Where did that number come from?
Eleven and Twelve
The reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to ―one left‖. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif—―two left‖. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.
911 for US Emergency (急救) Calls
Early phones didn‘t use phone numbers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.
26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)
The story began with an ancient Greek soldier carrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.
28 Days in February
Before using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That‘s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since. 48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from? A. English. B. German. C. French. D. Russian. 49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls? A. In 1896. B. In 1908. C. In 1924. D. In 1967. 50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______. A. the British was a little weak in maths B. the British didn‘t like the Greek story
C. the British loved the royal family very much D. the British wanted to make the race different
51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar? A. 28, 29 or 31. B. 28, 30 or 31. C. 28, 29 or 30. D. 29, 30 or 31.

Comets(彗星) are parts of our solar system（太阳系）. Like the planets, they go around the sun.
But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.
The ―snowball‖ may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the ―snowball,‖ much of it is changed to gases. The gases spread out and form the comet‘s head, which may be thousands of miles across. * * *
A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That‘s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at
it, you can‘t see any motion. That‘s because the moon is far away.
So comets do not rush across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you‘ll see that it also changes position.
Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only
once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun‘s gravity（重力、引力）cannot hold them.
Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley‘s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.
But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That‘s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.
54. What is this passage mostly about?
A. Comets and the sun. B. Why comets are like snowballs. C. Who discovered the first comet. D. Facts about comets.
55. According to the passage, some comets have been ―captured by the sun.‖ What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. The comets are rushing into the sun. B. The comets have been brightened by the sun. C. The comets are stuck in the sun‘s gravity. D. The comets have been burned by the sun‘s heat.
56. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like? A. By telling about a famous one. B. By explaining how far away it is. C. By describing how fast it moves. D. By describing it as a dirty snowball. 57. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?
A. To give information about comets. B. To tell readers about famous comets. C. To explain the importance of comets. D. To encourage readers to look for comets.

It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. ―I‘m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,‖ she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six
tollbooth drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, ―Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.‖
It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend‘s refrigerator: ―Practice random (随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.‖ The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) her so much that she copied it down.
Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. ―I thought it was beautiful,‖ she said, explaining why she‘d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, ―like a message from above.‖ Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn‘t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.
―Here‘s the idea,‖ Anne says. ―Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.‖ Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, ―Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.‖
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!
48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A. She had seven tickets.
B. She hoped to please others. C. She wanted to show kindness. D. She knew the car drivers well.
49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .
A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall
D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom 50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith. C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert. 51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should practice random kindness to those in need. B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet. D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.

Alexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn‘t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average (一般的)people‘s IQ. So, there is no wonder that she has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members must have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of
18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.
The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Alexis scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn‘t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% ofthe world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.
I an Martin, Alexis‘ father, said his daughter showed signs of some special abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was just two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis is reading on a fifth gradelevel.
―From 12 months old, we‘d be driving around in the car and she would repeat her bedtimestories from the night before,‖he said. ―She didn‘t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.‖
Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new
languages. ―Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything. She never ever uses it in the incorrect situation, ever.‖Ian said.
While Alexis‘s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力)
often experience high anxiety(焦虑) unless they‘re around similarly gifted boys and
girls. Her parents decide to follow the advice and try to look for proper ways to help her get involved into society.
48. Mensa only accepts ____________. A. teenagers under 18 in the U.S.

Need to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.
People are surprised to hear this. ―They think, ?I don‘t need to drive, and the business doesn‘t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,‘‖ says Nuria
Prost, an environmental scientist. ―But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.‖
In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997. ―Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,‖ says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.
Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.
Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide (CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.
Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.
―If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop,‖ says Prost. ―People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?‖ Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. ―Online shopping is fast and easy,‖ says Prost, ―but we can‘t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.‖ 48. Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?
A. Because companies charge more for product returns. B. Because people buy too many things they don‘t need.
C. Because paper use has increased by 33 percent from 1986 to 1997. D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material. 49. What do companies do to meet the needs of the next-day delivery?
A. Prepare more products. B. Get more workers to pack. C. Send the products by air. D. Open more stores in cities.
50. Prost probably agrees that ______.
A. people should drive to stores to buy things
B. online shopping adds pollution to the environment C. online shopping saves more than shopping in a store
D. people can buy things online without careful consideration 51. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. A Good Deal to Make? B. A Different Lifestyle to Keep? C. A Cleaner Way to Shop? D. A New Business to Start?

