In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don't know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up（熬夜）very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to go to school in time by bus or by bike. It may be a long way from home to school.

Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, we should make best use of our time. When we have enough time for sleeping, we will find it much better for both our study and health.

Water is the “l(fā)ife blood” of our earth. It is in every living thing. It is in the air. It runs through mountains and valleys. It forms lakes and oceans. Water is everywhere.

Nature has a great water system. Rain water finds its way to streams and the oceans.

In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America’s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker（名字）, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning “the high one”. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896—the year when it was named in honour of William McKinley（1843—1901）, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain with an interesting linguistic history, so let’s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore the naming of those continents’ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.

The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “Abode of Snow”, from hima for “snow” and ālaya for “abode”. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various names such as Himavā and Himavanta.

In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest （1790—1866）, who was the superintendent （負(fù)責(zé)人）of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able to pronounce it.

K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in the Trigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount Godwin Austen after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for the mountain is Chhogori.

Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers （崇拜者）that food will not fail. The name derives（源出）from a Sanskrit word meaning “one who gives nourishment”.

The Matterhorn’s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the second element of which is apparently Matte “meadow”, and Horn, “horn”. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting（突出的）peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino “deer-like”, which conjures up （使想起）a deer’s antlers.

Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means“Mountain by the（River）Nevis”. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for “water”.

1.How many continents’ mountains are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2 B. 3

C. 4 D. 5

2.Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.

A. Nepalese B. Abode of Snow

C. Alaya D. Himavā

3.Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

A. Everest was unhappy about the name of Mount Everest at first.

B. K2 was once called Col. H. H. Godwin.

C. Annapurna means “one who offers food”.

D. Matterhorn comes from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt.

4.The above mountains’ names come from sources other than _________.

A. color B. a Sanskrit word

C. a person’s name D. geographic name

My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it. “Have you seen the tree?” She asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the autumn twilight （暮色）. “The one down at the corner,” she explained. “It’s a beautiful tree—all kinds of colors. All the passers-by stop to have a look. You ought to see it.” I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street when a splash of bright orange caught my eyes. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.

I approached the tree to look at it closely. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. It was a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. Like the mess of an artist’s palette（調(diào)色板）, the tree blazed a bright crimson（深紅色）on its lower branches and burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center, and deep red at its top. Through these colors were light green leaves as yet untouched by autumn.

Walking closer I noticed several bare branches near the top, their small black branches scratching the air like claws. The fallen leaves lay like a red carpet around the trunk.

As I was amazed at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s comments about the stars. “If the constellations（星座）appeared only once in a thousand years, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they’re up there every night, we barely give them a look,” he made a remark in Nature.

I felt the same way about the tree. Because its beauty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.

Once in the 19th century when a man noticed a brilliant display of northern lights（北極光）in the sky over Massachusetts, he rang a church bell to alert the whole town’s people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to awake the countryside to its wonder.

I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but important question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: “Have you seen the tree?”.

1.What did the author’s neighbor remind him?

A. To appreciate the beauty of the sunset.

B. To find what happened at the street corner.

C. To draw a picture of a tree.

D. To enjoy the beautiful tree in all colors.

2.From the passage we know _________.

A. the author felt it precious to see the beauty of the tree

B. the author thought of the stars as beautiful as the tree

C. the remarkable scene of the tree only appeared in a thousand years

D. People never had a close look at the tree

3.How did the author call on people to enjoy the wonder?

A. He rang the church bell.

B. He passed on the same question.

C. He awakened all neighbors up.

D. He required people to the corner.

4.The best title of the passage can be ________.

A. Have You Seen the Tree?

B. The Most Beautiful Tree

C. One of the Wonders in Nature

D. The Precious Moment in Life

Veteran（經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的）rock climbers are calling her one of the most promising climbers in the world. She flies up, grasping the rock and heading gracefully for practically non-existent（不存在的）holds. She’s only 14. Ashima Shiraishi, the New York-born teen, has shaken up the climbing world. At 1.55 meters and 45 kilograms, Ashima might not look like the groundbreaking athlete. But she could be, though still young, the first female climber whose accomplishments go beyond gender.

The evidence: At just 14, Ashima has already made history in the sport. She won the American National Youth Bouldering Championship（美國(guó)青少年攀巖錦標(biāo)賽）every year from 2010 to 2014. And last March, the young climber completed the “Open Your Mind Direct” course in Spain. It’s a very big deal because the course, with a hold broken off near the top, is widely considered one of the hardest in the world. Only one woman and a small number of men have ever conquered it. She first learned to climb on rocks in Central Park when she was only six. Her father, who works as a dancer, is her coach. At age nine, Ashima went on a bouldering（攀巖）trip to Texas. Falling brought tears to her eyes, but she didn’t give up. Now, she finds she “couldn’t live without climbing.”

For the past six years, Ashima has been a climbing legend. Her love for the sport has taken her around the world. There have been articles and photo spreads（橫貫兩版的照片）in newspapers and sports magazines, films, countless online video clips, and an appearance on Time Magazine’s list of America’s most influential teenagers.

“I think people are shocked if I do something they can’t do or because I’m still very young and I’m a girl,” Ashima says. “In most sports, men lead the way. But with climbing, who knows, maybe women will be leading. Doing something that a guy can’t do is pretty special.”

1.As for Ashima Shiraishi, we know ________.

A. she is a great young rock climber

B. she can always find climbing holds that don’t exist

C. she doesn’t look like an athlete at all

D. she is the first female climber in the world

2.Which of the following is true about the course “Open your Mind Direct”?

A. Climbers can take the course only in Spain and America.

B. It is not difficult to finish the course.

C. Climbers have to finish it without any holds at near the top.

D. Not many climbers have done well in it.

3.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.

A. she wants to try other events in sports

B. she wonders why people are shocked

C. she expects to do better in rock climbing

D. she decides to try anything men can do

4.The passage mainly focuses on ________.

A. A Rock Star in the Climbing World

B. The First Female Rock Climber

C. A Most Influential Teenager in America

D. The Champion of American National Youth
