However, history is quite fascinating and interesting. Read out the very interesting and fun facts from History.Shorted War Ever England and Zanzibar holds the title of shorted war in the world of history. They fought in the year 1896 and the war lasted only for 38 minutes, where Zanzibar gave in to England.Longest Reign Pepi II is the only emperor who ruled Egypt for the longest reign in the history ever until now. The period of his reign was from 2566 BC to 2476 BC.Guards of Great Wall of China Few of you may realize that one of the Seven Wonders of the Worldthe Great Wall of China, is protected by special guards. This group of men not just guarded the Great Wall of China, but also devoted their lives to it. The group lived there from birth to death. They grew up, worked as guards, got married, had children whose duty was also to keep guard, and died there. In fact, the dead guards were buried in the wall itself.Funny Fact Romans had some unique practices and traditions. One such funny practice is they mixed the human urine ( 尿 ) in the process of making toothpaste! How strange it is!Women in the Ancient Ages Women were not provided equal freedom or independence like men in the ancient ages. In ancient days, in Greece, woman were sentenced to death if they watch the Olympic Games.Unknown Last Words Albert Einstein was seriously ill in his last days. He was looked after by an American nurse and he expressed a few words just before he had his last breath. Unfortunately, since his nurse could not understand German, the last words were buried with him. 21. How long did PePi II rule Egypt? A. 38 years B. 90 years C. 100 years D. 80 years22.

Interesting and Fun Facts from History B. What You Havent Known in HistoryC. History, Not Boring But Interesting D. The History Events in The Ancient AgesBEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student ( 技校学生 ). Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls(光荣榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose. My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts ( 零件）from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else. My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.24. What used to be the authors hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction. D. To reach the authors unachieved goals.25. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_.A. His son had the ability to fix it.B. it would save him much time.C. it wouldnt cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help.26. In the authors eyes, motorheads are _.A. tidy and hardworking B. cheerful and smartC. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude27. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.C Sure, its good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people youll meet throughout your life.But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.As a kid in elementary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. Youre able to take in lots of new and exciting information. Apart from that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class.28. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_. A. new materials learned from teachers B. ways to develop relationship with teachers C. benefits in getting along with teachers D. avoiding problems happening around kids29. Whats the writers attitude towards getting along with teachers? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Uncaring. D. Favorable.30. What can we know from the passage? A. Kids are unable to understand lots of exciting information. B. Kids are bullied while communicating with others in schools. C. Kids will leave the class when not doing quite well with their teachers. D. Kids will leave the class when not satisfied with teachers teaching methods.31. The passage is most probably taken from_. A. childrens literature.B. an education magazine C. a science reportD. an advertisementDSix years ago, Gracie escaped from my boyfriends backyard around 2:00 p.m. We searched the neighborhood for hours but had no luck. She was gone. By dark, we returned home, exhausted. On the second day, I called the animal shelter. Nothing. I felt lost, defeated. If I knew Gracie had been killed, I would have been heartbroken. If I knew she was caught somewhere, I would rescue her. If I knew she had found a better home, I would be sad yet relieved. But how do I deal with the unknown? Pray? Wait patiently? Search endlessly? Give up? The third day, while I was searching in the woods with my friend Rhea, I confessed that losing Gracie was like losing faith in everything. Rheas smiled and said, “ You know, maybe Gracies on a great adventure.” It seems strange, but I felt better then. Rheas words reminded me of what, as a writer, I definitely have faith in : the power of story. As one writer said, all we have is stories. Its what holds our life together. We call some stories science , some stories myth, but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round or that solid matter is mostly hollow. Such stories only become real when we believe them. And some stories are never supported with scientific fact, but they still seem to hold true. So why not imagine now, as Rhea suggested, that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side? The fourth day started with me finding a coin on the sidewalk. Id always thought of finding money as a good sign. And I was convinced it meant Gracie would come home on the fifth day. I guess it was another story to hold on to. 32. When Gracie was found missing, _.A. the author blamed her boyfriend severely B. the author knew it was difficult to find itC. the author felt worried and heartbrokenD. the author was too exhausted to hunt for it33. It can be learned from the second paragraph that _.A. the author was convinced the dog never returned C. the author raised suspicions about her boyfriends neighborsB. the author was really at a loss what she should doD. the author decide to turn to others for help34. Hearing what Rhea had said, the author _.A. decided to change his former thinking B. believed his Gracie took interest in adventureC. thought Rhea played a big joke on himD. hoped to use a story to get his Gracie back35. what will be followed with the passage ?A. The author had a book about Gracie published.B. The author make scientific research about dogsC. The author would never raise a dog from then.D. The author would get good news about Gracie第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.Tricks to Remember WordsMemorizing new vocabulary can seem like a difficult task at first, but if you use some strategies you will find your vocabulary expanding rapidly.Break It DownOne key to memorization success is to attempt a manageable workload.
