“This is the third time that you have been late , Julia . Why?”Mr. Malone stopped Julia as she walked by his desk. Julia explained , “I’m sorry . I was cleaning the tables in the science room . So meone spilled （洒）the chemical , so cleaning took me longer than usual . ”

Mr. Malone replied . “I’ve talked to you about your lateness . I am afraid you won’t be able to go with us in the field trip .”“But…” Julia cried . Mr. Malone stopped her . “Unless your parent co mes in to discuss this with headmaster and me , you won’t be attending . ”

After dinner , Julia found the courage to talk to her dad . She told about the messy science tables and how her science teacher would deduct（减去）points from their daily grades if they did not clean up . Her friends’ next class was on the opposite side of the building . Since her class was nearby , Julia volunteered to help clean up so that her friends would not be late . Then she explained how this would prevent her from attending the school trip . Her dad watched her for several seconds . Finally , he simply said , “I’ll be there right after school .”

The next day after school , Julia walked to the office . Her father and Mr. Malone were already there . Mrs. Thompson , the headmaste r , spoke , “Julia , why were you cleaning the science tables alone ?”

Julia answered slowly ,“I guess no one wants to clean up , and I don’t want my friends to get into trouble . ”“But you got yourself in trouble . ”Mrs. Thompson said . Julia nodded . Julia’s dad continued , “You’re still responsible for breaking the rules ; even if it was for a good reason . Do you have any ideas for a punishment ? ” Julia shook her head hopelessly .

“Normally , your lateness would prevent you from attending some schoo l activities . However , I have considered the reason and will allow you to go on the trip . ”Mrs. Thompson said . Julia jumped out of her seat , repeating , “Thank you , thank you , thank you ! ”“Don’t be too excited . You’ll have a one-day detention (课后留校) for each lateness . ”Mrs. Thompson warned , “I hope you won’t be late again . ”

“No , madam , I won’t .” Julia replied , smiling from ear to ear .

Do you know th at some people don’t do their reading assignments（任务）？It’s

shocking , but it’s true . Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned in c lass . There are many reasons for this . They may be unwill ing to

focus . They may be unconfident readers . Whatever the reason is , it has to stop

today . Here’s why .

Reading stimulates（刺激）your mind . It is like a workout for your brain . When people get old , their muscles begin to weaken and their strength leaves them . Exercise can prevent this loss . The same thing happens to people’s brains wh en they get older . Brain power and speed decline with age . Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines . You can benefit from reading in the near-term , too .

Reading provides knowledge . Knowledge is power . Therefore , reading can make you a more powerful person . You can learn to do new things by reading . Do you want to make video games ? Do you want to design clothing ? Reading can teach you all this and more . But you have to get good at reading , and the only way is to practice .

Reading expands your vocabulary . Read everything that you can at school , no matter whether you find it interesting or not . Even a “boring” text can teach you new w ords . Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself . You will be abl e to speak , write and think more intelligently . What’s boring about that ?

Reading can change the way that you understand the word. Do not just discount(忽视) a text because it is unfamiliar to you . Each time you read , you are introduced to new ideas and given broader views on things . You can learn how people live in faraway places . You can learn about cultures different from your own . Reading is good for your state of mind . It has a calming effect . It can lower your stress levels and help you relax . You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read , and it’s a positive escape.

The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a fool . So do yourself a favor : the next time you get a reading assignment , take as much as you can form it . Squeeze（挤压） it for every drop of knowledge that it contains . Then move on to the next one.

48. Some people don’t read because

A. they have many other activities

B. they are confident about themselves

C. they are bored or unwilling to focus

D. they could hardly understand the texts

49. The writer probably agrees that__________.

A. reading helps you to remain calm

D[:Z&xx&k]

As the word becomes increasingly populated , It is also Becoming alarmingly polluted . Fortunately , there are many ways that you can help deal with the negative effects that

we impose（施加）on the environment . One of these is driving an electric

car.

Electric cars produce about 80 pe rcent less pollution than cars with gas-powered motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plants-electric cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sou rces such as power plants, it’s easier to control, so there’s less waste than if the energy is produced by many small er sources, such as the gas engines in individual cars.

Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, electric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car , the battery has a chance to recharge (再充电).On the contrary , when you brake in a gas-powered car ,you actually use energy . Also, during the production of electric cars, more time and energy is spent making the design lighter and more aerodynamic so that there will be less drag(阻力) from the wind. This allows

then to travel farther usi ng less energy than a gas-powered car would use to go the same distance.

In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars , there are also financial and time-saving benefits for the drivers . For one , they cost less to maintain (维修). The cost of charging an electric car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars . This is due , in part , to the fact that electric cars have no cooling system , fan belts , radiators , hoses , or oil-just a battery . There are fewer moving parts overall , so there are fewer possible problems . Also , after the body of an electric car gives out , the engine can be reused in another body . Electric cars can also save people time . While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic every few months , the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.

Overall , there are numerous benefits of driving an electric car . Tt may take a little getting used to , but in the long run , the use of electric cars can help preserve the environment and give people more time and money to be put to better use.

52. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. Less than 80 percent pollution is produced by cars.

B. Gas-powered cars get energy from power stations.

C. Electric cars themselves don’t produce any waste.

D. It’s difficult to control energy from power plants.

53. According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE?

A. The battery can be reused after the body of an electric car gives out.

B. Replacing the engine every four years is required for an electric car .

C. It may take no time to see the popularity of driving electric cars.

D. Electric cars cost less to maintain because of fewer moving parts.

54. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To compare two kinds of cars.

