Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题):Alice's moth...

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题):

Alice's mother died when she was five. The year was 1925, and life was hard. Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that her family couldn't afford to buy her even a doll as a Christmas gift.

In December 1982, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were getting ready for the Christmas season. One of my customers came to me with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Kate, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea, I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother--one with gray hair and glasses: a grandmother doll. And she said yes.

Things really started to fall into place when a friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus in my area would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home to deliver my Katie her present.

Christmas Day arrived at the planned time, so did Santa Claus. I had prepared the presents for Santa to deliver, along with the one for my mother.

My daughter was surprised and happy to get the gift from Santa. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and brought out one more gift. Then he asked who Alice was. My mother was surprised to hear her name. Then Santa handed her the gift, and also a message card that read:

_________________________________________. She held tightly in her arms the doll she had waited fifty-seven years to receive. That doll made my mother the happiest "child".

______________________________________________________.

3.When did the writer's mother receive the Christmas gift?

More than one million international students are studying in the United States． Many of them find it helpful to have a smartphone and an American credit （信用卡），

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题):

Reading newspapers is a convenient way to get the daily news. They are not expensive, and we can buy them at gas stations, supermarkets and newsstands. However, newspapers were not always so easy to get until Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press (印刷机) in the fifteenth century. It made copies by making a piece of paper across metal type (金属活字印刷). There is black ink on it. That’s why “the press” not only means the machine that prints the newspaper, but also newspapers themselves.

The term “newspaper” was first introduced during the 17th century, and the first newspaper was printed in Germany. Before people got into the habit of buying their own copies, a single copy was posted in a public place on a wall or notice board.

Newspapers were not designed very beautifully at first. Today, newspapers contain much more than a record of the day’s events. There are sections for fashion, food, sports, cartoons and games. Newspapers are a source of information and entertainment. For hundreds of years, printed newspapers were very popular.

However, in the 21st century, printed newspapers are starting to disappear. Four hundred years ago, there were not many newspapers because they could not be printed quickly, and many adults didn’t even know how to read. Today tablets, phones, and the Internet are replacing (代替) newspapers because it is easier and cheaper to read the news online.

1.Newspapers were easy to get in the fifteenth century, weren’t they?

_______________________________________________________________________.

2.Where was the first newspaper printed?

_______________________________________________________________________.

3.How was a newspaper made after Gutenberg invented the printing press?

_______________________________________________________________________.

4.How many newspaper sections are mentioned in the passage?

_______________________________________________________________________.

5.What happened to printed newspapers in the 21st century?

_______________________________________________________________________.

6.What do you think of newspapers? Why?

I think newspapers are __________ because ___________________________________.

Answer the questions. (根据短文内容，回答下列问题)：

Hey! The people of the earth. Can you hear this radio message? Do not be afraid! We come in peace from another planet— and why not? We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. We have been here before.

You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Your sun is already in sight. Our ancestors (祖先) and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.

Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save the beasts. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.

They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.

For millions of summers — there were no winters in those ancient days — the Earth had rapid (飞速的) development. It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space. But they never felt lonely. They kept in touch with their relatives and friends on other planets. Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.

But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. Those who had called the Earth their home believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.

1.The message was from the people of the earth, wasn’t it?

2.How soon will the people on the earth see a huge spaceship?

3.Why did the speaker’s ancestors seldom travel in space?

4.How did the speaker’s ancestors keep in touch with their relatives and friends?

5.What happened to the earth two million years ago?

6.How will you feel after you hear the radio message? Why?

Vanessa Tahay is different from the other teenagers (青少年) in her school. Her skin is dark and her voice is thick. But these are the things she is proudest of.

Tahay is one of the best poets (诗人) in Los Angeles. But that doesn’t come easily to someone who comes from a small village in Central America.

When she first came to school, she was shy and laughed at by others for being short and different.

She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English Without Barriers (障碍). Tahay’s elder brother, Elmer, advised her to join the after-school poetry club.

The first time Tahay read the poems in the club, she was shocked. “I wish I could write like that,” she thought to herself.

She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it “Invisible (无形的)”. The day she read it in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried a lot. “I had too much to express (表达) myself,” Tahay said.　

Though her English was not good at that time, she kept at it. At first, she wouldn’t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they’d make fun of her.

But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me I’m worth (值得的) something.”

_______________________________________

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题）：

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the population of the Earth will have grown by 10 people. That may not sound much, but it is about 14,000 people an hour. That is the same as adding most of the population of Germany to the world every year!

Most of these new people are born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa, South America, and parts of Asia. In the developed coun¬tries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average, only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, around one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be the home to only around one tenth of the world’s people.

In the developing countries，more than one billion people already live below the poverty line(贫困线）.These people don’t have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing； children get little or no time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases.

The United Nations(UN) tries to guess population growth. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world's population was around six billion people. The UN has said that the world's population will level off at 12. 5 billion people by the year 2100. Other people think the world's population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion people before it becomes stable or even falls.

1.How many people are added to the world’s population an hour?

2.In what areas of the world can developing countries be found?

3.In 1950，what percentage of the worlds population lived in developing coun¬tries?

4.By 2050，there will be many more people living in the developed countries, won’t there?

5.How many people will there be in 2100 according to the UN?

6.What may happen if the population keeps growing?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Rob Frenette had problems with bullies (欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.

After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called “www.Bullyingcanada.c”. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.

Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that there are people caring about your problems. You just have to find those people.”

One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

1.How old was Rod when he faced problems with bullies at school for the first time?

2.Rod stopped his studies at school after he told it to the newspaper, didn’t he?

3.How often does Rob answer e-mails to the website?
