OLIVIA Engel, 6, was going to play an angel in the Christmas play this year. Yet on Dec 14, 2012, she, along with 19 other children and six adults, was killed.

A man named by the police as Adam Lanza, aged 20, shot and killed his own mother on the morning of that day. Afterwards, he drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, US, and shot and killed 20 children and six women. Finally, he killed himself. The police still do not know why he did that.

US President Barack Obama openly cried as he spoke about the killing. He told the parents of the children that “You are not alone in your grief (悲痛). All across this land of yours we have cried with you.”

When this kind of shooting has happened recently, people have had special ways of showing their grief. They have lit candles, and left flowers by the scene of the tragedy (悲剧). This is very much the case again. Those who died in Newtown were very young children aged from 5 to10.

The tragedy has raised more questions about gun control in the US. 21. How many people did Adam Lanza kill before he killed himself?

A. 19.

B. 27.

C. 25.

D. 28.

22. We can tell from Paragraph 3 that President Obama _________.

A. spoke loudly to show his anger

B. felt angry and wanted the killer to die

C. felt sad and tried to comfort (安慰) the parents D. asked the whole country to donate money

23. What did the sentence “This is very much the case again” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. This is not a big problem.

B. This makes people happy again.

C. This is an unimportant event. D. This happened again.

24. What does the writer of this passage really want to express (表达)? A. Barack Obama felt very sorry about this tragedy.

B

Have you ever noticed the black and white bars (条状物) on books? Do you know what they are used for?

They are barcodes (条形码) used in most products. If you go to a supermarket, you can see almost every product with a barcode on it. Barcodes contain (包括) information about the products, such as names and production date. It’s an easy and convenient way to keep track of the products. Just scan (扫描) the bars with a barcode reader and everything is clear.

The first use of a barcode in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974. Beyond supermarkets, barcodes are needed everywhere: for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life will be rather hard without barcodes. Most things would get lost in the post.

Barcodes change as well. Barcodes in the past were 1-D (one-dimensional), but now there are 2-D (二维码), such as QR (正方形点状码) has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums, cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of barcodes.

C. All the people should not use guns in the USA. D. Young children should be protected.

If you find these barcode things boring, a barcode building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there are games too. Barcode Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan barcodes and find the monsters (怪物)!

25. The black and white bars on books are called __________. A. QRs

B. products

C. barcodes

D. monsters

26. Where do we use a barcode?

A. At supermarkets. C. In the post.

B. At the train station.

B. Most of our things would get lost in the post if we use barcodes. C. Life will be very easy with barcodes. D. All of the products have barcodes.

28. What’s the best title of this passage? A. We Can Live Without Barcodes B. Small Barcodes Make a Big Difference C. Science Develops Too Fast D. You Must Have Your Own Barcode

C

In all fine weather, my father and I used to climb the mountain near our house. Walking together, we used to talk a lot. From our conversations, I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.”

Without the mountain climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got so much from mountain climbing. It gave me time to have talks with my father in souls (灵魂) and it helped develop my patience as well.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so hard for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. Time passed, and then both of my legs hurt. I really wanted to give up. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see its beauty before you reach the top. Only there at the top, you can see all the nice things, just like in life.”
