Passage 1
The White House of America
The White House is one of the world’s most famous b 1 . For more than two hundred years, the White House has been more than just the home of the Presidents and their families. It has stood as a s 2 of being President, of the United States g 3 , and of the American people. At various times in history, the White House has been k 4 as the “President’s Palace”, the “President’s House”, and the “Executive Mansion”(行政官邸). President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.
The White House includes special sections for public visits and p 5 family sections that are just for the family. The president’s office, for example, is in the West Wing of the building. Above the Oval(椭圆的)Office are the private family sections, where the present President Obama and his family have dinner t 6 nearly every night.
Each year about 15 million people visit the White House. As a v 7 , you can walk on the White House lawns, go through its halls and even sample(品尝)a meal from its kitchen! With five full-time cooks, the White House kitchen is able to serve dinner to as many as 140 g 8 .
It takes a lot of people to keep the White House running—about 1,700 to be exact! These employees do everything f 9 cooking to answering phones to taking photos to arranging flowers to decorating the place for Christmas each year. There are official White House electricians(电工), servants, cooks, secretaries and even librarians.
For recreation（娱乐）, the White House has a variety of facilities available to people,

Passage 2
So many twins
Walk around Kodinji village and you’ll think that you have double vision. N 1 knows why there are so many twins in the village of over 5,000 people.
In fact with about 35-45 twins per 1,000 live birth, this village in North Kerala, India, has four times more twins than normal. B 2 on door-to-door surveys, there are probably now around 230 sets of twins in the village, locals said. That number doesn’t include five women pregnant (怀孕的) with twins.
The twins of 60 are the oldest twins in the village, while the youngest were born on June 10 this year. Being a twin is not always easy. Pathummakutty, a middle-aged woman, recalls how her family struggled for a l 3 when she was a child. But she also remembers good times
such as l 4 after she was mixed up with her twin sister. At the local school, 15-year-old Salmabi said teachers often c 5 her for her twin sister and she was once scolded for something that her twin sister did.
Scientists are still trying to uncover the m 6 of why there are so many twins in the village. “Based on scientific facts, we feel something in the e7 is causing this. It could be something in the water,” said a local do ctor, M.K. Sribiju. The locals also believe it is to do with the water. Kodinji is surrounded by clear water in the small river.
As scientists try to find the r 8 for the large numbers of twins in the village, the parents are busy trying to tell their children apart. While parents lightheartedly（自由自在地；无忧无虑地）point out that their twins even seem to fall sick together but not all traits (特性) are s 9 . The twins Anu and Abhi prefer different film stars and one of the boys likes to play tennis, w 10 the other prefers kicking a soccer ball.

One of the best tourist destination-Cape Town
C ape Town （开普敦，南非西南部港市）is making great efforts to strengthen its travel i
1 to make sure that it is ready to entertain all the t
2 who will travel to South Africa for the international football event, the World Cup in 2010. As Cape Town began to grow, the world started to really discover the true potential of this beautiful tourist d 3. Whether for pure pleasure or business opportunities, the number of people traveling to South Africa, and especially Cape Town, has increased g 4.
A truly i 5 aspect（方面）that helped the growth of Cape Town’s travel industry was Cape Town’s architecture（农业）that combines（结合）different architectural styles from all over the world including such countries as Britain, France and Holland. Cape Town’s architecture is considered to have the largest number of buildings built in Cape Dutch style. Cape Town’s travel industry also benefits from the annual Cape Town Minstrel Carnival（吟游诗人嘉年华会）, which is h 6 on January 2nd and has a lot of music and beautiful displays that are sure to entertain anyone visiting or p 7 through Cape Town.
To really make your vacation to Cape Town unforgettable, make sure that you rent a car from one of the many car rental companies in Cape Town. Apart from the local car rental companies, there are a lot of i 8 car rental companies that benefit from the growing Cape Town travel industry. There is surely a car rental company that has the v 9 to suit each and every one of your needs. Some companies offer full insurance（保险）, some do not, so be careful before c 10 . The most important factors you need to think about when making your pick from the large variety of car rental companies are insurance against theft, and insurance against accidents. Other than this concern, we are sure you will have a great time in Cape Town.

