            AProper Care and Use of a Microscope

    A microscope is a useful instrument for observing small objects. It shows people the details that are undetectable when they observe with their own eyes. Before using the microscope, please read the instruction below. 

Caution: 

Microscopes are both delicate and expensive, and must be handled with care. 

1.Always carry the microscope with two hands—one supporting the base and the other on the arm.

2.Keep the stage clean and always use a glass slide for specimens, the things tested or examined.

3.To avoid pressing the glass slide when focusing, begin with the lens (镜头) close to the specimen and gradually back off to focus.

4.Keep the microscope covered to prevent the buildup of dust while it is being stored.

How to Use the Microscope: 

1. Plug in the lamp.

2.Place a specimen on a slide.

3.Adjust the mirror so it reflects light from the room up into the objective lens.

4.Place your slide with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on the stage. If it is a wet slide, be sure the bottom of the slide is dry. 

5.With the LOW POWER objective lens placed over the slide, use the coarse focus knob to lower the lens to the lowest point. 

6.Look through the eyepiece with one eye while closing the other eye. Slowly raise the lens until the focus is relatively clear.

7.Use the fine focus knob to make very small changes to the focus. 

8.Without changing the focus knobs, switch to the HIGH POWER objective lens. Once you haveswitched to HIGH POWER, use only the fine focus knob to make the image sharper.

When using a microscope, you should use a glass slide for specimens to ______.

Akeep the stage clean

Bavoid pressing the lens

Cprevent the buildup of dust

Dsupport the base and the arm

                                 Gift Idea

    The other day I was shopping for Grandma when I realized I had no gift ideas at all. It was not a birthday gift or anything like that. It was simply sort of a hello gift. That is how we do things in my family. We don’t really give gifts for special occasions. Instead, we occasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them. 

    That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma. But it was like my imagination had dried up. I have gone through all of the gift ideas in previous years, fruits, wines, cheeses, little handmade crafts, and anything else that you can give to a grandmother. I had even given her gift watches, and CDs. What else was there? 

    I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women, because for men, you can always get the usual things, such as video games, power tools and things like that. With a woman’s gift idea, however, you have to know more about her. You cannot just get someone a book or a CD. You have to know all about her taste in movies, music, and literature. 

    My grandmother likes to read a lot, but what she likes is always pretty popular. I didn’t want to get her a book that she might not like, but I was running out of time. I needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her. After all, I hadn’t seen her for a long time. I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored. 

    Finally, I came up with the perfect gift idea. I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year. It wasn’t a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers, but it really worked in the situation. You see, I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan. Anyway, I had been learning about bookbinding recently, and had pretty much mastered the art. I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories, bind it altogether, and give it to her. It took hours to complete, but it was well worth the effort. She absolutely loved it.

The writer chose a gift for Grandma to _____.

Acelebrate a special family occasion

Bplease her during a weekend visit

Ccongratulate her on her birthday

Dbeg her pardon for ignoring her

    Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls’ sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport. 

     A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.” Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.

     Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble(翻滚). They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. 

     Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.
        Competitive cheerleaders’ goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.
        Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.
       So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just “flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.
       Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.

  What does the underlined word “bases” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

AStrength and cooperation.

BLifts and tosses.

CSupporting teammates.

DPhysical activities.

    Dogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be trained to help people with dementia. The idea developed by some university students will now be put into practice by Scotland Medical Center. The research is meaningful, for there are 670,000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.

    Dementia can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water. The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day. Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine.” For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine, “but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there’s a greater chance of them taking it.” Ms. Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat. “Dogs have an ability to say ‘it’s my feeding time’, so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dog’s food reminding the dog’s owner to eat too.”

    The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks. “It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community,” Ms. Gray said. “We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own. Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk. That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact. We hope we’d see this with people with dementia too.”

    There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions. Since conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms. Gray said, “We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. People light up when they see animals. There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner.”

Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine.” For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine, “but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there’s a greater chance of them taking it.” Ms. Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat. “Dogs have an ability to say ‘it’s my feeding time’, so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dog’s food reminding the dog’s owner to eat too.”

    The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks. “It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community,” Ms. Gray said. “We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own. Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk. That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact. We hope we’d see this with people with dementia too.”

    There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions. Since conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms. Gray said, “We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. People light up when they see animals. There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner.”

    Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls’ sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport. 

     A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.” Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.

     Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble(翻滚). They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. 

     Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.

        Competitive cheerleaders’ goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach. 

        Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.

       So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just “flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes. 

       Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.

It can be learned from the passage that cheerleading _________________.

Ais a good sport for all people

Blacks necessary guidelines to follow

Cis more than a form of entertainment

Denjoys greater popularity than other sports

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

                Flash Mob: The Pop Culture

    If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)?  71  Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate. 

    Aflash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.  72  At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. 

    Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003  at Macy’s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy’s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds.  73  

    Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 74  They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

      75  People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words. 

    Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

A.Don’t be confused by their name.

B.People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities.

C.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.

D.Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place. 

E.A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.

F.The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people.

G.Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.

______________________________________________________________________________

正确答案

Possible version:

    Recently our school held a basketball game between teachers and students to encourage the relationship between us. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience.

    Last Monday, the loudspeaker in the classroom announced that there was going to be a basketball game on the playground this Friday. Everybody was excited at the news. Soon two teams were formed and both trained hard for the game. Then came the big day. All the players competed against each other on the court and presented their remarkable basketball skills like slam dunking and jump shooting. Each of them tried their best to win. What a wonderful game!

    Meanwhile, many teachers and students were cheering for the players on the sidelines. Some were holding up a sign saying “Go for it!” while others were screaming for their favorites. The atmosphere was charged with great excitement. Finally, the students won the game. Holding up the cup and standing side by side, all the players took a picture together to record this precious moment.

    Through this activity, both teachers and students really enjoyed the game. Not only did we realize the importance of teamwork in the game but also we felt much closer to one another after that.
