AThe story happened during the Second World War. An old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.It was a ve ry cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s home town.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”26. The old man’s sons joined the army because ________.A. they had to do soB. they loved their countryC. they wanted to be fullD. they were all strong27.

The old man found a friend at the police station.BWhen a person passes through the customs (海关) between two countries, he would be questioned by a customs inspector (检查员). If a person brings in goods of great value, the inspector may ask him to pay taxes on them. Some people try to hide the valuables they have with them so that they will not have to pay these taxes. But customs inspectors are hard to fool.Inspector Joseph Koehler has worked for the US Customs Service for years. One day a group of passengers arrived on a flight from Belgium.Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him pick her out of the m ― the woman’s baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid（使…摆脱）himself of the feeling that something was wrong.Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This woman’s height didn’t seem right somehow. Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something. The inspector opened them.A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More jewels were found under a false bottom in one of her suitcases. Their total weight was 3,387 carats. It was one of the largest diamond hauls (缴获) ever made by the US Customs.29. From the passage, we can know that Joseph Koehler _____.A. only asked the women passengers to pay taxes on the valuable goodsB. had worked for almost one year in the US customsC. opened every passengers’ package when they passed the customsD. found a false bottom in one of the woman’s suitcases30. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.A. the reason to pick the woman outB. the tax the woman should payC. the woman’s baggageD. the inspector’s duty31. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.A. the woman was fond of making jokesB. the jewels were of high qualityC. Koehler made great contributions to US CustomsD. US Customs are in great need of inspectors like Koehler32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The woman made some changes to her baggage.B. Koehler was attracted by the woman’s beauty.C. The job of a customs inspector is dangerous.D. The jewels were damaged by the US Customs.CIt’s cool, it’s hot, and everyone is doing it. People talk about it often, and friends tell other friends how good they look. Sound like a fashion? In fact, it’s another trend (流行趋势): “blog”. What’s a blog? A blog is a personal online diary. The word “blog ger” means a person who writes diaries online.Many bloggers are teenagers who log (进入) onto websites to discuss anything in their lives. Many of today’s teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teenagers complain about parents and homework. They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands (乐队) and show pictures of theirs. They write their own poems, say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.However, many parents are worried about these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk last weekend and how they don’t like studying. They are using language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teen bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it’s older men asking to meet teenage girls. “These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words,” said Cara Cabral, a mother of two.Many teenagers and young adults know it’s not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place they can be seen by anyone. But teenagers are unwilling to give up these new communication tools that have become a way of life for many of them.33. The word “it” means ________ in the sentence “People talk about it”.A. the InternetB. the blogC. the websiteD. talking online34. Parents think it’s dangerous for their kids to use blogs because _______.A. their kids use a surprising languageB. their kids talk about how they don’t like studyingC. teen bloggers get messages from strangersD. their kids talk about their girlfriends or boyfriends35. Which of the following is NOT true according to (依据) the passage?A. It’s easy for teenagers to give up blogging.B. Many teenagers know it’s not safe to use the blog on the Internet.C. A blogger’s information about himself can be se en by anyone on the Internet.D. Most of today’s teenagers aren’t afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives.DNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence(暴力) and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional(情感的) scars(伤疤). Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(恶梦).Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin(毁灭) people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.36. The passage is mainly about _______.A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill37. The drug tested on people can _______.A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories38. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _______.A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America39. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.40. You may probably read the passage in _______.A. a guidebookB. a textbookC. a medical magazineD. a science fiction三、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的止确形式，每空只写一词。
