1．Kiwis are unique in a lot of interesting ways.They have many characteristics that are not found in any other bird.
It is assumed that the kiwi's ancestor was able to fly and reached New Zealand.Once on the island，it lost its ability to fly and eventually became the kiwi known today.Kiwis have feathers that look like hair and very strong and muscular legs.They rule the ground instead of the air.They can smell very well.Kiwis are quite shy and usually only come out at night.Kiwis can live a long time，between 25 and 50 years.
A female kiwi carries a huge egg about its body size.The kiwi is about the same sizse as a chicken but its egg is actually six times as large as a chicken's egg.The reason for this is that the kiwi doesn't have to fly，so there aren't any limits on its weight.The female has to eat three times as much as usual to help the egg develop.Right before the egg is laid she can't eat anything because the egg presses against her stomach，leaving no room for food.
All kiwi species are endangered.On average，twenty-seven die each week.They have been affected most by deforestation and invasive mammals.Before humans came to New Zealand，the only mammals on the island were bats and seals.The kiwi never had to worry about predators before，but now since it cannot fly，and lays its eggs on the ground，it is pretty defenceless against invasive mammals such as rats and jye.ai.Stoats kill a lot of the chicks，while dogs kill a lot of adult birds，usually by accident，because they are quite delicate（脆弱的）.
（1）Which is kiwis' unique characteristics？
A．They can't fly with no wings.
B．They can live more than 50 years.
C．They rule the air instead of the ground.
D．They seldom or never come out in the daytime.
（2）Why does a female kiwi carry a huge egg？
A．It eats three times as much as usual.
B．It focuses too much on developing its egg.
C．Its body weight will increase without limit.
D．The egg presses against her stomach.
（3）Which kind of mammal does no harm to kiwis？
A．The bat.
B．The rat.
C．The stoat.
D．The dog.
（4）Which is a suitable title for the passage？
A．Endangered Kiwi Species.
B．Kiwis—Unique Birds.
C．Get Close to the Bird World.
D．Why Can't Kiwis Fly？組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5 -
2．Much meaning can be conveyed，clearly，with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience？In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long.And if he senses that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in daily ljye.aie.If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down，to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry towards others' staring at you that way.Eye do speak，right？
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze，his intentions are obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he admires her.
However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he is speaking，and to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to dominate you，you will feel uncomfortable.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking to long at the victim，since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.Quite the contrary.
In fact，continuous eye contact is confirmed to lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express.
Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationships between two people and the specific situations.
（1）Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage？
A．To the opposite sex，stare at him or her.
B．To a stranger，avoid looking at him or her.
C．In a conversation，look at the listener all the time.
D．Make eye contact depending on the relationships and different situations.
（2）If two persons exchange eye contact gently for a long time，what is probably their relationship？
A．Boss and employee.
B．Lovers.
C．Teacher and student.
D．Strangers.
（3）What's the best title of the passage？
A．Don't Stare at Others
B．Body Language Is Important
C．Eyes Can Speak
D．Eye Contact Benefits You組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Other cultures can be different from ours in many aspects!They can eat different foods and live in different types of houses.People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from ours.However，they can also be similar in ways of connecting with each other.We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages.
Some legends hold that，thousands of years ago，there was a single language spoken by everyone on Earth.It is fun to think about a time when everyone might have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this，of course.
Today，there are thousands of languages spoken around the world.Yet，there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people from wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings.For example，some people believe music is a universal language.There may be some scientific support for this idea，too.Experts have learnt that，across cultures，people can recognize three common emotions in music：happiness，sadness and fear.
So what other types of universal languages might there be？Some people believe dance is a universal language.Along with music，dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all over the world.Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it？We bet you could!
Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math!If you think about it now，though，it just makes sense.The value of pi is roughly 3.14159 no matter where you are on Earth，likewise，figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical calculations，regardless of whether you're counting in dollars，pesos or coconuts.
（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to？
A．The view that people only used one language.
B．The fact that there used to be many language.
C．The evidence that proves old language funny.
D．The doubt that people didn't understand each other.
（2）Why is music regarded as a universal language？
A．It can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
B．It can be understood more easily than language.
C．It usually comes from different backgrounds.
D．It helps people to share common feelings.
（3）What are the universal languages according to the passage？
A．Math，English and music.
B．Music，dance and math.
C．History，culture and music.
D．Emotion，pi and music.
（4）What can be the suitable title for the text？
A．Various Differences Between Cultures
B．Music Helps People Show Feelings
C．Universal Languages Connect Different Cultures
D．Cross-cultural Communication History組卷：1引用：2難度：0.7

9．Carol was nine years old.She lived with her father David，Mother May and elder brother Rob.The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature.The village was at the foot of a mountain，with beautiful views of the snowy mountain.The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees.Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life，Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village.She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop，move around the city，watch movies，and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes，etc.
However，there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day，Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep.Of course，she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol，but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life was better than the city life.
She told Carol， "Baby，you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with animals.You can hardly find any trees.You will not find peace as you see here!Do you still want to go to the city？"
Without hearing the concerns，Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.Grandmother granted her wish，but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city.
Later，she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
