One of the school days that I remember the best was my first day of school.Being a first grader seemed exciting to me then.I was to study in an allgirls school.My mother sent me to the front door of the classroom before leaving.“I have something to do”， she said.I didn't mind.I didn't want to appear too childish.
The classroom held about forty students with room to spare.We sat in groups with the same number of girls in each group.I chose a seat and sat there while waiting for other girls to arrive.It didn't take that long and the other tables were soon full.There wasn't much chatting going on though, it seemed like my classmates were still shy.Who could blame them? It was a truly new environment for us.The girls in my group were also shy and most of them were looking down.Finally, a girl sitting in front of me broke the silence—she introduced herself as Amanda.She then burst out telling us about her family.The four other girls paid attention to what she said with an occasional nod at times.
I lost what she said a few minutes after that.The next thing I knew, she was already talking about her cat.“Do you know its name？” she asked me.I was a little surprised at the sudden question.I thought about it for a while, and then finally answered, “I don't know.It could be anything.” The question was repeated on the other girls but with the same results.Amanda smiled proudly.She was happy that nobody could guess her cat's name.

Here's something you don't see every day—a runaway horse and zebra on the street of Staten Island.The two escaped from a petting zoo, where they had perhaps got tired of too many unpleasant children before running away.
When they were running in the Travis neighborhood on Wednesday morning, they were filmed (拍摄) by Zachary Osher.He is the owner of Metropolitan Drape and Blind.Osher shared his video with the Staten Island Advocate.
The witness watched the unusual event accidently，first spotting the odd couple out the window of his store at 9：20 a．m.He ran outside with his phone to get a picture.He told Yahoo News on the phone, “The horse was leading the zebra.Everywhere the horse would turn, the zebra would follow.” Osher was amazed at the sight, saying, “I couldn't figure out what it was—a zebra.A horse maybe, but a zebra? Where did the zebra come from？” He added that he only learned later from reporters that a petting zoo was nearby.
The pair ran around in the parking lot, running back toward Osher, which was when he got his chance to film them with his digital camera.Osher added that he tried to stop them so they wouldn't run into the street, but they did so anyway, and narrowly missed being hit by a car.Far behind them were two men in blue jump suits and hats and they were trying to get them.
The story ends with the safe capture of the two escapees, who were returned to the petting zoo up the street, according to the New York Times.Undoubtedly，the two fleetfooted troublemakers are planning their next adventure.

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites.Many of our TV programmes come to US through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometres above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometres an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the earth.Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth.A satellite usually works for about 10～12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the Earth to be repaired.Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇科普说明文。文章对各种卫星的用途、卫星工作的状态以及人们对已损坏卫星的处理办法进行了解释说明。
12．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?
A．Sending information for weather forecasts.
B．Taking photographs of the Earth.
C．Sending TV pictures.
D．Providing food for airplane pilots.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段和第三段首句不难看出，卫星可以传递天气预报信息、拍摄地球照片、传递电视图片等，但是没说为飞行员提供食物，所以选择D项。
【答案】 D
13．Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?
A．In order to take photographs.
B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.
C．In order to move away from its orbit.
D．In order to send television pictures.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可以看出，卫星之所以用和地球自转相同的速度绕地球旋转，是为了保持在一定位置上。显然B项正确。
【答案】 B
14．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
A．A satellite.
B．A little rocket.
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.

A．A satellite usually works for about 10～12 years.
B．Every time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.
C．A broken satellite is never left in space.
D．Broken satellites often crash into each other.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段不难看出A项正确。B项错在Every time；C项错在never；D项错在often，最后一句．..they can crash into each other.中，can“可能”在此表示对客观情况的推测，不是事实。
【答案】 A

Here's something you don't see every day—a runaway horse and zebra on the street of Staten Island.The two escaped from a petting zoo, where they had perhaps got tired of too many unpleasant children before running away.
When they were running in the Travis neighborhood on Wednesday morning, they were filmed (拍摄) by Zachary Osher.He is the owner of Metropolitan Drape and Blind.Osher shared his video with the Staten Island Advocate.
The witness watched the unusual event accidently，first spotting the odd couple out the window of his store at 9：20 a．m.He ran outside with his phone to get a picture.He told Yahoo News on the phone, “The horse was leading the zebra.Everywhere the horse would turn, the zebra would follow.” Osher was amazed at the sight, saying, “I couldn't figure out what it was—a zebra.A horse maybe, but a zebra? Where did the zebra come from？” He added that he only learned later from reporters that a petting zoo was nearby.
The pair ran around in the parking lot, running back toward Osher, which was when he got his chance to film them with his digital camera.Osher added that he tried to stop them so they wouldn't run into the street, but they did so anyway, and narrowly missed being hit by a car.Far behind them were two men in blue jump suits and hats and they were trying to get them.
The story ends with the safe capture of the two escapees, who were returned to the petting zoo up the street, according to the New York Times.Undoubtedly，the two fleetfooted troublemakers are planning their next adventure.

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites.Many of our TV programmes come to US through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometres above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometres an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the earth.Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth.A satellite usually works for about 10～12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the Earth to be repaired.Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
