Jumping across citiesForget
the new sport in cities is free-running. Since it started in a Paris suburb around 1995, free-running has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world. Instead of walking normally, free-runners jump over or around anything―cars, buildings, trees, or streetlights―in their way.One of the sport’s inventors told our reporter how free-running started.It was boring where we lived. There was nothing for us to do after school. We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting. We started learning how to jump and run between buildings―and we loved it. Walking is a waste of time. Free-runners have to use their imaginations. Everything―a tree, a streetlight―is part of our outdoor gym. We’re like children because we have never stopped playing in the street.The sport’s website has lots of rules, for example, don’t break people’s windows, don’t jump on flowerbeds and don’t be rude to people who want you to stop. Safety is also very important. You must start with the easy moves―you have to do thousands of small practice jumps before you try anything difficult. If you made only one mistake, you might hurt yourself badly.A local person said, “It’s good that young people have something to do. But when they jump off buildings like cats, they sometimes frighten other people.”Don’t try this at home: the basics of free-runningBlind Jump: a jump where you can’t see the landing spot.Tic-tac: run and put your foot on a small step, go forward and jump over the next thing.Basic Jump: run and jump, land on two feet while bending your knees. To finish roll into head-over-heels.Cat Jump: run towards a wall, put both hands on the top of the wall and jump through your arms.【小题1】Free-running started __________.
A．about twenty years ago
B．with the help of schools
C．in big cities of America
D．among famous sportsmen
【小题2】Free-runners shouldn’t ____________.
A．use their imaginations
B．start with the easy moves
C．jump on flowerbeds
D．run between buildings
【小题3】According to the passage, free-running is a（n）__________sport.
A．ancient
B．expensive
D．exciting
【小题4】The purpose of this passage is to ___________.
A．explain the importance of outdoor activities
B．introduce some information about free-running
C．warn children not to join in dangerous sports
D．advise people to do more exercise at home first
答案【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】D【小题4】B
解析试题分析：文章大意：本文文章作者向读者介绍一些免费跑步的信息以及一些基本技巧。【小题1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段Since it started in a Paris suburb around 1995, free-running has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world.可知免费跑步在20年前的巴黎郊区开始流行。故A正确。【小题2】细节理解题。根据文章第四段The sport’s website has lots of rules, for example, don’t break people’s windows, don’t jump on flowerbeds and don’t be rude to people who want you to stop.可知不可在花坛运动。故C正确。【小题3】细节理解题。根据文章内容可知A、B、C三个选择项与原文的事实不相符合，只有D项符合。故D正确。【小题4】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了免费跑步的优点，故作者其目的是向读者介绍一些免费跑步的信息，故B项正确。考点：考查健康类短文阅读
Mrs. Obama spoke to the graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. High School on Saturday in her only high school commencement（毕业典礼）speech this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of Tennessee State University.The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her time in college focusing on academe achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a good job, she said, she ended up focusing on public service. “My message to you today is that don’t waste a minute living someone else’s dream,” she said. “It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy and you won’t find what you love simply by checking mailboxes or surfing the net.”She said MLK reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago. “My No.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement. Unfortunately, schools like this don’t exist for every kid.” she said. “You are blessed.”The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers, and that how they respond determines what they will become. “That’s when you find out what you’re really made of in those hard times,” she said. “But you can only do that if you’re willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail.” Overcoming difficulties has been the mark of many great people, she said, “Oprah was demoted（降职）from her first job as a news reporter, and now she doesn’t even need a last name,” she said of media giant Oprah Winfrey “And then there’s this guy Barack Obama, I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures. He lost his first race for Congress”, the first lady joked, “and now he gets to call himself my husband.”【小题1】When choosing her high school, Mrs. Obama ________.
A．was willing to meet challenges
B．was pushed to make a choice
C．failed to find an ideal school
D．wanted to study law
【小题2】By mentioning Oprah’s example, Mrs. Obama wanted to tell graduates _______.
A．to start as a news reporter
B．to work hard to get promoted
C．to be brave enough to risk failing
D．not to waste time doing what they dislike

A．This was the first time she gave a speech to graduates.
B．She complained about her school life in her speech.
C．She is a graduate of Tennessee State University.
D．She is enthusiastic about public service.
【小题4】Where can you probably find this text?
A．In a politics book.

