It is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond. Pluto's recent departure from the classical planet family clearly proves that size really matters.
Astronomers voted on August 24 to create the first scientific definition of the word "planet ", and Pluto obviously didn't make the cut. It turned out to be only a "dwarf planet (矮行星) ".
After weeks of heated debate, over 2, 500 astronomers from 75 countries voted on the definition of a "planet" at a conference of the International Astronomical Union ( IAU ). According to the definition, a planet must have a clear neighbourhood around its orbit. Pluto has widely been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. Unfortunately, it has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptune's. It is all because, compared with Neptune, Pluto is very small. It is attracted by Neptune's gravity when the two planets get closer.
According to IAU, a "dwarf planet" should have an orbit around the Sun. It will not have a clear neighborhood around its orbit, and must not be a satellite. The new classification means that the science textbooks will have to be updated.
The solar system is now made up of the eight "classical planets," together with a number of dwarf planets. The classical planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The debate over Pluto's status started in 1992. After an advanced telescope was sent into space, astronomers started to find a belt of objects, which lies beyond Neptune. The belt contains nearly 1,000 objects, including Pluto. As they continued the exploration, scientists recently discovered at least 41 dwarf planets at the edges of the solar system. There are at least two objects of a similar size to Pluto.
It seems that even if the IAU had kept Pluto's status as a planet, the classical theory of nine planets in the solar system would have had to be changed, but the other way around. More dwarf planets of a similar size to Pluto would join the family of planets. Scientists will probably find many more dwarf planets.
41. The main purpose of the text is to ____________.
A. prove to the readers that size matters
B. tell readers about a big change of the planets
C. explain the classical theory of planets
D. inform us of science textbooks being updated
42. We can infer from the text that _____________.
A. eight planets make up the solar system
B. it has been hard for scientists to define a "planet"
C. Mars is very hot and you can't go near it
D. Pluto shares the same orbit with Neptune
43. Scientists argued about Pluto's status for a long time because _____________.
A. Pluto was first discovered in 1930
B. the family of planets is too big
C. Pluto is located beyond Neptune
D. many dwarf planets, like Pluto, were found
44. The reason for Pluto's departure is that ____________.
A. Pluto does not fit the definition of a "planet"
B. Pluto cannot compete with other planets
C. Pluto is attracted by Neptune's gravity
D. other objects of its size have been discovered
45. The best title of the text is _____________.
A. An Unexpected Result
B. Eight Planets
C. Goodbye Pluto
D. New Scientific Definition

答案:
How to Make Friends
Making friends is a skill. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must first go where there are people, for staying home alone won't have any chances of making friends.
Some people are nervous when talking to strangers, so try to act self-confidently when you want to make friends with others. Don't wait for others to start a conversation with you when you feel like talking with them. Friendship is based on mutual liking and "give and take". You should also develop different interests in your daily life, for a person with different interests is easy to make friends with others. If you
do as I tell you, I'm sure you can make friends with others.

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK-US President Bush said on Monday that he wanted Osama bin Laden "dead or alive" for last week's attacks on the World Trade Center and the pentagon, but many of Washington's allies are cool on strikes against Afghanistan.
Bush has named Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden as a prime suspect, though he has provided no evidence for his claim. Still, he had been building public support for military action and has warned Afghanistan's Taliban to give up Bin Laden.
But the Taliban, which has warned of "holy war" in response to any US attack, by Tuesday afternoon had given no indication of whether the man they call their "guest" would be handed over.
On, an unprecedented "Day of terror", two planes smashed into New York's World Trade Center twin towers on September ll, putting them into ruins while explosions rocked the Pentagon in Washington, and the White House and State Department were evacuated (疏散). The attacks have left more than 5, 000 people dead or missing.
China has said it is ready to join international efforts in fighting "terrorism" but insisted that peace, not war, is the best option (选项).
In London, Blair declared it a "war between the civilized world and fanaticism" and determined to stand by anally which aided Britain in two world wars. France, Germany and other, including Russia, are also supportive. "The evil must be punished," Russian President Vladimir Putin said. "But we should not liken ourselves to bandit." His defense chiefs have ruled out hosting NATO forces in former Soviet Central Asia or joining US military action, although Moscow says it will help with intelligence.
41. What building(s) was/were totally damaged?
A. The World Trade Center and the Pentagon. B. The World Trade Center.
C. The Pentagon. D. The White House.
42. In this passage, what country does the underlined pan refer to?
A. Russia. B. France. C. Germany. D. America.

