A
The other day I was shopping for Grandma when I realized I had no gift ideas at all.
It was not a birthday gift or anything like that. It was simply sort of a hello gift. That is how we do things in my family. We don’t really give gifts for special oasions. Instead, we oasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them.
That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma. But it was like my imagination had dried up. I have gone through all of the gift ideas in last years, fruits, wines, cheeses, little handmade crafts, and anything else that you can give to a grandmother. I had even given her gift watches, and CDs. What else was there?
I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women, because for men, you can always get the usual things, such as video games, power tools and things like that. With a woman’s gift idea, however, you have to know more about her. You cannot just get someone a book or a CD. You have to know all about her taste in movies, music, and literature.
My grandmother likes to read a lot, but what she likes is always pretty popular. I didn’t want to get her a book that she might not like, but I was running out of time. I needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her. After all, I hadn’t seen her for a long time. I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored.
Finally, I came up with the perfect gift idea. I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year. It wasn’t a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers, but it really worked in the situation. You see, I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan.
Anyway, I had been learning about bookbinding recently, and had pretty much mastered the art. I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories, bind it altogether, and give it to her. It took hours to plete, but it was well worth the effort. She absolutely loved it.
31. The writer chose a gift for Grandma to _____.
A. celebrate a special family oasion
B. please her during a weekend visit
C. congratulate her on her birthday
D. beg her pardon for ignoring her
32. What gift did the writer finally decide to give his grandma?
A. Gift watches. B. A bunch of flowers.
C. Artwork made by hand.D. Stories written by himself.
33. How does the writer feel about giving gifts to women?
A. Interesting.B. Challenging.C. Time-wasting.D. Popular.
34. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. the writer is a suessful novelist
B. most people are particular about gifts
C. the writer’s grandma has a good taste in art
D. the writer’s family will give gifts on ordinary days
B
Since the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.
Aording to US government reports, emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has bee part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty?five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program.” Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.
35. Aording to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ______.
A. the social movementB. recycling techniques
C. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day
36. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly e from?
A. The grass?roots level.B. The business circle.
C. Government officials.D. University professors.
37. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B. They have settled their environmental problems.
C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
38. What is especially important for environmental protection aording to the last paragraph?
A. Education.B. Planning.C. Green living.D. CO reduction.

There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.
Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12
Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.
Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13
This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration ― thousands of years ago, when people began star observation ― and forward to today’s search for plas in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.
Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older
If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of mon and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.
Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12
If you use a magnifying (放大的) glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.

D
Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds? If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way? Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds.
One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow, the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less energy during their flight. When the lead bird bees tired, a more rested bird takes over that position.
But saving energy is important for more than one reason. Sometimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals.
When food is sighted, the birds guide one another in a different way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction. Then, this bird bees the new leader. It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the whole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food.
Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds e together if a predator (天敌) is spotted. The predator may then bee impatient waiting for a single bird to fly away from the group. The birds will often dip and dive as a group, frustrating even the most persistent enemy. Scientists report that this is a very effective method of defense against an attack.
The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork. As transportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then suess takes care of itself.” When it es to teamwork, these feathered fliers are a soaring suess!
43. Aording to the passage, we can learn that birds ______.
A. move faster than cyclists
B. are smarter than other animals
C. play different roles in a formation
D. prefer to fly in a V-shaped formation
44. When food is sighted, ______.
A. the group follows the discoverer
B. the lead bird decides what to do
C. the discoverer leaves the group
D. the whole group forms a stream
45. To protect themselves from attack, birds will ______.
A. break into groupsB. e close together
C. change directionsD. fly up and down
46. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A Bird’s-Eye View Of Teamwork
B. Suess Takes Care Of Itself
C. The Strongest Will Survive
D. A Science Behind Flying
E
Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from aidents, aording to Australian psychologists. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an aident. The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are in loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.
The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels (分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.
For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track a moving disk on screen, react to traffic signals changing color, and brake (刹车) in response to arrows that appeared without warning.
On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked” at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian.
When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further 50 milliseconds ― a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving” with no music.
“But there’s a trade-off,” the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.” In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people in 85 decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some aidents ― such as children running into the road ― take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.
47. What does the phrase “pulling up” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Stopping..B. Driving.
C. Putting up with.D. Giving somebody a lift.
48. Where did the researchers do the experiment?
A. At crossroads.
B. In a crowded street.
C. At a police traffic station.
D. Under the same conditions as those of the streets.
49. Which of the following didn’t help the performers to “brake” sooner at red lights?
A. Quiet music.B. Loud music.
C. Silence.D. Rock music.
50. Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer?
A. Loud music.B. Quiet music.
C. Silence.D. Heavy metal music.

Sunday night, March 2, 2014, Ellen DeGeneres hosted the Academy Awards in Los Angeles, California. It is Hollywood’s top awards event and many entertainers hope to be asked to host.
Ellen DeGeneres has to be pleased with her Oscar performance last week. She did exactly what producers ask for ― bring in a big television audience without creating any social debates.
DeGeneres as host won a larger television crowd. A reported 43 million people watched the broadcast. That is two-and-a-half million more people than 2013. DeGeneres also stuck mainly to her style of warm and friendly humor instead of insulting jokes.
The most talked about moment that night in Los Angeles had to be Ellen DeGeneres’ “selfie.” A selfie is a picture one takes of oneself for placement on the inter. Ellen DeGeneres took her smart phone out into the audience. She got close to actor Bradley Cooper and asked others to join in for the selfie. Lots of stars jumped into the picture including some 2014 Oscar winners, like Jared Leto and Lupita N’yongo.
Ellen DeGeneres then posted the photo to Twitter. The post was retweeted (转发) more than two million times within hours. Later, in the show, DeGeneres excitedly told the crowd: “We got an email from Twitter and we crashed and broke Twitter. We have made history.”
Ellen DeGeneres made Twitter history last Sunday. She is also making broadcast history in China. People can watch “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on the Chinese online video service Sohu Video 48 hours after it is shown in the United States. The service shows it with Chinese subtitles（字幕）.
