A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)

There was a time when New York City buildings were almost all the same height. Today you can see buildings of different heights that seem to touch the sky. They are called skyscrapers (摩天大楼).

They shape the famous New York City skyline.

It started about 90 years ago. It began like a race. This wasn't a race down the street or around a track (跑道). It was a race for the sky. Who was racing? Buildings were. Their builders were actually racing to build the world's tallest skyscraper.

The race started slowly.

First came the Woolworth Building, in 1913. It rose 792 feet on the southern side of the city. From far away, it looked like a thin castle floating (漂浮) in the sky.

Then the race heated up.

In1930, two skyscrapers were nearing completion. The Bank of Manhattan Building was finished first. It rose up to 927 feet into the sky. Builders were then putting a round roof on the top of the Chrysler

Building. It shot up to 925 feet. The Bank of Manhattan, two feet taller, seemed to be the winner. A big party was held to celebrate its victory.

A few weeks later, New Yorkers saw a strange sight. The day that the Chrysler Building was to be completed, workers raised a shiny metal spire (尖顶) through the top of the building, adding 121 feet to the building's height! At 1,048 feet, the Chrysler Building was now the world's tallest.

But the race was not over. A year later, in 1931, the Empire State Building became the new winner. At 1,250 feet, it was the world's tallest building.

In 1973, even that record was broken. Builders finished the twin towers of the World Trade Center. At 1,368 feet high, they rose above all other buildings in New York City.

Time goes on. As technology improves, taller buildings are being built. The race is still on.

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)（12

The Internet is full of false information. It is important for us all to stay away from being fooled by such information. Here are three examples of Internet hoaxes (欺骗).

On his website, a man has asked for gifts of money to 75 the life of a pretty little rabbit named Toby that he rescued under his house. A cat must have attacked the rabbit, the man said, so he took it in. He gave Toby loving care and nursed him back to good 76 . However, the greedy man also said if he didn't receive enough money, he would eat poor little Toby. (Don't worry, though. Remember, it's just a hoax!)

While the streets of New Orleans were still suffering a flood after a terrible hurricane (飓风), a 77 e-mail was sent around the Internet. It included a photograph of a huge crocodile (鳄鱼) over five meters long. According to the message, it had been swimming around the flooded city eating people. It was later 78 that the photographs of the crocodile were of one that was caught in the Congo years before.

The following e-mail hoax takes in many people. It says that a large company will pay you to send their e-mail to as many people as possible. For every person that you send the e-mail to, it promises you will 79 receive $5.00; if he goes on to send it to someone else, you'll get $3.00; and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $1.00. To make the lie even more believable, the sender says that 80 he thought it was a hoax, but the company soon sent him $800.00.

75. A) miss B) save C) compare D) damage

76. A) health B) service C) medicine D) education

77. A) pleasant B) precious C) frightening D) hardworking

78. A) organized B) invented C) praised D) discovered

79. A) certainly B) hardly C) possibly D) mainly

80. A) in time B) in return C) at first D) at present

C) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容

通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）

Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special ways of communicating. One way is lip (嘴唇) reading. With training, people can learn to understand what someone is saying by looking at the m 81 of the speaker. Speaking is possible but difficult for the deaf. Because they cannot hear their own voices, it takes a lot of training to be able to make the c 82 sounds, and not all deaf people can get this skill. The way of communicating is sign language, which is the most useful in real life.

In many ways, sign language is s 83 to spoken languages though actually there is some difference. The "words" of sign language are its signs. The signs are formed with movements of the hands, face and body. Each sign has a different meaning. Signs are mixed up to form sentences. The basic sign language is hand signs that take the place of letters. The signs, which are put together, can e 84 the

same thoughts, feelings and so on as a spoken language. And just as different countries usually speak different languages, most countries have their own variation (变化) of sign language.

In addition to knowing sign language, it is also helpful to know s 85 about how deaf people communicate. Hand waving or hitting a table or the floor to get someone's attention is fine. Also, lots of eye c 86 is necessary. Information can be read from their eyes. Lastly, it is good to remember that most deaf people s 87 think of themselves different from other people, and you don't have to, either! D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

There was once a rich man who loved money more than anything else in the world. He didn't know exactly how much money he had, so he hired a little girl to count all his money for him. It took the little girl six days to count all the money. When she told the rich man that he had forty-two million dollars, he was full of joy and asked, "How much pay do you want?" The little girl said, "Well, I worked for six days, so I think you ought to pay for six days. Give me two pennies for the first day. Each day after that, just give me the amount you gave me the day before, multiplied by itself." The rich man was happy because in this way he would only have to pay her a very few dollars. What a foolish girl! So he immediately had his lawyer signed a contract, fearing that she would change her mind. On the first day, the rich man paid her two pennies, and on the second day, two pennies times two - four pennies. Each day after that, he gave her the number of the pennies he had given her the day before, multiplied by itself. And by the sixth day, the rich man had to give the little girl all his money she counted.

Walking through the winter park, the trees stand cold and bare. The wind has shaken their yellow leaves to the ground. As I keep walking, a noise in the background is becoming louder and clearer. Now, 100 meters ahead is a group of women who are moving their arms and legs to the music. They are the dancing aunties. It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you're likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that surprised me. That's because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. Usually, people just take a walk for exercise in the parks. Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines. Some people find them annoying, but others respect their rights to dance in public.Most of them are middle-aged. Most of them have raised whole families.There is no more work for them, and their kids have left. Personally, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves from Monday to Sunday. Sometimes I even join them on Tuesday evenings to have pleasure and enjoy some peace. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older.
