On April 20th,2013, a big and powerful earthquake attacked Ya’an, Sichuan Province. A great many buildings and houses collapsed, a lot of people were killed and even more people lost their homes in the earthquake .
The number of the death from the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Ya’an in southwestern China's Sichuan Province has risen to 188, according to latest calculations by local Civil Affairs Bureau(as of 18:00 pm, April 22, ). At least 11,826 were reportedly injured in the quake while 25 are still missing.

Energy released from Wenchuan earthquake would be 30 times of that from Ya’an quake, according to Zhang Xiaonan, an expert with China's Geophysical Union. Dai Junwu with Harbin-based seismological bureau (地震局)expects the number of the death at less than 1,000, and economic losses from the quake could reach up to 100 billion yuan.
Rescue（營救）efforts were carried “timely and orderly”, said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who flew to the quicken-stricken area on Sunday, the second day of the quake. He was quoted as saying that “the current priority is to save lives”.

小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第一句話On April 20th,2013, a big and powerful earthquake attacked Ya’an可知，在2013年4月20號，雅安發(fā)生了大地震。故選B。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句話At least 11,826 were reportedly injured in the quake可知，截止4月22日18：00，至少有11,826人在地震中受傷。故選B。
小題3:詞義猜測題。該詞出現(xiàn)在第一段A great many buildings and houses collapsed中，我們知道，發(fā)生地震的時候，會導致房屋倒塌，故collapsed 的意思就是倒塌。A 選項fell down suddenly 即突然倒下來與它的意思最為接近。B選項意為重建；C選項意為燒成平地；D選項意為成碎片。故選A。
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段Dai Junwu with Harbin-based seismological bureau expects the number of the death at less than 1,000, and economic losses from the quake could reach up to 100 billion yuan.可知是Dai Junwu而不是Zhang Xiaonan預計經(jīng)濟損失可能達到1000億元，故D項表達不對。根據(jù)Energy released from Wenchuan earthquake would be 30 times of that from Ya’an quake可知A項正確；根據(jù)Chinese Premier Li Keqiang who flew to the quicken-stricken area on Sunday, the second day of the quake.可知B正確；根據(jù)the 8.0 magnitude quake hit Wenchuan on May 12, 2008, also in Sichuan Province, which killed more than 80,000可知C正確。故選D。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(責備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.
小題1:Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.
A．he can’t read or write

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerro, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerro type.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerro’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).
