The Dragon Boat Festival (or Duanwu Festival in Chinese) is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is a day to remember the great poet Qu Yuan who was a loyal (忠誠的) official in the State of Chu in ancientChinaand deeply loved by his people.
Qu Yuan drowned (淹死) himself on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC due to being unable to save his country. The local people did what they could to search for him in the river,meanwhile they dropped rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed (蘆葦) leaves into the river in order to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. Since then,it has been a tradition on this day to eat zongziirice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves) as a memorial to the poet.
Nowadays,zongzi is not only made for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is available at any time of the year with wide styles. The main ingredient (原料) of zongzi is the rice,and then the bamboo or reed leaves―the wrapping that makes zongzi taste delicious. The usual recipes (食譜) include dates,meat,chestnuts,yolks of eggs and so on.

1. A詞義猜測題。由題目中的關鍵詞due to,可回原文定位于第二段第一句。"Qu Yuan drowned himself on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC"與"being unable to save his country"之間存在因果關系，因此due to意為"因為，由于"，相當于because of。
2. C細節理解題。由題目中的關鍵詞NOT true ,可回原文定位并理解全文。根據第二段第二句中的"they dropped ... into the river in order to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body"可知，人們把棕子丟進河里是為了防止魚吃屈原的身體，c項表述為"人們把粽子丟進河里是為了抓魚"是錯誤的。根據第一段第二句中的"who was a loyal official in the State of Chu in ancient China and deeply loved by his people"可知，屈原是一位官員，深受人們的愛戴，排除A;根據第一段第二句中的"It is a day to remember the great poet Qu Yuan..."可知，端午節是為了紀念屈原，排除B;根據第一段第一句"The Dragon Boat Festival... is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month."可知，端午節在陰歷的五月五日，排除D.
3. D段落大意題。由題目中的關鍵詞The second paragraph mainly tells,可回原文定位于第二段。通讀第二段可知，本段主要講述了粽子的由來。
4. A細節理解題。由題目中的關鍵詞the last paragraph ,可回原文定位于最后一段。根據最后一段第二句"It is available at any time of the year with wide styles."可知，有很多不同類型的粽子。根據最后一段第二句中的"it is available at any time of the year...”可知,人們不只在端午節吃粽子，B項表述為"人們只在端午節吃粽子"是錯誤的，排除B;根據最后一段第三句中的"The main ingredient of zongzi is the rice..."可知，大米是粽子的主要材料，c項表述為"大米是粽子唯一的材料"是錯誤的，排除C;根據最后一段第三句中的"the wrapping that makes zongzi taste delicious"可知，包裝使得粽子嘗起來美味可口， D 項表述為"大米使得粽子嘗起來美味可口"是錯誤的，排除D.
5. D主旨大意題。文章主要介紹了端午節。

Astronauts inAmericawho fly into space,need special training. First they go to Houston,Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Center. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.
The first test is for the heart. The people walk or run,then the space doctors see how fast their hearts beat.
Another important test is performed. In this test,the person must curl (蜷曲) his body up in a ball. When he is in that position,he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space,the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.
After the tests,only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training center. The astronauts in training learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter (直升機) .That seems fun,but it can be dangerous.
After they finish training,the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In this way,they can learn new facts about space travel.
Then the big day comes. The astronauts are told to go to work on a flight into space. The crew members get to know each other first. Then they can learn what job each will do.
( ) 1. What do the doctors test first in the Johnson Space Center?
A. Space knowledge. B. Fears of tight space. C. The eyesight. D. The heart.

How hard we have all prayed (祈禱) to grow up quickly,and looked forward to the happy days of being a grownup and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.
At last,you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady". You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown?up teenager. People welcome you―this young lady―heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.