I restarted my senior high school life due to my failure in my entrance examination. I was very upset at that time.
My teacher found me depressed. One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life "We might suffer from making mistakes, but it's important to model ourselves into the people we will become. All the growing pains and the embarrassing things we may experience are part of the process. We never stop growing up, so learn from it and keep up your spirit! "At last, he added, "if you are optimistic, things you want may happen to you!"
Warm feelings rush through my soul. I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office.
With the teacher's help, I eventually got over my depression. From then on, I no longer bowed my head but began smiling to my classmates. I would put up my hand confidently in class and kid with my new friends in my spare time. Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates.

答案:
I will Never Forget My Teacher
When the student was upset, the teacher told him about his own attitude towards life and encouraged him to face bravely pains and gains in life, which helped him finally defeat his depression.
Teachers play an important role in us students' growth. We can't grow up well without our teachers. A good teacher can help his students out to great successes. He can also encourage his students to be brave when they are upset and in trouble. What is more, a good teacher can make you independent and confident. I will never forget my English teacher, Mr. Li, who never looked me as a stupid student; he always gave a lot of encouragement and kind help, which led to my good command of English.
Teachers' love is unforgettable. Their kind help will be of great benefit to us forever.

Dear Sir
Being completely deaf myself, I read your report of the poor conditions of the deaf and mute (哑)who were gathering in New York 31 (beg). I supposed that 32 could not happen here in Australia. 33 , two years later, I was having dinner in a restaurant in Sydney 34 a person entered and started handing out plastic jewellery (首饰) and a note to people at each table. The main idea of the note was, "I am unable to speak and 35 (hear) in a world of voices and music. 36 you kindly buy these things?" When he came to my table, I questioned him 37 sign language. He was a little surprised. Then he said in a low voice "don't talk" (which I
could read from his lip movement) and moved away.
Please do not 38 ( take ) in by those people. Please do not give them any money. They are 39 deaf nor representative (代表) of the deaf. They make use of people's pity, and 40 they are doing will do harm to all that has been achieved by the deaf in the last 20 years-including putting this practice to an end.
Truly yours,

