Long long ago, a general was planning an attack on the enemies, and he wanted very much to know whether his soldiers would be successful, but he had no good way of getting news from the front. So he asked his officers to help him.
He was told that a good pigeon could carry news. The bird arrived, and a soldier was ordered to carry it and to keep near one of his officers. The officer was asked to write about the success or failure of the attack on a piece of paper, fix the paper to the bird's leg so that it could send messages the general wanted.
The attack began and the general began waiting for the news. The general walked up and down impatiently, and the eyes of the officers were fixed on the sky. No pigeon could be seen. The general's face grew serious; he had to know if the attack was successful.
Suddenly came a cry,“The pigeon!”All eyes looked up into the sky. The bird arrived. It had done its duty nobly(極好地). Round one leg of the pigeon's was a piece of paper.
The message was removed from the bird's leg and brought to the general in a hurry. He opened it anxiously and read it.
The words on the paper were“I completely refuse to carry this stupid bird about any longer.”
(1)The pigeon was used to ________.
[ ]
A．send news
B．make the general know his position
C．guide the soldiers in the fighting

[ ]

任務型閱讀 （共10小題，每小題1分，滿分10分）
認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的橫線上填入最恰當的單詞。
注意：每空只填一個單詞。
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.
1). Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time fro entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2). Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room. Free from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3). Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what your teachers say.
4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5). Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

We all know that everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men’s minds decline more than women’s, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
General differences seem to be natural in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel be good at recalling information from their brain’s files. Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.
Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that may not have shown such cognitive(認知的) decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
【小題1】According to the passage, which of the following can NOT be typed into the same category?
| A．cloud | B．sheep | C．trees | D．goose |
| A．Men do better than women when it comes to learning English. |
| B．Women stand out at remembering people’s names. |
| C．Women do well in dealing mathematic problems. |
| D．Men excel at typing as many words as possible in the given time. |
| A．women live longer than men |
| B．people surveyed are all old |
| C．the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline |
| D．people taking part in this test came from all over the world |
| A．women’s minds perform better than men’s |
| B．men’s minds decline more with age |
| C．everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older |
| D．a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently |

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.
Choose larger aircraft. www.7caiedu.cn
Although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem repetitious (重復的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (氣流).
Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
1.What is the overall reason for these air safety tips?
A. What to do in the event of a crash.
B. How to avoid turbulence.
C. How to improve safety while you are flying.
D. How to avoid injury.
2. The underlined word "those" in the second tip refers to _______.
A. smaller planes B. passengers
C. larger aircraft D. safety records
3.The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth tip refers to _______.
A. anything the flight staff tell you to do B. general safety advice
C. walking around the plane D. pouring hot drinks
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.
B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.
C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.
D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.
5.The best title of the passage should be _______.
A. The Safest Way to Travel B. Air Safety Tips
C. Non-stop Routes D. How to Fly a Plane