Passage 4
The invention of paper in China
What makes a truly great invention? Must it be practical? Can it be beautiful? Must a great invention make a big d 1 to the lives of many or only a few people? There are many different ways to judge what makes a good invention.
Perhaps the g 2 invention is the one that not only has an influence on almost everyone living on the planet, but also allows people to have access（接近，进入）to more information and to advance civilization.
In today’s world, e ven with the d 3 of technology, it’s difficult to imagine a world without paper! Things like money, books, and ID cards would not be possible without the invention of paper.
The world would be very different today, indeed, without the c 4 of Cai Lun, a Chinese man who lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty in central China. Cai worked as a paperwork secretary under Emperor Hedi. D 5 that time, it was common to record something important in natural m 6 such as silk, bamboo or wood. Silk was very expensive, and it took a long time to make it. Bamboo was widely found, but carrying it around took lots of
s 7 . The pieces of wood took up too much room.
Cai revolutionized (变革) this practice by c 8 a type of writing material made from inexpensive materials such as tree bark(树皮), and old cloth. He even put broken fishing nets into his papermaking. His work began to be known around China as “Cai Lun paper”. People praised the writing material for its strong but lightweight quality. It was inexpensive and could be mass-produced easily.
Because it was cheap, lightweight and easily t 9 , the new paper invented by Cai allowed scholars to record more and more stories of China’s long and well–known history. Furthermore, it helped s 10 the information to the world.

Dogs —humans’ best friends
We all think that dogs are “humans’ best friends”. Dogs have earned the love and respect of humans. Many have given their own lives to s 1 people. Dogs are faithful and devoted. For example, Bobby, a Skye terrier(斯凯狗,一种苏格兰种长毛短腿猎犬）, went to the market with his Scottish m 2 every day. After his master died, Bobby would not move from his grave. He stayed there until he died, for about 10 years.
Dogs serve many useful f 3 . One type of dog is good at watching and herding sheep. Wherever sheep are raised, a sheep-herding dog is developed. For instance, there is the German Shepherd Dog. In Scotland, there is the Shetland Sheep-dog. They are both recognized breeds. Specially-trained dogs l 4 the blind. Such dogs are carefully selected. It takes about three to five months to train them. Guide dogs will refuse to cross a busy street u 5 the traffic has stopped.
One interesting type of dog is the St. Bernard. How did it get its name? It was developed by the monks(僧侣，修道士) of the St. Bernard Monastery which is l 6 in the Alps（阿尔卑斯山）of Switzerland. The dogs weigh from 140 to 220 pounds. This kind of dog is one of the h 7 dogs in the world.
St. Bernards are famous for rescuing travelers lost in the snow. They have a wonderful
s 8 of smell. They find people buried u 9 several feet of snow. A St. Bernard named Barry rescued 40 persons. This was over a period of years.
There is a popular misconception（误解，错解）a 10 these dogs. They do not carry flasks around their necks. Sir Edwin Landseer misrepresented（不如实描述）them this way in a painting.

Passage 7
The phone you dial on your hand
If you’re sick of carrying your cell phone around with you, scientists could have come up with a s 1 : a phone that you dial on your arm!
It sounds c 2 but the experts have invented a device（装置）that projects (投影) your phone’s numbers onto your skin.
To make a c 3 you just dial the numbers where they appear on your arm and the “phone” will call your friends!
At the m 4 you have to carry a projector with you for the device to work.
The projector is strapped（绑）to your arm, and projects a keypad（键盘）on your skin. When you touch a key, the movement is picked up by a sensor（传感器）in the projector which sends a m 5 to the device telling it what to do.
The device is still being developed and won’t be in the shops for a while.

Passage 8
It's dangerous to drive when you're on the phone
A new study g 1 by the University of Utah(美国犹他大学) found that cell phones are more of a distraction（注意力分散）than anything else for drivers. Researchers found that the cell phone is a bigger distraction for the driver rather than a p 2 sitting and talking in their ca r. “The passenger adds a second set of eyes, and helps the driver notice and r 3 them where to go,” says David Strayer, a professor at the University of Utah and a co-author of the study.
The s 4 showed that hands-free（免提的）phones are just as distracting to drivers. They also discovered that when a younger adult talks on his cell phone w 5 driving, his reaction becomes as slow as a senior citizen’s reaction. They also found that drivers talking on cell phones are as sluggish（行动缓慢的，懒惰的）as someone with a 0.08 blood alcohol level.
“When you take a l 6 at the data, it turns out that a driver talking with a passenger is not so t 7 as a driver talking on a cell phone,” Strayer says. “You also find when there is a passenger in the car, almost everyone takes the exit. But half the people talking on the cell phone f 8 to take the exit.” “The d9 is that the passenger is in the car and knows what the traffic conditions are like, and he helps the driver by reminding him,” says Strayer.
So, the next time you want to talk to your friend on the phone while you are driving, go pick them up instead and have the conversation in the car. Then you’re less l10 to cause an accident.

