A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four BMy favorite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Hes a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures (冒险). He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave. and finally, they find a box of gold. My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time. and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but theyre also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Toms best friend. and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story. The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior. Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but its still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although its only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today its thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on- read it! I know youll enjoy it, too. ( )34.Where does Tom run away with his two friends? A. To a quiet street. B. To a small town. C. To an island. D. To a forest. ( )35.Who is the bad man in the story? A. Huck Finn. B. Injun Joe. C. Becky. D. Polly. ( )36.The whole book is mainly about _.

But new discoveries offer a bit more hope that some forms of life existed there in the pastand perhaps is still there at present. Methane (甲烷) and water have been found on the red planet. They both show the possibility of life.According to a new report, the Mars rover Curiosity (好奇号火星探测器) has checked some methane in the air. This kind of gas is also found in Earths atmosphere (大气层). It es from animal and plant life, and from the environment itself. If theres methane in Marss atmosphere, where is it from? Scientists are not sure. But it marks a big change. In September xx, Curiosity found there was almost no methane in the Martian air. Just months later, however, the rover picked up a bit of this kind of gas.“It surprised us,” says Christopher Webster in California. He is the lead scientist for the instrument on the rover that checks methane. Webster says, “Every time we looked there was methane. But finding out whats responsible for methane is really important.”The discovery of water on Mars is nothing new. For about ten years, scientists have had facts that it appeared on the surface of the planet millions of years ago. But according to another new report from Curiosity, while the surface water on Mars seems to be long gone, theres a lot more of it left than most people realize.But where there is (or was) water, there could be (or could have been) life.( )38. The rover has discovered _ on Mars recently.A. menB. lifeC. oilD. methane( )39. The underlined word “It” refers to _.A. the discovery of methane on Mars B. the sign of green men on MarsC. Marss atmosphere D. the red planet( )40. Whats Websters main job?A. To do some experiments. B. To manage the instrument on the rover.C. To search for methane on Mars. D. To find out if there is water on Mars.( )41. Whats the best title of this passage?A. The future of MarsB. The history of MarsC. More hope for life on Mars D. Chances of working on MarsDAt East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.“Its been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”The measure is part of a national“eat-up”campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste in campuses(校园).Why only in campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle.” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League mittee at Shanghai University.But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.“Im glad that weve reduced food waste since the eat-upcampaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard in campuses.” said Tao. ( )42. The underlined word motivation in Paragraph 2 means _ _ in Chinese.

Suddenly, you feel so nervous that you cant answer the questions. If this sounds like you, you may have a case of test anxiety- the nervous feeling that people sometimes get when theyre about to take a test. Test anxiety can be a real problem when someone is so stressed out over a test that he or she cant focus on the test questions and do his or her best work. Feeling ready to meet the challenge, though, can keep test anxiety at a manageable level. Use a little stress to your advantage. Stress is a signal that helps you prepare for something important that is about to happen. Instead of reacting to the stress by worrying or plaining about the test with friends, let stress remind you to study well before a test.Ask for help. If having a test stresses you out so much that your mind goes blank and causes you to miss answers that you know, then your level of test anxiety probably needs your care. You should talk to your teacher if you get extreme test anxiety.Be prepared. Some students think that going to class is all it takes to learn and do well in tests, but there is much more to learning than just hoping to take in everything in class. That is why good study habits and skills are so important -and why no amount of cramming (临时死记硬背) or study the night before a test can take the place of the deeper level of learning that happens over time with regular study. Also, take care of your health-by getting enough sleep, exercise, and eating well before a test -can help keep your mind working at its best.Everything takes time and practice, and learning to beat test anxiety is no different. It wont go away overnight, but facing and dealing with test anxiety will help you deal with stress management, which is a valuable skill in many situations besides taking tests. 57 is test anxiety?It is a 58 feeling that people sometimes get when they are about to take a test.It can be a 59 problem 60 on solving the problem of test anxiety1.Use a little stress to your advantage.

Finally, I was so interested in the wonderful characters and the surprising plot of the novel t 71 I pletely forgot that I was reading the book in English.
