 How important can a fifteen-year-old boy’s work be? Well, Louis Braille’s work changed the world. Born in a small town near Paris in 1809, shortly after his third birthday Louis blinded himself in one eye while playing with a sharp pointed tool in his father’s workshop. He soon lost the sight in his other eye when the infection(感染) spread.

He wanted to go to school, but in his small town there was no school for him. At that time, blind people did not get any school education. Braille went to Paris to study, but there were few books for the blind.

Louis knew that books were the key to learning. He struggled with ideas for three years. Finally, at fifteen, he invented an alphabet made with raised dots(点). Blind people could “read” by feeling the patterns of the dots.

Being able to read Braille allows blind children to learn together with the sighted at school, and go on to get jobs. It allows people who lose their eyesight to continue to read, learn and get information.

21. Braille got blind as a result of _________.

A. an illness B. an accident C. a party D. a fire

22. From the passage we know in Braille’s day, _________

A. there were no schools in the town B. none of blind could go to school

C. there were few books for the blind D. blind children could read by talking

23. It took Braille _______ to invent the alphabet.

A. three years B. six years C. fifteen D. many years.

24. The Braille alphabet _________.

A. was of no use for the blind people.

B. helped Louis make much money.

C. allowed people to get information directly.

D. made the blind read and learn more easily.

25. Which could be the best title for the passage?

A. Louis Braille changed the world B. Louis Braille struggled in his life

C. Louis Braille saved sighted children D. Louis Braille set up a blind school

B

Larry was on another of his underwater adventures but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his adventures. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first adventure, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

Larry’s first adventure without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than he had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater adventure.

26. What can be inferred from Paragraph2?

A. Larry had some privileges. B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.

C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.

D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.

27. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?

A. To dive into the deep water.B. To protect himself from danger.

C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photo more conveniently.

28. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.B. Larry had a poor memory.

C. Larry was not good at math.D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.

29. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?

A. Become a successful diver.B. Make a good diving guide.

C. Take a lot of photos underwater.D. Have longer hours of training.

C

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma (文凭) or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma. Continuing education gives these adults the chance to increase their knowledge. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job or earn more money.
There are usually a large number of classes to choose from. Some adults learn new skills. Some take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Others take classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. And still others learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.

There are many chances for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive. Thousands of people take continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.

30. Nowadays, some adults go to continuing education classes to ________.

A. just get a college education B. learn new skills

C. just get a certificate (证书) D. earn grades

31. What is the main idea of the last Paragraph?

A. Adults can continue their learning.

B. Most continuing education classes are in the evening.

C. Adults have many chances to continue their learning.

D. Classes are held for working people.

32. Lots of people attend continuing education classes because ________.

A. the classes will help them feel better about themselves

B. there are many courses they can choose from

C. they can also go to church at the same time

D. learning is something they are interested in doing

D

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops. People had it sent from Holland. And even those people who could afford it did so only because of curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
　At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was so famous a lady that people liked to copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
　At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess （公爵夫人） found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.

33. The word “curiosity” in the first paragraph probably means ________.

A. 好奇 B. 臆测 C. 迷恋 D. 决心

34. People in Britain like to drink tea with milk because of the influence of _______.

A. a famous French lady B. people in Holland

C. the upper social class D. the ancient Chinese

35. This passage mainly discusses _______.

A. how tea-time was born in history

B. the history of tea-drinking in Britain

C. the habit of drinking tea with milk in it

D. differences about tea-drinking Europe

Pool Safety Tips for Kids

On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more appealing than a nice cool pool. __36__ And it is completely relaxing. Of course, if you have children, there are certain safety measures you should take, whether you have a pool in your backyard or are going to a public pool.

Go swimming together. No person should ever swim alone. Though many people do, the simple truth is that it only takes a second to become injured or drown. _37__ Having someone there with you can make the difference between life and death. This is especially true for young children. If your child is under the age of 5, you should never allow them to swim out of arm's length.

__38__ Kids love to chase one another through the water. But it is important that you emphasize to your children that at no time should they be running around the pool or pushing anyone. In the water, teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings, so that they do not accidentally knock into others, injuring them. Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous.

Keep it locked. If you own a pool, you must have a locking gate around your pool. _39__ Keep the gate locked at all times, even when you are physically in the pool. It is terrible for children to steal into the pool.

Know the way out. _40__ Make sure that they know where all ladders are, and that you teach them to use them for entering and exiting the pool safely. Although your child may be able to lift herself or himself out of the pool using the side, that is not the safest way to go.

A．Don't play around in the pool.

B．Be sure to show all children the proper way to exit the pool.

C．Swimming under water is forbidden in the pool.

D．This is to prevent children from entering the pool without your permission.

E．Slipping into the water seems like the perfect way to deal with the heat.

F．Something sad happens every year.

G．Make sure kids know food should be eaten either before or after swimming.

Should Our Parents Accompany Us in Studying at School?

In recent years, many parents choose to accompany their children in studying, which has aroused a wide concern.

These parents are willing to leave their hometown, even quit their jobs to follow their children into the campus. Most of them rent an apartment nearby so as to take good care of their children. Parents consider it necessary to offer a better living condition to the kids. Meanwhile, it can allow them to keep track of the kids’ academic performance.

Nevertheless, what they’ve ignored is that it will get their kids into the habit of being dependent. Thus, they will never develop the ability of self-control in the future.

Trust leads to independence. So it seems to me that parents should create room for children’s growth and study in order to ensure their overall development.
