When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase 36 and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I’m leaving.”

“If you want to 37 , that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I 38 my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.

“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “I want your 39 back. You didn’t wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 40 , “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”

I was so 41 that I slammed（砰地关上）the door and stepped out on the front porch. 42 I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking toward our house. I ran to 43 behind a big tree in

英语试卷第3页（共26页）英语试卷第4页（共26页）

our yard at once. After a while, I was 44 the girls had passed by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.

“Who’s there?” I heard.

“It’s Billy! Let me in!”

The voice behind the 45 answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, c’mon, Mom! I’m 46 your son. Let me in!”

Section C (12 marks)

Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.

When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “48 the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat（变瘪）49 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem, 50 created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.

The ball is made of 51 special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It’s lightweight, it’s flexible, and—52 important—it holds its shape.

The One World Futbol needs no pump 53 won’t wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, 54 withstood（经受住）being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.

Although it costs more to produce 55 a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. Part ⅢReading Comprehension (30 marks)

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at https://www.360docs.net/doc/981116538.html,. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as https://www.360docs.net/doc/981116538.html,, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAY AW AY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ h ave attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day).

56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.

A. help travelers pass time

B. attract lots of travelers to the UK

C. allow travelers to make flexible plans

D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation

57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.

A. a hotel away from the train station

B. the tube line to Covent Garden

C. an ideal holiday destination

D. the name of a travel agency

58. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.
