpful. C．It is a bad habit. D．It is a waste of time.

　　16．Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?

　　A．Because children have no time.

　　B．Because children cannot learn many things.

　　C．Because children do not have enough sleep.

　　D．Because children cannot focus on too many activities.

　　17．What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A．Don’t be children’s drivers after school.

　　B．Choose activities for your children wisely.

　　C．Make your children learn as much as possible.

　　D．Let children learn something from various subjects.

　　E(七选五)

　　There is an English saying, “ 18

　　” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.

　　19

　　Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.

　　20

　　If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.

　　Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme.

　　21

　　22

　　They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

　　A. Laughter can surely last one’s life.

　　B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.

　　C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.

　　D. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet.

　　E. They have proved that laughter can really cure any disease if people keep a good state of mind.

　　F. Laughter is the best medicine.

　　G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
