Not many people had a reason to be on it 37 they were leaving.He almost didn’t see a small car 38 at the side of the road. He thought the driver might need help, so he pulled up in front of the car and got out. An old lady was in the car. At first she was worried. ―He didn’t look 39 . He looked poor and hungry,‖she thought. He could see that she was 40 . He said, ―I’m here to help you, Madam.‖All the lady had was a flat tire (瘪的轮胎).

AIf you are a young lady and you go to work by bike, the following suggestions can help you keep clean and tidy.1. Get your clothes ready.Clothes allow you to cool off or warm up as your body temperature changes. You can always take off something at a traffic light.2. Don’t give up skirts and dresses.Skirts and dresses are perfect for summer cycling. Choose something soft and light. For a more fitted skirt, make sure you can move easily.3. Roll up your trouser leg. This can help you avoid dirty marks or torn (破损的) trousers. Wear sports shoes and keep your high heels (脚跟) at work or in your bag for the day.4. Wear a cotton T-shirt close to your body. If you need to wear a jacket for work, try a cotton T-shirt inside to take in perspiration (汗水). Once at work, you can take it off and put on a dry one.5. Wear something bright. Throw on a deep pink neck scarf or have bright rings or footwear on to make yourselves seen easily.48. Who is the passage written for?A. Small children.B. Old gentlemen.C.

The popular food was invented in 1853 by George Crum, who was a cook at Moon Lake Restaurant, in Saratoga Springs，New York. A guest complained (抱怨) that the fried (炸) potatoes that Crum had cooked were too thick. Crum thought the guest was making trouble. In return he cut potatoes paper thin and fried them.The guest loved what soon became known as ―Saratoga Chips‖, and the new dish became the most popular in the restaurant. Other restaurants in the eastern United States borrowed the idea, but potato chips were not produced for home use until William Tappenden of Cleveland, Ohio, started the first potato-chip factory in Cleveland.Potatoes are made up of about 25% solids, mostly starches (淀粉) and sugar, and 75% water. But they are not always so. Marsha McNeil Sherman, Director of Fast Food Association in Los Angeles, explains: ―Generally, more of the water can be found in the middle of the potato. Frying is a way to dry the potato. So, the edges of potatoes are fried faster than the middle.51. Where did potato chips first appear in the United States?A. In Cleveland.B. In Ohio.C. In New York.D. In Los Angeles.52. What can be found most in potatoes, according to the passage?A. Solids.B. Starches.C. Sugar.D. Water.53. Why are the edges of potatoes fried faster?A. Because they have less water.B. Because they are thinner.C. Because they have fewer solids.D. Because they are softer.COn a rubbish run to work, I was greeted with a sight that made me both sad and angry. On the top of the pile (堆) of rubbish sat a small dog. He was too high up to get down, and there was no way that he could have climbed up by himself. He had been thrown out with the rubbish by some sick-minded person.I took him back to my workplace and then home with me. I didn’t want to take him to the lost animal society. However, later that evening, my boss heard that someone had lost their dog and gave them my number. I was very surprised when the dog’s owner phoned me.She came straight over to fetch him and was very thankful for what I’d done. The dog wassitting on an electric blanket (毯子) happily playing with a ball when she arrived.Maybe she’d been putting her rubbish into bags and had left one on the floor. The little dog had jumped in there, and without realizing where he was, she’d tied the bag and dropped it off at the collection point. Luckily, he was able to find his way out somehow, and had found himself high up.It made me feel very silly for jumping to such a wrong conclusion. It was obvious (明显的) that she loved her dog very much, and I felt sorry for what I’d been thinking about its owner all afternoon.Now I’m never sure that something happened in a certain way, no matter how obvious it appears. And when I hear people drawing a conclusion without the facts, I tell them about the dog on the rubbish pile.54. How did the dog come to the rubbish pile probably?A. He was thrown there by his owner.B. He climbed there on his own.C. He was driven there by someone.D. He followed the writer there.55. The writer brought the dog home because ______.A. she didn’t know whose he wasB. she was waiting for the ownerC. she wanted to keep him homeD. she’d like to give him to the boss56. What is the best conclusion we can draw from the story?A. Everyone takes pity on lost animals.B. There are really sick-minded people.C. We should correct mistakes in time.D. Facts must come before conclusions.DAll over the planet, they are disappearing. Scientists are worried. It may mean the end of the world. I’m not talking about disappearing frogs. I’m talking about absent vowels (元音). I got a message the other day that said, ―Mt @ 3 rd st crnr @ 12‖, signed (签字) ―BT‖. What did it mean?A young man in the office told me that BT meant ―beauty‖and translated: ―A beautiful young woman wants to meet you at the corner of Third Street at noon.‖The following week I was at a private dining club when a Hong Kong banker named David told me he had met with a man who pronounced his name Choong, but spelt C-H-N-G. ―There can’t be many names with no vowels in them,‖he said. It turned out he was sitting next to a Singaporean doctor named Ng.Vowels are disappearing at high speed among businesses, too. Ever wondered what happened to Reebok, the sportswear company? It’s still around but has renamed itself Rbk. Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC.I’ve read articles saying that the no-vowels trend (趋向) is caused by companies trying to give their products the shorthand spelling liked by young people. But a research finds that the real reason is often more uninteresting. Flickr, one of the busiest websites on the Internet, was set up by people who wanted the name Flicker but were too careless to register (注册) that word.Have any readers ever been to a small town in the mountains of California called Zzyzx? A man named Curtis Howe Springer founded it as a health club and called it Zzyzx because he thought it sounded different. The business failed. People who looked through lists for somewhere to go never reached it.Older readers may remember the computer game Zzyzzyxx that appeared in 1982. Fans did not know how to ask for it. James Gleick’s book Faster has been re-titled FSTR. But the revision is half-hearted with the main text of the book still having vowels. Why not write the whole book in the simpler way? U cn stll rd ths wtht vwls. On the other hand, just know that vowel–free words can be explained in different ways. One day I’ll get a message from a BT who may be a beauty. But I’m afraid a bat (蝙蝠) will be out there.57. The writer’s purpose in the passage is ______.A. to introduce a new trendB. to study a new languageC. to correct a new mistakeD. to show a new method58. The word ―around‖ in the third paragraph means ______.A. on every sideB. here and thereC. present in a placeD. without special purposes59. What’s the result of the use of vowel-free words, according to the passage?A. It makes communication easier.B. It helps us write more quickly.C. It brings a lot of fun to people.D. It causes some trouble in life.60. What does the writer think of the use of vowel-free words?A. He doubts the idea a little.B. He doesn’t mind the matter.C. He doesn’t think it’s good to do so.D. He accepts the idea at last.七、阅读短文还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读短文，根据上下文意思，将方框中的句子还原到短文中适当位置。
