Do you dream of winning the lottery? Millions of people do. What happens if you win the lottery? Let's look at three lottery winners. Lisa wanted to be an artist, but she didn't have enough money to go to an art school. She was working at a job she didn't enjoy. On August 1st, Lisa bought one ticket and won two million dollars. She quit her job three weeks later and now she is attending an art school. Mark was a car salesman. He worked seven days a week and had little time for his family. After he won the lottery, he quit working. Now he spends his time bowling, working in the garden, and fixing things in his house. But he's bored. He doesn't want to sell cars again, but he isn't sure what he wants to do with his life. Jack is one of the small number of winners who did not quit his job. Jack still teaches at a school near his home. But now he and his wife take their children on an interesting vacation every year. And they won't worry about the charge for their children in colleges. They say that money brings security and gives opportunities, but it doesn't bring happiness.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Dr. Bob，
I was visiting my sister Mary, who has two boys, ages seven and five. They were throwing a ball around the living room. She asked them several times to stop, but they didn't listen to her. Finally, one of the boys threw the ball and knocked over a lamp. She shouted loudly at them for several minutes. Then, she sent them to their room. She looked at me and said, “They never listen to me.”
Carmen Dear Carmen，
Your sister needs to be clear to her children what behavior she expects. She should tell her boys, “Don't throw the ball in the house. If you throw the ball again, I'm going to take it.” Then, she needs to do what she says. Her boys will soon learn to listen to her.

Dear Dr. Bob，
I walked into my twoyearold daughter's bedroom and found her coloring on the wall again with her crayons. I told her, “No! No! Never write on the wall with your crayons. You can only write on paper.” My husband thinks I was too easy on her and that she needed a spanking (打屁股). What is your opinion?
Debbie

You dealt with the situation well. Children this age are too little to understand the relationship between their actions and a spanking. Use this as a warning; it's time to_babyproof_your_home.

Check her room and your home for crayons, paints, medicines, cleaning products, and other things that might interest her.

Clover, a threeyearold spirit bear, lives at the B．C.Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he broke into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts (专家) tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people. Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild. Since then, a total ofD|S750,000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.
The habitat covers about three acres (英亩) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else. It will add a platform and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more
closely. There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears. Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.
Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them. Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene (基因) for white fur. If a baby bear receives one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color. There are about 1,200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white Kermode bears in the world. Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia. They live in the Great Bear Rainforest, an area that covers the mainland and islands along the coast of B．C.between Vancouver and Alaska.

Those pretty little brown spots on the skin might be common, but freckles (雀斑) remain a bit of a mystery to many — including those who have them. We interviewed three top skin doctors to explain the mysterious spots.
“They get darker in the summertime, when the skin is in strong sunlight, and fade, or lose color, in the wintertime，” says Dr. Joshua Zeichner at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. “The sun's ultraviolet rays (紫外线) help some skin cells to produce more melanin (黑色素) in the skin.”
Contrary to (与……相反) popular belief, nobody is born with freckles, which 配套K12内容资料
B．C.
配套K12内容资料
generally don't pop_up until adolescence. That is, some young people start to have freckles when they are developing into adults.
“But freckles often ‘run in the family’， especially in families that have fair skin，” says Jessica Wu, MD, a Los Angelesbased doctor. “People with fair skin and red or blond hair may have the same skin cells as their parents. Such skin cells are more sensitive (敏感的) to ultraviolet rays, so they produce more melanin in those spots.”
The spots themselves are nothing to fear, but those who have freckles are often fairskinned as well, which in turn makes them more likely to get skin cancer, warns Dr. Howard Murad, who is known as “the Father of Internal Skincare”．
Freckles can be lightened with proper treatment, and new freckles often fade on their own. As with many things in life, prevention is key. “Wear sunscreen every day as part of your lifestyle, like brushing your teeth，” says Zeichner. Wu agrees, “I do warn my patients with freckles to understand the necessity of wearing sunscreen.”
Safe sun practice is important for everyone, but having freckles means you need to be extra careful. “You are likely to get more of them — in addition to risk of skin cancer — if you don't use sun protection，” warns Wu.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了雀斑的形成、危害以及相应的防范措施。 28．What do we know about freckles? A．They can be cleared easily. B．They usually appear in summer. C．They disappear completely in winter. D．They have something to do with the sun.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The sun's ultraviolet rays (紫外线) help some skin cells to produce more melanin (黑色素) in the skin.”可知，雀斑和太阳照射有关。
29．The underlined words “pop up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”． A．remain C．change
B．appear D．return
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据画线部分后的“That is, some young people start to have freckles when they are developing into adults.”可推断，pop up应该是“出现”的意思。
30．What is Zeichner and Wu's advice for people with freckles? 配套K12内容资料
配套K12内容资料
A．Waiting patiently for all the freckles to fade. B．Washing the freckled skin with a soft brush. C．Making a daily habit of using sunscreen. D．Trying not to do exercise in the sun.

