What is your most memorable(难忘的) Thanksgiving...

What is your most memorable(难忘的) Thanksgiving? For me, it was on the eve of the day.

The church had the names of ten families with more children and less pay planned to receive food baskets. As we packed the boxes in the fellowship hall, these families were excited over the food they were taking home. It would be the best meal many hadn’t enjoyed for months. As they were picking up their boxes happily, another family arrived. Father, mother and three children got off an old pickup truck and came inside the hall. This was a new family, not on our list. They had just heard there was food being given by a church.

I explained that we did not have enough for an extra family. And as I tried to make them sure that I would do what I could, an amazing thing happened. Without a word, a woman put down the box she was carrying and quickly found an empty box to place beside it. She began moving items from her box to share. Soon others followed her lead, and these poor people made an eleventh box for the new family.

1.The story happened on ____.

A.Thanksgiving Day Eve B.Christmas Eve

C.New Year’ Eve D.a church party

2.“ a new family ” here means____.

A.they were new here

B.they came the church for the first time

What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).

Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.

Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.

By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.

The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.

1.The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 probably means somebody or something that is _____.

A．your slave and serves you

B．your supporter and helps you

C．under your control and obeys you

D．under your influence and follows you

2.The author intends to tell us that time _____.

A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch

B．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies

C．should be well managed for our own good

D．should be saved for outside interests

3.In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _____.

A．how to keep up with the time              B．how to make up for lost time

C．how to have a good time                  D．how to make good use of time

“Your honor(法官大人)！Let me say a few words for myself. What they have told you is just not true. I was not trying to kill anyone, and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time. I didn't have anything to tell people that night and was quite alone. I didn't know them and needn't hate them. I was attacked by them, and I knocked one of them down. It's true, but I was made to do it, or I might be killed by them. I did this not because I hated the white men as they said. I just had to do so. While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men, a policeman came, caught me and took me here. I know why I was beaten. I have just moved into a house next to these three white men. I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet. I think, as an American, I have the right to choose where to live. I am guilty. What makes me guilty is my color opposite to theirs and I can't enjoy justice(公正). Yes, I'm not guilty. This is all I want to say. Thank you, your honor.”

1.Why did he speak for himself?

A．He wanted to live in the house next to the whites.

B．He wanted to have the right to choose where to live.

C．He wanted to show he was not guilty.

D．He wanted to show he didn't hate the whites.

2.The speaker was caught because________.

A．the policeman wanted to save him

B．he was black and was fighting with the whites

C．he killed the three men in a dark street

D．he lived in a house next to the whites

3.What's the right order of the story?

a. The speaker said something for himself.

b. The three men said something.

c. The speaker knocked down one of the three men.

d. The speaker was beaten by the three men.

e. He was caught by the policeman.

f. The speaker moved into a house near the whites.

A．a­b­f­d­c­e           B．b­a­f­c­d­e            C．f­d­c­e­b­a            D．f­c­d­e­a­b

The Harp Seal is one of nature’s most beautiful and appealing (吸引人的) creatures. Many years ago it was hunted for its fur. Hunting Harp Seals is now illegal.

The seals spend the summer months migrating (迁徙) in large groups. Harp Seals close their nostrils (鼻孔) and earholes when diving in water, but have to surface frequently to breathe. Their favourite place to rest is on the top of icebergs.

The female Harp Seal gives birth in February or March and feeds her pups for 14-18 days. Baby Harp Seals begin to lose their white fur at around six to eight weeks of age. As an adult, the Harp Seal has brown skin. At birth, Harp Seals weigh 12kg but can weigh up to 130kg as adults. Harp Seals eat small fish, shrimps and krill. However, they are able to switch from one food to another depending on what they can get as food. Males have a lifespan of 29 years while females usually live for longer than 30 years.

Since the Canadian Government introduced laws to protect the seal pups from hunters, their numbers have increased to more than one million. Now every year, thousands of tourists flock to the pack ice to witness the wonderful sight of new pups born in spring.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Hunting Harp Seals is illegal.

B. Protecting Harp Seals.

C. Harp Seals.

D. Lifespan of Harp Seals.

A. brown in colour and weighing 12kg

B. brown in colour and weighing 130kg
