A series of small earthquakes have shaken central Nebraska and become the talk of the area.According to the information on a website, there have been several quakes since the 9th this month in the heart of the state, centered on the town Arnold, which is about 225 miles west of the capital Lincoln.The first, a 3.3-magnitude(震级) quake, happened early that morning, followed by three on the following day, another on Sunday, and then the most recent earthquake on Monday.The strongest quake was the first one that struck on the 10th, which reached a magnitude of 3.7.The earthquakes were found about three miles below the surface.There haven’t been any reports of human injury or damage of buildings caused by the quakes, according to KWBE, a radio station.

“It is just kind of strange,” Becky Dailey, treasurer of the Arnold Chamber of Commerce, told that station, adding that people around town are running around and talking about the quakes.Actually small quakes like these are not unusual.Just two minutes before Nebraska’s most recent earthquake, a separate one shook a city in the Dominican Republic, reaching a magnitude of 2.5.A couple of hours later, a 2.7-magnitude earthquake hit an area near Aguanga, in Southern California’s Riverside County.There were two more that day in different areas of Puerto Rico: a 2.9-magnitude quake and a 3.1-magnitude quake.Those were all small, but stronger quakes regularly rock the world—just not so often.

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks.This sudden release of energy causes the waves that make the ground shake.Two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing(摩擦) against each other.After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that is built up.When the rocks break, the earthquake happens.

28. What do we know about the quakes in Nebraska?

A. There were six quakes in all. B. They all happened within 24 hours.

C. They were centered on the capital Lincoln. D. The biggest one reached a magnitude of 4.0.

29. According to KWBE, which statement about the quakes in Nebraska is true?

A. The quakes caused many buildings to fall. B. The quakes caused damage to the crops.

C. The quakes were not felt by the locals. D. The quakes were not dangerous.

30. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A. That no human got injured in the quakes. B. That quakes happened there so frequently.

C. That an earthquake took place in the state. D. That people kept talking about the quakes.

31. What does the author want to show by mentioning the small quakes in Paragraph 2?

A. So many quakes happened on the 9th. B. Small quakes can be easier to find now.

C. No big earthquakes happened these days. D. Small quakes are actually very common.

D

Have you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarrethat U.K.drivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones.Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.

At first, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road.However, their way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels.For Medieval swordsmen (中世纪剑士) on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies.Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.

So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons(货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States.The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving.Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.

The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left.This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.

When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside.However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.

32. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Funny. B. Strange.

C. Wrong. D. Difficult.

33. Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?

A. It was safer to keep on the left. B. It was easier to carry goods.

C. It was easier for them to fight. D. It was necessary to control the horse.

34. What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?

A. Their sitting position. B. The road conditions.

C. The number of horses. D. The products in the wagons.

35. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

A. UK Drivers Still Go on the Left B. Why People Like Sitting on the Left Side

C. The History of Transportation Means D. The Reasons for Different Driving Sides

How to improve English pronunciation

It’s true that you do not have to sound exactly like a native English speaker.However, when you meet someone for the first time, a good pronunciation will help leave a good impression on him/her.Here are some tips on improving your English pronunciation.

   36  

You cannot correct your pronunciation when you don’t know the rules of it. So, start improving your pronunciation by first making yourself clear about the knowledge.

Watch while listening.

Find an article with recording.   37    In this way, you can learn the relationship between the spelling of a word and the sound, and what words sound like when they’re in a sentence together.

Have yourself recorded.

Hearing your own voice can be a strange experience.But it is a great way to improve your speech habits.If there’s a letter or word that you want to improve upon, record yourself saying it.  38   Find the differences and improve your way of pronunciation.

Add correct stress to words.

English is a stressed language.   39    You can hear this when you say a word out loud.For example, the word “introduce” is pronounced with a stress at the end, so it sounds like this: “in-tro-DUCE”．

Practice every day.

After learning how to say something correctly, you need to practice often.   40    With enough practice, you can get what sounds right too.

A. Learn the rules.

B. Write down what you hear.

C. Look at the words while listening to the recording.

D. Then compare it with the recordings of native speakers.

E. That means greater force is used in speaking some words.

F. There are some excellent recordings on English pronunciation.

G. For at least 30 minutes a day, repeat the correct way to pronounce the words.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Long ago, at the time of the ancient Greeks, a powerful king lived in a place called Turkey. The king’s name was Midas.

King Midas had everything that a ruler might want and was loved by his family, especially his beautiful daughter, Marigold. But there was one thing Midas loved more than Marigold, and that was gold.

Every day, Midas stacked (叠放) his gold coins in neat towers, counting his gold. Each day, Midas took the towers down, piece by piece. Then he built them back up again.

One morning, Midas was taking a break from counting his gold. He looked out a window and saw all the birds fly out of a tree in his garden. “What is scaring all those birds?” he asked his daughter.

He and Marigold went to the garden to find out. In the garden, Midas and Marigold met an old man who lost his way. After some questions, Midas said, “I know your friend’s house and I’ll take you there. But first, come to my palace and share a meal with us!”

Midas treated the old man like a brother. The old man enjoyed a great dinner, and later slept in the king’s best guest room. The next morning, Midas took the old man to his friend’s house.

His friend, who happened to be a god, was happy to see his lost friend and wanted to thank Midas for his help. “Let me give you a reward for taking care of my friend,” said the god. “Tell me your greatest wish, and I will make the wish come true.”

Midas answered right away. “I want everything I touch to turn into gold!” said Midas.

“Are you sure you want that power?” the god asked.

“Oh yes, I’m sure,” Midas said. “Who wouldn’t want that?”

The god looked worried for just a moment. Then he said, “All right, I’ll give you your wish. So Midas’s wish came true. From that moment, everything that he touched with his hands turned to gold.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

On his way home, Midas skipped (跳跃) like a little boy because he was so happy to have the power.

A few days later, Midas found the god again and cried to him.

On his way home,Midas skipped like a little boy because he was so happy.He picked up a stone and it was changed into gold by the touch of his hand!He touched trees,bushes,and even the walls of his palace when he got there.Everything turned to gold !Midas laughed and shouted,"I'm the richest man on Earth!"Meanwhile, Midas picked up a bunch of grapes to eat,but they turned to gold.“How will I eat?"he thought."I can't eat gold!"At that moment,his daughter came in and threw her arms around him but was instantly turned into gold too!

Paragraph 2:

A few days later,Midas found the god again and cried to him."Everything turned into gold ,including my daughter .What a fool I was!"Midas cried loud.He now knew that gold was not the most important thing in his life.He wished with all his heart to enjoy a normal life.He wished with all his soul to have his daughter back."My friend,go to the river and wash your hands,"the god said.Midas went to the river.When he returned to his palace,everything was back to what it was before and Marigold was waiting for him.King Midas hugged his daughter.From that day on,he counted only his blessings,and not his gold.
