Donald Watson was a man who thought very much about the food he ate. He was born in Yorkshire, England, in September 1910. And he died in November 2005, at the age of 95. That is a very great age. Watson explained that it was because he never ate any food from animals.
When he was a boy, Watson stayed on a farm. He loved to see the animals. He said that they gave so much to people. And all the animals were so friendly. Then, one day, he saw a man killing a pig. He was very sad. From then on, Watson decided that he would never again eat meat. Twenty years later he decided that he wouldn’t eat anything from animals, such as milk, cheese or eggs. He became a vegan (素食主义者).
Watson formed a group called “The Vegan Society”. The Vegan Society thought it was terrible and wrong to eat food from animals. At first, there were not many people who agreed with him. They thought it was crazy to do it. Most people thought it was too difficult and unhealthy. However, over time, more and more people began to agree with Watson and The Vegan Society.
People become vegans for many reasons. Watson and his friends stopped eating because they loved animals. They believed that it was wrong to hurt another living thing.
Now, people also become vegans for environmental reasons. Keeping animals takes a lot of resources (资源), including water and food. Also, in some places, people are cutting down trees to create more land for cows. By avoiding food from animals, vegans hope to protect these forest areas.
Finally, just like Watson, some people believe that being a vegan is healthier. They believe that food from animals causes heart problems, a high body weight and many other health problems.
1.What do we know about Watson from the first two paragraphs?
A.He enjoyed a very long life for being a vegan.
B.He owned a farm with a lot of animals.

2.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to “________”.

D.forming “The Vegan Society”
3.Now people become vegans because ________.
A.they have many health problems
B.they think keeping animals costs too much
C.they love animals and want to keep them
D.they want to save resources and protect the environment
4.What’s the best title for the text?

John Farish, an engineer who was staying at the St. Francis, one of the city’s finest hotels, remembered the very early morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1906: I was awakened by a loud noise, which might be compared to the mixed sounds of a strong wind flowing through a forest and the breaking of waves against a rock. In less time than it takes to tell, a shake, similar to that caused by a nearby explosion (爆炸), shook the building to its bases and it began a series of the most lively movements. Together with a frightening sound, it was followed by big crashes (碰撞) as the neighboring buildings and chimneys fell to the ground.
A few blocks away, in a comfortable room in the Palace Hotel, the world’s greatest singer, Enrico Caruso, was asleep after a good performance at the Opera House the night before. He awoke to find: Everything in the room was going round and round. The light was trying to touch the ceiling and the chairs were all chasing each other. Crash — crash — crash! It was a terrible scene. Everywhere the walls were falling and clouds of yellow dust were rising. My God, I thought it would never stop!
And at the same moment, in another part of the city, Jesse Cook, a policeman, reported: The whole street was undulating (起伏波动). It was as if the waves of the ocean were coming toward me, and waving as they came.
It was, of course, an earthquake, one of the largest ever to hit North America, and the first of 27 separate quakes that day. The first shock — at 5:12:05 a.m. — lasted more than 40 seconds. It was by far the largest, about 8.3 on the Richter scale; its epicenter (震源) was just off the coast, around the Pacific.
1.When the earthquake happened, Caruso was _____.
A.looking at the waves rushing against the rock
B.giving a performance at the Opera House
C.listening to the sounds of wind flowing
D.sleeping in the comfortable Palace Hotel
2.How did Jesse Cook describe the earthquake?
A.The street was flooded with ocean water.
B.The street was dancing like ocean waves.
C.The chairs in the room were chasing each other.
D.The light was falling to the ground heavily.
3.What can we know about the earthquake according to the passage?
A.It was followed by 26 quakes that day.
B.It caused the most deaths in history.
C.It came from the center of the Pacific.
D.It struck the place at midnight.
4.The purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
A.teach us how to protect ourselves in an earth-quake
B.find out why the earthquake happened
C.describe the happenings of a strong earthquake
D.introduce what harm the earthquake did to people

Last Friday, Mike Babbitt was about to leave the Bremerton Yacht Club to go gas up when the engine of the boat caught fire.
“The wind was blowing from the North. It would have blown the boat into the yacht (快艇) club so I just gave it all the power I could to get it away from the yacht club,” he told Komo News. However, that wasn’t the end of Mike’s mission (使命). Still on the boat were his two bulldogs Pearl and Hootie. He placed the dogs on a paddleboard before jumping into the water himself.
He explained to Komo News that he didn’t even have time to grasp a life coat or his oxygen. Mike served in the army for five years in a special police unit in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his time in the army, he suffered a pancreatic (胰腺的) attack that forced him to rely on oxygen treatment for the rest of his life.
Still, he succeeded in doing the unthinkable. “I just slid into the water and started paddling away from the fire and I could still feel the heat from the fire,” Mike told the news reporters. Mike was then rescued by some friends and later transported to a nearby hospital, where his wife Jamie met him. The fire is especially heartbreaking for Mike and his wife as the yacht was their only house. They had early sold their home and saved up in order to live a life on the water.
However, Mike is just happy to have survived. “I think it is the gift of God watching over us,” Mike told Komo News. “You have to put it exactly that were still alive and we’re still together.” A GoFundMe has since been created to help the Babbitts following the fire.
1.Where was Mike going when the yacht caught fire?
A.The club. B.The boat.
C.A police unit. D.A filling station.
2.What did Mike do in the end?
A.Got a life coat. B.Pushed the boat away.
C.Put out the fire. D.Saved Pearl and Hootie.
3.By writing Paragraph 3, the author intends to ________.
A.sum up the paragraphs before it B.continue talking about the incident
C.add some background information D.introduce a new subject for discussion
4.What probably is continued with the passage?
A.Opening up about the terrible fire. B.Raising money to help the Babbitts.
C.Being thankful for what God gives. D.Realizing a dream of living on the water.
5.Which of the following best describes Mike?
A.Brave and kind. B.Confident and calm.
C.Positive and devoted. D.Generous and grateful.
