It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I h ad paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”56. The boy ate up the raw fish head only in two gulps, because he __________.A. enjoy itB. wanted to taste itC. took it as a good medicineD. was a foolish boy57. The boy came to the fisherman in order to __________.A. buy a fish headB. ask the fisherman a questionC. become clevererD. A and C58. “Not in my head” means “__________”.A.

The boy paid three pounds. He should have had __________.A. a whole fishB. a fish head and one pound backC. a whole fish and one pound backD. a whole fish, a fish head and one pound back60. __________ helped the boy become cleverer.A. A good mealB. The raw fish headC. NothingD. What had happenedBWill it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.61. The results of the test show that ______A. breakfast has a great effect on work and studies.B. breakfast has much to do with people’s health.C. a person will work better if he has simple breakfastD. breakfast only affects those who work with their brains.62. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don’t eat bre akfast, you will____.A. not lose weightB. be healthierC. gain weightD. lose weight63. We can infer from the passage that _____A. one can work better without breakfast.B. morning diet will do good to your health.C. reducing lunch and supper will help lose weight.D. breakfast is more important than lunch and supper.64. What is the best title for this passage?A. Good BreakfastB. Why Eating Breakfast?C. No eating, No gainingD. What is breakfast65.In which part of a newspaper will the passage most probably appear?A Business B.Culture C Education D HealthCAre you worried by the rising crime rate(犯罪率)?

Statistics Part IV Writing (35marks)Section A (10marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us. To prevent the world being polluted by car, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to ride bikes to travel and go to work. But this change does not come easily-many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.Title: Cars and Pollution in Americaproblem 72._________ Disadvantages 73.________71._________Building a new kind of74._______Progress in this field is75.______Americanswill live a 80.__________life.It takes years to developa 76._____77.________ on thenumber of carsMany workers will79._________Travelling and goingto work 78._________Section B (10marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

But with the development of technology, we are able to enjoy shopping online without going out of the house.Here I would like to share my first shopping experience online with more people.One day, when I was surfing the Internet, I clicked into a shopping website by accident. I lost my watch just in that time and wanted to buy another one, so I decided to have a try. I clicked into more subpages to have the details. There were many goods which looked very beautiful. Finally, I chose a steel watch and contacted with the shopkeeper. Then I went to remit(汇款) money the next day even though I knew there was a risk. After that I waited for five days, but I received nothing. I’m very disappointed. I thought that I must have been cheated. I could do nothing if the shopkeeper didn’t send the watch to me. Unexpectedly, I received my watch the other day and I was very satisfied with the watch because it was the same as the picture I saw on the Internet.From this experience, I learned that although there is a risk when we are shopping online, we can enjoy more goods without going out and walking form one shop to another.81W hat makes if possible to enjoy shopping online?(No more than 4 words) (2’)82How did the author know about the online shopping?(No more than 7 words) (3’)83How did the author feel about the watch bought from the Internet?(No more than 2 words) (2’)84According to the author, what’s the risk while shoppi ng online?(No more than 4 words) (3’)Section C (15marks)书面表达:根据以下提示:用英语介绍剧作家乔治. 萧伯纳(George Bernard Shaw)的生平,要求写120字左右。

They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, pat them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people.

However, none of them come even close to Holi, India’s most color ful and fun festival. Celebrated on the day following the full moon, this year’s festival happens to be on March 19th.As with most Indian festivals, this one also has many different folk stories. Most of them center around the success of good over evil. The most popular one is about a king, who hates his son Prahlada for loving the creator of the Universe—Lord Vishnu. When every attempt to stop him fails, his sister, Holika believed to be immune(免疫的) to fire, joins in the effort by inviting the young boy to sit with her inside a huge fire. Helped by the power of Lord Vishnu, Prahlada escapes safely, while the evil Holika is burned to death. To remember this event, huge outdoor fires are lit in the night before Holi in order to clean the air of evil spirits and to celebrate the death of the evil.So what’s so great about this day? While there are some fun parades(游行) and folk songs and dance performances, the most fun of all is walking to the streets and splashing(泼洒) people with water guns and dry colors and even covering them with entire buckets of colored water. On this day, everybody is fair game, no matter how old or how young.At about midday, the splashing comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers usually take a bath in the water to clean themselves before going home to a delicious home-made big dinner and a well-deserved short sleep, following this full day of fun and activities.64. Why does the king dislike his son Prahlada?A. Because Prahlada doesn’t love him.B. Because Prahlada is rude to Holika.C. Because Prahlada loves Lord Vishnu.D.

At 13,my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgement and I begged my parents to let me go.We have never been rich,but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months,any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!Of course,I wasn't signed,but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes. $500 for a photo shoot,and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions,but with every day I didn't receive a call,I grew more depressed. The_final_straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City.We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting,only to be told that I was too short. I was devastated (极度不安的).Years later,I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling,just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal.
