One morning, Wu Li discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school—Baita Secondary School. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Yong, the principal of the school.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only about 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Mr Zhang.
小題1:After the new classroom arrangement it was easier for Wu Li and her classmates to ______ in class.
A．discuss with each otherB．sit in the classroom
C．push desks togetherD．teach a lesson
小題2:The school made the reform to provide students with _______ to study.
A．noisier classesB．easier waysC．more seatsD．fewer chances
小題3:The Chinese meaning of the word “effectively” in this passage is _________.
A．簡單地B．明確地C．有效地D．認真地
小題4:The teachers __________ after the reform.
A．have to find better ways to teach
B．find it easier to teach
C．spend 45 minutes explaining to the students
D．a(chǎn)re happy to explain for only 15 minutes
小題5:The best title of this passage may be “________”.
A．Students’ FriendshipB．Teachers’ Hope
C．Discussion in ClassD．New Look in Class

It may seem easy to say that plants and animals are different. Any child can tell the difference between  a tree and a dog. But those differences are far deeper than just what they look like. The cells (細胞) that plants are made up of are different. In other words, the cell wall of plants has something special.

First of all, it's important to find that not all plant cells have a cell wall. Besides, there are many differences of a cell wall based on the kinds of plant. The following is meant to be what a plant cell wall is  like.
The cell wall of a plant is on the outside of the cell membrane (膜). It is usually hard and cannot be bent easily, but the degree of flexibility (韌性) of the cell wall is different. It is based on the special use that the cell has in keeping the plant alive. Cells that make up the trunk of a tree are clearly less flexible than  cells on a leaf.
Cell walls act in many ways. They serve to protect the plant. They provide support, as well as help in the movement of chemicals and wastes into and out of the cell.  More importantly, they control the water  that goes in and out.  Plants must have good water controlling systems (系統(tǒng)), allowing them to keep water during dry seasons, and get rid of unnecessary water. Plants can't walk around to find water, so  being able to control water is very important.
So there you have it , what a plant cell wall is. Of course, there are many other things that are not talked about here. Knowing more about plant cell wails requires further study and research.
小題1:From the first two paragraphs we can find that _____.
A．a(chǎn)ll plants have a ceil wall
B．plant cells and animal cells are the same
C．different kinds of plant have different cell walls
D．there are no differences between the cells of a tree and a dog
小題2:The underlined word "bent" in the passage is the closest in meaning to _____.
A．變形的B．防水的C．太陽灼傷的D．表皮破損的
小題3:Cells in the trunk of a tree are _____ those on a leaf.
A．a(chǎn)s flexible asB．not so flexible as
C．more important thanD．less important than
小題4:What is the most important use of a plant cell wall?
A．To protect the plant.B．To provide support.
C．To move chemicals and wastes.D．To control the water.

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue,  you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
小題1:The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.
A．a(chǎn) red box is heavier than a white one
B．a(chǎn) color has weight in one’s mind
C．white paper is lighter than red paper
D．you can know the weight of a color by holding it
小題2:Why did the scientist say colors have smell?
A．Because people can sense the light from colors.
B．Because we can smell colors with our nose.
C．Because every color has its own sweet smell.
D．Because every color can give off light of the same length.
小題3:It can be implied from the text that ___________.
A．colors have orders in weight
B．colors can change the weight of an object
C．people would stay longer in a room with red windows
D．colors can affect our mood and health
小題4:This passage is probably a ___________.
A．book reviewB．fiction novelC．fairy taleD．science report

Yesterday and Today
Life in the twenty-first century will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.
