   Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it，they wore aquatic (水上的)shoes they designed and created.
   Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175－foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones，who wore oversized boat－like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500.
   Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves'Materials and Methods Construction Class.“It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said.“We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”
   A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9－year－old girl who competed in place of her mother，while the oldest was a 67－year－old female.
   A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words，but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
   “A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.
   “Anything，including walking on water，is possible，if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously.
   24.Which statement about Alex Quinones is true ?
   A. He finished the race in less than a minute.
   B. He won the race with the help of 2 boats.
   C. He failed the race last year.
   D. He set a new record this year.
   25. For what purpose did the students take part in the race?
   A. To go across the lake to school. B. To test their balance on the water.
   C. To pass Professor Canaves' class. D. To win the prize money of $ 500.
   26 .Which of the following is true about the race?
   A. The students who fell into the water had to quit.
   B. More than 20 teams failed to cross the lake.
   C. The students kept silent when the other racers competed.
   D. The youngest competitor competed instead of her mother.

   One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
   Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
   Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
   “If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
   The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.”
   Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.”
   28. What did Tracy do after finding the dog?
   1. She looked for its owner B. She gave it to Ann as a gift.

C. She sold it to the dollar store. D. She bought some food for it.

29. How did the dog help save Jack?

1. By breaking the door for Ann. B. By leading Ann to Jack’s room.
   C. By dragging Jack out of the room. D. By attending Jack when Ann was out.
   30. What was Ann’s attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4?
   A. Sympathetic B. Doubtful C. Tolerant D. Grateful
   31. For what purpose did Peter call Tracy?
   1. To help her friend’s son. B. To interview Tracy

C. To take back his dog. D. To return the flier to her.

D

Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.

Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don’t make nests. Instead, they got into other birds’ nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.

Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.

Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.

As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us humans?

32.The writer uses the three questions at the beginning of the passage to ________________.

1. ask the readers to answer the questions
2. show he is at a loss about the questions
3. seek answers to the questions
4. draw the readers’ attention to the topic

33.Which of the following is not an example of animals’ dishonest behaviors?

A. The adoptive parents feed their baby birds of cuckoos.

B.A plover pretended to have a broken wing to protect its baby birds.

C.Ascrub jay dug out its buried food and reburied it somewhere else.

D. losing chimp starts fighting again after taking the winner’s hand.

34.The underline word “sneaky” in paragraph 5 most probably means _______________.

A. entertaining B. friendly C. dishonest D. selfish

35. What does the author think of the animals’ dishonest behaviors?

A. unforgettable B. acceptable C. negative D. unreasonable

How to Improve Vocabulary Fast

Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.

Read every day.36. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

37. If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.

Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.

Elaborate(详尽阐述)on the meaning of the word. If you have just learned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 38

Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.39 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.

Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.40. The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.

A. Find a new word every day.

B. The vocabulary can be increased.

C. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.

D. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.

E. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.

F. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.

G. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.

Soon his crew broke the chain that held the buoy, let the bell go into the water and then sailed away. In the following weeks, they robbed many other  ships around the sea and filled the ship with a great     66    （vary）of treasures. 67 (fortunate), when returning, they themselves had no idea how to get away from the terrible rock    68    the ring.

Dear David,

I’m writing to you to introduce a website whose service is about used goods exchange.

The website is established by my good friend, who wants to help people make full use of items, unused for a certain length of time. My friend mentioned that what is currently needed most by some people is original English-written magazines or other reading materials. If you have some and no desire to preserve, would you like to exchange for something of a Chinese style. Additionally, it’s a good idea that you call on people around to join us.

I’m looking forward to your reply.
