Passage Two
A panel of government officials is worried. The air quality in some areas is not good. The air is polluted with soot. The officials worry that the air is harmful to the people who breathe the air. The officials are experts. They study the environment. They discuss ways to stop the air pollution. The panel decided to make some changes to the law.
The new plan places strict limits on how much soot can be released into the air. Now, a measurement of 65 parts of soot is considered safe. The new plan would reduce that number to 30. The daily limit of pollution in the air would be cut in half.
These new standards would affect industry. The limits would also affect people who own wood stoves and fireplaces. The county will keep track of the air quality every day. People would be required to stop burning wood when the levels are high. They could also install a kind of special fireplace. These fireplaces burn very little wood. They do not pollute the air as much. Some counties will punish families who violate the ban. They will have to pay a fine for not complying with the law.
Some states do not have much industry. Their pollution problem is not too bad. They would still have to regulate how much pollution is released into the air. The experts hope that this ban will help keep the air cleaner.
Before the plan becomes a law the public will have a chance to comment on it. Citizens will have ninety days to ask questions and voice concerns about the plan. Then it will become a law.
5. The panel is made up of ______.
A. scientists B. homeowners C. citizens D. factory owners 6. How will the government know what the air quality is?
A. The factories will test the air every day. B. Scientists will test it every day. C. A report will be published. D. They will ask homeowners 7. What will happen to residents if they don't comply with the law?
A. They will have to go to work in a factory. B. They will have to pay a fine.
C. They will go to jail for ninety days. D. The government will take away their woodstove 8. Why is the government asking for comments on the new rules?
A. Because it is trying to fool people. B. Because it doesn't know how to make rules.
C. Because it wants to be nice D. Because it wants to hear what the citizens have to say.
Passage Three
The phoenix was one of the most magnificent birds that ever lived. Unfortunately for bird watchers, the grand phoenix lived only in the imaginations of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.
According to Greek mythology, only- one phoenix at a time lived on earth. The phoenix, a male, was brightly colored, with gold and red feathers. Legend has it that the single bird lived for exactly 500 years. Just before it was to die, it would build a nest, The mythical bird's last task was to sit patiently on the nest, waiting for the sun to start the dry twigs burning and set the nest ablaze. But as the proud phoenix sacrificed itself in flame, a tiny worm would crawl from beneath the ashes. This worm grew in to a new phoenix. Its first task was to gather up its father's ashes and bury them in the temple of the Egyptian sun god in Heliopolis, the City of the Sun. Each reborn phoenix lived out the remainder of its life in Arabia.
Today, the phoenix symbolizes immortality. Also, someone who succeeds where he or she had previously failed is often referred to as a phoenix.
9. This passage discusses an ancient ______. A. king B. myth C. fairy tale D. god
10. Most of a phoenix's life was supposedly spent in ______. A. Greece B. Egypt C. Heliopolis D. Arabia 11. Someone who is called a phoenix today ______.

A. with the use of facts B. in a humorous way C. in an unclear way D. step-by-step
Passage Four
The frog is an amphibian, which means \"double living\" or both water and land living. That is, it is able to get oxygen from water at one stage in its life and from the air at another stage. Perhaps you have heard the term amphibian used for military vehicles which can travel on both land and water. Toads and salamanders, as well as frogs, are amphibians. In the development of animals over the world's history, amphibians were the first vertebrates to live at least part time on land.
As a tadpole, the frog spends the beginning of its life living in the water. The tadpole breathes by means of tiny gills. When the lungs begin to develop, the gills disappear. By the time they are adults, all frogs have lungs for breathing while on land. In this way, the animal becomes essentially a land-adapted animal.
In addition to having lungs, frogs and salamanders have a moist skin through which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. This moist skin is very important in the winter weather when amphibians hibernate in the mud at the bottom of ponds and lakes. They get what little oxygen they need through the skin.
Like fish, amphibians are cold-blooded animals. This means that their body temperature rises and falls with that of their surroundings.
13. This passage mainly talks about one of the amphibian, ______. A. salamander B. toad C. tadpole D. frog
14. A land-adapted animal is one which has developed the ability ______. A. to live under ground B. to move swiftly both on land and in water
C. to breath and function when out of the waterD. to maintain a constant body temperature when on land 15. In addition to breathing with its lungs, an adult frog has the ability to breathe through its ______. A. spout B. gills C. skin D. tongue
16. Based on paragraph 4, we conclude that ______.
A. frogs cannot move about in snowy conditions B. frogs are cold-blooded animals C. the body temperature of frogs rises during the winter time D. the surroundings are too dangerous for frogs to remain on land

A Letter to the President
Dear President,
Thank you for reading my letter. My name is Kang Yan, and I'm a student at the college. I'd like to say something about the usage of mobile phones among college students.
Nowadays, more and more college students use mobile phones on college campus not for its convenience but for its fashion and popularity. On the other hand, using mobile phones affects the normal teaching order to some extent. In the
lecture, sometimes we hear the phone ring here and there, and some of the students send short messages now and then. As a result we couldn’t concentrate on our work.
People have different opinions about it. I think it’s good to use the mobile phones, but the students shouldn't use it in the lecture. Finally, I hope you can pay attention to the phenomenon.
Yours gratefully, Kang Yan
