One day, when I was in the 10th grade in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his 35 . I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?” I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders(聳聳肩) and went on.
As I was walking, I saw some kids run at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping (絆倒) him, so he fell to the ground. His glasses went flying and I saw them 36 in the grass. He looked up and I saw terrible 37 in his eyes. My heart went out to him. As I 38 him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. We 39 all the way home, and I carried some of his books. I asked him if he wanted to play 40 with my friends. He said yes. We played all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Graduation (畢業(yè)典禮) day, I saw Kyle. He looked great but I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I said, “Hey, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled. “ 41 .” he said. xKb 1.Co m
He started his speech, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those 42 years. Our parents, our teachers, maybe a coach but 43 our friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him. I’m going to tell you a story.” I just looked at my friend as he told the story of the first day we 44 . He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He looked at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was 45 .” I heard the gasp (喘息) go through the crowd as this 46 boy told us all about his weakest moment.

六、閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中,選擇選項(xiàng)。(共26分,每小題2分)
A
How to keep fit
Running
Running will help you lose weight faster than any other activity. It also strengthens (加強(qiáng)) your heart, lungs, and leg muscles (肌肉). But it can hurt your joints (關(guān)節(jié)). If you feel ache in your knees (膝蓋), you need to stop and choose a different activity.
Walking
Walking puts less stress (壓力) on the body than running. But you need to get your heart beating faster to see results. This means you’ll need to walk fast. Walking can also help you lose weight.
Swimming
Swimming is a great way to strengthen different parts of your body. But it is not a good way to lose weight. The water in a swimming pool is cooler than our body temperature. The body naturally protects itself from the cold by keeping fat.
Cycling
Riding a bicycle will help you lose weight and work leg muscles. But be careful! If you live in the city, you should stay on bike path and away from traffic.
47. Running can strengthen your ______.
A. feet B. eyes C. knees D. heart
48. Cycling can help you ______.
A. work leg muscles B. see results C. keep fat D. walk fast
49. You can choose any activity to lose your weight except ______.
A. running B. walking C. swimming D. cycling
B
When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes, think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale. There are labels (標(biāo)簽) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry-clean only”. Washing may ruin (毀掉) this coat. If you do as the directions say on the labels, you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry-cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You will save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better-made. They don’t always fit better. Sometimes cheaper clothes fit better than more expensive clothes.
50. The labels inside the clothes tell you .
A. how to save money B. whether they fit you or not
C. how to keep them looking best D. where to get them dry-cleaned
51. From the passage we know that cheaper clothes .
A. must be dry-cleaned B. can not be washed
C. are always worse-made D. can sometimes fit better
52. The best title for the passage should be .
A. Buying Cheaper Clothes
B. Being a Clever Clothes Shopper
C. Taking Enough Money When Shopping
D. Reading the Labels Inside New Clothes

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect (昆蟲), is found in England. It is light brown in colour and likes to settle (定居)on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be found and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.
But with the development of industry (工業(yè)), smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange happened in industrial areas. The Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years. Some scientists soon noticed that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist called Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon (現(xiàn)象). He marked (作記號) some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured (再捕獲) as many marked moths as possible. The results were as follows:
Light moths Darker moths
Moths set free 201 601
Moths recaptured 34 (16%) 206 (34%)
Kettlewell’s research was done in the early 1950s. Soon Britain brought in new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.
Can you imagine what would happen to the Peppered Moth as the air became cleaner again?
53. The Peppered Moth began to change its colour in industrial areas because .
A. it itself liked to
B. it had to keep the environment
C. it was polluted by the smoke from factories
D. it could be like the colour of its living place
54. From the results of Kettlewell’s research, we can see that .
A. some light moths became darker ones
B. much more of the light moths were killed
C. more darker moths were killed in industrial areas
D. less than 1/5 of the light moths were being killed
55.The passage is mainly about .
A. Kettlewell, a great scientist
B. the moths that changed colour
C. the results of the moths set free and recaptured
D. the reason why the government made new laws to stop pollution

