A middle-aged man with a long beard was caught by the police for bad behavior and property damage. The man, Bill Wild, checked into a hotel last night, telling the clerk he would pay cash in advance and would be staying for four nights. He then asked her where the nearest store was and she told him it was John-Johns.

Wild went to the store and bought three gallons of honey and four gallons of chocolate syrup (糖漿). The cashier asked him why he wanted these things and he replied, "I’m trying to become a sweeter person." The cashier smiled at the joke. Wild drove back to the hotel. He opened all bottles and poured them into the bathtub (浴缸). He added warm water to the mix. He tuned the radio to an opera music station, took off his clothes, jumped into the tub, and started singing loudly with the music.

Fifteen minutes later, the neighbor phoned the clerk complaining about the noise. The clerk knocked on Wild’s door, but he just kept singing. She phoned his room, but he didn’t answer. Then she called the police, who arrived quickly. They broke into the room. The floor was covered in water and the bathtub was full of chocolate and honey. "He seemed so nice and friendly. Who’d have thought he was a bathtub-singing nut?" said the clerk. The police said this was the third time that Wild had been arrested for this kind of behavior.

When I was a child, I hope to live in the city. I thought I would be happy there. Now I am living in a city, but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunate, as industrialization develops, the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been shown that global warming has already become a seriously problem. The airs we breathe in is getting dirtier and dirtier. Much rare animals are dying out. They must found ways to protect our environment. If we fail to do so, we’ll live to regret it.

閱讀下列短文，從每小題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There a school teacher asked his name.

“J.C.,” he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse”, so he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet, Ovens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Ovens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic（體育運動的）but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.

“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”

Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored（給予榮譽）by the United States until 1976, four year before his death.

Ovens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.

“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”

In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

1.Ovens got his other name “Jesse” when ________.

A. he went to Ohio State University

B. his teacher made fun of him

C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”

D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet

2.In the Big Ten meet, Ovens ________.

A. hurt himself in the back

B. succeeded in setting many records

C. tried every sports event but failed

D. had to give up some events

3.When Ovens said “They have kept me alive over the years” in the last paragraph, he means that the medals ________.

A. have been changed for money to help him live on

B. have made him famous in the US

C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life

D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Jesse Ovens ― a great American sportsman

B. Golden moment ― a lifetime memory

C. Making a living as a sportsman

D. Why was Jesse Ovens successful?

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays（光線）left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.

Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”

1.If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that _____.

A. you can hear the gun before you see the smoke.

B. sound does not travel as fast as light.

C. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun.

D. sound travels about a million times faster than light.

2.Sunlight clearly _____ than the light of the moon.

A. has to travel a greater distance

B. moves less quickly

B. travels much more quickly

D. is less powerful

3.What does “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. moon light B. light rays

C. the nearest star D. the moon

4.The light of the nearest star you see tonight has been ______ for years.

A. on the earth B. on the moon

C. away from the sun D. away from the star
