13、 “The hound(猎犬)!” cries Holmes. “Come, Watson! Come.”
We run quickly over the moor(荒野). We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we approach(靠近) we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.
“Oh, no!” says Holmes, “This man has a beard!” Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.
“So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Selden—his wife's brother.”
“Then Selden is dead because of this suit,” says Holmes.
“Think, Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henry's clothes—probably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henry's scent and runs after this poor man.”
Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, “There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right.”
“Really?” asks Holmes.
Stapleton looks at Holmes. “Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles?”
Holmes shrugs his shoulders,“We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I will return to London tomorrow.”
“Oh, will you return to London tomorrow?” “Yes.”
So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton walk to his home.
Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof that Stapleton is the murderer. “There are no marks on Sir Charles's body. We know that he died of fright, but we can't prove anything.”
“Things are becoming clear to me,” Holmes says to Sir Henry. “It's a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound.”
We are surprised to see one portrait(画像) of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And he's like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. “Stapleton is a Baskerville,” replies Holmes. “So he wants to inherit(继承) the Baskerville fortune, and he…,” I say. It's an important clue. 1．The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 7 probably means “ ”. A．taste
B．boot
C．suit
D．smell.
2．We can infer(推断) from the passage that . A．Sir Henry tells Holmes that Stapleton is a Baskerville B．Stapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeed
C．Watson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapleton's brother D．Stapleton kills Selden by frightening him with the hound 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Holmes and Watson think Mr Barrymore murders Selden. B．Holmes doesn't catch Stapleton because he has no proof.
C．Holmes and Watson find the dead body of Stapleton on the moor one night. D．Holmes tells Stapleton that he and Watson are going back to London.

14、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
1．The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______. A．plants are important for life B．plants cannot grow without air C．there are many plants in the world D．we can not live without water
2．What can we infer(推断) from the passage ? A．Spores are seeds
B．Without plants, man will die out C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds D．Of all living things animals are most important
3．This passage may be taken from______. A．a medicine book B．a novel
C．a science magazine D．an experiment repor

15、One of the easiest and cheapest ways to help your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night, but more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health
Organization, over half the people in the world may besleep-deprived. The result of this is not just a lot of tired people; in the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 car accidents, and 1,500 deaths a year. Problems with sleep can also cause mental （心理的） problems, as well as medical problems such as high blood pressure and heart problems.
American culture values work and often doesn’t value sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are often called “lazy”. Many famous men say proudly, “I only have time to sleep four or five hours a night.” Students, especially college students, often sleep only a few hours a night. They often say, “I’m used to sleeping only a little.”
But according to experts, sleep is like money. If you sleep only five hours a day, you don’t “get used to it”, but instead, build up a “sleep deficit （亏损）”. “It’s like a credit card （a card used to buy things or services）,” says Dr. James Maas, “You are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back.” The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should sleep to “pay back” the hours on your “sleep credit card”. For example, if you sleep four hours on Monday and then sleep eight hours on Tuesday, on Wednesday you will still have a “sleep deficit” of four hours. This deficit can continue for months or even years. People with a “sleep deficit” are sleep-deprived. Driving and making decisions can be dangerous for these people. Another research shows people should sleep nine or ten hours every night. More than half the people in the world may be running a “sleep deficit”. You didn’t do your homework last night? Maybe you can tell your teacher that you were working hard on your sleep deficit.
“Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day. That’s a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more,” said Winston Churchill. 1．How many hours do we need to sleep every day if we want to keep healthy? A．7. B．6. C．11. D．8.
2．What does the underlined word “sleep-deprived” mean? A．Easily sleepy. B．Having difficulties falling asleep. C．Short of sleep. D．Afraid of sleeping.
3．From the passage we know sleep-deprived people ________. A．are easily tired
B．most likely cause traffic accidents