31．What is the purpose of the text? A．To provide some knowledge of freckles. B．To explain the reasons for skin cancer. C．To show how dangerous freckles are. D．To introduce three top skin doctors.
解析：选A 写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文旨在向读者提供一些关于雀斑的知识。

You may hear the expression: “If you give a person a fish, they will eat for a day. If you teach a person to fish, they can eat for a lifetime.”
One way to explain this is that helping people grow their own food is a better way to fight hunger. That is the purpose of an agricultural research organization called HarvestPlus.HarvestPlus is teaching people around the world how to grow what it calls “smart” crops (庄稼). Its project in Mozambique, a country in Southeast Africa, is having surprising influences.
Sweet potatoes have vitamin (维生素) A, which keeps your eyes healthy and helps the body fight disease. In 2006, HarvestPlus workers provided orange sweet potato plants to people in 24 Mozambique villages. The workers taught these people how to grow the vegetables and also explained the importance of vitamin A to staying healthy.
Farmers in Mozambique had been planting white and yellow sweet potatoes, which have very little vitamin A. However, one small, orange sweet potato has a full day's supply of vitamin A.
Alan de Brauw from the International Food Policy Research Institute says about 70 percent of children there were not getting enough vitamin A. He says the potatoes had a surprising influence on the health of children. At the end of the threeyear study, the researchers found that children living in villages growing orange sweet potatoes had 40 percent fewer chances of getting diarrhea (痢疾) than other boys 配套K12内容资料
配套K12内容资料
and girls. Among children under the age of three, the difference was 50 percent.
Experts (专家) are suggesting that connecting agriculture and health problems is natural and helpful. Anne Herforth, a food expert, says the findings do a good job making the connection between food production and health. “Look, you produce a food and it's available to people to eat and they like it; then it does good things for health.”
语篇解读：本文是说明文。农业研究组织HarvestPlus以一种特殊的方式不仅解决了粮食危机而且还改善了人们的健康状况。
32．Why was HarvestPlus set up?
A．To provide food for people around the world. B．To help farmers increase crop production. C．To do research on agricultural products. D．To deal with the hunger problem.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“helping people grow their own food is a better way to fight hunger. That is the purpose of an agricultural research organization called HarvestPlus”可知，HarvestPlus这个组织的目的是要解决饥饿问题。
33．What's special about orange sweet potatoes? A．They have more vitamin A. B．They sell better in villages. C．They taste much sweeter. D．They are easier to plant.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“white and yellow sweet potatoes, which have very little vitamin A”和“one small, orange sweet potato has a full day's supply of vitamin A”可知，橙色的红薯含有更多的维生素A。
34．What surprised the researchers?
A．Diarrhea was extremely common in Mozambique villages. B．Orange sweet potatoes strongly influenced children's health. C．Most children in Mozambique weren't getting enough vitamin A. D．There was a big difference in the health of children of different ages. 解析：选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“the potatoes had a surprising influence on the health of children”以及接下来的研究结果可知，橙色红薯对儿童的健康有着巨大作用，这让研究者感到非常诧异。
35．In Anne Herforth's opinion, ________. 配套K12内容资料
配套K12内容资料
A．connecting food with health is useful
B．people should try their best to produce natural food C．agriculture and health problems always go hand in hand
D．it's more important to produce healthy food than delicious food
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Anne Herforth ... says the findings do a good job making the connection between food production and health.”以及他接下来说的话可知，他认为将食物和健康联系在一起是有用的。

参考范文： Dear Jack，
I'm glad to hear that you have joined the Chinese Learning Group in your school. It is normal that you'll have difficulty learning Chinese at first. I hope you won't give up.
Learning Chinese well will be very important and useful for you. It can help you learn more about Chinese history and culture. Moreover, it can help you communicate with Chinese people better. To learn Chinese well, you need to practice speaking it as often as possible, especially with native speakers. In addition, listening to Chinese songs or learning to sing them is a good way to memorize Chinese words. Why not have a try? If there is anything I can do to help you, do tell me.
Best wishes，
Li Hua
