After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack.Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him. “When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong. “They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccuped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.（）46.Harry's hiccups lasted ____.A. a weekB. fourteen daysC. twenty-eight daysD. one month（）47.His hiccups started after he ____.A. drank a glass of waterB. went to hospitalC. ate an Indian mealD. finished his homework（）48.His parents decided to take him to hospital when he ____.A.

Looking a little tired, Yang stepped out of Shenzhou V, smiling and waving at the waiting people. “I feel very good.”Yang said to Premier Wen Jiabao on the phone. Yang said to a newspaper, “For our motherland and me, this is a great moment.”China’s launch of Shenzhou V shows a higher starting point. It has two special systems（系统）to protect the spaceman, but neither Russian rockets（火箭）nor American ones have.Yang didn’t know that he was chosen as China’s first spaceman until just before the launch. Although Yang was excited at the news, he still slept at 8p.m. as usual and was woken up at 8p.m. the next morning. Before the launch, Yang ate Chinese traditional food-dumplings. We all know that travelers usually eat them before going on a journey for good luck.A stamp Success of China First Manned Space Flight was issued（发行）on October 16, 2003, making China the third country to send a spaceman into outer space.( )56.

China issued the stamps to _________.A. leave them in spaceB. give them to Yang Liwei as a rewardC. celebrate the successD. give them to Russian and American spacemen.DExperts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds”in China, he has to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.( ) 61. The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________.A. he didn’t have enough sleepB. it wasn’t time for him to get upC. he didn’t want to go to schoolD. he wanted his mother to wake him up( )62. In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may________.A. become too weak to sleepB. not work well in classC. go to bed earlyD. be weak in English( )63.

According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.B. Sleeping less means working hard.C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.D. Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do.第二卷笔试部分（共35分）五、首字母填空（共5小题，计5分）66.I want to travel, e______________to English-speaking countries.67.Keeping p__________, such as dogs and cats is more and more popular among young and old.68.Have you ever h_______________ of the interesting story?69.Would you m_______________ turning down the music?70.He has been c________________ stamps for five years.六、短文选词填空（共10小题，计10分）But、become、go、and、wok、meet、wake、watch、copy、wear、lie、doMr Beckman 71 in a company for nearly twenty years.

Jonesie agreed and began to take action. Jonesie spent several nights waiting for the lion, but it never came out.Finally, Jonesie told the village leader to kill a cow and give him its hide (皮). He would wear the hide and pretend to be a cow so that the lion would come out. This way, he could get a chance to kill the lion. After putting the cow's skin over his shoulders, Jonesie went to a farm to wait for the lion.In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the sound of shouting coming from the farm. They thought Jonesie was in danger and quickly ran to the farm. When they arrived, they saw Jonesie lying on the ground, groaning (呻吟) in pain.

Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount(数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.46. In southern China, people usually buy ________ at a time.A. a small amount of foodB. a large amount of foodC. enough food for a weekD. a lot of meat and vegetables47.
