The lake was a perfect mirror with peaceful huge mountains all around it. Above was a 37 sky with light white clouds. All who 38 this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had 39, too. But these were not flat at all. Above was an 40 sky, from which rain fell heavily and in which lightning played 41. Down the side of the mountain was a waterfall with loud sound. This did not look 42 at all.
But when the king looked 43, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush 44 in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had 45 her nest. There, with the current of angry water, the mother bird was 46 her hungry children in the nest, taking no attention to its 47 surroundings — in perfect peace.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 0.334 km. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”
51. Light speed is _____ than sound speed.
A. millions times faster
B. a million times slower
C. about millions of times faster
D. about a million times faster
52. If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that ___
A. you can hear the gun before you see the smoke
B. sound does not travel as fast as light
C. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun
D. sound travels about a million times faster than light
53. The light of the nearest star you see tonight has been ____ for years.
A. on the earth
B. on the moon
C. away from the sun
D. away from the star
B
The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding diffe rent dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
54. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. Never change in our life
B. Change when you like to do

Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Song tang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21．
Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially - decorated“ care huts”. They talked with them and gave massages（按摩）to patients kept in their beds.
I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up. said Deng Yetao, 20, a third - year student. “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness i s worse than physical pains.”
“Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson. Said Mao Xiaohua, another third - year student.
Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80 - room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.
Ninety - one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital.
Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer. A total of 330, 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.
Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt“ the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness（昏迷）while he was holding his hands.

Oct. 18, Wendsday Fine
Today I went on a trip to Nanjiao Park with all my classmates. After an hour’s ride, we arrived there. As soon as we got there, we began to climb the hill. All the way up, we sang happily. On top of the hill, we played some interesting games. All of us enjoyed ourselves very much.
After we had our picnic at noon, we organized an activity, talking to the visitors about the importance of protecting the environment. At about 4 in the afternoon we returned.
We not only had a good time but also did a good deed today. Though I am tired now, I feel quite happy.。