B. To show a new way of driving.

C. To suggest driving electric cars.

D. To introduce a useful invention?

55. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. The Best Way to Protect the Environment

B. Electric Cars are Worthy of a Second Look

C. The Greatest Invention in the New Century

D. Driving Electric Cars Saves Times and Money

Christmas. 56 .Certainly, I attracted lots of customers.

My main job was to send gifts to the children.57 .I bring a sense of magic

to them and I was also enjoying myself. But I was puzzled（迷惑）by a young boy

who paid for a second visit, and then surpri singly f or a third. The gifts were really very small. There were only some candies, stickers and cards. 58 . He answered simply,“I just love talking to you.”

It was then that I realized that many parents do not encourage their children to talk.59 .Everyone wants to know they’ve been heard and understood. So it is important to listen to children an d give them the full attention. It is also a way to show children the proper way of listening,to be polite and to gain

a better understanding.

60 .So, at home, at work, socially, always encourage family, friends, colleagues to talk about themselves and their feelings and really listen.

A. They were so excited about getting gifts.

Think about the distance（距离）you traveled in the last six months of your

life. About how many miles（kilometers）did you go？Lucid went quite a distance.

On March 22, 1996，she started a journey. She traveled 188 days, 4 hours，and 14

seconds in total. This is a little over six months. So what distance did Lucid travel?

She went 75.2 million miles（1,203,200,000 kilometers）!

How could Lucid go so far? How could she journey so fast? Lucid was an American

astronaut and she was in space. She lived on a space station. The space station was the Russian space station Mir. She lived and worked with two Russian astronauts.

On Mir,it was hard for Lucid to know what day it was.Why?Mir did not stay in one place.It orbited the Earth.It went around the Earth.Mir’s orbit meant that darkness did not mean the day was over. Darkness fell many times during a 24-hour period.Darkness fell about every 45 minutes. Lucid did something to help her remember what day it was. She wore pink socks on every seventh day. The pink socks reminded Lucid about

something else,too. The pink socks helped Lucid remember that Jell-O would be served for dinner. On Mir,Jell-O was a special treat. It was only served on Sunday.

Lucid worked hard to deserve the honor of working on Mir. She went to school for a long time.She was one of the first six women to be accepted into the astronaut-training program. She flew on several American missions. When accepted for Mir, she had to learn Russian in less than 18 months. On Mir, Lucid conducted many experiments. One experiment she conducted was with wheat. Lucid grew wheat. Growing plants in space was important, because green plants could provide oxygen and food for space travelers.

61. When did Lucid start the journey?

62. Did Lucid live on a space station?

63. How did Lucid remember what day it was?

64. Why was growing plants in space important?

Hi !Jim,

I’m glad to hear from you. Welcome to Beijing. In China, we are supposed to shake hands when we meet someone for the first time. And we are not supposed to eat first when older people are at the table.

For students, it is necessary to be polite to others. At home, we never start talking until our parents finish their words. At school, greeting teachers and schoolmates is considered polite behavior. We always stand up when we talk to our teachers. Be sides, when we are in public places like museums or libraries, it’s important to keep quiet.

In a word, showing enough respect for others is the secret to getting along with people both in China and in other countries.

I hope you’ll enjoy yourself in Beijing.

Yours,

Li Hua

In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However,

that ’s exactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly

a whole year.

Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of making it through the year without spending any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn ’t hesitate(犹豫) to look for food in the dustbins (垃圾箱).

But this year has been quite difficult. The soil(土壤) in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate there was terrible as well. They kept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square(平about the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. If you are interested in

方)-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to take a shower. What’s worse, they had to share a toilet with the re st of the community.

Even though they had no jobs, they didn’t have a lot of free time to waste. They spent most of the day working for local farmers planting vegetables and picking fruit so that they could earn their next meal. They had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs. But when there wasn’t enough food for them, they had to go to look for food in the dustbins.

Not everyone is brave enough to do this. But they really made it work and they felt happy.

Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles(车辆) and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止) in China since January 2011. Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.

First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动) smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe(呼吸) in the smoke and suffer(受苦，患病) from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled(控制).

Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.

Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them. Thus the number of te en smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘) and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.

Smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率). Employees(雇员) who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.

If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.

49. __________ isn’t a non-smoking place.

A. A field

B. A hospital

C. A library

D. A restaurant

50. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us __________.

A. banning smoking is good for restaurants

B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers

C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases

D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers

51. According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means __________.

A. men

B. women

C. adults

D. teenagers

52. Which of the following statements in NOT true?

A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.

B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.

C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.

D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.

Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to beat—this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it “the most complex(复杂) thing we have discovered in our universe”.

Can this small grey organ(器官), which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains(包含) about 100 billion neurons(神经元)—it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).

So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in

your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your b rain’s unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory(感觉的) organs.

But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends “bike riding” messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.

53. From the passage we know that neurons __________.

A. receive messages very slowly

B. are only found in your skin

C. send messages to your brain

D. need electricity to work

54. When you have a new thought, __________.

A. your brain will power a light bulb

B. your heart beats faster

C. you remember something

D. the structure of your brain changes

55. The article is mainly about __________.

A. all the steps when your brain learns things

B. what an unbeliev able organ the human brain is

C. how the brain makes people smarter than computers

D. the things you can do to make your brain work faster
