The Fish I didn't Catch
I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been　　many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely sothan when I received that first fishing   　　 from my uncle.
My uncle, who knew by long   　　where pickerel（梭鱼）would gather, 　　placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite, 　　the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float 　　out of sight. "Now for it," thought I; "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle 　　．"Try once more," hesaid；"we fishermen must have　  
Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling in the sun. "Uncle！”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable 　　 , "I've got a fish!”"Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung 　　 from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the 　　 of childhood as matters of little importance 　　 those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups 　　 the social customs and rules of conduct 　　the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world 　　 with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be 　　，even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.
"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of（自夸）anything before it's done, nor then, either, 　　it speaks for itself."
How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch 　　！When I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that 　　by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of 　　application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (KABC)一A Santa Monica High School teacher who was put on
leave after using physical force to control a student who was selling marijuana（大麻）in his classroom has received surprising support on Facebook. The incident was captured on video and has caused a sudden reaction from parents, teachers, students and even graduates. They are showing their support for Black. A Facebook page supporting "Coach Black" has over 4,700 likes. And many want him back in the classroom.
Student witnesses say Mark Black, who is also the wrestling coach, tried to confiscate（没收）a bag of marijuana and was then injured by the student with a pencil. The cellphone video shows Black locking the student's legs and pinning the student to the ground. "He just wanted him to stop and he was trying to be a teacher and help, and I don't think it was his fault." said student Kylan Townsend.
School Board member Oscar De La Tone says Mr. Black is one of his teachers at Santa Monica High School. "I know him very well. I know him to be a fair person, a good person, someone who cares deeply about his students," said De La Torre. He says that the video does not tell the whole story and that the incident brings to light the issue of drug use, something the district needs to address.
But in an email to parents, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Sandra Lyon says the teacher's behavior is "absolutely alarming." She put Black on leave during an independent investigation.
Lyon has come under fire from parents for initially saying the kind of physical action used by the teacher was unacceptable. On Saturday, Lyon released the following statement to Eyewitness News: "I want to stress that teachers are at times confronted with difficult, even threatening situations, and they must make judgment calls to protect safety. I want to emphasize that putting the teacher who was involved in this incident on leave until completion of an independent investigation is a matter of standard policy and practice; it in no way prejudices the outcome of the investigation."
Students hope the situation will have a quick and just resolution. An online petition（请原书) pas also peen createu by one of Black's former students. The petition has already gained thousands of signatures.Black did not respond to a request for comment.
What does the cellphone video on Facebook disclose?

In the fifth paragraph, the underlined word "it" refers to＿＿．

From the passage, we can infer that＿＿

Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

  Nothing gets the heart racing like a new roller coaster, and theme parks keep building them higher, faster and, well, just cooler than ever before. Here are five hot new coasters opening for the 2014 summer season.



Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Which roller coaster is most likely to attract people who like adventure and excitement?

We can learn from the passage that

The evolution of the first animals may have oxygenated（供氧）Earth's oceans. New research
led by the University of Exeter challenges the long held belief that oxygenation of the atmosphere and oceans was a precondition for the evolution of complex life forms.
The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, builds on the recent work of scientists in Denmark who found that sponges（海绵动物）一the first animals to evolve一require only small amounts of oxygen.
Professor Tim Lenton of the University of Exeter, who led the new study, said: "We argue that the evolution of the first animals could have played a key role in the widespread oxygenation of the deep oceans. This in turn may have facilitated the evolution of more complex, mobile animals."
Critical to determining oxygen levels in the deep ocean is the balance of oxygen supply and demand. Demand for oxygen is created by the sinking of dead organic material into the deep ocean. The new study argues that the first animals reduced this supply of organic matter一both directly and indirectly.
Sponges feed by pumping water through their bodies, "digesting" the tiny particles of organic matter, and thus helping oxygenate the shelf seas that they live in. By oxygenating more of the bottom waters, the first animals actually increased the removal of the essential nutrient phosphorus（磷）in the ocean. This in turn reduced the productivity of the whole ocean ecosystem, lowering oxygen demand and thus oxygenating the deep ocean.
A more oxygen-rich ocean created ideal conditions for more complex mobile animals to evolve, because they have a higher requirement for oxygen. These included the first predatory（肉食的）animals with guts（内脏）that started to eat one another, marking the beginning of the type of food webs we are familiar with today.
Professor Simon Poulton of the University of Leeds, who is a co-author of the study, added: "This study provides a possible mechanism for ocean oxygenation without the requirement for a rise in atmospheric oxygen. It therefore questions whether the long-standing belief that there was a major rise in atmospheric oxygen at this time is correct. We simply don't know the answer to this at present, which is ultimately key to understanding how our planet evolved to its current habitable state. Geochemists need to come up with new ways to explain oxygen levels on the early Earth."
The underlined word "facilitated" in Para. 3 is closest in meaning to＿＿．

