When I come across a good article in reading newspapers. I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 2 in good health, or 3 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 4 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 5 the title. Therefore, the scissors would 6 before they start, 7 halfway done when I find out the 8 result.

But you know the future is unpredictable(不可预料) — the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 11 . Thus you are 12 in a difficult position and feel sad.

In fact that is what 15 is like, we are often 16 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 17 we get into another. The 18 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 19 remember a philo sopher’s remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual(不经意) 20 may not be a bad one.

(共20题,每题2分,满分40分)
A
In the tenth grade，I began volunteering at a veterinary（兽医的） hospital that was run by a family friend in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job.As it turns out，the experience I gained at the hospital taught me the opposite：that my future was not in veterinary medicine.However，there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.
The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we frequently had people come in who just could not pay for the most basic treatments.On this Saturday a man and his young son，who was probably about 7 years old，walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box.I remember the cat had an eye infection but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam.When he asked where the nearest animal shelter was，his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up，walked up to the counter，and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford.The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.
I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person，but only saw people perform acts of kindness on TV or in movies.The woman in the vet’s office taught me that these things do happen in real life，and should happen more often.When I am hesitant (犹豫的) to be the first person to help someone who is in need，I remember this woman，and have the courage to step up to the plate.Sometimes other people follow.
21．Why did the author work at the veterinary hospital?

23．What does the underlined phrase “Out of the blue” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Out of order. B First of all. C．Now and then. D．Suddenly.
24．From the second paragraph，we can know that________.

B．nobody paid for the small cat’s medicine and exam
C．most people who went to this veterinary hospital were very poor
D．the woman took away the small cat with her at last
B
Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public.Reporters，photographers，correspondents，and editors are some of the people who create newspapers.They are known as journalists.
Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news.They attend meetings.They cover events such as court cases，plays，and sporting events.They interview people to get their views about what is going on.Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline.People do not want to read old news.They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens.Reporters sometimes phone or e­mail their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene.A reporter in the office then writes the story.
A “stringer” is a part­time reporter who works when called upon.A fire might
break out in one part of town.An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story.
Reporters often work with photographers，or photojournalists.Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper.They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story.
A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge rge newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there.A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news.
An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office.Editors prepare the reporters’ stories to be printed in the paper.They decide which story is most important and gets the front­page headline.They decide which pictures to use.Editors do not often write the news，but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.
People who work as journalists have some things in common.They are curious，they like to write，and they have a “nose for news”．They can spot news as it happens.They know what people want to read about.

What to do if a fire starts?

a wall. Being near the grou nd makes it easier to breathe. If possible, cover your
mouth and nose with a wet cloth.

do not open it. The fire is probably right outside your room. Find another way to leave the room. If the door is cool, open it a little.

on the floor.

These are some signs that you can see on the roads of Great Britain.
Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign they must not go at more than thirty miles an hour. We see this sign when we get to parts of the country where there are many houses and other buildings, for example, when we are getting near a town. Thirty miles an hour is the speed limit. Number two is sign for the end of the speed limit. We are out of the town now and may go at more than thirty miles an hour.
Number three is a sign that we are near a crossroads, that is, a place where two roads cross. We must drive carefully.
Number four is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully.
Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the roads get narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully.
Number seven has the word “school” on it.This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the a street or road. Perhaps there are children going to school or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly until they are past the school building.
Number eight is a sign with the letter P on it. The letter P is for “parking.”
A parking place is a place where drivers may leave their cars. If the driver of the a car wants to leave his car and go to the shops, he looks for this sign. Then he knows that he may leave his or her car there.
33. Who will most probably read the p assage?
A People who drive badly.
B .People who drive well.
C People who are learning to drive
D People who drive carelessly.
34. When a driver sees the sign number one, he must ____________.
A.always go at 30 miles an hour
B. n ot go at more than 30 miles an hour
C. go at more that 30 miles an hour
D. stop
35. A driver must drive carefully when he gets to ____________.
A. a bend
B. a crossroads
C. a narrow road
D. all of them
36. If a driver wants to leaves his car and go to the shops, ____________.
A. he must look for the sign with the letter P on it
B. he can leave his car at the gate of any shop
C. he can leave his car anywhere
D. he can leave his car at the side of the street.

In the far, far future, bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer (飞碟). Imagine a race between them!
There may be telepathy helmets (心灵感应帽) that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on!
What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial —made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air,
and water. The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.
The future hospitals will probably have “body banks” that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.
What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer (驾驶). Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And it probably will be impos sible for cars to smash together. Controls that won’t even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home.
But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes (圆顶罩) over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won’t have to worry about rain. It will rain only whe n the “weatherman” thinks it is necessary to fresh the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm.
The future should be a wonderful time in which to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago.
37.What can we learn from the passage?
A. With telepathy helmets, we can share our thoughts without any word.
B. The artificial food made from coal and limestone tastes the most delicious in the future.
C. There will be “body banks” instead of hospitals in the future.
D. Plastic domes themselves can automatically control the weather.
38. The underlined word “that” (in Paragraph 2) refers to ______.
A. telepathy helmet
B. the brain
C. thought wave
D. the secret
39. With the future highways, ______.
A. small children have to learn to drive
B. car accidents still couldn’t be avoided
C. we can be taken to the destination without steering
D. cars will be no longer equipped with brakes
40. The author’s attitude towards the future life is ______.
A. Doubtful
B. pessimistic
C. satisfied
D. optimistic
(二)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(每题2分,满分10分)
Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP （超感觉知觉）.
41 . It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
Here’s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. 42 There are thousands of stories like this one on record. 43 . Here’s another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver
said, “There’s room for one more.” 44 . The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said ,“There’s room for one more.”
Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
45 . Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
A. ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception
B. The woman’s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
C. people can not tell the future easily
D. The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away
E. Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages
F. someone can not live very long
G. Some people say stories like these are coincidences(巧合)

John was studying in his room while he heard screaming. When he and his father
rushed outside ,he found Anne Slade, mother of three, lie in her front garden bleeding
very heavy. It was John’s quick action and knowledge of his first aid which saved
Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked the number of nearby people for bandages, but
when nobody could put their hands on some, her father got some tea towels and tape
from their house. John used these treat the most s evere injuries to Ms Slade’s hands.

Life in the future
In the future , man’s life will be very different from that of today. First, because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control. people can fly anywhere in a hovering carriage driven by computer, which is environmentally friendly, quick and safe. All the waste will be recycled and turned into several grades of useful material. Second, people’s daily life will change greatly, too. Not only do robots work in factories in place of workers, but they will also do all your housework for you. You can put your mobile phone around your wrist and can see the caller while speaking. You can also travel in space for a holiday by capsule in your spare time. On the whole you can do whatever you like as long as it’s not bad to others.。
