第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A.
Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5: 30 and at 6: 30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped(绊) over Sheba.
“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet(兽医).
When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.
“Listen, doctor, I’m really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”
“Sure.” said the doctor.
Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor's voice. “I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”
At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.
“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.
“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now.”
Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
“My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”
“I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat: it turned out to be three human fingers.”
56. Joanne wanted to get back to her home again _____.
A. to dress up for the meeting
B. to phone the police station
C. to catch the badly hurt burglar
D. to wait for her dog to be cured
57. From the passage, we can infer that _____.
A. Sheba fought against the burglar
B. the police found the burglar had broken in
C. Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting
D. the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog
58. In this passage, the writer intends to tell us that the dog is _____.

B. friendly
C. frightening
D. devoted
B

Dear Editor,
Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning (禁止) all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.
These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.
The City Council claims that local businessmen, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.
Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the same kind of tire for $9. Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.
Wes Woodrow
9th-Grade Student at Brockingham High School
63. Why does Wes Woodrow write this letter to the editor?
A. Because the government bans all fast-food restaurants and discount stores in Brockingham.
B. Because the writer can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2.
C. Because a family of four can’t find a restaurant in Brockingham to eat dinner for less than $100.
D. Because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.
64. From the letter we can infer that _________.
A. the writer used to buy a lot of ice-cream soda
B. the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurants
C. the government’s ban benefits local businessmen much
D. discount stores usually offer a discount of 40%
65. The underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means _________.
A. cheap, not expensive
B. surprising, not expected
C. harmful, not helpful
D. doubtful, not sure
66. One way the writer of this letter tries to convince the reader is by _________.
A. complaining that someone has to drive him to Parkersburg
B. getting an after-school job in fast-food restaurant himself
C. suggesting that many businessmen have the same opinion
D. giving specific examples of the high costs in Brockingham
D.
Is technology making us unhealthy? Are computers affecting our health? Many people think high—tech products have affected us because we spend more time playing on computers, watching TV and using our mobile phones to talk, text and play games.
Our bodies: Levels of obesity are rising, especially young children. But this isn’t just a problem about what we eat. Many people, especially teenagers, like sitting in front of TV sets or computers for hours, just watching or playing games. As a result, they do less exercise.
Our brains: Research into the effects on the human brain while playing computer games is ongoing. Recent studies have looked at the impact on beta brainwave activity, which is important for emotional development, planning and self-control. Though we haven’t evidence to show how it affects us, researchers think that tiredness may affect the levels of beta brainwave activity, and sitting in front of a TV set or computer for a long time easily causes one to feel tired. So parents who don’t want to spoil their children’s fun should control the time they spend on the computer.
Communication: As leading computer game consumers, are we spending too much time in front of computers? Does it mean that we spend less time communicating with other people? What effect does this have on our lives?
It certainly seems that children today are spending more time indoors than their parents did when they were young. Children used to play in the streets or in parks regularly. Today, empty parks clearly show how “play time” has changed because of advances in affordable technology like home computers.
67. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. We can only use computers to play games instead of doing other things.
B. Teenagers today take less exercise than their parents when they were young.
C. Research has shown how playing computers games affects our brains.
D. Parents should keep their children away from computers for their health.
68. The writer uses the example of “empty parks” to show______.
A. the parks today are not so attractive for people as before
B. home computers have taken the place of parks
C. technology h as affected the children’s “play time”
D. children today spend more time in the streets instead of in parks
69. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. obesity has nothing to do with what we eat
B. parents mustn’t allow their children to play c omputer games for their health
C. we should keep away from computers to keep healthy
D. parents should limit the time their children spend on computers
70. This passage mainly talks about _______.
A. why some teenagers become very fat
B. technology is harmful to young people
C. the effects of technology on young people
D. parents should encourage children to do more exercise
第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
71 . Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!
72 .Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 73 Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters. 74 However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?
Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and ove r again.
75 Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad — it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you. A. You can train you temper.
B. You don’t want to cause trouble.
C. Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones.
D. Everybody gets angry sometimes.
E. In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.
F. Instead of thin king of the person you’re angry with, think of something else.
G. Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.

How an unbelievable scene! A modern young couple were eating fruit in public and had thrown a plenty of waste on the ground. When an old cleaner came to clean up, the man was very angry. He points at the cleaner, saying in a loud voice,” How impolite ! They haven’t finished eating ! ” “How could people behave such badly ?” I thought. Obvious, in their eyes, they c ould do all that they liked and ignore other’s feelings. In my opinion, we should pay attention our behavior, obey public rules and respect other people’s work. We should know that civilized people are those who has good manners but a beautiful mind all the time.

One possible version:
Nowadays, it is a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talents, and it is a way to release their pressure. But many parents and teachers hold different views. They think that managing a blog will waste a lot of time and energy.
In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Nowadays the Internet is playing an important role in our life. We can’t ignore its influence. Therefore as high school students in the so-called Information Age, we need to learn and make the most of this useful tool to communicate and display ourselves. Whether the blog is of harm or not depends on your attitude towards it. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.
