While other kids ate candy for 41 , I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was 42 the other kids’ too. But at 43 , I wasn’t alone since my sister and two brothers had the same mean(刻薄的) mother as I did.My mother knew where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and 44 we were doing. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in 45 by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep 46 noon like our friends. So while they slept, she made us work. We had to washdishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. I believe she lay 47 at night thinking of mean things to do to us.Through the years, things didn’t 48 a bit. When we didn’t want to 49 school, we could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did. My mother, being as different as she was, would care only about our marks.Out of four children, a couple of us received higher 50 . None of us have ever done 51 things. Each of my brothers devoted his time to this country. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children 52 my mother. I will feel 53 when my children call me mean.Mother’s love to 54 can be rather deep, yet this very love must help children grow away from the mother, and to become 55 independent(独立的). Now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world. I’m proud of my mother!( )41. A. breakfast B. lunch C. supper D. dinner( )42.

In the legends, Robinwas extremely smart and humorous, he helped strangers, and later his kindnesspaid off.The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was just a young man, who wasgood at archery (射箭术). One day he was walking through Sherwood Forest, a royal hunting forest near Nottingham in England. There he got into trouble with a group of men. Among them, he killed the cousin of the Sheriff (郡长) of Nottingham. Robin became a legendary outlaw, and soon the leader of one hundred outlaws, known as his "Merry Men".Robin and his "Merry Men" always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them. Then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became most famous for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. "The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin’s greatest enemy. He was cruel and treated the poor badly. It was his job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king’s deer. He hated Robin because Robin was an outlaw. But most of all, he hated Robin because everyone else loved him. The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his "Merry Men", but never succeeded.61. What was Robin Hood like according to the passage?A. Clever and full of fun.B.

Which is the right order of what happened in the story?① Robin became the leader of a group of outlaws.② Robin asked the rich people to Sherwood Forest.③ Robin killed the cousin of the Sheriff of Nottingham.④ Robin gave poor people the gold he took away from the rich.A. ①④②③B. ②③①④C. ③①④②D. ③①②④65.

Havea look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) of thefood. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, orpotatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get toyour plate. This journey, from "field to plate", is called "food miles". A food mileis the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this, and what are the effects (影响) of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import (进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE) , for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.What's wrong with "food miles" ? Is this not a good way of increasing(增加) international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.( )66. What is called "food miles" according to this passage?A. The origins of the food.B. The effects of long distances.C. The journey from field to plate.D. The disadvantages of imported food.( )67. The underlined word "available" in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.A. easy to getB. not busyC. willing to talkD. impossible to get ( )68. Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of _______.A. long distancesB. difficult climatesC. fresh and tasty foodD. modern technology ( )69. The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to_________.A. buy more local foodB. increase international tradeC. travel long distanceD. use imported materials( )70. This passage is mainly about _______.A. how local food travels from field to plateB. what "food miles" is and its effectsC. how some countries import their foodD. where different kinds of food come from第二部分(65分)五、词汇运用(15分)A．根据括号中所给的汉语提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，每空一词。