From paragraphs 4 to 6, we can infer that＿＿．

From the last paragraph, we can learn Pro. Simon Poulton believes that＿＿．

The main purpose of the passage is to＿＿．

Minnie's flat, as the one-floor resident apartments were then being called, was in a part of West Van Buren Street inhabited by families of laborers and clerks, men who had come, and were still coming, with the rush of population pouring in at the rate of 50,000 a year. It was on the third floor, the front windows looking down into the street, where, at night, the lights of grocery stores were shining and children were playing. To Carrie, the sound of the little bells upon the horse-cars, as they tinkled in and out of hearing, was as pleasing as it was novel. She
gazed into the lighted street when Minnie brought her into the front room, and wondered at the sounds, the movement, the murmur of the vast city which stretched for miles and miles in everydirection.
Mrs. Hanson, after the first greetings were over, gave Carrie the baby and proceeded to get supper. Her husband asked a few questions and sat down to read the evening paper. He was a silent man, American born, of a Swede father, and now employed as a cleaner of refrigerator cars at the stock-yards. To him the presence or absence of his wife's sister was a matter of indifference. Her personal appearance did not affect him one way or the other. His one
observation to the point was concerning the chances of work in Chicago.
"It's a big place," he said. "You can get in somewhere in a few days. Everybody does."
It had been understood beforehand that she was to get work and pay her board. He was of a clean, saving character, and had already paid a number of monthly installments(分期付款）on two pieces of land far out on the West Side. His ambition was some day to build a house on them.
In the interval which marked the preparation of the meal Carrie found time to study the flat. She had some slight gift of observation and that sense, so rich in every woman-intuition.
She felt the drag of a lean and narrow life. The walls of the rooms were improperly papered. The floors were covered with matting and the hall laid with a thin rag carpet. One could see that the furniture was of that poor, hurriedly patched together quality sold by the installment houses.
She sat with Minnie, in the kitchen, holding the baby until it began to cry. Then she walked and sang to it, until Hanson, disturbed in his reading, came and took it. A pleasant side to his nature came out here. He was patient. One could see that he paid enough attention to his baby.
"Now, now," he said, walking. "There, there," and there was a certain Swedish accent
noticeable in his voice.
"You'll want to see the city first, won't you?" said Minnie, when they were eating. "Well, we'll go out Sunday and see Lincoln Park.
Carrie noticed that Hanson had said nothing to this. He seemed to be thinking of something else.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll look around tomorrow. I've got Friday and Saturday, and it won't be any trouble. Which way is the business part?"
Minnie began to explain, but her husband took this part of the conversation to himself.
"It's that way," he said, pointing east. "That's east." Then he went off into the longest speech he had yet taken part in, concerning the lay of Chicago. "You'd better look in those big manufacturing houses along Franklin Street and just the other side of the river," he concluded. "Lots of girls work there. You could get home easy, too. It isn't very far."
Carrie nodded and asked her sister about the neighborhood. The latter talked in a soft tone, telling the little she knew about it, while Hanson concerned himself with the baby. Finally he jumped up and handed the child to his wife.
The first paragraph mainly describes＿＿

From the passage we can learn that Mr. Hanson＿＿·

Which of the following shows the right order of the events in the story?

Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and socialsensibilities? For most people, it's just wishful thinking because there's no evidence that people
are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.
But just hold on a second there. Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie
Murphy Paul. She argues in Time magazine that "deep reading", as opposed to browsing webpages, makes us nicer and smarter.
Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.
One is based in Canada. Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fictionappear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the worldfrom their perspective.
But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn't just about
understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains. Deep reading is "slow, devoted, rich insensory detail and emotional and moral complexity". Through processing details, comparisons, and other literary devices, the reader's brain creates a mental representation as if the scene wereunfolding in real life. “It's said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer. Paul cites another
study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa, who found that whenreaders are enjoying the experience most, the pace of their reading slows.
The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on thepage gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memoriesand opinions. It's as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, likepeople falling in love. None of this is possible when we browse web pages. We will eventually lose the ability toappreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can beunderstood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them. And even some educators just
meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.
With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warns, deep reading has become anendangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up abook, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.

Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair. Honesty is a good virtue. If you are honestall the time, you'll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon andregarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you lie, people will never believe youeven if you speak the truth.
However, nowadays it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice ofhonesty. To them, among such things as health, beauty, money, intelligence, honesty, reputationand talent, honesty is the only thing that can be thrown away. They don't understand or pretendnot to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune for humans,.and that it is necessary to doeverything well.
In short, honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation will become great; dishonest, your namewill be spoiled: Therefore, we should never make such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only aslight thing." We should remove immediately the seed of dishonesty once it's sowed in ourminds.