Halloween falls on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago.The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day marches in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray（祈祷）for the family's dead relatives.The act of giving out soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for homeless ghosts. The practice, which was referred to as "going a-souling" was finally taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given sweets, food, and money.The tradition of dressing in costume（服饰） for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies were often not enough because people were afraid of the darkness and would stay at home without doing businesses.On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would meet with ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for their fellows(同伴).On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to satisfy the ghosts and prevent them from trying to enter their houses.【小题1】Halloween is a day_______.
A．respecting the old

In America, square dancing has been the most popular form of folk dancing since the early days. In early times, when men and women worked in groups to build a barn (谷仓) or harvest crops, they danced when the work was done. The music came from the violin for the most part, but if there was no one to play a musical instrument, clapping was used to produce the rhythm to which people dance. The early settlers danced in a store, in a barn, or in a farm kitchen.A square is formed by four couples （对）who stand facing the centre of the square. Each couple stand on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right.The caller is an important part of the dance, since he tells the dancers which steps to do. If the dancers do not know the steps, he teaches them. It takes time to learn to be a good caller, and good callers are always in demand（被需要）.These are the names of some of the steps the dancers do: F C H S Form a star. There are many more. As the callers tell the dancers what to do next, they move to form the pattern（图形）he calls.Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be only one square of eight people.Special clothes are worn by some when dancing. This makes the dance more colourful to watch. The special clothes are different from place to place. Women often wear full skirts of various colours with a pretty blouse. Men have coloured shirts and western trousers that they wear only when square dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.Today in some parts of the United States you will find some schools, clubs, or groups square dancing for fun.【小题1】From the passage we know that square dancing came from_______.

Ask any student to say one thing they know about Charles Dickens, and it is very likely they will say Oliver Twist. His classic tale of a poor orphan boy strikes at the heart of all those who have ever wanted "more", as Oliver did.And now, Dickens' classic scenes of the lives of the Victorian British poor will appear in a big screen movie, "Oliver Twist," an adaptation of his classic tale directed by Roman Polanski.The new film is not meant for younger viewers, and is meant for children over 13. For those old enough to enjoy it, however, the film shows just how long people have been enjoying Dickens' remarkable literature. His short stories and essays began appearing in magazines in 1833. "Oliver Twist" was published in 1837 - more than 165 years ago."Oliver Twist" tells the story of an orphan forced to live in a workhouse headed by the awful Mr Bumble, who cheats the boys who work there out of their already low pay. Oliver decides to escape to the streets of London, where he meets a thief called Fagin, played by Sir Ben Kingsley, who leads him into a world of crime. Several of Dickens' books have been made into films and television series, including 2002's "Nicholas Nickleby" and 2000's "David Copperfield." And several versions of "A Christmas Carol" have entertained audiences for years.In his novels, Dickens wrote about several important issues. He talked about the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1824 in "Oliver Twist"; the French Revolution in "A Tale of Two Cities"; and helping the poor in "Hard Times.” One of Dickens' best-known books is the first Christmas book he wrote - "A Christmas Carol" (1843), about a mean man.We thought this would be a good time to take a look at the man behind the words and see what kind of experiences helped shape and affect one of the best — known writers of all time.【小题1】The “workhouse” in paragraph 4 should be ___
A．a building where people are kept as a punishment for a crime they have committed
B．a place where dancing is taught or trained for international performance
C．a building where very poor people were sent to live and given work to do
D．a place where films are made or music is recorded
【小题2】How many works are mentioned in the passage?A.

A．he is forced to live in a workhouse by Roman Polanski
B．he meets a thief, Fagin, in the streets of London
C．he lives a hard life in his childhood
D．Fagin trains and forces Oliver to do some crimes
【小题4】The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ___
A．Dickens’s birth and schooling
B．Dickens’s work experience
C．Dickens’s works and themes

However, quite different from traditional ones, a new library which opened last month in San Antonio, Texas, US is very special in the thing —there is not a single book in it.In fact, the world’s first “bookless” library, known as BiblioTech, looks more like an Internet café—instead of bookshelves. It has iPads, laptops and desktop computers to use on site and 500 e-readers for members to borrow. Most importantly, there is no printed material, reported Time.“Our digital library is stored in the cloud, so you don’t have to come in to get a book,” Laura Cole, BiblioTech’s special projects coordinator, told CNN. The library at the moment has a collection of 10,000 e-books and is trying to add more.The idea of a bookless library no longer seems new since e-books have been around for quite some time. At the end of 2012, 23 percent of Americans aged 16 and older read e-books, up from 16 percent the year before. At the same time, the proportion(比例) of Americans who read a printed book fell from 72 percent to 67 percent.“Not all libraries are going to be like us,” Nelson Wolff, a local official told CNN. “But we surely do hope it’s going to drive them to do so. The world is changing, and libraries can’t stay the same —if they want to stay connected with the changing world.”Also, located in a low-income (低收入的) neighborhood where 40 percent of families don’t have a computer and half are not available(可获得的) to broadband Internet service, BiblioTech provides digital convenience to people who lack it.All in all, the newly-born library, though young, may be promising in the future soon to come.
