第二部分阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

A

Cyril was a small town. The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. People were puzzled who was the real firebug (纵火犯).

One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro(黑人) had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street. However, there were fires breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.

Mauson, a physics teacher, didn’t believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, and decided to find out who the real firebug was. One day, he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He dashed out of the pub to his friend’s house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to prove his idea.

The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen to come to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time, the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room. “Now,” said Mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at eac h other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!

The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldn’t believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science.

56. The town was never peaceful, for fire broke out ________.

A. on Sundays

B. on summer afternoons

C. at any time

D. on winter mornings

57. Why did the police arrest all the Negroes?

A. Because one of them had been seen to set on a fire.

B. Because they were suspected to be the firebugs.

C. Because the police hated the Negroes.

D. Because the Negroes knew something about the fires.

58. Drinking in a pub, Mauson realized ________.

A. he needed to leave the pub

B. he needed to back the bottles

C. it was too hot in the pub

D. who was the real fire bug

59. By making an experiment, it was proved that the real firebug was ________.

I began to grow up when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house that winter night, and my mother said that we would soon leave for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I cried

because I could not bear the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again. I also had to say goodbye to my dear friends and relatives. I thought about the new country I was going to see—the strange place I had known only from books and pictures.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost—having to study in three schools because of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she came down from there, “She succeeded him as the queen of the country”.

The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊),

watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a

large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new

hotel Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.

The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests,

so a clever “railway service” has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes

slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.

There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:

---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.

---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.

---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming

out at night. He hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives

in the trees at Treetops. He comes for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him,

as his teeth and claws（爪）can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely

pets.

66. The underlined word “succeeded” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.

A. did what she was trying to do

B. gained her purpose

C. replaced someone in an important position

D. completed an easy task

67. According to the text, “railway service” actually r efers to __________.

A. the service provided at the railway station

B. the supply of food on the train

C. the service provided along the railway

D. the supply of food along a moving line

68. Which of the following statements about “the cat-like animal” is wrong?

A. It comes for food only at night.

B. It lives in the trees at Treetops.

C. Its teeth and claws can do people harm.

D. It can catch any other animal in the forest.

69. According to the text, Treetops is famous in the world because ________.

A. it shows the pleasure of America

B. Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from there

C. it is built around several trees

D. there are many animals that can be trained and become lovely pets

If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport.

In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing.

Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and require practice to get

good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.

There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is the most common type and

the climber need to climb with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top

roping, is called lead climbing. In both of the types, the climber can sit off the wall

and rest on the rope. The third type is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free

climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.

Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.

Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.

71. What does the author think of rock climbing?

A. It is an easy sport.

B. It is challenging.

C. It is quite dangerous.

D. It is extremely difficult.

72. From the text we know that _____________.

A. indoor rock climbing is much easier than outdoor rock climbing

B. while rock climbing, people depend mainly on their arms

C. ordinary people can practise rock climbing

D. during climbing, the climber can always stop for a rest

73. While climbing, it is much easier for a rock climber if he __________.

A. takes a rope

B. has a partner

C. has three points touching the wall

D. uses feet more often

74. __________ will make rock climb easier.

A. Keeping the body closer to the wall

B. Resting more often on the arms

C. Resting more often on the feet

D. Pushing forward without thinking of the problems

75. By rock climbing, one can _______.

A. get more weight and stronger muscles

D. probably feel quite defeated

第三部分：书面表达（共两节，满分45分）

第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分１5分）

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

[1] The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.

[2] Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.

[3] The question is, why do they have this addictio n? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

[4] Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can ______. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.

76. List three activities that might develop into addictions based on the text.

(Please answer within 8 words.)