There are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.
Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰伤)or the ones that look nice. Buying dried and canned food online is easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.
Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies.
The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important.
48.When people buy food, they usually __________.
A. choose the colour B. don't touch or smell it
C. go to different shops each time D. want to see with their own eyes 49. It is not so easy to buy________ online.
A. CDs or DVDs B. apples or bananas C. dried or canned foods D. books or magazines
50. If fresh fruit and vegetables _______, customers will buy them online. A. look nice B. have a very good quality C. make people feel comfortable D. have been put into boxes
51. When customers get the food they buy, it's important for them to________. A. pay for it B. use refrigeration C. check it D. cook it

Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten(幼儿园), and certainly I wished her success. I was saying something that is not true. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the importance of failure.
Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or do something correctly the first time, which can often be a problem for the future. First-time success is usually a fluke(侥幸). First-time failure, in fact, is the natural order of things.
Failure means how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase(短语) describing a good cook as ―she who has broken many bowls‖. If you‘ve spent enough time in the kitchen and have broken a lot of bowls, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had a dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much their failures gave them.
My younger daughter is a dancer. She spent three years getting ready for an act. She did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change the act—but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored, she couldn‘t play well. So she changed the act. She risked failure in order to feed her heart.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won‘t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that‘s not a lesson you can learn when you‘re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it‘s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
48. What did the writer really wish for her granddaughter in the kindergarten? A. Success. B. Failure. C. Kindness. D. Care. 49. The third paragraph mainly tells us . A. what ―a good cook‖ means B. a cook should often cook C. a cook must break many bowls D. failure means how we learn 50. Why did the younger daughter change the act? A. Because she didn‘t do well in it. B. Because she was asked to change it. C. Because she wanted to feed her heart. D. Because she wanted to try a failure.
51. What does the writer hope to tell the granddaughter? A. Failure is a good thing. B. She can‘t fail any more. C. Failure is not the end of the world. D. Success is the end of the world.

You probably know you should say \the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high. Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while, it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.
It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
49. We shouldn't turn up the music too high because loud music ______________.
.A．is not enjoyable B．hurts our ears C．is bad for MP3 players D．makes us uncomfortable
50. If we listen to music at a sporting event, ___________.
A. it‘s impolite to others B. we‘ll miss part of the movie C. we won‘t know what‘s going on D. the players will be angry
51 . We should turn our MP3 off and put it away when ___________ according to the passage. A. we read in a library B . someone asks us the way C. we‘re reading books D. a waitor comes
52. The writer wants us to ___________________ by writing the passage. A. be polite at restaurants B. respect our classmates. C. follow the rules of libraries D. have music manners

