1、Passage 2
Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.
Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.
The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large ―hot air balloon‖. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.1.Leonardo Da Vinci( ).

1、Passage 6Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We
encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A
new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who‘ve fallen behind.
Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do
some teaching, that is, tutoring in Math and English.
You‘d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose help a child with
Math, English, or both. Half-hour lesson are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two
days a week.
Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors ---- he‘ll be available to help you with
lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday
afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.
I‘m sure you will enjoy this community service and you‘ll gain valuable experience at the
same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you‘ve had experience with children
and that you care about your community. If you‘d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge‘s office this week.5. Whom do you think the passage dresses to?

157.Many of his classmates( )to work in the countryside.

1、Passage 5Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to
buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,
they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as
money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.
In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of
Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the
center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have
used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin.
Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins
of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper
money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
1. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for
services?
4. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy
something expensive?
