She also took pictures of the food. However, Martha was very honest about the food. She did not just describe the food. She judged the taste and health of the food. Martha also began to use her blog (博客) for an important reason. She began to raise money for the organization Marys Meals in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food for children in schools for free. Martha encouraged her readers to send money to Marys Meals to help build a kitchen.But then, Martha began to have a problem. Many people read her blog. She became big news. The news stories showed that the food at Marthas school was not always healthy. And that made some people angry. So the school officials decided to stop Marthas blog. They said that she could not take her camera to school.But an amazing thing happened. Many people began sending messages of support across the Internet. Marthas story was even bigger than before. Now the officials had to change their minds. A few days later, Martha was again writing her blog. But more than that, people had sent a lot of money for the Malawi school children. Martha had hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the total reached 100,000 dollars and still kept on growing!Marthas blog also helped to improve meals at her school. One day she wrote: As we waited for dinner we were told that we are allowed to eat as much fruit and bread as we want. No one knows what will happen to Marthas blog in future.

Aliens are beings that are believed to exist by many people. Is there evidence that aliens are real? Let us find out.Aliens have often been in the news. They have always been surrounded (包围) by mystery and interest of people all around the world. Some people have claimed (声称) to have been taken away by aliens. Some have claimed to have actually seen them. But there has been no certain evidence for the idea that aliens exist.Alien sightings have mostly involved sights of ape-like (类猿的) creatures or humanlike figures seen in the dark. At times, some people have even found blood or hair at the locations where aliens were seen. But it is likely that these sightings are of bears or apes. Possibly, people mistake bears or apes for aliens. Alien sightings could have probably been a result of human imagination followed with fear.Media (媒体) have always described aliens as having humanlike figures traveling in plate-shaped space vehicles. Aliens have long since appeared in films. The media image of aliens is perhaps deeply rooted in the minds of mon people. It makes them believe in the reality of aliens. Aliens described in literature have always influenced young minds. But have media been able to produce any evidence that aliens exist? Probably, not!Alien sightings have mostly been followed with sightings of light in the night sky. People who claim to have seen aliens said they have witnessed mysterious lights in the sky. Some of them have also believed that the light came from the spaceships used by aliens. Plate-shaped objects traveling across the sky have often been taken as aliens space vehicles. People have seen certain mysterious objects floating in the sky and called them aliens. Researchers say that some of these sightings might just be certain astronomical phenomena (天文现象).Unless aliens e to Earth and e into contact with us, we may not be able to say for sure that aliens are real. Dont you think so?59. According to the third paragraph, alien sightings are most likely to be _. A. imaginary B. similar C. serious D. scientific 60.

Alien reports from different peopleCIn 1956 Brazils President wanted to move the capital city from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia. He chose a skilled and experienced Brazilian architect (建筑师) to build Brasilia. His name was Oscar Niemeyer.Niemeyer was born in Rio de Janiero in 1907. He was a well respected architect by the time he was 30 years old. Niemeyer was a great artist. His designs were very different than other buildings at the time. Most other buildings had straight lines up and down. Niemeyer liked to build using half circles. Niemeyer was very excited to design the main buildings of Brasilia. He designed a building called The Palace of the Dawn. It was a house for Brazils President. This building looks like it is floating (漂浮) above the ground. It has half circles around it. They are very light and beautiful. A lake around the palace reflects (映出) these shapes.Niemeyer also designed the National Congress building. This government building has many parts. The biggest part is two tall towers that rise straight up into the air. On one side of this is a white building. It is shaped like a bowl that a person would eat out of. On the other side is a building in the opposite shape. These shapes are not the usual design of government buildings.“If you go to see Brasilia, you may or may not like the buildings, but you could never say you had seen something similar before,” Niemeyer said. “It is important that the designer think of more than design. The architects role is to produce an architecture that serves everyone not just a group of important people,” he said.Today, Niemeyers buildings do just this. Brasilia is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site (联合国教科文组织世界遗产). People from all over the world e to Brasilia to see Niemeyers buildings. Their beautiful design continues to inspire (启示) people and will continue to do so for many years.63.

Doing both would be perfect of course and maybe some people would say you cannot separate the two. As a foreigner, I arrived in China in September xx and have been lucky enough to teach English at a small university in a city in Zhejiang Province, about an hours drive from Hangzhou. In spite of starting off with the best of intentions (意图) to learn Chinese, in each term something seemed to throw me off track. In the first term, it was a bad cold and judging some public English speaking petitions, and then the death of my father that sent me home for a while. But if I miss out on Chinese lessons again this year, Ill meet and make friends with several of the Chinese teachers at the university who also teach English. Its been a wonderful thing to be weled into their lives, to be taken and trusted as a friend. My Chinese friends and I have dinner together every Friday evening, do our grocery shopping together, and hang out for hours in the local Starbucks at the weekend and talk about anything and everything. And we send text messages back and forth rather a lot during each day! Over this year these friendships have removed the difference between being in China and being at “home”. It is often said, of course, that home is where the heart is. And part of my heart is forever with my Chinese friends. It has reminded me that while language is important to understand local people and cultures, opening your heart and mind is far more important. Ive concluded that in spite of my lack (缺少) of progress in speaking Chinese, even the best foreign Chinese speaker will never understand anything about China if they cant open their heart to the people they live and work with. I, of course, have been lucky that my Chinese friends speak close to perfect English. What has surprised me is that many foreign teachers dont make the effort to make friends with their Chinese counterparts. What Ive learned is that my Chinese teacher friends share the same thoughts too. I dont speak much Chinese but this hasnt stopped me appreciating (欣赏) the best of China: its people. 67. From Paragraph 2 we can know that the author _.A. works in Hangzhou as a college teacherB. failed to achieve his goal as expectedC. finds it hard to learn ChineseD. enjoys peting with others68. From the third paragraph, we learn that the author _.A. likes learning how to cook Chinese food B. tends to spend hours enjoying coffee aloneC. develops a good relationship with some Chinese D. tries his best to learn about local peoples lives69. The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph refers to people who _.A. like to make friends B. study Chinese in ChinaC. work as teachers in China D. dislike learning foreign languages70. Why doesnt the author think his poor Chinese stop him appreciating the best of China?A. Because the author often has dinner with his Chinese friends.B. Because the way of doing things is different in China.C. Because the authors friends can speak perfect English. D. Because the author makes friends with an open heart.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。Creativity is an inborn quality of all human beings. Creativitycovers more than just art. Yes, it has something to do with art, such as singing, posing, painting, drawing and so on, but it is by no means limited just to these activities.Actually, you are creative each time you find the right words to say to a friend who needs forting. You are creative whenever you uncover new ways of teaching someone something you know. You are creative whenever you pick out a new activity to try with your friends. You are creative whenever you e up with new ways to make your activities more efficient (高效的). Creativity covers all activities we take part in. As long as the following three criteria (标准) are satisfied, any activity can be considered creative. First, it is the right thing at the right time and feels like inspired action. Inspired action is something you do because you feel like doing it, not because you think you should do it. It es from the heart and its simply the best thing for you. Second, it contains novelty (新奇). Perhaps it is something that you have never tried doing before or at least not in the same way. Novelty can be brought about by following a different method or turning old ways into new ones. Last, the end result of a
