To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a men cast away on an island of solid rock，totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. So important is the web to an orb-web spider's survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier, it constructs a wider-meshed （网孔、网眼）web using fewer strands（线）. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider. The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactivity, labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider's highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate（无脊推动物）. If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web. One spider will finish building the incomplete web of another.
1.Which of the following best expresses the main ideas of the passage?
A. Secrets of Spiders' Adaptability
B. Importance of Webs to Spiders
C. Secrets of the Spiders' Life
D. Spiders' Highly Preprogrammed Brain
2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.
B. One Web-building spider usually conducts one web.
C. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.
D. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.
3.The underlined word “scrawnier” in the second paragraph probably means ______.
A. weaker but good-looking
B. fatter and stronger
C. nice and healthier
D. thinner and bony
4.A spider's ability to finish an incomplete web proves that ______.
A. it has a highly preprogrammed brain
B. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silk
C. the web is everything for a spider
D. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web

Imagine you are standing on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building, staring at the cityscape. Suddenly a man pushes past you, opens the window and announces his intention to jump. You yell out, “Stop! Don’t do it!” the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly (恐吓地) says, “Try to stop me and I’ll take you with me!”
“Umm… No problem, sir. have a good trip. any last words?”
“Let me tell you my troubles,” he says, “my wife left me, my kids won’t talk to me, I lost my job and my pet turtle died, so why should I go on living?”
Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration. “Sir, close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind. No colors, no sights of children playing, no fields of flowers, no sunset. Now imagine that suddenly there’s a miracle. You open your eyes and your vision is restored! Are you going to jump? Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?”
“I’ll stay for a week.”
“But what happened to all the troubles?”
“I guess they’re not so bad. I can see!”
“Well, your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars. You’re a rich man!”
If you really appreciate your eyesight, the other pains are insignificant. But if you take it all for granted, then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy. Actually, there are misconceptions on the road to happiness.
misconception1: “Once I know the tools for being happy, then it will work like magic.”
Don’t expect the results to come automatically. It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness, yet not put it into practice. In fact, many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy, rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits. Just as learning any new skill requires effort, you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness.
Misconception 2: “if I become content and satisfied with what I have, I’ll lose my motivation to achieve more.”
Now ask someone who is depressed, “Let’s go fishing!” “I’m tired. Maybe tomorrow. And anyway, I might rain…” in reality, happy people are energetic and ambitious. There’s never enough time to do everything they want to do.
Misconception 3:
A beautiful Sunday afternoon, you’re in the park having a picnic with friends. Suddenly one person complains: “who forgot the forks? It’s too hot for volleyball. I want to go home already.”
When our mood negatively affects others, we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun. But what about when we’re at home with our family? Or when we go into the office on Monday morning? like an open pit in the middle of the road, a sourpuss(牢骚满腹的人) is a public danger. Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.
1.The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in order to .
A. tell a skill of persuasion
B. warn the danger of standing on a tall building
C. emphasize the importance of eyesight
D. introduce the theme of the passage
2.What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?
A. Everything has a price.
B. We should value what we have.
C. Every dog has its day.
D. Eyesight is more important.
3.What is right about happy？
A. Happy is a gift.
B. Happy is limited.
C. Happy is contagious (会传染的).
D. Happy is no more than a skill.
4.The best subtitle of Misconception 3 is .
A. If unhappy occurs at home, I needn’t pretend to be happy
B. If I can’t make others unhappy, I won’t be happy.
C. If someone is happy, then others around them are happy.
D. If I want to be depressed, that’s my own prerogative.

Five boys are suspected of starting a fire that destroyed their school on the eve of the new term. Police said yesterday that five boys — one aged 11, two 12-year-olds, one aged 13 and one 15 — arrested on suspicion of starting the fire had been released until later this month. Parents said the five pupils all attended St Mary’s.
Pupils witnessed their schoolwork being destroyed in the fire at Leyland St Mary’s Catholic Technology College in Lancashire. The 1950s science block was reduced to the ground in Sunday’s fire, which created clouds of smoke visible for miles. It is reported that the library and sports hall were also destroyed beyond repair. Strong winds and a shortage of water prevented 125 firemen trying to bring it under control. Firefighters were expected to remain at the scene until late this afternoon. Staffs were due to attend the school yesterday for an inset(培训)day, and pupils pupils were to return for lessons after the holidays today.
St Mary’s head teacher Kathy McNicholas fought back the tears as she watched her school go up in flames last night. She said, “This is so upsetting to watch. It’s heartbreaking. It’s very distressing for the staff and the children. Everyone had been looking forward to coming back for the new school year.” Finding somewhere around 730 children won’t be easy. A few of the staff have turned up to see if there is anything they can do and they have all been shocked and saddened by what has happened. “It’s tragic because we have only just had a lot of refreshment work done to the school during the summer break. It was a big investment. The community around here very much looks after its school.”
Plans were being drawn up to provide alternative classrooms for 730 children, with parents warned to keep them at home for at least the rest of the week.
1. Which part of St Mary’s Catholic Technology College was burned to the ground in the fire?
A. The library. B. Sports hall.
C. The science block. D. The passage doesn’t tell us.
2.The underlined word “distressing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “ ”.
A. excited B. surprised
C. annoyed D. embarrassed
3.From the whole passage, we can know that .
A. the education of England is worse
B. St Mary’s Catholic Technology College had no trouble finding enough classrooms
C. a shortage of money prevented more than 100 firemen controlling the big fire
D. the pupils had to stay at home before the alternative classrooms were found
4.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Five boys started a fire that destroyed their school.
B. The firemen failed in controlling the fire.
C. The staff and the children were upset.
D. The school planned to take measures to solve the problem.
