(A)
Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle’s nest (鹰巢) rested. There were four large eagle eggs in the eagle’s nest. One day an earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The hens began to protect and care for the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched (孵出，破壳而出) and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however, the eagle was raised as a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, but his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of strong eagles flying in the skies. “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could fly like those birds.” The chickens laughed at him, “You cannot fly with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens can not fly.”
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, dreaming that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams be known, he was told it couldn’t be done. That was what the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, at last, stopped dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
The moral of the story: You become what you believe you are; so if you ever dream to become an eagle, follow your dreams, not the words of a chicken.

B. He tried several times but he failed.
C. He would be beaten by hens when he tried.
D. He thought eagles could not fly high.
3. What does this passage mainly tell us
A. Eagles can fly higher than less. B. Try hard to become what you want to be.
C. Hens cannot fly. D. You should be the same as others.
(B)
Numbers are important in our daily life. We not only use numbers to count things, but also use them to express different meanings in our language. Here are some examples of them.
Some problems are difficult to solve, but there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals (目标) with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
If you are going out with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go with you. You can just say to your friend: Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic (算术). These three words do not all start with the letter “R”, but they have the sound of “R”.
These are some expressions about numbers. Hope they can be useful to you.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. Numbers are easy to use. B. Numbers are useful in Maths.
C. The importance of numbers in our life. D. Different languages have different numbers.
5. If your friend won a football match and made two friends in the match, what would you say to him
A. You killed two birds with one stone. B. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
C. You need to finish three Rs. D. Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
6. Which is NOT one of the three Rs according to the passage
A. Reading. B. Writing. C. Reporting. D. Arithmetic.
7. What can we know from the article
A. All the number expressions can help you solve problems.
B. Putting two and two together means adding two men’s wisdom together.
C. If someone does something bad to you, you should do the same to him.
D. The writer didn’t need to learn arithmetic when he was at school.

What topic do more than 13 million American kids like Soccer! The Soccer Industry Council of America reported in 1999 that all those kids were playing organized soccer. Add adults into the number, and you come up with more than 18 million Americans playing soccer. 1
First, I think there’s the international interest. 2 The excitement must be catching.
Another reason is that soccer takes less equipment (设备) than some other sports. So it’s not very costly for a kid to join a soccer team.
3 Though accidents may happen, body touching usually isn’t part of the game. Therefore, fewer injuries are caused.
Soccer attracts both boys and girls. Though soccer was at first only a male sport (just like all other sports), soccer has caught on with girls. 4 Interest in the sport extends to whole families, so there are more players, more fans, more coaches, and so on.
Finally, I think there is the running factor. 5 Kids love it, and few parents can say no to it.
A. This is good for the sport.
B. What makes soccer so popular
C. Moreover, parents consider soccer as a safer sport than some other sports.
D. Running up and down a field chasing a ball is such a healthy thing to do.
E. Americans see that people in many other countries are so excited about soccer.

Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle’s nest (鹰巢) rested. There were four large eagle eggs in the eagle’s nest. One day an earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The hens began to protect and care for the large egg.

Numbers are important in our daily life. We not only use numbers to count things, but also use them to express different meanings in our language. Here are some examples of them.
Some problems are difficult to solve, but there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals (目标) with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
If you are going out with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go with you. You can just say to your friend: Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic (算术). These three words do not all start with the letter “R”, but they have the sound of “R”.
These are some expressions about numbers. Hope they can be useful to you.
