A
My wife Hilary andI were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we saw a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!" An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. Thebear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod(三脚架in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew 1 would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards-the forest,before returning for another attack the first time I felt panic.
Obviously satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 1. How did the writer feel when faced with the brown bear? A. Fearful but confident. B. Nervous but brave. C. Upset but determined. D. Awful but hopeful. 2. The bear finally went away after it

A. got injured B. felt safe
C. found some food D. took away the camera 3. What does the author want to tell us? A. We should keep calm when troubles come
B. We should rise to the challenge when faced with difficulties. C. We should not risk ourselves in some dangerous areas.
D. We should learn to take advantage of anything at hand when in trouble.
B
A single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.
Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.
Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用 materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.
“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.
Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.
Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit to a disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world. 4. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?

A. To win the famous IF Design Award. B. To help poor kids make their own toys. C. To protect the environment in Istanbul. D. To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.
5. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?
A. A new picture of a young boy. B. A computer with high technology.
C. A treasure container from a dustbin: D. A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle. 6. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability? A. It provides the kids various types of toys. B. It offers space for the kids’ creative minds. C. It changes the poor kids' living conditions. D. It teaches the kids to share joys with others. 7. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners? A. Donating toykits to more poor children. B. Selling toy kits to every kid in the world. C. Designing new toy kits for kids and adults. D. Doing further research on the kids' demands.
C
An anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.
Findings from the school-based intervention (介入, which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting tohead offadult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.
Especially during the middle- and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from theUniversityofNewcastleinNew South Wales,Australia. He said, “In the future we need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”
Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas ofNew South Wales. At the start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器

to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the schoolday and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.
Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”
“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said. 8. The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”. A. damage B. defend C. prevent D. affect 9. The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________. A. walking and running
B. inviting them to nutrition workshops C. joining exercise sessions regularly D. giving meal replacement drinks
10. The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________. A. the participants didn’t take an active part in it
B. the program was not interesting and exciting to participants C. the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise help D. the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods. B. Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants. C. Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet. D. Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.
D

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.
The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.
We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目 but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is! 12. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Advertisements steal money from our pockets B. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements. C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities. D. Advertisements are everywhere.
13. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?

A. He appreciates the role of advertisements. B. He doubts the effect of advertisements. C. He believes what is said in advertisements. D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life. 14. Which of the following is Not True?
A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature. B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.
C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it. D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.
15. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?
( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5
A B.
C. D.

After a while, the man spoke to me in low voice. “Someone put his hand into my bag. I was trying to help you,” he said. I checked my bag and something was missing.
