On Nov 24, an activity at our school led to a heated discussion among students. Organized by Affiliated High School of Peking University and newspaper, the activity allowed students to get a deeper understanding of English newswriting and learn more about the upcoming Winter Olympics. Editor Sun Yiping shared with us her opinions on how to write a good news report. If it’s a big topic, it’s better to start with someone’s interesting stories—perhaps someone you interviewed instead of just empty talk. People always love stories. She also pointed out the importance of details. Show, don’t tell. Don’t tell me it’s a large dog, but show me it’s a 20-kilogram huskie（哈士奇）. With many examples, students learned useful skills for writing an attractive story,The next task for us was to provide news topics about our school. Students were active and shared lots of topics. They included a chemical experiment（实验）to make fertilizer（化肥）, a basketball game, an English drama competition and many more. After learning, we were asked to think about how to write a news report on the Beijing Winter Olympics. Some students said they wanted to interview the athletes and ask about how they prepared for competitions. Some wanted to focus on the volunteers, who devoted lots of time and hard work to the event. Others said they could write about middle school students who fell in love with winter sports. It seems that we all have some good stories to tell now.15. Why did Editor Sun choose the example about “huskie”?A. Because he wants to explain what “Show, don’t tell.” really means.B. Because topics about animals are more attractive.C. Because it is not a big topic for most students.D. Because he wants to tell us what empty talk is.16. About the Beijing Winter Olympics, students may not write stories about ________.A. the athletes’ preparationB. the volunteers’ devotionC. the winter sports loversD. the English speech competition17. This passage probably comes from a/an ________.A. PE magazineB. education magazineC. health magazineD. science magazineCOne plus one equals（等于）two. There are 60 seconds in one minute. Sixty minutes equals one hour. There are 24 hours in one day. One year includes 365 days. These are all basic（基本的）facts that we know by heart. But have you ever stopped to think how numbers came into being（产生）and how they developed?It’s safe to say that our society would never developed without numbers. However, the development of numbers is still a puzzle to us. That’s because when ancient people developed simple ways of counting, they didn’t leave any records behind. It’s not difficult to guess that numbers and counting began with the number “1”, though ancient people probably didn’t call it “one”. They likely counted by ones and recorded by carving（刻）lines on a bone. The earliest evidence（证据）of this is the Ishango Bone（伊尚戈骨）, which was found in 1960 in Africa. The bone is believed to be more than 20,000 years old. It has many lines on it. The lines look like what we would call “tally marks”（以5为单位的计数方法）today. Scientists think those lines show how ancient people used numbers.18. Where was the Ishango Bone found?A. In China.B. In Africa.C. In Egypt.D. In India.19. According to the article we still don’t know ________.A. the basic facts of numbersB. where numbers come fromC. how to count with numbersD. the importance of numbers20. Why is the development of numbers a puzzle?A. Because people today are not smart enough to find it out.B. Because people today are not interested in any way of counting.C. Because ancient people didn’t want to develop a way of counting.D. Because ancient people didn’t record their ways of counting.21. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A. The Ishango Bone was found 2000 years ago.B. There are many numbers on the Ishango Bone.C. Numbers are important to a society’s development.D. Ancient people carved lines on the stones as a way of counting.DFor hundreds of years, Hans Christian Andersen’s（安徒生）magical tales have made children happy with stories of icy queens, lonely mermaids and foolish emperors（愚蠢的皇帝）. In many stories, Andersen uses ordinary situations and magical settings to teach life lessons to young readers. A tiny girl grows from a flower, a butterfly tries to marry a flower and many more stories,Many of the stories in Andersen’s Fairy Tales（1835）are about appearances. Whether it’s a proud emperor and his clothes that can’t be seen, an ugly duckling（丑小鸭）trying to fit in with others that look different or a mermaid that wants to fit in with humans on land, the meaning of appearance plays a large role in many of Andersen’s tales. Too much pride in one’s appearance doesn’t turn out well for most of Andersen’s characters. In this excerpt（节选）from The Little Mermaid, the witch（巫师）takes away the mermaid’s voice in exchange for a human body. The following is excerpt from the book:“I am willing to help you, but are you willing to suffer（受苦）all this?”“Yes”. The little mermaid said in a trembling voice, as she thought of the Prince and of gaining a human heart. “Remember!” said the witch. “Once you have taken human form, you can never be a mermaid again. You can never come back through the waters to your sisters or to your father’s palace.”“I shall take that risk（险）,” said the little mermaid, but she turned as pale as death. “But you must also pay me!” the witch said, “and what I am asking for is not expensive. You have the loveliest voice of all those here on the sea-bed and you hope to entrant（使着迷）him with it, but that voice you must give to me. I must have the best thing you own for my precious drink! I must give you of my own blood for the drink, so that it can be as sharp as a double-edged sword（双刃剑）!”“But if you take my voice,” the little mermaid said. “what am I left with?”“Your lovely form,” the witch told her, “your gliding movements and your eloquent（会说话的）eyes. With these you can easily enchant a human heart. ……22.
