1．Rodney Smith，Jr.started mowing the lawns（割草坪）in Huntsville，Alabama last fall.He used his time between classes at Alabama A&M to reach a goal of mowing 100 yards before winter.Smith has been cutting grass for free to help single moms，the elderly，and the disabled，while teaching the local youth the values that can turn boys into men. "I'm doing something positive.I want boys to follow me and be better than me" he wrote on his Facebook page.

2．California Condor's Shocking Recovery
California condors are North America's largest birds，with wing-length of up to 3 meters．In the 1980s，electrical lines and lead poisoning（鉛中毒） nearly drove them to dying out．Now，electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds．
In the late 1980s，the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred（繁殖）．Since 1992，there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild，and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona，Utah and Baja in Mexico．
Electrical lines have been killing them off．"As they go in to rest for the night，they just don't see the power lines，"says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo．Their wings can bridge the gap between lines，resulting in electrocution（電死） if they touch two lines at once．
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea．Tall poles，placed in large training areas，teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but not deadly electric shock．Before the training was introduced，66% of set-free birds died of electrocution．This has now dropped to 18%．
Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with．When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead，they absorb large quantities of lead．This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds，and can lead to kidney（腎） failures and death．So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo，where they are treated with calcium EDTA，a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days．This work is starting to pay off．The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011．
Rideout's team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years．"Although these measures are not effective forever，they are vital for now，"he says．"They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them．"
（1）California condors attract researchers' interest because they．
A．a(chǎn)re active at night
B．had to be bred in the wild
C．a(chǎn)re found only in California
D．a(chǎn)lmost died out in the 1980s
（2）Researchers have found electrical lines are．
A．blocking condors' journey home
B．big killers of California condors
C．rest places for condors at night
D．used to keep condors away
（3）According to Paragraph 5，lead poisoning．
A．makes condors too nervous to fly
B．has little effect on condors' kidneys
C．can hardly be gotten rid of from condors' blood
D．makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds
（4）The passage shows that．
A．the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B．Rideout's research interest lies in electric engineering
C．the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D．researchers have found the final answers to the problem組卷：2引用：2難度：0.7 -
3．Some years ago，a 28-year-old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water.Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest that was held by a local radio show.Called "Hold Your Wee For A Wii"，the contest organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom.The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest.When she and other participants complained of discomfort and showed signs of pains，they were laughed at by the organizers.
This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.
Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume（容量）．And since your blood volume exists within a closed system，increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels（血管）．Your kidneys（腎） must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system.Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes.Flushing more water through your kidneys doesn't necessarily help it become cleaner.Rather，your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time.And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage.
Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process.For the average person，it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists，as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a moment-to-moment basis.But make no mistake about it：this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term.
（1）Why is the Californian woman mentioned？
A．To lead to the topic of the text.
B．To tell us a tragic news story about a mother.
C．To tell us it can be dangerous to take part in contests.
D．To tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.
（2）When the participants showed signs of pains，the organizers.
A．became very concerned
B．were laughed at by others
C．tried to reduce their pains
D．didn't pay much attention to them
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A．How water is consumed in our body.
B．The importance of water to our health.
C．Why drinking too much water is dangerous.
D．The function of kidneys in consuming water.
（4）The stress caused by consuming unnecessary water.
A．isn't that dangerous
B．can never be found out
C．is really harmful in the long run
D．leads to some obvious symptoms組卷：41引用：2難度：0.6

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday，I took driving lessons．I still remember how hard first day was．Before getting into the car，I thought I had learned the instructor's orders，so once I started the car，my mind goes blank．I forgot what he had said to me altogether．The instructor kept repeating the word，"Speed up!""Slow down!""Turning left!"I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left．A few minutes late，the instructor asked me to stop the car．It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road．組卷：38引用：2難度：0.3