Around noon on October 7, 2005, my Russian-born wife Nafisa gave birth to our daughters, Lara and Hana. I had lived in the United States for over 20 years, but moved back to Pakistan in 2000 to be with my father during the final years of his life (he died in October 2004). I was working as a school principal (校長) in Islamabad.
After spending the day at the hospital, my mother and I went home at about 9 p.m., while my sister Elmira stayed on with Nafisa and the babies. I was so excited that I hardly slept that night. Nafisa had asked me to bring her some fresh fruit, so the next morning I drove to a market next to the Margalla Towers. At the same time, my mother stayed at home.
Just before 9, as I was picking out some apples and bananas, the ground started to move from side to side. The shaking (抖動) became stronger and the air filled with strange noises. Everyone in the market rushed outside and started crying. Finally, after several minutes, the earthquake (地震) stopped. Part of the Margalla Towers had fallen down. People covered with blood (血) could be seen everywhere.
Later I learned that when the ground started shaking, Nafisa and Elmira carried the babies and rushed out of the hospital. By the time my mother and I arrived at the hospital, they were resting on the grass. Just as we were moving back into the building at about 3 p.m., another strong shaking hit.
The aftershock (余震) continued for several days. Whenever the shaking started, we just held the babies and tried to calm (使平靜) each other. We felt completely helpless. Still we were among the lucky ones. The earthquake had destroyed much of Kashmir — thousands died and many more were left homeless. Many of our friends had been killed.
My school reopened a few days after the earthquake. The following weeks at the school were full of worries. During the aftershocks, I had to sound the alarm (警報(bào)) to all 3,000 students and 300 teachers. Much of the time the school was strangely quiet. The students stayed in small groups rather than run around and play. As a principal, I was used to telling students to keep quiet and calm. Now I started to miss all that noise.
Like so many people in Pakistan, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find out why we had to experience this terrible earthquake. I now believe life wanted to teach us a lesson. One minute I was on top of the world and the next I was at the bottom.
56. How many people were there in the writer’s family when the earthquake happened?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
57. Where were the writer and his family when the earthquake began?
A. They all stayed in the hospital except the writer.
B. Some were at home, and the others in the hospital.
C. Most of them were in the hospital but two weren’t.
D. Each of them had his own place except the babies.
58. The writer missed the noise at school because ______.
A. he would have nothing to do without noise
B. he looked forward to the return to usual life
C. he loved everything created by the students
D. he became used to noises in the earthquake
59. The underlined sentence in the passage means ______.
A. life is often made up of happiness and sadness
B. good things are always followed by bad things
C. one can’t be successful in life without difficulty
D. when you are too excited things will go wrong

It was midnight. Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his watch. 60 “Who can it be at this time of night?” He thought. He decided to go and find out. 61 He went to the door quietly. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. “This is very strange. I really heard the bell ring just now.” Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his clothes, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.
62 Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. 63 He picked it up. There were some words on it: “It is now after midnight, so it is April Fool’s Day. April Fool to you!”
“Oh, it was the English boy next door!” Mr. Lee shouted and almost smiled. He went back to bed and fell asleep at once. The bell did not ring again.
A. So he got off bed and put on his clothes.

八、閱讀短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。(共10分,每小題2分)
As everyone knows, the law in most countries nowadays demands (要求) that all children receive an education. However, do you know that a number of parents make special arrangements to educate their children at home? This happens mainly to the children who have serious health problems or learning difficulties, or are especially gifted (有天賦的).
Whatever the reason, there are certainly some advantages of educating children at home. First, they can learn at their own speed, spending more time on the subjects which they find difficult. Second, it is easier for them to pay attention since they don’t have the distraction (分心) of noisy classmates. Finally, they learn more in a one-to-one situation, as they get the full attention of the teacher.
On the other hand, learning at home is not without drawbacks. For one thing, children who do not go to school lack (缺乏) experience of making friends with other children. As a result, they do not learn the social skills needed in later life. Moreover, they are less motivated (激勵) to work hard, because they have no one to compare their progress with and to compete against.
All things considered, I believe children should go to school. Education is not only a matter of learning facts — children also need to learn how to get along with others, and to develop their personalities. I feel they can only do this by mixing with other children in a school environment.
64. Do all children receive an education at school nowadays?
65. What kinds of children do parents educate at home?
66. How many advantages of educating children at home are mentioned?
67. How do children learn social skills at school?
68. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

Walking puts less stress (壓力) on the body than running. But you need to get your heart beating faster to see results. This means you’ll need to walk fast. Walking can also help you lose weight.
Swimming
Swimming is a great way to strengthen different parts of your body. But it is not a good way to lose weight. The water in a swimming pool is cooler than our body temperature. The body naturally protects itself from the cold by keeping fat.
Cycling

When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes, think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale. There are labels (標(biāo)簽) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry-clean only”. Washing may ruin (毀掉) this coat. If you do as the directions say on the labels, you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry-cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You will save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better-made. They don’t always fit better. Sometimes cheaper clothes fit better than more expensive clothes.

