A
I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak
a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed，rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm.
There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again.
I nodded politely and began walking in the direction（方向） he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.
11. The newspaper-seller______.
A. didn’t know where the hotel was
B. didn’t understand what the writer said
C. could understand what the writer said
D. didn’t want to take the money from the writer
12. From the story we know that the policeman______.
A. wa s kind but didn’t understand the writer
B. told the writer where to take a train
C. knew what the writer really meant
D. was cold-hearted and didn’t help the writer
13. What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A. The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.
B. The writer got to the hotel with the policeman’s help.
C. The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.
D.The writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.
B
Walk into the California home of Anne Belles and her husband, Jim Silcock, and you’ll see kids everywhere playing video games, doing homework, and getting ready for dinner. There are 30 boys in this house and Anne Belles is their mom. Belles has wanted to help children since she was a kid. “I was intrigued by the movie Oliver in the 1960s, a musical（音乐片） based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist.
I told my mom, “That’s what I want to
do.” Ann e’s boys are from 3 to 25 years old. All of them are disabled in some way. “They
each have special needs — physically（身体上）, mentally (精神上), or at school,” says Belles.
Every day, a small army of childcare workers, nurses, and volunteers comes in to help cook and clean, wash 30 loads of laundry（衣服） a day, and take care of health needs.
To find out how much such a large family costs, we followed Jim Silcock to the grocery（杂货） store. He spent $880 on food for one week. Every month they spend $2,000 to run five cars, $15,000 for the fourteen paid helpers, and more than $10,000 on medical costs（医药费）. The family receives $26,000 a month from the state government, and makes some money from a family business. All the money is spent on the children; having new clothes and fancy cars isn’t important to Belles.
How do the kids feel? 17-year-old Anthony says, “The family is there whenever I need something ... I feel like I am loved.”
“Everything I’m doing now is what I wanted to happen in my life,” says Anne Belles. “So, no regrets（后悔）; this is perfect. I couldn’t ask for it to be better —maybe a bigger house, you know, would be nice.”
14. The underlined word “intrigued” in the first paragraph means “_____”
.A. fooled B. attracted C. frightened D. disappointed
15. The boys Anne has raised _____.
A. are all ready to accept a challenge
B. all like Oliver Twist
C. all have disabilities
D. are all teenagers
16. For Anne and her husband, raising 30 boys _____.
A. is their dream
B. is no small task
C. is a piece of cake
D. is their family tradition
17. What do 17-year-old Anthony’s words mean?
A. He is satisfied with his family.
B. He has learnt how to love others.
C. He wants to get more care and love.
D. He is still looking for his own family.
C
What will people die of 100 year s from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological（技术的） event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells（细胞） are the basic units（单位） of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond（超过） 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last （持续） forever（永远）. But the upper limits（上限） will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced（发展） to the point at which every 10 years or so，pe ople will be able to take medicine to repair their organs （器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence（生存），but many technical（科技的） problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
18．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________. A．diseases and aging （老化）
B．accidents and war
C．accidents and aging
D．heart disease and war
19．In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance（进步） in technology （技术） lies in（在于） ________.
A．medicine B．the Internet
C．brain cells D．human organs
20．Humans may live longer in the future because ________.
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs c an be repaired by new medicine
21．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?
A．Over 100 years.
B．More than 120 years.
C．About 150 years.
D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
D
How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them．They'll say," my destiny（命运）．I cannot change it．"
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external（外部的）factor（因素）．
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it．Guess what her lifestyle is．She wakes up in the morning, goes to work comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep．Next day, the same routine （例行的）cycle follows．
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts for her heart that this is the life that has been intended（打算）for her, and that her luck can only change if God wills it．She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to（努力） live the life of our dreams． Remember that you harvest（收获） what you sow（播种）．You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone （unless it contributes to your success）, and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect
your luck to change, unless you do something about it．If something goes wrong, don't just regard（看待） it as a temporary （暂时的）setback（挫折）; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem．It's not enough to think positively（乐观地）; you also have to act positively．
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person．So it is with your own life．It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best．In other words, don't just stand （or sit ）there, do something to improve your life ．
22．According to the woman mentioned（提到） in Para3, her life ________. A．doesn't need improving
B．couldn’t be improve
C．will be better some day
D．will be worse in the future
23．What does the author think of the woman's life?
A．Passive（消极的） B．Positive（积极的）．
C．Colorful． D．Boring．
24．Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging．
B．Your luck can be changed by your efforts．
C．You can only achieve success when God wills it ．
D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends．
25．In Paragraph 5, the author emphasized the importance of_______.
A．hope for the best
B．intention（意图） to succeed
C．positive thinking
D．positive action

Be fun!
27 about the people you most enjoy being with — usually they are always on the up and up（诚实的）. Being fun makes people happy and brightens（使闪亮；使生辉；使快乐） the way they think of you. It makes you seem like you truly love life and you can deal with any problems that you have to face.
Listen!
Good conversations are important when you want to make a new friend, and sometimes you just have to be quiet and listen. When you are chatting, pay attention to what they’re saying. 28 Phew（唷）! It’s hard work making new friends, but it’s worth it!
29

On the evening of last Saturday, I watched a concert given by Andy Lau, a famous star from Hong Kong, at the stadium of our city.
Although the weather was extremely hot, the fans enjoyed it very much. There was no empty seat anywhere at the concert. Both the stage design and the sound system were excellent. During the four-hour concert, Andy Lau danced to music while singing, showing his great talent for music.
The audience enjoyed Andy Lau’s performance very much. Most of them were his fans and they sang along to nearly every song. Everyone agreed that the concert was a great success.。
