I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 11 and at the same time feeling lonely.

AEveryone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge(报复)of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres? Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained A’s in every subject. Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A’s in two college-level courses.How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer. “Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students,” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students. “Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天生的)abilities counts for more. Much more.”In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes don’t do as well as classmates with lower IQ. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.Hard work isn’t the whole story, either. “It’s not how long you sit there with the books open,” said one of the many-A students we interviewed. “It’s what you do while you’re sitting.” Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.31. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A. Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.B. People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students.C. Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.D. Straight-A students are well admired by people in society.32. Some students become super-achievers mainly because ________.A. they are born cleverer than othersB. they work longer hours at studyC. they make full use of their abilitiesD. they know the shortcut to success33. What will be talked about after the last paragraph?A. The interviews with more students.B. The role IQ plays in learning well.C. The techniques to be better learners.D. The achievements top students make.34. What can we infer from the passage?A. IQ is more important than hard work in study.B. The brightest students can never get low grades.C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developments.D. Students with average IQ can become super-achievers.BMegan was, in fact, one of the few people in Johnstown that day who actually saw the extremely big wave that destroyed the entire city.At first, all she could see was a black mist. It rolled toward the house in a large mass like smoke. For a moment Megan thought there must be a huge fire somewhere. But the following noise convinced her it was something else—a deep, heavy sound, like some enormous mill wheel turning. The black fog moved swiftly over the house, and then the air seemed to clear for one split second. There, almost on top of her, was a huge wall of debris-filled(夹带碎片的)water, much higher than the house.Megan walked around and around in the house, the cry dying in her throat. Suddenly there was a tremendous crash. Megan saw the boards of the attic(阁楼)floor torn open and oily yellow water suddenly streaming up.Then it seemed as if the air were filled with flying objects. Showers of broken glass winged a thousand tiny arrows, and chairs with the legs torn off went whistling by. Everything in the attic seemed to be flying around through the air.Wildly, Megan reached up, her hands grasping at everything to lean on. She found herself hanging from a rough board, the lower half of her body being in water.How long she was there in the heavy darkness she would never know. She was choking and spitting as the evil water surged about her, then falling over her face.After what seemed a lifetime in the thunderous blackness, Megan lifted her head. Far above her she could see a bit of dirty gray light. With a kind of blind animal instinct(本能), inch by inch she worked her way painfully through a mess of wood toward a tiny wedge of light.35. When she saw a black mist rolling, Megan ________.A. was taken by surpriseB. was extremely worriedC. was preparing for the worstD. didn’t realize danger was coming to her36.

Megan was so curious that she walked around37. Which of the following about Megan’s situation is TRUE?A. Her house was torn down by the wave.B. Her house was flooded.C. She was floating on the water, lying on a rough board.D. She was totally unconscious.38. What does the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Rose and disappeared.B. Kept rising.C. Moved upwards quickly.D. Moved downwards suddenly.39.

Megan was probably saved in the endCChinese International SchoolApplication FormBefore an applicant can be invited to take part in an assessment, an application form should be returned to the Admissions Office, and the application fee of HK$1,000 cannot be returned.

Children remember and learn from mistake when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.How large an allowance is proper? Experts say there isn’t right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.To set a proper allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditure(花费) such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expense, such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expend itures.”Finally add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers can feel left out.It can be tough, but avoiding excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was f or bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk h ome.”One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store; then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home,” recalls Stephens, no w a financial planner in Brooklyn. “At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an impo rtant lesson.”Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily housework. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home; that can develop his or her initiative(积极性).44. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a child’s initiative.B. How to work up an amount of pocket money.C. How to teach a child to save money.D. How to teach a child about money.45.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Children should not be given money if they do daily house work.B. The amount of allowance should include money spent on books.C. Giving allowance to children helps them arrange daily expenses.D. Children should be given the same amount of money as their friends.EI’m telling you,Johnson, this is going to be the biggest development in animal-imitative cybernetics (动物模仿控制学) since Hayes pioneered the field way back in 2014. Everybody’s going to want a piece of my discovery! Everyone! Even United States of Earth Defense! I’m going to be the richest man alive!I can see you don’t share my excitement yet. Just wait, old friend. Accompany me to my lab, and we will see who has the last laugh. You’ll be begging me to take you on as a lab assistant after I...Oh, here we are. You first, my good man. You see, I had already come up with the perfect cybernetic engine, able to copy any life form. The question was, which creature would be the best show of my discovery? I’ve used a life form nobody’s considered for cybernetics. It is powerful, graceful, intelligent, and best of all people love it. I chose the tiger!Go on, have a glance! Ha! Don’t look so shocked, Johnson. I leave it powered down when I’m not testing it. It is rather great, though. Yes, all the latest technology, including claws (爪) I had made from vanadium alloy(合金). It cuts through steel like its wet cardboard. The process that I used to get its mind in the computer will be enough to ensure me fame and fortune.Huh? It did move, didn’t it? I guess I left it on yesterday. No, don’t look so nervous; I can shut off its main power with this remote(遥控器)right here. Nothing to worry about. I really don’t think it’s regarding you as a meal. Be reasonable, old...Oh, God! Johnson! The remote, where is it? Where?!Ah, there we go! Too late to save Johnson, though. What a pity. Better safe than sorry. There! God, what a mess. Even worse, I can’t call the police now; the bad publicity would overshadow my breakthrough, and certainly frighten the investors. I’ve got to get rid of the body secretly, somehow. I could bury it, but I might be seen. I could burn it, but the smoke would be very doubtful. What to do?What to...I wonder...How fast can this cat eat?47. What’s the author’s attitude towards his invention?A. Proud.B. Disappointed.C. Cheerful.D. Astonished.48. It can be inferred that the invention in the passage is a________.A. surpriseB. successC. failureD. wonder49. What was the worst result of this invention?A. He couldn’t get rid of his friend’s body.B. The robot tiger killed his friend.C. He couldn’t control the robot tiger.D. The robot tiger had to be improved.50. What does the last sentence “I wonder...How fast can this cat eat” suggest?A. The writer wanted to know if he could find a cat to eat John’s body.B. The writer wondered how fast this cat could eat a person.C. The writer wanted to test whether this machine tiger is powerful enough.D. The writer wanted to cover up the facts that his experiment is a failure.第二节补全对话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
