The boy looked at me 46 . Then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 47 it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a 48 piece , I felt more 49 than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 50 it.

The boy gave me a 51 look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone 52 . That really made me feel silly, but it was 53 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I 54 I’d made a mistake.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案, 选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships (苦难) in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!

Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.

As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched (丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.

We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!

56. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. No pains, no gains

B. Growing pains and gains

C. Growing up is a pain

D. Growing up is easy

57. The underlined word “obstacles” (in Paragraph 2) refers to things that _____.

A. make it easy for you to do sth

B. make it difficult for you to do sth

C. make you happy

D. make you full of energy

58. What does the author now think about what her parents did for her in the past?

A. She is angry with them.

B. She is dissatisfied with them.

C. She is thankful to them.

D. She couldn’t forgive them.

59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Growing pains are part of our life.

B. Our growing pains will finally turn into growing gains.

C. We should stop when facing many challenges.

D. Life without challenges is boring and meaningless.

B

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals (间隔) each day.

Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work

The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2, 500 calories per day and not gain any weight.

Low-fat Diets Do Not Work

Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However,

people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.

Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this

a habit, they will lose weight.

60. What is the main reason why people are overweight according to the author?

A. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.

B. They eat food with lots of calories.

C. They don’t take any weight l oss pills.

D. They burn many calories every day.

61. The article is written in order to _______.

A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food

B. tell readers how to lose weight

C. tell readers about an important scientific discovery

D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy

62. To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.

a. do exercise every day

b. eat meals at the right time

c. eat fruits and vegetables

d. eat low-fat or sweet food

e. eat the proper foods at each meal

A. a, b, c, d

B. a, b, d, e

C. a, c, d, e

D. a, b, c, e

C

The United States is full of cars. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.

Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to

drive into the city in order to get supplies.

Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors’ as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.

More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

63. The United States is filled with cars, but ______.

A. not every family has a car

B. few families have two cars or even more

C. every American has a car

D. every family has a car

64. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. Workers drive cars to offices and factories

B. Salesmen drive to carry their products.

C. Farmers drive into cities to get supplies

D. Cars are widely used.

65. Which statement is true according to the third paragraph?

A. Small children must be driven to school.

B. All children go to school by bus in some cities.

C. Mothers drive their children who can’t walk to school.

D. School buses pick up all children.

66. Mothers form car pools in order that_______.

A. they can drive to school

B. they can take turns driving their children to school

C. they reach school quickly

D. they can drive their children to school in time

D

The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.

Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.

Spa ce holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.

Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.

The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.

67. Homes of the future will ________.

A. be completely different from those of today.

B. be very similar to our homes

C. all be different form one another

D. be movable as you want

68. Space trips and staying in space hotels will _________.

A. become a very common way to spend a holiday

B. be the cheapest holiday option for families

C. attract a lot of people

D. still only be for very rich people

69. E-paper will replace traditional paper because _________.

A. young people like it

B. it won’t waste natural resource

C. it will be cheaper to produce

D. it will be convenient to carry

70. We will have to move to another planet ________.

A. if we want to save the human race

B. if we want to live a better life

C. when the earth explodes

D. when the earth is too crowded to live on

Ladies and gentlemen,

Good morning! I’m Li Xin. I feel it an honor to give a speech here about, “What I Want to Learn in Senior School.” Actually, what I want to learn most are as follows.

To begin with, I am supposed to have good learning ways and habits to make certain that I will learn well. Clearly, successful study is based on good ways and habits. Furthermore, a class is like a family where I should get along well with others. But how can I? As we know, only if we are sincere and kind to others, can we have good relationships with them. Finally, I will learn to develop good qualities like being determined, being optimistic and so on. Of course, don’t forget to set a dream and make all efforts to realize it. It is our determination that helps us to challenge difficulties and it is a dream that leads us forward.

I believe I will live my life to the fullest in senior school.

Thanks for listening.