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect (昆蟲), is found in England. It is light brown in colour and likes to settle (定居)on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be found and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.
But with the development of industry (工業(yè)), smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange happened in industrial areas. The Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years. Some scientists soon noticed that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist called Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon (現(xiàn)象). He marked (作記號) some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured (再捕獲) as many marked moths as possible. The results were as follows:
Light moths Darker moths
Moths set free 201 601
Moths recaptured 34 (16%) 206 (34%)
Kettlewell’s research was done in the early 1950s. Soon Britain brought in new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.

Around noon on October 7, 2005, my Russian-born wife Nafisa gave birth to our daughters, Lara and Hana. I had lived in the United States for over 20 years, but moved back to Pakistan in 2000 to be with my father during the final years of his life (he died in October 2004). I was working as a school principal (校長) in Islamabad.
After spending the day at the hospital, my mother and I went home at about 9 p.m., while my sister Elmira stayed on with Nafisa and the babies. I was so excited that I hardly slept that night. Nafisa had asked me to bring her some fresh fruit, so the next morning I drove to a market next to the Margalla Towers. At the same time, my mother stayed at home.
Just before 9, as I was picking out some apples and bananas, the ground started to move from side to side. The shaking (抖動) became stronger and the air filled with strange noises. Everyone in the market rushed outside and started crying. Finally, after several minutes, the earthquake (地震) stopped. Part of the Margalla Towers had fallen down. People covered with blood (血) could be seen everywhere.
Later I learned that when the ground started shaking, Nafisa and Elmira carried the babies and rushed out of the hospital. By the time my mother and I arrived at the hospital, they were resting on the grass. Just as we were moving back into the building at about 3 p.m., another strong shaking hit.
The aftershock (余震) continued for several days. Whenever the shaking started, we just held the babies and tried to calm (使平靜) each other. We felt completely helpless. Still we were among the lucky ones. The earthquake had destroyed much of Kashmir — thousands died and many more were left homeless. Many of our friends had been killed.
My school reopened a few days after the earthquake. The following weeks at the school were full of worries. During the aftershocks, I had to sound the alarm (警報(bào)) to all 3,000 students and 300 teachers. Much of the time the school was strangely quiet. The students stayed in small groups rather than run around and play. As a principal, I was used to telling students to keep quiet and calm. Now I started to miss all that noise.
Like so many people in Pakistan, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find out why we had to experience this terrible earthquake. I now believe life wanted to teach us a lesson. One minute I was on top of the world and the next I was at the bottom.
56. How many people were there in the writer’s family when the earthquake happened?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
57. Where were the writer and his family when the earthquake began?
A. They all stayed in the hospital except the writer.
B. Some were at home, and the others in the hospital.
C. Most of them were in the hospital but two weren’t.
D. Each of them had his own place except the babies.
58. The writer missed the noise at school because ______.
A. he would have nothing to do without noise
B. he looked forward to the return to usual life
C. he loved everything created by the students
D. he became used to noises in the earthquake
59. The underlined sentence in the passage means ______.
A. life is often made up of happiness and sadness
B. good things are always followed by bad things
C. one can’t be successful in life without difficulty
D. when you are too excited things will go wrong

It was midnight. Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his watch. 60 “Who can it be at this time of night?” He thought. He decided to go and find out. 61 He went to the door quietly. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. “This is very strange. I really heard the bell ring just now.” Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his clothes, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.
62 Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. 63 He picked it up. There were some words on it: “It is now after midnight, so it is April Fool’s Day. April Fool to you!”

八、閱讀短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。(共10分,每小題2分)
As everyone knows, the law in most countries nowadays demands (要求) that all children receive an education. However, do you know that a number of parents make special arrangements to educate their children at home? This happens mainly to the children who have serious health problems or learning difficulties, or are especially gifted (有天賦的).
Whatever the reason, there are certainly some advantages of educating children at home. First, they can learn at their own speed, spending more time on the subjects which they find difficult. Second, it is easier for them to pay attention since they don’t have the distraction (分心) of noisy classmates. Finally, they learn more in a one-to-one situation, as they get the full attention of the teacher.
On the other hand, learning at home is not without drawbacks. For one thing, children who do not go to school lack (缺乏) experience of making friends with other children. As a result, they do not learn the social skills needed in later life. Moreover, they are less motivated (激勵) to work hard, because they have no one to compare their progress with and to compete against.
All things considered, I believe children should go to school. Education is not only a matter of learning facts — children also need to learn how to get along with others, and to develop their personalities. I feel they can only do this by mixing with other children in a school environment.
64. Do all children receive an education at school nowadays?
65. What kinds of children do parents educate at home?