Too much sitting causes health problems
Are you always sitting in front of the computer for hours? Be careful! S 1 say this can cause serious health problems.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long p 2 , even if you also exercise r 3 , could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place —at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV.
The r 4 is just beginning, but several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more l 5 to be fat, have a heart attack or even die. “After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful s 6 ,”Ekblom-Bak, a health expert said. Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. An expert at the World Health O 7 said people who exercise every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefit if that exercise is spread across the day, rather than in a short period.
That wasn’t welcome news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a company and spends most of his days sitting in front of a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches Japanese martial art (柔道). “I’m sure there are some harmful e 8 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being active when I can helps,”he said.
Still, in a 9 research that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about ten years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, independently of（与---无关）whether or not they exercised. “We don’t have enough e 10 yet to say how much sitting is bad for you,”said Peter Katzmarzyk, who led the Canadian study. “But it seems the
more you can get up and interrupt this behavior, the better.”1.Scientists2. evidence3. regularly4. research5. likely6. signals7. Organization8. effects 9. another10. periods
Passage 11
Diet and Losing Weight
Now more and more people have already r 1 that fatness has become a serious problem and it will cause many kinds of d 2 . However, some people don’t give it due attention when they have put on too much weight, they get u 3 . The question is what they can do about it.
Some believe exercise can be h 4 , but the trouble with exercise is that it can make you want to eat more. You might sweat by playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.
Some people think that h 5 is the best way to help lose weight. They believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will become. They don’t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas without any bread or rice for a week or more.
A 6 , people may need a lot of bananas, but unless you live where they grow, they aren’t cheap. Another t 7 says that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat (瘦肉), which are hard for your stomach to d 8 , the more you eat, the thinner you’ll get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.
For most of us, these methods are not p 9 . A helpful way to lose weight is to carefully choose foods. What sort of food should you choose? The principle (原则) for choosing food is to try to cut down on carbohydrates（糖类，碳水化物）. That m 10 you shouldn’t eat bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, and rice while eating almost no fatty foods. It’s straight forward and often quite effective.

Passage 12
The source of solar energy
The sun is the source of solar energy. This source is unlimited and free. By using this freely
a 1 energy source, the earth’s non-renewable sources of energy can be preserved, helping the ecological system.
Solar energy is considered as a green f 2 . The important ozone layer (臭氧层) does not get a 3 by the use of solar energy. Solar electricity is very environmentally f 4 . It is clean and safe for the earth and human beings. T 5 , choosing solar energy to cut down the consumption of the conventional electricity is meanwhile helping to make the earth a better place.
Solar energy can be used in v 6 ways. Many p 7 that are being used today are solar waterheaters, solar batteries, solar cookers, solar calculators, solar buses, solar trams and cars, and even satellites are also seen to operate with the help of solar energy.
Solar power is very compatible (可共用的) with other sources of energy. An example of this is its compatibility with wind energy. This has proved to be very advantageous if you can use these two renewable energy sources of power to your advantage.
The solar electricity produced by a solar power unit in your home is silent and produces no noise p 8 . In summer when the days are longer, you can save up to 90 percent of your electricity bill by using solar power. In case you produce more electricity than you can use, you can sell it to the power corporation, or s 9 the power in solar cells and sell them locally. This can make considerable money for you.
Another unusual point to consider is the shade provided by the solar panels （太阳能板）installed on your roof. This shade can bring down the temperature of your attic (阁楼) during hot summer days.
In short, when you think about so many a 10 , solar energy is really a good choice. Questions:
1. According to the passage, what can we benefit from the solar energy?
2. How is the solar energy produced? 1. available 2. advantages
3. affected
4. friendly
5. Therefore
6. various

（一） 积极Sleep is not the same every night. We experience some deep sleep and some active sleep( 睡眠), which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking(梦游) would happen in active sleep, but a person isn't physically active d 86 active sleep. Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave(慢波)or deep sleep. Not all sleepwalkers a 87 walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they're awake when, in fact, they're asleep! Most, however, do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour. Sleepwalkers' e 88 are open, but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake and often think they're in different rooms of the house or different places altogether. Sleepwalkers tend(往往会) to go back to bed on their own and they won't r 89 it in the morning. Doctors say sleepwalking sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting e 90 sleep, or is stressed. If sleepwalking occurs frequently, every night or so, it's a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your doctor. But occasional(偶然的) sleepwalking generally isn't something to worry about, a 91 " it may look funny or even scary (惊恐的) for the people who see a sleepwalker in action. It's important, of course, that the person is kept safe. Precautions(预防措施) should be t 92 so the person is less likely to fall down, run into something, or walk out the front door while sleepwalking. （二） Everyone needs sleep. In fact, all living things need sleep. Having a sound and good rest m_____86_____ us healthy. It is believed that our brain develops best during sleep. It helps all our systems work well w_____87_____ we are awake. Sleep allows our brain to reorganize all events during the day and will improve our memory development.