Soap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK – but there are good reasons to stick with the old traditional way of keeping clean, says Gareth Rubin.
According to market research company Mintel, 87% of
Britons usually buy liquid soap, compared to only 13% who buy bars of it. And solid soap is losing the popularity. But why do some people still prefer
soap in liquid traditional solid soap?
1. It‘s what they‘ve always known.
Some people are just traditionalists. According to Mark Constantine, he thinks it‘s always lovely when we‘re using something that‘s been about for 3,000 years. Solid soap has got a huge
solid soap history and they‘re very beautiful.
2. Solid soap is more pleasant.
Smelling a plastic bottle doesn‘t feel very comfortable, while you can get bars of different textures and smells – some bars have sea salt, nuts, fruits or flowers in them for a bit of a surprise. Others come in beautiful or even funny shapes and sizes. You can tie attractive bars of soap up in silk ribbons (丝带) and present them as a gift to a loved one – the effect isn‘t quite the same when you do this with a liquid soap.
3. Less packaging (包装) is better for the planet.
All those bottles has to come from somewhere and go somewhere. Recycling can only do so much, whereas typically a bar of soap comes in a little paper wrapper and that‘s it. If you care about the environment, you can even buy bars of soap without paper around them. ―And about 60% of the cost of a bottle of soap goes on the packaging and the pump (泵头).‖ says Constantine.
4. The bottles are a little bit difficult.
You can hold a bar of soap in one hand and it works. With the bottles you first have to use both hands to unlock the pump, and shut your eyes to the liquid slowly dropping the sticky thing onto your bathroom floor. When the bar of soap runs down, you can still use it until it is no more, but with the liquid soap it is a difficult task to get the last drop out of the bottom. 【 】48. According to market research company Mintel, ______. A. solid soap is as popular as liquid soap B. more people refuse to buy liquid soap C. solid soap is becoming less popular D. solid soap is better for the planet 【 】49. Compared to solid soap, liquid soap ______. A. has less packaging B. has a much longer history C. is more pleasant in smells D. has less funny shapes and sizes 【 】50. What can you infer from the passage? A. Liquid soap is not worth the price according to Constantine. B. A bottle of liquid soap cannot be a present for a friend. C. More people will buy solid soap without silk ribbons. D. It‘s impossible to use up the liquid soap in a bottle. 【 】51. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. People‘s preference to soap is changing. B. Liquid soap is still liked by many Britons. C. The advantages and disadvantages of solid soap. D. The reasons why some people still prefer solid soap.

Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music.
These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.
48. According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.
A. enough information about people and places B. no information about things
C. some information about things but not enough D. the wrong information about things 49. Newspapers contain __________.
A. more information than television B. less information than television C. more news from other countries
D. less information about important events than TV 50. What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?
A. There are more interesting subjects in novels. B. We do not hear any music in a novel.
C. Novels always explain what is happening. D. Novels make us use our imagination. 51. What does the author think about reading?
A. It is a wonderful invention.
B. It is an important part of our lives. C. It requires no practices.
D. It is not as important as television.

Looking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don‘t give up. There are several ways to support your favorite charity and enjoy yourselves at the same time.
How about holding a bean bath competition? ―How does this help?‖you may ask yourselves. Well, it‘s very simple really- you agree to sit in a bath full of baked beans, then for every minute you stay in it, people pay money! The longer you stay in the bath, the more money you collect for the charity your school has chosen! It‘s extremely messy, but it‘s good fun! Just a piece of advice, though. Let your parents know what you‘re doing. Wear old clothes because they‘re going to need washing after the competition! Here‘s another idea that we used at my school: organize a car wash. Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed. So why don‘t you and your classmates do the job? The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed will go towards your charity. When we did it, we had an amazing time! At first, some of us were worried about getting wet or dirty and it‘s true. But we also had fun, and at the end of the day it was really worth it! On the other hand, if you don‘t feel like getting wet or messy, but have some musical talent, how about organizing a street concert? Street musicians can make a lot of money and so can you if you‘ve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front of an audience. You just need to find a suitable place (make sure you‘re allowed to play music in that public place), practise for a few hours with your friends first, and give it a try! I hope all these ideas have helped you a bit, and if you‘ve got any other great suggestions, we would love to hear them. We can publish them, so other people can use them, too. Good luck! 48. Holding a bean bath competition, you would______. A. ask yourselves many questions B. sit in a bath full of baked beans C. put on old clothes after the bath D. ask your parents to wash the clothes 49. What did the writer think of the car wash? A. He thought they could have fun. B. He was upset about getting wet. C. He thought many students were too worried. D. He thought it was an easy way to collect money. 50. From the passage we can know the writer is a ___________. A. parent B. student C. driver D. singer 51. The writer writes this passage to_____________. A. ask readers to do something funny for charity B. tell readers about charity events they can go to C. suggest fun ideas for people to raise money for charity D. show some ways for people to organize charity events
