   Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Quan Tangshi edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48, 900 poems that were written by over 2, 200 poets. But it doesn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.

In the Tang Dynasty scholars(学者)had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems;women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.

Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle(奇迹)in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited(继承)Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by people of the Tang Dynasty. Philosophy, handwriting, painting, music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and the greatest achievement in the Tang Dynasty.

A.there were more than 48, 900 poems written in the Tang Dynasty
B.in total there were four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty
C.only people of the Tang Dynasty created poems

   Isaac Asimov is one of the most famous science fiction(科幻小说)writers of all time. He moved from Russia to the United States in 1923.He was a teacher at Boston University and began writing science fiction stories in 1939.His most famous works are the Foundation books and the Robot stories. He died in 1992 at the age of 72.

"There are not many people who have invented a useful scientific term,and although I did it unknowingly,I am not going to let anyone in the world forget it,"said Isaac Asimov. He was talking about the word "robotics" —the study of robot behaviour.

Asimov wrote several stories about robots between 1940 and 1990.One of the special features of the robots in these stories was that they were programmed to follow the Three Laws of Robotics.

The First Law: A robot must not hurt a human being,or allow a human being to be hurt.

The Second Law: A robot must obey orders by human beings unless these orders conflict(冲突)with the First Law.

The Third Law: A robot must protect itself unless this conflicts with the First or Second Law.

In Asimov's stories,the robots must follow these laws so that they do not attack the humans that created them.

Some scientists think the Three Laws of Robotics are hard to realise in real life. On the other hand,some say that the laws are great for science fiction but completely useless in real life. For example,if the laws really worked,robots couldn't be used in wars,as this would break the First Law. Since the army is one of the biggest supporters for robotic research,it is very unlikely that an attempt to follow these rules will happen.

According to Asimov,one thing is certain:"Robots are changing the world and driving it in directions we cannot clearly foresee(预见)."

【小题1】At Boston University, Isaac ________.
A.learned to write stories
B.started to write science fiction stories
C.taught the writing of science fiction stories
D.invented a robot for writing
【小题2】According to some scientists, the Three Laws of Robotics are ________.
A.boringB.important
C.practicalD.unrealistic
【小题3】Based on the Three Laws of Robotics, robots can't be used ________.
A.in real lifeB.in wars
C.in the armyD.in the writing

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. They usually go out to hunt for food when it is dark. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves quickly and then jumps on the animals to kill it. Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.
Tigers are different from others in the cat family: they like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.
But now all tigers are in danger. Some people kill tigers to use their skins for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live in.

As thousands of communities in the USA — especially in the South — became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.
Education programs needed_____________“We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas principal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit (招聘)teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.
But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or sometimes unwelcoming, to the newcomers. One of the biggest challenges educators face, is communicating effectively with parents who don’t speak English — an issue that, in part, has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.
“The parents’ role is very important for the success of these students, but it's also one of the most difficult things we’ve had to tackle(处理),” said Jim D. Rollins, the president of the Springdale school district, where the 19,000-student school system has gone from having no English-learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now. “You have to make it a priority and work on it, work on it, and work on it.”
Aside from the practical challenges, such as finding bilingual (会说两种语言的) staff members, guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides. For school leaders in the South, especially in the last few years, this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.
【小题1】According to the passage, what is the problem that public schools are facing?
A.Handling more cases from the immigrant Mexican communities.
B.Offering services to immigrant families in the southern states.
C.Offering enough communicative lessons to immigrant parents.
D.Providing education for non-native English learners.
【小题2】The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “________”.
A.completely new
B.painful to make
C.based on past experience
D.constructed gradually
【小题3】What do we know about the immigrant parents?
A.Many of them cannot speak English.
B.Most of them think education is not important.
C.Some of them feel skeptical about the local community.
D.Few of them have attended American schools.

Jane Austen ever popular

This summer, the UK will honor its favorite writer, Jane Austen (1775-1817), by making her face on the new £ 10 note. In the 200 years since her death, Austen’s fame has increased from the modest amount she enjoyed in her lifetime to the global fame she receives today.

And yet Austen’s work is so very English that it’s rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of her time that it’s remarkable that she’s still appreciated in this very different age. Her most famous works — including Pride and Prejudice, the one for which she is most known — are set in the world of the English gentry (绅士阶层) in the 18th century.

Most of her fiction is about young women of that time. Women of the gentry could not work so their chances of happiness or even basic living depended upon finding a husband. This is a very serious subject, of course, but the joy of Austen’s stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching comedy out of something so serious.

Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. Elizabeth Bennet is one of five daughters in a countryside family that struggles because daughters can’t inherit (继承) the property. Her mother wants to marry off as many of them as possible. The pushy and annoying Mrs Bennet is one of the great comic characters in English literature.

The main plot of the novel is driven by the love-hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, a wealthy noble. At first, they don’t get on. Elizabeth finds Darcy too proud; she feels he thinks he is better than everyone else in the countryside. She thinks that he looks down upon her family in particular. Darcy, while admiring Elizabeth, believes that she has treated him unfairly. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these obstacles (阻碍) are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.

If we think about this story, it’s obvious why Jane Austen is still popular 200 years after her death, and why readers can still identify with (与……产生共鸣) characters from the long dead world of the 18th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, it’s still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.

【小题1】What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A.The author believes Jane Austen’s works are ahead of her time.
B.The author thinks that everyone should read Jane Austen’s books.
C.The author has doubts about Jane Austen’s popularity all over the world.
D.The author is surprised that Jane Austen’s books are still so famous.
【小题2】According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice __________.
A.has a sad and unexpected ending
B.deals with a serious social issue in a lighthearted way
C.centers on countryside people’s struggles in the 18th century
D.tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work
【小题3】According to the passage, why does Jane Austen remain popular today?
A.Because readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy nobles.
B.Because readers are attracted by the way people deal with difficulties in the stories.
C.Because readers can always find something new from her novels.
D.Because her works deal with the problems many of today’s readers still face.
【小题4】What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To tell us why Jane Austen is chosen to be on the new £ 10 note.
B.To introduce the story of Pride and Prejudice.
C.To explain why Jane Austen is still popular today.
D.To introduce Jane Austen’s creative writing style.
