1、   At just 12 years old, Leonardo Nicanor Quinteros is still in middle school, 1. but he has already run his own free school. He helps other children with their studies.

Leonardo loves to study. After seeing some of his classmates trying to keep up at school, he decided to do something about it. Last year, he told his grandmother that he wanted to have his own school. 2. 他要奶奶帮他把学校建在他们家隔壁。She agreed. Today, the free school has nearly 40 students. The boy acts as teacher and headmaster. 3. He is proud that what he does has already made a big difference to many of the children there.

The school is not much to look at. It's made mostly of adobe(土砖) and is pretty small. 4. 但是，在邻居们的帮助下，学校正变得越来越好。Leonardo lives 20 minutes away from his own school. But every day he gets on his bicycle after coming home from school and rides to his own school. He teaches classes on different subjects, like math and grammar. Sometimes, 5. when his students cannot come, he gives the classes at night to make sure they don't get behind on their studies.

Leonardo does his best to help students improve their subjects. Many admit (承 认) that they have improved a lot. “He helped me to pass the tests, now I'm in Third Grade,” one of the students said.

24、   LONDON—Manchester is Britain’s fattest city, a survey for “Men’s Health” has found, beating Glasgow for the first time since the magazine started examining the issue three years ago.

Editor Pete Muir said the survey had looked at a variety of factors from gym membership to heart disease rates to find the fattest city. “Manchester has more fast food restaurants than anywhere else in the UK,” he told Reuters. “People are taking the easy choice—eating and then just sitting in front of the TV.”

Manchester’s problem is part of a wider trend. On Thursday, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) blamed a lack of exercise and poor diet for a fifth of adult Britons being obese (过度肥胖的). “Obesity is a major risky factor connected with heart disease, diabetes and premature death (糖尿病和早亡).” said an ONS survey. “None of the 108 young men in the survey reported eating five portions of fruit or vegetables on average each day.”

In Manchester, the head of the city’s public health programs said he did not believe that they were necessarily the fattest city, but that they did have problems and were aiming to address them. Social deprivation (贫困) was a major factor. “One of the myths is that the stressed-out rich businessman is the one who is overweight,” David Regan told Reuters. “In fact, it is the poor areas that have the most problems. We aim not to be the fattest but the fittest city but we have a long way to go.”

Second in the survey is Stoke-on-Trent, followed by Liverpool, Swansea and Lecicester. Glasgow is sixth.

【1】Manchester took the place of __________ and became Britain’s fattest city.

A.Liverpool B.London C.Stoke-on-Trent D.Glasgow

【2】Obesity may lead to the following EXCEPT __________.

A.Heart disease B.diabetes C.premature death D.a lack of exercise

【3】This article is most probably taken from __________.

A.a newspaper B.a science book C.a novel D.a biography

25、The word “shanzhai” originally means “mountain village”，but it means “copy” in Chinese now.

I started to research this topic and found a whole new shanzhai world. There are shanzhai products and online games， even shanzhai culture. It is so popular that some people say to each other “have you shanzhaied today”? Like it or not， shanzhai has become part of our life in China.

I even met an American IT professional recently who has just had his shanzhai mobile phone. He was so proud of it and would not stop talking about all the functions while showing off the look of his phone. I could hardly see the back cover as he had stuck fake logos(假冒标记）“IPhone”， “Nokia” & “LG” on it.

But why has shanzhai become so popular in China? Why do over 50 percent of the people surveyed by CCTV support it? Firstly， many may not realize it but for Chinese people， the word “shanzhai’’ also reminds us of ‘‘the heroes of Liang shan”. Secondly， there would be no shanzhai without the Internet. Shanzhai has caught the interest of millions of Chinese online.

There are also shanzhai celebrities. Many shanzhai singers can be seen performing in some remote places where people cannot see performances by the actual “real” stars. These events are very successful， even though people know that they are not getting the “real” thing.

【1】 Shanzhai means ______ today.

A. copy       B. mountain village

C. terrible accident D.  the heroes of Liangshan

【2】Shanzhai is a popular word in ______.

A. Japan  B. America   C. China  D. England

【3】Shanzhai appears because of ______.

A. the telephone B. the television

C. the radio D. the Internet

【4】What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “remote”?

A虚拟的  B遥远的 C.真实的 D近处的

【5】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Many people are interested in shanzhai.

B. Shanzhi has become popular on the Internet these days.

C. Some shanzhai singers perform well and people love their performance.

D. People who watch shanzhai celebrities didn’t know they are false.

26、   Every year on a special day in March , the world celebrates women's day. Women from different countries have done great achievements and made a difference. The BBC has made a list of the greatest icons of the 20th century. Among the list's 28 people, 11 are women. Let's meet three of them.

Jane Goodall ( 1934-present, UK)

Jane Goodall is one of the most famous zoologists in the world. She studied chimpanzees in a special way and made some great findings. Goodall didn't study chimpanzees in a zoo. She spent 38 years in the wild forests in Africa. She lived among them and found that chimpanzees used tools, lived in groups and had feelings like love and anger. This showed that humans and chimpanzees might have the same ancestors. Goodall's findings surprised many people. We started to ask ourselves: What does it mean to human'? How can we better protect animals?

Billie Jean King ( 1943-present, US)

Billie Jean King is one of the best tennis players in American history. She not only won many games, but also fought for more rights for women sports players.

During her time, women players got much less money than men. A top tennis player named Bobby Riggs looked down on women players. So King played a game against and won. She showed the power of women.

Tu Youyou (1930-present, China)

Tu is a chemist. She found a cure for malaria(疟疾).  This has saved many lives around the world. Tu started work in the 1960s and found artemisinin(青蒿素) in a plant in 1971.

27、   It is the year 1026, the time of the Song Dynasty. You are trained to become a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor. You are about to take your final exam. What kind of thing will you face?

During the Song Dynasty, doctors needed to show thy understood meridians (经络) — paths of energy running through the body.

If you were the one to take the exam, you would be asked to show how you would treat symptoms on a life-sized model covered in wax (蜡). Under the wax, the model would be made of bronze (铜), filled with water, and covered in holes running along the meridian paths.

You would need to place an acupuncture needle (针灸用的针) into the correct part of a meridian to pass the exam. If you got it right, the needle would go straight through he hole, and water would pour out of the model. If you picked the wrong spot, the needle would hit the bronze model and you failed.

The exams wanted to make sure all young doctors knew how to treat patients hitting the same correct acupuncture points.

The first “bronze man” acupuncture model was made in 1026 by one of the great doctors named Wang Weiyi. Wang also wrote a book that was used across the country to teach how to use the model. Now you can see a copy of one of these bronze men in China’s National Museum.

【1】Why was there wax on the model?

A.Because the model was totally made of wax.

B.Because wax can protect the model well.

C.Because wax stopped test takers seeing the holes.

D.Because the meridians of the body were covered with wax.

【2】What does the underlined word “spot” mean in the passage?

A.地点 B.斑点 C.职位 D.疤痕

【3】What would happen if a test taker put his needle into a wrong point?

A.The water would pour out of the model.

B.The needle wouldn’t go straight through the hole.

C.There would be one more hole in the bronze model.

D.The hole would be covered with wax.

【4】From the last paragraph, we learn that________ .

A.Wang Weiyi invented the bronze man to test doctors

B.Wang Weiyi was also a teacher in the Song Dynasty

C.doctors now still take the bronze men now

D.we can’t see any of the bronze men now

【5】What does the story mainly talk about?
