Luke says, “At first I was shocked that somebody would do such a thing, but then I saw Jenifer’s       and knew that I had to do something. I jumped up and started chasing him down the street and calling‘Thief,  stop !’but nobody seemed       in stopping him. They were too busy staring, like it was a    or something. Luckily, I play soccer for the school team, so I’ve been training all year and I’m in pretty good shape, so I       to catch up with him on Third Avenue and knocked him down. Once he was on the     I sat on top of him and waited for the police to come. I know that people say you shouldn’t do that kind of thing,       you never know what the person can do to you, but I didn’t think about that at the time. I was too   ”
However, Jennifer is not the only one who’s grateful for Luke’s bravery. After police had arrested(送簽捕) the thief, they      his apartment and found over a hundred stolen cell phones and, perhaps more   , an address book full of names of various criminal contacts(犯罪聯(lián)絡)， most of whom have now been brought in for     as police try to break a growing ring of cell phone criminals.
Cell phone theft(盜竊)is only one of a number of technology – related crimes that police say are on the rise. Businesspeople have been told to be extra   with their notebook computers, which are an easy target(目標) for criminals, and new police apartments are being set up to     crimes. In the last week alone, the New York Police Department has    over six hundred calls from people relating to one of the above crimes.
Thanks to Luke’s bravery and quick thinking, Jennifer didn’t     one of those victims (受害者) , and she knows       she’s going to thank Luke - by taking him for another meal at the same Indian restaurant. This time, however, she’s going to keep her cell phone in her purse.

試題分析：短文大意：本文講述了Duke和好友Jennifer 在一家餐館吃飯，Jennifer手機被偷，Duke毫不猶豫英勇擒賊，最終將賊抓獲，送交警察，警察在搜小偷家時發(fā)現(xiàn)更重要的犯罪信息，從而提醒市民，尤其是商人要如何預防手機犯罪和相關(guān)科技犯罪的思考。
小題1:考查名詞及語境理解。句意：但那時我看見珍妮弗的臉，就知道我必須做些什么。purse錢包； phone電話； head腦袋；face臉。根據(jù)后文“and knew that I had to do something. I jumped up and started chasing him down the street and calling‘Thief,  stop !’可知Duke是從Jenifer的面部表情判斷有一個小偷拿了她的東西，然后開始追小偷。因此選擇 D.
小題2:考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：但似乎沒有人對阻止他感興趣。pleased高興的； frightened 害怕的； interested有趣的； excited興奮的。根據(jù)but這一轉(zhuǎn)折詞和后文“They were too busy staring,” 可知大家對Duke追賊一事的態(tài)度是：沒興趣幫忙阻止小偷，而是圍觀，因此選擇 C.
小題3:考查名詞及語境理解。句意：像是一部電影或什么。game游戲； movie 電影； story故事； joke笑話。根據(jù)前文“They were too busy staring,”大家都盯著Duke抓小偷，而不幫忙，就像在看……或者什么其他東西一樣 like it was a    or something”，這里只有電影最合適，這是抓賊的場景，不是游戲，故事和笑話，這個場景是動態(tài)的，像電影一樣最符合邏輯，因此選擇 B.
小題4:考查動詞及語境理解。managed 經(jīng)營； tried努力，嘗試； hoped希望； meant意思是。從前文“Luckily, I play soccer for the school team, so I’ve been training all year and I’m in pretty good shape,” 幸運的是，作者在校足球隊受訓整整一年，因此練就了一副好身材，由這些作鋪墊，文章第三段講了這起成功的抓賊事件給警察帶來的益處，所以賊肯定是成功抓獲了，因此選擇 A.
小題5:考查名詞及語境理解。句意：有一次他在地上，我坐在他身上等待警察要來。floor地板； grass草； ground地面； bed床。根據(jù)常識判斷，Duke肯定是將賊打到在地，故選 C.
小題6:考查連詞及語境理解。句意：我知道人們說你不應該做那種事情，因為你永遠不知道什么人會對你做什么，但我當時沒想。because因為；so所以； if 如果；although盡管。由句意“我知道人們會說你不應該做那樣的事情，你絕對不會知道那個人會對你做什么，”這兩句是因果關(guān)系。故選A.
小題7:考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：我太氣憤。nervous緊張的； sad悲傷的；brave勇敢的；angry生氣的。Duke看到好友被搶，可推斷他的情緒應該是憤怒，故選D.
小題8:考查動詞及語境理解。句意：他們搜查了他的公寓，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一百多部被偷的手機。broke損壞； searched搜查；sold出售； discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)。警察逮捕了小偷后，根據(jù)常理判斷，應該是搜查他的公寓。因此選擇 B.
小題9:考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：也許更重要。important重要的；common普通的； similar相似的；dangerous危險的。根據(jù)后文: “an address book full of names of various criminal contacts(犯罪聯(lián)絡),后來找到了一本寫有犯罪聯(lián)絡人的名字，比之前找到的超過100部手機，更有價值，所以更重要，故選A.
小題10:考查動詞及語境理解。句意：他們中的大部分都被帶去問話，警察試圖突破電話犯罪的增長。questioning問； testing測驗；pretending假裝；stealing偷。由前后文義可知這些犯罪聯(lián)絡人被帶去警句問話，故選 A.
小題11:考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：已經(jīng)告知商人要特別小心他們的筆記本電腦。serious嚴肅的； safe安全的； patient有耐心的； careful仔細的。由前文警察說關(guān)于手機盜竊和有關(guān)科技犯罪案件正在上升，所以商人對他們的筆記本應該格外小心才是，故選 D.
小題12:考查動詞短語及語境理解。句意：警局正在建立新的部門來處理這些犯罪行為。care for關(guān)注； deal with處理； think about考慮；.belong to屬于。故選 B.
小題13:考查動詞及語境理解。句意：僅在上周，紐約警方已接到人們關(guān)于以上犯罪打來的六百多個電話。made制造；checked檢查； received接受； refused拒絕。因此選擇C.
小題14:考查動詞及語境理解。句意：珍妮佛不會成為一個受害者。trouble麻煩；offer提供； become變成； believe相信。根據(jù)前文多虧了Duke的英勇和敏捷的思考，Jennifer沒有變成受害者，故選 C.
小題15:考查疑問詞及語境理解。句意：她知道她要怎樣感謝盧克-通過帶他到同一家印度餐廳再吃一頓飯。why為什么；. how 怎么；when何時； whether是否。由后文 “by taking him for another meal at the same”通過這種方式來感謝，因此答案 B.

