Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners!”
1. Visitors like to go there in to enjoy on the longest day of the year.
A. July; sunrise B. June; sunrise C. June; sunset D. July; sunset
2. When was Stonehenge most likely built?
A. 750,000 years ago. B. Six centuries ago.
C. 5,000 years ago. D. In 2001.
3. What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?
A. Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.
B. It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.
C. It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.
D. It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.
4. What aren’t people interested in about Stonehenge?
A. Where it was built. B. Who built it.
C. When it was built. D. Why it was built.
5. What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working — and
great planners”?
A. He has known who built Stonehenge.
B. He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery.
C. He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge.
D. He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.

入库时间：2014-10-27We are all busy talking about and using the Internet,but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.At that time,computers were large and expensive.Computer networks(网络) didn’ t work well.If one computer in the network broke down,then the whole network stopped.So a new network system(系统) had to be set up.It should be good enough to be used by many different computers.If part of the network was not working,information could be sent through another part.In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first,the Internet was only used by the government,but,in the early 1970s,universities,hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too.However,computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use.By the start of the 1990s,computers become cheaper and easier to use.Scientists had also developed software(软件) that made “surfing(浏览)” the Internet more conveninent(方便).
Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’ s life.

入库时间：2014-09-24London’s Chinese community (社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However, London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled (定居) in a different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.
As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.
1. When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?
A. In the 1950s.
B. More than 200 years ago.
C. After the Second World War.
D. At the start of the 20th century.
2. Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in 1950s?
A. Because it was easy for them to get jobs there.
B. Because Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war.
C. Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food.
D. Because their children could study there and get highly paid jobs.
3. In the 1950s, Chinese immigrants came to London and worked as ______.
A. sailors B. farmers
C. sailors and farmers D. restaurant workers
4. Where is London’s Chinatown now?
A. In the east of London. B. In Limhouse.

入库时间：2012-09-15Long, long ago people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glasses in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fire. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fir starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.

入库时间：2012-07-29In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的).
Photography also became a kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
Answer the following questions according to what you read.
6. Who took the first photo?
7. The Daguerreotype was a kind of photo, wasn’t it?
8. If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in 1840, what did he have to do?
9. Why was Mathew Brady famous?

A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted the children who had no parents to have a home. He wanted them to have the deep love and good care of parents.
Gmeiner had no enough money, so he asked the people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children's Village at last, in Australia. It was open in 1949 .This is how the SOS Children's Village started. The letters SOS come from “Save our Souls.” The words mean “Please help us!” An SOS Children's Village can give help to the children who need help.
Hermann Gemeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread(传播) all over the world. By 1983 there were 17 SOS Children's Villages in the world.

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic started her first trip from Southampton, England, to New York City, US. The ship was the world’s largest and most luxurious（豪华的）one at that time.
High-class facilities（设备）for passengers including restaurants, a library and a swimming pool made the ship like a floating hotel. More importantly, its owners and builders said it was unsinkable（不会下沉的）.
However, on April 15, the ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and killed over 1,500 people.
This April 15, on the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the sinking of the Titanic, people in the UK and US will hold activities to remember the event. James Cameron’s 1997 film, Titanic, was a huge hit all around the world. Now the 3-D film will come to Chinese theaters on April 10. It is a love story between a poor young man named Jack and a rich young woman named Rose on the unlucky ship. In Belfast, UK, the port of the Titanic’s birth, a museum called Titanic Belfast will open to the public.
Today, the sinking of the Titanic is not just an accident. It has become a popular expression to mean a large disaster or mistake, usually because of too much confidence.
In the UK, if somebody says that his or her mobile phone is really great and could never break, others might say, “Yeah, and people said the Titanic was unsinkable.” In other words, no matter how confident or proud people are about something, anything can go wrong.
43. The first and second paragraph mainly tells us _____.
A. Titanic had High-class facilities B. the ship was built in 1912
C. what kind of ship Titanic was D. Titanic was like a hotel
44. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hit” in Paragraph 4?
A. Success B. Break C. Knock D. Movie
45. In which situation can we say “The Titanic was unsinkable” to Tom?
A. He is worried about the result of his exam. B. He wants to make friends with Jack.
C. He is sure to win in the competition. D. He is asking for a day off.
46. Through the passage, the writer wants to tell us that _____.
A. Titanic was an unlucky ship
B. any mobile phone can go wrong
C. the 3-D film “Titanic” will be put on in China

入库时间：2012-07-07If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.
Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
( )61. The main idea of the passage is to _______.
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C. tell students how to make friends D. teach boys how to talk with girls
( )62. We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.
A. with a good state of mind B. in real friendship C. in public D. in secret
( )63. If you are a shy person, you can ________.
A. find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B. only have a few friends of the same sex
C. not make friends with the other sex D. not fall in love with other students easily
( )64. What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?
A. 波浪 B. 泥潭 C. 圈套 D. 迷惑

A. complicated(复杂的)in feelings B. good at making friends with each other
