When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means 「rich coast」 in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important proct in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country』s second most important export.

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (細菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn』t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精煉米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (維生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person』s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don』t, they can also take vitamin pills.
61. The underlined word 「cure」 in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitamin
C. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice
62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.
A. spend his holiday
B. find ways to grow better crops
C. do some research about the island
D. help the Javanese with their illness
63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?
A. To eat them.
B. To carry out his experiments.
C. To give the Javanese a surprise.
D. To make money by selling them.
64. If a person doesn』t get enough vitamins in his diet, he』d better ______.
A. eat more rice B. eat more meat
C. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills
65. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickens
B. the Javanese didn』t like vitamins
C. Christian Eijkman』s experiment was successful
D. the Javanese』s disease was caused by a kind of germ
C ★★
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don』t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
66. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
69. The underlined words 「generous with our time」 in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be 「______」.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans』 hospitality
D. Americans』 and Chinese』s views of friendships

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
「I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can』t even understand a bit of music.」
「I』m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.」
But, one younger musician said, 「There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I』m trying to find other places to play. I』m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.」
I』ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they』re positive or negative, they』re rubbing off on you. If you』re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (責怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it』s time to take a look at the people you call 「friends」.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (標准) for yourself and don』t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you』re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one』s success
72. The underlined sentence 「they』re rubbing off on you」 in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they』ll push you ahead
B. they』ll influence you
C. they』ll cover your shortcomings
D. they』ll help you achieve your goal
73. The musicians』 words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians』 living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends
B. come to the right way of making friends
C. develop a better relationship with your friends
D. arrange the time with your friends properly
75. The passage is mainly written for ______.

Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia』s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile』s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.

Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.
「This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,」 said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.
He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband』s 「quick and diligent actions」.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called 「What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?」 by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (職業) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world』s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let』s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren』t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探討它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don』t fing, grocers don』t groce, and hammers don』t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn』t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That』s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看見的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words 「wind up」 in the last paragraph probably mean 「______」.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. ll

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival. The first lunar month is called Yuan-month in China, and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. Meanwhile, the 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuanxiao Festival in China. According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, is eating small mpling （面團） balls made of glutinous rice flour （糯米粉） . We call these balls Yuanxiao of Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated ring the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular ring the Tang and Song periods.
The fillings inside the mplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts （胡桃）， sesame （芝麻）， osmanthus flowers （桂花）， rose petals, sweetened tangerine peel （甜橙皮）， bean paste （豆沙）， or jujube paste （棗泥） . A single ingredient （成分） or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced （切碎的） meat, vegetables or a mixture.
The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough （生面團） of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the mpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or non-meat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer （層） of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the mpling is the desired size.
The custom of eating Yuanxiao mplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao procts. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the mplings to attract more customers

E. 初一下英語閱讀理解練習題及答案
A
In the sea there are many islands. In its warm water there are some little ones. We call them "Coral islands".
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it into small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?

A nobleman (貴族) was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. Beside the old man, on the ground, lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The nobleman called out to the old man, "What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?"

F. 英語閱讀7選5試題及答案
答案詳解
41.【解析】[B]從試題前後的語義邏輯關系來看，試題前面的一段話表明的信息是Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today, others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now(盡管這些動物是某些活到現在的物種的祖先，但有的動物卻滅絕了，也就是說它們現在已經沒有子孫後代活在這個世界上)。試題的後面的句子表明的信息是 Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago(有時候這些石頭可以將它們的外表展現出來，這樣，除了顏色我們就可以對那些數百年前死掉的生物形成一個比較准確的印象)。從語義關系裡看，前文中說動物滅絕了，暗含的意思是我們不可能得到這些動物的任何信息，而後面的句子說我們可以對這些動物形成准確的印象，因此，前後文形成了明顯的對比關系，四個選項中能夠表達這種關系的，只有選項[B]。
本題還可以採用詞彙的復現來確定正確答案，從試題後面的句子Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin來看，rocks的前面使用了定冠詞the修飾，這表明rocks在前文中一定出現過，但我們考察第一段時發現，第一段中並沒有出現關於rocks的內容，因此可以確定，關於rocks的內容一定出現在要填入的試題中。選項[B] Nevertheless, we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils. From them we can tell their size and shape, how they walked, the kind of food they ate中出現了動物的骨骼被保存在the rocks中，變成化石的論述，由此可以判斷選項[B]是正確答案。
42.【解析】[F]本題出現在一個段落的首句，從答題策略來看，應當重點看後文的敘述，後文中water重復了兩遍，說明這一信息是本段落的重點信息。同時這一信息很可能會在下上文中，即我們要填入的信息中出現復現詞或同現詞。對比選項，選項[F]中出現了lake，stream，river，sea等同類詞彙，因此可以判斷這一選項為正確答案。本題最大的干擾項為[G]，因為[G]項一開始就有how fossils ate preserved與下文Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks…所表達的內容從形式上來看似乎是吻合的;但是[G]項後面講的是動物遺體上的有機組織(organism)可能轉達化成幾種形式而本題空白處後面的內容則告訴人們Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action(岩石中幾乎所有的化石都是由於水作用而被保存下來)，語義上主要說明泥沙對於化石保存下來所起的作用，因此兩者在語義的銜接上是不連貫的。
43.【解析】[E]本題選擇的特徵詞是「also」。「also」表並列關系，語義上對前文進行補充和說明，這就證明本題前面的句子中應當與also後的crablike creatures(類似螃蟹的生物)相並列的內容，或者出現了有關「類似螃蟹的生物」的描述的信息。比較選項可以發現，選項[E]中出現的信息Later forms are more complex, and among these are the sealilies, relations of the starfishes, which had long arms and were attached by a long stalk to the sea bed, or to rocks描述了一些生物具有「類似螃蟹的信息」： had long arms and were attached by a long stalk to the sea bed, or to rock(有長腕且通過長柄附著於海床或岩石上)。因此，選項 [E]是正確答案。
44.【解析】[A] 下文一開始就出現了指示代詞these，這說明試題前面的句子表明了一類事物，也就是說，試題部分應該有「some, several, many」或類似的詞，對比答案只能是選項[A] The shellfish have a long history in the rock and many different kinds are known.裡面出現了many different kinds of，這個短語和後面的指示代詞these形成了對應關系。
45.【解析】[C]從文章的整體結構看，這里需要一個內容的「高潮」：前面幾段講的都是動物不斷的進化過程，而下文中表示時間的短語「About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over」 很可能向我們傳達了這樣一個信息：文章對地球上動物進化過程的描寫很有可能是按照時間順序的，因此本題所在的段落和下面的段落很可能存在時間上的延續關系，即本題所在的段落很可能會提到比75 million years ago更早的時間。通過對比選項可知選項[C]中的兩個表示時間的短語375 million years和150 million years和下一個段落中提到的時間狀語具有了延續性，是正確答案。
此外，還可以採用詞彙復現法解答本題。試題後面一句話About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out中的reptile在本題前的文章中從沒有提到，在下文中又沒有作為新信息，因而作為正確答案的選項中一定有這個詞，只有[C]項中有「The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the sea, and in the sea ,and in the air」。所以正確答案只能是[C]。
