第一节: 阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
I first went to Harrow in the summer term.The school had the biggest swimming pool I had even seen.It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool.I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool.He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair ing secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet.I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by fierce strokes(猛力地划) to the shore.I fled, but in vain.He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool.I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys."Do you know what you have done?" they said."It's Amery; he is in Grade Six.He is champion at gym;he has got his football honor."
I was frightened and felt ashamed.How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.He didn't seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
56.The writer thought Amery "a fair game" because the boy_______.
A.looked like an animal
B.was fond of games
C.was of similar size
D.was good at sports
57.The writer felt "ashamed" because _____________.
A.he was laughed at by other boys

D.he played a joke on an outstanding athlete
58.By saying "My father, who is a great man, is also small.”the writer __________.
A.tried to please Amery
B.challenged Amery
C.threatened Amery
D.admired his father
59.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The writer could run faster than Amery.
B.The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.
C.Amery was a student in Grade Four.
D.Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior.

If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head,
a ring through her nose, a totem design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas.The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth.The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal.So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat.There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful.It is a kind of test.If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult. In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung".They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck.I mean a VERY long neck.Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it.But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders.Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer.A Padaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
61.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?
A.Women's design.
B.Beautiful body decoration.
C.Attractive decoration.
D.Body decoration.
62.What does the underlined word "trolley" in the first paragraph mean?
A.handbag
B.luggage
C.shopping cart
D.basket
63.On Bali, it is believed that _____________.
A.a person with sharp teeth looks ugly
B.a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C.a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D.no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
64.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.
B.Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
C.It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
D.Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
65.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Who Is a Beautiful Woman?
B.Inner beauty
C.Different Ideas about Beautiful
D.Body Decoration

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things.A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning.Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly.The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning.Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs ,meat, vegetables, and many other foods.After entering the body, these tiny living things release（释放） poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning.They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed or prepared.For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small.Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing.Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms.People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it.Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.

基础写作
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether passengers who ride in a car driven by a drunken driver should be punished.The minority of the students hold the opinion that punishing the passengers helps to reduce traffic accidents and increase traffic safety.Not to ride in a car driven
by a drunken driver is not only a responsible behavior for passengers themselves but also for the drivers and other people on the road.
The majority of the students, however, disapprove of the idea, stating that it
is difficult for common passengers to know whether the driver has been drinking or not.What’s more, even if the passenger knows the driver has drunk alcohol and has attempted to persuade the driver not to drive, it is unfair to punish the passenger when the driver does not follow the advice.As far as I am concerned, punishing passengers as well as the drivers is not only unfair but is also hard to carry out.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
