Adam was an orphan. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer came and said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Adam took the huge package of notes, he was very shocked. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend so much of it. Later he thought to himself, “What could I do with it? If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for the first and too little for the second.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”
“Yes I see. I’ll do that.” said the young man.

Publishers of books for beginning readers are in the business of doing whatever they can to make children develop a love of reading. At times, that means they'll produce books that are more colorful and more packed with pictures. But it turns out that when it comes to learning to read books, more pictures aren't always better.
In fact, simply having more than one picture on a page can negatively(消极地) affect the ability of preschoolers to learn words from that page, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Sussex. “Storybook reading is a great activity to help children increase their vocabularies,” writes co-author Zoe M. Flack in the University's School of Psychology blog.
But the illustrations(插图) can affect how well children will learn new words. “For example,” Flack writes, “We know that children learn words better if illustrations are realistic.” Also, studies have shown that adding bells and whistles(哨声) to storybooks may negatively affect learning, according to Jessica S. Horst, Flack's co-author for the study. “We also know that children look within illustrations for the things they hear in the story, so if the story mentions a girl dropping an ice cream, children will look at the ice cream in the illustration.”
With that in mind, Dr. Horst and Ms. Flack began to wonder what would happen when picture books show many illustrations on a page and how young children who haven't yet learned to read know which illustration to look at while listening to a story. To find out, they read storybooks that displayed either one or two illustrations per page to 36 three-year-old children. As it turns out, children who listened to stories with only one illustration at a time learned twice as many words as children who listened with two or more illustrations.
8. Why do publishers produce books with many colorful pictures?
A. Because such books help kids improve their imagination.
B. Because parents are more interested in such books.
C. Because they want to help kids love reading.
D. Because such books are easier to produce.
9. What does Zoe M. Flack say about storybook reading?
A. It helps kids learn new words.
B. Illustrations aren't that necessary.
C. More words should be added to a story.
D. It helps kids improve their reading ability.
10. What did the researchers find through their research?
A. Reading is a very important activity.
B. One page should have only one illustration for kids.
C. Children know what books they should read
D. Children don't really love looking at illustrations.
11. According to the passage, the findings can help publishers____________.
A. choose better stories for children
B. produce more types of storybooks
C. Produce better books for little kids
D. Make more money through producing books
D
The moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you’re barely moving at all. That’s what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere (半球) saw high temperatures in July.
The Arctic Circle was no exception. Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32℃, the Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10℃ at this time of the year.
The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. Actually, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect (极地放大效应）.
The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk, the Toronto Star reported. Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu(图瓦卢)in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives(马尔代夫)in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea.
12. What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The heat wave in the Arctic. B. The result of global warming.
C. Getting warmer in the world. D. The Arctic getting warm faster.
13. What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?
A. Sea levels rise in the long term.
B. The polar will become dangerous.
C. There will be an end of water shortage.
D. There will be no ice in the world by 2040.
14. What may happen to the Arctic animals?
A. They’ll not disappear in the future. B. They’ll live on the land.
C. They’ll gradually have no habitat. D. They’ll shrink.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Arctic animals are in danger.
B. Heat is hitting the Arctic.
C. The world is getting warmer than before.
D. Some countries may disappear into the sea.

Publishers of books for beginning readers are in the business of doing whatever they can to make children develop a love of reading. At times, that means they'll produce books that are more colorful and more packed with pictures. But it turns out that when it comes to learning to read books, more pictures aren't always better.
In fact, simply having more than one picture on a page can negatively(消极地) affect the ability of preschoolers to learn words from that page, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Sussex. “Storybook reading is a great activity to help children increase their vocabularies,” writes co-author Zoe M. Flack in the University's School of Psychology blog.
But the illustrations(插图) can affect how well children will learn new words. “For example,” Flack writes, “We know that children learn words better if illustrations are realistic.” Also, studies have shown that adding bells and whistles(哨声) to storybooks may negatively affect learning, according to Jessica S. Horst, Flack's co-author for the study. “We also know that children look within illustrations for the things they hear in the story, so if the story mentions a girl dropping an ice cream, children will look at the ice cream in the illustration.”
With that in mind, Dr. Horst and Ms. Flack began to wonder what would happen when picture books show many illustrations on a page and how young children who haven't yet learned to read know which illustration to look at while listening to a story. To find out, they read storybooks that displayed either one or two illustrations per page to 36 three-year-old children. As it turns out, children who listened to stories with only one illustration at a time learned twice as many words as children who listened with two or more illustrations.
8. Why do publishers produce books with many colorful pictures?
A. Because such books help kids improve their imagination.
B. Because parents are more interested in such books.
C. Because they want to help kids love reading.
D. Because such books are easier to produce.
9. What does Zoe M. Flack say about storybook reading?
A. It helps kids learn new words.
B. Illustrations aren't that necessary.
C. More words should be added to a story.
D. It helps kids improve their reading ability.
10. What did the researchers find through their research?
A. Reading is a very important activity.
B. One page should have only one illustration for kids.
C. Children know what books they should read
D. Children don't really love looking at illustrations.
11. According to the passage, the findings can help publishers____________.
A. choose better stories for children
B. produce more types of storybooks
C. Produce better books for little kids
D. Make more money through producing books

The moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you’re barely moving at all. That’s what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere (半球) saw high temperatures in July.
The Arctic Circle was no exception. Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32℃, the Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10℃ at this time of the year.
The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. Actually, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect (极地放大效应）.
The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk, the Toronto Star reported. Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu(图瓦卢)in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives(马尔代夫)in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea.
12. What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The heat wave in the Arctic. B. The result of global warming.
C. Getting warmer in the world. D. The Arctic getting warm faster.
13. What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?
A. Sea levels rise in the long term.
B. The polar will become dangerous.
C. There will be an end of water shortage.
D. There will be no ice in the world by 2040.
14. What may happen to the Arctic animals?
A. They’ll not disappear in the future. B. They’ll live on the land.
C. They’ll gradually have no habitat. D. They’ll shrink.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Arctic animals are in danger.
B. Heat is hitting the Arctic.
C. The world is getting warmer than before.
D. Some countries may disappear into the sea.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