难度:**
These days, it's easy to fly across oceans for vacation. Centuries ago, however, crossing the open seas required thorough and accurate planning, handmade boats, and courage. Scientists and historians have long been looking for clues to explain who crossed which oceans first. When it comes to the trip between Polynesia (玻利尼西亚中太平洋群岛) and South America, chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers, according to new evidence.
After studying an ancient chicken bone, anthropologists (人类学家) from the University of Auckland in New Zealand now say that people and chickens traveled from Polynesia to what is now Chile (智利) by about 620 years ago. By then, the Inca people were already living in South America, but the Polynesians would have been the first to get there by sea. Previous theories claimed that European explorers and their chickens sailed to South America first -- but those voyagers didn't arrive until about a century later.
In 2002, archaeologists dug up 50 chicken bones from a site in Chile called El Arenal. The team from New Zealand analyzed one to these bones. According to their calculations, the bone is about 650 years old.
The researchers also compared the genetic material, or DNA, from the South American chicken bone with DNA from 11 chicken bones that had been found on the Polynesian islands of Tonga and American Samoa. These islands are 6,000 miles west of Chile. The bones found on the Polynesian islands are been 600 and 2,000 years old.
Results of the comparisons showed that the chicken bones from both the Polynesian and South American sites had part of DNA in common. The researchers found the same part of DNA in feathers of two living chickens in Chile that belong to a modem breed that lays blue eggs. That DNA evidence suggests a close relationship among the chickens.
"However, the weight of scientific evidence is now behind the hypothesis (假设) that it was seafaring ( 航海) Polynesians who sailed from the islands to South America and returned," says archaeologist Patrick V. Kirch of the University of California, Berkeley.
41. What is the passage mainly about?
A. It was difficult for ancient people to travel between Polynesia and South America.
B. The first people who lived in Chile and Polynesia.
C. Valuable chicken bones have been found in Chile.
D. Chickens -- the first to travel between Polynesia and South America.
42. When did the first European explorers reach South America?
A. About 620 years ago. B. About 2.000 years ago.
C. About 600 years ago. D. About 520 years ago.
43. People found that chickens were among the first to travel from Polynesia to South America by ___________.
A. comparing the colors of eggs laid by chickens from the two places
B. comparing the DNA of chicken bones dug up on the Polynesian islands and that of the chicken bones from South America
C. studying some previous theories
D. asking the natives of South America
44. What do we learn from the passage?
A. European explorers and their chickens were the first to sail to South America.
B. Chickens in South America have the same ancestors as those in Polynesia.
C. In ancient times, a 6,000-mile channel separated Polynesia from South America.
D. Before the Polynesians arrived in South America, the Inca people had lived there. '
45. Why was it difficult for people to travel across the oceans in ancient times, according to the passage?
1) It was difficult to take many chickens as food.
2) People had difficulty making careful and detailed sailing plans.
3) People lacked maps and the knowledge of weather forecasting.
4) People had to make boats by hand.
5) It took great determination to cross an ocean.

I like water gymnastics best for many reasons. First of all, I am a good swimmer. Therefore, I am interested in all kinds of Olympic swimming sports. Especially, I am fond of water gymnastics for two major reasons-the amazing movements and those sexy and those very beautiful women swimmers. Most importantly, I like the great music and their amazing performance in water ballet. When I watch this Olympic sport, I can learn their professional techniques in swimming.
For example, swimmers' performance is evaluated based on a series of predetermined elements. Arm sections and figures, similar to those of figure skating, are also required, and all elements must be presented in a specific order. Because synchronized (同步的) swimming routines require exceptional breath control, judges also take into consideration the ability of the swimmers to preserve the illusion (n.幻想) of effortlessness while holding their breath for up to two minutes.

答案:
I Have Fallen in Deep Love with Football
In the above passage, the writer tells us the reasons why he likes water gymnastics, such as the amazing movements and those sexy and those very beautiful women swimmers.
Football is a very popular sport in the world and I think I have fallen in deep love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have spent lots of time doing many things related to football, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, searching the Web for more information about football, which certainly disturbs my normal study. I can't concentrate so much on my lessons, falling asleep in class the next day and not finishing nay homework on time that I have almost lost interest in my studies.
How should I deal with the contradiction between my studies and hobbies? Some helpful suggestions are needed. Meanwhile, I quite regret that I shouldn't have been addicted to football so much. Maybe, I xafill get out of the trouble with my efforts and fall in love with my study again.

难度:**
People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May and Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It's also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery, on these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It's not the value of the gift that is important, but "the thought that counts ". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

I'm happy to hear from you and know that you set your new goal and have begun your study in another school.
It is natural that you feel lonely in your new class as you did in your old one, but I'm sure you'll get along well with the other classmates in your new class if you find chances to make friends with them, in which way you'll find them just as understanding as your old ones.
The reason why you feel too tired and can't concentrate yourself may be that you don't organize your time well enough and can't get enough sleep. Don't work too late or too hard and you are likely to get less tired. Try to be more confident and you'll succeed.
Wish you every success.
