Hello, my name is Jimmy. One day my eighth grade friend said that he was taking the school geography bee
（比赛）written test the next day. Something in his tone told me that he was not looking forward to the bee. I
could not understand! It sounded like a lot of fun to me.
All day, I found myself wishing I was in middle school, so I could take part in the geography bee. During my
lunch break I walked up to my social studies teacher’s classroom and asked her if I could take part in the bee for
middle school. But she did hesitate（犹豫）a bit because I was too young, just a primary school pupil. I told herthat I really loved to learn about our earth, its rivers, mountains, all the human cultures on it. She was still not sure
but finally said, “Yes.” I jumped at once!
That next morning I was going to be in the school bee as a participant（参赛者）and learn things I was really
interested in. I was not nervous one bit, instead just very excited to be doing something I really loved. We had four
written rounds—two on the United States and two on the world. I did surprisingly well and placed on the top ten,
beating some of the strong seventh and eighth graders. I lost in the oral round the next day, but won my teacher’s
attention. I came home and looked up the answers to the questions that I and other students lost on.
I placed second in my school the following year, but more importantly, I realized that I really loved geography
and enjoyed the time I spent learning it. I may have lost that first bee, but I won the world; a love for that world;
love to explore that world—one country, one mountain, one river, one landform at a time; and that is certainly the
biggest win for me truly!
26. Jimmy was a(n) ________.
A. eighth grader B. geography teacher C. primary school pupil D. middle school worker
27. When the teacher agreed to let Jimmy take part in the geography bee, he was ________.
A. surprised B. worried C. excited D. nervous
28. After Jimmy’s first geography bee, we can infer that ________.
.
A he fell in love with geography B. he felt excited to take part in bees
C. he felt sorry to lose the geography bee D. he found it hard to learn geography well

In September, something terrible happened on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. As many as 380 pilot
whales became stranded（搁浅）in shallow water there and later died. This might have been Australia’s largest
stranding event on record, the BBC reported.
But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world
and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different
explanations.
Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying
attention to where they are going.
Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field （地磁场）. They say that a
geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect
the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.
Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales
travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one getsinto trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist from New Zealand. “Some will
come in and try to help. They get trapped on the beach and then more will come.”
The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy（同情）. Once they get stranded, they will likely die.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the US, less than 10 percent of all stranded
whales survive.
29. What do we know about the stranding in Australia?
A. It happened on the east coast of Australia. B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.
.
C It is commonly seen in September each year. D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.
30. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that ________.
A. are kind to each other B. are easy to lose direction
C. are too huge to float in the sea D. are silly to follow the leading whale
31. What is the story mainly about?
A. How human activity has affected whales.
B. What might cause whale strandings.
C. How whales find their direction while traveling.
D. What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.

Do Dogs Dream?
Unlike cartoon images (图像、影像), real dogs don’t speak and describe their sleep. So you may wonder: do
dogs dream like their owners?
A scientific research conducted at MIT found that during sleep, brains of humans and dogs work in a similar
manner. When you or your dog first falls asleep, you experience SWS—slow wave(波) sleep—when the brain
waves are slow but muscles (肌肉) are still active. Later a deeper stage of sleep happens. This stage is called REM
sleep — rapid eye movements sleep. During REM, muscles are more relaxed, but the mind is more active. It was
proved that both humans and dogs experience these two stages of the sleep circle. Since we know that humans
dream, it is safe to conclude(做出结论) that dogs dream too.
Scientists found that as a dog falls asleep, his breathing becomes deeper and more regular(规则的). After
about 20 minutes in REM sleep, dreams usually begin for normal dogs. While dreaming, the dog’s breathing maybecome weak and irregular, and his eyes move about behind the closed lids (眼睑) as if the dog is looking at
something. By comparing brain wave patterns, researchers suggested that during REM, dogs are visualizing (呈现)
dream images much like humans do during this stage of sleep.
Besides, it also found that during REM, the sleeping brain operates much like it does when awake, so both
man and dogs dream about things that happen during their waking hours. Information gathered during the day is
processed at night and may be relived in dreams. So your dog may “sleep run” as he runs after a cat or fetches a
ball.
Studies also show that some dogs dream more than others, and the frequency and length of dreams are
different according to the age and size of dogs. Young puppies usually experience more dreams than adult dogs.
One possible reason is that puppies get huge amounts (数量) of new information daily and have much to process at
night. Among dogs of the same age, smaller dogs seem to have more dreams than their bigger friends, but their
dreams may last shorter. Dream length and frequency are also related to the amount of sleep required. A dog that
has an active day outside may sleep more soundly than usual and experience longer periods of REM sleep, giving
him more time to dream.
32. What happens to the dogs during REM sleep?
A. Their muscles stay active. B. Their dreams take place.
C. Their brain waves are slow. D. Their mind is more relaxed.
33. While dreaming, the dog ________.
A. breathes regularly B. opens the lids
C. visualizes images D. gathers information
34. What does the underlined word “relived” probably mean?
A. Required. B. Reviewed. C. Repaired. D. Researched.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why dogs dream like humans. B. What bigger dogs dream about.
C. Why young puppies have more dreams. D. What causes the differences of dogs’ dreams.

Have you ever heard of netball? It is a team sport which is similar to both basketball and handball.
Netball was first played in England in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg’s College. In the first half of the 20th
century, Netball’s popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many countries, it is particularly
popular in Australia and New Zealand. In 1995 Netball became a “recognized” sport of the International OlympicCommittee (IOC) and one of the International Netball Federation’s goals is to encourage the IOC to include netball
in the Olympic Games Programme in the future.
There are seven players on each team and they each wear a bib (号码布) which shows the name of the
position they play. Players must throw the ball to one another and the aim of the game is to pass the ball to the
“Goal Shooter” or “Goal Attack” who can shoot the ball into the net to score a goal. However, the key rules of
netball are that you cannot bounce (拍) the ball and you cannot move your feet when you have the ball. This is
called the footwork rule and it can be quite difficult to grasp (掌握) for young children playing the game! A full
match lasts for one hour and in a single match often about 100 goals are scored which shows what a fast-paced and
exciting game netball is!
Netball is typically played by women and girls. However, at many universities, there are mixed netball leagues
(联赛) in which teams must have both male and female players.
In the UK, there are many different ways to try to attract women to play netball. One such plan is called “Back
to Netball” which encourages women who have not played netball since they were at school to rediscover their love
for the sport and get back on the court! Walking Netball is another variation (变化形式) of the sport aimed at older
women and those who want to exercise in a gentler way. So, why not watch a video of netball online and then have
a go for yourself?
