When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. Then
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
1. We should take good care of our eyes .
A. only when we can see well
B. only when we cannot see perfectly
C. even if we can see well

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and s o on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. [来源:Zxxk.Com]
In fact， happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school， your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons， your parent s are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success， your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong， people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others， you will feel happy， too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them， you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor， you can also say you are very happy， because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties， you can say loudly you are very happy， because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes， life is like a revolving(旋转 ) door. When it closes， it also opens. If you take every chance you get， you can be a happy and lucky person.

5. Which is the title of the passage?

66 Days at Sea
A couple from Miami， Bill and Simone Bultler， spent sixty-six days in a life-raft（救生艇） in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat，Siboney，they met some whales. “They started to hit the side of the boat，” said Bill， “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later， the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food， biscuits， and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water – two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw（生的）. Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed， and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them， but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain（船长） carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

From a plane we can see the fields， cities， mountains or seas below. If we go into space， we see more and more of the earth. People and man-made satellites have been sent out into space to look at the earth carefully and people have learnt more about the earth in the last few years.
The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind.
The sea is very big. It nearly covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. There is one place and at that place the sea is about 11 kilometers deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain was put into the sea at that place， there would be still 2 kilometers of water above it!
In most parts of the sea， there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things， and lots of fishes live by eating them.
The sea can be very cold. When people go down， the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But， in 1970， five women scientists (科学家) lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.

Blink: a boy, aged 18
Birth date: October 15th, 1991
Speaking: English, Russian
Now in: Dodge City, Kansas
From: Pratt, Kansas
Learning: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish
About me: I love all outdoor activities, especially playing ball games, traveling, and climbing. I play the guitar, and can say that I’m really good at it. I also like playing chess, but I don’t play it well. If you’re good at it, maybe you can teach me. I’m going to college this September. All I really want to do during the summer holiday is travel, teach, and learn languages (this is my hobby), see things, and build great friendships. I’d like people aged 17-20 to get in touch with me, both girls and boys. It’s better if you’re from Beijing or Tokyo. I’ve made 15 friends over the Internet. If you’d like to be one of them, send me an email at blink001@yahoo.com. My MSN is blink001@hotmail.com. I’d love to be your friend!
Where is Blink now?
In Dodge City. B. In Pratt. C. In Beijing. D. In Tokyo.
What is Blink NOT good at?
Playing the guitar. B. Playing ball games.
C. Playing chess. D. Learning languages.
What is Blink’s purpose of writing this passage?
To make friends. B. To go on a trip.
C. To learn foreign languages. D. To introduce his hobbies.
B
For many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size. I imagined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many people with weight problems also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for. We
fantasize(幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally bring us happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Different cultures have different standards ( 标 准 ) of beauty. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us struggle hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and care for ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.
24．The passage tries to stress the importance of .
A. body size B. different beauty standards
C. culture difference D. attitudes towards life
25．What does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The whole world. B. All the problems.
C. All the dreams. D. All the truth.
26．What can be inferred about the author?
The author is a Samoan.
The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
The author succeeded in losing weight.
The author has been troubled by her / his weight.
27．Which of the following statements is true?
One’s happiness is determined by a person’s weight.
Not all countries take being thin as the standard of beauty.
It’s entirely wrong to care about whether a person is fat or not.
Once a person loses weight, he/she won’t gain back the weight easily.
C
Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to join in an exchange study program. The moment I arrived in Paris, I was greeted by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. The bit of French I had taken in high school began coming out of my mouth; speaking the language would only become more natural over the course of the term. At the airport, we all got into the couple’s car and began the journey to their townhouse. We talked the whole way, getting to know one another.
Every day afterwards, I would eat breakfast with the two of them, and then we’d all go our separate ways for the day. In the evening, my host mother would make delicious dinners for the three of us. My experience was exciting until I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（协调人）: There had been a death in my host parents' family and they would have to go away for several weeks to deal with all the business that arises from the death. That afternoon, I had to move out of one family's house and into another.
The coordinator told me I'd have a roommate and asked whether I would mind sharing a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid speaking my native language, I asked not to be placed with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I introduced myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人）, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs on his computer! In just a few hours, we knew we'd be good friends for the rest of the term.
I left France with many stories, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they always hear about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends exploring France we enjoyed together. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful friendships.
What do we learn about the author?
He was good at French before arriving in Paris.
He studied in France for a term.
He got to his host family by taxi.
D. He worked very hard in France on weekends.
Why did the author move into another host family?
He wanted to make friends with different people.
The first family’s host mother was seriously ill.
The first family had to leave for some time.
D. He hoped to live with an English speaker.
What helped start the author’s friendship with Paolo?
Lessons B. Stories C. Music D. English
Why did the author write the text?
To show the importance of learning foreign cultures.
To discuss how to build meaningful friendships.
To explain how exchange study programs work.
To describe his experiences in an exchange program.
D
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another 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（迁徙）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it
spends its life. When it is cold, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse.