Once there was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will take care of you.” But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, ”the child continued,”if I don’t know the language that men talk? ”
God patted (輕怕)him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.Your angel will teach you how to speak. ”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
But God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray(祈禱). ”
“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me? ”
“Your angel will defend(保衛(wèi))you even if it means risking her life! ”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more, ”the child continued warily.
God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you how to come back to me, even though I will always be with you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, “God, please tell me my angel’s name.”

You’re on the school bus. But as soon as you turn the corner, you find yourself at the end of a very long queue. It’s another traffic jam! It is stop-start for the rest of your journey. Meanwhile, at the same time in Antarctica(南極洲), snow covers the land. A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm, using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection?
Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, that’s according to new research by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marina Research in Germany. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(流動) through the whole group of penguins like a “traveling wave”.
These waves also help smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic “traffic jam” has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. This included studying time-lapse(延時) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually dropping below –50℃, and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In big groups, they learn to be orderly and patient, and to never crash into each other. These are skills we should all learn from them when we are on the road!
小題1:Emperor penguins get together to _____.
A．keep warmB．play gamesC．learn from each otherD．cross the road
小題2:In a traffic jam on the road, __________.
A．drivers can drive fastB．drivers can drive carelessly
C．cars are not moving fastD．cars will stop working
小題3:From the passage, we learn that a “traveling wave” _____.
A．is caused by a traffic jam on the road
B．is caused by the strong wind in Antarctica
C．is formed by the movement of the penguins
D．is made by just one or two penguins
小題4:If a penguin is in a group, it _____.
A．needs to move orderlyB．can move as fast as it likes
C．will not leave others behindD．should move as slowly as it can
小題5:The last paragraph wants to tell us that _____.
A．penguins won’t move together if it is not very cold
B．traffic jams happen probably because people are impatient
C．penguins learn their skills from human beings
D．penguins are likely to crash into each other in a group

This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(擲) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳過) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.  
小題1:The task I received was to find information about ________.
A．uses for peanutsB．American War of Independence
C．George WashingtonD．my headmaster Miss Lancelot
小題2:________ helped me decide what my report would be about.
A．The InternetB．My classmatesC．My grandpaD．A coin
小題3:People in the class acted strangely because ________.
A．I was too proud of my homework

C．the whole world suddenly became quiet
D．the teacher’s face turned to a stone
小題4:I ________ after I failed the subject.
A．worked harder to prove my ability
B．started to study from the 7th grade
C．was so frightened at the awful result
D．was given a second chance to redo the work
小題5:We can infer(推斷) from the passage that ________.
A．the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all
B．the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake
C．the writer knew little about American history

The film of this week is Life of Pi. Pi has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, they get on a Japanese ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a tiger.
Soon, there’s only Pi and the tiger. They spend 227 days in the Pacific Ocean. Pi’s fear, knowledge, and wisdom keep him alive. Finally, they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle. The Japanese who question Pi don’t believe his story, so he tells a second one --- more normal, less interesting.
