One day in early July, a huge dead whale was found on a California beach. It caused many problems because the smell was bad, and it was unhealthy for the people at the beach. Officials put a rope around the dead whale and used two boats to pull it into the ocean. At first, the whale was too heavy, so the rope broke. They tried again later and were successful.However, this was not the last time the whale returned to a California beach. In the next two weeks, the same dead whale came back to a different beach. Each time boats pulled the whale back into the ocean, it came back due to the ocean tides. Finally, after taking the whale back to the ocean six times, the officials decided they must do something different. They decided they must cut the body of the dead whale and bury the pieces.Biologists aren’t sure why the whale died, but they believe it was old and died naturally.1.What was the incident at a California beach in early July?A) A huge whale was pulled from the ocean.B) A huge whale was sent back to the ocean.C) A huge dead whale was found by people.D) A huge whale broke a rope and two boats.2.Why did the same dead whale come back from the ocean?A) It was pulled by ropes and boats.B) It was pushed by the ocean tides.C) It was brought back by a large boat.D) It was too heavy to stay in the ocean.

[听力文本资源] Is there a state religion in the United States? The answer is no and the reason goes back to the early days of America's history. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, many Europeans moved to colonial America in part to escape religious pressure. Thomas Jefferson and other early American leaders purposely designed a national government that had no established religion. They wanted to build a country that included many religions, where citizens were free to follow their own beliefs. The First Amendment to the Constitution supports "the separation of church and state." President Jefferson himself used this expression. In 1802, he sent a letter to a religious group in the state of Connecticut, saying that the First Amendment works by "building a wall of separation between church and state." For example, the Supreme Court ruled in 1948 that religious classes could not be taught in public schools. In 1962, the Court decided that public schools could not require students to say prayers. Even though there is no state religion, there is a large, beautiful religious center in the nation's capital called the Washington National Cathedral. Many services of national interest have been held there. These include the funerals of three American presidents and national prayer services. This church receives no federal money and operates entirely on private donations.[听力文本资源]1. [听力文本资源] What kind of country did the early American leaders intend to establish?

[听力文本资源] The fact that you haven’t heard of Chris Paul doesn’t bother him. His whole life has taught him that there are more important things than basketball. During one high school game, Paul scored 61 points in honour of his grandfather, who, only a few days earlier, was murdered; one point for every year his grandfather lived. When Paul reached the 61-point mark, he intentionally missed a free throw, and then took himself out of the game even though the state scoring record of 69 points was well within reach. Paul left university after his sophomore year and entered the NBA. He was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets. At the end of his first season he was voted the NBA’s new player of the year. In 2005, a hurricane destroyed New Orleans. The Hornets were forced to play most of their games in another city. Seeing the tragedy first-hand and watching the city try to rebuild has put basketball into focus for the Hornets players. Paul, whose nickname is CP3, established the CP3 Foundation in 2005. In 2006 he received the NBA’s Community Assist Award, for outstanding contributions to his community. This season the Hornets are back in New Orleans full-time. Every time the Hornets win, it is like New Orleans wins a little too. If they keep their success it may ease some of the pain that still remains in the city.
