3 . The UN Environment (环境) Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end of some migrating (迁徙) animals．
Migrating animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold area in winter to warmer ones. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales (鲸) and turtles(海龟) travel through huge areas of ocean (海洋). A report says that changes in any one of the places where these animals stay can lead to some problems. "Obviously these animals have developed their traveling ways over thousands of years. But weather changes much greater over the next 25 to 50 years. And it is impossible for these animals to change their habits fast enough," said the report writer Dr.Robert Hepworth．
Turtles are hit hardest by rising temperatures. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, Turtles have far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, Turtles are only giving birth to female babies. And some turtles are more probable to develop cancer (癌症) as the waters get warmer.
With birds, the main problem is the harm to important areas at the end of their travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of immigration birds are now in danger because of these changes, including rising sea levels, land loss and more strong storms.
Some other animals are now in great danger. For example, the North Atlantic Right Whale is losing their food because of the changing ocean flows; The White-Nose Dolphin is out-competed（淘汰）by other kinds in warmer waters．
The report is not all bad news. Even with the temperature changing, protecting the environment can still help migrating animals return. "We need to start taking action all over the world. The clock is ticking. We should make full use of every minute." said Dr.Hepworth. And now some projects are already working! Whales are changing their feeding habits, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat．

| A．The North Atlantic Right Whale may find new food． |
| B．Some turtles may develop cancer with the warm waters． |
| C．1/5 of migrating birds change their feeding habits． |

4 . Every year, nearly a million children in the world die because of unintentional injuries（意外伤害）, and the biggest killer is the traffic accident, according to a report from the Worldwide Health Organization.
The report says that traffic accidents, falling into water, fires, falls, and poisoning（中毒）are the five major causes of unintentional injuries. About 830000 children under 18 die and millions of children are injured every year.
The World Health Organization finds that roads are the most dangerous places for children, especially in developing countries. Because children in these countries haven’t learned about the dangers of road traffic, they are often not ready for the new roads that might be built through their villages.
In Asia, deaths are most often caused by bikes. It is usual to see a whole family on one bike in counties such as Vietnam. When they are knocked over, they will be badly injured and some may even die.
In the United States and other Western countries, injuries from road traffic accidents have been cut down through the use of safety seats for children and other safety measures. However, traffic accidents are still a major cause of deadly（致命的） injuries.
1. How many children die from unintentional injuries in the world every year?| A．Nearly a thousand. | B．A hundred. |
| C．A million. | D．About a million. |
| A．3. | B．4. | C．5. | D．6. |

| A．there are no traffic accidents in the United States |
| B．traffic is a major cause of injuries in the United States |
| C．there are ways to cut the number of traffic accidents |
| D．people can only be injured by traffic accidents |
| A．fires are more dangerous than falls and falling into water |
| B．many children die from unintentional injuries every year |

6 . Mobile phones(手机) have become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have stopped students from carrying mobile phones during school hours. The mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students will want them.
Mary, a teacher, said the mobile phone use is a distraction(分心) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classmates. Teachers also said that sometimes students might use phone message to copy during exams. She said some school tried to stop mobile phones.

8 . What should we do if one of our classmates suddenly falls ill or gets hurt? Here are some steps you should follow. But always remember to look for medical care after first aid (急救) if the wound is serious.
Broken bones (骨头) : Take away clothing from the wound. Use an ice pack. Don’t move the hurt body part while waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Animal bites (咬伤) : Wash the bite area with soap and water. Pack the wound with a clean cloth if it is bleeding. If the bleeding has stopped, cover the area with a bandage (绷带) and take the person to the hospital. Make sure you remember what kind of animal it is, so the doctor can find the right way to treat him or her at once.
Fainting (昏厥) : Have him or her lie with feet lifted a little. Don’t move the body if you think there might be wounds from the fall. Make sure he or she can breathe and let in fresh air. Clean the person’s face with a cool cloth.
Nosebleeds:Have the person sit up with his or her head tilted (倾斜) forward a little. Do not have the person tilt his or her head back because this may cause heavy breathing or coughing. Pinch (捏) the lower part of the nose for at least 10 minutes.

9 . We wake up very early to go to school, maybe even earlier to meet with a teacher, complete our extracurricular(课程以外的) activities, come home to have a quick dinner, talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep. But then we remember we have to look at the American College Test(ACT) exercises one more time. Half asleep, we run downstairs to get the ACT books, and start studying. After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep. And then six hours later, we do it all over again.
In my health class, my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night. The sad truth is, with so much to do every day, high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule(安排).
Let me ask you all a question: Doesn’t it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night? This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep. Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night? It leaves us very little time to relax, therefore reducing the time that we can sleep.
In my opinion, the present structure(结构) of the junior year of high school doesn’t work well. Junior year of high school is a time for growth. By this time many students have the ability to think creatively, and solve challenging problems. Homework is important for a student’s growth. But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it? Too much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability. I do think it is time to change the structure, so that we sleep at home and learn at school.
1. In the first paragraph the writer gives________.| A．a picture of the present daily life of high school students |
| B．an example of an ideal daily life of high school students |
| C．a reason for high school students to live a busy daily school life |
| D．a suggestion of what high school students should do to pass ACT |
| A．junior year of high school is the most important growth period |
| B．challenging problems are needed for a teenager’s growth |
| C．the ability to think has nothing to do with homework |
| D．the present structure leads to students often sleeping in class |
| A．To prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers’ growth. |
| B．To complain about the problems in the system of the ACT. |
| C．To ask for a change for less homework and more sleep. |
| D．To discuss the relationship between sleep and homework. |
Do you want to study abroad through an AFS（国际文化交流组织） program? If you do, it’s time to think about it.
An AFS program surely makes you stand out (脱颖而出) when you’re applying for a college. Colleges often express how experiencing a foreign culture can be more valuable than one more AP course or after-school activity. Universities really need students who value cross-cultural experience. High school is a perfect time to study a new language. Being in the country where a language is spoken is one of the quickest and best ways to learn the language. If you know one more language, you’11 not only be more competitive in college applications and jobs, but you’ll also be able to communicate and connect with other cultures.
An AFS exchange can lead to new perspectives (看法）on the world. By living with a host family, meeting new international friends and attending a foreign school, studying abroad could be one of the best ways for you to understand today's important things.
High school is a critical time for teenagers to start thinking about big academic and professional decisions. Your decisions in high school can greatly influence your future. Being an exchange student in high school could provide you with new opportunities to develop skills.
Exciting. Rewarding. Memorable. These are words AFS students use to describe their life abroad. If you go to study abroad through an AFS program, you’11 begin an adventure of a lifetime.
