Mr. Baker had to give his money.“It doesn’t matter, young man,” the old man said. “I’ll give you a chance to win the money back. I can also bite my right eye.

Colds are caused by viruses （病毒）in the body, and you are better out on the snowy day than you are in a warm room, with your friends, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill (寒战) when you are coming down with a cold, you are already silk. A chill is an early sign of the cold.The virus can spread through air when a cold-sufferer (感冒患者) coughs or sneeze(打喷嚏) . Surprisingly, this is the most usual way of spreading. Many studies have now shown that most colds are “caught” by hands. A cold-suffer rubs her nose, so spreading the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit her. They shake their hands. The friend then gets something to eat by hand, and several days later she catches a cold. Although some parents pick up their children’s tissues (纸巾) and carefully throw them away, they fail to wash their hands. They’ll catch colds, too.Cold viruses can also be spread by objects, for example, telephones, plates. The cold-suffer as well asother members of the house, by washing their hands often, will stop the viruses from spreading in away. ( ) 1. Colds are caused by ____.A bad weatherB virusesC chillD your friends( ) 2. The word “spread ” means ____.A 翻译B 传统C传递 D 传播( ) 3. Which of the following sentences is true in the passage?A. An early sign of the cold is viruses in the body.B The virus can’t spread through air.C Objects can spread cold viruses, too.D Few colds are “caught” by hands.( ) 4.People catch colds easily because they _____.A rub their nosesB shake their handsC pick up their children’s tissuesD can’t often wash their hands( ) 5. The passage mainly tell us that _____.A washing hands is a way to keep us from catching coldsB colds are caused by bad weatherC the cold-sufferer shakes hands with the friendsD we should stay in a warm room on the snowy dayD“Y ou are just in time, Joe. We’re going to play cowboys(牛仔) and Indians and you can be the Indians,” one of my cousins(堂兄弟) said.“How many Indians?” I asked.“Oh, about a thousand,” he answered, and before I could say no, I was pushed out into the night and became a thousand Indians. Two minutes later I was running in the fields with a group of cowboys behind. The shouts of “After them. Let’s catch the killers! ” and other such TV-play language came into my ears as I ran around a corner and hurried into my Grandpa’s car.“We’ve got him, boys. Let’s go and catch him!”But no one wanted to come to get me. All of my cousins except one were always very friendly with me. It was quiet outside. And I went out of the car to have a look.Just then I heard a shout. “Bring the rope (绳子), and we can burn him.”“Only Indians burn people. Cowboys…”I stopped just in time. I had almost said, “Cowboys hang(绞死)people.”I was tied to a tree, and the cowboys were looking for some wood when my dear mother called, “We’re leaving now.”“Untie me,” I shouted. “We’re going.”“Why did Bobby want matches(火柴)?”Mum asked when we were in the car. “He was asking Dad whether he had any.”“Oh, he was just going to matches? Matches? Are you sure he wanted matches? ”Mother was quite sure, and I didn’t say any more.( ) 1. How many children played the Indians?A One thousandB One hundredC One groupD One( ) 2.

When we were saying goodbye, I suddenly felt afraid that I had never hadbefore. This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away（擦去）my tears, I realizedthat, from that moment on, I would have to doeverything by myself.After my arrival in Wellington, my teacher, Ms. Lang, showed me around my new school.A few days later, I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class.Only maths, science, social studies（社会学）and English were pulsory, and students could choose other subjects for themselves, I chose music, Japanese and health.In New Zealand, students are very active in class. And teachers are not as serious. They often let us play games in class. We can sit with anyone we like, and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student’s desk. The school had an easy manner, with few rule s.Because there was no homework, we could join clubsor do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies.Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand, studentsdepend onthe library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do.Time went fast. The two months after I arrived flew by. Then a week of exams began.I did not have to take these exams, because I had only been at the school for a short time. However, my maths teacher encouragedme to take the maths exam, as she thought I could do well. Though there wasn’t much pressureon me, I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain.When the day of the exam came, I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later, my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark: It was me!I got 94 percent.All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life43. The word “Wellington” in the fourth paragraph is the name of_______.A. the writer’s new teacherB. the writer’s new schoolC. a city in New ZealandD. a person we don’t know44. When she was wiping away her tears, the writer realized that________.A. she had already arrived in New Zealand.B. she could no longer see her parents in Hong Kong.C. she had to say goodbye to her parents.D. she would start a new life in New Zealand all by herself.45. The word “pulsory” in the sixth paragraph means_______ in Chinese.A. 必修的B. 选修的C. 义务的D. 有责任的46. The writer always went to the library because ________.A. the teacher asked her to do soB. she wanted to gain knowledge with the help of many booksC. she had no homework and had nothing to doD. she must get ready for the exams47. The writer didn’t have to take the exams, ________.A. so she didn’t work hard to get ready for themB. but she thought she could do well and took the maths examC. but she took the maths exam and did best of all in itD. so she found she finished the paper faster than the othersBLisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.It was a fearless mother’s love that made Lisa forgot what she faced. She took up an old hatchet from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.One, two, with the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa’s heart was broken and she nearly went mad. Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened hermouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a touch steak. Lisa was really mad.A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake’s body madly and savagely.S tinking blood was spraying out of the snake’s body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.48.What did Lisa find when she came into the backyard?A. big snake was swallowing her son.B. Her son was playing with a poisonous snake.C. Her son was in no danger of losing his life.D. Barney was fighting a big snake.49.Why did Lisa fail in killing the snake at first?A. Because she was afraid that what she did would hurt her son.B. Because the hatchet was not sharp enough and the snake’s skin was too hard.C. Because the snake was even stronger than Lisa.D. Because she was too astonished to do anything.50. _______, so she bit the snake.A. Lisa was really driven madB. Lisa thought her teeth were much sharper than the hatchetC. Lisa couldn’t refuse the temptation of the snake’s meatD. Lisa had not got any other way to deal with the snake51.From the story, we learned that it was a mother’s love that made ____.A. Barney braveB. the snake frightenedC. Lisa mad and angryD. the woman fearless52.Which of the following is true?A. The wounded snake didn’t crawl back into its hiding hole in th e forest before it died.B. Without her teeth sharper than anyone else’s, she would not have defeated the snake.C. Even though Barney was not saved alive, the lady won a brave victory of love.D. Even if she did not use the hatchet again, the snake would still be killed.CThirty- two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fello wman? “Not so,”say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency（紧急情况）. Suppose you see a middle aged man fall to the side - walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a a（昏迷） from a headache? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke ing into the room from a leak（漏洞） in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person facedwith an emergency must feel personally responsible（负责任的）. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested.”Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups.

Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t.
